He then slowly took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and handed it to a servant.

The way she acted as if even touching her was a dirty thing infuriated Wang Fengyue. "You..."

“I was waiting for my wife, but she has forgotten me. So I have no choice but to stand here and wait for her to come back to me.”

Wang Fengyue was momentarily stunned by Wei Wuyan's captivating gaze, realizing that she had truly been bewitched by the Fifth Prince, who was all too familiar with her venomous heart.

How can it compare to...

"Then let's get going." Wang Fengyue was a little embarrassed and angry.

Wei Wuyan found it somewhat amusing. In his past life, he had loved her so much but hadn't even received a glance from her. In this life, he only wanted to kill her, yet she had shown him an infatuated look. Even if it was only for a moment, Wei Wuyan saw it clearly. He believed that no one in the world understood her better than him.

The two headed straight for the palace.

But as expected, we were still too late.

The empress, sitting on her high throne, was getting impatient; it had been so long since anyone dared to make her wait.

Why are you so late?

Before Wang Fengyue could speak, the Fifth Prince interjected, "Mother, it was Father-in-law who said that the Mistress was busy with official duties and that's why she got up late."

He wasn't wrong; that's exactly what the king said. In that case, prepare to face the wrath of the queen mother.

He is no longer the foolish Wei Wuyan he once was; he is now the noble Fifth Prince, and his mother and father will surely seek justice for him.

Wang Fengyue was furious. This fifth prince was still as unruly and willful as ever. She had indeed misjudged him earlier.

The Empress frowned. "Busy with official duties? Ha! I didn't know that a mere registrar of the Imperial Stud was so busy, still handling official business on his wedding night."

"In that case, you don't need to do it."

Wang Fengyue was astonished, but dared not refute, and could only express his gratitude.

However, she harbored even greater resentment towards the Fifth Prince, who had caused her to lose her official position.

Such people never reflect on their own mistakes; they only shift the blame onto others.
