Young Master Yuan's eyes gradually turned crazed.
Who would have thought that this little slut would have such great charm? She was dumped one day and then hooked up with the Thirteenth Prince the next.
This is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for the Yuan family!
Thinking of this, a strong desire welled up in Young Master Yuan's heart, and he began to imagine how he would dominate the capital.
At this moment, Madam Yuan, who was standing to the side, was also shocked. She immediately realized the huge benefits involved. Her eyes gleamed with greed as she pointed at Luo Shisan and shouted, "My daughter has always been the most obedient and well-behaved. She must have been seduced by you to do such a wrong thing. You must take responsibility! If you don't take responsibility, I will send her to a nunnery outside the city tomorrow in a sedan chair to become a nun!"
"Our Yuan family will not tolerate such a disgraced abandoned woman!"
A gasp of disbelief rippled through the crowd.
That sinful nunnery was no ordinary nunnery; it was full of nuns who had committed crimes because of their families. Although they were called nuns, they were actually prostitutes.
That Madam Yuan is so cruel.
As expected, upon hearing this, Luo Shisan panicked instantly and blurted out, "I'll take care of it! I'll take care of it! I... I'll go back and have my mother propose marriage! You... you mustn't bully her!"
Luo Shisan's face turned bright red, and he didn't even dare to turn around and look at her, for fear of seeing her rejection.
Young Master Yuan and his wife were overjoyed.
"Fine! I'll give you three days. The betrothal gifts and wedding arrangements must not be lacking!"
Madam Yuan originally thought that this little slut would at most become a concubine and be carried into the general's mansion in a sedan chair, but she never expected that Luo Shisan, that big fool, would actually propose marriage openly.
This kind of prestigious event is definitely better the more lively it is!
All eyes turned to Yuan Bao'er and the Thirteenth Young Master.
Yuan Bao'er was completely dumbfounded. What was this silly boy talking about?
Jiang Jiaojiao and Luo Feiyan also stared wide-eyed.
Li Yan and Jiang Jingtian behind him, however, showed a knowing expression. They had already seen the clue in the Thirteenth Young Master's eyes, but they did not want to expose it so soon.
The Fifth Prince's face instantly turned extremely gloomy, his eyes fixed on Yuan Bao'er, his heart filled with anger and resentment.
She must have been having an affair with Luo Shisan long ago, which is why she asked to leave the marriage. I always thought she was timid and obedient, but I never expected her to dare to betray me!
At this moment, filled with boundless rage, the Fifth Prince wished he could rush up and strangle this woman immediately; it was an absolute insult to him!
How could he endure such humiliation? All his former composure and gentleness crumbled, his eyes turned cold and piercing as he stared at the two people opposite him, as if he wanted to pierce them with his gaze.
Luo Shisan, General's Mansion.
He will make them pay the price!
Meeting the Fifth Prince's terrifying gaze, Jiang Jiaojiao was startled and instinctively reached out to pull the little crybaby next to her behind her.
However, Li Yan acted even faster than her. He darted forward, standing in front of Jiao Jiao, raised his head, and met the Fifth Prince's gaze without fear, his eyes filled with determination and resolve—a gaze that showed a willingness to protect her at all costs.
Their eyes met, and sparks flew.
This was the first time the Fifth Prince had seen such a strong fighting spirit in the Seventh Prince's eyes. He suddenly realized that the Seventh Prince was no longer the lifeless, sickly, and weak Seventh Prince he used to be.
From now on, there will be one more competitor in the struggle for that supreme position.
Even if his only goal was to protect the woman behind him.
Humans!
Isn't it only when desire arises that ambition comes into being?
The two princes faced each other in the street.
Those around them suddenly felt a strange tension, as if the two of them were about to draw their swords and fight to the death.
"Is this the seventh prince, who is suffering from a terrible illness, terminally ill, and nearing the end of his life?" someone asked quietly.
People around him cast curious glances at the Seventh Prince, their eyes filled with inquiry and amazement. Those who had seen him before could hardly believe it.
The former Seventh Prince exuded a sinister aura, as if shrouded in death, inspiring fear and keeping people at bay. But now, the Seventh Prince before us is like an immortal descended to earth, breathtakingly beautiful.
Some ladies and young women also began to secretly observe the Seventh Prince. If the Seventh Prince could recover, even if he could not ultimately ascend the throne, he would undoubtedly become a wealthy prince.
After all, he was also the emperor's biological son, and compared to the fifth prince, who had just taken three concubines, the seventh prince's harem was quite peaceful.
These ladies began to scheme in their hearts. If they could marry their daughters to the Seventh Prince, they would have the opportunity to become the prince's concubines, and might even rise in status through their sons. Therefore, they all started to think about finding a suitable opportunity to curry favor with the Seventh Prince.
It is said that it is easy to add flowers to brocade. The Seventh Prince is currently powerless and without influence. If they can provide help in times of need, wouldn't they be valued by the Seventh Prince even more in the future?
At this moment, the gazes directed at Jiang Jiaojiao and Jin Yuwan held a mixture of annoyance and jealousy.
Unfortunately, that idiot Jiang Jiaojiao and that merchant from the Jin family beat them to it.
I sensed inexplicable hostility from those around me.
Jin Yuwan was a little confused.
Before we could even process the news that the Thirteenth Prince was coming to propose marriage, His Highness had already clashed with the Fifth Prince over Jiao Jiao, and there were these envious and jealous looks in his eyes.
What does this have to do with me and Jiaojiao?
oh!
Yes, Jiaojiao is the future Seventh Prince's consort, so naturally she'll be with His Highness. They went to great lengths to get him back in good health.
With various rare medicinal herbs and Jiao Jiao's constant supply of pills, she had only just begun to recover when someone set their sights on her and tried to take advantage of her.
Jin Yuwan glared angrily back at the prying eyes.
The Seventh Prince is precious! No one is allowed to take him away!
Upon hearing her thirteenth brother's promise, Luo Feiyan stepped forward without hesitation, standing in front of Yuan Bao'er, clearly displaying a protective stance.
Heaven knows how much his parents worried about his marriage; their hair turned white from worry. The young ladies, fearing his bad luck, kept their distance from him. The thirteenth brother himself had no romantic feelings whatsoever, and didn't even have a maidservant by his side.
Her parents were worried all day long, feeling that the general's family line was about to end, and they even began to think about keeping her at home and finding someone to marry into the family.
Now that the thirteenth brother has suddenly come to his senses and is willing to get married, let alone a divorced woman, as long as she is alive, his parents will celebrate and bring her into the family!
Thinking of this, Luo Feiyan's gaze towards Yuan Bao'er grew increasingly excited.
Yuan Bao'er finally realized what was happening.
Little Twelfth was her good younger sister, while Thirteenth Prince was just a pitiful and tragic little brother in her heart.
She was grateful for his life-saving grace and protection, so naturally she wouldn't let him be controlled by her vicious stepmother. The Thirteenth Young Master was the golden nugget of the General's Mansion, how could she agree to let him marry a divorced woman?
So Yuan Bao'er patted Xiao Shier's hand in return, reassuring him, "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity. I know that the Thirteenth Prince is the most righteous, and I will remember this kindness."
Having said that, he gave a cold look to Madam Yuan and Boss Yuan, who were both greedy by nature.
They really thought she had returned to her old, clay-like nature. Having died once and drifted around for so many years, she was too cowardly and her soul would have long since dissipated.
Haha... This is really infuriating!
She was hungry and had planned to eat and drink her fill before returning to the Yuan family home to cause trouble. But since they had come to her doorstep, she decided to let them do as they pleased and make a scene!
