Xu Wanqing knew that she had boasted, but she was not afraid and was confident that she could become the Crown Princess.
Therefore, she didn't feel embarrassed at all, and looked at Xu Maocai calmly and said: "Father, my daughter will definitely be the Crown Princess in the future. Could it be that the Crown Princess's biological mother is a concubine?"
As she spoke, Xu Wanqing's tone became much more severe.
Xu Maocai was excited and kept rubbing his hands, "Wanqing, did the prince say something to you?"
Xu Wanqing's eyes dodged, "Although the prince didn't say anything, I have confidence."
The excitement on Xu Maocai's face faded a lot.
Seeing this, Xu Wanqing quickly said, "Father, there are only three of us now. I won't hide it from you. The prince stayed overnight at my place. The child in my belly is enough to bring down Lin Yue'e."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Yaru and Xu Maocai's eyes lit up.
“Really…really?”
Xu Wanqing nodded proudly.
This time, Xu Maocai believed it completely.
"Okay, okay, in the future I will be the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the future father-in-law of the emperor."
After feeling proud for a while, he walked to Zhao Yaru, took her hand, and said happily: "Yaru, I'm so happy. Wanqing has made a name for herself. We can finally have a good life together."
Zhao Yaru rolled her eyes. "How can I have a good life? I'm just a concubine. How can people look down on me? They might even look down on Wanqing because of this."
"Nonsense! Who said you belonged to my aunt? I, Xu Maocai, welcomed you into the family in a sedan chair carried by eight people. Who dared to say that?"
"Humph! Then what am I now? Tell me, between me and that Huang, who is the principal wife?"
Xu Maocai hesitated for a moment, then said decisively: "Of course it's you, you are the principal wife."
"What about the household?"
"The middle-class household?"
Xu Maocai didn't know how to reply.
"Shouldn't the household management be handed over to me?"
Zhao Yaru pressed forward step by step.
"Yes, father, does my mother really have to be suppressed in this small Xu Mansion?"
Xu Wanqing spoke up, and Xu Maocai had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll go ask her for it."
After saying that, the man left.
Xu Wanqing and Zhao Yaru smiled at each other.
Huang Yueping seemed to have anticipated such a situation. She just lowered her head and said nothing.
Seeing this, Xu Maocai thought of how gentle and sensible she had been during this period, and he couldn't help feeling reluctant to let her go.
"Yueping, the situation is different now. Wanqing is hooking up with the Crown Prince. If, if..."
Before he could finish, Huang Yueping shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. "I don't blame you. Since she wants to be the first wife, then give it to her."
Xu Maocai felt full of guilt after hearing this.
"I'm afraid of Yifan..."
"Don't worry, Yifan is still my legitimate son. I only have this one son, how can I not care about him?"
Huang Yueping nodded, "Since Master said so, then I will oblige Master."
After saying this, she went into the inner room dejectedly.
"Yueping, there's one more thing."
Huang Yueping glanced at him and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
"It's just the household..."
Huang Yueping didn't even raise her eyelids and said directly: "She still has to take care of the household, right?"
Xu Maocai nodded, looking bitter and resentful, and sighed, "Who says it's not true? But I have to consider His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If we offend the Crown Prince, won't our Xu family suffer?"
"Also, Wanqing said she could ascend to that position. When the time comes, won't she retaliate against us for this?"
Hearing this, Huang Yueping pretended to be afraid, "Then, then Master, will she, will she take my and Yifan's lives in the future?"
Xu Maocai looked tense. He had not thought about this problem before, but now that Huang Yueping mentioned it, he thought it was possible.
"this......."
"Master, please save us mother and son. I know Xu Wanqing is a person who will never give up even for a small grudge. Her mother Zhao Yaru is the same."
Xu Maocai frowned more and more. Huang Yueping was right. Those two people were indeed capable of doing it.
By then, not to mention Huang Yueping and her son, even he might not be let off.
"Master, what do you say we should do? When the time comes, we..."
Xu Maocai waved his hand, looked at her calmly and said, "It's okay. As long as Zhao Yaru is in our hands, she won't be able to cause any trouble."
"Then... the household?"
"Let's talk about it later. Just say Wanyan hasn't handed it back yet. When she leaves, we can decide what to do with her."
"So...will it be okay?"
"It will be fine. You forgot that Wanyu also went. Wanyu is not an ordinary girl. Xu Wanqing may not be her opponent."
Hearing this, Huang Yueping finally let go of her worries and said with a lingering fear, "I will listen to you, Master."
Xu Maocai smiled with satisfaction. As expected, Huang Yueping was obedient and sensible.
However, no matter what, we have to deal with the mother and daughter first, so that they don't cause any serious trouble that could lead to death.
Although Xu Wanqing and Zhao Yaru were not happy when they heard the news, they could only wait for a few days.
"Father, please don't let my mother suffer any injustice this time. Otherwise, I will definitely be unhappy."
Hearing such threatening words, Xu Maocai felt like his lungs were about to explode, but he still had to keep a smile on his face.
"Wanqing, what are you talking about? When has Dad ever lied to you?"
Xu Wanqing nodded with satisfaction. "That's it. I'm going back now and will come back when I have time."
Xu Maocai nodded, "Okay, okay, take good care of the prince and don't make him angry."
"Do I need you to remind me of this? The prince is very kind to me."
After saying that, Xu Wanqing finally left with a twist of her legs.
Zhao Yaru looked at her daughter's back as she walked away, unable to hold back her tears. "How could life in the palace be so easy?"
Xu Maocai looked at her with disdain and snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know that it was you who sent her into the palace."
"So what? It's all for the good of the Xu family."
Xu Maocai didn't want to listen to her, "Go to Mingzhu Garden and stay there."
Zhao Yaru widened her eyes in disbelief, "You, what do you want to do?"
Xu Maocai glared at her and said, "Just let you be the wife of the first wife there."
"You, you put me under house arrest?"
Xu Maocai didn't say anything. Soon two maids came and grabbed her and ran towards Mingzhu Garden.
"Xu Maocai, you, you black-hearted person, how dare you lie to me and Wanqing, you damned bastard, wait until Wanqing comes back..."
"Shut her mouth."
“Wuwuwu…”
With her mouth blocked, Zhao Yaru could only make grunting sounds.
Xu Wanqing stood at the door and glanced around, her eyes showing unconcealed pride.
"Go, wait by the carriage. I want to take a walk myself. This is where I grew up."
"yes!"
After the palace maid left, Xu Wanqing couldn't help but look around.
"Bang!"
