"Princess, slow down."
Xu Wanyan shook her head, "I'm fine."
Today is the day to visit her parents-in-law, and Xu Wanyan got up early in the morning to prepare.
However, Xiao Jingming disappeared early in the morning.
However, she didn't find it strange. Since ancient times, how many people in the royal family would go to their parents-in-law's house to pay their respects, unless the woman's status was particularly high.
What's more, she went back to Xu's house just to get by.
Even if Xiao Jingming didn't go, she didn't think it was a big deal.
"Princess, the prince is already there."
Qiao Yun's words were full of surprise. She was really afraid that her young lady would be laughed at today.
Fortunately, the prince has the princess in his heart.
Xu Wanyan smiled and walked over quickly.
"Don't worry, it's still early."
Xu Wanyan laughed sweetly, "Aren't you afraid of making you wait anxiously?"
Xiao Jingming took her hand and said, "I'll come over early to make some arrangements. You can sleep a little longer."
Xu Wanyan's cheeks flushed slightly as she got into the carriage.
Xiao Jingming laughed and followed him in.
Qiao Yun smiled secretly and sat aside. Now that the weather was warmer, it was quite comfortable to sit in the carriage and enjoy the breeze.
When I returned to Xu's house, Xu Maocai was already waiting at the door.
Xu Wanyan didn't see Huang Yueping's heart sinking, "Father."
"father in law."
Xu Maocai smiled widely, "Prince, Wanyan, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, come in quickly."
"By the way, father, where's mother?"
Xu Maocai paused for a moment before realizing she was talking about Huang Yueping, and he stammered, "Yueping, Yueping..."
"Is it because father saw that my sister was with the Crown Prince that he thought she could become the Crown Princess in the future? So, he gave the position of mistress of the house to Aunt Zhao again?"
Xu Wanyan's words were merciless, and Xu Maocai felt embarrassed.
After a long while, he said in embarrassment, "Wanyan, you don't know. Wanqing is deeply loved by the Crown Prince. Who can predict what will happen in the future?"
"If Dad doesn't listen to her, I'm worried that if she gains power in the future, our Xu family will suffer."
Looking at his bitter and resentful look, Xu Wanyan sneered.
"Father, have you concluded that Yifan will not be as successful as her in the future?"
When Xu Maocai mentioned his son, his expression brightened considerably. "How could that be? How can she compare to Yifan? Yifan is incredibly talented and much more cautious in his work, unlike her at all?"
"What about the household?"
Xu Maocai shook his head. "The household expenses are still in Yueping's hands. However, Wanqing has given me an order. If I don't solve it, she will make me suffer. Dad is in a very difficult situation."
Xu Wanyan snorted coldly: "Father, the emperor governs the world with filial piety. If Xu Wanqing dares to use this against you, you can report it to the emperor."
Xu Maocai was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Wanyan to actually bring this matter to the emperor.
Even though Wanqing had done something excessive, she was still a member of the Xu family. How could he report her to the emperor?
Thinking of this, Xu Maocai looked at Xu Wanyan with a bit more dissatisfaction.
Xu Wanyan didn't care and glanced at him lightly.
"Master Xu, if the emperor knew that the head of the Xu family was always changing, I think he would ask about it."
When Xiao Jingming said this, Xu Maocai broke out in a cold sweat.
He also knew that these facts about himself were shameful.
"Wanyan, Prince, don't worry about this matter. I will definitely take care of it."
After hearing what he said, Xu Wanyan didn't say anything else and went straight to find Huang Yueping.
Xiao Jingming followed Xu Maocai to the study.

"Are they back?"
Zhao Yaru sat at the table drinking tea with an arrogant look on her face.
"Madam, they are back. The prince personally brought the second young lady back to the palace."
"Bang!"
"Why? Why is Xu Wanyan more prosperous than my Wanqing? What's going on with this Xiao Jingming? Why is he so special to this bitch?"
Seeing Zhao Yaru's furious look, Mother Gu sighed inwardly, "Madam, Prince Chen may be doing this for the sake of the eldest lady."
Hearing this, Zhao Yaru's expression immediately brightened. "You're right, it must be like this. Otherwise, how could Prince Chen, who has such a bad reputation, accompany her back to the palace?"
Mother Gu nodded. "Madam is right. However, after all, you are the head of this family. You should have... stepped forward just now."
After saying that, she looked at Zhao Yaru cautiously, afraid that she would be angry.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yaru didn't care and chuckled, "Who the hell is she? Why would I go to greet her? My Wanqing didn't even have a return visit, why should I let her have dignity?"
"But, that is King Chen after all..."
"So what? What about Prince Chen? Can he compare to the Crown Prince? I am now the Crown Prince's mother-in-law. Isn't it against the rules to ask the Crown Prince's mother-in-law to go and greet him?"
Mother Gu didn't say anything. She had long been accustomed to the lady's complacent attitude since the eldest daughter came back.
Thinking of this, she sighed and walked out.
Unexpectedly, Xichun ran in as soon as Mother Gu left.
"Madam, the master wants you to go meet Prince Chen and Princess Chen."
"Why?"
Zhao Yaru became famous immediately.
"They actually let me meet them. Am I not their elder?"
Xichun didn't dare to respond and could only say, "Madam, the master said that we should be king and subject first, and family second."
Hearing this, Zhao Yaru became even more furious.
But, right now, there is really no other way but to move on.
Xu Wanyan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the calm Huang Yueping.
"Aunt Huang, it's all my fault. I was the one who got you involved."
Huang Yueping chuckled, "Wanyan, don't think too much. I came to the Xu family not just for you, but also to avenge Yifan and me."
She sighed, "I used to think I could raise Yifan into an outstanding pillar of society by myself, but, in reality, I also understand that the descendants of aristocratic families have more opportunities. Rather than letting my son struggle in the mud, it's better for me, as a mother, to make a sacrifice."
"Aunt Huang..."
"Also, Zhao Yaru persecuted me back then. I must personally avenge her to be worthy of myself."
Then, she took Xu Wanyan's hand and said seriously, "Wanyan, leave Zhao Yaru to me. I will avenge this."
"May I?"
Huang Yueping nodded firmly, "I can."
"Okay, I believe you. Then I'll leave her to you."
Huang Yueping nodded, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
"Is the prince good to you?"
When mentioning Xiao Jingming, Xu Wanyan blushed shyly.
Huang Yueping smiled relievedly upon seeing this, "I feel relieved that he treats you well, and your mother can feel relieved too."
Xu Wanyan nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that my mother can't see it."
"It's okay. When we have our revenge, we will go and pay tribute to her."
"good!"
