"Stand up and talk!" Wei Junhang didn't make it too difficult for her.

The woman immediately made up her mind, said "yes" and stood up, then followed Wei Junhang's gesture and sat down on the chair opposite him, glanced at him quickly and then lowered her eyelids again.

"You want to leave here with me? Are you kidding?" Wei Junhang's voice was steady.

"Yes!" Ruyan said with a sob, her emotions brewing. "Ruyan's parents died, and she had no brothers or sisters to support her, so she went to live with her distant cousin, the second wife. Who would have thought that the second wife was deceived and wanted to send Ruyan to a wealthy businessman as a second wife in exchange for a high betrothal gift. The businessman was over 40 years old, cruel by nature, and had no scruples about sex. He also had several male prostitutes at home, and his previous three wives all died in unclear circumstances. Ruyan refused to give in, and her cousin teamed up with the servants to drug Ruyan in order to destroy Ruyan's innocence and force Ruyan to marry."

At this point, the woman was overwhelmed with grief, and tears fell from her eyes like beads with a broken string. She looked extremely pitiful.

"If I take you away and someone finds out, wouldn't I be charged with abducting a virgin?" Wei Junhang's tone slowed down a little, and the woman could tell that he was ready to give in.

"Ruyan has always heard that the prince is kind-hearted and compassionate, and he will not stand by and watch someone die..."

"Wait!" Wei Junhang suddenly interrupted her, "Although I don't know where you heard these flattering words, but I must tell you honestly that I am not kind and compassionate. Moreover, you did not answer truthfully. What if I am charged with kidnapping because I saved you?"

The woman was stunned.

Why doesn't this person follow the script?

"I, I, I am not from their family. I just came to visit my relatives. I felt it was inconvenient to disturb them, so I left early. I wonder if the prince thinks this explanation is feasible?"

"You should have spoken normally a long time ago. It's really awkward to hear you say your name every time you speak!" Wei Junhang said with a smile.

The woman's mouth twitched.

"I originally came to the banquet alone, but now I have to take someone with me when I leave. I'm afraid I can't avoid making arrangements along the way. What's more, I had an appointment with the shopkeeper of Linglong Pavilion to pay the deposit in an hour. Now that you've delayed me like this, not only have I missed the time, but I'm afraid the set of headgear I liked has already changed hands. The loss..." Wei Junhang shook his head, looking extremely hurt.

The woman bit her lips hard, trying to suppress the urge to hit someone.

She took a deep breath, took out a stack of banknotes from her small bag and placed them in front of Wei Junhang: "Master, take a look at these, are they enough?"

Wei Junhang took a quick glance and saw that the banknotes were of varying amounts, adding up to at least several hundred taels. He grabbed them all and put them in his arms: "In this case, today I, the prince, will do a good deed every day!"

The woman's expression changed several times, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her gnashing of teeth.

Wei Junhang, with his hands behind his back, leisurely led her out of the gate without changing his pace. After walking a long distance, he changed direction and turned into a deep alley on the side.

"Prince..." The woman was about to say that he had taken the wrong road, but she suddenly stopped and said to the alley, "I leave it to you!"

The woman secretly cried out in fear and was about to scream when she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her neck, her vision went black, and she fell to the ground.

The man in black who appeared out of nowhere withdrew his hand gesture and nodded to Wei Junhang. After a moment of hesitation, he saw that the other party did not move, so he could not help but ask: "Where are the banknotes? I need to take them back and give them to the master to check the source in detail."

"Heizi, why are you so ignorant? How can you expect others to spit out the meat you have already put into your mouth?" Wei Junhang replied with a smile.

The man's face changed, and he finally remembered his master's sigh before he left. He took out a large banknote from his pocket helplessly and said, "Then I will exchange this for it, right?"

"That's good enough!" The prince was finally satisfied.

"You used to be a spendthrift, but how come you've become so stingy now? If the Duke and the Grand Princess saw your greedy appearance, they would be so angry!" Heizi muttered something only after the smug Crown Prince left. He picked up the unconscious woman and disappeared into the alley in a few seconds.

Wei Junhang didn't care what others thought of him. He happily walked towards Linglong Pavilion with the small fortune in his arms.

Yesterday, his wife gave him a jade pendant of excellent quality. Today, he has to pick out a set of exquisite head ornaments for her...

At this time, Shen Xinyan had no idea what her husband was planning. She stared coldly at Fang Birong, who was shyly withdrawing from Qi Liuxiu's arms not far away. She couldn't help but sigh that these two people had a deep-seated fate.

Sure enough, whether she was there or not, Fang Birong would still meet Qi Liuxiu and still fall in love with him at first sight.

"Aren't you going out to stop them?" Fu Wan looked at the two men in surprise, and after a moment she asked her friend beside her worriedly.

"Sister, do you think I can really stop it if I go out now?"

Fu Wan thought about it and shook her head gently: "No, if you go out now, you will get yourself into trouble."

Shen Xinyan smiled until the two men left, looking back every few steps, and then she and Fu Wan walked out from behind the tree.

"You have to be careful about this matter. Find a way to remind the Fang family. Although the girl's surname is not Wei, they are still relatives after all. You should avoid bringing trouble to the Duke's Mansion in the future." Before leaving, Fu Wan couldn't help but whispered a warning.

"Don't worry, sister. I know everything." Shen Xinyan felt warm in her heart and comforted her softly.

The moment she got on the carriage, Shen Xinyan's face was already filled with anger, which made Yang, who was in a good mood, subconsciously put down her smile and asked cautiously, "Second sister-in-law, what happened?"

Shen Xin glared at her: "Don't worry, third sister-in-law, it has nothing to do with you."

When Yang heard her say this, she felt relieved immediately.

As long as it has nothing to do with me, I don’t care whether she is annoying or not!

Fang Birong was the last one to get on the bus. She was in a daze and was unaware of the abnormality in the bus. She just greeted the two people and sat down, sitting quietly in a daze.

Shen Xinyan stared at her coldly, seeing the look on her face that was sometimes confused, sometimes shy, and sometimes lost, and she even thought of her daughter's worries without paying attention to anyone else.

At this point, even Yang, who had been planning to stay out of the matter, noticed something was going on. She couldn't help but touch Fang Birong's arm and said, "Sister Fang, did you meet the noble man today?"

Fang Birong came back to her senses immediately. In the blink of an eye, she thought of the time when she was ostracized by the noble ladies in the Prince Kang's mansion. Her nose was sore and she almost shed tears. She replied reluctantly, "I'm a newcomer. How can it be so easy for me to get to know the nobles?"

Shen Xinyan sneered: "The girl didn't meet a noble man, but her expression showed a hint of joy and shyness. Could it be that she met a good man?"

Fang Birong's face flushed instantly, and she panicked, stammering, "Husband, Madam, you are joking. All of us here are women, there is no such thing as a good man!"

Shen Xinyan snorted again, but didn't say anything else. However, this still made Fang Birong frightened. She would secretly glance at her from time to time, wondering if she knew something.

But if you change your mind, your thoughts will move slightly.

Looking at her like this, could it be that she recognizes that young man?

Yang looked back and forth between the two men's faces for a moment, her eyes rolling.

It seems that Miss Fang has indeed met a "good man". Otherwise, with her personality, she would have angrily retorted when Shen asked her about it just now to protect her reputation as a lady-in-waiting. She would not have looked so guilty.

I just don’t know what kind of person the “good man” she met is. Looking at Shen’s reaction, could it be that she recognizes that “good man”?

After a few thoughts, she felt a little excited. It seemed that there would be another good show between Fang and Shen. She should wait and see what happened, so as not to get into trouble.

Having made up her mind, she simply pretended to be a wooden figure.

After entering the mansion, Shen Xinyan got out of the car first in anger and walked directly to the courtyard where Fang was. Fang Birong was frightened and her face changed drastically. She hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after her: "Madam, Madam..."

Yang thought for a moment, pushed away the maid who was trying to help her, and with a smile on her face as if she was enjoying a good show, she also chased after the two men.

"Don't worry, madam. With the young lady's character and appearance, there is no one better in the capital." Fang's personal maid Taozhi saw that she was a little uneasy, obviously worried about her sister who was going to the banquet, so she couldn't help but persuade her.

"That's what you say, but in today's world, people look at family background first when choosing a daughter-in-law. Although Birong is the legitimate daughter of the Marquisate, but..." Fang sighed, "If father had not offended the emperor, our Pingliang Marquisate would not be in this situation!"

"By the way, where's Brother Qi? Has he memorized all the books?"

Taozhi hesitated for a moment and whispered, "The Fourth Young Master is still young after all. If Madam pushes him too hard, it will make him afraid. Isn't that a loss without gain?"

"He is so young. When Lin was his age, he could already recite the Thousand Character Classic by heart!" Fang said in annoyance.

Taozhi immediately fell silent and dared not persuade him any further.

As long as it comes to the fourth son's studies, the lady will not listen to anyone's advice. Although the fourth son is not as smart as the eldest son, he is a very well-behaved and sensible child, and even the eldest princess loves him very much.

Fang's chest rose and fell rapidly, and she tried to suppress her anger for a while. Her son was her lifelong hope, and if she wanted to take back everything that belonged to her in the future, her son must not be worse than Shen's son!

"…Madam, please allow me to go and report to you, Madam, the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince…"

“Get out of the way!”

At this moment, Shen Xinyan angrily opened the curtain and walked in. Fang's face darkened, and she waved her hand to drive away the maid who chased after her and tried to stop her. Then she sneered, "Second brother's wife is so arrogant, is this how your mother taught you to behave?"

"She is not as well educated as the Marquis of Pingliang Mansion. How dare a young lady like her nephew seduce a married man in broad daylight!"

"Mrs. Shen!" Mrs. Fang was furious and slammed the table. "I always give you some leeway, but you think I'm afraid of you! The reputation of our Pingliang Marquis Mansion cannot allow you to do such a thing. Today I must ask my mother to administer justice!"

"Okay, as long as you are not afraid of losing face, let alone asking mother to seek justice, even if you go to heaven to complain, I will accompany you to the end!" Shen Xinyan refused to give in and was more domineering than her.

Fang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Fang Birong who was walking in. Seeing that her face was pale, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that...
