"Wen Chenxuan, are you telling the truth?"
"Silly boy, of course it's true. Don't you understand how I feel about you?"
Chu Ranxin curled the corners of his lips and hugged the Crown Prince tightly.
"That's what you said. I don't care. I won't let you get close to any other woman except me..."
After a few perfunctory words, the two went back to their room to rest.
Chu Ranxin did not forget what her father had told her. She was very clear that their mansion would prosper together and suffer together.
After serving Wen Chenxuan, she lay in his arms, breathing heavily, her face flushed, and gently drew circles on his body.
"Your Highness, I heard that there was a list recently with my father's name on it, but I've already married you, how could my father commit treason? Why don't you remove him from the list!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Chenxuan's face changed instantly, and he pulled Chu Ranxin's hand off with force.
"This is a national event. What do you, a woman, know? Don't worry about these things. I know what to do. Besides, your father might have committed the crime of treason. How could he let you know? In short, everyone on the list must be thoroughly investigated. Do you understand?"
After a moment of silence, Chu Ranxin's face showed intense anger.
I originally thought that if I had served Wen Chenxuan well, he would show leniency, but he actually didn't even listen to me.
Chu Ranxin, with a bit of anger, pushed Wen Chenxuan away and slept with his back facing him.
Wen Chenxuan was not willing to admit defeat. He was already angry enough in the court, as Wen Jingchi opposed him everywhere. When he returned home, he had to endure the anger of a woman. Naturally, he could not bear it.
He immediately got out of bed and favored Sun Weiwei that night.
The next morning, before Chu Ranxin had time to get up, he heard the maid coming to report in a hurry.
"My Lady Concubine, your father is here and wants to discuss something important with you."
Chu Ranxin naturally knew why he came to see him, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He didn't know how to explain to his father for a moment.
At this moment, the Marquis came in.
Seeing Chu Ranxin standing there at a loss, he immediately glanced at the girl next to him.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave. We have something to discuss between father and daughter."
The girls left tactfully, leaving only the two of them.
The Marquis grabbed Chu Ranxin's arm and said, "What happened? Have you told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Is he willing to let us go?"
Chu Ranxin sighed depressedly, "I've already told him, who knew this bastard would be so unkind. I think we have to think of other ways. He wants to investigate thoroughly and says that he won't let anyone on the list go."
The Marquis lost his balance and almost fell to the ground, sighing in frustration.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed very skilled and ruthless!"
If I don't obey him, I'm afraid I will die.
Even now, he has already taken action against himself, not to mention the future.
If Wen Jingchi had not ascended the throne, his fate would have been extremely miserable.
The key point is that compared with Wen Jingchi, Wen Chenxuan is not a human being at all.
He who knows the times is a hero. If Wen Jingchi seizes the throne in the future, he will be given a break for Chu Weiyue's sake, and their Marquis' Mansion can still be glorious and honorable.
Thinking of this, the Marquis immediately made up his mind.
"Take me to see Wen Chenxuan now. I have something important to discuss with him."
Although Chu Ranxin didn't understand, he still listened to his father and took him to Wen Chenxuan's study.
Wen Chenxuan was now reviewing some memorials. When he noticed the Marquis coming over, the corners of his lips slightly raised for a moment.
His father pulled Chu Ranxin's arm, and Chu Ranxin tactfully put the tea and snacks on the table.
"Your Highness, please take your time to talk. I will leave first."
As soon as Chu Ranxin left, the Marquis' knees softened and he knelt directly in front of Wen Chenxuan.
Wen Chenxuan did not help him up, but instead sneered in a sarcastic manner.
"My Lord, you are still my elder, my father-in-law. Why are you kneeling down to me? How can I bear this?"
"Wen Chenxuan can certainly bear it! You are the current Wen Chenxuan, the future emperor, and you are so honored. It is my honor to be able to serve you like a dog and a horse. I hope Wen Chenxuan will give me a chance."
Upon hearing this, Wen Chenxuan cast a cold gaze on him.
"Two days ago, Ben Chenxuan came to your house to discuss me. I remember your attitude was not like this at that time. How come it changed in just a few days? Or do you have something to do with Wen Jingchi and want to turn the tables on Ben Chenxuan, or come to spy on military intelligence?"
"Your Highness, there is no such thing. I guarantee it with my head."
The Marquis raised his finger and tried to make a vicious oath.
Wen Chenxuan slammed the table hard, "Enough, don't say these things to Wen Chenxuan. Wen Chenxuan is not a child and doesn't want to listen to your childish words. Now you should just go back to your mansion obediently.
"I will send someone to protect you. Before the matter is investigated, I hope you will stay at home and not go anywhere."
His voice was very calm and composed, which clearly told him that he was now under house arrest.
The Marquis was instantly furious and could no longer sit still. He slammed the table in front of Wen Chenxuan and pointed at his nose and shouted angrily.
"You've gone too far. How dare you treat me like this? I'm your father-in-law after all. Why do you doubt me?"
"I'm Wen Chenxuan. I certainly have the right to doubt anyone. Do you want to go back by yourself or do you want me to ask you to go back?"
His words became more intense and his eyes were filled with anger. He could no longer bear the provocation from the Marquis.
When Chu Ranxin heard the argument, he immediately ran over from outside and grabbed his father.
"Dad, what are you doing? How can you argue with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Go back quickly, we can talk about it later."
Fearing that their conflict would intensify, she could only push the Marquis and force him to leave.
Although the Marquis was extremely reluctant, he still turned around and left.
Watching his leaving back, Chu Ranxin breathed a long sigh of relief.
But even so, Wen Chenxuan still sent his men back to the mansion with the marquis and put him under house arrest in disguise.
Chu Ranxin looked at Wen Chenxuan painfully, "Your Highness, didn't you say that you would let my father go for my sake? My father must have been wronged in this matter..."
Wen Chenxuan immediately walked over and hugged Chu Ranxin's shoulders.
"You fool, how could you not know my painstaking efforts? Don't forget that your father doesn't value you at home. He is completely focused on Chu Weiyue. Do you still expect him to treat you well in the future?
You might as well take this opportunity to ask him for the eight thousand men he has, all of whom are near the palace."
