"My lady, it's Young Master Chen the Second!"
"You! You actually!" she exclaimed, covering her mouth and taking a few steps back with an incredulous expression.
The amount of screen time they had was truly astonishing.
Of course, they didn't forget to clarify the identity of the person involved.
Those people quickly took over the conversation.
"So you're the second young master of the Chen family. I wonder how Lord Chen educates his children." He shook his head and sighed after saying that.
"Poor Fifth Prince!"
"The Fifth Prince was deeply in love, but he was kept in the dark. This Miss Wang is still not satisfied even after marrying a prince?"
Wei Wuyan thought to himself, "Isn't that right? Wasn't it just like this in my past life?"
But on the surface, she cried and said, "No, I don't believe it, this isn't true." Then she ran away crying.
Now the group was unsure how to proceed, but after thinking it over, they decided to go with the Fifth Prince. After all, the Empress had sent them to protect the Fifth Prince.
Then these people all left in a flurry.
With reddened eyes, Chen Zhishao tugged at Wang Fengyue's sleeve and said, "Sister Fengyue, what should we do? Will the Fifth Prince order someone to kill me?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Fengyue's damned protective instincts surged again. "Little Shao, don't be afraid, your big sister Fengyue will protect you."
In the main hall.
All the people saw was the Fifth Prince running back crying.
The Queen hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Wu? Tell your father."
But the Fifth Prince just cried and didn't say a word.
At this moment, the husbands also returned, and the queen hurriedly summoned them to ask them questions.
"What happened to Xiao Wu? Tell me!"
The husbands looked at each other, appearing quite troubled, which made the people below anxious and impatient.
"Speak plainly, and I will forgive you."
Then the group slowly began to speak, describing things vividly and engaging the audience with their sentences.
"We were searching for Miss Wang outside the palace with the Fifth Prince when we unexpectedly found her next to a rockery..."
"It was discovered that Miss Wang was hugging and cuddling with the second young master of the Chen family."
"What kind of behavior is this!"
"The Fifth Prince was heartbroken and ran back crying."
Everyone present was astonished; what a magnificent palace drama!
Chen Min was so frightened that she dropped her cup.
This is actually her second son?
It's over, it's over! The Chen family's reputation is ruined!
Lord Wang was also furious at his daughter's lack of ambition, wondering how she could be so disappointing!
How many times have I warned her? Does she have to bring trouble to the royal family before she's satisfied?
Wang Jun didn't care. It was just that his daughter was a bit promiscuous. Why were these people making such a big deal out of nothing? But he also secretly resented the Second Young Master Chen who had seduced his daughter.
When Wang Fengyue and Chen Zhishao returned one after the other, they found that everyone was looking at them in a completely different way.
The Empress said coldly, "Miss Wang, Young Master Chen, don't you have anything to explain to me?"
The two were startled and immediately knelt down.
However, Wang Fengyue did not want to be controlled by others anymore, and he also wanted to protect his younger brother Shao, so he said, "My younger brother Shao and I are truly in love. I hope that Your Majesty and the Fifth Prince will grant us your blessing."
The people present were in an uproar, probably because they didn't expect this person to be so shameless.
They all looked at the Fifth Prince with pity, especially the husbands of each family. After all, what they hated most were men who seduced their wives and always used the name of true love to embarrass their husbands.
After all, a person's reputation is important, and a tree's bark is important. How could the Fifth Prince bear to hear it said in public like this?
What a terrible thing!
Chen's father clenched the handkerchief in his hand tightly. This Chen Zhishao was reckless and even dragged his son into it. He himself was unmarried and went to seduce someone else's wife. How could people think of his Yan'er?
He couldn't help but feel grateful that his Yan'er was already engaged, otherwise she would probably have died of old age at home. However, he was also a little worried that the Sixth Princess might suspect his Yan'er because of this.
Wei Wangqing certainly wouldn't, but she wouldn't be in a good mood either. After all, she knew how harsh the feudal system in ancient times was. What was imposed on women back then was now being returned to men.
So Wei Wangqing didn't expect that the fire would not burn her, but instead burn her fiancé.
Fortunately, as long as she doesn't care, no one dares to say anything.
She glanced at Chen Zhiyan and gave him a reassuring look.
Chen Zhiyan naturally heard her words and couldn't help but think, "Your Highness is so kind."
He must have accumulated a lot of good fortune over many lifetimes to be engaged to His Highness. If it were anyone else, let alone believing and appeasing them, simply not breaking off the engagement would already make them an extremely respectable and trustworthy family.
But thinking of Chen Zhishao, Chen Zhiyan couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted. He had never imagined that his second brother would do such a thing.
Since they are not from the same father, they naturally cannot get along like brothers. It is already good enough that they can remain calm and avoid conflict. They usually just nod to each other.
But I also don't approve of his behavior. Put yourself in his shoes, what if his wife was outside...?
She couldn't bear to think about it; it made her feel suffocated. Thinking about what had happened between her and the princess back then, she glanced at Wei Wangqing.
The Fifth Prince finally stood up. "True love? What then am I?"
"To break up your villains?" Wei Wuyan sneered.
This was also the question he had always wanted to ask in his past life.
Wang Fengyue certainly thought so, but she couldn't say it out loud in front of so many people.
Chen Zhishao spoke up for Wang Fengyue, "Please forgive us, Fifth Prince. It was because I wanted to repay your kindness that I shamelessly approached Sister Fengyue. Please forgive us, Fifth Prince."
He then kowtowed several times with a loud thud.
Wang Fengyue was heartbroken. He had been so foolish to take all the blame upon himself.
"Little brother Shao, don't be like this, get up quickly."
Then, turning to the Fifth Prince angrily, he said, "Do you have to treat us like this? Can't you leave us a way out?"
Every word is a gem, every word is written in tears.
The Fifth Prince was practically clapping his hands in delight; what a spectacular show!
Chen Zhishao didn't forget to point out that he did this to repay a debt of gratitude, showing that he was a young man of great loyalty and righteousness!
No wonder he lost so badly in his past life. Look, with just a few words, he managed to sway everyone around him to his side.
"Did I say anything?" The Fifth Prince blinked his innocent-looking eyes.
"I didn't say anything! Why did this little brother kneel down and beg for mercy? He's kowtowing and all that. People would think I did something to him."
Yes, the people around them then realized that they had all thought the Fifth Prince had gone too far.
Thinking that they had almost been taken advantage of by this man, they felt even more contempt for him. No wonder he was an illegitimate son; he only knew how to use such despicable means and was utterly unworthy of respect.
However, some people inevitably wonder if the eldest son of the Chen family also used such methods to firmly win over the sixth princess.
