Chen Min couldn't understand why her son had turned out this way.
She glanced at Chen Zhiyan and saw that he was still very composed, which put her mind at ease. The two of them were different. Zhiyan was someone she had wholeheartedly taught, unlike Shao'er.
Therefore, she could only blame Lan Shijun for not teaching her well.
Ah! People are always used to shifting the blame onto others.
The Fifth Prince then said, "But it's not impossible for me to grant your request. After all, this younger brother's reputation is already ruined, and you, my wife, still have to take responsibility for that."
Wang Fengyue suddenly felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and it seemed that the Fifth Prince was not so heartless after all.
But Chen Zhishao had a bad feeling.
really.
The Fifth Prince said, "This younger brother can only enter the palace in a small sedan chair as a servant."
When Chen Zhishao turned to look at Wang Fengyue, who was genuinely considering the feasibility of the matter, her heart sank.
The difference between this little servant and a courtier, a noble lord, or a concubine is not small. Although he is a son of a concubine and cannot be the legitimate ruler, his status is still considered a good match. He could easily become a noble lord or a concubine. At least, at least his father was a courtier!
After much deliberation, Wang Fengyue decided that she could only let Shao's brother suffer, but it was alright, she would make it up to him in the future.
then.
"good."
Chen Zhishao looked at Wang Fengyue in disbelief.
Wang Fengyue dared not look back, pretending not to see.
The Fifth Prince then turned to Chen Min, "Lord Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Zhishao's hope was rekindled. Yes, there was still his mother. His mother would definitely help him. Otherwise, if he married into the family like this, it would be a disgrace to the Chen family!
Chen Min smiled as she looked at her second son's hopeful eyes.
Now I think of the Chen family, and I think of him as the face of the Chen family!
There's no such thing as a free lunch. They only think of the Chen family when they need them, and then trample on them when they don't.
"Your Highness has gone to great lengths to look after my good-for-nothing son."
The Fifth Prince smiled, which meant he agreed.
As the Empress Dowager said, in this situation, Lord Chen would only sacrifice his illegitimate son to save face for the Chen family, after all, he still has another son.
Chen Zhishao was truly desperate now.
It's true that he likes Wang Fengyue, otherwise he wouldn't have been secretly seeing her, but social status is also a very important factor!
Having lived in the mansion since childhood, he knew better than anyone what it felt like to be born lowly. He couldn't let his future children suffer the same fate as him!
"Sister Fengyue, please plead with the Fifth Prince. I can't just be a lowly servant. Even if it's just to serve the Emperor, that would be fine." Chen Zhishao lowered her head.
Wang Fengyue also felt a little sorry for him. "Cousin, look."
The Fifth Prince thought, "How could there be such a good thing? Running off to serve someone, don't you know that?"
"If this younger brother is unwilling, that's fine too; he can simply not marry into my royal family."
How could Wang Fengyue allow his beloved to marry someone else? "How could this be?"
"Then let's see what this younger brother thinks." Does he really think he, the Fifth Prince, runs a charitable institution, letting people in and out as they please?
Chen Zhishao had nowhere to retreat. He was already in a situation with Wang Fengyue, so it was impossible for him to marry anyone else, and no one would marry him. The Fifth Prince had taken this for granted.
Chen Zhishao had no choice but to stare intently at the Fifth Prince and say, word by word, "Zhishao agrees."
This well-intentioned New Year's Eve banquet ultimately fell apart.
After leaving, Wei Wangqing couldn't help but feel that the palace was truly terrifying, harboring so much filth!
She didn't doubt the Fifth Prince. After all, he had liked Wang Fengyue so much before, so it wasn't surprising that he changed a bit after being stimulated. Besides, the Fifth Prince should have grown up by now.
Phoenix Palace.
"Xiao Wu, are you satisfied with this scene?"
"I am extremely satisfied, Father," Wei Wuyan said with a smile.
Looking at Wang Fengyue's humiliating and Chen Zhishao's submissive appearance, Wei Wuyan found it extremely funny, but as he laughed, tears welled up in his eyes.
The Empress pulled Wei Wuyan close, saying, "Little Wu, cry, your father is here." She patted Wei Wuyan's back as she spoke.
Wei Wuyan burst into tears. Since his rebirth, he had been on edge, and now he realized that things were really different from his previous life.
He really changed.
In his previous life, Chen Zhishao was married into Wang Fengyue's household as a concubine, not now. Back then, he was already being tormented in the backyard and was powerless to stop it.
The Empress Dowager passed away, the Sixth Princess ascended the throne, and Chen Zhiyan became Empress. No one cared about his life or death, and Chen Zhishao's status rose with the rise of the Chen family.
But now, before anything has even begun, Chen Zhishao has already become a pawn. He can never get back up and will never be able to overpower him. Instead, he will live in his shadow for the rest of his life.
Once he enters the manor, he will show Chen Zhishao what true wickedness is!
Seeing that Wei Wuyan had calmed down, the Queen said, "Xiao Wu, why don't you leave the Wang family? Your father will help you get a divorce." He felt really sorry for Xiao Wuyan looking like this.
Divorce? The Fifth Prince was taken aback. He had never considered this idea, at least not now.
Not now, they're not dead yet, he hasn't had a chance to properly torment them, how can he leave?
Moreover, the Empress Dowager would probably not allow it, since she values the royal family's reputation above all else. How could she allow a married prince to divorce his wife's family?
Of course, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, today's events were probably nothing more than a trivial matter—a woman's scandalous affair being exposed. The only thing that might anger her was that the woman's husband was her son.
