His birth mother was only interested in winning favor and would stop at nothing to gain it. She even went so far as to slash Xiao Yuanche's arm to lure the emperor to visit her.
Every time he was injured, it was that wet nurse who took care of him and comforted him.
He had thought that once he came of age and married the princess, he would ask the emperor to give his wet nurse to him in marriage.
Unfortunately, before that day came, the wet nurse suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He wept and begged his mother for help in finding the missing person, knelt in the rain to plead with the emperor, and even humbled himself to beg the crown prince, but no one was willing to help him.
From that day on, the second prince became the number one纨绔 (playboy/spoiled brat) in the Yue Kingdom…
The girl before him, Ru Meng, was a perfect copy of his wet nurse, exactly like the wet nurse in his memory.

Xiao Yuanche thus descended into madness.
He immediately called out the price, "Twenty thousand taels!"
At this moment, a man who was less than 1.4 meters tall and had a small mustache suddenly stood up, looking extremely arrogant.
Thirty thousand taels!
"Don't anyone try to take this from me. I've traveled all over the country and played with all kinds of women, but this is the first time I've seen one this beautiful."
"Hahaha!"
The man with the mustache had a large, protruding belly, almost the same length, width, and height.
Those big yellow teeth, combined with his bald head, were almost unbearable to look at.
