punish us, Lord!" Lei and Tian, the two protectors, knew they couldn't escape, so they simply asked for punishment.Feng Yan'ni, fearing that Xiao Yu Ge would really punish the two of them, quickly st..."How do you know that this palace wouldn't..." Qian Si Chen was a little agitated. No matter what, this was a human life, and it was his first child. Even if he didn't love her, he hadn't thought about harming an innocent child's life: "Forget it, you should rest well and take care of your injuries first!"

He left quietly, but as soon as he reached the door, he heard her muffled sobs coming from inside. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then strode out.

"The dignified Prince's Mansion actually allowed assassins to sneak in! What use are you all to me" Qian Sichin's face was ashen, staring at the guards kneeling on the ground, her eyes burning with fury.

All the guards, including Ling Tian, knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Search! Go search immediately, if you can't find anything, all of you come to see me!" Qian Si Chen kicked the chair in front of him with his foot, but it caused pain to his injury. He instinctively covered his chest, blood seeping from between his fingers!

"Your Highness!" Ling Tian hurriedly got up and supported him. "Quickly send the imperial physician here!"

Somewhere outside the city.

"Is this the second dowry you were talking about"

Xiao Yuge gazed at the luxurious villa before her, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. She had thought her own prince's mansion was already magnificent, but she hadn't expected him to have another such splendid residence outside the palace.

"Here, there are countless property deeds and land titles, all transferred into your name. Now, I hand them all over to you for safekeeping."

"All of this is mine" Xiao Yu Ge looked at the thick stack of property deeds in front of her, feeling a little unreal. So much, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was enough to rival a country's wealth. No wonder he said when he gave her the jade pendant that she could take whatever she wanted. Could it be that all the money lenders and banks in this capital city belonged to him He even added her name to them. Could it be that he had already made arrangements for this

"What's wrong Little Xia Cai, didn't you used to say that you wanted to make a lot of money You have it now, why are you like this" Qian Tingxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw her cute and innocent expression.

"I, I did say so, but this is too much, you sure you gave me everything" Xiao Yuge blinked her beautiful eyes, seeming a little disbelieving.

Qianting Xuan laughed heartily, "You silly girl, since I belong to you, everything of mine naturally belongs to you too." Even if he were gone someday, she could do whatever she wanted without any worries.

"Qian Tingxuan, you are so amazing!" Xiao Yuge jumped up and hugged his neck, planting a big kiss on his face. Then she laughed and spun around: "Now I'm a little rich girl!"

"Little treasure." Qian Tingxuan touched his cheek where she had kissed him, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curling up. His heart felt as sweet as honey. He took her hand and walked inside, "Come on, I'll take you for a stroll."

On the way back to town, Xiao Yuge sat in the carriage and stared at Qian Tingxuan for half a quarter of an hour. Her brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"What's wrong" Qian Tingxuan reached out and rubbed her hair. This little girl had been this surprised all day. He hadn't even shown his full potential yet. If he did, wouldn't she be even more surprised

"Qian Tingxuan, how many secrets are there left on you" Xiao Yuge stared at him intently. She had known this man wasn't as simple as he seemed, but she hadn't expected him to have so many secrets.

"Well, there's a little more to it, but you'll find out soon enough." Qiantingxuan deliberately teased her. To be honest, he was a bit afraid of her knowing about his other identity.

“Then tell me quickly, I can't wait to know!” Xiao Yuge rubbed her hands together, her face full of anticipation.

"It's your wedding night." Qian Tingxuan tapped her head lightly.

Xiao Yu Ge's smile vanished from her face immediately: "What secret has to wait until the wedding night to be told Are you afraid I'll back out"

"Yeah, I was afraid you'd change your mind."

"What's what, if I back out, would I still have a wedding with you" Xiao Yuge curled her lips and jumped out of the carriage: "It's okay if you don't say it, anyway, I don't want to know." Who doesn't have one or two secrets She does too, and she still doesn't know how to tell him.

"Angry" Qian Tingxuan also jumped off the carriage and chased after her.

"No, I'm not angry. If you want to tell me about it, then tell me. If you don't want to, then don't say anything. Anyway, I married you. As long as you are a real person, that's all that matters."

“Of course I mean it.” Seeing that she wasn’t angry, Qian Tingxuan's heart sank. No matter what, he had to coax her into marriage first. He couldn't let her have an excuse to escape anymore.

"Something seems to have happened over there. Let's go take a look." Xiao Yuge saw that it was still early, so she decided to walk back to the city with him. Anyway, there wasn't anything else to do, and it would be nice to stroll around with him.

When they got closer, they saw a man was aggressively accusing a woman. Upon inquiry, they learned that the two were childhood sweethearts who had been in love since they were young. However, it seemed that the man had taken advantage of the woman before marriage. Now, the woman's family demanded that the man marry her with a grand ceremony and carry her on an eight-palanquin procession. But the man's family felt that the woman was already theirs, so they refused to spend that money. As a result, the two families started arguing over this matter.

"Brother Azhu, we agreed on this. Why would you go back on your word"

"Humph," the man sneered, "A-Mei, then was then, now is now. You're part of our family now. Isn't the money all ours Besides, we've been together for so long, and your belly still shows no sign of movement. My mother said that with your small frame, you probably won't be able to bear children easily. So, we need to keep some money aside to take a concubine later and give our family a heir!"

Hearing this, people were enraged. This legal wife hadn't even entered the household yet and was already thinking about taking a concubine

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears and wailed: "Brother Zhu, how could you do this You once told me that in this life, you would only marry me and never take concubines. It was because of your promise that I agreed to be with you... How could you..." The woman was overwhelmed with shame.

“Isn’t it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines Why are you crying Didn't you get the position of the main wife This pomp can be avoided if possible. After all, we are all family.” The man seemed impatient. Indeed, when he got what he wanted, he knew how to cherish it.

"But you were the one who said you wanted to carry me over the threshold in a palanquin with eight bearers, a proper marriage under the sun! How can you just go back on your word now" The woman's eyes welled up with tears, but they failed to evoke any pity from the man.

The man let out a cold snort and glanced at the woman. "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already slept in the same room as me. Who knows who else you've done the same thing with A grand procession, carrying a virtuous young lady, a legitimate marriage, marrying a well-behaved and virtuous woman, paying a hefty dowry, marrying a pure maiden—which one of these do you possess You still want me to marry you in a grand ceremony Dream on!"received by Xiao Yufu. She was the chosen one for the Crown Prince, a woman of heavenly fate and good fortune. Could he dare defy her That was tantamount to treason, a capital offense!"You plotted aga...
