Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

C128 – What Kind of Thoughts Do You Have in Mind

The onlookers knew that Tang Yue was sitting in the carriage, so they didn’t feel like watching a good show. Many of them had received a favor from the medicine shop.

Although there was a small accident on the opening day of the medicine store and its reputation had been damaged, no one believed it after the recent days of operation. Instead, it was because the medicine store’s doctor had excellent medical skills and had a complete collection of herbs. He had a good reputation and a good price.

“Quickly come and take a look, the noble children are killing people…” The perpetrator shouted loudly but refused to leave.

The guards came to ask Tang Yue if he wanted to bring the man back for interrogation. Clearly, someone was trying to ruin Tang Yue’s reputation.

Tang Yue shook his head. “If he didn’t want to leave, he would just knock him out and throw him on the roadside. With these people as witnesses, even if he died, it wouldn’t be our fault.”

“Yes.” As soon as the guard finished speaking, someone immediately knocked the culprit out with a punch. That person whistled and spat. “Who dares to behave atrociously in front of my young master? Bah!”

Tang Yue had forgotten about this small episode when he returned home. However, the next day, when the door opened, he found that the stone lion at the door had been sprayed with dog blood. There were a few large words written on the ground. “Treating people with sex is not a gentleman.”

He hurriedly reported to the butler. By the time Tang Yue found out about this, everything outside had been cleaned up. It was as if nothing had happened.

Yueyang Marquis was so angry that his beard was crooked. He walked around the study room with his hands behind his back. Tang Yue frowned as well. He did not understand that everything was going well. There’s always someone who doesn’t get along with it.

“Was County Princess Tangxi the one who opened the medicine store last time?” There was no wall in the world that could not be exposed. No matter how secretive this matter was, it could not be hidden from everyone.

Tang Yue nodded and asked, “Father felt that she was the one who did it?”

“It looks like a little girl’s means, but since His Highness has already warned her, and even the entire Prefecture Lord’s Mansion, I don’t think she has the guts to continue making things difficult for you.”

Tang Yue shook his head secretly. This was not necessarily the case. A woman who was deeply in love could do anything if she went crazy, let alone a princess who had been spoiled since she was young.

“Send someone to investigate her first. Although it’s just a small matter, there is someone who is eyeing her from behind. It’s always uneasy to secretly touch her.”

Yueyang Marquis did not object, but suggested, “It is best to let His Highness handle this matter. With your identity, you should rashly go against County Princess Tangxi. No matter who is more reasonable, in the eyes of outsiders, you are the one who bullied him.”

That was true, but Tang Yue really didn’t want to bother Crown Prince Zhao with such a trivial matter. It was too much of a fuss.

“It seems like it won’t be so easy for this marriage to proceed smoothly.” Tang Yue mocked himself.

Yueyang Marquis snorted and slammed the table heavily. “The more it is like this, the more we want the wedding to be held in a grand manner so that those lowly people can see it. I, Yueyang Marquis, am not someone to be bullied.”

Moreover, this small matter is really nothing. People with great power and authority. Which one of you hasn’t been framed by gossip and conspiracy? In the future, when you marry into the Crown Prince’s Palace, such things will only happen more and more. “My father is worried that you are too kind and will not be able to subdue those demons and monsters!”

Tang Yue rubbed his nose. He was a modern man who grew up in a peaceful era and was not good at these conspiracies. In the past, when he heard his colleagues in the hospital say that they were scheming against each other, he did not notice it at all.

“Fortunately, His Highness knows your temperament well. He promised my father that he would protect you at all times. He would never do anything that would make things difficult for you.”

“When did it happen?” How come he had never heard of this?

If he didn’t do anything that would make things difficult for him, he didn’t know if this bag didn’t include taking concubines or not having children. Otherwise, it would really make things difficult for him.

Yueyang Marquis glared at him. “His Highness’s feelings for you right now are confirmed by your father. But in the future, your life is still long and your heart can change easily. How you should continue to live will depend on yourself.

But you must remember that no matter what happens, Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion will always be your strong backing. When you marry into the Crown Prince’s Palace, you will not be alone. Instead, you will be bearing the glory of the entire Marquis’s Mansion and have the support of the entire family. Even if you don’t want to live in the Crown Prince’s Palace in the future, you can still come home.”

“…” This was the first time Tang Yue had heard him say such a thing. His nose was slightly sore and his eyes were burning. If his parents could support him unconditionally when he left the cabinet back then, it would not have happened that the relationship between father and son had almost been severed.

He walked over and hugged his father. He sniffed and said in a deep voice, “Father, don’t worry. Even if it is for this family, I will live a good life.”

As long as he still had what Crown Prince Zhao wanted, he could reach an agreement with him in another way even if he had no feelings for him.

If he really didn’t want to maintain this relationship in the future, he definitely wouldn’t do anything that would hurt himself.

At the same time, in the Crown Prince’s Palace, Crown Prince Zhao was reading a document when he heard the hurried footsteps of the housekeeper.

“Your Highness, there is news from Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion. Do you want to hear it?”

Crown Prince Zhao suddenly raised his head and stared straight at the butler. “Speak!”

The butler’s entire body trembled as he lowered his head to repeat what had happened. “Currently, there is still no movement in Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion. I wonder how the old duke will make his decision.”

Crown Prince Zhao suspected County Princess Tangxi at the first possible moment. “Send someone to investigate County Princess Tangxi’s whereabouts recently. At the same time, clean up the people around her. Don’t leave any of them behind. Send a few more trustworthy people over. Not only her, but also Old Prince.”

If a lady wanted to do something bad, she definitely wouldn’t do it herself. From setting up a trap to finding someone to do it. It would be much easier to investigate if she had to go through the hands of several people.

“Does this make Old Prince suspicious?”

Crown Prince Zhao sneered and pushed the memorial away. “Do you think that I still have a chance to live in harmony with him?”

From the moment the other party broke off the engagement to his forceful refusal to get back together, the two families had completely fallen out with each other. He really did not need to worry too much.

“Yes.” The other party received the order and left. Crown Prince Zhao was stunned for a while before he continued to look at the memorial on the table.

He pondered for a moment, picked up a pen and wrote a sentence, then ordered someone to deliver the memorial to the Palace.

He changed into a dark black robe, his hair stood up meticulously, and walked out of the door with a serious expression.

He walked out of the house all the way. Before he boarded the carriage, he turned around and ordered people to invite Loyal and Brave Marquis over. “The layout of the hall is not festive enough. Order people to go to the southwest to find some red flowers and plant them. Put more in the pots in the hall and add a few more pots in the new room.”

“This season…” The housekeeper was a little troubled. Where could he find red flowers in the winter?

“If not, the plum blossoms are fine too. On the road from the hall to the new house, both sides have been planted with plum trees. When it snows, drinking tea to admire the plum blossoms is also not bad.”

“…” The butler had a black line hanging on his head, but he still answered very seriously. He only sighed in his heart: In the past 14 years, he had never seen his master in such a romantic manner, what tea and admiring the plum blossoms, what festive arrangements. These were really not Crown Prince’s style.

Now, he was actually putting in so much effort for the sake of the Tang family’s young man. It could be seen how sincere he was. The butler silently praised Tang Yue in his heart.

Zhang Chun hurriedly ran to the door. He wore a rabbit fur hat, a fur fox fur coat, and thick sheepskin boots. He rolled out like a ball.

“It’s so damn cold. How can it be so cold in the south winter?”

Wang Dingjun followed closely behind him. He saw how hard he rolled and pushed him from time to time. He did not listen to his complaints.

He really could not understand why the weather was so cold. If he had not pulled him out forcefully, this kid could have stayed in bed all the time and could not get up.

Did he turn into a pig?

“Hey, how are you, Your Highness? Why did you think of me when you went back to look for Tang Yue?” It was really hard to come by. Zhang Chun snorted in his heart.

“I heard that Loyal and Brave Marquis has been attending a lot of classes recently. He must be too bored to accompany Yue.”

Crown Prince Zhao naturally didn’t want these two to interact too much. However, today’s situation was special. With a friend that Tang Yue could chat with, he might be able to recover faster.

As for where Crown Prince found out that Zhang Chun was a friend that Tang Yue could chat with, he didn’t know.

“Is there such a thing? Why don’t I know?” Zhang Chun asked righteously.

Wang Dingjun bowed to Crown Prince Zhao and then gave a full report of Zhang Chun’s recent situation. He did not even skip a few trips to the toilet in a day.

Zhang Chun rolled his eyes when he heard that. He secretly thought of a villain in his heart. Then, he ran to the carriage at the back and sat down.

If he wasn’t unfamiliar with this place, he really wanted to move out.

The poor young duke did not know that the moment he moved into the Crown Prince’s Palace, his freedom was already out of his control.
