After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Since then, he has not only been despised by others, but also suppressed in the officialdom.

The position of Minister of Revenue, which had been getting closer and closer to him, now suddenly has nothing to do with him.

Cao Hui cursed in his heart, what a bunch of snobs who change their attitude according to the wind.

But what he complained more about was Xiao Qingyan. He originally expected her to help him, but in the end, she failed and failed, which affected his career.

From that day on, Cao Hui never treated Xiao Qingyan well again, and he was like a completely different person.

In the current situation, Xiao Qingyan has no use value to him at all. On the contrary, it will harm him, so why should he bother to manage the relationship with her.

It was because of Xiao Qingyan's status as a princess, otherwise he would definitely find a reason to divorce her to avoid her becoming a burden to him.

Xiao Qingyan naturally noticed such an obvious change in Cao Hui.

The prince consort, who was so gentle and considerate before, has now become extremely cold and indifferent.

If she hadn't still been a princess, Cao Hui might not have even returned to the princess mansion.

Cao Hui's rather sarcastic mother was even more snobbish. She came to the princess's mansion to visit her every few days and was extremely attentive.

Now he doesn't even show his face, and occasionally sends people to deliver things to his son. Even the servants don't have a good look towards Xiao Qingyan.

When had Xiao Qingyan ever suffered such an injustice? She was extremely angry.

But because of her fourth brother's matter, her father was already very dissatisfied with her mother. She couldn't cause more trouble for her mother at this time and could only endure it for the time being.

But unexpectedly, Cao Hui became even worse. One day, after returning to the princess's mansion, he had a big quarrel with her and almost hit her.

"Xiao Qingyan, do your mother and your brother look down on me so much? Are you so blatant as to slap me in the face? What good will it do you if I lose face? Will it make you feel proud? If you look down on me, just say so. You are a princess, I can't do anything, but you can. If you think I am useless, go and ask the emperor for permission to divorce me, and I will not delay you. You don't need to humiliate me like this."

Xiao Qingyan was confused and had no idea what was going on.

He didn't understand why Cao Hui suddenly became like a different person, like an angry lion.

"My dear Prince Consort, what are you talking about? When did I look down on you? What does this have to do with my mother and my fourth brother? Explain yourself clearly. Also, why are you so scary today? You usually don't speak loudly to me. What happened today?"

Cao Hui was too lazy to pretend at this time and directly exposed his true colors.

"Oh, what's wrong with me? Let me tell you, what you see today is the real me. If you hadn't been beneficial to my career, do you think I would marry you, a spoiled waste princess? If it weren't for you to help me Why should I bother to please you when I sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance? My family has no power. Do you know how difficult it is for me to get here? But now because of your good brother, I am also implicated. After working hard for so long, I was about to succeed, and now it’s all over!”

Xiao Qingyan looked at the strange Cao Hui in front of her in surprise, and couldn't believe her eyes.

It turned out that the prince-in-law she and her mother-in-law had chosen was actually such a person, and they all looked away.

Xiao Qingyan said in disbelief: "So your former gentleness, consideration, and understanding were all fake? The fourth brother was framed and became what he is today. No one wanted it. Just because of this, Are you going to fall out with me and quarrel with me like this?"

Cao Hui thought Xiao Qingyan was still pretending to be ignorant, and angrily scolded: "This matter has been going on for some time. I tolerated it a few days ago and didn't make a fuss about it. Who knew you would get worse. Don't pretend here. Now the whole capital has spread that Prince Kang wants to marry Tang Yingqian, the granddaughter of the Minister of Revenue, as his principal wife. Don't say you don't know. I'm trying so hard to sit in the position of Minister of Revenue, but he's getting married to the Tang family? Isn't this a slap in the face of me, his brother-in-law? Let me stop wishful thinking and sit in my position obediently."

Xiao Qingyan finally understood what was going on. Her fourth brother was going to marry Miss Tang? She really had no idea about this.

These days, she didn't go to the palace to visit her mother-in-law and younger brother. She just stayed in her princess's mansion, and she really didn't know anything about these things.

She had never heard of her fourth brother being interested in Miss Tang's family before. Her mother and concubine had very high standards, so logically she should look down on the Tang family.

However, the fourth brother's reputation is not good now. Those ladies from aristocratic families all have high standards and must be unwilling to marry.

Xiao Qingyan had heard before that Miss Tang was enamored with her fourth brother. It was really rare that she was willing to marry her at this time.

In this way, if it is true as Cao Hui said, it is not impossible. After all, Miss Tang seems to be the best candidate at this stage.

However, Cao Hui and Tang Mingzhong are competitors and have never gotten along.

The fourth brother's marriage to the Tang family would indeed displease Cao Hui.

Cao Hui had been fighting secretly with Tang Ming Zhongming in order to sit on the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

Although Cao Hui has no family support, he is the consort of the third princess, and this status is naturally something that ordinary people cannot afford to offend.

Even though Xiao Jingyi had gotten into a scandal now, as long as he was still a prince, he could always turn the tables.

Xiao Jingyi is now married into the Tang family, which obviously means he is on Tang Mingzhong's side. Cao Hui has lost his only supporter.

Although those snobs didn't dare to do anything openly, they secretly didn't know how to mock him.

Cao Hui, who loves face so much, naturally cannot bear such grievances.

Although Xiao Qingyan didn't know what was going on, she knew very well that her mother and her brother did not do this to refute Cao Hui's face.

The fourth brother used to look down on his brother-in-law Cao Hui and felt that he was not worthy of him.

But now he has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he care about these things.

Only when Cao Hui valued himself so much would he feel that others looked down upon him.

Xiao Qingyan saw through Cao Hui completely today. Not only was he good at disguise, but he was also so selfish.

When something happened to his fourth brother, he showed no concern as a brother-in-law, and he only blamed his fourth brother for delaying his future.

Today, he even felt that his fourth brother married into the Tang family just to humiliate him, and that was why he was yelling at her.

After Cao Hui's cold treatment towards her these days, Xiao Qingyan was already a little sad.

Being treated like this again today is completely disheartening.

Xiao Qingyan was also proud of herself, and couldn't help but argue, "My husband, you take yourself too seriously, don't you? I admit that my fourth brother didn't think much of you before, but in his current situation, he has no time to consider you, let alone deliberately slap you in the face. Mother and fourth brother naturally have their own considerations about who to marry, and even I have no right to ask about it. You still want to make decisions here, it's ridiculous."
