Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The eldest prince's words were more piercing than a sword. Li Wanyu could not bear it and collapsed to the ground. Her face was pale and she was about to collapse. She tried to argue a few more times, but when she met his undisguised look of disgust, she broke down and cried, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again..."

Finally hearing her admit it, the eldest prince did not feel happy at all. On the contrary, he felt a pang of pain in his heart, "You were wrong? What's the use of knowing you were wrong now? It's too late, too late. My Jin'er will never come back. Li Wanyu, you really deserve to die..."

There was a burning hatred in his eyes, and his usually gentle and handsome face was now distorted like a different person.

Li Wanyu felt scared. She shook her head in panic and dodged backwards subconsciously. The eldest prince looked as if he would pounce on her and strangle her to death at any moment. She didn't want to die yet. "Your Highness, I really know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? Please..."

The eldest prince was filled with remorse at this moment, and asked sternly, "I gave you a chance, so who will give Jin'er another chance?"

"Your Highness, Jin'er was killed by the bandits. It was not arranged by me. I can swear it!"

"Oh, if it's not you, then it's your good brother, or your good father? After all, they are your family. They did that for you, didn't they? Li Wanyu, you are the culprit!"

He himself was one of the murderers. His incompetence and connivance allowed them to act so recklessly. Afterwards, he even avoided going to the place where the accident happened to look for Jin'er in person, and failed to get justice for him. What if Dingyuan Hou didn't find any clues? If you are not stupid, you will know whose interests Jin'er hindered. Who else could it be except Changle Houfu?

He could ask his father to make the decision for his Jin'er. His father didn't like him, but he still loved Jin'er. It was him, he was weak, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble. He felt that the matter was irreversible, so he endured it. As his biological father, he didn't stand up for his son, so his father must be extremely disappointed, so how could he care anymore?

He was wrong, very wrong.

As he thought of this, his heart suddenly began to stir, his vision went dark, and he opened his mouth and spat out blood.

Li Wanyu was so frightened that her face turned pale, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she screamed, "Ah, Your Highness, you, you vomited blood..."

She shouted in panic and rushed towards him subconsciously.

The eldest prince kicked him away without mercy, "Get lost!"

"Your Highness!" Li Wanyu didn't expect him to attack. An honest man usually looks easy to bully, but once he gets angry, he is more terrifying than a violent person. She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. She could only apologize and beg for mercy, "Your Highness, you can't do this to me. I am your prince's consort, your first wife..."

Hearing this, the eldest prince gave a sneer, "What do you mean by married? What do you mean by first wife? Have you forgotten how you entered the palace? You were just a concubine promoted to the first wife. When did I marry you? And when did I marry you first? The only wife I married formally and worshipped by heaven and earth is Huilan."

"Your Highness!" These words destroyed the pride that Li Wanyu had built up over the past few years. She screamed, "No, I am also your legal wife. I am listed in the royal jade disc. You cannot deny it!"

The eldest prince raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his body swayed. "I was bewildered at the time. No, I just thought it was troublesome. Huilan is gone, and it is meaningless to me who will be the prince's consort. I am too lazy to marry another one, so I made you my wife. Otherwise, you are stupid and vicious, how can you be qualified to be the prince's consort?"

"No, that's not the case, Your Highness. Don't you have any affection for me?"

"No, in my heart, there is only Huilan from beginning to end!"

He said it without hesitation and in a decisive tone. The way he looked at her was like looking at a stranger. Not to mention affection, it was filled with only disgust and hatred that he wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Li Wanyu was hit hard, her face pale, she murmured absentmindedly, "No, no, you are lying, you didn't say that before, you praised me as beautiful as a crabapple flower..."

The eldest prince mocked, "You believe me when I try to trick you?"

"No, I don't believe it. You must hate me, so you lied to me, right?"

"Whatever you think, from now on, you will stay in this courtyard to atone for your sins, and you are not allowed to take even a single step out of here."

The eldest prince said this coldly, not wanting to see her face again, so he turned and left.

Li Wanyu rushed over, tightly grasped his robe, and cried and begged, "Your Highness, you can't treat me like this. You can hate me, but for You'er's sake, please forgive me this time. You'er is still young, he can't be without a mother..."

The eldest prince kicked her away again and said expressionlessly, "It is his misfortune to have a mother like you. If you raise him, sooner or later he will become as stupid and vicious as you. I will discipline him strictly in the future. You just stay here and copy scriptures and chant Buddha's name every day to atone for your sins."

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

No matter how heart-wrenchingly she screamed, the eldest prince never turned his head and left resolutely.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

After the shrill and desperate scream, there was a sound of shattering. Outside the house, the maids and old women looked at each other and trembled together.

They couldn't hear what the two said, but when they saw the eldest prince's expression when he came out, they had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, things got out of hand.

The eldest prince's wife was under house arrest. No, it was even more serious than house arrest. She would be locked up for life. Even they had lost their freedom.

The moment the yard was locked, everyone felt like the sky had fallen.

How did it get to this point?

The two of them never quarreled. To be precise, the eldest prince had a good temper and had never had a quarrel with anyone. Who would have thought that once they quarreled, it would be so serious.

If I had known this would happen, who would have dared not take the eldest prince seriously?

Not to mention the maids and old women who came as dowry from the Changle Marquis' Mansion, even the eunuchs and guards who had followed the eldest prince for many years were secretly surprised. It was as if they had gotten to know the eldest prince all over again, and each of them had mixed feelings.

Is this finally breaking out in silence?

It’s just that this outbreak was violent enough, but it was a little late. It would have been better if it had happened two years earlier. Why did it come to this?

Back in the study room in the front yard, the personal eunuch Wu Zhong served tea and said cautiously, "Your Highness, if the Marquis of Changle knew about your treatment of the prince's wife today, I'm afraid they would not be able to accept it..."

Hearing this, the eldest prince took a sip of tea and asked without any emotion, "So what if I can't accept it? As a prince, do I need to be afraid of a minister? As for Li Wanyu, no matter what her identity was before, she is my woman after entering the mansion. Do I need to explain to others how I deal with her?"

Wu Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he said subconsciously, "Of course not, I am, yes..."

It's because I'm afraid that you'll be scared and unable to withstand the questioning and pressure from the Changle Marquis' Mansion.

The eldest prince laughed at himself, "It seems that I was really incompetent in the past. Not only do outsiders think that I can be bullied at will, but even the people around me don't take me seriously."

"Your Highness!" Wu Zhong was horrified and knelt down hurriedly. "Your Highness, why do you say that? I am loyal to you. Aren't you trying to kill me?"

The eldest prince glanced down at him condescendingly and said, "Okay, get up. I know your loyalty."

Others may secretly look down on him, but Wu Zhong has been with him since he was a child, so his loyalty is beyond doubt.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wu Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his eyes and stood up tremblingly, "Then, Your Highness, what did you mean by what you said just now?"

The eldest prince said calmly, "I just said what I felt. Perhaps, I really did something wrong. I shouldn't be so weak and incompetent that anyone could ignore it."

Wu Zhong said anxiously, "Your Highness, how can you be weak and incompetent? You are obviously a good student and have been smart since you were young. You stayed away from the court to protect yourself and not get involved in those things. You don't want to be watched by them, so you don't make enemies with others. This is also to make people not afraid of you. You did nothing wrong. You have lived a happy and comfortable life these years, and no one has schemed against you. This proves that you have done a good job."

The eldest prince does not have the strength to compete, so he creates an image of himself as weak and incompetent, obsessed with music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and not doing his job properly. This is the wisest choice for him to protect himself.

The eldest prince also thought it was right in the past, but now, his mentality has changed. "Wu Zhong, these years, I'm the only one who has lived a happy and comfortable life, but Huilan is gone, and Jin'er's life and death is unknown. They both ended up like that because of my cowardice and incompetence. Am I not wrong? I'm wrong, very wrong. It was me who failed to protect them..."

Wu Zhong was speechless when he heard this.

"I regret it!"

"Your Highness..."

The eldest prince interrupted, "Don't make excuses for me. I was wrong. Although it's too late to make amends now, I have finally got some interest back from them. One day, I will avenge them."

Wu Zhong could tell that he had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him. He just reminded him, "Marquis Changle has just been punished by the emperor. He can't take care of himself in the short term, and he's angry. You don't have to worry about him interfering in the affairs of the palace, but the princess won't accept her fate and may have some other ideas. Shouldn't we be on guard?"

The eldest prince nodded and said, "You arrange a few people to take turns guarding that courtyard. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order, let alone pass any news outside. Later, ask the Bodhisattva to send her in, and let Li Wanyu recite sutras every day to reduce her sins."

Wu Zhong's mouth twitched, "Yes, Your Highness, and Mr. Li, you also have to be careful."

If he is rescued halfway, he will not only become a fugitive, but if he stays outside for a period of time, he may very likely become a desperado.

Who knows if he will retaliate.

The eldest prince frowned, "Li Yuan is indeed a problem. We must find a way to find him. He has done so many evil things. How can he get away with it and live a good life again? He must pay the price to comfort so many people who died because of him."

Wu Zhong whispered, "We have limited manpower in our house, and I'm afraid we can't spare too much to look for someone."

The eldest prince sighed, "I understand. When I go to the palace tomorrow, I will ask my father to send me a few more capable people."

Wu Zhong's face lit up when he heard this. "Okay, okay, that's good. With the emperor coming forward, there will definitely be no problem."

The eldest prince did not show any joy on his face. "Li Yuan is just a pawn in the open. If we deal with him, there are still others..."

Wu Zhong hesitated and said, "You mean the eldest prince's wife? You can't... treat her as such, it will damage the reputation of the royal family. Besides, there is also the second young master. It is appropriate to seal off the courtyard like this. You can just tell the outside world that he is recuperating."

The eldest prince shook his head, "Not just her."

Wu Zhong asked tentatively, "Are you still going to deal with Marquis Changle?"

"no?"

"Ah, of course not..." Wu Zhong adapted quickly. Thinking of what he had just said, he dared not say anything else. "You are the prince, and he is a minister. He cannot act like a father-in-law in front of you. But if you want to deal with him, you still need solid evidence. After all, he has a title. Even the emperor cannot deal with him at will. Otherwise, how can you convince the people?"

The eldest prince was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I can't find any evidence, but I am sure that he is supporting someone else behind the scenes."

Wu Zhong also had such a guess. After all, the eldest prince had neither the ability nor the intention to seize the throne. The Marquis of Changle was cunning and ambitious. It was impossible for him to hang the future of the Marquisate on the eldest prince. If he really believed in the eldest prince, he would not have sent his unpopular concubine's daughter to him. However, he could not be sure who was supporting him behind the scenes.

"He doesn't have much contact with the other princes. It can't be the fifth or sixth prince..."

The eldest prince couldn't figure it out either. He frowned and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. He has quite a bit of power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged for people to pretend to be bandits to surround and kill Jin'er. You know Han Jun's ability. How could ordinary bandits be his opponent? He has been traveling outside for many years. He has many ways to deal with such situations. His martial arts are also outstanding, but he still couldn't beat those people. It can only mean that the people sent by Changle Hou are very powerful. Afterwards, even Dingyuan Hou couldn't find any clues. This is not something that ordinary guards can do."

Wu Zhong's expression changed. "Could it be that he has assassins secretly?"

"I don't know. If we can find my uncle and Jin'er, the truth will be revealed..."

Even if Marquis Dingyuan told him that the carriage Jin'er was riding in fell off a cliff, as long as he didn't see the body, he would rather believe that Jin'er was rescued by Han Jun and was now hiding somewhere, not daring to show up, for fear that there would be further pursuit from Marquis Changle's Mansion.

Wu Zhong did not dare to respond. He was not as optimistic as the eldest prince, and he did not dare to have any expectations. The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

In the study, both the master and the servant were silent. After a long while, the eldest prince suddenly said, "Li Wanyu said that when Jin'er was poisoned six years ago, the doctor Qu and the wet nurse who were bribed were not her people."

Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment, "Not hers? No way, is she lying to you?"

"At first I also thought she was lying, but she admitted to silencing Zheng Chunxiu and murdering Jin'er. Is there any need for her to deny bribing those two people?"

Wu Zhong heard this and murmured in confusion, "Yes, there is really no need to deny it. Could it really not be her? If it's not her, who else could it be? Who else would want to murder the emperor's eldest grandson?"

The eldest prince's heart moved, and his eyes flickered. "The eldest grandson? Yes, Jin'er is the eldest grandson, and my father favors him a little bit, so he not only blocked Li Wanyu's way, but also hindered those people's eyes. I am so stupid that I only thought of it now. I should have thought of it earlier. With Li Wanyu's brain, how could she have set up such a situation? If it wasn't a coincidence, Han Jun happened to find a doctor to come to the house, how could Jin'er be saved?"

"Your Highness, you mean..." Wu Zhong blurted out, then suddenly covered his mouth, with panic flashing in his eyes.

The eldest prince laughed bitterly, "I have already retreated to such a cowardly state, but they still refused to let me go. Jin'er was only two months old at that time, what kind of threat could she pose? They couldn't wait to take action. As expected, in the royal family, if you don't fight, you will die. I was too naive before..."

"Your Highness!" Wu Zhong fell to his knees.

This time the eldest prince did not say anything. He stared at the words on the wall and fell into deep thought.
