"Oh? Tell me about it soon!" Mrs. Lu was really anxious.

Seeing that Lady Lu was extremely anxious, Rong Sheng immediately said, "Everyone knows that Prince Jing'an wants to marry me, but now this incident has happened. It not only ruined the reputation of Prince Jing'an's mansion, but also brought shame to Sister Jin'er and the Marquis's mansion."

"In that case, why don't we spread the news and say that Prince Jing'an and Sister Jin'er are actually in love with each other, and they just couldn't control their emotions at the banquet."

"Then Princess Yong'an found out about this and wanted to separate the two of them, which led to this incident."

"Then we will propose to the Jing'an Palace that Jin'er be married off. If they disagree, my father will report the matter to the emperor truthfully."

Rong Sheng glanced at Lady Lu when he said this. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he continued calmly, "Prince Jing'an is now powerful in the court, but he would never dare to act rashly in front of His Majesty. In the end, they will definitely compromise. In this way, we can save some of my sister's face and not destroy the marriage between the two houses. What do you think, mother?"

Mrs. Lu listened to Rong Sheng's words and her distorted facial features gradually relaxed, because Rong Sheng's proposal was exactly what she had in mind.

The Jing'an Palace is so wealthy, and Lu originally wanted to marry Rong Jin to it as the Crown Prince's Consort. The annoying thing is that Rong Sheng has always been blocking their way.

Now that Rong Sheng has actually offered to give up his throne, it will be a natural thing for Rong Jin to become the Crown Prince's Consort.

As long as Rong Jin marries him, she will be able to rest easy for the rest of her life, so what does it matter if she suffers a little loss now?

She had a plan in mind, but pretended to be embarrassed on the surface: "But if this happens, Sheng'er, won't you be unable to be the Crown Prince's Consort?"

"Mother, don't worry about your daughter. As long as Sister Jin'er can get through this difficult time, being a prince's consort won't mean anything." Rong Sheng patted his chest and said confidently.

Rong Jin, who was standing by, heard Rong Sheng say this and his crying gradually subsided.

She had physical contact with Prince Jing'an, so she is now his.

Although Prince Jing'an was a little rude to her afterwards, it was the Prince Jing'an Palace after all, with countless wealth. As long as she could marry Prince Jing'an in the end, it would not be a big deal to suffer a little grievance.

That's why she wanted to propose to Rong Dexin to marry into Prince Jing'an's Mansion, but she couldn't say it directly due to considerations.

Rong Sheng was as smart and decisive as he acted in the palace, and as his mother said, he also had some martial arts skills.

But why is he so foolish now, actually offering to let her marry into the palace, to save her from crying, making a fuss, or even hanging herself?

At this time, Rong Dexin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly coughed twice. He had actually been listening to the conversation between Lu and Rong Sheng. When he heard that Rong Sheng was willing to give up the engagement, his expression eased.

Now everyone in the capital knows that Rong Jin lost her virginity to the prince, so he has bargaining chips in his hands for the marriage. Anyway, all he wants is to establish a relationship with Prince Jing'an, so he doesn't care which daughter he marries.

Thinking of this, he stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Well, now it is best to do as Sheng'er said. I never thought that Sheng'er would be so sensible now. I am really pleased as a father."

"Father, sharing the worries of the Marquis' Mansion is what I, as a princess, should do." Rong Sheng said softly as she stood up and saluted. "It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."

After she finished speaking, she quickly left Longhe Hall.

At this time, the moon was bright in the sky, and the silver moonlight made the inner courtyard of the marquis's mansion seem very quiet and peaceful.

Rong Sheng walked towards Mingyuexuan with light steps, feeling extremely happy.

Rong Jin and Lu have tried to put him to death many times, so let them wade into the muddy water of Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

But thanks to Rong Jin's efforts, he finally got rid of the marriage. At the same time, he was lucky enough to find some flaws in Jing'an Palace.

Thinking of the flaw, Rong Sheng's mind once again emerged with the dilapidated courtyard and rockery of Prince Jing'an's Mansion.

The secret of Prince Jing'an's Palace might be hidden in that rockery, but the layout of the palace is really complicated, so I had better quickly draw down the route I wrote down today.

As she thought about it, she quickened her pace.

Prince Jing'an's Palace, inner courtyard bedroom.

"Crack-pump-"

Horrifying sounds of whipping came from the hall.

King Jing'an Liu Motan was holding a whip with an angry look on his face, and he hit Liu Rufeng's back hard again and again.

Liu Rufeng curled up and knelt on the ground. His back was already covered in flesh and the burning pain made it difficult for him to breathe, but he bit his lips tightly and dared not make a sound.

Because he knew in his heart that if he made the slightest noise, King Jing'an would become even more aggressive and beat him even more fiercely.

I don’t know how long it took, but perhaps because he saw Liu Rufeng’s body shaking more and more violently, Liu Motian stopped.

He handed the whip to the servant, sat back on the main seat, looked down at Liu Rufeng, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know your mistake now, huh?"

"Father...Father, I know I was wrong."

Liu Rufeng's mouth twitched in pain as he replied weakly.

"You have been messing around with some unknown people these years, and that's fine," Liu Motian said, seeing that Liu Rufeng had lost his arrogance, and his tone softened a little, "Now you are even more daring and even dare to provoke the Marquis of Rongguo."

Liu Rufeng's pain was slowly subsiding. When he heard Liu Motian say this, his arrogance surged up again: "Father, compared to you, the Marquis of Rongguo is nothing. Why should we take him seriously?"

"Oh, Liu Rufeng, your father didn't realize you were so stupid now." Liu Motian laughed instead of getting angry, "Marquis Rong was also a powerful figure in the past and was deeply loved by the emperor. It's just that now, in order to protect himself, he is wholeheartedly participating in party struggles and has not done anything substantial, which is why he seems out of place in the court."

"You are the prince of my palace, but you have been ignorant and dissolute since childhood. You don't know anything about the court situation and personal connections, but now you are at the age of marriage, and you have caused such a scene. Now the whole capital has to laugh at my palace!"

As Liu Motian spoke, he leaned back in his chair tiredly and sighed helplessly, "I think your illegitimate brothers are quite knowledgeable. If you continue like this, you don't have to be the crown prince anymore. Let your brothers take over."

"Father, you must not do that!" Liu Rufeng was so anxious that tears came out of his eyes. "I know I was wrong, and I will definitely change!"

He had gotten into trouble before and his father had turned a blind eye to it, but this time he is saying he wants to fire him. How can that be acceptable?

If Liu Rufeng was not the prince, how could he hold his head up in the capital!

Thinking of this, Liu Rufeng knelt down and crawled to Liu Motian's feet, begging in a tearful voice: "Father, I promise there won't be a next time. This time you can punish me however you want!"

Liu Motian looked at Liu Rufeng at his feet and his heart couldn't help but soften.

After all, Liu Rufeng was his first child and his only legitimate son. Even if he had made a heinous mistake, he could not bear to be too harsh on him.

But things are different now. My careful plan has reached the final stage and no mistakes are allowed.

Although the strength of Rongguo Hou has been greatly reduced in recent years, he still has 10,000 elite troops under his command.

Moreover, he has adopted many retainers in his house, all of whom are highly skilled in martial arts. Therefore, winning over Rongguo Hou is also a great help in his plan, and he must not fall out with him.

Retracting his thoughts, Liu Motian sighed helplessly and said, "Since you are willing to repent, then marry the second daughter of the Marquis of Rongguo as the Crown Prince's consort."

"No!" Liu Rufeng was very excited after hearing this, "The second young lady of the Rong family is not worthy of being the prince's consort of my child!"
