Old Liang Wangfei always traveled with guards, but everyone was intimidated by Marquis Xuanping's presence; no one dared to rush forward and fight him.

Marquis Xuanping was a seasoned general who had been on the battlefield countless times. He had killed more than a thousand enemies, so how could these inexperienced guards compare to him?

Even Old Liang Wangfei was momentarily subdued by Marquis Xuanping's aura. Most people in the world tended to bully the weak and fear the strong, while the truly formidable feared those who were fearless.

Marquis Xuanping was that fearless person.

Nanny Gui's face turned pale as she stammered, "You... you... you... you... you are going too far! If His Majesty finds out you treated our Wangfei like this... His Majesty will surely have you executed! Executed!"

"Get lost!"

Marquis Xuanping shouted sternly. Nanny Gui, who was still yelling just now, scrambled to help her master up and hurriedly left in their carriage.

Having been insulted twice on Zhuque Street in one day, they would probably hold a grudge against Marquis Xuanping for life.

After Old Liang Wangfei and her group left, the coachman hurriedly brought over the wheelchair, "Lord Marquis!"

Marquis Xuanping casually sat on the wheelchair.

Yu Jin approached with a complex expression, looking at the departing carriage with concern, "Lord Marquis, you were too violent towards Old Liang Wangfei."

Marquis Xuanping had suddenly appeared and stormed in without a word, dragging out Old Liang Wangfei. Yu Jin seriously doubted if he even knew who was inside.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Xuanping simply responded, "Your Marquis knows."

Yu Jin: ‘Your Marquis?’ Has he ever referred to himself like that before?

Marquis Xuanping was decisive and straightforward, rarely hesitating. But now, he was conflicted.

Should he stay or leave?

He furrowed his brow and finally pushed the wheelchair inside.

Princess Xinyang remained seated at the bedhead, gripping the quilt tightly with her hands, her eyes vacant.

Marquis Xuanping knocked on the open door. Princess Xinyang blinked and came to her senses. Only then did Marquis Xuanping stand up to move the wheelchair inside.

Upon reaching the bedside, he realized he had acted too quickly. He had only dragged out the old woman and hadn't thrown out her wheelchair.

"Yu Jin." He called.

Yu Jin entered. Seeing the empty wheelchair, she nodded understandingly and pushed Old Liang Wangfei's wheelchair out.

Princess Xinyang wiped away her tears calmly, not looking at Marquis Xuanping but towards the other end of the bed, "What have you found out?"

She asked about what he found out, not what he heard.

Indeed, anyone who listened to Old Liang Wangfei's heartfelt words earlier would not think she had done anything wrong.

Marquis Xuanping frankly said, "I have a steward named Liu Zhao. He used to work at Liang Wang Mansion in the capital. He said you didn't seem happy there, but everyone, including him, believes you were greatly loved and had a very good life."

Princess Xinyang looked slightly surprised, "Is that all?"

Marquis Xuanping shrugged, "Yes, that's all."

Princess Xinyang murmured in disbelief, "Then why did you act like that towards Old Liang Wangfei?"

Marquis Xuanping looked at her puzzled, "Qin Fengwen, does one need cold hard evidence to know if you are happy? If what she said was even slightly believable, would you react like that? Am I blind or have you gone mad? Can't I even tell if you're happy or not?"

Princess Xinyang stared at him blankly, "Is it that simple?"

Meeting her gaze, Marquis Xuanping asked, "How is it difficult?"

With a self-mocking smile, Princess Xinyang said, "Indeed, how is it difficult?"

"Imperial concubine mother, can I not meet with Ninth Granduncle later?"

"Why? Ninth Granduncle and Ninth Grandaunt came specifically to see you. They bought your favorite snacks. Don't you also like Ninth Granduncle and Ninth Grandaunt?"

"I..."

"Alright, don't be stubborn. Your concubine mother knows you're still upset about being punished by copying texts. But I did it for your own good. Your imperial father has so many children, and I haven't borne him a son. If you continue to be so uncooperative, it will be difficult for both of us, mother and daughter. Your Ninth Granduncle always visits you when he comes to the palace. As a result, your imperial father also values you more and has been visiting my palace more frequently. Soon, I will be able to give you a brother. Then we'll have someone to rely on in the palace."

"Does Imperial Concubine Yu know about this?" Marquis Xuanping interrupted Princess Xinyang's thoughts.

Princess Xinyang gripped the quilt more tightly and said calmly, "Know what? There's nothing to know."

Marquis Xuanping gave her a deep look and continued, "Old Liang Wang was highly respected by the late Emperor. Yet, he suddenly resigned from all his duties in the capital and moved to his fiefdom with his family, living as a retired prince without an official position. He only returned to the capital to mourn the late Emperor's death."

"Little Seven, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't make baseless claims without evidence, understand?"

"Imperial father..."

"Little Seven, you are the smartest princess of the State of Zhao. Your grades are the best among all princesses, but unfortunately, you are not a boy. Your imperial father has high hopes for you. Don't let me down."

But, imperial father, Little Seven is really scared...

Princess Xinyang's knuckles turned slightly white.

If even a father could not protect his daughter, then who could?

She had long lost all faith.

She stood in a silent abyss where no one could hear her scream.

Marquis Xuanping suddenly spoke up, "Who the late Emperor couldn't kill, I will."

Princess Xinyang's eyes flickered, turning to look at Marquis Xuanping.

Marquis Xuanping stood up, looking at her intently, "Qin Fengwen, I will kill this person."

Princess Xinyang opened her mouth slightly, her eyes turning slightly red, "Are you... out of your mind?"

Marquis Xuanping didn't say another word, turning away with a stern expression.

Princess Xinyang called out to him, "You don't even like me, why are you doing this?"

There was no love between them as a husband and wife, and their only connection was probably their son, Xiao Heng.

How much affection did Marquis Xuanping have towards Qin Fengwen? Initially, he married her with great anticipation.

He once happily thought, with such a beautiful wife, he would cherish her for a lifetime.

But who would have expected Qin Fengwen to treat their marriage in name only? After learning so, he wasn't that pathetic to continue loving her.

Unfortunately, fate had its way, and he ended up having a child with Qin Fengwen.

"Whether I like you or not, you are my wife, the mother of my son."

After speaking faintly, he walked out with large, confident strides as though he wasn’t injured at all.

The coachman hurried to the door, not daring to enter, and said to Yu Jin outside, "Lord Marquis’s wheelchair..."

Yu Jin brought out the wheelchair.

The coachman took it and ran out, shouting, "Lord Marquis! Lord Marquis! Your wheelchair!"

Marquis Xuanping whistled into the empty alley, and a proud and majestic horse galloped towards him——it was Marquis Xuanping's mount.

Marquis Xuanping leapt and got on the horse.

Just then, Xiao Heng arrived from the palace. He had come to visit Princess Xinyang and had just gotten down from his carriage, nearly colliding with Marquis Xuanping's horse.

Marquis Xuanping tightened the reins and steered his horse away.

Seeing his hurried expression, Xiao Heng said, "Your wound isn't healed yet; you shouldn't be riding a horse."

He knew he should listen to his son, but not right now.

Old Liang Wangfei had said that the old man's life was hanging by a thread. Marquis Xuanping feared that if he didn't act quickly, the old man would peacefully pass away in his bed.

He didn't deserve such a painless death.

Marquis Xuanping, on horseback, told his son, "You're grown up now, take care of your mother and don't let some unruly people bully her."

Xiao Heng was taken aback.

Of course, he would take care of his mother without being told.

But why did he say that? Hadn't he always treated him like a three-year-old?

"If your mother is upset, be good and don't make her angry these days."

He should be the one telling him that.

Marquis Xuanping was too preoccupied to notice the whirlwind of emotions in his son's heart, or perhaps he himself was unaware of his changing attitude towards his son. He might think of him as a child, but when it came to important matters, his son had already grown into a stalwart figure.

Marquis Xuanping rode off at a breakneck speed towards the east of the city.

The fiefdom of Old Liang Wang was a hundred miles east of the capital.

Inside, Yu Jin and Princess Xinyang clearly heard the fading sound of horse hooves.

Yu Jin didn't fully understand but could guess where Marquis Xuanping was headed. She looked worriedly towards the door and said, "Princess, Lord Marquis..."

Princess Xinyang lowered her eyes and whispered, "Fool."
