Quick Transmigration: Help! What to do when my husband is obsessed with love?

Chapter 380 Princess Rouan 30

“There’s no need for Master Wang to worry about that,” Ling Yi said softly, sticking her head out of the window. “You will definitely not see that day.”

Wang Dao was startled by the sudden appearance of the head. How could there be such an impolite princess in the world?

How could there be such a vicious princess?

Thinking that everything the Wang family is in now is because of this vicious woman, he wished he could get rid of her as soon as possible!

He has already lost a son, and she still won't let go!

"Your Highness?" Wang Suizhi's eyes lit up completely the moment he saw Ling Yi.

He walked to the bedside in a few steps, brushed the dust off Ling Yi's hair, and said helplessly, "If you want to listen, just listen. What are you doing hiding here? You've gotten yourself covered in dust."

"They only know about the princess and not the royal family," Ling Yi repeated Wang Suizhi's words with a smile, and said with a grin, "If I were to hear it in person, how could I have heard such sweet words?"

Wang Suizhi blushed slightly at his words, and Ling Yi held his arm as he jumped over from the other side of the window, saying helplessly, "Why can't I?"

"If Your Highness wishes to hear my sweet words, then just tell me, and I will tell you everything."

At this moment, Wang Dao became the only superfluous person in the hall.

He should have turned and left at this moment, maintaining his dignity as the head of a powerful family, but his feet seemed to be rooted to the spot, unable to move an inch. He could only stare blankly at the interaction between the two.

After a long while, when the hairpin that Ling Yi had sent back to the mansion the day before was returned to his head, he finally spoke: "Your Highness..."

Ling Yi turned around, surprised: "Why haven't you left yet?"

Wang Dao's voice was weary and aged. He lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and performed a deep bow: "Your Highness, please forgive the Wang family this time, considering the kindness of the Wang family in raising Wang Suizhi."

In this dynasty, the custom of kneeling and bowing is not common. Except when someone is guilty or during a grand court ceremony, officials rarely kneel and bow to the emperor, let alone princesses.

At this moment, Wang Dao's kneeling, abandoning all dignity, can be described as nothing short of humility.

Not to mention, he knelt down in front of his son.

Wang Dao pressed his forehead to the cold ground, his voice aged: "Anything the Wang family can give, all belongs to the princess. I only ask that Your Highness leave a spark of life for the Wang family."

At that moment, he didn't see the terrifyingly sinister look in Wang Suizhi's eyes as he stared at him.

Since entering the princess's residence, he has been walking on thin ice every day, and has devoted all his efforts to winning the princess's heart.

I dare not ask for any personal gain, but only offer my sincere heart, hoping for the princess's mercy, for her affection, and for me to stay by her side forever.

Yet his nominal father dared to use his status to plead with the princess for such an important matter.

Why should we spare the Wang family for his sake?

Why should he waste his goodwill on this?

Instead of using it to let the princess listen to him play the zither?

Wang Dao deserves to die!

The chilling aura around her was so strong that Ling Yi glanced to the side and saw Wang Suizhi's sinister and terrifying eyes.

He harbored murderous intent towards his biological father.

Ling Yi suddenly grabbed his hand, pulling him back to his senses.

Wang Dao must be killed by her; Wang Suizhi cannot bear the crime of patricide.

He looked down at Wang Dao kneeling on the ground, his heart filled with murderous intent.

This old scoundrel went from being furious at the beginning to bowing his head and pleading in a very short moment.

Such gloomy thoughts must not be allowed to linger!

She finally understood how, despite Wang Ying's incompetence, he had managed to amass a fortune for the Wang family large enough to launch a rebellion.

Such flexibility and adaptability would be invaluable in the imperial court.

"Wang Dao." Her voice softened. "Now that things have come to this, I will no longer waste words with you."

"The Wang family is an important pawn in my game, and they must not leave the chessboard at this moment." Wang Dao, kneeling on the ground, visibly trembled, as if terrified by these words.

But his eyes, looking at the dark ground, were unusually calm.

“Your Highness, whatever your command, I dare not disobey.” He said in a low voice, “I only ask that Your Highness grant the Wang family a chance to survive.”

He kowtowed deeply: "I dare not presume to discuss matters of the imperial family; I only know that there is no dead end in the path of the world."

"The downfall of the Du family is enough to terrify the aristocratic families." His voice was urgent. "Although my Wang family is temporarily regarded as an enemy of the aristocratic families, the world will eventually wake up and understand Your Highness's schemes and the principle of mutual dependence!"

"At that time, the alliance of powerful families will be an unstoppable trend, and Your Highness will face countless difficulties in governing the country!"

This patriarch, who looked down on his son and even considered strangling him, suddenly became reasonable when facing Ling Yi.

"On the contrary, if you spare the lives of my Wang family, everything will be different."

"Firstly, it is to win people's hearts; secondly, it is to serve as a shield for powerful families; and thirdly, it is to have loyal ministers!"

"Your subject, Wang Dao, is willing to serve Your Highness the Princess as a dog or horse in order to save his life!"

This guy has a really nice way of speaking.

Ling Yi clicked her tongue as she listened to Wang Dao's words, and said quietly, "You mean, I not only have to spare the lives of your Wang family, but also give you important positions in order to buy your favor with a fortune?"

Is that all you're hoping for?

Wang Dao's expression hardened: "Of course not. The Wang family is willing to return to their ancestral home after the matter is accomplished to pray for the princess's well-being. For three generations, they will not serve as officials in the court, but only wish for the princess's good health."

Ling Yi lowered her eyes: "Once the conflict begins, your Wang family will surely suffer countless casualties. Are you willing to relinquish power and return to your hometown after everything is over?"

The head of the Wang family, who was focused on usurping the throne, said decisively: "The world belongs to the imperial family. How can it be the right of others? I am old and frail and only want to return to my hometown to farm!"

Ling Yi pressed aggressively: "Whose land is this?"

Wang Dao's heart tightened: "The imperial fields!"

What will happen to the Wang family's assets outside the family?

"All the wealth in the world belongs to the imperial family!"

"Would the Wang family be willing to release the hidden households and do good deeds for the villagers?"

"Of course, Your Highness's virtue is unmatched, and we are willing to follow in your footsteps!"

"I've heard that the Wang family has a vast collection of books..."

"I wish to make a copy for myself, and give the original to the imperial family!"

As they exchanged questions and answers, her tone grew increasingly urgent, yet a smile slowly appeared on Ling Yi's face.

We've given up all our family property, books, land, and hidden households—we're so embarrassed!

Is so much money enough to buy the continuation of the Wang family?

enough.

Is it enough to buy the lives of the Wang family head's entire lineage?

That's still not enough.

But such unimportant matters need not be told to Wang Dao; let him diligently dedicate himself to the Wang family.

"Oh dear, Master Wang, get up quickly, the ground is so cold."

Ling Yi helped the man up from the ground and hurriedly said, "Why don't you quickly serve tea to Young Master Wang?"

Wang Dao stood up with Ling Yi's help and could see Ling Yi's smiling face.

This princess was born in the Year of the Dog. Just a moment ago she was glaring at me, but if I give her enough money, she'll be my good minister again!

How could he possibly trust someone like that?

But what else could he do besides send a letter?
