After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 256 A Concubine is Nothing More Than a Plaything

Upon hearing that it was the Liu family, a fierce glint appeared in Lu Hanting's eyes.

"what happened?"

Liu Yun was so frightened that she quickly explained the whole story.

It turned out that after the young master brought the Red Widow back to the Marquis's residence, the Marquis's wife was worried that there wouldn't be enough staff in the Green Pine Courtyard.

So they transferred two maids over.

Originally, these two maids were assigned by Cuiyun to sweep and clean the outer courtyard, but who knew that today Bihuan would sneak into the guest room and poison the Red Widow during the chaos.

Hearing Liu Yun's words, Lu Hanting frowned, his gaze sharp as an ice blade.

"Okay, got it."

He will ask his mother about this tomorrow.

"Sir..."

Seeing the young master walking towards Biyun Court, Liuyun called out.

"What's the matter?"

Lu Hanting turned around, frowning.

"No, it's okay!"

Liu Yun assumed that the young master had gone the wrong way, but seeing his gloomy face, she knew that he was probably going to Biyunting.

Ever since Wu Weiwei left, Wanqiu had been restless in the house.

Although her aunt had explained it to her, she was still worried.

She had thought the night would be peaceful, but about half an hour after her master left, she heard the sound of wind chimes ringing in the hallway.

Is it my aunt who's back?

No, this walking posture is too hurried, it doesn't sound like my aunt's usual walking sound.

Lu Hanting went straight to the door.

Pushing open the door, I found it was bolted shut from the inside.

"Knock knock!"

"Who?"

“Aunt Wu, this is our young master.”

Liu Yun's voice came from outside the door.

Oh no, it really is the Crown Prince.

How to do?How to do?

Wanqiu was so nervous that her hands and feet were sweating, but when she remembered her aunt's instructions before she left, she calmed down.

"Your Highness, your concubine has gone to sleep."

"By bracing myself," Wanqiu said nervously.

It's normal for my aunt to be asleep so late at night.

But Lu Hanting could hear the tension in Wan Qiu's voice.

"Are you asleep, or do you not want to see me, Your Highness?"

In the past, whether he came or not, Wei'er's door was never locked.

Why did you lock the door today? Is it because you're angry with him and want to keep him out from now on?

"No, no, Auntie is tired today and has already gone to bed..."

Wanqiu calmed herself down again.

"Wei'er, are you still angry with me?"

Lu Hanting didn't believe it.

Although she could be a little temperamental on ordinary days, she would usually let things pass and would never hold a grudge against him.

Wanqiu felt conflicted.

She prayed that the prince would leave quickly, but thinking of her aunt's instructions before leaving, she worried about the turmoil the prince would face after discovering that his master was gone.

"Wei'er, I only punished you because I was too worried about Yan'er and wanted to appease her..."

"Behave yourself these next few days. Once her resentment dissipates, I will still return your properties to you..."

"..."

The prince talked on and on outside, but Wanqiu was terrified listening to him inside.

Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince would confess to his concubine.

Ugh!

Although the prince knew he was wrong, his aunt's heart had already been broken by him.

I'm afraid the concubine will not forgive the heir.

"Wei'er, don't be angry! I promise I'll make it up to you after this is all over."

"By the way, didn't you want the position of Imperial Merchant? After a while, when I attend court, I'll propose to the Emperor that the position be given to you."

Lu Hanting talked for a long time, but he couldn't get the slightest response from Wu Weiwei.

"Wei'er, open the door..."

Seeing that there was no response after talking for a while, Lu Hanting stopped wasting words.

Enraged, he stepped forward and kicked the door open.

"Shi, Shizi..."

As Lu Hanting kicked the door open, Wan Qiu, who was startled, looked at the man standing in the moonlight with a dark expression.

Lu Hanting didn't look at her.

Instead, he went straight into the room and looked at the neatly folded blankets on the bed.

"Where did she go?"

Wanqiu lowered her eyes, not daring to meet the prince's gaze.

"Your Highness, your concubine... she's gone out..."

Wanqiu immediately knelt down.

Where could she go in the middle of the night?

The doubt in Lu Hanting's eyes faded, replaced by a cold glint in his eyes.

"Tell me, where did Madam Wu go?"

"Aunt, my aunt went out after receiving the note. I really don't know where she went..."

Note?

Lu Hanting suddenly recalled the scene of Wu Weiwei shaking hands with his senior brother earlier that day.

Lu Hanting's gaze swept over Wan Qiu, who was kneeling on the ground. She was trembling, and her head was hanging so low that it was almost touching the ground.

"go!"

After everyone left, Wanqiu collapsed to the ground, and when she touched her back, she found that it was mostly wet.

Jianqing stood anxiously at the door.

Lingfu chuckled inwardly as she watched him.

She, as a maidservant serving her aunt, wasn't afraid at all, yet he, a man, was so terrified.

Just as Ling Fu was secretly mocking Jian Qing's cowardice, Lu Hanting led his men to Wangyue Tower.

Looking up, Lu Hanting saw Ling Fu and Jian Qing standing like door gods at the entrance, and a surge of intense anger welled up in his heart.

Ha ha.

The eldest brother's servant and Wu's maid, it turns out the two of them were spying on their master.

Upon seeing Lu Hanting arrive, Jian Qing's face immediately turned green.

"Sir..."

Lingfu was bolder than him; she knelt before the young master and said, "Greetings, Young Master!"

The prince called out "Your Highness!" with particular volume, as if afraid the people inside wouldn't hear him.

Lu Hanting knew that Ling Fu was deliberately informing the people inside.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips as his sharp eyes swept over Jian Qing, whose face was flushed red.

"Jian Qing, it's the middle of the night, and Senior Brother is still busy entertaining distinguished guests?"

"Young Master, our young master..."

Jian Qing had no idea how to answer.

Because his young master is currently having a secret rendezvous with the heir apparent's concubine inside.

Although the two claimed to be innocent, it was late at night and they were alone together; no one could really explain it.

"Lingfu, you tell us!"

Lu Hanting stared at her with sinister eyes.

Although he spoke calmly at this moment, everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.

Lingfu, whose name was called, knelt down, her voice trembling, and said, "Your Highness, our aunt... she just happened to have something to discuss with Young Master Xiao! You... you must believe her..."

After confirming that Wu Weiwei was inside, a cold glint flashed in Lu Hanting's eyes.

A murderous intent, tinged with the scent of blood, surged forth from him, and he was about to break down the door.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound.

The door was opened from the inside, and Wu Weiwei, looking light and cheerful, walked out.

"Sir..."

She looked at her disheveled hair, flushed face, and her attempt to appear calm.

A hint of madness flashed in Lu Hanting's eyes, and a burning rage raged in his heart.

"Wu, how dare you! You actually dared to have an affair with my senior brother behind my back! You..."

Lu Hanting drew his sword from his waist and brought it to Wu Weiwei's delicate neck.

"Tell me, I have treated you well, why did you betray me?"

However, Wu Weiwei, with a knife to her neck, felt no fear whatsoever; instead, a sense of pleasure swept through her heart.

Hmph, he's treated her well?

Only he could say something like that.

Wu Weiwei looked at him coldly and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, I am nothing more than your plaything."

"They come when summoned and leave when dismissed, so why are you so angry?"

What kind of behavior is it to reward someone with money and gifts when you like them, and take them all back when you don't?

Does she think she's special?

Whoever wants to be such a favored concubine can have it; she's not going to serve her anymore.

Looking at Wu Weiwei's unyielding and arrogant demeanor, Lu Hanting narrowed his eyes. Perhaps this was her true nature?

“Mr. Wu, do you know how many people would kill for the plaything you speak of?”

"Is this still not enough for you?"

Lu Hanting couldn't understand why Wu Weiwei was so dissatisfied when there were so many women outside scrambling to become his concubines in the Marquis's mansion.

Lu Hanting's words made Wu Weiwei smile.

However, she did not make excuses for herself.

Judging from her appearance, has she really cheated on me and betrayed me?

If what I said before was just speculation, now, seeing her calm and composed expression, it must have really happened.

"Wu, do you really think I wouldn't bear to kill you?"

Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Lu Hanting suddenly felt a sense of panic.

Upon seeing this, Wu Weiwei pressed her neck against the blade.

"Your Highness, whether you want to kill me or torture me, I am at your mercy!"

"Disposal?"

Hahaha……

She was willing to risk her life for her senior brother.

A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn everything to ashes.

"Mrs. Wu, did you calculate that I wouldn't kill you?"

Just as Lu Hanting's blade was about to strike, Xiao Qingyu stepped out from inside.

He was dressed in a moon-white robe, the hem fluttering in the wind, his long black hair casually tied up with a white jade hairpin, exuding a refreshing and elegant air, and a refined and otherworldly aura.

"Third junior brother, nothing happened between Miss Wei and me, please don't overthink it..."

"Ha ha……"

Is the senior brother trying to treat him like a fool?

"Senior brother, I respect you as my senior brother. If you had only told me that you liked the Wu family, I might have..."

"After I told you, Junior Brother, would you be willing to give Miss Wei to me?"

Seeing his generous manner, Xiao Qingyu smiled and replied.

As Miss Wei guessed, it seems that her junior brother really might give her away.

Heard about sending?

Lu Hanting recalled Wu Weiwei's probing words to him half a year ago.

"Your Highness, you must promise that you will never give Wei'er away again! No matter who asks, you must not agree."

Lu Hanting looked at the woman who was looking at him with a slightly sarcastic expression.

Suddenly, he fell silent.

To be honest, he was reluctant to give her up, even though Wu Weiwei had betrayed him.

However, he also couldn't accept Wu Weiwei's betrayal.

If he could, he would rather kill her than let any other man touch her.

Seeing the ruthlessness in Lu Hanting's eyes, Xiao Qingyu suddenly spoke up: "Third Junior Brother, didn't you ask me yesterday what my conditions were for treating Miss Bei? My condition is Miss Wei's divorce papers!"

Upon hearing the document authorizing the release of his concubine, Lu Hanting was suddenly struck by the truth.

Wu Weiwei actually wants to escape from me; she doesn't want to stay by my side?

His burning eyes glared angrily at her. "Is this what you long for?"

Wu Weiwei looked directly at him, "I humbly beg Your Highness to grant my request!"

"Hahaha……"

He thought Wu Weiwei harbored feelings for him and considered himself her everything, but today she actually wanted to escape from him for the sake of her senior brother.

It's ironic, incredibly ironic.

Lu Hanting looked at Xiao Qingyu.

"Senior Brother, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. You can't cure Yan'er's face!"

Upon hearing him say this, Xiao Qingyu looked at him in surprise.

"Why?"

Thinking of what Liu Yun had just said about the Red Widow being poisoned.

Lu Hanting's blood boiled, and his killing intent surged like an undercurrent.

"The Red Widow is dead! The mother Gu carrier who poisoned Yan'er is dead."

This means that Yan'er may never recover.

Not only will they not recover, but they may also die from the Gu poison three months later.

Two women.

One was disfigured, and the other wanted to escape from him.

Upon realizing this fact, Lu Hanting almost couldn't suppress the surge of anger within him.

"died?"

Upon hearing this news, a thoughtful look appeared in Xiao Qingyu's eyes.

He glanced up at Wu Weiwei and saw her look back at him slightly.

Thinking of Wu Weiwei's request just now, Xiao Qingyu understood.

Seeing the two exchanging glances in front of him, Lu Hanting curled his lips into a cold smile.

snort!

Wu Weiwei wants to get the divorce papers and elope with her senior brother. She's dreaming!

"Wu, as my concubine, you have failed to uphold the virtues of womanhood and have committed adultery. From tomorrow onwards, all your properties will be officially taken over by Liu Yun. As for you..."

The prince looked at Wu Weiwei.

"From this moment forward, you are confined to Biyun Courtyard. Without my permission, you are forbidden from ever stepping outside its gates again."

Even though Lu Hanting hated her, he still couldn't bear to kill Wu Weiwei.

Even if a woman's heart is not with him, he will not give her away.

Even if he dies, he can only grow old and die in the Marquis's mansion.

Upon hearing Lu Hanting's decision to execute her, Wu Weiwei chuckled inwardly.

I've already cheated on him, but I can't believe he can still tolerate it. It seems the dosage wasn't strong enough.

The curve of her lips deepened as she looked at Lu Hanting.

"I am grateful for the Prince's mercy in sparing my life, and I will obey your orders and return to my quarters!"

After saying that, Wu Weiwei turned around and walked out of Wangyue Tower without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at her stunning figure, Lu Hanting's inner peace was instantly shattered.

good very good!

I just hope she won't regret it in her life!

"Senior brother, I heard that Chongshan Academy is about to start its semester soon. I see you're quite busy."

"In that case, the Marquis's mansion will no longer keep you..."

Xiao Qingyu's expression remained unchanged as she listened to Lu Hanting's words.

Ha, it seems he's really furious.

He looked back at Lu Hanting, "In that case, I won't bother you any longer, Senior Brother!"

Lu Hanting led his men and left in a menacing manner.

After everyone left, Jianqing looked at his master.

"Young Master, is it really a good idea for you to prevent the Crown Prince from coming to Taiwan for the sake of a woman?"

Xiao Qingyu looked at him.

"I promised her I would help her leave the Marquis's mansion!"

The next day.

The news that Wu Weiwei had been confined to Biyunting spread throughout the Marquis's mansion. Everyone knew that Aunt Wu had been punished, but they did not know why.

Some say that Aunt Wu killed the cousin, while others say that Wu Weiwei ordered someone to poison the girl the young master had rescued...

Lady Hou was overjoyed upon hearing this news.

However, when she learned that the maid she had sent to Qingsong Courtyard had been locked in the backyard, Xie Ningxin became angry.

These two maids were sent by Xie Ningxin, who said they were two maids to be sent in advance for trial marriage.

I softened my heart and agreed to her request, and then...
