Chapter 403 The Scumbag Woman Reborn, the Regent Prince Refuses to Be a Sucker 21

Helian Yin used his newlywed leave as an excuse to refuse to enter the palace.

His Majesty was furious and lost his temper, but he dared not push the Regent too far.

As a result, the fifth prince was blamed.

After all, it was the fifth prince's men who shot and killed the third prince.

In fact, the emperor knew that this was a warning from Helian Yin. Everything was under Helian Yin's control, and everyone else was just a pawn to be manipulated at will.

But the Fifth Prince, who was his most favored heir to the throne, had become Helian Yin's pawn so easily. How could the emperor not be furious?

But this fury also carried a hint of fear that he dared not admit.

Although he was the emperor, in reality, it was Helian Yin who fought his way out of the struggle for the throne!

When Helian Ye ascended the throne, the eldest prince's children were already running around, while Helian Yin was still a young boy.

The two brothers were too far apart in age, and Helian Yin was intelligent from a young age, with a delicate and charming appearance that made him very lovable. Helian Ye used to dote on this younger brother.

However, when Helian Yin devised strategies for him to bring down his other brothers one by one, his feelings became somewhat complicated.

However, at that time, the deep brotherhood outweighed that bit of fear.

Moreover, since Helian Yin was determined to push him to the throne, he had no intention of taking the throne.

He was ruthless, but he was only trying to find a way to survive for himself, his mother, and their two children.

Being caught up in the struggle for the throne, safety cannot be guaranteed by not fighting for it.

On this path, a slight misstep can lead to utter destruction and irreversible ruin.

Helian Ye understood, and even felt somewhat guilty. If his elder brother hadn't been incompetent, Helian Yin wouldn't have had to go to such lengths to scheme.

He had once thought that they could always be brothers and sisters.

But as his illness worsened and he became acutely aware of his own frailty, and realized that he had given Helian Yin too much power, the seed that had once been planted in his heart began to slowly take root and sprout, growing into a towering tree, baring its fangs and claws, making him restless.

He would repeatedly recall how Helian Yin had eliminated his brothers one by one, and then he couldn't help but wonder if Helian Yin would treat his sons the same way in the future.

His once beloved younger brother has now become a thorn in his side, and he can't stand not getting rid of him.

The Fifth Prince has always been very favored, and this is the first time that his father has pointed his finger at him and scolded him for being brainless.

The fifth prince knelt on the ground, "Your subject knows his mistake. Please, Father, calm your anger and take care of your health."

Helian Ye was too embarrassed to tell his son that this was a warning from Helian Yin.

As a result, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but overthink things.

It seems that Father Emperor cares about Third Brother far more than he appears to.

Even though his third brother committed treason by forcing the emperor to abdicate, he never intended to kill him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken his anger out on his most favored son because of his third brother's death.

Did his father really dote on him as much as he showed?

Is his attitude towards his other sons really as he appears?

The Fifth Prince couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yunyan was useless. She thought that the Regent was a romantic and that if she could control her, the Regent could be used by him.

Who knew she would lose her mind and insist on annulling her engagement with the Regent.

Now look what's happened. Helian Yin doesn't want her anymore. He put so much effort into her, but Jiang Yunyan has become a useless pawn.

She even sent him a letter before his wedding, saying that if he helped her sabotage the marriage between the Regent and Jiang Yunqing, she would help him in the future.

Ha... She really thinks too highly of herself.

The Regent doesn't care about her life or death at all. Her leg has been broken twice, and she still doesn't understand. What an idiot!

However, his royal uncle now seems to cherish Jiang Yunqing quite a bit.

He had only invited Jiang Yunqing to go boating on the lake, and he couldn't sit still.

Moreover, at the palace banquet, he seemed to suggest changing his betrothal partner only to save face, but in the end, he actually married Jiang Yunqing and was quite eager to do so.

This made him wonder if he had always liked Jiang Yunqing, and if Jiang Yunyan was just a shield?

It seems I need to find another opportunity to get in touch with this regent's wife.

?

Yun Qing had no idea that someone was eyeing her.

She was woken up early by Helian Yin and hadn't had enough sleep. She closed her eyes and angrily shrank back into the covers, "What are you doing...?"

Helian Yin pulled her out of the covers, pinched her chin and kissed her, "You forgot it's your homecoming day?"

Yun Qing opened her eyes instantly. "Today?"

"Correct."

Yun Qing couldn't help but kick him, "It's all your fault, I forgot about it."

Helian Yin did keep his word. He promised to stay up all night and didn't touch her during the day, letting her rest well. But at night, he did something else entirely.

Yun Qing was in a daze and couldn't remember how many days had passed.

Helian Yin touched her hand in bed, gently rubbing her palm with his fingertips, and coaxed her earnestly, "Newlyweds are bound to be fond of pleasure. I'll restrain myself in the future. Didn't I make you go to bed earlier last night?"

Yun Qing kicked him again. He said such nice things, but it was only because she was going back to her parents' home today and he was afraid she wouldn't be able to get up that he had to restrain himself!

Yun Qing sat up and nudged him, "Get up quickly, I need to go back early, otherwise my mother will definitely think that you tortured me to death, leaving no trace of my remains!"

Helian Yin: ...I'm innocent.

When Yunqing got out of bed to get dressed, she looked down and found herself in a terrible state, clearly having suffered a lot of damage.

She couldn't help but look up and glare at Helian Yin.

Helian Yin didn't say anything. He just threw off the covers and got out of bed. Without putting on any clothes, he casually wandered around in front of Yun Qing a couple of times.

Yun Qing silently lowered her head.

Yun Qing's skin is delicate and easily leaves marks. It doesn't actually hurt, it just looks terrible. But the scratches and teeth marks on Helian Yin's body are real.

It's hard to say who's more of a beast.

Yun Qing felt guilty and unconvinced. She turned her head and snorted. If he hadn't kept tormenting her, why would she have "fought back"?

Helian Yin embraced her from behind, helping her tie her sash as he said, "How about I let you hit me?"

Yun Qing said proudly, "I don't need you to give way. I will beat you with my own strength sooner or later!"

The two whispered sweet nothings to each other for a while before calling someone in to serve them.

Helian Yin had already arranged for the return gift to be prepared.

However, the butler still showed the list to Yun Qing.

Yun Qing had no objections; in fact, she felt that Helian Yin was being a bit too generous.

She glanced at the jewels, beckoned Chunhua to fetch the brocade box, and then presented the largest string of pearls, the largest luminous pearl, and the most beautiful piece of jade...

She packed up everything she thought was the best, and whatever she could fit in her hands.

“I’ll give these to my mother separately.”

As she spoke, she looked at the beautiful brocade fabric, but unfortunately it couldn't fit into the box.

Helian Yin said, "These were originally prepared for my mother-in-law."

Yun Qing pouted and said, "If we just take it back like that, who knows if my father will be shameless enough to secretly take some of the good stuff to appease his beloved concubine? Men, you know..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she saw Helian Yin looking at her innocently, so she waved her hand and said, "I wasn't talking about you!"

Then, with a fierce tone, he said, "I must at least help my mother get the best of everything!"

Helian Yin suddenly felt a pang of heartache. If it weren't for the unreliability of Marquis Ning'an and his lack of affection for his wife and daughter, Yun Qing wouldn't have needed to constantly think about snatching things away.

Helian Yin harbored resentment towards the Marquis of Ning'an, so he instructed his steward to downgrade the gifts prepared for the Marquis of Ning'an and upgrade the gifts for his mother-in-law.

Then he said to Yun Qing, "Have you forgotten that you have a husband now? What I say goes to someone, and that's what I give them!"
