Chapter 62: Cruel Prince 11

Tang Wan nodded thoughtfully.

In other words, she couldn’t actively do things harmful to the male and female leads. However, if they tried to harm her first, she was allowed to retaliate reasonably.

At that moment, the little cutie coughed lightly.

“Besides, I’m a husband-training system. Your husband is already this powerful, so don’t waste the resource! When you encounter danger, think about relying on him instead of handling everything yourself. Otherwise, if you go too far, it’ll be troublesome if the system decides to punish you.”

The little cutie truly felt like it was exhausting itself for its host’s sake.

Tang Wan’s eyes instantly lit up in understanding.

“You’re right!” she said excitedly. “The villain is already naturally opposed to the male and female leads. If they end up hurting each other, that has nothing to do with me. And if they really provoke me too much, it still won’t be too late for me to personally fight back!”

Thinking about Feng Qitong’s earlier words, Tang Wan couldn’t help secretly realizing:

This man was actually rather considerate.

He had obviously already discovered who schemed against her, yet instead of telling her directly, he chose to avenge her personally.

Suddenly, Feng Qitong seemed to have quite a few good points after all.

For a moment, Tang Wan unconsciously glanced at him with admiration.

That single look immediately deepened Feng Qitong’s gaze, and he lowered his head to kiss her again.

...

The carriage traveled steadily toward the Tang residence and arrived at the gates about fifteen minutes later.

Knowing the Crown Prince himself was arriving, Elder Tang hurried over personally to welcome him.

After entering the residence, Tang Wan bid farewell to Feng Qitong before returning to her courtyard with her personal maid.

Tang Qingzhu quickly followed behind.

“Second Sister, are you alright? It’s all my fault... I accidentally spilled wine on you... and then you... you...”

Hearing this, Tang Wan paused and looked at her with a faint smile.

“What happened to me?”

Previously, Tang Wan had played along with Tang Qingzhu because she already knew her scheme and needed the opportunity to approach Feng Qitong.

But now that she was about to marry into the Crown Prince’s residence, why should she continue tolerating Tang Qingzhu’s manipulative behavior?

Reborn?

So what?

Tang Qingzhu’s miserable previous life had largely been caused by her own greed and ambition.

Back then, Elder Tang had genuinely planned a decent marriage for her. Although the chosen husband’s official rank wasn’t high, his character was good, and his family situation was simple.

But Tang Qingzhu wanted wealth and status. Influenced by her mother, she chose a playboy cousin from her maternal grandmother’s family instead.

In the end, she was abandoned miserably.

Yet after being reborn, instead of reflecting on herself, she blamed everything on the Tang family.

It was true that Tang Wan’s title as the “number one talented woman” was somewhat exaggerated, and many of the poems had indeed originated from Tang Qingzhu.

But at the very least, Tang Wan had never actively schemed against her.

Meanwhile, Tang Qingzhu believed Tang Wan had stolen her glory and caused her miserable marriage in her previous life.

Because of that resentment, she had viciously joined forces with the Second Prince to scheme against both Tang Wan and Feng Qitong.

And now she still dared put on this fake expression of concern.

Truly laughable.

...

When Tang Wan questioned her, Tang Qingzhu gave an awkward laugh and quickly replied, “Nothing! As long as Second Sister is alright, I’m relieved.”

“Then I should thank Fourth Sister for your concern,” Tang Wan replied with a smile. “Actually, speaking of it, I should thank you properly. If not for you, how could I ever have met His Royal Highness?”

“If I truly become Mother of the Nation in the future, I certainly won’t forget Fourth Sister’s cup of wine that day.”

After finishing, Tang Wan calmly instructed her maid, “Let’s go,” before turning and leaving directly.

After Tang Wan departed, Tang Qingzhu clenched her fists tightly and sneered coldly.

Mother of the Nation?

Dream on!

In another year, Feng Qitong would head to the battlefield and commit the monstrous act of slaughtering Zhao Kingdom’s two hundred thousand surrendered soldiers.

After that, he would completely lose his sanity.

And the one who would ultimately ascend the throne—

would be the Second Prince.
