TFWYH – Chapter 766 The Crown Prince of Feng Kingdom

“I don’t like you.”

Don’t like you.

Don’t like.

You.

First she had been rejected by Huangfu Yi.

Now even a mere minister looked down on her.

The final thread of reason in Han Guli’s mind snapped.

Her eyes filled with resentment and fury, while tears welled up in them.

“Your Celestial Empire… has gone too far in bullying others!”

The person Jiang Shi despised most was the kind of woman who shamelessly threw herself at another woman’s husband.

She had already been seething with anger ever since Han Guli announced that she wanted to marry Ling Yu.

Now, seeing Han Guli making a scene and abandoning all dignity, she could no longer hold back.

Frowning, she muttered,

“A perfectly fine young woman, yet she insists on competing with another woman for her husband. How utterly improper.”

Su Qing felt exactly the same way.

She let out a cold laugh and continued,

“I am also quite curious. The Celestial Empire has no shortage of fine men. Among the civil and military officials present, there are many who are still unmarried. Princess Han Guli, why do you never look at those without wives and instead keep setting your sights on other people’s husbands?”

Damn it!

Trying to steal men right in front of my daughter?

Princess or not, I’ll crush you all the same!

The two mother figures fought fiercely on Tang Wan’s behalf, leaving Han Guli utterly humiliated.

Large tears streamed down her face.

“Ever since ancient times, a graceful gentleman has sought a virtuous lady.”

At that moment, another voice rang out.

Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Shang addressed the emperor.

“In Feng Kingdom, it is perfectly normal for a woman to have three husbands and four attendants. If a woman takes a liking to a certain man, but his wife is unwilling to part with him, then the two women may compete. Whoever wins earns the right to have that man.”

The moment those words were spoken, countless worldviews shattered.

Not only were the emperor and all the officials dumbfounded—

Even Kui Ni and Han Guli were stunned.

Murong Hong’s expression changed drastically.

“National Preceptor, you…”

Ling Shang waved a hand, cutting him off.

Then he turned to Tang Wan and gave her a gentle smile.

“What does County Lady Wengnai think?”

Tang Wan frowned.

She had barely opened her mouth when Ling Yu coldly interjected:

“National Preceptor, this is the Celestial Empire, not Feng Kingdom. How can Feng Kingdom’s customs apply here?”

Ling Shang smiled faintly.

Then he dropped another bombshell.

“But… County Lady Wengnai is a citizen of Feng Kingdom.”

“Not only that—she is the only surviving bloodline of Feng Kingdom’s Crown Princess who was lost abroad.”

“She is the heir apparent of Feng Kingdom.”

“Naturally, Feng Kingdom’s rules should apply to her.”

What?!

The civil and military officials were utterly shocked.

Those pouring wine froze in place, letting it overflow from the cups.

Those eating had already put food into their mouths but forgot to chew.

Jiang Shi stared in disbelief, her mouth forming a perfect O.

The Empress looked at Tang Wan as though she had seen a ghost.

The First Prince and Third Prince wore expressions identical to the Empress’s.

Prime Minister Gu.

Grand Tutor Yi.

Every official present looked as though their souls had been blasted from their bodies.

The emperor himself was stunned.

He had never imagined that Ling Shang would reveal Tang Wan’s identity so directly.

Silence descended upon the hall.

Utter silence.

A long, long time passed.

Finally, it was Tang Wan herself who recovered first.

She turned to Murong Hong with a puzzled expression.

“Dad… is this true?”

Dad?

The uninformed officials were thrown into confusion all over again.

Murong Hong touched the tip of his nose, looking somewhat guilty.

But now that Ling Shang had already revealed everything, there was no point hiding it anymore.

He nodded, confirming the National Preceptor’s words.

“I never told you this before.”

“Your mother was named Tang Fenghua.”

“She was the Crown Princess of Feng Kingdom.”

“Originally, I intended to honor your mother’s final wishes and let you live a happy life as an ordinary commoner.”

“But people from Feng Kingdom found me and brought both me and your two brothers back.”

“The current Empress of Feng Kingdom is advanced in years. When she learned that the Crown Princess had already passed away, she was heartbroken.”

“She has no daughters of her own.”

“You are her only legitimate granddaughter.”

“After learning of your existence, she specifically sent the National Preceptor and me here to bring you back home.”
