Chapter 5322: Rest Assured

He immediately realized he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to salvage it, "Your father isn't anxious, only I am, alright? Your husband is extremely anxious."

Princess Wushuang snorted, then remained silent.

The little Crown Princess pursed her small lips, tugging at Wushuang's sleeve. "Wushuang, just marry with peace of mind. If Fu San dares to treat you badly, I'll beat him to death for you."

Third Young Master Fu: "..." Why do I feel so uneasy?

He felt a chill down the back of his neck. When he saw the little Crown Princess's sharp glance, Third Young Master's body stiffened. Oh, my little grand-aunt, it's not easy for him to marry his wife; how could he dare to treat her even slightly badly?

He looked to Crown Prince Mo, who was watching from the sidelines, for help. Third Young Master tilted his chin at him, meaning, hurry and say something for your brother.

Mo Lian cleared his throat and reluctantly spoke, "Qiao Qiao, rest assured, Fu San is not like Royal Uncle."

Royal Uncle? Who? A bad premonition flashed through Third Young Master Fu's mind.

"He's like old Prince Jianping, an old man with a bunch of concubines, whom my wife dislikes the most," Mo Lian said seriously.

Third Young Master Fu quickly grabbed Princess Wushuang's hand and swore, "Wifey, it wasn't easy for me to marry you. Rest assured, there will be no one else, never."

The little Crown Princess pursed her lips, rubbing salt into Third Young Master Fu's wound. "That Miss Bao of yours probably hasn't been dealt with properly yet."

Miss Bao? What Miss Bao?

Seeing his wife's expression change slightly, Third Young Master Fu's heart sank. He quickly said, "There's no Miss Bao. Wifey, rest assured, we don't need to bother with such irrelevant people."

Princess Wushuang also felt a bit annoyed. "Not bothering with her? That Miss Bao is constantly dreaming of marrying into your General's Residence!"

The Bao family's tradition was probably like this: specifically teaching their daughters how to scheme and climb the social ladder. Princess Wushuang had secretly investigated Bao Cuiping's family. This family was truly peculiar; every woman who came out of the Bao family was either a secondary wife or a concubine, none of them were legitimate wives.

The Bao family's old master had built his wealth and status by selling his daughters for glory.

After that, the Bao family continued to follow the old master's path, constantly selling their daughters to gain honor and benefits. This had probably become their Bao family's tradition. Bao Cuiping was an outstanding example among them.

She usually lived with her maternal aunt, Great Madam Bao, and was as close to her as a mother and daughter. Her aunt was also a particularly peculiar person. Even though the Empress Dowager had already issued an imperial decree of marriage for her niece and her own son, this Great Madam Bao still tried to scheme and marry Bao Cuiping to Third Young Master Fu. She was truly a person with an incredibly strange way of thinking.

He didn't know what she was thinking, as if she had gotten stuck in a dead end, unable to get out.

Third Young Master Fu also felt a surge of frustration when Bao Cuiping was mentioned. Meeting a persistent nuisance that he couldn't shake off was truly a bitter experience.

He held Princess Wushuang's small hand and said to her with a smile, "Wifey, just marry your husband with peace of mind. All other minor matters, leave them to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Crown Prince Mo looked at Third Young Master Fu in astonishment.

This truly is... a brother-in-arms!

How did he, sitting here perfectly fine, inexplicably get caught in the crossfire?

"How do you want me to help you?" Crown Prince Mo asked, speechless.

"I want to borrow some people from the Crown Prince. I always feel that the day will be chaotic."
