After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

477 The truth behind his pampering

Liang Yujun swept a cold and sharp gaze over Liang Mingyu.

“They’ve been arrogant for so long, it’s about time.”

Outsiders really thought that he truly loved the princess consort, but in reality, ha ha ha.

For a woman who had another man in her heart, he would be crazy to love her lowly.

He wasn’t an idiot like the third prince, who would be led by the nose by a woman.

Back then, although Ruan Songling had helped him, she was not his life-saving grace.

He had hidden in one of the rooms where she lived and avoided his pursuers.

Moreover, she was forced to do so, so he could naturally tell.

Originally, he thought that no matter what, she had helped him once, so he gave her something to dismiss her.

Who would have thought that Ruan Songling would take advantage of his identity to return home after helping him once?

At that time, she had aroused his interest.

He did not like soft women, but like fierce and prickly ones.

Therefore, he went along with her and helped her.

Then, with the help of his influence, she successfully brought herself and her mother home and settled her father’s beloved concubine.

At that time, he was lacking a ruthless and capable princess consort, so he felt that she was more suitable.

Her attitude towards him was also cold, which spurred his cravings to conquer her.

He had secretly investigated the candidates his mother had given him.

They were either too gentle or too similar in character. He was not interested in them.

He did like Ruan Songling back then.

Because of this, he proposed to marry her to be his princess consort, just to numb his other brothers.

When the Ruan family found out about this, they were particularly happy, and Ruan Songling did not object.

However, after he married her, he realized that Ruan Songling had been thinking about that sickly Liang Yulin.

She was getting information about Liang Yulin behind his back on a number of occasions.

Before she married him, she had even thought of marrying Liang Yulin.

This made him feel like he had been cuckolded.

Other than this, she still thought that he would marry no one but her, that he loved her to the core, hence she had always been arrogant.

Most importantly, after she married into Prince Jin’s residence, she was gradually no different from those women in the backyard.

He thought that she would use his influence to teach her biological father and her maternal family a good lesson, and it would be best if she could completely suppress them.

Who knew that not only did she not do so, but she also asked him to help support her maternal family.

It was so that she could put on a show every time she returned to her mother’s house, and her biological father would be obedient and flatter her.

She also did not take revenge on her siblings who had bullied her.

On the contrary, as long as they lowered their heads and begged, she would help.

It was also the same to the outsiders.

She used her identity as princess consort mainly to show off and use her identity to suppress those who had once looked down on her.

However, she didn’t seem to have created any interesting shows.

She wasn’t as vicious and scheming as she had shown in front of him at the beginning.

So he had really misjudged her.

He still admired Shi Qingluo’s personality.

As long as she was bullied, no matter who they were, she would definitely retaliate.

Be it the third prince’s wife, Xiao Yuanshi and his wife, her relatives, or the third-rank official who mocked her in public, whoever provoked her would be out of luck.

He originally thought that Ruan Songling was also this kind of person, but who knew that…

Because of this, he was very unhappy.

Thus, he came up with this tactic.

He wanted Ruan Songling to think that he truly loved her and would grant her all her requests.

This would make her especially proud out of and within her family.

It also seemed that all the real power in Prince Jin’s residence’s backyard was in her hands.

Why did he support Secondary Consort Hua in managing the royal residence and socializing with the outside world?

In fact, he did not want Ruan Songling to represent Prince Jin’s manor. He felt that she was not worthy.

Because of this, she actually didn’t like the daughter she gave birth to.

Especially since she still had many regrets and wanted to make up for them with her daughter.

When he had some comments, she would be unhappy and refute and was determined to indulge their only legitimate daughter.

Fine, then he would let them be and let them continue to act arrogantly.

In the entire Northern City, he knew that if he mentioned the princess consort and Princess Zhen behind their backs, everyone would have a bad impression of them.

They were the ones who were vicious, arrogant, and spoiled.

He hated the emperor the most, and he also hated the emperor’s brother, Prince Yi.

Ruan Songling married him, but she was still thinking about Prince Yi. This was totally stepping on his bottom line.

That was why he was prepared to push her up to the top and then pull her down into the abyss.

He wanted to let her see how her family’s attitude changed after she fell into the quagmire.

Let her be ridiculed and experience the added insult to her misfortune from those who had once siding with her.

Only when one lost something after obtaining it would one feel pain and regret.

He wanted her to know that without him, Prince Jin, she was nothing.

If she dared to have other thoughts apart from him and act arrogantly in front of him, she would have to bear the consequences of being punished.

He had originally planned to wait for the rebellion to succeed, ascend the throne, and let her be the empress for a period of time.

After enjoying the highest honor a woman could in this world, he would depose the empress and banish her to the place where the wives and concubines of the royal class congregate when they fell from favor.

He wanted her to have a taste of the fickleness of the human world and return to the life where she had to earn her own living in her own manor.

In particular, her recent actions had really disgusted him.

His imperial mother had endured enough and asked him to carry out the plan ahead of time.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he decided to utilize the waste well.

It was worth it to exchange Shi Qingluo and her husband’s loyalty for a princess consort that he doted on to the extreme on the surface.

Previously, he had agreed to let Liang Mingmin go to Heyang County because he had also guessed that his daughter would continue to stir trouble.

She would definitely attack Shi Qingluo, who had a good reputation, and she would also take a fancy to the good-looking and capable Xiao Hanzheng.

When that fool had enough of Shi Qingluo and her husband’s pranking and she bullied them, Shi Qingluo would most likely take the initiative to look for him.

At that time, he would give her face and ‘painfully’ punish his most beloved daughter for her.

It was also because of this that he had been waiting for Shi Qingluo to take the initiative to come to him.

This allowed him to be in a lead to recruit her and negotiate the conditions.

However, he really didn’t expect that his legitimate daughter, who had always been arrogant and unbridled in Northern City, successful in bullying people, would actually be defeated by Shi Qingluo.

She almost couldn’t stay in Heyang County anymore.

It was extremely embarrassing.

He did not expect Shi Qingluo to not play by the rules and offer the potatoes.

Then, she personally sent them to the capital and let the emperor slap her in the face.

All his plans had been disrupted.

Therefore, he could only send his “beloved” princess consort to her.

Especially when he had just received news.

Because Xiao Hanzheng’s mother, Mdm Kong had saved Liang Yulin, he had been tagging along with her recently.

It seemed that he had taken a fancy to Mdm Kong.

He couldn’t understand why Liang Yulin, who had been living like a monk for more than thirty years, had such taste…

More importantly, Mdm Kong didn’t pay much attention to Liang Yulin.

If he were him, he would never have taken a fancy to Mdm Kong.

Once she married into the family, he would have grown-up sons and a daughter. He didn’t know if Liang Yulin’s brain was damaged.

However, he was happy to see this happen.

This would definitely stimulate the self-righteous Ruan Songling and make her unable to resist jumping around.

Then, he would have no choice but to prioritize his righteousness over his family.

Not only would he be able to give Shi Qingluo and her husband an explanation, but he would also be able to help the people of Daliang in the northern border change the bad reputation that Liang Mingmin’s demonic acts had brought to him.
