Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

Chapter 696: Running away

Lord Fei looked at his troublemaker nephew and couldn't help but sigh, the leap of becoming his maternal nephew from grand paternal one was really big, if his sister was to find out that she suddenly gained another grandson and that too one that was this crazy and troublemaking then she might as well fight it to death with the Emperor, however, it would be alright to say that he was his nephew after all given that he was the younger brother of the crown prince and the third in a line of the throne but of course, the fact that he introduced himself as his nephew instead of his grand-nephew made him a bit uncomfortable.

He understood that the third prince was trying hard to ignore any sort of suspicion but jumping up seniority and becoming the brother of his own father was really another point crazy right? The reason Fei Qinfan was with him was simple, he ran away from home. That's right, a prince, who had every comfort in the palace ran away from his house after getting annoyed by the teachings of his brother. What started as something as small as a woman rushing up to Fei Qinfan and proclaiming that she was the mother of his unborn child ended up getting a rather huge mess— the matter was simple, they just needed to find the person who was behind this sudden move and end it then and there, however, things ended up getting bigger and bigger.

The woman who claimed that she was the mother of Fei Qinfan's child made a huge fuss, going as far as hanging herself in front of the house of Fei Qinfan's fiancée. She claimed that Fei Qinfan has soiled her purity and then abandoned her in a small courtyard promising that he would come back for her, that was why she has been waiting for him and even kept the seed that he has sowed in her womb.

But after waiting for so long neither Fei Qinfan returned nor did he send any word back home, leaving her flustered. After her family found out about this matter, she was kicked out of the village and somehow managed to come to the capital by begging throughout the journey, she further insisted that she only wanted to look for the father of her child who has left her behind but she has never known that the man she was looking for was the third prince of the country and was also going to be married soon.

What was even more surprising was that the woman was able to find the perfect time that was to say when Fei Qinfan was having fun horse riding with the nobles, no one knew who let her in or how she sneaked in all they knew was that she suddenly rushed in front of Fei Qinfan's horse and shouted at him to either kill her or accept her along with her child, as he promised when they were together.

Fei Qinfan who was schemed against naturally refused to accept the woman and asked her not to bring any bastard to his palace by claiming a relationship with him, unlike his elder brother he was far more hot-tempered and ended up saying quite a few hurtful things that made the woman go crazy enough to hang herself right in front of Fei Qinfan's fiancée's house.

After that the outcome was simple, the fiancée's family broke up the marriage with Fei Qinfan, saying that they wouldn't dare to get their daughter married to a prince with such an unclean background. It was fine if he was going to have an affair but instead of having an affair with a noble and classy woman of the capital, he went ahead and had an affair with a small village girl and that too who was this big of a shrew? They couldn't withstand such a heavy taste of the third prince, what if really accepts that woman as his wife?

Then wouldn't their daughter suffer? So, the result of the entire thing was that the engagement was broken away.

Fei Qinfan really liked this fiancée of his and when he found out that his fiancée left him because of some nasty and untrue rumours, he almost went mad and for once in his life, he seriously looked for a way to catch the culprit who was behind this mess.

And he did find it, it was none other than the second concubine of his father, upset at being schemed like that by the woman of his father's harem, Fei Qinfan went ahead and thought of an even bigger scheme and the next day not only did he catch the woman who made trouble for him, he made it so that the broken shoe and her insole were both pushed inside the courtyard of the second prince.

That was to say that the third prince schemed against the second prince in a manner that the woman and her unborn child were pushed into the courtyard of the second prince.

However, this was not the problem at all... the problem was that the third prince actually left blatant evidence to show the second Concubine and her son that he was the one behind it.

The third prince was the biological son of the Empress and the crown prince's third brother, so of course, whatever he did, he would not be the only one who would be severely criticised. This time along with him, the crown prince and the Empress were criticised as well, leading to a fight being broken between the brothers where the crown prince taught his brother a thorough lesson this time he was backed by the Empress, making the third prince so angry that he packed his bags and turned around to run away from the palace, th the current situation arose.

The crown prince was furious at what his brother did and while Fei Qinfan was upset that his father and brother took sides with the second concubine and her son instead of him, it was him who lost his fiancée but in the end, he was the one who was punished by his elder brother? Furious, he packed up his bags and left the palace leaving the Emperor and the Empress with a headache..
