Liang Hengxiao was no longer bothered to waste his breath on Fu Wenzheng.

“From now on, you should properly enjoy the treatment that a concubine should receive.

“Let’s see if I, the prince, will instead be threatened and suppressed by your Northern Jing marquisedom.

“Take care of yourself.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and left.

Fu Wenzheng had not expected that the reason why Liang Hengxiao had married her was actually because of the handheld stove.

Previously, she had guessed that Liang Hengxiao liked her as he had misunderstood something.

But he had deliberately never exposed it, insisting that he liked her.

Now, she could not accept this fact. “No, you can’t treat me like this.”

Liang Hengxiao stopped in his tracks. “Since you’re not the one who gave me the handheld stove and ointment, I’ll naturally treat you the way I want to treat you.”

The reason why he had kicked the door open and exposed this matter was that he did not want to face Fu Wenzheng anymore.

He hoped that she knew what was going on.

However, it was clear that this woman was too self-centred.

Fu Wenzheng felt extremely uncomfortable.

She sneered. “Are you going to look for my cousin?

“Then don’t even think about it. She got married half a year ago.

“Unless you try to steal someone else’s wife, you can forget about getting what you want.”

At this moment, she could not accept that Liang Hengxiao was no longer pampering her.

Liang Hengxiao also sneered, “I’m not as cruel and overbearing as you are.

“From now on, all those things in the past will vanish into thin air.”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Wenzheng to say anything else, he shook off her hand that had come over to pull him and left resolutely.

Only Fu Wenzheng’s loud scolding was heard as he left.

Looking at Liang Hengxiao’s disappearing figure, Fu Wenzheng did not suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and did not know why.

It was as if something important had disappeared along with him.

Kneeling on the ground, she cried and scolded, “You bastard, what right do you have to treat me like this? How can you not continue to treat me well?”

After crying for a while, she just wanted to vent her anger.

Hence, she stood up and asked, “Where’s Yan’er?”

If it wasn’t for that little b * tch suddenly bringing up these matters, how could she have said these words and let Liang Hengxiao hear it.

She wanted to skin that b * tch alive.

Her personal servant also recovered from her shock and said, “I will go and look for her now.”

She naturally thought of this matter as well, and her heart was filled with hatred towards Yan’er.

However, after searching around and not finding anyone, she had a bad premonition in her heart.

That little slut probably wanted to harm their young lady on purpose.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and return to Fu Wenzheng.

Fu Wenzheng’s expression turned savage. “Find her, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find that little slut for me.”

She actually wanted to harm her.

She had to make the second prince kill that little slut’s whole family.

On the other hand, Liang Hengxiao went to sit in his study room for the entire night.

After daybreak, he suddenly understood the situation better.

He thought about it for the entire night.

Putting aside his identity, he was fooled by a woman and was schemed by the Fu family.

His father would not let him rise up the throne.

He actually did not like to scheme against others.

What he wanted and yearned for in the past, suddenly felt meaningless.

As for going to find Fu Wenzheng’s cousin, he had not thought about it.

She was already married, and he did not want to disturb her.

Moreover, he finally understood that the so-called love he had was just for the warmth he enjoyed as a youth.

He would instruct someone to secretly take care of Fu Wenzheng’s cousin, but he would not have any more thoughts.

He would treat the warmth he once had as the moon in the water reflection.

There goes his throne, there goes his power.

He did not care anymore.

He took out the account books from the secret compartment.

He did not destroy them. Instead, he placed them in a box.

He carried them straight into the palace.

Although the emperor was very disappointed in his son, he still gave him an audience.

Liang Hengxiao first bowed and then took the initiative to tell him that he recognised the wrong person and his connection with the Jiangnan officials.

Of course, this included the Fu family scheming against him.

He even took the initiative to hand over the account book and evidence.

The emperor did not expect that his third son was infatuated by Fu Wenzheng because of this.

At this moment, he felt a little guilty but also very angry towards Fu Wenzheng and the Fu family.

So what if his son was born from a palace maid? How could the Fu family dare to scheme and disrespect him like this.

The Fu family had even violated his greatest taboo, causing trouble between his two sons and ruining their brotherhood.

The emperor was also a father, so he naturally hoped that his sons could get along well.

Even though he knew that the possibility was not high, he still hoped that there would be such a day.

He was silent for a moment before sighing. “What do you want to do now?”

Liang Xiao Heng shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Then, he added, “I want to leave the capital as far away as possible.”

He was really annoyed.

The emperor saw through his thoughts, but he still asked tentatively, “What if I let you guard the imperial mausoleum?”

Liang Hengxiao was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly. “Then I will guard the Imperial mausoleum.”

The emperor thought to himself, can you be a little ambitious?

He did not feel good in his heart.

Even if he did not dote on him, he was still his biological son.

“Forget it. Guarding the imperial mausoleum is not suitable for you.”

He snorted and said, “You’re still young. Don’t be unambitious.”

Liang Hengxiao uttered under his breath, if he was as ambitious as before, his father would probably scold him and be wary of him again.

He did not reply.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, “You should go to the northern border.”

Liang Hengxiao raised his head. “Go to the northern border?”

The emperor replied, “Yes, go to the northern border.

“Other than being silly about women, you are pretty good at handling civil and military matters.

“That’s why I have an important task for you.”

Liang Hengxiao was stunned again. “Important task? Can I, your son, do it?”

The emperor glanced at him. “You are my son. If I say you can, you can”

It was good that this son had given up on that path.

He could groom him to be a good minister in the future.

“Go to the northern border. Keep an eye on your royal uncle and the Ge Kingdom. I will leave this huge responsibility to you.”

He had been looking for a suitable person.

At the beginning, he had considered Xiao Yuanshi.

But now, he realised that Xiao Yuanshi’s marketing skills were too good.

He had almost deceived him.

He could not be trusted upon.

It was just the right momentthat this son had come to his doorstep.

After all, he was his son.

No matter what, he would not be inferior to Xiao Yuanshi.

Liang Hengxiao had mixed feelings when his father, who had always been cold to him, suddenly worshipped and trusted him.

So, his father actually still cared about this son of his?

It was just that his father had been so cold and disappointed when he had asked for things that did not belong to him in the past.

As expected, he deserved it.

He half-kneeled and said, “Yes, I will definitely not let you down, father.”

Then, the emperor gave an order to send the third prince, Liang Hengxiao, as the provincial governor of the northern border.

He would leave for his post ten days later.

This order shocked all the courtiers and aristocratic families in the capital.

Why did the emperor suddenly do this?

The provincial governor had the military, the people, and finance under his jurisdiction.

This position was extremely important.

Why was it given to the third prince?

Xiao Hanzheng was also a little surprised when he received the news.

He did not expect that his plan to take revenge on Fu Wenzheng would not only change the third prince’s fate of being punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, but also give him an opportunity to get such a good position.
