Shouldn't Mom Having to Marry a Wife Be the More Serious Problem?

"Did I say that the person I admire is nameless and without any official status, and whose background is not even with the Heaven Dou Empire? How could I, the Crown Prince and heir apparent of a nation, marry someone who doesn't belong to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Renxue asked in return without changing her expression.

Ning Fengzhi did not intend to mention the Spirit Hall, because this point still needed to be confirmed, and what Tang San said was not true.

But what he was certain of was that Xue Qinghe was a woman.

After Tang San's reminder last time, Ning Fengzhi understood many things.

It was already suspicious that Xue Qinghe was still unmarried at this age. Considering that Xue Qinghe had always kept his distance from men, including his teacher, Ning Fengzhi became even more certain that there was something wrong with Xue Qinghe's gender.

Moreover, in Ning Fengzhi's view, if Xue Qinghe were a woman, she would be less likely to be a spy for the Spirit Hall.

Consider this: the Spirit Hall has profound resources and is planning such a grand scheme—sending someone to impersonate the Heaven Dou—why would they choose to send an inconvenient woman?

Why didn't he just send a man to impersonate the crown prince? Wouldn't that have made it less likely he'd give himself away?

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi viewed Xue Qinghe's rhetorical question as nothing more than a verbal sparring match.

He chuckled softly, "Then Your Highness should hurry up and get married. If I don't hear any good news from Your Highness in a few days, I, Ning, will personally go and act as matchmaker for my disciple."

Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Fengzhi without any expression, then led Lin Luo away.

Only after watching her figure disappear into the backyard did Chen Xin speak, "I never expected Xue Qinghe to be a woman."

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "The eldest prince is actually the eldest princess, what a strange story. This princess is quite ambitious, disguising herself as a man just to seize the throne. That explains why she's so eager for Xue Ye to die, since a woman's identity will eventually be exposed."

Chen Xin nodded. "She didn't actually have any powerful figures in the court to rely on, so she became the crown prince through her own means, which makes her quite a capable woman."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

Both mother and son are formidable figures. If only I could have them both at my disposal, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would truly be unparalleled in the world.

Just then, Ning Rongrong came over and snuggled into Ning Fengzhi's arms, muttering, "Dad, don't invite that Lin Luo over again. He has a terrible reputation at the academy."

Ning Fengzhi: "Oh? So you like Tang San?"

Upon hearing the name, Ning Rongrong blushed slightly and asked, "Why is Daddy asking this all of a sudden?"

Ning Fengzhi could easily see through his daughter's reaction. He sighed slightly and asked, "Do you still want to go to the Shrek Academy with Tang San?"

"Think."

Ning Fengzhi nodded without saying anything.

Tang San is a talented person, and so is Lin Luo. Although they are only a few years apart in age, Ning Fengzhi has already foreseen the phenomenal impact these two will have on the Douluo Continent when they grow up.

Watching Qian Renxue, her face grim, carry Lin Luo into the carriage, She Long nervously drove away, only asking after pulling a distance, "What happened, Young Master?"

Qian Renxue frowned. "Something's happened. Take a longer route to the temple, and be careful not to be followed."

"Yes, sir! Giddy up!"

The carriage sped along, Qian Renxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The thought of Bibi Dong by her side gave her a greater sense of security; in the past, she had endured all the hardships alone.

Now at least there are people to discuss things with.

"Mom's getting married," Lin Luo said with a smile.

Qian Renxue frowned. "Shut up."

She pulled Lin Luo in front of her, wrapped her long legs around Lin Luo body, and cupped Lin Luo face with her hands, making him look up at her.

Qian Renxue's face drew closer, her fragrance and the hot breath she exhaled landing on Lin Luo's cheek.

"I already know who you're dating."

Lin Luo stared at her, asking, "Who?"

"Xue Fu, the prince's granddaughter." Qian Renxue's expression was serious as she questioned again, "Don't you know the prince and I don't get along? And you're dating his granddaughter?"

Lin Luo blurted out, "It's because I knew he and my mother didn't get along that I dumped his granddaughter. I've already dumped Xue Fu."

Whether it was due to the sudden braking upon arrival at their destination, or because Qian Renxue lost her balance upon hearing those words, she tumbled off the carriage due to the swaying motion.

After getting up, Qian Renxue looked at her son in bewilderment and asked, "You... you scummed her? Where did you learn all this stuff?"

"Young Master, we've arrived."

She Long's voice came from outside, and Qian Renxue changed her appearance and quickly pulled Lin Luo into the temple.

Upon meeting Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue first told her Bibi Dong Ning Fengzhi's situation, and then told her the "truth about Lin Luo's puppy love."

Hearing the first one, Bibi Dong's expression turned serious, but upon hearing the second one, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Luo'er is amazing! Grandma is asking you, how did you make Xue Fu like you?"

Lin Luo, with a certain air of experience as a scumbag, said, "I don't know. I gave her a bouquet of flowers, and she fell for me. I asked her to kiss me, and she did."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong burst into another round of joyful praise.

Qian Renxue, however, remained calm.

She roughly understood that Xue Fu had always been interested in Lin Luo, and Lin Luo was only being nice to Xue Fu because of his mother, but in reality, he was being a jerk to her.

"Luo'er, you can't treat a naive little girl like this. You can't do it now, and you definitely can't do it when she grows up."

Qian Renxue said seriously.

Actually, I was joking just now... Lin Luo scratched his head and asked, "Does Mom mean I should stay with her?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said, "... No, but you need to apologize to her. Although we're on different sides, she's still just an innocent child like you. The grudges of our elders shouldn't be inflicted on her."

At this point, she pulled Lin Luo into her arms and said earnestly, "Luo'er, you must grow up to be a strong and upright man. How can you avenge your mother in this way? Of course, your mother doesn't want you to share our burdens either, understand?"

"Good."

"What's there to apologize for? What's wrong with deceiving someone's feelings? Aren't there plenty of people on their side who deceive others' feelings?" Bibi Dong objected, and then pulled Lin Luo back into her arms, letting him sit on her rounded lap.

Qian Renxue frowned. "Your values are warped. How can you educate a child like that? And you say I don't know how to raise a child?"

Bibi Dong retorted, "What's the use of having a good moral compass? Does it mean you'll be bullied?"

Seeing that the two were about to have a three-hundred-round battle on this issue, Lin Luo quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"Mom, Grandma, isn't the issue of Mom getting married more serious right now?"

It seems so... The two, who were already blushing from arguing, immediately realized something was wrong.
