Xiao Yunci slowly stepped out from the darkness, with a faint smile on his face but cold eyes.

He explained in a calm voice, "This veil was made by the best embroiderers in the palace over five days without sleep. It is worth a thousand gold. This phoenix crown has been handed down from the beginning of the Northern Ming Dynasty to the present day. The wire and gold on it are very fine, and it is easy to get caught on the veil. If you force it apart, the whole thing will be destroyed. If you can afford to compensate for these two treasures, just lift up her veil and try."

Qi Weiming heard a hint of warning in Xiao Yunci's words.

He frowned as he looked at her crown, which looked extremely gorgeous and complicated under the veil. He knew that what Xiao Yunci said was true, so he had to give up.

"Brother Zhaoyan, your trespassing has been reported to the public. I will explain to everyone that it was done by an outsider, a scoundrel, but I will not reveal your name." Xiao Yunci said with a faint smile, "Now that you are in this state... do you still want to attend the wedding?"

Qi Weiming was in so much pain all over his body, and he looked so miserable, how could he still want to drink at the wedding? He could only shake his head and say, "I'll leave today."

"Then I'll have someone send you out through the back door so that you won't be seen by the guests." Xiao Yunci said.

Qi Weiming had no choice but to clasp his hands and say, "Thank you very much, Your Highness!"

He was "invited" out by the guards of the Prince's Mansion. Although Xiao Yunci spoke politely, the guards still looked down on him and pushed and shoved him all the way, making him lose face. But now his handle was caught by others. If outsiders knew that he had broken into the Prince's Consort's bridal chamber, he would never be able to marry any noble lady from the capital again.

Things had come to a point where he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger as he left the Prince's Mansion in a panic through the shabby little door.

But today was not without gain... He was sure of Wen Ning's feelings! Since it was a fake marriage, he had nothing to be jealous about. He just had to wait quietly for Xiao Yunci to divorce Wen Ning.

As for Xiao Yunci's attitude towards Wen Ning, he had nothing to worry about.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been focused on the court, and has never had any women in his eyes. Moreover, he had lived with Wen Ning when he was young. At that time, Wen Ning called him sister all the time, but he had no reaction.

Besides, Xiao Yunci has never been kind to others. How could Wen Ning be happy with him?

Wen Ning has been accustomed to being pampered by her husband. Only when she changes to someone who is cold-hearted and indifferent can she know how good she is.

Look at how Xiao Yunci felt sorry for the phoenix crown and the veil just now... He didn't even feel sorry for Wen Ning at all. He is really a weirdo who has no woman in his heart.

Qi Weiming curled the corners of his mouth, returned to his own carriage and went back home, feeling relieved.

On the other side, in the bridal chamber, Wen Ning was feeling a little depressed.

Everything was clearly going according to their plan, but now she still felt that something had changed, something very strange. It wasn't her who had changed, but Qi Weiming.

He clearly said the same things as before, but when she couldn't see his expression and only heard his voice, Wen Ning noticed that the tone of his voice was a little different from before.
