”Your Highness, if it really is the Fourth Prince, how should we handle it?”

Su Xinlie asked the most critical question.

To him, it seemed like a problem, but to the Ninth Prince, it was not: ”If gods block my way, I will kill gods; if Buddhas block my way, I will kill Buddhas! I’m not afraid of the Crown Prince; do you think I’d be afraid of the Fourth Prince?”

The Ninth Prince’s eyes revealed a fierce glint: ”Keep a close watch on the Fourth Prince for me.”

”Also, Qin Tian, I must deal with him now. Hmph, no matter whose person he is, he went to the East Capital, killed my people, seized my territory, and now he returns, even promoted! If I let him live peacefully, I am not fit to be a prince!”

The Ninth Prince turned to look at Su Xinlie and said, ”Given that Qin Tian’s cultivation has reached the Great Immortal Realm, it seems we need to bring out that person.”

”Just to deal with Qin Tian, to have the elder take action?” Su Xinlie was stunned.

”Hmph, at this point, do we have a chance to kill Qin Tian with our covert schemes?”

The Ninth Prince stared at Su Xinlie with this question, stumping him.

Previously, they employed various measures, but Qin Tian always managed to escape peril.

Now, they must employ the most deadly and aggressive means to forcibly eliminate Qin Tian!

Su Xinlie thought for a moment and nodded: ”Indeed, regardless of whose person Qin Tian is, one thing is certain; he is not ours. So, eliminating him greatly benefits us.”

”Moreover, Qin Tian has now become a powerful force in the court, not only commanding hundreds of thousands of troops but even having a batch of old ministers speaking for him. It’s time for us to take the toughest measures, or else nurturing a tiger will cause trouble!”

The two exchanged a glance, and the Ninth Prince said, ”I will invite the elder to take action tomorrow. Since he is stepping in, we must intensify our arrangements, expand our influence, and completely crush the Crown Prince’s hopes!”

…

Qiao Wenxuan returned and was heartbroken for a while.

She asked Fan Bing and Du Qiuniang to accompany her, to comfort her, and after four or five days, her complexion improved significantly.

The three women were quite strange, especially Qiao Wenxuan and Fan Bing. When together, they always talked about previous acquaintances with him, yet never broke the last barrier—

Who was his woman first.

Fan Bing and Du Qiuniang knew, but Qiao Wenxuan wasn’t very clear. She only remembered him mentioning a woman named Murong Fei, and she hadn’t heard of Fan Bing and Du Qiuniang.

”Sister Bing, should I call you elder sister?”

In the Spiritual Domain, a man having multiple wives was normal. Qiao Wenxuan came to the Imperial City expecting Fan Bing to be the primary wife, so she asked, breaking that barrier.

Hearing this, Fan Bing and Du Qiuniang exchanged a glance and both smiled discreetly.

Fan Bing shook her head: ”You should still call me Sister Bing; don’t call me elder sister, I’m not.”

”Is it you, Sister Qiuniang?”

Du Qiuniang also shook her head: ”It’s not me; I’m not. I’m the young master’s maid, Wenxuan. Let’s not be formal; just call me Qiuniang.”

Seeing Qiao Wenxuan a bit at a loss, Fan Bing said to her: ”For the title of elder sister, don’t rush; soon enough, the elder sister will appear.”

”Who is it? Not with you all?”

”No, she hasn’t married into the family yet. But she already has the position of the main wife reserved, hehe, I have no objection, watching them come together.”

”Then... what is the future elder sister’s name?”

”Murong Fei.”

”Oh...”

Qiao Wenxuan realized, understanding: ”Where is elder sister now; why isn’t she living with us?”

”She’s from the Murong Family in the Imperial City; currently because...”

Fan Bing slowly began explaining the story of the Murong Family and Qin Tian to Qiao Wenxuan...

”The young master is back?”

Qin Tian returned from the Fourteenth Prince’s palace; the three women saw Qin Tian and were delighted.

”Dinner, I thought you were having dinner with the Fourteenth Prince... if you came back late, you wouldn’t have dinner left.”

Seeing Qin Tian, Fan Bing immediately instructed the servants to prepare dinner.

”The Fourteenth Prince had engagements tonight, so I managed to slip away, haha.”

Qin Tian returned, looking at Qiao Wenxuan and asked, ”Feeling better now?”

”Much better.”

Qiao Wenxuan replied shyly.

”Then let’s eat; it’s been a while since we’ve all sat down to dinner together.”

Qin Tian sat, surrounded by the three women, and Fan Bing commented, ”Qin Tian, now that things have stabilized and you’ve become Marquis Qin, isn’t it time to resolve the issue with Murong Fei?”

As soon as this was said, Qiao Wenxuan and Du Qiuniang both curiously looked at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian nodded without hesitation: ”It is time to resolve it. In recent days, I’ve been indirectly gathering information from Murong Ao and the Fourteenth Prince. Recently, the Murong Family has gotten close to the Ninth Prince, and Murong Tiannan seems agitated, trying to cling to the Ninth Prince, which may ruin their entire family. I must step in.”

Fan Bing nodded: ”Yes, regardless of whether Murong Tiannan admits it or not, you are the Murong Family’s son-in-law, and you must help them avoid going down the wrong path.”

”Right now, Murong Tiannan is just too irritable, and I’m figuring out a way...”

Qin Tian pondered, seeing his three women thinking along with him; he quickly waved his hand: ”Let’s stop thinking about it; let’s eat first, and the matter is not difficult to resolve...”

…

In truth, the current situation with the Murong Family is not easy to resolve.

Qin Tian now finds it difficult to meet Murong Tiannan; that stubborn old man, even if later proven gravely wrong, will never admit it.

If not for Murong Fei even resorting to threats of suicide, Murong Tiannan might have married her off long ago.

Yesterday, Qin Tian got news from Murong Ao that Murong Tiannan, seemingly agitated, was seeking a match for Murong Fei, considering a noble from a Marquis family. Seeing Murong Tiannan’s stance, Qin Tian becoming a noble beyond the Murong Family only angered him more, provoking him against Qin Tian.

At this point, Qin Tian wouldn’t get into a dispute with him. After hearing that Murong Tiannan connected with the South State Marquis, hoping to marry Murong Fei to the South State Marquis’s second son, Qin Tian directly visited the South State Marquis.

This South State Marquis is a civil servant, inheriting his title from his father; though a Marquis, in the court he lacks military power and influence despite his wealth.

Thus, when the South State Marquis, Ni Yang, heard that Marquis Qin Tian was visiting, the sixty-year-old was startled, promptly coming out to welcome him personally.

It’s known that the South State Marquis title is named after a region, while Qin Tian’s Marquis Qin title is named after a family, making his title half a notch higher than the South State Marquis.

Moreover, Qin Tian is now a renowned figure in the Imperial City, and Ni Yang dared not neglect him in the slightest.
