After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Chapter 260 Let the tiger return to the mountain

Lu Hanting: "..."

The old lady shielded Wu Weiwei behind her, leaving Lu Hanting at a loss, unable to do anything about his grandmother.

The grandfather and grandson were locked in a stalemate.

Just then, Lady Hou arrived with her entourage.

"Is the matriarch well?"

The old lady was immediately displeased when she saw her daughter-in-law coming to join in the fun.

But Lady Hou didn't care whether she was happy or not.

She heard from the servants that Madam Wu had committed a grave error; the woman whom her son had rescued and placed in the Green Pine Courtyard was the one Madam Wu had ordered to be poisoned.

She was just a woman who was asleep and posed no threat, so it's unclear why Wu Weiwei couldn't tolerate her.

How can we allow such a vicious woman to remain in the Marquis's mansion?

"Grandma, please listen to me, this Wu family member cannot be allowed to live."

"Her staying here will only bring disaster to our Marquis's mansion and to Ting'er..."

The old lady was unaware of this, but she knew that Wu had cuckolded her son. How could she possibly allow such a person to remain in the Marquis's mansion?

"Liu, what do you mean?"

Does she think she's blind?

Did she really not know that she eliminated the Wu family to pave the way for Xie Ningxin?

Despite seeing the old lady's sullen face, Liu felt no fear.

She approached the old lady and whispered, "Old lady, Wu Shi cheated on Ting'er!"

"What did you say?"

Seeing this, Lady Hou took the opportunity to tell the old lady in detail about Wu Weiwei's affair with someone at Wangyue Tower the night before.

Upon hearing Liu's words, the old lady suddenly became unsteady on her feet.

Even the hand holding the cane trembled.

Liu knew that her mother-in-law would react this way after hearing the news.

Indeed, who could remain calm after finding out that their eldest grandson had been cheated on?

However, she only revealed this because she knew her mother-in-law disliked Xie Ningxin.

Her goal was simply to get rid of Wu Weiwei.

The fewer people who know about the embarrassing fact that your son has been cheated on, the better.

Wu Weiwei watched the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law whispering to each other and knew what they were talking about.

Hehe, let's make a scene, the bigger the better.

In short, she had prepared for both possibilities.

After learning the truth, the old lady stared sharply at Wu Weiwei, her previous friendly attitude completely gone.

However, the old lady's sympathetic gaze toward her eldest grandson made Lu Hanting's face darken even more.

“Ting’er, I know you’ve been wronged in this matter, but…”

After careful consideration, the old lady decided that she still could not do as her grandson wished.

She looked at her beloved grandson.

"Wu Shi did such a thing, she doesn't deserve to go to the Lu Family Nunnery to repent. Our Dingguo Marquis's Mansion is a respectable family in the capital."

"Grandmother has made the decision. You will issue her a letter of divorce, leaving her penniless. From now on, her life or death will be none of our household's concern!"

As soon as the old lady said this, Lu Hanting's pupils shrank sharply.

"Grandmother, no!"

If we were to actually grant Wu Weiwei a concubine's certificate, wouldn't that be exactly what she wanted?

The old lady turned her head and looked at her grandson.

"What? You still can't bear to part with her?"

He was practically green with envy, yet his own grandson still wouldn't let go.

Let alone putting her in a nunnery, even if she were put in prison, my grandson could still get her out if he regrets it later.

Just like Yan Yatou.

According to the old lady's thoughts, only by driving Wu Weiwei away and letting her get married and have children would her grandson give up.

What the old lady didn't know was that He Yuyan had actually married someone before, but she still couldn't escape her grandson's schemes and was managed to be snatched back.

So she's completely relying on her imagination, thinking that if Wu Weiwei is released, it would be best if she remarries.

Out of consideration for her feelings, her eldest grandson will stop bothering her.

Of course, the best way is to execute her.

However, Wu Weiwei has worked hard since entering the Marquis's mansion, even if she hasn't made any great contributions. Besides, she has been quite filial to him. If he were to execute her, he would inevitably face criticism.

"No, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with it, but rather..."

In front of everyone, Lu Hanting's face turned completely black.

Lady Hou knew that her son valued his reputation.

She twitched her lips.

"Grandma, since Madam Wu has made a mistake, then it should be Ting'er who punishes her. Please let him be!"

The old lady looked at Liu with displeasure.

"Liu, I can no longer make decisions in this Marquis's mansion, can I?"

You all seem to disregard this old woman, huh?

Now you even defy my decisions. If I'm bedridden and can't walk anymore, can you just bury me?

The old lady leaned heavily on her cane, feeling a dull ache in her chest.

"Cough cough..."

She clutched her chest, her face flushed.

Wu Weiwei, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward to help her catch her breath.

"Grandma, please calm down. It's all Wei'er's fault. You don't need to plead for me. Just do as the young master wishes!"

Wu Weiwei never expected that the old lady would be so understanding and empathetic.

Of course, she no longer believed that the old lady did so because she liked her.

In her opinion, it was mostly for the sake of the Marquis's family's reputation.

Or perhaps she was afraid that the prince might change his mind and call her back.

"Get out! From this day forward, you are no longer a member of my household. I have no need for your feigned kindness!"

The old lady pushed Wu Weiwei away.

Seeing the situation escalate like this, Lu Hanting looked coldly at Wu Weiwei, never expecting that his grandmother would plead for her.

Then look at the old lady; her face has turned pale.

Finally, Lu Hanting loosened his fist and suppressed his anger.

"Liuyun, bring me a pen!"

Although he was extremely reluctant to write this letter of divorce, it seemed that the old lady would not allow him to send Wu to the Lu family nunnery.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let go.

Liu Yun quickly took the pen.

All the onlookers saw was the prince taking up his pen and quickly writing several lines of text on the white paper.

Ru Feng handed him the seal.

Wu Weiwei caught a glimpse of the three large characters "Place Concubine's Book" on the wall out of the corner of her eye, and she smiled with satisfaction.

I never expected this. I thought she was going to go through all the trouble of faking her death, but today the old lady directly helped me escape this hellhole.

Of course, she didn't dare show her thoughts on her face, and instead silently stepped aside.

All that's left is for the heir to write the letter of release from concubine and affix the official seal, then it will be done.

"Wu, I'm releasing you today. From now on, you have nothing to do with my Dingguo Marquis's mansion, and your life and death are none of my business. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Just as Lu Hanting was about to angrily throw the letter of release from his concubine at her face, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Your Highness, you mustn't!"

He Yuyan, who was wearing a veil, hurriedly walked in.

Just now, she heard that Wu Weiwei was the murderer who killed the Red Widow, and along the way she also heard that the Old Madam was rushing over to protect her.

Fortunately, she arrived in time; otherwise, the prince's letter of divorce would have been sent out.

How could the Crown Prince grant Wu Weiwei, a woman of such viciousness, the title of concubine and give her freedom?

Wouldn't that be like letting a tiger return to the mountain?
