Chapter 315: You Don’t Even Care About Your Dignity
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Mi never thought that Han Chi would tell her all of this.
Her eyes were slightly red.
“I just don’t want to be like Mother…”
Tears suddenly rolled down her face.
Han Chi hurriedly wiped her tears, “You’re not your mother, and I’m not like your father.”
“I know I’m young, but I know what I want.”
His mind was clear from the beginning to the end.
Whether it was acknowledging his mother, studying, practicing martial arts, or getting married, he knew what he wanted and what kind of woman he wanted to marry.
He had his own plans.
Li Mi looked at Han Chi and said softly, “I believe you, but if you don’t like me in the future and fall in love with someone else, you must tell me. We can separate. Please don’t embarrass me. Don’t bring her to me either. I can’t take it.”
She thought about what would happen if Han Chi fell in love with someone else in the future.
Her heart ached.
“Idiot.”
Han Chi was never someone who would change his mind when he saw different things.
He had been able to escape from desperate situations time and time again. He couldn’t do so without strong willpower.
Some words were meaningless.
He pursued material possessions, fame, and love.
He had to protect his family.
Perhaps others would say, ‘You’re only thirteen years old, what do you know about love?’
However, how many thirteen-year-old brats have experienced life and death?
Han Chi coaxed Li Mi softly.
He was already very good-looking, and now he was even more elegant and had an extraordinary bearing.
When he coaxed people like this, he looked even gentler.
Not far away, Li Wenya pulled her handkerchief angrily.
She kept thinking in her heart, ‘Why?’
Why?
She was the princess of the prince’s manor. Why should the Heng family reject her father’s proposal?
Of course, it was mostly jealousy.
She knew that Han Chi would be able to rank first place in the preliminary examination. As long as he continued to work hard, his future would be limitless.
Naturally, she also knew that her father wanted to betroth her to Han Chi, not only because of Han Chi but also because of Han Chi’s father…
However, his family was very shameless. They actually dared to refuse!
Li Wenya whispered a few instructions into the servant girl’s ear, and the servant girl immediately went down to make arrangements.
In a short while, a few servant girls and old women rushed over with sticks in their hands.
Their mouths were full of vulgarities.
When she saw the two people in the pavilion, the leading old woman instantly understood that they had been schemed against.
Li Mi stood in the pavilion and said in a deep voice, “Go down and receive your punishment.”
To disturb them at this time.
They were simply courting death.
Although she was a little naive, she was not a fool.
Naturally, she understood that there were people who couldn’t bear to see her happy.
As for who this person was, she would find out tomorrow.
A few old maids and servant girls immediately retreated in fear.
Li Mi turned to Han Chi apologetically, “I’ve made a fool of myself.”
“What kind of joke is this? Someone did this because they couldn’t bear to see you doing well and deliberately dragged your dignity into the mud!” Han Chi fumed.
Li Mi was slightly surprised.
She did not understand why her father could not understand something that even Han Chi could understand.
Perhaps he didn’t love her.
Her father didn’t love her mother, so he probably didn’t understand anything.
Thinking of this, Li Mi couldn’t help but feel a little touched by Han Chi’s words
Compared to the two of them cultivating their relationship, the wives in the hall were chatting enthusiastically.
Most of them were praising Han Chi and Li Mi for their good fortune.
The Gong Prince’s consort smiled from ear to ear.
By noon, Han Qiao and the others had to leave.
Li Mi personally sent them to the door.
After everyone got into the carriage, Han Chi mounted the horse in one go, looking extremely handsome.
Han Chi looked at Li Mi and mouthed silently.
Li Mi didn’t know what he said at all.
In the past, she did not even dare to look at him directly. Now that he was her fiance, she could only look at him in the face.
After everyone left.
Li Zhao pulled Li Mi, “They’ve already walked far away. Why are you still watching?”
Li Mi glared at her brother.
She held her mother’s hand and told her about what had happened earlier.
“What do you plan to do about this?” The Gong Prince’s consort asked.
“Mother, 1 want to handle this matter myself. Can you give me some pointers?”
The Gong Prince’s consort smiled.
She held her daughter’s hand tightly, “You’ve grown up.”
Her daughter was innocent and naive. She basically did not care about the matters in the manor. Now that she was engaged, she was willing to take care of some responsibilities. It was a good thing, but it was also not.
“Mi’er…”
“Mother, I’m willing. I’ve thought it through. When I marry Han Chi in the future, 1’11 need to learn how to manage a house!”

The Gong Prince’s consort was surprised.
“Mother, do you think Auntie is willing to stay at home and take care of the house? She’s wasting her talent in the inner residence, and I don’t want to go out to do business. If she’s willing to let me be the housekeeper, I will take care of her. If she’s unwilling… It’s never wrong to have more skills.”
“You.” The Gong Prince Consort smiled, “That makes sense. Even if it doesn’t work, there’s still the dowry to take care of.”
“Then Mother, give me more dowry.”
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll give it all to you.”
The mother and daughter went to the main courtyard with a smile.
The Gong Prince coincidentally bumped into them and both mother and daughter were stunned.
“Your Highness.”
“Greetings, Father.”
Their expressions were indifferent.
The Gong Prince looked at the mother and daughter.
In the past, his wife did not have any feelings for him, but she was respectful and passionate. Now, she was cold and indifferent. She had already turned a blind eye to him.
He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Li Mi interjected.
“When 1 was talking to Han Chi in the pavilion earlier, a few old women came over with sticks and said filthy words. Father, do you think this matter needs to be investigated?”
H
I
The Gong Prince instantly understood.
Li Mi had already guessed who instructed those maids. A thorough investigation naturally would find the person behind the scenes.
Who was the mastermind?
No one had the guts to think about it.
“Mi’er…”
“Father, I understand. You can go and do your work. 1 will return to the courtyard with Mother.”
After Li Mi finished speaking, she supported the Gong Prince’s consort and walked away.
The Gong Prince couldn’t even speak.
The mother and daughter had already walked far away.
He suddenly had a feeling that he had been abandoned by his wife and children.
His son had been avoiding him for the past few days.
His wife ignored him, and his daughter seemed to be completely disappointed today.
He suddenly panicked.
He hurriedly chased after them, but before he could
“Your Highness, Secondary Consort Wen fainted!”
The Gong Prince’s brows furrowed and he turned to go to the courtyard of the Secondary Consort Wen.
Secondary Consort Wen was pregnant.
About two months.
Why did she have to inform him of this today? Naturally, it was to gain favor and to disgust the Gong Prince’s consort. It was also because of what Li Wenya had done. She had to clean up after her daughter.
Was the Gong Prince happy?
He was naturally happy to have another child, but he was not particularly happy to be told at that moment.
He did not look forward to the arrival of this child.
Anticipation…
He suddenly remembered that before Zhao’er was born, he had been looking forward to his birth.
At that time, he could feel the change with the Princess Consort. She began from being uncomfortable with him and slowly had attachment and love for him.
When did the Princess Consort’s attitude towards him change?
It all began with Secondary Consort Wen.
It was probably because when she gave birth to Li Mi, he had Secondary Consort Wen. She seemed to have cooled down for a period of time, and then she was the same as before.
However, he could feel that something was different.
The love and attachment in Consort Fei’s eyes were gone.
“Your Highness…” Consort Wen called out softly.
The Gong Prince came back to his senses, “Take care of Wenya. Don’t provoke the Princess Consort.”
“And don’t use some underhanded tricks.”
“Take good care of your pregnancy. Don’t wander around for no reason.”
This time, she was not grounded.
But this warning sounded more terrifying than being grounded..
