Chapter 69 You have one month to get married

"She and I have something to discuss." The woman raised her hand and pointed at Lu Qiniang.

Lu Qiniang: "Looking for me? Don't look for me! If you have anything to say, just talk to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan and I are not close enough to me to care about his affairs."

Don't get me wrong!

She and Xiao Yan are innocent.

"Xiao Yan was just an accident." The woman smiled slightly. "I am the Princess of Zhaoyang. I came to see you today because of my husband, Zhang Heyao."

Lu Qiniang stood there in a daze.

The words "my husband Zhang Heyao" hurt her.

These were her words, and now they have been snatched away by someone else.

She also understood the identity of the visitor.

"What does your husband have to do with me?" Lu Qinniang said coldly, "If you two have any problems, solve them at home. Don't embarrass yourself by coming out."

"How dare you! How dare you speak to the princess like that!" the maid behind Song Mingzhen scolded.

"So what if she's a princess? If I want to make a fuss about it, she stole my man, so I'm the original wife and she's just a little one in front of me." Lu Qiniang also felt a thorn in her side.

"I've already made a clear break with Zhang Heyao and made room for you," she said angrily. "Now you've come again. Are you determined to kill me?"

"You're too excited." Song Mingzhen said calmly, "I just want to have a good chat with you and tell you what's really on my mind. If I really wanted to kill you, would I come here in person? You don't understand. With my status and position, if I want something done, I can just give orders directly. I don't have to do it myself."

"I don't understand why you, who stole someone else's man, can still be so self-righteous. You want to talk to me, right? Come on, come in and talk."

She wanted to see what this princess could come up with.

Song Mingzhen walked into the room, looked at the simple and crude furnishings in the room, and said to Xiao Yan, "I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

The tone of voice seemed very familiar to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan ignored her.

"Go ahead," Lu Qiniang said, "You're disturbing someone's sleep in the dead of night. If you have something to say, say it quickly. We have to get up early to work tomorrow."

"Get up early to work? I heard that the pigs you raised are all... do you have any other work to do today?" Song Mingzhen's eyes were full of smiles.

Lu Qiniang's face was full of suspicion. "How did you know my pig was dead? You sent someone to watch me? Could it be that you poisoned my pig because you couldn't bear to see me doing well?"

"You need evidence to speak." Song Mingzhen said slowly.

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. Just tell me, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?" Lu Qiniang said impatiently.

"Xiao Yan, I'm a little thirsty. Can I have a cup of hot tea?" Song Mingzhen smiled.

Lu Qiniang discovered that she always smiled when she faced Xiao Yan.

"If you want to send me away, just say so." Xiao Yan said coldly.

"Then please go out for a moment."

"No." Xiao Yan refused expressionlessly.

Lu Qiniang laughed out loud.

She had just thought that Xiao Yan and this woman had some love-hate relationship, but now it seemed that she was wrong.

"Xiao Yan, you go ahead." Lu Qiniang said, "I'm sleepy and want to go to bed early. Tell her to speak quickly if she has anything to say—"

If you have to fart, let it out quickly.

Obviously, Song Mingzhen has no good intentions.

"You guys leave too." Song Mingzhen said calmly, then smiled at Xiao Yan, "It's just me and her in the room. It's obvious who's stronger between us. Now you can rest assured."

Xiao Yan stood up and said to Lu Qiniang, "I'm in the yard. Call me if you need anything."

"Okay, don't worry. If a fight really breaks out, I can't afford to suffer any loss."

Song Mingzhen just covered her lips and smiled.

When they were alone in the room, she spoke slowly, this time getting straight to the point.

"I want you to get married."

Lu Qiniang almost suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Want her to get married?

Who is she to me?

If she wants to marry herself, she has to marry herself?

But before she could speak, Song Mingzhen seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. "You have to be obedient, because you have no choice. There is a huge difference between our status. If I want to deal with you and your three daughters, it will be easy."

When Lu Qiniang heard her mention her three daughters, she suddenly became speechless.

No matter how angry she is, she has to swallow it.

Song Mingzhen was right, there was a huge difference in their status.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth," Song Mingzhen said, "Zhang Heyao still has you in his heart. But in his heart, there's no me."

Lu Qiniang: "Oh, you had me in your heart, so you abandoned me. You didn't have you in your heart, so you married you?"

You guys are awesome.

Just move your lips and say whatever you want?

Isn't this just lying with blatant eyes?

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for your humble background. He's not going to marry me, but the daughter of the King of Zhenbei. Do you understand?"

"Aren't you the daughter of King Zhenbei?"

"I happened to be one, so he married me. But he could have married someone else, as long as she was still my father's daughter."

"You know all this, and you still want to get married?" Lu Qiniang found it unbelievable.

"Because I am, I can marry. How do you know that I have no intentions towards him?"

Lu Qi Niang: “…”

Okay, okay, these people have more tricks than a sieve.

She didn't understand, but she hoped that these two would be locked together and stop causing trouble for others.

"I'm very satisfied with the current situation. I don't want any complications like you to appear." Song Mingzhen said, "Although to you, I am the complications."

Lu Qiniang glanced at her and said, "Whatever happens to you two has nothing to do with me. You can take him away, but you still have to tell me what to do and ask me to get married. Do you think this is right?"

"No. But I have the ability to do this. I hope to completely stop him from thinking about you. I don't mind him having other women around him, but he can't have other women in his heart."

"Then don't worry, he doesn't have me in his heart. If he really has me in his heart, would he do such a thing worse than pigs and dogs?"

"He has. It's up to me whether he has it or not."

Lu Qiniang: "If you insist on saying that, then say it. I can't control your mouth. But don't try to tell me what to do. I'm not yours, so I don't have to listen to you."

Song Mingzhen twirled the shrimp whisker bracelet on his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that your pigs were poisoned with arsenic today, causing heavy losses. Have you ever considered that maybe you've offended someone, and they're giving you a warning?"

Lu Qiniang slammed the table and stood up when she heard this, "It's you, it's you who did it, isn't it?"

"Don't get excited. You need evidence to support your words." Song Mingzhen said slowly, "I really want to remind you to keep an eye on your three daughters. What if they accidentally swallow something? What do you think we'll do then?"

"You——" Lu Qiniang's face turned red with anger.

"I don't like beating around the bush. I've said everything I need to say. I'll give you a month."

After a pause, Song Mingzhen looked out the window.

It was pitch black outside and I couldn't see clearly.

But she knew that the tall figure must have merged into the darkness.

"Lu Qi Niang, don't force me."

"I forced you?" Lu Qiniang was incredibly angry. "You stole my husband. Fine, I relied on my family background. I'm not as good as you. I admit it, I'll give him to you. But you actually attacked my pig. I can't stand this!"

If you want a man, I'll give it to you.

But you want my pig, that's too much.

She lived well without a man.

But without the pigs, she really couldn't have survived those years!

"Even if I can't get through it, I have to. After all, I'm a princess." Song Mingzhen crushed Lu Qinniang's pride bit by bit, "I know you're strong. If I touch your three daughters, you'll be doomed—"

"I'm glad you know!"

"By then, we'll both lose. You might lose your life, and I'll lose Zhang Heyao." Song Mingzhen's voice remained steady, as if everything was under control. "That's not good. I don't want to see a scenario where both sides suffer losses."

"You get married and live a good life. I can also live a good life of my own; this is a win-win situation."

"Maybe," she said lazily, "you'll thank me in the future. As long as—you can win Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan is much better than Zhang Heyao. I admire you too. Why are you surrounded by top-notch men? That's not fair, so I want to take one away."
