Yun Zheng was the only daughter of the richest man in Daqi, wealthy beyond measure. In her previous life, she married into the Marquis's estate with a dowry covering ten li, only to become a la...
Chapter 129 Dare to covet the Ninth Thousand Year Old, you are seeking death!
Everyone looked at Xu Wanjing, who looked a little nervous.
"I didn't, Shao Yuanshu. We are good friends. Why did you want to hurt me?"
Shao Yuanshu bit her lip, looking pitiful. "It's true, my princes, you all saw it, right?"
The Third Prince waved his hand, "I don't have any."
Others also said they didn't see it and didn't want to get involved in the dispute.
Shao Yuanshu looked hurt, his eyes were red, and he suddenly stared at Yun Zheng.
"Princess Jinyun, you saw it too, right? Please help me speak a fair word."
Everyone has their own little thoughts, and Yun Zheng didn't want to get involved. "I arrived later than the other princes, and they didn't see it, so how could I have seen it?"
Lord Shao had a splitting headache. In front of everyone, his beloved daughter was embraced by the eldest prince, and he had no choice but to marry him.
However, the eldest prince already has a wife and a concubine, and most importantly, his chances of winning the throne are slim.
What the Shao family wants is to rule the world!
Shao Yuanshu was furious and anxious. "I swear to heaven, it was Xu Wanjing who pushed me into the water. If I tell you even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
She glared at him fiercely, "Xu Wanjing, do you dare to swear?"
Xu Wanjing took a deep breath and asked, "Why not?"
She raised her right hand, her expression serious. "I, Xu Wanjing, am innocent. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Shao Yuanshu was inconsolable. "You vicious liar, full of lies, aren't you afraid of being blamed by the gods and Buddhas?"
She was so angry that she rushed over and tore it apart. Xu Wanjing didn't dodge or fight back, as if she was frightened.
In comparison, the out-of-control Shao Yuanshu looked like a mad woman.
Xu Wanjing was hit twice, and Xu Shangshu immediately stepped forward to stop her. Things had come to this point and there was nothing that could be done.
A hint of annoyance flashed in the queen's eyes. "Alright, stop making trouble."
At her command, Xu Wanjing was pulled away. She couldn't help but cover her face and cry, looking extremely pitiful.
After weighing the pros and cons, Minister Xu finally made up his mind and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince has had physical contact with my daughter. He must take responsibility."
Originally, the Xu family, the Left Censor-in-Chief, and the Duke of Changguo's Mansion were already tied to the Fourth Prince's boat.
Now, the situation has changed.
The Left Censor-in-Chief's expression changed drastically. "No, the Fourth Young Lady is already part of our family."
He felt as if he had swallowed a dead fly, nauseous. What was wrong with the Xu family? Their adopted daughters were restless.
Minister Xu cupped his hands, apologetically saying, "Now that things have come to this, the engagement between our two families is annulled."
He knew very well that the Left Censor-in-Chief already had a grudge in his heart and his son would definitely dislike her, so there would be no point in marrying him.
The queen frowned slightly; all this disrupted her plans.
"Xiao San, what do you say?"
The Third Prince said without hesitation, "I can take Fourth Miss Xu as my concubine, but the principal wife must be reserved for Princess Jinyun."
Everyone's mouths twitched. Are you serious?
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "I have long ago sworn that I wish to win the heart of one person and stay with him till we grow old together. My husband will never accept two women in this life."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions were meaningful.
The Third Prince rolled his eyes. "You are too overbearing. Which man in this world can do that? Don't be so willful. You and I are a perfect match."
He has power and she has money, and the combination of money and power makes them invincible.
Yun Zheng was speechless. What the hell was that? Was he out of his mind?
How could the Emperor allow her to marry the prince? With her incredible ability to make money, coupled with the prince's power, the Emperor couldn't sleep at night, constantly worried about being usurped.
"I have money and a title, and I can live well without a man. A man is just the icing on the cake."
Did the Third Prince really not understand? He did, but he still wanted to give it a try.
"You are not a heretic."
"snort."
Yun Zheng looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Minister Xu, if you sign, I will help you arrange this marriage."
As for this marriage, no one’s opinion counts. The Queen can only make suggestions, and the Emperor has to make the final decision.
Minister Xu was silent, struggling internally.
Xu Wanjing looked at her father pitifully, "Father, please don't be embarrassed. I will go back and hang myself with a white silk scarf. I won't bring disgrace to the Xu family's reputation."
Yun Zheng understood immediately that this was a move of advancing in order to retreat, so she decided to lend her a hand.
"Ah, Fourth Miss Xu, you are too sensible. However, Minister Xu likes daughters who are shameless. For example, your third sister did something terribly wrong, but she was still sent to the Duke of Changguo's mansion to enjoy a good life."
It was true. Miss Xu San entered the Duke of Changguo's Mansion and became the concubine of her eldest brother-in-law. It was considered that she got what she wished for.
Minister Xu was furious. "Shut up."
It would be strange if Yun Zheng was obedient. She was still talking like crazy, "Fourth Miss Xu, I feel so sorry for you, ah."
"Shameless people are living well, but you who have dignity have to die to protect the family's reputation. Your father is not only blind, but also has a poor brain and aesthetic problems. He really loves this slut. Maybe the father and daughter also have..."
Minister Xu had already guessed what she was going to say next. He was about to go crazy and shouted, "That's enough. I sign it. I sign it."
Yun Zheng smiled and handed over the brush and memorial, "Sign it early, isn't it?"
Minister Xu signed the document with shaking hands and threw it to Yun Zheng fiercely. Yun Zheng was not angry, but picked it up and admired it carefully.
The signatures of the six ministers are all here! She's free!
It’s great, I’ve finally waited for this day, I’m so happy!
She had to rush to the palace and ask the emperor to issue an edict on the spot to cancel the marriage!
"Miss Xu is intelligent and charming, and she and the Third Prince are a perfect match. I wish you both a long and happy marriage."
Xu Wanjing's eyes were full of gratitude. With these words, she could not escape the position of the queen.
She believed Yun Zheng had this ability!
"Thank you very much."
Yun Zheng patted her shoulder and said softly, "People must help themselves first, and then others can help them. You are very good."
Xu Wanjing's eyes became hot and tears welled up in them. She saw through everything, but chose to keep silent and secretly helped herself.
These were the only words that had made her feel warm since the incident at home.
Princess Jinyun is a very good person.
On the other side, Shao Ge Lao frowned, "My little girl..."
He tried his best to pave the way for his beloved eldest daughter, but man proposes, God disposes.
The eldest prince looked very sincere, "Don't worry, Lord, I am willing to take responsibility. How about the position of concubine?"
Logically speaking, he is the eldest prince and any woman is worthy of him, not to mention that Shao Yuanshu is just a concubine's daughter.
She is marrying above her station.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yuanshu's face changed drastically, "I don't want it."
Everyone in the audience was shocked, and the eldest prince's face looked extremely ugly.
Shao Yuanshu yelled, "Princess Jinyun, you are responsible for what happened to me in Qin Garden."
Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow and asked with interest, "How to be responsible?"
Within a reasonable range, she doesn't mind helping out a little, it's just a small favor.
Shao Yuanshu leaned closer to Yun Zheng and said in a low voice, "I want to be the consort of Prince Rui. You have a close relationship with Prince Rui. Please help me convince him, or ask the emperor to issue an order directly."
Yun Zheng's smile froze, and an unknown anger surged in her heart.
MD, you dare to covet the Ninth Thousand Year Old, you are seeking death!
Tear her apart with your bare hands!
