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 137: Between Jiang Wenzhou and Ye Yizhen, only one can survive
Princess Yong'an sneered, "I will go and meet him."
Ye Yizhen grabbed her clothes and said anxiously, "Mom."
Princess Yong'an patted her arm gently and said, "Don't be soft-hearted. He is no longer the crown prince, and the emperor still holds a grudge against him. He will never be able to turn things around in this life."
The emperor's resentment for this alone is enough to bring eternal damnation.
"You deserve better. Listen to my arrangements."
Ye Yizhen looked at Princess Yong'an's receding back, her lips tightly pursed, and she was struggling fiercely inside.
After a while, she looked at her right leg and ordered, "Come, carry me over."
At the gate of Ye Mansion, Jiang Wenzhou knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
"Mother-in-law, please let Zhenzhen go home, please."
He even dressed up specially, wearing the good clothes he wore when he was a prince, and combed his hair neatly. The contrast with his scarred face was huge, making him look particularly sad.
The area was crowded with people, and the Left Censor-in-Chief was watching with a group of his men.
Upon hearing the news, each family sent their servants to inquire about the situation, and the place was extremely lively.
Yun Zheng did not show up, but sat in the carriage and watched coldly.
The door finally opened, and Princess Yong'an came out surrounded by a group of servants.
Jiang Wenzhou immediately pleaded loudly, "Mother-in-law, please stop preventing me and Zhenzhen from reuniting. I really can't live without her."
Princess Yong'an looked at Jiang Wenzhou with a bruised nose and swollen eyes, thinking that he was hurting himself and deliberately setting up a torture scheme, and her anger rose.
"How dare you come here? You are just a mere horse slave, and you dare to covet my daughter? Get out of here!"
Jiang Wenzhou trembled all over, his eyes reddened, and he looked so pitiful.
The Marquis's wife stood up and shouted angrily, "How dare you talk like that? This is your son-in-law."
Princess Yong'an sneered, "What son-in-law? Without my consent and my parents' permission, this marriage doesn't count."
She insisted on this one, and it sounded reasonable.
The Marquis's wife was not happy. "Ye Yizhen was just an orphan who lived in my house for many years. She ate and drank at my house, and her dowry was paid for by my son. My son was the Marquis of Pingxi at the time, and he didn't despise her as an orphan at all. He took the risk of marrying her."
"Now that my son has lost his power, Ye Yizhen has no right to despise him."
In just two sentences, he took the moral high ground.
Jiang Wenzhou's face turned pale. "Zhenzhen is so kind and loves me so much. She will never despise me. Mother-in-law, please don't break us up. We can't be separated even if we die."
Well, Ye Yizhen is a good person, and the bad one is Princess Yong'an who broke up the couple.
The crowd pointed and talked, saying all sorts of things.
"The eldest princess is too overbearing. She would rather demolish ten temples than ruin a marriage."
"This is because she despises the poor and loves the rich. She looks down on others. I didn't expect the princess to be such a snob."
"The eldest princess is so mean, it's not what I imagined."
Princess Yong'an looked at the imperial censor not far away, her eyes flickering slightly, "Jiang Wenzhou, I don't recognize this marriage. From now on, you two will go your separate ways."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere on the scene changed immediately.
A clear voice rang out, "They've worshipped heaven and earth, celebrated their wedding night, and paid homage to their ancestors. They might even be pregnant. How dare you, a mother-in-law who suddenly appeared after the wedding, deny their child? Do you have the right to do that?"
Princess Yong'an was extremely sensitive to the voice and looked around. "Yun Zheng, why are you everywhere? This is none of your business. Get out of the way."
Yun Zheng poked her head out of the carriage and shouted, "Marriage is no joke. I would like to ask the people present whether they approve of this marriage."
The people nodded in agreement, "We acknowledge them! We've already worshipped heaven and earth and slept together, so we're husband and wife."
Princess Yong'an was furious. Yun Zheng had bad intentions.
"The marriage certificate shows the name of Young Master Jiang, but he's long gone. This marriage doesn't count..."
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "Just asking, who did Ye Yizhen worship heaven and earth with, and who did she spend her wedding night with?"
Jiang Wenzhou puffed out his chest and said, "It's me."
Princess Yong'an couldn't argue with her, and was angry and annoyed, "Then divorce."
Yun Zheng laughed and wondered what a big dream he was having.
"The Emperor said that in this dynasty, there is only widowhood, not divorce. Between Jiang Wenzhou and Ye Yizhen, only one can survive."
"The Princess openly defied the laws of the court and went against the Emperor..."
Princess Yong'an felt a tingling sensation on her scalp; it was coming again.
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense."
How could Yun Zheng listen to her and even add fuel to the fire?
"Ye Yizhen is the daughter-in-law of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion in life, and she will be the ghost of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion in death, so please don't try to break up the couple and make others hate you."
Bad men and bitches, tie them up to death and stop them from harming others.
Princess Yong'an's face looked extremely ugly.
Jiang Wenzhou kowtowed heavily and fell to the ground, "Please, Princess, let my wife go home."
Princess Yong'an looked at him, then at Yun Zheng, somewhat confused. How did they get together?
"The Pingxi Marquis's Mansion has fallen into such a state, can you afford to support her?"
Jiang Wenzhou said calmly, "I can't afford it."
"Well?"
Jiang Wenzhou raised his head and said, "So, to thank you for your love and care for Zhenzhen, I have decided to bring my family here to serve you and Zhenzhen."
Princess Yong'an was stunned, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears. "What?"
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "Jiang Wenyun, why are you standing there like an idiot? Go ahead and take your brothers and sisters with you."
Jiang Wenyun was awakened and immediately rushed in with a group of people.
Princess Yong'an was furious. "Yun Zheng, what on earth do you want to do?"
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "I'm doing a good deed every day, helping them reunite and accumulating merit."
At this moment, Ye Yichen was carried out. She sat on a chair, looking quite good, wearing a beautiful dress and jewels all over her body.
She looked at Yun Zheng coldly, but spoke softly, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for thinking of me. Please move in with us. The family should be reunited."
She wanted Yun Zheng to lose more than she gained.
Yun Zheng refuses to go in, so she can just wait to be impeached by the censor. One should not be so hypocritical.
If I enter the Ye Mansion, I will be at her mercy.
Yun Zheng saw through her thoughts at a glance. This person, even though she was injured like this, was still full of bad intentions.
"I'm moving in too?"
Ye Yizhen's tone was very gentle, "Yes, we are all a family. I think the emperor would be happy to see our family live in harmony."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows, "What a pity."
"Just now, the emperor issued an imperial decree to cancel my engagement with Jiang Wenzhou. As for me, I am still a chaste girl."
Ye Yizhen's eyes widened suddenly, "This is impossible."
Yun Zheng handed over the imperial edict with a smile, "Come, let me show you the imperial edict."
Ye Yizhen was greatly shocked when she saw the content of the imperial edict, which was to cancel the engagement.
This is an unprecedented move! Does the emperor dote on her so much?
"how so?"
She was so excited that she used her hands to squeeze the imperial edict into a ball unconsciously.
Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. "Oh no! Ye Yizhen deliberately damaged the imperial edict. This is disrespectful to the Emperor and punishable by death."
"Someone, go report the case."
Destroying the imperial edict is a serious crime.
Ye Yizhen came back to her senses, her expression changed drastically, "No, no, I didn't mean it, Yun Zheng, you... you did it on purpose!"
He deliberately dug a hole for her and waited for her to fall into it.
Damn it, you evil person!
Yun Zheng looked around and locked onto a person. "Ah, Left Censor-in-Chief, you saw everything, right? Why didn't you say anything? Could it be that you're Princess Yong'an's lackey?"
