Chapter 40 Yun Zheng, How Dare You Plot Against Me

Lord Guyu smiled faintly and said nothing, looking at Yun Zheng on the side.

Pingxi Hou's mind raced as he said with a smile, "Yun Zheng, these things can be passed down to the next generation as heirlooms. You must preserve them well."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes. Did he really not know that these things were taken away by Jiang Wenzhou? Hypocrisy!

"This is a gift from my Yun family specially presented to the Emperor and Empress Dowager. The Emperor is aware of it."

The key point is that it is the Yun family, not the Pingxi Marquis Mansion, so don’t get involved.

Lord Guyu added, "The emperor likes it very much and asked me to come and get it."

The father and son of Pingxi Hou felt as if they were struck by lightning, and their vision went dark. It was over, all over.

The Emperor already knows? Then, who would dare to snatch things from the Emperor?

No, how did the emperor know this? How did Yun Zheng bypass the Marquis' Mansion and pass this thing up?

Jiang Wenzhou's heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped by an unknown large hand. He had difficulty breathing and roared in frustration.

"Yun Zheng, how can you act on your own?"

He had already treated those priceless treasures as his own, intending to use them as gifts, to show favor, or for his own use, and he had arranged them all properly.

However, all his wishful thinking was shattered by Yun Zheng. From being full of confidence just now to being desperate now, he was going crazy!

Yun Zheng looked indifferent. She didn't want to be a victim, and she didn't want to be used as a stepping stone by these shameless people.

"Or, you can go and tell the emperor that we don't want to offer it anymore and just want to enjoy it ourselves."

She dared to say it, but Jiang Wenzhou didn't dare to do it unless he didn't want to live anymore.

But Jiang Wenzhou was unwilling to give up.

"Why did you do this? Have you ever considered the feelings of the Marquis' Mansion?"

Yun Zheng smiled faintly. "I can give my dowry to whoever I want. What's it to you? The Queen Mother is kind and generous, the King is wise and intelligent, and the Queen is dignified and noble. I just want to express my feelings. Do you have any objections?"

To put it bluntly, she would rather give her away than give her to the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion. These people drank her blood and ate her flesh, and still complained that it was not tasty.

Is her dowry easy to snatch? Just cut off the source of the trouble and break up.

As long as you live well, you can make money back even if you lose it. So why are you afraid that you can’t buy good things with money?

"You..." Even if Jiang Wenzhou had an opinion, he didn't dare to say it out loud. If he offended these three great Buddhas, how could he have a good life?

Pingxi Hou interrupted in time, "No one in the Marquis' Mansion has any objection. If you send it, it's the same as ours. We are all family."

Well, at this time he still wants to take all the credit for himself, he is as cunning as a monkey.

Yun Zheng didn't argue. What was there to argue about? Next, she had a comprehensive plan.

Lord Guyu urged impatiently, "Where are the things? Hurry up, I need to go to the palace to report."

Yun Zheng looked at Jiang Wenzhou and asked coldly, "Prince, where is the thousand-year-old blood ginseng? This is presented to the Emperor. Where is the pearl phoenix crown? This is presented to the Empress Dowager. The Golden Wind and Rising Sun ruby ​​headpiece is presented to the Empress. And the soft smoke gauze and cicada wing gauze are all clearly written on the list of offerings."

Every time she said something, Jiang Wenzhou's eyes widened a little bit. These were all the dowries he had snatched away.

This is definitely not a coincidence!

"Yun Zheng, how dare you plot against me!"

Lord Guyu became interested. "Calculation? What do you mean? Miss Yun, why are you asking the prince for your dowry?"

Yun Zheng sighed softly, "Oh, the prince smashed open the storehouse and took away everything he liked. I didn't dare to ask any more questions. Maybe this is the rule of the upper class and noble circles."

This is so weird, it's really unique.

Lord Guyu was shocked. Was Jiang Wenzhou crazy? Or was the Pingxi Marquisate driven crazy by poverty?

"Which noble would steal his wife's dowry? How come I've never heard of this? Hmm, maybe I'm just ignorant. I'll ask the various prefectures in the capital if there's such a rule."

Yun Zheng said with a smile, "If you have any results, tell me and let me know. It will also open my eyes."

The two men sang in unison and rubbed Pingxi Houfu's face hard under their feet.

If this gets out, all the nobles in the city will hate the Pingxi Marquis Mansion. They are embarrassed and should not drag others into it.

Pingxi Hou's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly came up with a clever idea. "It's a misunderstanding. It's not Wen Zhou. It's... the eldest wife, Ye, is not feeling well. One of her men took the initiative to ask Yun Zheng for medicine. Unexpectedly, Yun Zheng was not at home, and her men, in a moment of desperation, smashed the storehouse."

He pushed the blame onto Ye Yichen to protect his own heir.

I have to say, he is a thousand-year-old fox and is very smart.

Jiang Wenzhou opened his mouth, wanting to defend Ye Yichen, but when he saw his father's stern look, he swallowed the words back.

Never mind. Ye’s reputation is too bad anyway. No matter how bad it is, it’s just like that. At worst, he can treat her better.

Guyu didn't believe a word of it and smiled with his lips but not his eyes.

"Ye's men ordered the kidnapping, Ye's men stole the medicine, Ye is so innocent... Oh, no, she killed someone. I wonder what evil thing she will do next time?"

He was sarcastic and his words were harsh, but Pingxi Hou remained calm. "I will discipline him strictly and this will never happen again. I beg Lord Guyu to show mercy and not spread the news."

Lord Guyu glanced at him calmly and said, "I will report the truth to the emperor."

Pingxi Hou's heart sank and he felt cold all over. The emperor seemed generous, but in fact he was extremely narrow-minded.

If you touch his things, he won't let it go.

He couldn't help but vent his anger on his son. He refused to listen to advice and insisted on snatching the dowry. Now, something bad happened, right?

She told him several times that she should use her love to control Yun Zheng and make her willing to give to the Marquis' Mansion.

When the time comes, if we have another child, will we still be afraid that she won't be sincere to us?

"Wen Zhou, why are you still standing there? Go and ask Ye for something."

Jiang Wenzhou didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried to Wutong Courtyard to open the warehouse.

This half was the dowry he bought for Ye with his own money, and it was all ordinary items.

Half of them were stolen from Yun Zheng by him. They were all rare treasures and he didn't even look at the inferior ones.

Works like Bada Shanren's "Flowers and Birds" and Han Huang's "Five Oxen" are rare treasures handed down from generation to generation and are hard to come by.

He planned to give this "Five Oxen Picture" to the Prime Minister to help him get his position back.

He intended to give this "Flowers and Birds Painting" to the dean of Qingyun Academy, who was a leader in the literary world. Most of the civil servants in the court were his disciples and he had great influence.

He wanted the dean to adopt Ye Yichen as his adopted daughter. Then, his ruined reputation would be restored, his status would be established, and those civil servants would protect him and Ye Yichen.

Kill two birds with one stone.

But now, everything has been handed in! His plan has failed!

He was breathing rapidly, veins on his forehead were throbbing, his face was grim, and his heart was bleeding.

Yun Zheng, this evildoer, why won't you just be his stepping stone? Why won't you let your blood be sucked away? Why won't you just die?!

How dare she resist? How dare she?

He took down the calligraphy and painting on the wall, pressed a secret button, and a secret drawer appeared before his eyes.

He carefully took out the rosewood brocade box, opened it, and a thousand-year-old blood ginseng came into view.

The originally complete blood ginseng was cut and something was missing!

His hands trembled uncontrollably, his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't even stand steadily.

How to pass this level now? He moved and ate a piece of the thousand-year-old blood ginseng!

If the emperor knew, he would be very angry and would punish him!

What to do? No, he has to save himself!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind...
