Wen Zizhuo was defeated.
He was merely testing the waters, and the plan collapsed halfway through its first step, with Wen Yichu even 'tightening' his throat.
The position of crown prince should be filled by the most capable person.
He was really stupid. He could get a thousand taels of gold without doing anything, yet he still thought of making trouble for himself.
After returning to his residence, Wen Zizhuo, thinking about how he would have to live off the surplus grain next year, looked at the various gold, silver, and jade artifacts in the room and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although he was extravagant, he genuinely liked buying glittering gold items to display in his home.
Living to the end of next year shouldn't be a problem.
However, when he relaxed and seriously slacked off, he was completely unaware that there was someone in the distance waiting for him to make a move.
Wen Yichu was stomped into the mud.
Yan Jingzhi, far away in her rural village in Yanjia, looked at the hot cabbage and tofu in front of her, rubbed her flat stomach, hesitated for a while, and then picked up her chopsticks.
I eat the same dish every day.
Once she becomes empress, the first thing she'll do is scatter all the cabbages and tofu in the world!
As Yan Jingzhi pondered this, she stabbed the dish with her chopsticks. After a series of actions, by the time she came to her senses, the perfectly good tofu had turned into tofu dregs.
"..."
"It seems the Second Miss isn't hungry."
The stewardess of the estate, Granny Zhao, had just entered when she saw this scene. She immediately stepped forward and cleared the dishes from the table, her eyes filled with Yan Jingzhi's anger at the waste of food.
"Since you, Miss, don't care about the grain on the estate, you should think carefully about how to get the master to let you stay after you go back this time."
Damn it.
She truly is a pampered young lady raised in the city; this jade cabbage soup uses only the freshest cabbage leaves and tofu.
It was specially made for this second young lady, but she still didn't like it.
Yan Jingzhi jumped up, grabbed Zhao Mama who was about to leave, snatched the bowl of soup from her hand, and said:
What did you mean by what you just said?
go back?
Could it be that Wen Zizhuo has succeeded?
Granny Zhao pulled her hand away from Yan Jingzhi's. Although her movements were somewhat impatient, her joy was clearly visible in her expression.
"Master specifically instructed that there will be a happy occasion in the manor in a few days. Although the second young lady has made a mistake, it is not a problem for her to go back and stay for a while."
Yan Jingzhi: "Happy news?"
Zhao Mama replied, "That's right, Second Miss, have you forgotten? In a few days, it will be the day of His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding to the Eldest Miss. Isn't that a great joyous occasion?"
The master also specially sent celebratory silver to the estate, and everyone received ten taels of silver.
This made them, who could only eat vegetable leaves all day long, extremely happy.
He was planning to send the second young lady away in a few days, so he went to buy some good food to treat himself.
Yan Jingzhi didn't speak, but her hand tightened.
So what if they got married? She remembered that in the original book, Wen Yichu agreed to the marriage entirely because Yan Li was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
It's not because of love at all.
"Alright, Miss, I have plenty of things to do and don't have time to waste with you."
Zhao Mama was delighted to have received the money, and naturally, she was happy to offer the second young lady a few words of advice before leaving:
"In short, if the Second Miss doesn't want to come back and suffer again, she should try to stay in Chong'an City."
She didn't want to serve anyone anyway.
After saying that, Granny Zhao swayed her large, round waist and walked away happily.
Should we stay?
After some thought, Yan Jingzhi set her sights on Wen Zizhuo.
Perhaps she could cooperate with him for the time being?
After making up her mind, Yan Jingzhi looked at the cabbage and tofu soup on the table and suddenly found it much more pleasing to the eye.
Just bear with it a little longer, and soon these things won't be on her desk anymore.
