An said, "You have been married into Prince Chen's mansion for three months, but you have not gained favor, power, wealth, or useful information. You are sitting in the position of Princess Chen, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
She finds it embarrassing.
Looking at Qin Ye's ugly face, he frowned and said, "You must do one thing well before you can serve Qin Xiangfu."
Either gain power or gain influence.
"Also, your sister's wedding is next month. You should find a way to prepare some dowry for her. The more generous the better." Her tone was strong, more like she was giving an order.
Qin Ye seemed to have heard a huge joke.
My sister is getting married, so it’s not her turn to prepare the dowry, right?
"Fourth sister, I know this is embarrassing for you..." Qin Jiaojiao held her hands and lowered her eyes in self-blame, "It's because I'm useless and failed to gain father's attention, which caused the three of us, mother and daughter, to be in an awkward position in the mansion."
An was a concubine, and she was under the rule of the wife.
The eldest daughter born to the first wife is the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, and her beauty is unparalleled; the second daughter is the most talented woman in the imperial capital, and is full of poetry and books.
Normally, Prime Minister Qin doted on his two daughters, which caused An to fall out of favor. In addition, Qin Ye was ugly and notorious, which dragged down An, making her even more out of favor.
Qin Jiaojiao said in a humble voice: "Sister, in this situation, we sisters should not be divided into you and me. We should unite and work hard, help each other, and work together to let mother live a good life as soon as possible."
She is well-behaved, filial, and sensible, and she wins An's heart deeply.
However, her understanding is based on Qin Ye's interests.
Qin Ye had to pay money and betray King Chen, which was a thankless task; while Qin Jiaojiao only needed to open her mouth to gain the reputation of being well-behaved and sensible.
Oh!
"I understand." She pulled her hand away indifferently, not wanting to stay any longer, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back to Prince Chen's Mansion first."
There is no warmth or kindness in Prime Minister Qin's mansion, so it's better not to wait for him.
Qin Jiaojiao looked at the woman's back as she walked away until she disappeared, and withdrew her gaze with some worry, "Mom, will she help us obediently?"
An snorted coldly: "I have to help her even if I don't want to. It's not up to her. Have I been raising her for nothing all these years?"
"But, if Qin Ye knew that you were not her biological child..."
.
Qin Ye left the Prime Minister's Residence and didn't want to rush back to Prince Chen's Palace, so he wandered around the imperial capital.
The city is prosperous, with people coming and going, and the scene is bustling everywhere.
She found a restaurant, but this one was special in that there were men accompanying her for meals... It was about the same size as a brothel, except that they were prostitutes.
On the stage in the center of the museum, several young and handsome men played the piano and danced. Qin Ye asked for a seat by the window. While eating, he looked at the street outside, at the busy figures selling vegetables, shopping, and pushing carts, and listened to their conversation:
"Your Highness Prince Chen has won another victory. He is worthy of being the undefeated god of war."
"All these years, thanks to him for guarding the border and protecting our people..."
"But that wicked fourth daughter of the Qin family has defiled the King Chen whom I respect and adore. She didn't even take a piss to look at herself, but actually coveted the King Chen! If I see her, I will definitely smear feces on her face!"
Qin Ye, who was eating melon: "..."
The rice in the bowl suddenly lost its fragrance.
Outside the window: "I'm going to smear shit in her mouth!"
Snap——
With just five fingers, the bowl was crushed into pieces.
The man in white sitting next to him was startled.
Qin Ye turned his head: "Why are you shaking? Eat!"
The man in white shirt lost his balance and nearly fell to the ground. He looked at the ugly, devilish woman with horror, and his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking.
People outside were saying that the ugly girl from the Qin family had even married the high and mighty Prince Chen. The means she used must have been extremely cruel. What if she used it on him...
"Princess Chen, please spare my life, please spare my life!"
"What are you afraid of me doing?"
"Please spare my life! I don't know anything, and I dare not tell anyone about your visit to the Qingguan. Please let me go!"
"What's wrong with me going to a brothel? Does that bastard have any control over me? Get up and serve me dinner!"
Outside the door, Zong Zhengchen, who was passing by, paused, took two steps back, and looked sideways. He saw a woman with one foot on the chair, grabbing the collar of the young man, looking like she was forcing herself on him. His face immediately turned dark.
Is this what she meant by going back to her parents' home?
