But how could he fall into the lake and drown for no reason?
The encounter at the door of Jiang's house ended hastily like a passing rain.
But Jiang Mingzhi was still worried after returning home. It was not until the evening that Qingwu brought back the news.
"I heard that Concubine Jin is pregnant and was admiring the flowers in the garden today. I don't know what they had an argument about, and that's why Prince Ce fell into the water."
Jiang Mingzhi didn't understand why Chu Ce had such a quarrel with Bai Hui Niang.
When she was in Prince Jin's Mansion, Ce'er had always been very well-behaved.
This is also why Jiang Mingzhi felt so heartbroken when she learned that Chu Ce was not her child.
Thinking about the several encounters since then, Jiang Mingzhi realized that Chu Ce was probably no longer the child who only knew how to please his mother.
But she...even if she wanted to intervene, it would be impossible.
Moreover, if she gave up her previous thoughts, it would only make her revenge on King Jin more difficult.
"Do you want me to inquire further?"
"No need."
Jiang Mingzhi closed his eyes and put all the tangled thoughts behind him.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, Jiang Mingzhi was awakened by the loud sound of gongs and drums outside the door.
There is no custom of greeting at home now. Jiang Mingzhi wanted to sleep in, but was suddenly woken up and was a little confused for a moment.
Qingsha ran in again and reported, "Miss, something bad has happened. Someone from Prince Jin's mansion has come to propose marriage."
When Jiang Mingzhi got dressed and went out, he saw Bai Hui Niang sitting in an ebony armchair drinking tea with a depressed look on her face, as if she was displeased with everyone.
When she saw the person coming, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
In the yard, red flowers were hung on several large boxes, and no one, inside or outside, looked happy.
I guess Bai Hui Niang knew that Chu Jincheng came to see her yesterday.
Jiang Mingzhi was not afraid and sat in the host's chair.
"My father is ill in bed, and the elders in my family have returned to Dingzhou. I'm sorry that I can't entertain you well enough."
Bai Hui Niang threw the cup and sneered.
"Why are you pretending to be so nice to me? The prince wants to take you into his palace, so you must be so happy."
"For a poor family like yours, the Jinyi Marquisate, to be able to climb up to the high branches of the royal palace is a testament to the great honor bestowed upon them by their ancestors!"
Hearing that Jiang Mingzhi was the only one in charge of the Jiang family now, Bai Hui Niang no longer had any concerns.
She cast aside her usual airs as a princess and began to sneer with a look of disdain.
"I heard that the Crown Prince fell into the water yesterday. Why is the concubine not at home looking after the medicine, but is in the mood to come to the Jiang family to cause trouble?"
Jiang Mingzhi was no commoner. Bai Huiniang was a concubine of Prince Jin, and after all, she was just a noble concubine in the palace. Since she came to her door and asked for humiliation, there was no reason for her to refuse.
"Poor child, his mother died young, and the palace is only run by a concubine, so he is wronged."
Jiang Mingzhi sighed.
"How dare you, a lowly person like you, discuss the affairs of the royal palace?"
As he was speaking, there was another commotion outside, and Chu Jincheng walked in with great speed.
Today is really lively. Jiang Mingzhi is serving tea and taking his time.
"Hui Niang, what are you doing?"
"Of course, it's to find the right person for the prince to marry."
Chu Jincheng looked a little embarrassed and wanted to pull Bai Hui Niang aside to talk, but was pushed away harshly.
"Chu Jincheng, your son fell into the lake and you just ignored him!"
"I stayed with him all night last night, but you spent the whole night with that little bitch. Since we no longer have any feelings for each other, you can marry whoever you want. Today it's the Jiang family, tomorrow you can propose marriage to someone else. All it takes is a word from the prince!"
When Bai Hui Niang talked about her sad moments, she cried and made a fuss, as if she was back to when she was performing on stage.
But Chu Jincheng had no interest in listening to the opera at this time. Seeing that he could not persuade him, he slapped him.
"That's enough, you silly woman!"
Bai Hui Niang covered her face in disbelief and took two steps back in frustration.
"The prince once..."
Jiang Mingzhi was a little annoyed and didn't want to watch the couple acting out, so he leaned back and dozed off.
What kind of good couple would quarrel in someone else's home?
Unexpectedly, Bai Hui Niang refused to see Jiang Mingzhi stay out of the matter.
"Bring her here to me and marry the prince right now!"
Is this building sheltered from the wind?
Jiang Mingzhi opened his mouth, but was speechless.
Who can control this woman!
“Snap—”
A slap.
“Snap—”
Another slap.
Prince Jin and his wife were petrified on the ground.
Apparently, no one informed them that thugs were arranged for today's scene.
Chu Muchi rarely hits people himself, and the two slaps were so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Everyone present was stunned.
"Prince Yong has arrived!"
Well, needless to say, everyone knows it.
"Chu Muchi!"
Chu Jincheng, who came to his senses first, was furious and ashamed. He was slapped in the face in public. As the dignified Prince Jin, he might as well find a rope and hang himself!
"Did you enjoy the spanking? You still want another slap? You've lost your dignity after meeting the Emperor's uncle."
Chu Jincheng was on the verge of a rage, but when he heard the word "imperial uncle", he realized that the person standing in front of him was not someone else, but the imperial uncle Chu Muchi, who was closest to the throne.
He hit himself and said in front of His Majesty that it was his blessing to receive the teachings of the Emperor's uncle.
Who dares to object to this?
Following behind Chu Muchi was Jiang Yin, the emperor's eunuch.
Chu Jincheng's knees went weak and he could no longer hold on, so he knelt down.
"Miss Jiang, His Majesty has issued an order. Kneel down and receive it."
It is an imperial decree granting marriage.
Just as Chu Muchi said, His Majesty has granted the marriage and the wedding will take place on the sixth day of next month.
