Chapter 197: Stalking
The wife of Duke Rong let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, attracting the attention of passers-by.
When the maid helped the wife of Duke Rong up from the ground, her snout was swollen like a pig's. She couldn't utter a word, let alone propose a marriage for someone.
After hearing the news, Mother Du laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "You deserve it! Otherwise, she would still be Madam."
She mistakenly thought that Xie Changning had ordered someone to do this.
Little did she know that Xie Changning had never asked anyone to do such a thing. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Could it be that the wife of Duke Rong was careless?
It was indeed Concubine Qi who asked the wife of Duke Rong to do this.
Qi Zhengye was still kept in the dark. When he learned about this, he immediately rushed to Chaoyun Palace and asked Concubine Qi for an explanation. "Why do you want me to marry Xie Changning? I tell you, I won't agree even if you kill me."
God knows, he finally divorced Fang, that tigress.
It's only been a few days of carefree days?
ah?
He was actually allowed to marry Xie Changning, the second tigress!!!
Are you going to let him live?
Concubine Qi snorted coldly, "Even if you want to marry her, will she be willing to marry you? Stop flattering yourself. I have my own reasons for doing this. Now it's time for you to show your sincerity."
"I will report to Xie Changning every day. In short, I will pester her relentlessly. Even if she hits you or scolds you, you must endure it. When it's time to send gifts, you must send them to me. I will cover all expenses."
"You must let everyone know your determination to marry her!"
Qi Zhengye, “…”
His face turned pale. "My Lady, why don't you just have someone kill me? Why torture me like this?"
"Do you still want to be a Duke?" Concubine Qi successfully controlled Qi Zhengye with just one sentence.
Qi Zhengye nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I dream about it."
Concubine Qi curled her lips and said, "If you want, do as I say."
Qi Zhengye's heart hardened, "Okay, but then again, the Queen won't really let me marry Xie Changning in the end, will she?"
Concubine Qi gave him a message, "Dream on!"
Qi Zhengye left happily.
As long as he doesn't marry Tigress No. 2, anything is fine!
Isn't it just pestering her?
This is his specialty.
The news that Lady Rongguogong came to propose marriage for Qi Zhengye soon reached the ears of the Crown Prince.
The prince's expression was solemn, but when he learned that Xie Changning had rejected Qi Zhengye, his expression eased a little.
Unexpectedly, in the next few days, Qi Zhengye was like a dog-skin plaster, pestering Xie Changning every day, either bringing gifts to her home, or deliberately planning to meet her by chance, he was simply omnipresent.
No matter how much Xie Changning beat him or scolded him, he was like a possessed man. Not only could he not be driven away, but he also threatened to marry Xie Changning.
Several times on the way back home, he accidentally fell off his horse, leaving his face bruised and swollen. Even so, it did not stop him from continuing to pester Xie Changning the next day.
If he wasn't still useful, Xie Changning really wanted to have someone beat him to death.
Xie Changning had no choice but to stay indoors.
Do you think Qi Zhengye has no other options left?
He stood at the door for a whole day, holding the carefully selected gift.
He is a dissolute playboy, but he is almost labeled as a sentimental man. It's ridiculous.
The prince asked people to pay attention to this matter every day, and this went on for seven days in a row. The prince's heart suddenly became alarmed.
He knows it very well.
What women are best at is saying one thing and thinking another.
It won’t be long before Qi Zhengye can persuade Xie Changning to nod his head.
Once Xie Changning marries him, wouldn't the fourth brother be even more powerful?
He couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Pei Zhi is too incompetent.
He originally thought that if Pei Zhi really had feelings for Xie Changning, he would definitely not turn a blind eye.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zhi didn't react at all.
It seems that he has to take action in this matter.
Just as the Crown Prince was filled with worry, a shadow guard strode in, bowed, and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, I have just discovered something. Ye Zhonglin is not Xie Changning's son at all. Instead, he was specially placed by the Princess to be with Xie Changning."
The prince's eyes lit up, "Have you checked it out?"
The shadow guard nodded, "Your Highness, this is absolutely true."
The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes slightly. Concubine Qi and the eldest princess had always been in cahoots with each other. If Xie Changning died at Ye Zhonglin's hands...
