Everyone was in different places, frowning and thinking at about the same time. Then, they suddenly remembered that Yu Zizhen had never let anyone touch her body before...
Relying on her extraordinary fighting power, she had beaten people around her so badly in the first two or three years that they no longer dared to compete with her. Later, even if her chest was no longer a flat piece, she just had to wrap the necessary parts tightly with cloth and pretend that they were chest muscles, and others would definitely not be able to tell anything was wrong.
Even because she was wrapped in several layers of cloth, others would mistakenly think that she was the strong type, and then become more and more convinced that she was a man.
In addition, she has no shortage of food and drink, and has been practicing martial arts for many years, so her height and body muscle content must be no problem. Then there is no problem of exposing her true gender because of her petite stature or soft body with no muscles.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly no longer felt that they were seriously blind.
They tried to calm themselves down and digest the news in the shortest possible time.
Xiao Yuanjin, Fang Huaiying and others who had good intentions towards Yu Zizhen thought that they had to accept this fact as soon as possible, because only by accepting this fact first could they regain their composure, and after regaining their composure, they could do their best to help Yu Zizhen eliminate the negative impact of this news on her.
However, those who harbored ill will towards Yu Zizhen wanted to use their brains as quickly as possible to make the most of this information and set traps for Yu Zizhen and even the King of Zhenbei.
Of course, in addition to these two types of people, there were also many speculators who became increasingly covetous of Yu Zizhen's troops and territory after the news came out.
They were all in this situation. They originally thought that they had a great advantage over Yu Zizhen and had at least a 50% chance of persuading Yu Zizhen to hand over the power he had obtained. However, now that they had lost everything, the King of Zhenbei and his wife naturally became even more restless.
Just as the fourth son of Duke Jingguo had someone send a message to Duke Jingguo at all costs and as quickly as possible, suggesting that Duke Jingguo simply change the goal of this diplomatic mission from alliance to marriage proposal, and if rejected, he would bring up the alliance again, at the same time, the King of Zhenbei also galloped to the border between the northern and eastern regions with his trusted guards.
Just like the people in the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion who were already urgently mobilizing troops, the people in the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion also felt that after the news that Yu Zizhen was a woman was revealed, there would definitely be chaos in Yu Zizhen's sphere of influence for a while.
By then, both the Duke Jingguo Mansion and the Prince Zhenbei Mansion would have the opportunity to intervene.
As the saying goes, "The early bird catches the worm." Mr. Chen Si was afraid that his family would lose the initiative in this matter, so he sent an urgent letter back to ask for instructions from his old father who was already organizing the troops. At the same time, he immediately took Chen Hushan and others into Jiangning City, preparing to meet Yu Zizhen as quickly as possible.
Mr. Chen Si felt that when Yu Zizhen had rebellious subordinates at home and was under pressure from her biased and cold-blooded parents outside, she would definitely not mind accepting the olive branch extended by the Jingguo Mansion with sincerity.
He ignored Chen Hushan's awkwardness and opposition and discussed all the details of the marriage proposal in detail with his staff.
Yes, they were planning to propose marriage to Yu Zizhen in the name of Chen Hushan.
The reason why they ignored Chen Hushan's awkwardness and opposition was because Chen Hushan, as the eldest grandson of Duke Jingguo, was the rightful future heir to their Duke Jingguo Mansion.
If they leave him aside and choose other descendants of the Chen family to marry Yu Zizhen, then who will inherit their family business in the future?
If it is handed over to Chen Hushan, then is Yu Zizhen marrying into the Chen family just to benefit the Chen family?
If he handed it over to Yu Zizhen's husband, wouldn't Chen Hushan be unwilling?
In the first case, unless Yu Zizhen was under a spell cast by the Chen family, they would definitely not agree to this marriage.
In the latter situation, although Yu Zizhen seems to have suffered no loss, wouldn't she be worried that the Chen family is actually deceiving her into marrying into the family, intending to slowly erode her original power in the future, or worried that the Chen family will cause her to lose everything and gain nothing because of the internal strife?
Mr. Chen Si didn't want his proposal to fail, because he did plan to slowly turn everything that originally belonged to Yu Zizhen into the Chen family after she married into the Chen family.
As for Yu Zizhen herself, according to Fourth Master Chen's wishes, he actually wanted to let her "die of illness" directly after she gave birth to a child.
With a child who inherited Yu Zizhen's bloodline in the Chen family, the Chen family does not have to worry about her subordinates immediately rebelling against the Chen family. Without Yu Zizhen, the resistance they face when they try to gather the power at her hands will be obviously much smaller.
However, contrary to the expectations of Mr. Chen Si who had made good plans, Prince Zhenbei, Duke Jingguo and others who were preparing for war, Yu Zizhen's subordinates actually adapted well to her identity as a woman and did not cause the violent turmoil they expected.
After Yu Zizhen's identity as a woman was made public, except for Yuheng and Yaoguang who had already heard about this from Yu Zizhen, Yu Zizhen's other subordinates were also shocked.
But no matter how shocked they were, after the shock wore off, the matter was basically over.
As for those who don't submit to Yu Zizhen because she is a woman and want to kill her and take the position themselves, those who have more contact with Yu Zizhen and are more trusted and valued by her would not be stupid enough to have such an idea.
There are actually many reasons why everyone is so honest.
Firstly, those people whom Yu Zizhen trusted and valued had either suffered great disasters, and they and their families had received great kindness from Yu Zizhen. Regardless of whether Yu Zizhen was a man or a woman, they still had to repay him. Or they were of humble origins, and the women in their families had to go out to work and interact with others for a living. The rule of not leaving the main door or the secondary door did not exist for them at all. Naturally, they would not particularly reject Yu Zizhen's "unruly behavior".
Secondly, the longer they get along with Yu Zizhen and the more they understand her, the more they admire her abilities and character. They will not think that she is unworthy of being their lord just because she has changed her gender.
Thirdly, Yu Zizhen had actually given out quite a few "God-given things" in the past few years. In this era where most people are quite superstitious, how could they dare to offend their lord who was the "chosen one"?
Fourthly, Yu Zizhen had prepared for the future and had already done enough brainwashing work.
The schools Yu Zizhen had opened over the years weren't just for boys. Under her insistence for over a decade, her subordinates had helped her train her female subordinates and brainwash her male subordinates.
