Chapter 337 Preparing to Assassinate the First Wife
After a moment of calm, Lord Li said, "Don't worry, I will send people to investigate and see which bandit is so bold as to dare to kidnap the Zhou family's manager."
Du Wanchun bowed to him and said, "Then thank you very much, Lord Li."
Lord Li waved his hand, his face showing dejection.
"Manager Du, please rest well at my residence first. I will come to entertain you after I have settled things here."
After saying that, he immediately got up and left.
Although Lord Li verbally agreed to Prince Rong's request to wear the green hat properly, the more he thought about it, the more resentful he became.
He didn't want Prince Rong to get the Zhou family's gold so easily.
at night.
Before Lord Li could even take action, chaos erupted at Prince Rong's residence.
"Well, you really have some nerve, secretly hanging out with that brat behind my back!"
Princess Rong was pointing at Prince Rong and cursing him at home. She was a notorious shrew in Yangcheng, with four generations of her family serving in the military. Prince Rong had married her because of her family background.
He later discovered that she was strong-willed and would not tolerate him taking a concubine. He regretted his decision and wanted to divorce her, but he was afraid of offending his father-in-law.
Left with no other choice, I had to endure it.
Now that Princess Rong has discovered his affair with his goddaughter whom he has been raising, he is incredibly unlucky.
Not satisfied with her rant, Princess Rong picked up some jade and porcelain items and began smashing them wildly.
While smashing things, she cursed, "What did you say when you married me? You said you'd only be with me for life, and now look what you've done! You've done such a disgraceful thing! Where do you want me to put my face?!"
Prince Rong also lost his temper today, "Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? If you hadn't kept stopping me from taking concubines, none of this would have happened today!"
Princess Rong was even angrier. "You still want to take that woman as a concubine to have children for you? Impossible! You can forget about taking a concubine in this lifetime, unless I die!"
A hint of coldness immediately appeared in Prince Rong's eyes.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind: Yes, as long as she's dead, that's all that matters.
With her dead, her father-in-law would no longer be able to control him, and would even do his best to help him out of consideration for his grandson.
When he regains his throne, he can have any woman he desires.
After thinking it over, Prince Rong calmed down and gently stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Madam, I must have misremembered. I was just temporarily bewitched by that woman. Look, haven't I married her off now?"
Princess Rong snorted coldly and said, "Whether it's a real marriage or a fake one, you know better than I do."
Prince Rong said softly, "Madam, you have always been the only one in my heart. If that woman hadn't seduced me, I wouldn't have been with her. Don't worry, from now on I won't look at any other woman, and I will listen to you in everything you say."
Princess Rong had always been easily swayed by his sweet talk, but today, she was somewhat skeptical.
"Your Highness, do you really listen to everything I say?"
She asked in a cold voice.
Prince Rong nodded, stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. "Yes, I'll do whatever you say."
Princess Rong raised her voice and said with a sneer, "Fine, then sell off all three or four maids in your room."
The maids in Prince Rong's room were all bed warmers, and Princess Rong had long disliked them, but she didn't dare to push Prince Rong too far, so she hadn't done anything about it.
Prince Rong's expression changed as expected.
Seeing that she was silent, Princess Rong immediately pushed him away, "Look at you, I told you to get rid of a few maids and you couldn't bear to, and you said you would listen to me."
Prince Rong was taken aback for a moment, then quickly changed his expression and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. In a few days, I'll sell off all those maids."
Princess Rong's expression softened considerably upon hearing his words. She turned to him and said, "Also, you must never see that vile woman again."
Prince Rong smiled and replied, "She's already married, why would I go see her? Don't worry, from now on, you'll be the only one in my heart."
Princess Rong nodded with some skepticism.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Prince Rong led her into the inner room.
The next day, Prince Rong got up early, saying he was going to the South City.
Nancheng is right next to Yangcheng. Princess Rong was not surprised when she heard this. Before leaving, she told him not to do anything to betray her again.
Prince Rong smiled and agreed.
However, no sooner had Prince Rong left Yangcheng than he found his men and said, “Listen carefully, set fire to the Princess’s courtyard tonight.”
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
