When she first came to Yuhua Town, that bastard Fu Mingchi tricked her into going to Qinglan Temple. Although Ye Wanshu had some intentions of teasing him that day, it was more for self-protection, fearing that he would do something bad to her.
I didn't expect that he would dare to use this matter to bind me.
Pulling her lips, Ye Wanshu's eyes shone with a hint of mockery. "It's just a casual act. Who would take it seriously? Hasn't he always thought this way? Why is he pretending to be ignorant now when he knows the truth?"
Mother Yan sighed silently, realizing that the girl was determined to draw a clear line between herself and Prince Yongning.
Being broken off from engagement without any reason is a hurdle that no one can overcome. Now she couldn't persuade the girl anymore and could only leave the room in disappointment.
She walked to the gate of the courtyard with a lonely look on her face. Looking at Fu Mingchi, whose lips were pale from the rain, Mother Yan slowly walked forward with an umbrella. She thought about what the girl had said, but she couldn't repeat it when it came to her lips.
"Your Highness." Mother Yan lowered her head, hesitant to speak.
Fu Mingchi closed his eyes and said weakly, "She doesn't want to see me again?"
Mother Yan shook her head forcefully: "Your Highness, my daughter has just been through too much stress lately. How about you go back first and wait for her to calm down. Then I'll send someone to invite you over."
Fu Mingchi glanced towards the courtyard, his eyes dark but firm: "I'm not going anywhere."
Mother Yan handed him the umbrella distressedly: "Then your highness should hold the umbrella."
"No need." Fu Mingchi stood in the rain in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
Mother Yan was completely at her wit's end. She was so frightened that she had to retreat.
Since the young lady had spoken out and refused to let Prince Yongning enter Taowu, she and the others could not continue to guard here. They exchanged glances with Tian Fu and Chu Yin and went back to the yard.
The spring rain continued for three whole days, and the rain became heavier and heavier, making the entire Jiangnan area look like it was being submerged.
Fu Mingchi stood outside Taowu for three whole days, which not only worried everyone in Taowu, but the news also quickly spread to Yuzhou City.
When Princess Qining and her daughter Zhao Yingying learned that their sister-in-law and nephew had been so servile for that country girl, they were filled with righteous indignation and ran directly to Concubine Zhang's courtyard to make a scene.
"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?"
Princess Qining scolded with resentment, "Ming Chi is the lord of Yuezhou. He can marry any woman he wants. You condescended to be a servant to that bitch, but now Ming Chi is injured and has been standing in the rain for three days in Taowu. But that bitch doesn't appreciate your kindness. Is she trying to kill Ming Chi?"
Concubine Zhang was naturally very angry and felt sorry for her son, but after all, it was the Yongning Palace that was at fault, so how could she blame others?
Besides, the girl didn't beg the palace for help, so she didn't have the confidence to go to war and hold her accountable.
Glancing indifferently at her daughter who was unconscious on the bed, Concubine Zhang coldly spat out two words: "Get out."
"Sister-in-law," Princess Qining's eyes turned red with anxiety. "What on earth are you afraid of? Isn't she just an orphan who is despised by everyone and even the Ji family doesn't want to acknowledge her? Why are you so afraid of her?"
After saying this, he walked out viciously: "I can't stand by and watch Ming Chi being humiliated like this. I must teach that bitch a lesson today."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to rush out the door, Concubine Zhang stood up.
"stop."
Concubine Zhang angrily scolded: "How do you want to deal with her?"
"I..." Princess Qining choked on the spot.
"If it was your daughter whose engagement was broken off, would you still be able to stand here and speak to me with such confidence?"
Concubine Zhang took a deep breath and said, "If your daughter is capable and can hold Ming Chi's heart, how can I be willing to watch him go out and mess around with other women?"
Zhao Yingying was very dissatisfied and curled her lips silently: "That's because my aunt doesn't want to match me with my cousin."
"Why, do I need to force you two to be together for a love affair?"
Concubine Zhang said displeasedly, "They say those who are close to water get the moon first. You've been by his side since you were little, but you haven't won his favor at all. Now you blame me?"
Butler Zhao also felt that the cousin's words were unfair to the Concubine Dowager, and hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Cousin, you have seen that His Highness is just like that. Wasn't this marriage between the Ji family arranged by the Concubine Dowager, and yet His Highness broke off the engagement in the blink of an eye?"
"Shut up," Zhao Yingying yelled at Butler Zhao, feeling even more upset. "No matter what my aunt says, I will never watch my cousin be bewitched by that bitch again. I'm going to make her pay today."
After saying that, he rushed out the door.
Concubine Zhang shook her head helplessly, too lazy to say anything more.
The Lord of Qining County pretended not to see it, turned his head away proudly and walked out the door.
At this time, in the Pacification Commissioner's Office, Gu Tingchen also heard about the Taowu incident.
I thought Fu Mingchi was just a little arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so shameless and to keep pestering Wanwan.
I guess after this incident, Wanwan has seen Fu Mingchi's true face.
"Is there any news about Xue Jiu?"
Standing on the watchtower, looking at the continuous rain, Gu Tingchen asked in a deep voice.
Liu Zhang shook his head: "Xue Jiu is the brother-in-law of King Yan. He has always been good at practical matters. After receiving the news from the young master, he will definitely lead the troops back to the capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, a messenger suddenly climbed up in a hurry.
Gu Tingchen's eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously, "Where's Xue Jiu? Has he returned with his troops?"
The messenger shook his head tremblingly and handed a letter to Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen tore open the envelope, read the letter with a gloomy expression, and was so angry that his face turned blue.
