Chapter 5 Return of Gift
He ignored her and became anxious, saying that he didn't care about the position of crown prince, he only wanted Yongjia.
But, "Who is Yongjia, why would he want someone as useless as you."
After he said this, Xie Yunzhao was stunned, and then walked out of his study in a daze.
Now you are using such despicable means to rob? He glared at Xie Yunzhao with hatred.
Xie Yunzhao seemed to know what he was thinking and greeted him frankly, "Don't look at me like that. I won't use such means." Especially to her.
How could he bear to let her fall into the water? How could I bear to let her commit suicide! Are you willing to let her be criticized?
Seeing that he did not admit it, Xie Yunzheng withdrew his gaze. It was already like this, what was the point of arguing further?
But Yongjia shouldn't be kept in the dark, and he must tell her when he has the chance.
Only I am truly kind to her.
Qiutong Courtyard had become quiet at this time. Chen Shurong was accompanied by the Princess of the County. The eldest princess was really tired that day and went back to rest.
Seeing Xie Yunzhao's name written on her imperial edict granting marriage, Shen Shurong breathed a sigh of relief.
The brothers were born from the same mother, but their personalities were completely different. Xie Yunzhao and Xie Yun were at two extremes in their fight for survival. Both brothers were very popular, with one being praised and the other being criticized.
She wanted to change praise into criticism, but neither the Princess's Mansion nor the Prince's Mansion would agree. Only when her life was at stake would they make concessions.
He was wronged today, but she would make it up to him.
"Where's Jinzhi?"
"She cried and said she felt sorry for you and that lovers could not end up together." Yinzhi wiped her hands carefully and applied peach blossom cream evenly. How could the princess's delicate hands hold broken porcelain pieces?
The Princess nodded. These two girls had followed her daughter since she was young and knew what was going on for her.
Shen Shurong smiled faintly: "She is thoughtful."
Jin Xiaoniang, Xie Yunzheng's only concubine in his previous life, was probably commemorating her dead love.
She has held a high position since she was young and was brought up too well. She never cares about others and cannot even tell what the people around her are thinking.
"Why aren't you crying?"
The Princess glared at her and said, "Who will serve you if you cry?"
Yinzhi lowered her head and said, "As long as you are well, no matter who you marry, I will protect you well."
"Don't you think Xie Yunzhao is not worthy of me?"
"In my opinion, no one is worthy of the princess. Although Mr. Xie is not a good person, he has known you since childhood. The princess knows his temper, and he also knows that the princess is delicate. It is not a blind marriage."
"I think he will never be older than the princess, so he will listen to you in everything. Look, the imperial edict says that he will not take concubines, but Master Xie never promised that."
The Princess suddenly felt that her advice made sense: "If you take good care of the princess, I won't punish you severely for what happened today, just one month's salary."
"Thank you, Princess." Yinzhi bowed her head quickly.
Chen Shurong smiled: "Let Jinzhi rest until tomorrow noon. I have nothing to do here, so you don't have to serve me all the time."
She didn't want to see her now, she just hoped that she could be successful and make Xie Yunzheng's backyard lively.
"Yes." Yinzhi paused and applied the lotion even more slowly. Jinzhi was too reckless. The princess had just gotten into trouble and she was not around to serve her.
"Princess, thank you for the gifts sent by the prince."
It was the maid Sui Han, who was also faked dead and sent to the palace. She had been taking care of her and was still second-class now. "Okay, let the housekeeper send her back to the Duke of Lu's Mansion, and bring back everything I sent him."
"Yes." Sui Han took the order and left.
The princess waved her hand, asking Yinzhi to leave. She took her daughter's hand and looked at the scratch. "I've brought you all the bracelets in the storehouse. Wear them in turn."
"Thank you, Mom." This string of red coral is nice.
"Hey, actually, the prince doesn't care, so why bother?" The princess sighed and poked her little face, "Let him go, the other young ladies in the capital will laugh at you, they have a chance now."
"Mom, my brother deserves better." Chen Shurong doesn't care. Whoever marries her will get a dowry.
The princess of the county stopped trying to persuade him. If she continued to rebel, she would blame her. “From now on, you and Xie Er should get along well.”
"mother."
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Give your daughter more dowry."
The princess wanted to laugh, but the girl started crying and said, "Mother knows, I'll give you a lot."
......
At the Duke of Lu's Mansion, Xie Yunzheng saw that all the gifts he had sent were returned. He felt like a huge rock was blocking his heart and he couldn't breathe.
The housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion bowed and said, "Thank you, my lord. Please find the gift from the princess and I will take it away."
Xie Yunzheng couldn't catch his breath and choked. He coughed for a long time and waved his hand for the servant to clean up.
Lu Ziqian walked into Xie Yunzhao's Linfengju and patted the smirking man on the shoulder, "What are you thinking about? No one knows who came in?"
Xie Yunzhao asked him, "Why are you here?"
"I'm still worried about you. How did you solve it in the end?"
Xie Yunzhao bit his lip and said nothing. He didn't want to be happy because he would feel despicable. However, he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.
He opened the locked box, took out the imperial edict and handed it to him, "Look for yourself."
Lu Ziqian knelt down, with a sad face, "Did you alarm His Majesty?"
He took it, opened it and looked at it, his eyes widened, "You, you, you marry the princess?" He raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with shock, "Did the prince agree?"
Xie Yunzhao put his hands behind his back and said, "This is an imperial decree. What can Xie Yunzheng do?"
Lu Ziqian stroked his chest, what a big change: "I'll give it back to you, just say no, it's better not to take it out to scare people."
After the imperial edict was taken away, he stood up and said, "I was wondering why I saw the housekeeper of the Princess's Mansion delivering something when I entered the house."
"What are you sending?" Xie Yunzhao looked back.
"I don't know, but I heard it was given to the prince."
"Qingzhu, go ask." Xie Yunzhao added to the door: "Be respectful."
"I'll go right away." Qingzhu knew who he should pay his respects to. It wouldn't be someone from Chaohuiyuan.
"You said we were going to look for him today?" Lu Ziqian kicked him with a grin.
Xie Yunzhao glared at him again. How could he do that? "Even you speculate about me in this way?"
Lu Ziqian stopped joking, "How could that be? I'm just happy for you."
"only……"
"Just what? Say it openly." He hesitated to speak, which showed that he was sick.
"The princess, to your elder brother..."
Xie Yunzhao lowered his eyes, and the joy he had originally felt was gone. "I owe her, and I will do my best to compensate her."
Lu Ziqian came over, touched his chest, and narrowed his eyes, "Do you mind here?"
What do you mind? Her heart?
She was willing to seek death and agreed to marry him, even if it meant taking his life.
Lu Ziqian didn't understand, and he didn't say anything, so he felt bored and sat down to drink tea.
Qingzhu came back quickly, "Second Master, the princess returns all the gifts she gave before."
Xie Yunzhao's eyes lit up, "See the guest off."
Lu Ziqian: See the guests off? Who to send it to?
"Please come in, Mr. Lu San." Qingzhu has already invited someone.
Xie Yunzhao had no time to deal with him. Rongrong was his fiancée now. If he didn't let Xie Yun fight for the things, he could keep them for himself.
