That was something he could only dream of but never reach...
Zheng Quchi didn't know what had happened between her elder brother and the princess, but she still hoped that nothing had ever happened between them.
Even in today's enlightened world, there are hidden classes of wealth and poverty; one can only imagine how much more so in feudal times. However…
“Brother, whatever you want to do, you can tell me. Even if you just want to reach for the stars in the sky, I will help you build a ladder,” Zheng Quchi said earnestly.
Brother Sang was shocked after hearing this.
"ruler……"
"elder brother……"
Brother Sang said, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
Zheng Quchi: "..." I feel like my enthusiasm has been misplaced.
As the "capture" team set off back to Changxunpo camp, Yuan Chuhua saw Zheng Quchi in the carriage, who sat down opposite him in a very casual manner.
She, a princess, was actually sharing a carriage with a country bumpkin?!
She immediately felt annoyed and uncomfortable.
Why are you sitting here?
Isn't this the carriage going to Changxunpo Camp? Why is she going with it?
"Because there was only one carriage."
"Who asked you about the carriage? What I meant was, why are you coming back with us?"
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."
After leaving the Sang residence, Zheng Quchi no longer concealed his identity: "My surname is not Sang, my surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Quchi."
Zheng Quchi?
Yuan Chuhua thought to himself, "What does your name have to do with me? But Sang Jiahe's sister's surname is Zheng? Aren't they biological siblings?"
But as time ticked by, one second, two seconds, three seconds... her mind suddenly went blank and she realized something.
"Zheng Quchi?! Yuwen Sheng's country wife?" She was utterly shocked.
Zheng Quchi: "..."
She now seems to know her image and how she is referred to in private within aristocratic circles.
She sighed softly: "You didn't hear a single word I said to that city lord?"
Yuan Chuhua had no time to care about these things at the time. She was worried that she would be recognized and was planning to create some chaos to escape. However, she did not expect that a female bandit would appear to protect her from disaster.
And this female bandit is the woman who owns the marriage proposal that is still on her father's desk.
"You actually married Yuwen Sheng? No, I mean, Yuwen Sheng actually married you? Did you use some kind of trick?" She asked, looking at her with a look of utter astonishment.
Zheng Quchi said, "I thought your first sentence would be, 'Yuwen Sheng is mine.' You'd better know your place and leave, or I'll make you regret it."
Yuan Chuhua was stunned for a moment, then thought about her words carefully and found it funny: "We don't even know if Yuwen Sheng is alive or dead now, why should I fight over this mess? As for you, were you tricked into staying, or did you stay because you are deeply in love with Yuwen Sheng?"
"Neither," Zheng Quchi shook his head.
Now Yuan Chuhua was curious: "Oh, what's the reason?"
Zheng Quchi smiled sweetly and spouted nonsense: "Naturally, it's because I want to accept this immense wealth."
Yuan Chuhua: "..."
Her expression at this moment can be summed up in a few words: I thought you were innocent, kind, and unpretentious, but I never imagined you were this kind of woman behind the scenes!
Outside, Wei Yao, driving the car, listened to the conversation between Princess Sheng'an and her wife and found it all quite amusing.
There was no extravagant wealth or enjoyment to speak of. The lady had always faced various hardships and dangers, and countless life-and-death situations. Even Sheng An knew that this was a huge mess, but the lady never backed down in the slightest and always dealt with it with the most positive and optimistic attitude.
This is Zheng Quchi, the woman he met for the first time. Despite being ridiculed and mocked by others, she was able to calmly and confidently say, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen such a short and strong man like me before?"
——
The three major difficulties that were recently faced have all made progress to varying degrees, and it must be said that this is all thanks to Zheng Quchi.
When members of the Yuwen family came to reclaim the main residence and take over Yuwen Sheng's private property, she temporarily calmed them down by claiming she was an "unborn child."
The fundraising for the military is proceeding in an orderly manner. The workshop has started construction, and the "Black Bear" transport vehicle is on its way to completion. A businessman has also been hired to manage their affairs. Domestic and international sales channels have already been established. They are just waiting for a sufficient supply of goods to launch the first salvo in Ye Kingdom's vehicle manufacturing.
Princess Sheng'an, who had gone missing, has now been found, and the Prince of Ye has no excuse to cause them trouble for the time being.
Upon returning to the Changxunpo camp, Zheng Quchi instructed Wei Yao to keep a close watch on Yuan Chuhua, ensuring she never escaped again. Then, they sent a message back to the Prince of Ye in Shengjing.
Once they received a response, they would escort the person back.
However, since the matter concerning the chief eunuch and his men had not yet been resolved, she asked Wei Yao, "Brother Wei, did you find out anything during your interrogation yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Yao's expression immediately turned very serious. He nodded and said, "I was just about to report this to you. They are definitely not an ordinary group of bandits."
Who are they?
Wei Yao looked around and whispered to her, "They are the guards with swords from the late king's harem."
"The late Queen?"
“That’s right. I never expected that such an old story would be discovered among a group of bandits. Madam, you may not know, but the Prince of Ye has married two queens. The first queen passed away thirteen years ago, leaving behind a son. However, on the very day the first queen passed away, this group of guards with swords disappeared along with the eldest prince and remained missing for thirteen years.”
