Chapter 73 This Princess Can’t Help Me at All
Bu Yanfu became anxious and yelled, "I'm different from the Crown Princess. The baby in my belly is really Prince Yongning's, not someone else's."
Bu Ruo was startled: "Why are you reacting so strongly? You scared me! I didn't say it was someone else's."
"But even if it's Prince Yongning's, so what? Does Prince Yongning need children? Or will he die if you don't get the position of Princess Yongning? You think too highly of yourself."
Tian pulled Bu Yanfu hard and said, "Fuer, don't be rude. The princess is right. Don't forget what we are here for today."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Bu Ruo's loving motherly face and said, "Princess, we are here today to ask you for help because of this matter. Please help Fu'er because we share the same ancestors."
"If Fu'er becomes the Princess of Yongning, it would also be good for you, wouldn't it? Family members should always help each other."
Bu Ruo waved her hands: "Stop, you are you, I am me, you and I are not a family, not when you tried to occupy the Zhenguo Mansion and bully an orphan like me."
"As for your daughter becoming the Princess of Yongning, whether she can become the Princess is her business. What does it have to do with me? I don't think there is anything I can ask her for help with."
"So... let's go. This princess can't help me at all."
Tian was anxious: "Why can't I help? I can help! I heard that the dowry Wumingshan gave you contained a trade document for the border with the Southern Xia Kingdom. You can use this document to exchange for Fu'er's position as princess, and the emperor will definitely agree."
Bu Ruo was simply stunned by her shamelessness.
"Why should I use the documents in my dowry to exchange for your position as princess? Who are you? Do you think you are worthy of that document?"
Tian gritted her teeth and said, "If the princess doesn't agree today, and something happens to the child in Fu'er's belly in Prince Zhan's mansion, even if you are the princess, you won't be able to explain to Prince Yongning and the emperor. No matter what happens to Fu'er, she is still carrying a royal heir."
Bu Ruo was so angry that she laughed: "I have met many people in my life, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you."
"Let me tell you, let alone anything that happens to the child in her belly in Prince Zhan's mansion, even if Bu Yanfu dies in Prince Zhan's mansion today, I won't even blink an eye."
"By the way, I will tell Prince Yongning and the Emperor everything you just said, word for word. I hope you'll be mentally prepared."
"Come here, kick these two out of the house. Never let them set foot in Prince Zhan's house again. If they try to break in, I'll kill them wherever they come in. If they die, I'll take responsibility."
When the servants heard Bu Ruo's words, they stepped forward and forked the two of them and walked out. Tian wanted to make amends, but she no longer had the chance.
"Miss, please don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself hurt by people like them."
"By the way, I also heard a piece of gossip. The reason why the third house came so quickly is because they were afraid that the second house would come before them to ask you for help."
"The second branch?" Bu Ruo frowned. "No wonder my good grandfather asked me to save the second and third branches. This must be the reason. What happened to them?"
Bi'er said as she wrote a list for Butler Qin, "The second wife's family used money to buy her foolish son a small official position in the next county. But unexpectedly, the foolish son tried to steal his fiancée and accidentally beat her to death. The girl was heartbroken and felt ashamed to live in this world. She jumped into the well that night."
"The second branch originally wanted to smooth things over with money, but the man was the only son in three generations, and he was treasured like the apple of their eye. Besides, the two families were already doing business in the local area and had no shortage of money."
"Now they have gone to the capital to file a complaint with the emperor. They arrived in Kyoto yesterday. The second house is now in a panic."
"The Third House must be worried that you'd agree to the Second House's trade agreement in exchange for your foolish son's safety, so they came rushing to see you so early in the morning."
Bu Ruo snorted, "They think too much. Even if the princess tears up the trade document, she won't exchange it for benefits for them. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to my third senior brother's kindness?"
Soon after, Butler Qin arrived and said, "Princess, the people from the Bu family's second branch have arrived. The gatekeeper didn't let them in, but they're standing at the door and refusing to leave no matter what."
Bu Ruo nodded: "Kill them with a big stick and go somewhere else if you want to stay here. Don't dirty the entrance of our palace."
"Wait! I heard that Jin Congcong has been practicing martial arts with Cen Nan every morning these days, and he's quite angry. Let him go! Find him the thickest stick, and I'll take responsibility if he kills me."
"If those scoundrels weren't related to me, there would be some karmic repercussions for me beating them to death. I wouldn't need anyone else to do it, I would have done it myself!"
"It's so frustrating not being able to express my anger..."
"Bi'er! Where are the ancestors? Which room are they in?!"
Beau: ...
"She was sitting on the bed in the west guest room. Um... maybe she was lying down. I didn't pay much attention when she fell down that day."
Bier watched Bu Ruo get up and leave, and silently prayed for the ancestors of the Bu family in her heart.
Ten days passed in a flash. Xiao Yulan's condition had visibly improved, and his face was not as pale as before. Bu Ruo had not gone out and had been reading the Book of Revelation in the mansion.
As for the trade documents, Bu Ruo had Xiao Yulan's people deliver them to the palace three days ago, with the condition being... she wanted the Taoist priest to tell her fortune.
Bu Ruo: I just want to test his background, I have no intention of seeing the old immortal.
"Bi'er, push this princess' wheelchair over here. Let's go out for a walk today. It's been so many days, and I don't know if Mo Bao has found out who the prince's biological father is."
"Xiao Yulan is such a jerk. Every time I ask him, he says to wait a little longer. I don't know what he wants me to wait for. Fortunately, he doesn't know that Yanzhilou is mine. Tsk tsk, this guy really needs to have some secrets."
As Bier pushed Buruo out of the house, two disheveled men rushed over and almost scared Buruo to stand up.
“Who is it?!”
Bi'er went up and kicked the person away, then looked carefully for a long time: "Miss, it's someone from the second house."
"Ruo'er... Ruo'er, Second Uncle begs you, please save your cousin. He... he's been arrested by the Ministry of Justice. Second Uncle begs you."
"Second Aunt is begging you, too. You're the only one who can save your cousin now. You're Princess Zhan, an orphan of the Bu family, a descendant of a meritorious official, and you have the trade documents with the Southern Xia Kingdom. Just say the word, and your cousin will be free."
"Second Aunt... Second Aunt kowtows to you, kowtows to you, Ruo'er... Ruo'er..."
As the second house cried and made a fuss, many people who came to watch the fun gradually gathered outside Prince Zhan's mansion.
