"Dad, I'm not Xiao Yuwei, how can I know everything?"
[I may not know much about other people's affairs, but I know everything about our family.
You were framed for rebellion and nearly torn to pieces by five horses. My mother was drugged and nearly lost her innocence. She committed suicide by taking poison with a bad reputation.
The eldest brother was stabbed in the back and died on the battlefield, and was trampled into mud by the northern barbarians' cavalry. The second brother passed the imperial examination and went to take up a post in another place, but was framed and assassinated, and he lost his official position and died in a mass grave.
I was even more miserable. I married into the Sixth Prince's mansion and was tortured to death. My generous dowry was taken away by my eldest cousin, and my whole family suffered a miserable end.
Tao Yuwei said this vaguely, turned around and left.
When Tao Zhihong heard her thoughts, he was so shocked that his face turned pale and his hands shook uncontrollably.
The first few things my daughter said all came true.
However, thanks to the efforts of him and his daughter, those who harmed them did not end up well.
But the person hiding in the dark has not been eliminated yet, and those people before were just their pawns.
It seems that his two sons will be the next to go.
The boss Tao Zipeng was ambushed by the northern barbarians and his whereabouts are unknown.
The second son is still studying well in the Imperial College. It seems that the next disaster should be related to the eldest son.
After being ambushed by the Northern Barbarians, King Junshan was in collusion with them. Now, he seems to have figured out who the mastermind behind the scenes is.
Well, the time for revenge has come.
Tao Zhihong decided to use the Northern Barbarians' delegation as a breakthrough point to kill those evil bastards.
Tao Yuwei, who was being questioned by her father, didn't know that her father had already started to make trouble secretly.
At this time, she had abandoned all her worries and was invited by the third princess to the palace to eat melons.
Tao Yuwei is inexplicably keen on eating melons.
The third princess, Xiao Daifu, sat in her palace with a smile on her face, eating iced watermelon and chatting with Tao Yuwei.
"Anle, do you know? When Second Brother heard that Wu Hanmo had become my consort, he unexpectedly came to congratulate me and even wanted to invite Wu Hanmo to his house. What do you think he was planning?"
The third princess Xiao Daifu gave Tao Yuwei the feeling that this person was much closer to her than before.
In the past, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess had never taken the initiative to invite her into the palace to talk.
Now, ever since His Majesty issued an edict to betroth her to her eldest cousin Wu Hanmo, his attitude towards her has changed.
The tone of his speech was much more casual than before.
Some things no longer need to be considered or prioritized.
Is this the question I should ask her?
"What ideas could he have? Isn't he always very noble and disdainful of using his marriage for personal gain?"
Tao Yuwei felt that among Emperor Jianchang's sons, only the second prince had a more unique perspective on things.
In order to gain that position, other princes tried every possible means to win over forces, form cliques, and obtain more support, hoping to sit on that position one day.
The second prince, like his brothers, also wanted to sit on that throne and was extremely arrogant. But what made him different was that he was unwilling to use his marriage as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.
After hearing her comments, the third princess put down the watermelon in her hand and laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.
"Anle, speaking of this, I remembered a particularly funny story about my second brother. Would you like to hear it?"
Seeing Xiao Daifu's teeth showing through her smile, Tao Yuwei put down the half piece of watermelon in her hand, washed her hands in the basin brought by the palace maid, and said, "You talk, I listen."
What kind of big thing could make the third princess laugh so hard that she doesn't care about her image?
"My second brother brought back a peasant girl from outside the palace a few days ago and insisted on marrying her. To win Concubine Gao's consent, what do you think he did?"
"As long as they truly love each other and are united in spirit, nothing else matters."
Tao Yuwei felt that with the Second Prince's arrogant personality, he thought he had just met true love and it was no big deal.
Xiao Daifu shook her head. "In order to marry that peasant girl, he specifically argued with Concubine Gao, saying that the peasant girl must be his wife. If she didn't marry him, he would become a monk."
"The virtuous concubine was so enraged by him that she immediately lost her temper, but she forcibly held it in and calmly told the peasant girl that the Second Prince was already engaged, and if she wanted to stay, she would have to become a concubine."
Tao Yuwei didn't find it funny.
"Fool, he's using the wrong method. If I were him, I would definitely be sincere and have a good discussion with the Emperor, trying to get an imperial decree granting the marriage."
Tao Yuwei smiled and looked at the Third Princess. "As long as he obtains the imperial decree granting the marriage, it will be equivalent to obtaining the imperial sword. No matter how reluctant Concubine Gao is, she will have no choice but to accept it, unless she is determined to find a way to ruin this marriage."
Thinking of the Second Prince's straight-laced behavior, she sighed and shook her head, "In front of Concubine Gao, the Second Prince's hard-nosed behavior will only harm the woman he loves."
Concubine Gao would think that the woman, who had no background and was of humble origin, was not worthy of her son at all.
If her son wanted to marry, he could choose any noble lady from the family of a prince or a minister.
He would even despise and resent the woman for misleading his son, deliberately destroying the relationship between mother and son, and not bringing any benefits to his son.
No matter what tricks Concubine Gao used, the woman would be in danger.
"You are the only one in the whole capital who dares to call us princes and princesses fools."
What did Xiao Daifu mean by the admiring look she gave him when she said this?
