Chapter 137 She's Not Bad for You
Cheng Nianying was stunned by the question.
Well, yes, that's right. In the past, she could just as well not allow him to take a concubine because she was pretending to be the princess of a county.
What he said now is certainly not wrong.
only……
Cheng Nianying frowned.
She suddenly looked up and saw Fu Yi grabbing her wrist and lifting her sleeve. With their skin pressed so tightly together, her cold skin managed to warm up little by little.
"How can I care about the prince?" Cheng Nianying broke away from him, "but since the prince is getting married, why does he need me to serve him?"
I almost got tricked by him!
"So what? Cen San has four concubines, and who knows how many lovers he has outside. Why can't I do it?"
Cheng Nianying vaguely felt that these words were playing tricks on Mr. Cen Sanye.
But she had no evidence.
She opened her mouth, about to speak.
Fu Yi had already taken the initiative to answer in a cold voice: "Are you trying to say that you can't be corrupted by wealth and power, and you don't want to be a slave to others? If I force you, you will die?"
Cheng Nianying looked at him without saying anything.
Fu Yi: “…”
good.
It looked as if he was going to stab him to death with one blow.
Cheng Nianying was still thinking about his repeated mention of "death from illness", which sounded like a common excuse among nobles.
If any wife or concubine was tortured to death, it could be explained as death due to illness.
There is no benefit in tearing each other apart like this.
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment, then said a few nice words to him: "The one walking beside you today, is that Miss Yao from the second house?"
She said, "I think she is also very beautiful."
Now that it has come to this, there is no need to protect anything for the Wuning Marquis Mansion anymore.
Cheng Nianying then said sincerely: "It would be good for her to be the prince's wife."
Fu Yi: "..." His throat suddenly felt choked and painful.
The room fell into a deadlocked silence once again.
Cheng Nianying was puzzled.
Isn't this unpleasant to hear?
Fu Yi pinched his finger bones until they crackled, and the emotions surging in his chest found no outlet.
No matter how powerful a killer is, he is only a mortal. How can he escape the net woven by several well-trained guards?
He didn't have to.
She deceived him and forced Qin Yurong back on him... Even if he insisted on taking her by force, it would be easy for him to vent the resentment in his chest.
The thought flashed through Fu Yi's mind.
Cheng Nianying spoke again: "It's just that the Cen family is not very good."
This is also a sincere statement.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yi finally responded.
"The Cen family is Weiyang's support and patronage. People here say I'm an outsider and bully me at will, relying on the power of the Cen family."
She whispered, "That's the only bad thing."
Fu Yi straightened his clothes, returned to the table and sat down, gradually regaining some composure.
He said, "The Cen family's daughter is not good either."
Cheng Nianying was stunned.
Fu Yi had already continued, "The Cen family is not good. Since she enjoys the Cen family's wealth and splendor, is she really ignorant of their various ways?"
He paused for a moment and said, "How can I marry a woman like this? What good is it if she's beautiful? There have always been many beauties in the Imperial Capital."
"Then...then you should change your wife."
"But the daughter of the Cen family was chosen by the Empress."
It turned out to be the Empress's idea, just like when the Emperor had decided on Qin Yurong without any explanation.
Cheng Nianying curled her fingertips and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
"Tell me, what should I do?" Fu Yi looked at her.
Ask her? How would she know?
"The prince is smart and will naturally have a plan to deal with it."
"Really?" Fu Yi's eyes did not move. "If that were the case, how could they allow a living person to escape from the Prince's Mansion?"
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips.
At this moment, there was no hope left.
The affairs of the Imperial Capital have been fully revealed!
He was very clever... She had never thought she could keep it a secret from him. That was why she kept trying to persuade Qin Yurong to go with her. However, no one in the Wuning Marquis's mansion was willing to listen.
"Can't answer again?" Fu Yi smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in that smile.
Cheng Nianying licked her dry lips, still keeping her composure, and said, "There is no one missing from the Prince's Mansion."
“…”Is that the case?
Fu Yi pressed his brows with his fingers to suppress those violent, cold and restless thoughts.
He even tried to soften his expression as he asked, "Am I not treating you well enough?"
Cheng Nianying met his eyes.
As deep as a cold abyss.
Cheng Nianying nodded, then shook her head.
Fu Yi laughed angrily: "What do you mean?"
Cheng Nianying wanted to keep her composure and deny it, but at this moment she couldn't help but ask softly, "Didn't I treat the prince well back then?"
Now it was Fu Yi's turn to pause.
If he wants to sleep, let him sleep, Cheng Nianying thought.
The last time, it caused her some pain.
It doesn't mean that she has done anything wrong to the prince.
The original mistake of arranging the marriage to the Marquis of Wuning was the old emperor's fault. He issued an order, and no one could disobey.
Secondly, it was the fault of the Marquis of Wuning and his wife. It was their poor upbringing that made Qin Yurong focus all her attention on that man.
She had to be asked to fill this gap.
Cheng Nianying gritted her teeth and thought more firmly, that's right. Even if Fu Yi hated her and wanted to kill her, she would never surrender.
Fu Yi stood up, his tone strangely light: "Are you trying to tell me that this is even?"
Cheng Nianying moved her lips.
No, what she wanted to say was that just because he treated her well, she shouldn't stay.
Cause and effect are not defined in this way.
"Marquis Wuning is now unemployed at home and dares not see his former colleagues. His wife dares not even step out of the door. His eldest son is now in prison, and his youngest son doesn't even go to the official school. They quarrel all day long... It is becoming increasingly difficult for the mansion to survive." Fu Yi said slowly.
"I should be relieved. The Wuning Marquisate paid their price."
"But there's still a fire of resentment in my heart that's hard to extinguish."
"How can anything in this world be easily settled? Don't you understand this truth?"
Whether it was when he ran into Cen San and her in the same room just now, or when he first saw her earlier, the Danshuo County Prince only then revealed a full sense of oppression.
But Cheng Nianying didn't understand.
Why was he even angrier now?
Cheng Nianying opened her mouth and said, "...I know. Because the prince is a noble."
As she spoke, she became a little angry: "Because your anger is always harder to appease than that of others."
"Others can be bullied, but how can you bully a noble person? I know."
She figured it out.
In Fu Yi's heart, she felt sorry for him.
"The prince feels that I have damaged your reputation..."
When Fu Yi heard this, he laughed again in anger: "Really?"
"I've seen many nobles tame eagles. They don't love the eagles, but because the eagles don't love them, they think the eagles are precious and must be tamed!"
"Nonsense." Fu Yi's face darkened.
"That's it..."
Before Cheng Nianying could finish her words, her stomach suddenly growled, instantly ruining the atmosphere.
Fu Yi suppressed her anger, remembering that the medicine she took when she left Beijing must have worn off.
Why bother with her?
Why?
Why?
He bent his fingers, pursed his lips, and the words that came out of his mouth finally turned into a sentence: "...Come here, bring some food."
