Chapter 499
Yuan Jing didn't expect that this matter would eventually implicate him. Although the current situation was at least half caused by him, when Zeng Yuanxin rushed to him to accuse him, Yuan Jing was still amused.
"From the beginning to the end, the one who has the least right to blame me is you, Zeng Yuanxin. You look down on me, Zeng Yuanjing, but don't you think that I was deliberately fattened up by the old lady, and I was also deliberately spoiled by my good uncle and aunt. Even so, I was poisoned by two kinds of toxins and almost died quietly in that mansion, but God opened his eyes and the poison broke out in advance. Are you happy? You look down on a waste like me, but don't you think that if I had any ambition, I would have died in the backyard of that mansion before the poison broke out."
"Besides, the title in that mansion was given up by me, Zeng Yuanjing. His Majesty said in person that the title should fall on me. I gave it up to repay the mansion for raising me. Otherwise, would you, Zeng Yuanxin, still be the crown prince? So what qualifications do you have to condemn me? Even if I take revenge on you, isn't it my duty?"
"You are slandering and framing my parents! You are talking nonsense!" Zeng Yuanxin panicked and denied what Yuan Jing said without thinking.
"I'm talking nonsense? Do you dare to accuse His Majesty of talking nonsense?" Yuan Jing pressed on step by step.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I tell you, my conspiracy will never succeed!" Zeng Yuanxin said some harsh words and turned and ran away.
Yuan Jing sneered at his running back. Jing Lie came up from behind and put his hand on his shoulder. Yuan Jing looked up at him and said with a smile, "It's time to move on to the second step. I wonder if Zeng Yuanxin, the male protagonist, has the courage to come and shout at me after losing Liu Yiyi's helper and then the position of the crown prince."
"Well, seeing him like this, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed. This male lead is too bad."
Yuan Jing was amused by Jing Lie's words. In all the worlds they had experienced before, except for the one about human-demon love, when had they ever held too high hopes for the male protagonist?
Yuan Jing had someone send a letter out. Did he really think that he would let the people in that mansion off just because he gave up his title? The people in that mansion were the culprits for his original body falling into that situation. It would be meaningless to sink them all at once.
They thought that with the title of third-class earl, Zeng Yuanxin, their ambitious son, had returned. One by one, they were eager to return to the ranks of nobles in the capital. However, Yuan Jinghui would tell them that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. This time, Yuan Jinghui would completely defeat them and they would never have a chance to turn over.
At this time, Concubine Han in the Fifth Prince's Mansion also knew about the Yiliu shop that was popular in the capital and even spread outside the capital. Others didn't know, but she knew it. The situation of the shopkeeper Liu who created the Yiliu shop was definitely the same as her. He also traveled from the future. What was her purpose? Would she expose herself?
No, she didn't dare. Exposing herself would be equivalent to exposing Liu Yiyi as well. But with a woman who knew her background around, Han Miao was uneasy. She felt that someone would always have a handle on her. Moreover, her biggest advantage was gone. Liu Yiyi made soap and a series of skin care products. Who knew if she also knew the formulas of glass and gunpowder?
Han Miao also thought about getting soap and other things, but she had her own selfish motives and didn't want to take out all these things at once. She had to leave a way out for herself, because although the Fifth Prince loved her more and more, she was not the only woman in the mansion, and there was also the principal wife above her.
Han Miao was too confident in herself, thinking that she was the only time-traveling girl in the world, so as long as she held on to the prescriptions, she could take them out at any time. However, she did not expect that after the prince of Zeng Yibo's mansion disappeared, he would bring back a time-traveling girl. She said that the time-traveling girl must have seen that the prince's identity was not ordinary after she traveled through time in the body of a village girl, so she saved his life, just to wait for the day when the prince would recover his memory and bring her back to the capital.
Now that this woman is doing very well in the capital, Han Miao can't even sleep well.
She felt that maybe she should have a good talk with this woman and try to reach an agreement. From now on, the world will belong to the Fifth Prince. She should convince the woman to stand on her side, that is, the Fifth Prince's side. In the future, she can serve as a backer for this woman. Smart people should know how to choose.
Moreover, she could ask the Fifth Prince to come forward and help her solve the troubles in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, so that she could marry the Marquis's son legitimately and become his wife. In this way, she could also help the Fifth Prince to win over the power of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. She remembered that Zeng Kang and his son also left their names in history.
She didn't remember whether the title of the Earl of Yongyi had been demoted in history, but she remembered that later the mansion was promoted to Duke Yongyi under Zeng Yuanxin's leadership. So if she stepped forward to bring Zeng Yuanxin over, the Fifth Prince would definitely credit her with this. When the Fifth Prince ascended to the throne in the future, even if she could not become the Queen, she would at least have the position of a Royal Concubine.
With this thought in mind, Han Miao went out of the mansion confidently. A concubine should have sought the consent of the principal wife before leaving the mansion, but because of the Fifth Prince's favor, her status in the mansion was no lower than that of the principal wife. She could go out whenever she wanted without asking the principal wife's opinion. Han Miao was very proud of herself.
On the contrary, the Queen knew Han Miao's actions. When the people around her were angry that Han Miao did not take their master seriously, the Queen was calm and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let them jump up and down. We will live our own lives behind closed doors. Even if they jump up and down now, they will regret it when they fall down badly in the future."
She originally thought that the Fifth Prince was a smart man, but the more she looked at him, the more desperate she became. Unfortunately, she had already boarded the Fifth Prince's boat and could not back down even if she wanted to.
When Liu Yiyi learned the identity of the woman who was going to meet her, she felt that the boot she had been waiting for had finally dropped. She thought to herself, it's good to have come. Let's see what she thinks.
Liu Yiyi already knew who the owner of the glass shop was. It was no longer a secret in the capital. Liu Yiyi originally thought that there was something strange about the fifth prince, but after checking many things, she finally cast her suspicion on Han, the most favored concubine in the fifth prince's mansion. It was said that Han was even better than the main wife. At that time, Liu Yiyi felt that this time-traveling girl was not a smart one. She jumped so hard, did she think that the emperor would not see it? Would the emperor choose a prince who favored his concubine and killed his wife to succeed him?
If he can't even manage his own backyard, then this ability can't be considered outstanding.
At this time, Liu Yiyi didn't know that the Fifth Prince had Han Miao's help and even made gunpowder. If she knew, she would probably want to stay as far away from Han Miao as possible.
Liu Yiyi brought Han Miao to the VIP room upstairs. The confidentiality here was much stronger than other places. She didn't want their conversation to be known by a third party, but she didn't know that in addition to time travelers, there were also people with cheats like Yuan Jing and Jing Lie.
When Yuan Jing knew that the two were going to meet, he excitedly pulled Jing Lie out. How could he miss such a meaningful and historical meeting?
Han Miaowei raised her chin and said, "Very good, it seems that you already know my identity and background, so let's get straight to the point. If you cooperate with me, I will help you become the wife of the prince of Yongyi Marquis's mansion. With the Fifth Prince as your backer, your future mother-in-law will not dare to bully you anymore. She is a bully who only fears the strong and only bullies the weak."
Liu Yiyi almost reached out to pick her ears in an indecent manner to see if she had heard wrongly. Who was this lunatic who wanted to help her become the Crown Prince's wife in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion?
"Wait, can I ask Concubine what you did before you came here?" She needed to judge the IQ level of this Concubine Han.
"I'm an online author. In addition to knowing the direction of this period of history, I've also looked up a lot of information for writing novels. For example, I know how to make glass and soap and so on. It's the best choice to cooperate with me. Don't you know that the one who will inherit the throne in the future will be the current Fifth Prince?" Han Miao said to Liu Yiyi with a look of bestowing a favor. She was quite proud of herself. She was the story of a concubine's counterattack, while Liu Yiyi was just the story of a village girl's counterattack. No matter how you look at it, her luck and starting point were much higher than Liu Yiyi's.
Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes in her heart. She also realized the biggest difference between herself and Han Miao, that is, Han Miao came from the afterlife of this world, while she traveled to an unfamiliar ancient time and space. She had no idea who the next emperor would be. In fact, she had some guesses in her mind before meeting Han Miao. Seeing that Han Miao's choice was to go straight to the biggest beneficiary, she guessed that the fifth prince would ascend to the throne in the end.
But now, can the fifth prince still stand out in the fight? Looking at Han Miao in front of her, she was a little skeptical.
"Can you write novels like 'Repaying Gratitude' and 'The Yellow Beam Dream'?" Liu Yiyi couldn't help but ask. She had also read these two novels, and sometimes she couldn't help but wonder whether the author named Si Yao had any background.
Han Miao felt a little embarrassed. Her novels were just average, but what did it matter? "People who write storybooks are not good enough for the upper class. This is ancient times, not modern times. Have you thought about it?"
Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes in her heart again. She used to write online novels, but now she came to ancient times and looked down on people who wrote vernacular novels. Maybe this author Si Yao would be passed down to later generations and become more famous than any of them now.
To be honest, when Liu Yiyi found out that Repaying Gratitude was very similar to her own experience, she bought a copy to read. Others thought that Repaying Gratitude ended happily, but Liu Yiyi read a warning from the ending. Is that really the kind of life she wants? From then on, she would live in the backyard and raise her children, relying on a man for her whole life?
"No," Liu Yiyi refused, "I had already decided before you came. I don't want to marry into the Yongyi Marquis's mansion and raise children. Compared to that kind of life, I would rather be the current head shopkeeper Liu."
