Chapter 113 The Conspiracy Emerges
Marquis Chengyi used to dote on his second wife, but now he wants to strangle himself for being short-sighted and only caring about her beauty.
I should have listened to my mother's arrangement and married a lady from a prominent family. Although Qin is beautiful, she is not fit to be the mistress of a family.
Not only is her parents not helpful, they can't even raise the children properly. They turned their good son into a fool, and their daughter is so selfish that she can't tell right from wrong.
He should have locked that damn girl up when she took the initiative to find a husband for herself.
This isn't finding him a relative at all; this is finding him an enemy.
If it weren't for these two troublesome in-laws, his Marquis Chengyi's Mansion might have been visited by Dongchang on the wedding day.
Although Qin has no sense of the overall situation and is often confused, she still knows her man very well.
As soon as she saw this, she knew that her uncle was really angry. She didn't dare to plead with her parents' family anymore and could only admit her mistakes.
Unfortunately, the tricks I used in the past didn't work this time.
Marquis Chengyi directly seized her housekeeper rights and had her locked up in the yard, forbidding her to have any contact with the outside world.
Xie Lin, who arrived a step later, gave a mocking smile, as if these people's chaos had little to do with him.
This family is absolutely rotten, and there's nothing wrong with them being ruined.
Anyway, her sister marrying far away won't affect her at all. As for herself, she is a useless person.
It's good to be alive, and it doesn't matter if you die. It's fun to play anything!
Everyone who returned from the birthday banquet at the Bo Mansion had their own thoughts. The most panicked among them were the little girls who had caused trouble for Jiang Xinyu.
The little girl was naive and she burst into tears and confessed everything to her mother when she got home.
The ladies also had different reactions.
Some were so angry that they scolded their children, while others loved their children so much that they could not bear to blame them. But without exception, these ladies hated Jiang Wanqiu.
At their age, there was nothing they didn't understand. It was just that Jiang Wanqiu was using their daughters as pawns in the Jiang family's dispute over the legitimate and illegitimate children's rights.
Although she is still young, she is so cunning and vicious. This girl is definitely not a good person.
They knew that their daughter liked Jiang Wanqiu and excluded Jiang Xinyu, but they thought that there was no need to take the intrigues of a group of young girls to heart.
It takes experience to judge people. When you are young, it is not a bad thing to make a small loss if you misjudge a few people.
But they didn't expect that their daughter was so naive in her protection, and they didn't expect Jiang Wanqiu to be so despicable.
With Jiang Xinyu's current identity, she still dares to use their daughter to get ahead. It is obvious that she only wants to vent her anger and doesn't care about the life and death of others at all.
On this day, these little girls were given another lesson in house fighting by their mother.
Except for one or two sisters who were unwilling to make malicious assumptions, most of the people came to their senses and gnashed their teeth in hatred when they mentioned Jiang Wanqiu.
But the matter was not over after teaching the children. The ladies of each family hurriedly prepared expensive gifts and were ready to take their daughters to the Governor's Mansion to pay tribute and apologize early the next morning.
It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family has an unstable temper because of the Liu family's open praise and secret bullying, and Xiao Yuan is even more vindictive and has a fickle temper.
Even though the child was just being taken advantage of because of his ignorance, there is no guarantee that the other person will not take it to heart.
But now they can only lower their posture and strive for a good attitude, hoping that spending money can really avoid disaster.
Some are happy, some are worried, some are joyful, some are sad.
Prince An's Mansion.
A young man who looked 50% like Xie Lin was playing chess with Prince An Jin Zekang. The two chatted while playing chess, and they also talked about interesting stories in the Chengyi Marquis's mansion.
These two people were the ones who were hiding behind the rose bushes and eavesdropping on Jiang Xinyu's verbal battle with the other girls.
The young man with a very low sense of humor is Xie Zhuo, the nephew of Marquis Chengyi. His father is a concubine's son, and he was raised in the Marquis Chengyi's mansion because his parents died early.
Anyway, that's what people say to the outside world. As for the actual details, it depends on his attitude towards the Bo's Mansion. He also knows that there is something wrong here.
The gloomy young man who was with him at the time was the fourth prince Jin Zekang, who had changed his appearance and was also the only one of the old emperor's sons who had a title, Prince An.
But this one thing is not a good thing.
The royal family of Dajin had an unwritten rule that once a prince was crowned king, he would be king for life, which meant that he would have no chance of inheriting the throne.
The fourth prince's mother was of a gentle nature and did not fight for anything. However, she was favored by the old emperor because of her natural beauty.
The old emperor put a lot of thought into protecting this fragile beauty. Otherwise, given Concubine Wan's temperament, she wouldn't be able to give birth to a child, and it's unclear how many days she could live.
Unfortunately, the emperor's favor is the last thing you can count on. In the palace, new people are replaced by old ones. Even though Concubine Wan has been favored for ten years, she still cannot escape the fading of her beauty and the fading of his love.
A little woman who only knows how to love is like a delicate flower that has lost its nourishment after losing the emperor's favor.
After a few years of dying, Concubine Wan passed away, and the once lively and intelligent Fourth Prince had become a useless man bedridden with one leg crippled.
Looking at his son who was emaciated and crying in the mourning hall, the old emperor rarely acted like a kind father and named the fourth prince Prince An to give him a chance to survive.
The word "An" not only means hoping that the son will be safe, but also wants him to behave himself. Only then did the other princes turn their gaze away from the fourth prince.
After leaving the palace, Jin Zekang slowly built up his own power, and his crippled leg had been almost healed, so long as he walked slowly, the limp was not noticeable.
In the eyes of outsiders, Prince An was frail and had difficulty walking, so he rarely went out. In fact, Jin Zekang would occasionally disguise himself and go out under an alias.
Xie Zhuo was one of the few people who knew his true identity, so he was dragged over to join in the birthday banquet at the Marquis Chengyi's mansion today.
You know what, today's excitement did not disappoint him.
Xie Zhuo twisted a chess piece and said with a bad smile, "Guess why King Xiao Hell went out of his way to arrest that old woman during her birthday party?"
Prince An slowly placed a piece down, "What is there to guess? It's just that someone in that mansion has offended him.
That person is ruthless and vindictive, and it is obvious that he made such a scene today just to offend the malicious person."
Xie Zhuo laughed even more foolishly, "You guessed half right, that stupid woman Qin once offended his wife.
This is the one Hua Cong scolded earlier, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family who was originally going to marry Zhao Chengye but ended up marrying Xiao Yuan by mistake."
Prince An paused, "What do you mean?"
Speaking of this, Xie Zhuoke became very excited and told Prince An about the dirty things he had found out about Qin and Jiang Xinyu, exaggerating them. At the end, he said with a smug look on his face,
"Qin has finally hit a wall this time. Just wait and see. I don't think he will be able to save his stupid son."
Jin Zekang looked at Xie Zhuo helplessly, "This is all you've thought of so far."
"What else?"
Prince An suddenly laughed, "Silly boy, you can't just look at the surface of things.
It's just like playing chess. When you place a piece, you have to plan at least ten steps ahead.
Those who take one step at a time will never win. "
As he spoke, Jin Zekang placed another piece, and all of Xie Zhuo's chess pieces were trapped, and he had already lost.
Xie Zhuo pursed his lips in frustration as he packed up his chess pieces.
"Okay, okay, you're awesome.
May I ask what you, Your Highness Prince An, have seen?"
Jin Zekang heard clearly the four words,
"To kill someone with a borrowed knife."
