The fourth prince Jing Chengzhi?
Ni Yueshan was stunned: "Why grant the marriage to the prince? I was divorced, so am I still a popular woman?"
"Because both princes have asked the emperor for permission to marry them!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Ni Gaofei in surprise. Since both princes had requested for marriage, the emperor had a hard time choosing and decided to just wait and see how they performed.
Now the results are out, Jing Chengzhi is superior, Jing Yuchen is inferior...
Ni Yueshan's mouth twitched. Although it was a matter between three people, she was the only one who had not been asked for her opinion.
Seeing Ni Yueshan's changing expression, there was no joy at all.
Ni Gaofei said solemnly, "I don't want you to marry anyone at this time, but the emperor has spoken, and there is basically no room for maneuver!"
"The imperial edict hasn't come down yet, so there's still room for maneuver! Father, please explain to the Emperor that I'm being divorced because I'm morally deficient, ugly, and rude, and I'm unfit for the throne."
"Once the Emperor has made up his mind, how could he change it so easily? Once the Second Prince returns to the capital, the Emperor will draft an imperial edict. By then, your case will be set in stone!"
Ni Yueshan was silent. It was a done deal. He was sent out just like that!
Seeing that Ni Yueshan didn't say anything, Ni Gaofei sighed: "Don't think too much about it now that it has happened. Just stay with your mother."
Ni Yueshan stood up silently and walked out.
The fourth prince and the second prince both requested for marriage?
How many times had they met the Fourth Prince Jing Chengzhi? Did he not want to harm her every time?
So he definitely didn't ask for the marriage out of good intentions. Maybe it was because of Zou Yangyao?
Thinking of this, Ni Yueshan clenched her fists. Since she came to this world, everything around her was inseparable from Zou Yangyao.
Because Zou Yangyao was involved with her, she felt that she was at a disadvantage!
During the few days that Ni Yueshan stayed in the mansion, he handled the affairs of the mansion with the housekeeper. During these days, Tian You and Ni Yueshuang were recuperating from their injuries, so the mansion was relatively quiet.
Ni Yueshan yawned and stretched lazily when a servant came over to report, "Miss, there are soldiers outside the mansion, and they want you to go out and see someone!"
Officers and soldiers?
Ni Yueshan seemed to vaguely know why.
She walked outside.
"This is Miss Ni, right?"
Ni Yueshan looked at the officers and soldiers and asked, "I wonder what you are here for?"
Judging from their aura, they don't seem to be here to arrest anyone.
"Miss Ni, the government has been trying to catch a flower thief. Originally, there was no clue, but a few days ago, he brought some soldiers to rescue you. Now you've returned safely. I wonder where this flower thief has gone?"
"A flower thief? I don't know any flower thief. You were looking for a flower thief, but you found me. Should I be angry?"
Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at them with a bad expression.
Several people looked at each other and said, "Miss Ni, if it weren't for the information given by that flower thief who called himself Master Shao, we wouldn't have known that you were kidnapped. It's just that the officers and soldiers we sent out haven't returned yet, and you are safe and sound..."
So they didn't believe Ni Yueshan when she said that this matter had nothing to do with her!
Those officers and soldiers had been out of contact for too long, and they had no choice but to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Ni Yueshan looked at the crowd innocently: "What kind of flower thief is this? How can you treat the Second Prince as a flower thief?"
Several people looked at each other. Did the Second Prince think he was a flower thief?
Seeing that several people were confused, Ni Yueshan sighed: "I was kidnapped, I don't deny it, but the person who kidnapped me also happened to kidnap the Second Prince, so I met the Second Prince."
"The one who saved me was the Second Prince, but he had things to attend to and hasn't returned yet. As for the soldiers and flower thieves you mentioned, I've never seen them!"
Ni Yueshan flatly denied it, and several officers and soldiers thought that Ni Yueshan denied it because he didn't want to ruin his reputation.
But it was a bit surprising that Ni Yueshan also made up a lie about the second prince.
The expressions of several people were clearly disbelieving. Ni Yueshan asked in confusion, "Why would the flower thief know that I was kidnapped? Could it be that the person who kidnapped me is related to the flower thief? What does the flower thief look like? Is there a portrait?"
Ni Yueshan's series of questions made everyone a little stunned. Did Ni Yueshan really know nothing?
Several people looked at each other in confusion. Ni Yueshan continued, "If I understand correctly, a flower thief specializes in robbing young girls. He knew I was kidnapped and that I was the Prime Minister's daughter. Actually, this is not surprising."
"Maybe he has two albums. One contains portraits of women who are as beautiful as fairies, and the other contains portraits of ugly women. But my portrait is also in it."
"So the flower thief knew me and saw that it was me who was kidnapped, so there was no problem."
A flower thief would consider capturing a virgin girl as an achievement and a military exploit, so naturally he would need to understand each of the girls in the boudoir, so it is normal for him to know her!
If you want the beauty book, you are the target; if you want the ugly woman book, you are the minefield to avoid!
Everyone present was at a loss for words for a moment, and finally someone hesitantly spoke up, "Well, if Miss Ni has any information about the flower thief, please pass it on."
Ni Yueshan nodded, and the officers and soldiers left.
The conversation between the few people was overheard by the servants in the mansion, who turned around and told Tian You.
When Tian You heard this information, he snorted coldly: "I knew that the thief must be related to her. This time when she was in danger, it was obvious that she was rescued by that flower thief!"
Ni Yueshuang sighed beside him, "What a pity! I wasn't there at the time. Otherwise, I would have told the officers and soldiers that she was definitely related to the flower thief!"
"So what if it's related? His reputation is damaged? As long as the Second Prince has her in his heart and wants her to be his concubine, there's no getting around it!"
Ni Yueshan was divorced for being jealous, and her reputation has long been bad! But that didn't stop her from being favored by Jing Yuchen!
Ni Yueshuang sighed, feeling a little depressed.
But as if he had thought of something, he gradually became proud: "Mother, my cousin from the Tian family will marry into the Second Prince's mansion as his principal wife. When the time comes, Yue Shuang will also marry into the Second Prince's mansion."
Although she is a concubine, she is still very happy!
"Don't be too happy too soon. Her fortune hasn't even started yet, and yours is far from it."
After the officers and soldiers left, Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief. Shao Lecheng was already in danger because he was guilty, but he had no awareness at all and insisted on showing up everywhere without any intention of keeping a low profile.
I hope that this time when Jing Yuchen comes back, he can help reduce Shao Lecheng’s guilt a little in consideration of Shao Lecheng’s contributions?
Three days later, the missing Jing Yuchen returned to Beijing, bringing with him two prison carts, a horse-drawn carriage, and many men covered in scars. The team was not large, but there were more than 30 people, attracting many people to watch.
Ren Mei hurried to Ni Yueshan's room and said, "Miss, the Second Prince is back."
