Chapter 507: The Beauty Hidden in the Golden House

The emperor learned that the concubine of the Marquis of Loyalty had someone murder his legitimate daughter. Because the legitimate daughter was Su Zhi, the eldest prince's stepmother, he paid special attention to it and finally sentenced the three people to death.

Aunt Liu's family claimed that everything she did had nothing to do with them, so they escaped punishment. However, the emperor also accused the Liu family of failing to educate their daughter properly, and sentenced them to death. All the officials were demoted, and they became the laughing stock of the entire capital. Moreover, several girls in the family had their engagements canceled, and those who were preparing to get engaged had difficulty finding a husband. After all, which family would be willing to marry a girl like Aunt Liu!

The Wang family was also affected. Although their official positions were not affected, the emperor did not show them any face in the court.

The Imperial Concubine was even more affected, and the Emperor disliked her even more. Everyone in the palace spread the rumor that the Emperor suspected that the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Liu were related, so their personalities must be very similar. Therefore, the Emperor suspected that the incident with the eldest prince might have been related to the Imperial Concubine, and that was why he ignored her.

When the imperial concubine heard these rumors, she was so angry that she smashed a lot of porcelain in the palace. She cursed Aunt Liu fiercely, thinking that it was all Aunt Liu who harmed her. Originally, even if someone had doubts about the eldest prince, they only dared to doubt it in private. Now, it has reached her ears! If this continues, it will not only spread throughout the court and the harem, but also spread among the people! How will she make people's hearts turn to her when that time comes? !

"Go! Spread the word, let that bitch die quickly! Don't let her bring trouble to our Wang family anymore!"

The imperial concubine said to the grandmother beside her that she hated Aunt Liu to the core and wished she would die soon!

After hearing this, grandma turned around and left immediately.

The imperial concubine sat on the chair and took a deep breath, thinking about Su Zhi. She thought that this woman was her nemesis. She really wanted to kill her, but now was definitely not the right time to do it. Because she was in the limelight, many people were looking at her, and the emperor also attached great importance to her. If she was touched, it would cause a big commotion, and the capital was not a good place to do it. It seemed that she had to wait a little longer. As long as she waited a little longer, she would definitely kill Su Zhi as soon as she had the chance!

"That Shen Zhu is Su Zhi's aunt, but they are not very close. But that Shen Ziju seems to be able to go with them. Let's pull them over first. Then see if they can pull Su Zhi over. If they can, then they will be spared. If not, then they must die!"

The noble concubine was a little dissatisfied with her brother's marriage to Shen Zhu. She watched her brother Wang Feng grow up. Although he was not sensible and had no ability, he was a perfect match in her eyes. She hoped that he would marry a good woman. If he did not marry the daughter of a noble family, he should at least marry the daughter of a powerful official. She wanted him to marry a village girl like Shen Zhu, the sister of a small Hanlin. Even the daughter of the in-laws of the Marquis of Loyalty was not good enough for her. But now she thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. If she wanted to, she could control the Shen family. Controlling the Shen family meant controlling Su Zhi. Behind Su Zhi was the Marquis of Loyalty and the Ye family. Most importantly, there was the Holy Beast.

Don't look at the Holy Beast as just a wolf. It is a being more noble than a first-rank official. If the Holy Beast can stand on their side at that time, it can be said to be destiny. Her son may be able to beat the eldest prince and smoothly become the crown prince, and then the emperor!

The more the royal concubine thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. A smile appeared on her lips, and she began to look forward to her brother Wang Feng's marriage.

Wang Feng was not interested in this marriage and even had some resistance. He had some interest in Shen Zhu in the past, but he had never thought of marrying Shen Zhu as his principal wife. He felt that marrying such a woman would be a humiliation to himself. But now, not only did he have to marry Shen Zhu, he was forced to do so, and he had already gotten Shen Zhu. The only interest he had before was gone, and now he felt annoyed whenever he thought of Shen Zhu.

Whenever Wang Feng was upset, he liked to go out and relax. Although his father had grounded him because of the incident he had caused before, he still had ways to go out.

Wang Feng quietly ran out from the back door, with only a servant by his side, and walked slowly on the street, looking at the girls on the street, one by one, beautiful and charming, but he had no interest. When he was tired, he found a teahouse and went upstairs, asked for a private room, sat inside and drank tea, while looking down from the window, trying to see if there was anything interesting, it would be best if he could meet a girl who interested him.

"You said that Concubine Liu was really cruel. She even murdered the legitimate daughter. When you take a concubine, you have to choose the docile one. You really can't take such a vicious one. Otherwise, you won't know how she died!"

At this time, voices were heard in the private room next door. Although they were quite soft, Wang Feng still heard them. When he heard they were talking about Aunt Liu, he tilted his ears to listen.

Another person said: "A docile concubine may also be vicious. You can't guard against it. The loyal and righteous marquis was deceived for nearly 20 years. If you don't want to be harmed, don't take concubines."

"It's easy to say. If a man has money, who wouldn't want to marry a few beautiful concubines? If it were you and me, wouldn't we have the same wish?"

"Hehe, that's right. Speaking of which, I had the honor of meeting Madam Liu once. She is indeed pretty, no wonder she has been able to deceive the Marquis for so many years. If it were me, I would have to be fooled for the rest of my life."

"Her daughter is prettier, with an oval face as white as snow, a small mouth as red as a flower, and eyes that can capture your soul at a glance. She has a thin waist and small feet, and a glance from a distance can make people unable to walk. What a pity, she also had to lose her head this time. Such a beautiful little head was chopped off with just one knife. Oh! What a pity!"

"Really? I haven't seen it, but I'm moved when you say that. It's a pity that I'm not that high-ranking official. If I were, I'd find a way to get her out and hide her. Then I'd be the only one to look at this beauty. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

The two of them whispered something again, but Wang Feng didn't listen carefully. He was focused on the words they said praising Mu Weizhi and about getting Mu Weizhi out and hiding her.

Wang Feng thought about his cousin. She was really pretty, the kind of delicate beauty. He had been attracted to her before, but his family told him not to go after her because they said that if she could hook up with Meng Jinliang, it would be a great benefit to them, so he let her go. Now his cousin was about to die. If he just extended his hand, wouldn't she be his to enjoy as he pleased?

The more Wang Feng thought about it, the more itchy he felt. His heart, which was already anxious to marry Shen Zhu, suddenly began to think of taking Mu Weizhi back.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Feng stood up, called Xiao Di and walked out. When he reached the street, he stopped, thinking that this matter must not be known to anyone, and he had to handle it carefully.

"Master, you have to think this through carefully. Your wedding day is coming soon, and nothing can go wrong at this critical moment!"

Xiao Dian, who was told by Wang Feng, became nervous when he heard what Wang Feng said and reminded Wang Feng.

Because Wang Feng and Shen Zhu had already had physical contact, the wedding date was set very quickly to prevent Shen Zhu's belly from getting too pregnant.

"It's okay. A man should follow his will. Since Shen Zhu married me, she has to listen to me. Even if she knew, what can she do to me? Unless she wants to be a widow!"

Wang Feng felt annoyed whenever he thought of Shen Zhu. He said this to Xiao Dian and then walked away.

Shen Zhu was also unhappy about marrying Wang Feng. She thought Wang Feng was blessed to marry her, but she didn't expect that Wang Feng was also very uncomfortable with marrying her. He wanted to make her uncomfortable before he even married her. She didn't know, and neither did the Shen family. The Shen family was so busy that they were too busy to think about it.

Shen Zhu was getting married, and Shen Ziju was her older brother, so it would not be good to skip him, so Shen Ziju's wedding date was also put on the agenda. The Shen family discussed the wedding date with the Shangshu and set a date. The wedding was to be held in a month, half a month earlier than Shen Zhu's wedding date.

The Shen family was about to face two major events, a wedding, at once. Although Shen Zhu's wedding was too embarrassing, they were still joyous.

As Su Zhi's status became higher and higher, the Shen family, as her husband's family, also rose in status. Not only did Shen Ziju easily persuade the Shangshu, who originally wanted to keep his daughter for a while, to marry his daughter off within a month, but even when people were outside, they spoke to him more politely and cordially, which made Shen Ziju realize the benefits of having a backer, and this experience made him want to climb up even more. He thought that if he became a high-ranking official, then when people respected and flattered him, it would all be because of himself.

Shen Ziju likes to have someone to back him up, so that his official career will be smoother. This is also the reason why he wants to marry the daughter of a minister. But when he thinks that the backer is Su Zhi, the woman he loves in his heart, he feels a little awkward. He once thought that if he became a high official, he would protect Su Zhi well, and then he would be a unique existence in her heart. But now everything is reversed, and he has to rely on her.

Shen Ziju felt unhappy. He thought that he must climb higher and must not let Su Zhi look down on him.

As Shen Ziju was thinking this, he became more polite towards those who came to curry favor with him. He thought that now was the time for him to accumulate connections. Now these people came to him because of Su Zhi, and one day he would use them to reach the peak where they would be respectful to him even if they didn't look at Su Zhi.
