Chapter 422: Make a Bigger Trouble
Rong Yu smiled, "It's because Rong Yu has nothing and feels that he is not worthy of the princess, so I thought that after the prince ascends the throne, I will find a job in the Imperial Hospital and rebuild the Xie family.
That way, people won't laugh at me in the future for marrying a useless, spineless person."
"When did I agree to marry you?"
Qing Wu threw the soft pillow at Xie Rongyu's face, extremely angry.
The child she raised was actually plotting against her step by step. He said that there was no inheritance for the Xie family and it didn't matter if he didn't have children, he just wanted to follow her for the rest of his life.
However, he secretly bought a house and pierced her intestines to make her pregnant. Now he wants her to marry him on the grounds that the child needs a normal birth.
Who knows how he will plot against her in the future.
She is the dignified Princess Qingwu, and even if she wants to get married, it shouldn't be like this.
"I was wrong. I bought the house to give you a surprise. I know you like children, and I also want a bloodline of our own. I also want to secure my place in your heart.
Ah Wu, I know what you're worried about, but I'm afraid you won't want me anymore, and will chase me away like you did back then."
Qingwu always wanted to wait until she got her revenge before living her own life, but now that they have the prince and Zhian is on their side, everything is moving in a good direction.
Some things can be put aside appropriately. He knew that she had already thought about having a child. If so, it would be better for her physical recovery if she had one sooner.
However, Qingwu always cared that she had raised him. She was older than him and was unwilling to admit that she had feelings for him, so he could only force her like this.
Taking the soft pillow, his face was full of grievance, and his pair of dark eyes were moist, like an abandoned dog waiting for his owner to find him.
He carefully pulled Qingwu's sleeve and said, "But Rongyu is the only one in this world."
Qingwu turned her head away and didn't look at those eyes.
She remembered that when he was just twenty years old, she noticed his unusual feelings for her, so she bought him a house and asked him to move out of the princess's mansion, hoping that he would start a family and build a career.
He also looked at her with such pitiful eyes, agreed with her mouth, but got her drunk at night and became her man.
After that, he was so persistent that no matter how she defended herself, he could always find a place in her bed.
Ten years have passed in a flash. Does he still remember what happened back then?
Shi Yu closed his eyes and quietly pulled Wei Qingyan away.
After reading this, what else is there to not understand? Qingwu is pregnant, Rongyu's.
As a man, how could he not see that Rong Yu was playing the victim? He heard that he was picked up and raised by Qing Wu, and they were together for twenty-three years, and finally they had that kind of relationship.
This shows that the aunt also had feelings for Rongyu, but it was probably because of the age difference, or because Rongyu's proposal was too sudden and she was not mentally prepared, which led to this awkward situation.
He was certain that in the end, Rongyu would be the one to bring his aunt home.
If she didn't want to get married, why would she bother with Rongyu? If she was heartless to him, how could she have such an evasive and guilty look on her face?
In order to compete with the queen, my aunt has wasted half her life. If Rongyu is the right person, Shi Yu would be happy to see it happen.
Thinking of the dowry Xiao Pei had prepared for Qing Wu, which was still hidden in the rockery of the imperial palace, Shi Yu whispered to Wei Qingyan, "Let's prepare some dowry for our aunt, too."
Just think of it as marrying off my sister for my father and uncle.
Wei Qingyan agreed, but he was listening attentively to the noise inside, looking very curious.
Shi Yu was at a loss for words and had no choice but to accompany the young woman to satisfy her rare curiosity.
"Hey, Rongyu is acting like a spoiled child." Wei Qingyan reported to Shi Yu in a low voice.
"He, he, he's still crying..."
"My aunt has been fooled and is trying to coax him..."
"It's over! My aunt is completely under his control. She's no match for him at all... This Rong Yu is really good..."
"It seems like... they kissed. Oh, auntie is completely defeated... mmm..."
The gossipy little mouth was also blocked. Shi Yu hugged the person and went into another room. "Be good, this is not suitable for children. Don't teach the child bad things. I won't listen to it anymore."
Wei Qingyan stared at the man who was lying with his eyes closed, while he himself was still doing things that were not suitable for children.
But soon she had no mind to think about anything else and was immersed in the man's gentle caress.
After a moment, his lips were suddenly empty. Shi Yu lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, saying in a hoarse voice, "I'll owe you for now."
Jingyang said that it is not good to be emotional in the first three months and the last three months.
Wei Qingyan's face flushed red from being kissed. After hearing this, she glared at him and changed the subject, "Let's go and see if my aunt and the others have agreed."
Shi Yu nodded, held her hand and knocked on the door.
In fact, both of them knew what the outcome would be.
Sure enough, Qingwu's face was flushed, and she looked like a young wife, with her head down and twisting the handkerchief in her hand.
"It's Rongyu's fault for disturbing the two Your Highnesses. Ah Wu has misunderstood. We will go back now."
Rongyu returned to his former gentle and handsome appearance.
But whenever Wei Qingyan looked at him again, the image of him whimpering would always appear in his mind, and he shuddered inexplicably.
Rong Yu touched his nose. He was quite skilled in martial arts, so how could he not know that the two of them were eavesdropping outside just now?
But between coaxing his wife and saving face, he chose the former.
"Aunt, do you want to go back?" Shi Yu asked.
Qing Wu pursed her red lips and nodded, "Go...go back. It's...too late. You should rest."
She was angry just now and only thought that Shi Yu and Wei Qingyan were her relatives, and she just wanted to hide here with them.
Now that I have calmed down, I realize how embarrassed I was and how I made a fool of myself for the younger generation.
But Qingwu didn't need anyone. Over the years, she had developed a thick skin like a city wall. After thinking for a moment, she returned to her usual arrogant self.
She said to Shi Yu, "After Lin Wanzhi is dealt with and you ascend the throne, I will completely put Feng Zhao's affairs aside."
She cleared her throat and said, "Aunt, please rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I will also prepare two tables of banquets for you and your family and friends to gather together."
"We still have to follow the wedding customs."
Rong Yu said hurriedly, "If we have a daughter, as a father, I will always set an example for my future son-in-law."
Over the years, he opened a clinic and sold medicinal materials, and saved up a lot of money, all for the purpose of marrying her in a grand manner.
She is a princess and is marrying down from her parents' family. How can we treat her unfairly at the wedding?
Wei Qingyan smiled, "Yes, we should do what we have to do. We can't let our aunt down."
Shi Yu agreed, "I will ask the old clan leader to take charge of this matter, and we will take care of the rest. Aunt, just rest assured and take care of yourself and prepare for your marriage."
Rong Yu hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Seeing that the three of them had agreed to the plan, Qing Wu no longer felt awkward. She raised her beautiful eyes and said to Rong Yu, "Okay, then I will wait for you to marry me.
If you dare to scheme to fool me again, I will ask the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to punish you. Don't forget, I also have my family to rely on, hum~"
But before anyone could respond, she changed the subject, "I always feel something is a little strange about Lin Wanzhi's behavior today. I wonder what she's up to."
Just at this moment, Jingzhe knocked on the door.
"Master, the old master has been assassinated."
It turned out that Wei Qingyan had asked Wang Gangzheng to use chess records to lure Lao Zongzheng to the inn these days, but after going to the Taimiao today, Lao Zongzheng felt a little tired, but he planned to go back home to rest for a night and then go to the inn to play chess with Lord Wang tomorrow.
Wang Gang had just received an order from Wei Qingyan. He was worried that something might happen to the old chief, so he pestered him and said he wanted to finish the unfinished game from yesterday.
The old Zongzheng was also a chess fanatic, and finally followed them to the inn. But not long after, the servant of the old Zongzheng's mansion came to the inn and said that the old princess was not feeling well.
The old clan leader had no time to care about the chess game. He hurriedly followed the servant back home to see his wife. The assassin suddenly rushed out on his way back home.
Fortunately, Lord Wang was alert and asked several skilled secret guards to pretend to be ordinary guards and escort the old clan leader back to the mansion.
“There were quite a few of them. The old master’s arm was slashed by a sword, and the servant was killed by an assassin during the fight.
Fearing they might try again, Lord Wang had no choice but to send more people to protect the old man.
Qing Wu angrily said, "Lin Wanzhi, she's so eager to take action right after the ancestral worship today. Rongyu, you personally take people to protect the emperor's uncle. Don't let anything happen to him. If necessary, take him and the emperor's aunt to the princess's residence."
"If that happens, the Queen will definitely notice something and become wary of us, which will make it difficult to proceed with the rest of the process."
Wei Qingyan looked at Shi Yu, "Shi Yu, we can't delay any longer. How about we just make this matter bigger?"
Shi Yu met her gaze, pondered for a moment, then turned to Qing Wu, "On the day of recognizing our ancestors, the old head of the royal family and the newly returned crown prince were both assassinated.
The 'caught alive' happens to be the Queen's man. Aunt, could you please bring the ministers into the palace and ask the Queen for clarification?"
"The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country. His assassination is a major national event. Naturally, it is allowed."
Qing Wu nodded, "It's just you..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Shi Yu pull out the sword from Jingzhe's waist and quickly slash his back.
Wei Qingyan felt distressed, "It's okay to just pretend, why hurt yourself so deeply?"
"It's just a superficial wound, nothing serious." Shi Yu held her hand.
Then he ordered Jingzhe, "Chen Wu, under the Queen's orders, has assassinated the Crown Prince. Capture him immediately and execute him!"
