Chapter 3: Marriage Exchange



"Stop!" Shen Shurong was startled, idiot, and propped himself up to sit up, "You saved me, and died because of it, do you want me to be branded as ungrateful?"

"Will I be criticized even after I die?"

Bang!

Xie Yunzhao threw away the knife, looking even more flustered, "Of course not, I thought I was dead, so you don't have to worry about what happened today, and you can live well."

"I don't blame you. You saved me and are my benefactor. My family should be grateful to you, but I feel sorry for my brother Zheng. I am his fiancée, but I have lost my reputation."

Xie Yunzhao lowered his eyes, his rims were red. It was he who ruined her innocence by marrying Xie Yunzheng, and it was he who made her so sad!

"Princess, I don't mind." Xie Yun took two steps forward, "Life is the most important thing. You are lucky to be safe."

"No," Shen Shurong shook his head fiercely and turned his face away, "You are so noble, like a pure lotus emerging from water, I can't defile you, go away!"

Xie Yunzheng refused, "Princess, Prince, Yunzheng wants to talk to the princess alone."

The eldest princess nodded. This farce could not continue. Someone had to take the loss.

Everyone quickly evacuated to the yard, and Shen Shurong was placed on a chair by his eldest brother.

Xie Yunzheng stood at the open doorway, speaking in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear, "Princess, our two families have been engaged since childhood, but Yunzhao is the eldest brother, and should be granted the title of Crown Prince. In order to marry you, I have put in a hundred times more effort than others. Only when I become the Crown Prince can I marry you legitimately."

"If I didn't have you, what would I be doing as a prince?"

Shen Shurong was shocked at first, then deeply moved, and sneered inwardly.

When he was fourteen years old, Duke Lu announced to the public that the birth order of his twin sons was wrong, Xie Yunzheng was the eldest brother and Xie Yunzhao was the second son.

In fact, everyone knew that the title of the Great Zhou could only be conferred on the eldest son. The Duke of Lu's Mansion wanted to confer the title of Crown Prince on Xie Yunzheng, only because Xie Yunzhao at that time was uneducated and very naughty.

It was not until Xie Yunzheng was named the Crown Prince that Shen Shurong realized that she would marry the Crown Prince in the future.

Before she was fourteen, she thought she would marry Xie Yunzhao, but from then on, her grandmother, mother, and eldest brother all talked to her about how great Xie Yunzhao was.

My grandparents are old. Once they pass away, the Princess's Mansion will no longer exist. How could the Prince's Mansion have any prestige?

Only by marrying the powerful prince of the Duke's Mansion could the Prince's Mansion be of great benefit. Compared with the future of her family, the resentment in her heart was insignificant.

But what about her happiness?

She married Xie Yunzheng with peace of mind, but the misery of her life was also caused by him.

After she became the dog emperor's plaything, he perversely summoned her father and brother into the palace and let her see her in the palace.

The shock in her father and brother's eyes, the tears and blood they dared not shed, ruthlessly cut into her heart.

The dog emperor enjoyed this and was still not satisfied, so he asked Xie Yunzheng to bring their legitimate son Xie Zhinan into the palace, deliberately letting Anan see her snuggling in his arms!

Seeing the bloodshot in her son's eyes, she was so angry that she wanted to pull out her hairpin, stab him a thousand times, and kill Xie Yunzheng at the same time!

What does he say now? Fighting for the position of crown prince just to marry her?

Without her, he can't be the crown prince?

Haha, I revealed the truth in front of her.

Maybe he was sincere to her at this time. But she doesn't want it, it's too disgusting.

Hiding the turmoil in her heart, she smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zheng, you don't have to slander yourself to enlighten me. I am not qualified to marry you. I don't want you to endure rumors because of me. Only when I die can you be at peace."

As he said this, he dropped the porcelain cup, quickly picked up a piece of broken porcelain, and cut his wrist.

"Princess!" Xie Yun rushed in and held her hand, "No!"

The person outside the door ran in, with a blood mark on his wrist. Although it was very shallow, it was enough!

"Get out, all of you!" The eldest princess hugged Chen Shurong tightly, "Are you going to force her to death? No one in Yongjia will marry!"

Everyone left the room, and the young prince closed the door. If he continued to make trouble, he would eventually lose control.

He pulled his family aside and said, "It's impossible for my little sister not to get married. Rumors are like knives. After all, it's an engagement with the Duke's Mansion. Brothers, it doesn't matter who my little sister marries."

Old Master Shen nodded, "That makes sense. Why not marry Xie Yunzhao? At least Yongjia won't be upset anymore."

The prince and his wife were not satisfied, "But, the crown prince is Xie Yunzheng, and this Xie Yunzhao... we have a noble status in Yongjia..." It's not worth it.

Old Master Shen glanced at him and asked, "You don't want to live anymore?"

"Yes," the prince lowered his eyes quickly.

The princess is unwilling to accept this. Her son has already married someone of lower status, so does she want to do the same for her daughter?

The prince walked over to the Xie family and said, "The marriage between our two families has not yet been decided for Yun Zheng. Now that Yong Jia and Yun Zhao are like this, let's decide for Yun Zhao."

"What does Duke Lu think?"

Xie Yunzhao was dumbfounded, what did it mean, asking him to marry Shen Shurong?

He was willing, very willing, but... she seemed unwilling to marry him. She had always liked Xie Yunzheng.

Xie Yunzheng was annoyed. No, "Prince, Yunzheng doesn't care. Although it hasn't been decided, everyone knows that the princess and I..."

The prince interrupted him: "My lord, Yongjia can't get over her own hurdle, as you just saw. Of course we hope... Hey, Yongjia is a treasure to both of our families, we just hope that she is alive," even if she marries this playboy!

The Duke of Lu was so happy that he went crazy, and the Duke's Mansion made a lot of money. But he knew the limits. This was a last resort. He couldn't smile. He looked sad and said, "I'm sorry, Princess."

"Rebellious son, why don't you come and meet your father-in-law!"

"Dad, the princess and I have agreed on it," Xie Yunzheng didn't expect it to be so serious. He had already said that he didn't mind. If his husband didn't mind, how could others say anything? Grab the sleeve of Duke Lu.

"Shut up first!" Duke Lu's head was about to explode. Could he please give him some peace of mind? How could the prince be so short-sighted that he could marry someone else without Yongjia?

Yongjia still enters the Duke's Mansion and marries two good daughters-in-law, right?

Xie Yunzhao walked over. These were all what others thought, and the princess might not agree. "Dad, I listen to the princess. She said she would marry me..."

The prince then remembered and turned away: "Yes, Yun Zhao is right. We still have to ask Yongjia."

The princess had no choice but to watch her daughter commit suicide. After obtaining permission, she entered Chen Shurong's room and said in embarrassment: "My daughter, although reputation is more important than anything else, your mother and grandmother cannot live without you."

After a pause, he continued, "What do you think of Xie Yunzhao? The engagement between our family and the Duke's Mansion did not include Yunzheng, and the same applies to Yunzhao. This way, we can silence the gossips."

Chen Shurong seemed not to understand and looked at him blankly, "Mom, do you mean that my fiancé can be Xie Yunzhao instead of Zheng Gege?"
