In the afternoon, Chen Shurong took a nap, and Xie Yunzhao ran to the main courtyard to complain. The princess had sacrificed too much this time. Jin Zhi was the one she had used the most and relied on the most since she was a child, but in order to appease her sister-in-law, she gave her away in vain. She cried for the whole morning.
"Mother, the princess is so aggrieved. Marrying me was already an injustice to her, and now she is asked to give way to my sister-in-law."
The Duchess watched him perform. He said nothing when the princess was wronged. He was waiting here.
But Yongjia was indeed wronged this time, and the eldest daughter-in-law was somewhat unwilling to let him go, "Tell me, what do you want this time?"
"Mother, can you give the nanmu screen with gold thread, the picture of Jinshan embroidered with gold thread, and the sapphires inlaid on the four corners in your dowry to the princess?"
Xie Yunzhao smiled and held his mother's arm: "The main courtyard of the Princess's Mansion is ready for living. My son thinks it is best to put it there. It is also a reward for your understanding of your daughter-in-law. The Princess will definitely be grateful to you and think that you are the best mother-in-law in the world."
You little bastard, are you still eyeing her dowry?
The Duchess's wife stared at him. She thought, had she never wronged him since he was a child? Had she let him go hungry or have warm clothes?
I originally wanted to have another daughter, but Yun Zhao was more worrying than any other child.
Her mother-in-law passed away early, and she had to take charge of the huge Duke's Mansion and had to give up her well-behaved daughter.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you." The Duke's wife glared at him, feeling resentful.
Make a lot of money!
Xie Yunzhao thanked his mother happily, saying that mother is the best.
The Duke's wife told him to get out of here quickly and hide the valuables.
In the evening, Xie Yunzheng was sleeping in the study again. The servant of Duke Lu saw that the light was on in the Chaohui Courtyard study and ran back to tell the Duke.
Xie Yunzheng hadn't gone to bed yet when he heard a knock on the door.
I thought it was Li Wan'er, so I walked over impatiently to open it. Instead, I saw my father with a gloomy face.
"Dad, why is he looking for his son at this hour?"
"Those who know you think you're newly married, and those who don't think you're single! Go back to your wife's room and sleep. If I find out you're sleeping in the study again, I'll tear it down!"
Xie Yunzheng frowned in dissatisfaction: "Dad, I've already married her according to your instructions. Don't worry about the things in the room."
"I won't care if you give birth to my eldest grandson, otherwise you have to keep giving birth to me."
Xie Yunzheng lowered his head: "I understand."
The Duke of Lu watched him put on his coat and go to the backyard, then he left with satisfaction.
Xie Yunzheng was upset. He didn't like Li Wan'er, didn't want to see her, and didn't want to touch her.
Li Wan'er had already laid down, feeling unhappy, when she suddenly heard the prince entering the courtyard, a flash of joy appeared in her eyes.
Xie Yunzheng had already taken a shower and went straight into the bridal chamber.
Li Wan'er wanted to talk to him. The day after tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and her mother asked her to help with the preparations.
In the past two days, she received invitations from several ladies inviting her to visit them.
As she was talking, she heard no more words from the man. Seeing that he had already laid down, she stopped, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Xie Yunzheng's mind was in a mess. He had imagined many times what his and Yongjia's child would be like.
He will be the eldest grandson of the family, will be their pride, will inherit all the merits of both of them, and will also inherit the entire Duke of Lu's Mansion.
But now, he married someone else, and Yongjia married Xie Yunzhao.
His legitimate son was not born to Yongjia, and even if Yongjia gave birth to a eldest son, he would not have the right of inheritance.
Thinking of this, he became conflicted. Should he confer the title on his legitimate son or on Yongjia's eldest son?
I sighed. It was no use thinking about it now. It was still early. I should complete my father's order first.
Xie Yunzhao will be killed sooner or later. Yongjia will have to rely on him in the future, so he can listen to her opinions then.
Li Wan'er had just laid down when the man made a move...
However, Li Wan'er didn't feel anything good. She felt like a tool.
Looking at the man sleeping beside her, she felt indescribable aggrieved. After all, he didn't love her.
The next morning, there were many servants in the room, but Xie Yunzheng did not see Jin Zhi. "Jin Zhi is the most respected person in the princess's eyes. Even if you are not used to using her, don't treat her too badly."
Li Wan'er paused as she was putting on his coat, anger rising in her heart, "Sir, do you mean I should keep her in front of you to serve you?"
"Second class is fine too." Xie Yunzheng straightened his cuffs, stood up and walked out, "I'll come back in the evening."
When Li Wan'er heard this, she was not very excited. She was still angry.
"Xiu He, do you think the prince cares about Jin Zhi, or does he care about..."
"Miss, maybe the prince is just afraid that the princess will be angry and it will be bad for the relationship between our two houses."
Li Wan'er didn't think so. Xie Yunzheng had asked her more than once to treat Jin Zhi well.
"Let's go check on that bitch."
The woodshed where Jinzhi slept was not a big one, but a small hut in each yard that stored wood for a few days.
She has not had a drop of water since she was locked up yesterday.
At this moment, his lips were chapped and the light in his eyes had gone.
I heard the door creak open, and the sunlight from outside poured in, blocking my eyes unconsciously.
It took her a long time to see who was coming, and she quickly knelt down to salute: "Your servant greets the Crown Prince's wife." Her voice was very hoarse.
Li Wan'er looked down at her and said, "The prince asked you to be a second-class maid. What do you think?"
Jin Zhi lowered her head and was delighted. She knew that the prince cared about her, and as a second-class maid, she would have many opportunities to meet the prince.
She suddenly felt that this was good, and she was one step closer to her dream. "It is my honor to serve the Crown Prince's wife."
After waiting for a long time without hearing a reply, Jin Zhi quietly raised her eyelids to look around.
Li Wan'er sneered, "That's a nice thought! Someone come here!"
Jinzhi looked up suddenly. What did she mean?
"What is the Crown Prince's wife going to do?"
Li Wan'er's mouth curled up with sneer: "Aren't you a lowly person? Do you want to climb into a man's bed? This lady is kind-hearted and will satisfy you today."
Jin Zhi was overwhelmed with fear, and her voice was trembling and hoarse: "What exactly is the Crown Prince's wife going to do? Don't forget, no matter what I am, I am the most respected person in front of the princess."
"Don't worry, you will know soon. This lady is doing this for your own good. I want you to get what you want."
Two old women came in carrying a tray. Jinzhi was so scared that her eyes widened. A dagger and... a round wooden stick?
"Even if my indenture is in Madam's hands, given the princess's feelings for me, she will definitely ask me to meet her someday. Madam, aren't you afraid that the princess will be angry?"
Li Wan'er turned around and left. Did you still want to threaten her? "Jinzhi is ill. She is not allowed to see outsiders for seven days. The princess is even less allowed to see you."
The door was closed and Li Wan'er sat at the door, listening to the crying and shouting coming from the room.
Not long after, two maids came out, and the things on the tray were covered with black cloth.
"Ma'am, it's taken care of."
Li Wan'er clapped her hands, stood up and left.
Jin Zhi was lying on the dusty ground like a dead dog, with blood flowing from her chest and legs...
Li Waner!
Don't think you can destroy me like this!
