Chapter 2: Dog bites dog, it's really fun
The Marquis’ wife was frightened to death: “Yin…Yin Yao! Stop talking nonsense. When did I…when did I ever urge you?”
"You didn't urge her to do it. Does that mean you gave her the instruction?" Xiao Chen lowered his eyes and looked down at the two people kneeling in front of him.
The Marquis broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no! This bastard has gone crazy! He's talking nonsense!"
Driven by her absolute desire to survive, the Marquis's wife finally regained her intelligence: "Right, right, right! She's always talking nonsense. The entire Marquis's Mansion is loyal!"
"Heh." Xiao Chen chuckled softly, "I actually feel that the young lady has clear eyes and a clear mind."
Qin Yinyao nodded with satisfaction.
Love to listen, listen well, and talk more.
But... judging from Prince Long's attitude, could it be that he hasn't accepted the mother-in-law's soup either?
Their eyes met, and Xiao Chen's eyes sparkled: "What are you thinking when you look at me like that?"
Qin Yinyao blinked: "I was thinking, if I kiss you, will you help me kill this adulterous couple?"
Adulterer and adulteress: “!!!”
Xiao Chen couldn't help but let out a chuckle from his throat.
"How about Miss, come to me privately and give it a try?"
A voice as clear as a drop of jade sounded, and a hint of doting appeared in his eyes.
As expected of Her Royal Highness the Princess who grew up riding on the Jade Emperor's head, she is so arrogant.
"Private matters, let's talk about it in private."
Qin Yinyao waved her hand, retracted her gaze from Xiao Chen's face, and returned it to the Marquis and his wife kneeling on the ground: "Let's talk about business first."
His expression became visibly disgusted.
"Okay." Xiao Chen nodded: "I'm tired of standing, let's sit down and talk."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at his guards, who immediately went out and brought two chairs over.
The couple who were still kneeling: “???”
Qin Yinyao walked over and sat down obediently.
Although it was her original body who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, she was the one who was bearing all the physical discomforts now.
"Then let's talk about the Marquis's wish to become emperor." Xiao Chen straightened his clothes and slowly spoke about the topic that could cause the execution of entire families of princes and nobles.
Qin Yinyao smiled slightly and added: "And the Crown Prince's marriage."
"Your Highness must break off the engagement with me and marry the Second Miss, otherwise my mother's tablet will be thrown out of the ancestral hall."
She borrowed the original owner's body to go through hardships, not only to fulfill the original owner's wish, but also to resolve the cause and effect of borrowing the body.
They also have to take over the cause and effect of the original body, including the kinship between father and daughter, and mother and daughter.
The Marquis, as my biological father, only gave me pleasure during sex, but he has no gratitude for giving birth to me. You can do whatever you want to me.
But the original body's mother really loved the original body.
If her mother's tablet is thrown out of the ancestral hall, it would be unfilial, detrimental to her spiritual practice, and not in line with her code of conduct.
"Really? Even the marriage personally arranged by the Emperor has to give way to the Marquis and his wife's wishes. The Marquis's ambition to become emperor is truly undisguised."
Xiao Chen looked at the Marquis and his wife, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Your Highness, please understand that I am loyal and have no intention of treason!" The Marquis was shocked and frightened, but he hated Qin Yinyao in his heart.
It's just a marriage. My sister wants it, and not only do you refuse to give it to her, but you also talk nonsense and bring disaster to the family!
As hateful as her short-lived mother!
I shouldn't have considered the father-daughter relationship at the beginning and just sent her to the farm!
She should be poisoned to death with a bowl of medicine, stuffed into her mother's coffin, and buried together with her!
No matter how much hatred there is, the most urgent priority is to protect the Marquis' Mansion.
The Marquis racked his brains and thought for a moment before saying, "Your Highness can freely interrogate everyone in the Marquis' Mansion to prove their innocence!"
"Oh... the rebellion is fake."
Xiao Chen pursed his lips, his smile playful yet dangerous: "So, is it true that you want to influence my marriage?"
The Marquis' expression froze, and he glared secretly at the Marquis's wife.
Bitch! He swore that he could teach Qin Yinyao a lesson.
What's the result?
Is this what you call training someone to be obedient?
The Marquis's wife shuddered. She knew very well what would happen if she was disliked by the Marquis.
In a panic, she quickly came up with a clever idea: "Even if the young lady hates me, she can't slander me like this! I have never said such words!"
She looked at the Marquis with a sorrowful look, "Master, you know, I've been serving you these past few days and haven't even seen the eldest lady!"
If it really doesn't work, I'll have no choice but to cut off my tail to survive and abandon Nanny Qian.
Considering their relationship as master and servant, she would let Nanny Qian's children come into the mansion to serve.
"Madam, what you want to say is that I am so stupid as to make something up in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Or do you mean to say that the servants around Madam, without Madam's permission, made the decision on their own and asked me to give up my marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Without giving the Marquis' wife a chance to defend herself, she looked directly at Xiao Chen: "I don't know what the Crown Prince's temper is like. If it were me, I wouldn't tolerate being treated like a fool."
If you want to use your servant to take the blame, it depends on whether she is willing.
Xiao Chen looked into Qin Yinyao's eyes, which were gentle, doting, funny and helpless.
The young lady was so impatient, but he didn't say anything.
"I believe that the young lady would not make up stories, nor do I believe that a servant would dare to criticize the Crown Prince's marriage."
Xiao Chen tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair: "My Lord, Madam, I need a satisfactory answer."
The leisurely knocking sound sounded like a death warrant to the Marquis and his wife.
The Marquis glanced at his wife with a sinister look, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Your Highness, this matter...this matter, I am not aware of!"
"Whether it's a daughter's upbringing or her marriage, it's all handled by the mistress of the mansion! Although I'm her biological father, I can't help but interfere in the affairs of the inner court!"
On one side is the prince, and on the other side are the women in the backyard. Naturally, the former is more important.
The prince obviously wanted to protect Qin Yinyao, so he naturally couldn't use Qin Yinyao to make any more arguments.
The Marquis's wife's face was pale, tears in her eyes, and she stared at the Marquis in disbelief: "Marquis!!!"
Qin Yinyao smacked her lips: "Dog bites dog, it's really fun."
What a pity, there are no melon seeds on hand.
The Marquis's face turned ashen, and he glared at Qin Yinyao threateningly from an angle that Xiao Chen couldn't see.
This damn evildoer!
"My Lord, don't just glare at me. If you have any dissatisfaction, please speak up."
Qin Yinyao grinned, her smile extremely sweet: "I just like to see the Marquis annoyed with me, but unable to do anything about it."
Lord: “!!!”
Qin Yinyao rolled her eyes at him provocatively: "Madam Hou, don't you have anything to say?"
She rested her chin on her hand and calmly reminded him, "If there's nothing to distinguish, then treating the original wife's daughter harshly is a minor matter. But to defy the imperial authority and disobey the imperial order will cost you your head."
The marriage between the prince and Qin Yinyao was granted by the emperor.
Whether he wanted Qin Yinyao to cancel the engagement or wanted the second lady to marry in his place, it was both a contempt for the imperial power and a disobedience to the order.
Losing your head is the least of your worries.
The Marquis' wife was so angry that she was shaking all over and wished she could eat Qin Yinyao alive.
But he also knew that the most urgent thing was to find a scapegoat.
However, the prince's words, "I don't believe that the servants dare to criticize the crown prince's marriage," blocked her escape route!
The Marquis's wife thought for a moment and said cruelly, "This is a marriage granted by the Emperor himself. Even if I have the courage of heaven, I dare not object! But..."
