Chapter 97: Finding a Wife
After hearing what happened, Wen Yingxue suddenly remembered something.
In the original text, the fifth prince sentenced Zi Su to death not long after he became the new emperor, and then Qi Chen was killed together with Zi Su.
Now that I think about it, was it just because of Zi Su, or was it because the Fifth Prince wanted all of Qi Chen’s property?
"Fifth sister, don't cry." Wen Yingxue glanced at Wen Yuyan, whose nose was snotty from crying, and gave her a small handkerchief.
Wen Yuyan snorted coldly, took the handkerchief and blew her nose, then threw it to Wen Yingxue and said, "Now you know, are you going to help me or her?"
Wen Yuyan pointed at Zisu and asked.
Wen Yingxue threw the handkerchief on the ground in disgust, and immediately rolled her eyes when she heard Wen Yuyan's words.
"I won't help anyone. You've been fooled. The Ninth Prince saw you there and told you this on purpose."
"What do you mean?" Several people looked at Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue coughed calmly, "Ahem. I'm a little thirsty after talking so much."
Zi Su quickly poured tea for Wen Yingxue.
"Yeah, I'm still a little hungry."
Qi Jing pushed the pastries in front of Wen Yingxue.
"Well, there's still some, ouch!" Before Wen Yingxue finished her act, Wen Yuyan slapped her on the back of the head.
"Are you done yet? Tell me now!"
Wen Yingxue curled her lips and said, "Look at Zi Su, then look at the Tenth Princess. Why are you so rude?"
Wen Yuyan glared at her, and Wen Yingxue immediately sat down and said, "You are the queen, you have a high position, I can't afford to offend you."
“So I say, these men have dirty minds when it comes to tactics.
The reason why the emperor did not agree with the Ninth Prince marrying Zi Su was not because he liked Zi Su, he just wanted money.
The Emperor has just ascended the throne and wants to gain a firm foothold, so he must have a lot of money to spend. With the wars that have been going on for the past few years, the treasury is definitely not well-off."
Wen Yuyan asked, "So, Qi Xun withheld the imperial decree granting the marriage just for the sake of money?"
Wen Yingxue nodded, then glanced at Zisu and found that Zisu was holding her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.
Qi Jing curled her lips and said to Wen Yingxue, "You're right. These men have really dirty hearts."
Wen Yingxue, Wen Yuyan and Zi Su nodded in agreement.
"Okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, isn't it time for you two to return to the palace?" Wen Yingxue said to Wen Yuyan and Qi Jing.
These two, one is the current queen, the other is the current princess. If they sneak out without any guards and encounter assassins, what will happen?
Unexpectedly, Wen Yuyan looked even angrier, slamming the table and saying, "No! These men are really bad people. What are you two doing? Take me with you, too. I also want to relax."
Wen Yingxue held her forehead and then glanced at Qi Jing. Qi Jing's eyes were sparkling, and she blinked at Wen Yingxue with a cute smile.
Yes, this person wants to go too.
Zi Su said, "We are losing money."
When Wen Yuyan heard this, she immediately said, "That's great, I want to play too. By the way, I heard that it's snowing in many places in the north, and it's already a snowstorm. Now many refugees are heading to the capital."
Instead of squandering your money, why not buy some food and clothes for the disaster victims?"
When Wen Yingxue heard this, she immediately gave Wen Yuyan a thumbs up. She is worthy of being the queen who is the mother of the country. Her awareness is very high.
Everyone looked at Zi Su, after all, the financial power was in her hands.
Zi Su nodded proudly: "Let's go!"
In front of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, after Qi Chen got the imperial edict from the palace, he came all the way to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. He was so excited!
I plan to catch Zi Su soon and then go back home to give birth to the baby. After all, I have spent money.
Then, Qi Chen started knocking on the door. After Lin Qi welcomed Qi Chen into the house, Qi Chen stared at Nie Chubai, who had a gloomy face.
"Why are you here? Where is my wife?" Qi Chen glanced at Nie Chubai, then looked around.
Nie Chubai sneered and said, "Don't look at it. Your wife took my wife away and hasn't come back yet."
"Where did you go? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"have no idea."
Qi Chen was furious: "You are the Marquis of Dingyuan! The Lord of Shitian Pavilion, how come you don't even know where your wife is?"
Nie Chubai became even angrier and retorted, "You're still the Ninth Prince of Daqing. Why are you looking for your wife here? If you have the guts, go find one yourself."
Just as the two were about to start a fight, Lin Qi's excited voice suddenly came from outside the house: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Nie Chubai and Qi Chen turned around and saw Qi Xun walking towards them quickly. He looked around and said, "Where's my wife? Nie Chubai! Hand my wife over to me."
Nie Chubai is now furious. Why does everyone come to him to ask for their lost wife when he hasn't found his own wife yet?
"The queen did not come to my house." Nie Chubai shook off Qi Chen's hand and said to the emperor.
"Bullshit! I clearly heard that the Queen came to your house. Hurry and hand over my wife, or I will punish you!"
Now the three men are fighting each other.
After two rounds, Nie Chubai was holding the emperor with one hand and the prince with the other, and smoke was almost coming out of his head.
At this time, Lin Qi quietly showed his head and whispered, "Your Majesty, Prince, Marquis, many people came up to deliver things. They said that Madam and Zi Su bought them and sent them over."
Upon hearing this, Nie Chubai immediately let go of the Emperor of Daqing and the prince. The two of them lost their balance and fell to the ground.
The two of them got up, patted their butts and followed Nie Chubai to the front yard.
Then the three of them were stunned. The yard was full of things, all kinds of things, both useful and useless.
Nie Chubai turned around and asked Lin Qi, "How much money did Madam take when she left?"
Lin Qi shook his head: "I didn't take even a tael of silver."
Hiss! Nie Chubai gasped. Could it be that Wen Yingxue was out robbing people?
Qi Chen looked at it and felt something was wrong. Why did the things delivered look so familiar, and the people looked familiar too.
"Hello, Your Majesty."
"Hello, Your Majesty."
"Boss."
This time it was Qi Chen's turn to gasp. He suddenly had a bad feeling and covered his chest and asked, "Who asked you to send these things?"
A shopkeeper said, "It was Miss Nie who brought the things over with your private order."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Chen fell to the ground with a thud, holding his chest and gasping for breath, as if he had a heart attack again.
"Zi Su! You're a spendthrift woman. If you don't give me twenty children this time, don't even think about leaving the house!"
Nie Chubai and Qi Xun didn't care about Qi Chen, who was about to vomit blood. They didn't even look at him and asked the people who came to deliver the gifts, "Where is my wife now?"
The shopkeeper of Yupinxuan happened to be among the people delivering the gifts. He said, "Oh, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan and Miss Nie, as well as the Empress and the Tenth Princess, are together. I heard they went to the north gate of the city."
Nie Chubai and Qi Xun turned around and left. Qi Chen got up tremblingly, covering his chest and gritting his teeth, and followed them.
