Chapter 96 Living up to the reputation
The person who spoke was the current queen, Wen Yuyan, accompanied by the tenth princess Qi Jing.
"Hmph! You're a traitor, and you still have the nerve to ask me." Wen Yuyan started cursing as soon as she saw Wen Yingxue.
Wen Yingxue was spitting spray in the face, she was stunned, no, what did she do? Was she betraying her own people?
"Fifth sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand you. Why are you not staying in the palace? Why did you run out?"
When Wen Yingxue mentioned this, Wen Yuyan's eyes turned red and she looked at Zi Su with hatred.
Zi Su was a little confused when Wen Yuyan looked at her with a murderous gaze.
At this time, the Tenth Princess said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quieter place."
Several people looked at the shopkeeper, who immediately nodded and led the way: "There is a reception room over here, it's the quietest."
Wen Yingxue nodded, thought of Tong Jiahui, turned around and found that she had slipped away.
"Fifth sister, what's going on? What happened to you?" When they arrived at the living room, the four of them sat at the four corners of the table.
When Wen Yingxue asked, Wen Yuyan immediately slammed the table in anger, pointed at Zisu and asked, "You're still asking me what's wrong? Why don't you ask her?"
Everyone looked at Zi Su, who shook her head with an innocent look on her face.
"I didn't do anything?"
Wen Yingxue looked at Wen Yuyan, who was about to cry, and suddenly felt a headache. She looked at the Tenth Princess.
"Tenth Princess, what exactly is going on? I don't think Fifth Sister can explain it clearly, so why don't you tell me?"
There was a gossipy gleam in the Tenth Princess' eyes. She looked at Wen Yuyan and then at Zi Su. When Wen Yingxue asked her, she immediately began to tell her what happened today.
Time goes back to when Nie Chubai left the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Qi Chen is not a fool. He has been immersed in the business world for so many years and has seen all kinds of conspiracies and tricks. After he calmed down and thought about what Nie Chubai had just said, he understood everything.
Well, since the emperor was short of money, he would just go along with it and give him some. In exchange for a stable life for the rest of his life, he would have earned it.
Even if he figured it out, taking out his beloved little money would still be like asking for his life.
He hissed, took out one banknote after another, and then threw them into the big box without seeing or feeling any pain.
It filled four large boxes, totaling 25 million taels of silver.
His money! His life! Zisu, hurry back and give birth to his child!
Qi Chen quickly had four large boxes carried to the palace.
At this time, Qi Xun and Wen Yuyan were talking to each other sweetly, and from time to time they fed each other a sip of the soup that Wen Yuyan had cooked early in the morning.
"Yuyan, it is my blessing to marry you!" Qi Xun held Wen Yuyan's hand and said seriously.
When the two were together at the beginning, Qi Xun did care about what Yuan said, but later gradually, he really fell in love with Wen Yuyan, and Wen Yuyan was worthy of his love.
"Xunlang, I am also very happy to marry you."
After looking at each other, pink bubbles immediately filled the entire room and the two slowly approached each other.
Just when their lips were about to touch, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince is here."
Qi Xun immediately tutted in dissatisfaction. Why did he come at this time, not earlier or later? Wen Yuyan blushed and quickly sat up straight.
"Let him in." Qi Xun said.
As soon as Qi Chen came in, he saw Wen Yuyan. His eyes immediately rolled around and he raised the corners of his mouth with ill intent.
Qi Xun asked, "Why are you here?"
Qi Chen suddenly shouted indignantly, "Royal brother! I didn't expect you to be such a person. If you like Zi Su, why didn't you tell me in the beginning? Why do you have to wait until now, when I'm about to marry her, and you're just looking around and saying he doesn't agree?"
As soon as this sentence was thrown out, Qi Xun and Wen Yuyan's expressions changed immediately.
"Qi Xun! What's going on? Didn't you just say that you liked me?" Wen Yuyan stood up suddenly, pointing at Qi Xun and questioning him, her eyes full of disbelief.
Qi Xun was also dumbfounded. He was clearly after money, so how did he end up liking Zi Su?
"No, no, I don't like Zisu. I've always liked you, Yuyan, you have to believe me."
Wen Yuyan's voice softened, and she asked with a pursed mouth, "Really?"
Qi Xun nodded again and again.
At this time, Qi Chen sneered: "Humph, sister-in-law, my brother lied to you. He sent someone to tell me privately that unless I pay him, he will let Zi Su enter the palace as a concubine."
Wen Yuyan, who had just been coaxed, finally couldn't help herself this time. She looked at Qi Xun and burst into tears. She ran away crying, "You big pig's hoof, I don't believe anything you say anymore."
"Yuyan! Don't go! Yuyan, listen to my explanation!" Qi Xun was anxious and was about to chase after her, but his sleeve was grabbed by Qi Chen.
Looking back, Qi Chen's smile was even more amiable than before. He said, "Dear royal brother, please don't leave. I've brought you some money. Won't you count it?"
Qi Xun didn't realize at this time that he had been tricked, so he didn't have to be the emperor.
He shook his head and sighed, pointing at Qi Chen and said hatefully, "You really are a murderer!"
Qi Chen shook his head innocently, disapprovingly saying, "Brother, you are slandering me. It was Nie Chubai who said that you and Zi Su had known each other for a long time and that you had a very good conversation."
Hiss! Qi Xun immediately gasped. It turned out that it was all Nie Chubai's fault! Okay, okay, he remembered it!
"Leave the money and leave quickly."
Qi Chen shook his head.
"What's wrong again?" Qi Xun asked.
Qi Chen asked, "Where's the imperial decree granting the marriage? I gave you the money, and if you disagree when I come back, I'll lose both the money and my wife."
Qi Xun returned to the dragon case in a rage, wrote an imperial edict in a flamboyant manner, and then threw it to Qi Chen.
Qi Chen was not angry even though he was hit by the imperial edict. He opened it and took a look. He immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Tsk! My royal brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should practice your handwriting.
Twenty-five million taels of silver were spent on a few such insignificant characters. It was a complete loss."
Qi Xun raised his head, smiled brightly, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Are you leaving or not? If not, return the imperial edict to me."
"Let's go, let's go now. Tsk tsk, this handwriting is ugly, even uglier than Nie Chubai's wife's! It's really unbearable to look at."
The poisonous-tongued Ninth Prince lived up to his reputation.
Qi Xun sat behind the dragon table, panting as his chest heaved violently. After a long while, he suddenly stood up and ran out, saying as he ran, "Yuyan! Listen to my explanation!"
On this side, Wen Yuyan was crying like a tearful person, and then she fell into the arms of the Tenth Princess.
"Imperial sister-in-law? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Wen Yuyan nodded and stumbled over her story to the Tenth Princess.
The Tenth Princess was dumbfounded, looking like she was about to choke to death on a melon. Then, eager to watch the fun, she goaded Wen Yuyan, "Sister-in-law! This is intolerable. Let's go to the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion and find his wife and that Zi Su! Let's get to the bottom of this."
Wen Yuyan thought about it and immediately nodded in agreement.
The two went to Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and then the housekeeper said that Wen Yingxue and Zisu went shopping. The two then searched all the way and finally met Wen Yingxue and Zisu at Yupinxuan.
