Chapter 601: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 22
There is still a long way to go. Although the sooner the clarification is made, the better the effect will be, she is not in a hurry.
As long as you keep calm, there will always be a chance to turn the situation around in the future.
After the master and servant got on the carriage, the driver of the Marquis's carriage waved the whip lightly without any instructions. The carriage started slowly and drove towards the direction of Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, with the carriages behind following closely.
Naturally, everything that happened in the stable did not escape the eyes of the eldest princess.
The eldest princess sneered and said to herself, "This Miss Zheng is really too impatient.
He hadn't even washed the mud off his body yet, but he was already rushing to blame his stepmother.
Didn't she ever think that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the prince's palace, she would be more confident if she had a strong family to back her up?
Now she's openly and covertly expressing her conflict with her family. I don't know if she's smart or stupid."
In the eldest princess's mind, if this matter had been done by the marquis' wife, it would not have ended so poorly.
Zheng Yuejin had been drugged, and she was given the opportunity to escape to the Second Prince's courtyard. This was not something a lady who had been immersed in the harem for many years would do.
She would rather believe that this whole thing was directed and acted by Zheng Yuejin from beginning to end. At most, someone did drug Zheng Yuejin, but Zheng Yuejin somehow found out where the second prince was and ran into his room.
The eldest princess also didn't know the second prince's orientation. Her thoughts were all normal thoughts in the harem, so it was certainly correct to think so.
On the way back home, Zheng Yunxi rode alone in a carriage at the back, Zheng Xingyao and Madam Hou sat in the carriage at the front, and Zheng Yuejin's carriage was in the middle.
Zheng Yunxi thought that the carriage on the way back was the place where he would least be afraid of being eavesdropped.
If Madam Hou wants to have a private conversation with Zheng Xingyao, now is the best time.
Sure enough, when her spiritual sense swept over, she immediately knew the whole story.
It turned out that when the Marquis' wife was in the mansion before, she had talked to Zheng Xingyao about the Second Prince and revealed that she wanted to tie the Second Prince and Zheng Yuejin together.
This was Zheng Xingyao’s first time experiencing a family feud, and she contributed quite a few ideas.
As for the method of obtaining the medicine, this was Zheng Xingyao's idea.
She abandoned the traditional methods of lighting aphrodisiac in the room or putting drugs in drinks.
When she was reading novels in her previous life, she felt that this method of drugging was likely to leave loopholes.
So, she came up with the idea of using a large amount of aromatherapy to administer the drug in an upwind, open location.
In this way, the person who is infected has only one piece of evidence: he smelled the strange fragrance at that time.
It was done secretly and it would be difficult to find out who did it if they were not caught on the spot.
After Zheng Xingyao proposed this idea, Mrs. Hou improved and perfected it.
So, as soon as Zheng Xingyao said she wanted revenge today, Madam Hou quickly took action.
On the way back to the mansion, Zheng Xingyao and the Marquis' wife vaguely reviewed what happened in the Princess's Mansion.
It also talked about how to deal with each situation better, which can be regarded as a practical teaching of house fighting.
After we had finished talking about everything, we were almost at the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion.
The Marquis’s wife gave the instructions in a serious tone.
"Xingyao, don't say anything when you get back. Just stay in your room and act like you've been hit hard.
Remember, no matter what happens, don't mention it again after it's over.
If a servant who helps you with chores mentions even a few words to you after the task is completed, remember that person must be eliminated without mercy."
Zheng Xingyao replied obediently: "Don't worry, mother, I understand."
Only then was the Marquis's wife satisfied.
After returning to the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, the Marquis's wife immediately went to see the Marquis and the old lady and told them everything that had happened in the Princess's Mansion.
After hearing this, the Marquis and the old lady were extremely angry on the surface, but they were not that angry in their hearts.
The eldest daughter cannot marry the crown prince, but can marry the second prince, which is also a good marriage candidate.
After all, it is difficult for a family to have two princes' wives at the same time.
As for the Crown Prince, according to what the Marquis's wife said, he clearly has intentions towards the second daughter, Zheng Xingyao, so there is room for maneuver.
And according to the Marquis's wife's analysis, the prince seemed to be coveting something in the mansion.
Marquis Xuanping decided to search the mansion himself first.
If you really have a treasure, it is better to keep it for yourself than to have someone else take it away without your knowledge.
It seems that the prince will not easily give up the marriage with the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion before he gets that thing.
Thinking of this, Marquis Xuanping and the old lady looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Marquis Xuanping retracted his gaze and said gently to his wife, "Xingyao has been wronged. I have a box of pearls and some gemstones that just arrived from the south in my private storehouse. Let Xingyao play with them.
As for Yue Jin, we'll wait for news from the Second Prince."
As he spoke, he gently patted the Marquis's hand.
"Thank you for your hard work. I understand your difficulties."
This is about Zheng Yuejin's implicit targeting of Madam Hou.
The Marquis's wife was apparently deeply moved and responded respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
But I don’t care about it in my heart. I just listen to it.
The old lady also looked very satisfied and said some compliments to the Marquis' wife.
While the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion appeared harmonious on the surface, there were signs of impending trouble on the Crown Prince's side.
He has returned to the East Palace and is currently sitting in the study with a gloomy face. Anyone who sees the prince like this knows that he is extremely angry.
But there were many people in the Eastern Palace arranged by the emperor, so he could only lose his temper silently.
The prince had already made up his mind. Although he decided to take Zheng Xingyao into the Eastern Palace, he had no intention of giving up Zheng Yuejin.
It is not impossible to have a Crown Princess and a Crown Princess.
In his previous life, he tried his best but failed to get any information about the treasure from Zheng Yuejin, which became a regret that he could not let go of.
To this end, he did not hesitate to find a monk with great talent who was expelled from Puguang Temple, cooperate with him, and use many evil methods to return to this life.
Because of this power, Zheng Yuejin and the prince returned to the life that Zheng Xingyao traveled to, bringing with them the memories of their previous life.
After living his life again, the prince changed his strategy and turned his attention to Zheng Xingyao.
The prince suspected that Zheng Yuejin either had no idea that there was a treasure in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, or was deliberately hiding it from him.
Therefore, he planned to marry Zheng Xingyao into the Eastern Palace in this life, thinking that Zheng Xingyao's biological mother was the current Marquis's wife, and perhaps the Marquis's wife would reveal some clues about the treasure to Zheng Xingyao.
At the same time, he also planned to bring Zheng Yuejin into the Eastern Palace.
In their daily interactions, he would dote on Zheng Xingyao to the utmost, but would belittle and abuse Zheng Yuejin in every possible way.
He felt that in this way, Zheng Yuejin would naturally try to please him in order to gain his favor, and would be more likely to reveal the news of the treasure.
