break off an engagement
Zhao Fanghua returned to her room with a look of despair on her face. She threw herself on the bed without even taking off her shoes and socks. She had thought she could do whatever she wanted with the script in her hands, but she had not expected that the original novel had not mentioned the existence of an evil mother-in-law and a childhood sweetheart at all.
In this epic career masterpiece with Shen Xiujin as the main male protagonist, the affairs in the backyard are not worth mentioning.
She was being asked to immediately enter hell mode, face the family affairs, and compete for favors with her soon-to-be husband and concubines, as an orphan who had lived under someone else's roof since childhood and had lived alone since she was old enough to understand. No, no, she couldn't do it.
This so-called male protagonist's wife is not as good as she thought.
Shuyu asked tentatively, "Your Highness?"
Zhao Fanghua buried his head in the pillow, just wanting to be an ostrich quietly.
Shuyu continued, "Your Highness, are you sad that Shen Tanhua has found a concubine so soon?"
Zhao Fanghua remained silent.
Shuyu thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, are you afraid that Shen Tanhua will look down on you? What's the difficulty? Your Highness is the only eldest princess of Dasheng, and your status is invaluable. That Ruan Jiaojiao is just a concubine, how can she compete with Your Highness for glory?"
Yes, Zhao Fanghua raised her head from the pillow. She was the eldest princess, second only to two people and above ten thousand people! A mere Ruan Jiaojiao, just a concubine, Ruan Jiaojiao, wouldn't it be easy for her to control her?
Thinking of this, Zhao Fanghua instantly gained confidence and jumped out of bed. She decided that today was the day to meet Ruan Jiaojiao.
Before setting off, Zhao Fanghua specifically instructed Shuyu to prepare the most luxurious carriage and the most powerful support in the Princess's Mansion.
Before getting on the carriage, Zhao Fanghua took in the grand ceremony. It was much grander than her last visit to the palace, and she felt more confident. She was the eldest princess, and they say a higher rank can crush someone. She was so many levels higher than Ruan Jiaojiao, wouldn't it be as easy to control her as crushing an ant?
Zhao Fanghua sat happily in the carriage, thinking about how to give Ruan Jiaojiao a warning along the way, but after thinking about it, she still didn't know how to do it.
Although she has read many novels about domestic and palace fighting, there are three things she doesn't remember when reading novels: the author, the names of the male and female protagonists, and most importantly, the plot.
Sometimes, she would even encounter a minefield in the middle of reading a book and was about to give up on it, only to find out that she had read the book before, and even gave up on it because of the same plot.
While I was daydreaming about this, the carriage had already stopped.
Shuyu reminded: "Your Highness, we're here."
Zhao Fanghua touched the pearls and jade on her hair, adjusted her luxurious dress, and then got out of the car with her head held high with the help of Shuyu.
It is not difficult to find out where Ruan Jiaojiao lives. You can find out by asking Shen Xiujin's accompanying servant.
"Smash the door." Zhao Fanghua said unjustly.
In an instant, the door was smashed open, revealing a small courtyard. Although small, it was elegant. Perhaps because they had just moved in that morning, the yard was overgrown with weeds and looked a bit messy.
The maids and servants quickly cleaned up the middle of the courtyard, laid out the carpet, placed the cushions, and lit the incense burner. After some effort, Zhao Fanghua took a seat with the help of Shuyu.
It doesn't look like they are here to bring an attack, but rather to enjoy themselves on vacation.
Two powerful guards quickly dragged out a young and beautiful woman from the inner room. I felt pity for her. While no one was paying attention, a young maid in the courtyard took advantage of the situation and slipped out through the back door.
"Who are you? How dare you break into a private house!" Ruan Jiaojiao asked.
Zhao Fanghua felt a little uncomfortable when he used his power to bully others for the first time, like a child who had done something bad and was caught by the teacher.
She quickly coughed twice to give herself courage and signaled Shuyu with her eyes.
Shuyu glanced disdainfully at Ruan Jiaojiao lying on the ground and said, "This is Her Royal Highness the Princess. Why don't you bow to her when you see her?!"
Ruan Jiaojiao, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly looked up at Shuyu sitting on the chair, then quickly lowered her head and said, "I am Ruan Jiaojiao, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. I just don't know why Her Royal Highness has come here."
Isn't this asking knowingly? Zhao Fanghua's anger rose immediately. Ruan Jiaojiao, you are so good, you secretly had an affair with Shen Xiujin and had a child behind her fiancée's back, and now you have the nerve to ask her what she is talking about?
However, thinking of this, Zhao Fanghua came back to his senses. Ruan Jiaojiao could not reproduce asexually. To put it bluntly, Ruan Jiaojiao only had one slap, and Shen Xiujin had the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
Zhao Fanghua instantly regretted that she shouldn't have ignored her emotions and directly caused trouble for Ruan Jiaojiao. She should have caused trouble for the culprit, Shen Xiujin.
Zhao Fanghua felt a little discouraged for a moment, waved his hand, and was about to go back home, but Ruan Jiaojiao spoke first.
"Is Her Royal Highness the Princess here for the baby in this woman's womb?"
Zhao Fanghua narrowed his eyes slightly and motioned Ruan Jiaojiao to continue.
Ruan Jiaojiao kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Fanghua again and said, "I know my status is low, and I dare not hope to serve my cousin. But I am innocent, and I hope Her Royal Highness the Princess will give me a way out. If the Princess likes me, I will treat me as a little toy for fun. If the Princess doesn't like me, I will just throw me away on any farm. I will not be an eyesore to the Princess. As for me..." Ruan Jiaojiao lowered her head to the floor, "I just hope the Princess will not blame my cousin. It is all because of my admiration for him. He is innocent."
Zhao Fanghua touched his chin, things seemed to be getting interesting. Isn't Ruan Jiaojiao the standard harem of a male protagonist in a novel, a childhood sweetheart who always takes care of him and loves him but does not ask for any status or return.
As soon as Zhao Fanghua returned to the Princess's Mansion, she saw Shen Xiujin rushing over. Before Zhao Fanghua could speak, Shen Xiujin asked, "Your Highness! Did you go to the East Market to see Jiaojiao just now?"
Zhao Fanghua asked back, "So what?" She wanted to see what Shen Xiujin was up to.
Shen Xiujin said: "Jiaojiao is a weak woman, why does Your Highness want to embarrass her?"
"I'm making things difficult for her?" Zhao Fanghua was confused. "Who told you I was making things difficult for her?"
Zhao Fanghua was puzzled. How come someone had informed Shen Xiujin about this matter before she even returned to the mansion? There must be a traitor around her!
Shen Xiujin acted as if she didn't want to argue with Zhao Fanghua but had to, saying, "Why are you acting like a princess in front of an orphan like her? It's fine if you usually show off to me and mother at home. Mother wouldn't mind, and I'd be happy to spoil you, but now you've embarrassed yourself and are showing it off to the public."
Zhao Fanghua was filled with questions. "Putting on airs? Embarrassing? Showing off? I'm the eldest princess. What does it mean to put on airs? That's just how I behave when I travel! And when have I ever shown off in front of you? We've only been together for one day, so why are you saying you've been dissatisfied with me for a long time?"
Shen Xiujin turned his face away, looking like a good man who doesn't fight with a woman.
Zhao Fanghua didn't tolerate him and pulled him by the collar, forcing him to face her: "I'm talking to you, why are you pretending to be dumb?"
"Ahhhh!" A burst of rapid screams exploded in Zhao Fanghua's ears.
Zhao Fanghua frowned and turned around to see Ruan running towards him in shock.
Ruan hugged Shen Xiujin in her arms and said to Zhao Fanghua viciously: "You, you, you! You are such a vicious woman, Zhao Fanghua! You are disrespectful to your mother-in-law and your husband, and now you are even more jealous and trying to murder my son's bloodline!"
Zhao Fanghua looked at the scene of the two people showing the deep love between mother and son, and laughed out of anger. Well, well, she has met a family of the worst. Ruan is an old shrew, and Shen Xiujing is a mama's boy who lives off his wife. The whole family bullies her and they still want to cling to her and suck her blood. Bah, dream on.
Although she knew that Shen Xiujin was the male protagonist in the book and would become a high-ranking official in the future, Zhao Fanghua would not indulge this stinky man.
Zhao Fanghua looked around and saw that the maids and guards were all there. She felt relieved instantly. She walked up to Ruan with her hands behind her back and said, "Didn't you say I was a vicious woman? Then I'll show you what a vicious woman is!"
Zhao Fanghua immediately ordered the guards, "Pull these two apart and give each of them two slaps in the face. Make sure they're loud!"
"Yes!" The guards answered in unison. Before Ruan and Shen Xiujing could react, the tall and strong guards had pulled them apart and slapped them on the face with two big slaps on the ears.
Two handprints were instantly imprinted on the two men's faces, so fast that it caught people off guard.
Zhao Fanghua clapped his hands, said "good" with satisfaction, and told Shuyu to remember to give him a reward.
She looked at Shen Xiujin. His originally handsome appearance now looked hideous. Zhao Fanghua was unwilling to spend the rest of her life with such a person, especially when she thought that he and Ruan Jiaojiao already had a child. The scene of the two of them lying naked on the bed and intertwining with each other emerged in her mind. She almost vomited the overnight meal.
She wants to cancel the engagement and drive this family of vampires out of the Princess's Mansion!
