Chapter 431: Liu Rushi Persuades Kunxing
After arriving in Jinan, Zhao Xiaofei set up his camp in the Jinan prefectural government office.
But before he could even sit down, a personal guard came in to report.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
"The Fifth Madam is here!" said the personal guard.
The Fifth Madam was the name given to Shen Yunying in the mansion. Zhao Xiaofei was very puzzled when he heard that it was Shen Yunying who came.
But since my wife is here, I should go and pick her up right away.
As soon as Shen Yunying saw Zhao Xiaofei, she hurriedly said, “Husband, something happened in the mansion.”
"What happened?" Zhao Xiaofei asked in confusion.
So Shen Yunying told Zhao Xiaofei what the princess had done, and he did not comment.
"Have a good rest first. Since you've followed me, let's go south together and show how your husband, I, deal with the southern rebels." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"But what about the things in the capital?" Shen Yunying asked worriedly.
"Will the princess do anything to me?" Zhao Xiaofei said confidently.
He understood Kunxing's behavior very well. He probably still hadn't calmed down yet! He brought Zhaoren and the child into the palace just to wait for him to coax them after he returned.
"Women! There's nothing you can do about it. If she doesn't make a fuss, she can't make her presence felt. She needs a man to coax her. Only by coaxing her will she feel that you value her." Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself.
In the capital, at Kunning Palace, Princess Kunxing had her reasons for doing so. Ever since Jiang Xiaomei revealed the truth, her feelings towards Zhao Xiaofei had gradually shifted from admiration to disgust.
I had a very beautiful idea and believed that Zhao Xiaofei helped me rebuild my country because he loved me.
Jiang Xiaomei presented a series of photos and videos showing that Zhao Xiaofei made a lot of money selling cultural relics and then lived a life of luxury.
She even cried about how Zhao Xiaofei abandoned her and married Qin Baobao.
Princess Kunxing didn't believe it at first, but Jiang Xiaomei had so much evidence. Audio and video recordings, photos, and 21st-century newspaper reports made it impossible not to believe it.
So Zhao Xiaofei's image immediately changed from a husband who loved himself to a villain who only loved money and only cared about himself.
Princess Kunxing even deliberately tested Zhao Xiaofei by asking officials and eunuchs to send him some gifts. Zhao Xiaofei was quite honest and only accepted cultural relics, and rarely accepted gold or silver.
This proved that Zhao Xiaofei was determined to make a fortune through cultural relics. As for whether he really loved her, Princess Kunxing had deliberately spoken coldly to her before, but Zhao Xiaofei did not take the initiative to comfort her. He even suggested that the court return the money to him when it had recovered.
In addition, he fell in love with Jiang Xiaomei and had no intention of dealing with her, which made Princess Kunxing even more convinced that Zhao Xiaofei was a scumbag.
Moreover, Zhao Xiaofei was very opposed to his son becoming emperor at the beginning. Jiang Xiaomei told her that it was because Zhao Xiaofei planned to take all the children away and had no intention of living in Ming Dynasty for a long time.
Of course, Jiang Xiaomei's words alone could not make her believe these things, so she secretly sent someone to pick up Qin Baobao and Qin Xiaomi and bring them to Beijing for questioning.
Qin Baobao was unwilling to say it, but when Qin Xiaomi heard what Princess Kunxing meant, she knew that there was a rift between the couple, so how could things be said in a positive way?
Kunxing thought that Qin Xiaomi was like this now, would she still dare to lie?
Then the image of a villain appeared in Kunxing's mind, and he couldn't change it no matter what.
Sitting at the desk, Kunxing was in a daze for a while. Then a palace maid came over and announced, "Your Highness, Lady Liu Rushi has arrived."
"Let her in!" Kunxing said.
The maid brought Liu Rushi in. Liu Rushi bowed and said, "Liu Rushi greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"No need to be polite, just sit down!" Kunxing said.
The maid brought a chair and Liu Rushi sat down. Kunxing asked, "What would you do if you discovered that your husband was not what you imagined, or even unbearable?"
"Your Highness, if this is the case, I will see how he treats me. I don't care how he treats others, I only care how he treats me. As for his personal morality, I can only persuade him." Liu Rushi said.
"If he has the ability to save your family, but does not help for selfish reasons, and just watches your family fall into decline, what will you do?" Kunxing continued to ask.
"I don't know, but I feel very sad. Sometimes I think about revenge, and sometimes I feel that I should be patient." Liu Rushi said.
"Is Governor Zhao treating you badly? Or is there something wrong?" Kunxing asked.
A trace of worry appeared in Liu Rushi's eyes. She said, "I know some secrets, but I dare not believe them."
"Did Jiang Xiaomei tell you?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"She gave me a book, a history book!" said Liu Rushi.
"Did you bring it?" asked Princess Kunxing.
"I brought it. I can basically recognize the words on it." Liu Rushi said and handed a book to Princess Kunxing.
Princess Kunxing took the book and saw the words "History of Ming Dynasty" written on it.
"I actually know the truth. The prince consort told me the so-called truth. I was resentful, but I also felt that what he said made sense. But after reading the history of Ming Dynasty, I realized that the Ming Dynasty collapsed because of money. As long as he gave money to my father, without doing anything else, the Ming Dynasty would never have come to this day." Kunxing said.
"I should have spent my whole life with Mu Zhai, and even died for him. But now I have become Zhao Xiaokun's concubine, and all this is thanks to those two brothers. They changed history, and I don't know whether I should thank them? Or hate them? But now I know that their literary talent was all copied, there is no talent at all, it's all a lie. All the beauty is an illusion!" Liu Rushi said somewhat aggrievedly.
