Chapter 3 Killing Crazy
Everyone in the Pingxi Marquis' Mansion changed their expressions. This was indeed a loophole, but from the very beginning, it was said that the Yun family, who was as wealthy as a country, would never agree to marry their deceased eldest son.
So, from the beginning, he was targeting the main wife.
However, Jiang Wenzhou went on a hunger strike to protest and insisted on marrying his sweetheart Ye Yichen. His family couldn't bear it and had no choice but to do this by transplanting the flowers.
Generally speaking, the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion is powerful and the officials protect each other. As long as the woman doesn't make a fuss, who would care about such a trivial matter?
But Yun Zheng made a fuss, and it was a big one.
Ye Yizhen's expression also froze, her eyes full of disbelief.
Isn't it said that Yun Zheng is the daughter of a merchant, of humble origin, with little knowledge, and is easy to control and fool?
Wasn't she afraid of being held accountable later? Or did she want to... break up the marriage?
The guests were whispering and talking among themselves.
It is allowed to have one wife and multiple concubines, and it is also possible to have two wives at the same time, but in name, the wife is married for the elder brother, and the name on the marriage certificate is the elder brother.
They are all smart people, they know very well that the Pingxi Marquis Mansion is committing marriage fraud. They want the other person's money but look down on her.
If the Marquis' Mansion said clearly that they were marrying a dead person, which good family who loved their daughter would be willing to do so?
The Yun family is the richest family in Da Qi. Finding a live-in son-in-law is better than marrying a dead person.
Normally, if this kind of thing goes unreported by the public and uninvestigated by the government, it could be brushed off. But if the person involved brought it up in public and said something to this extent, where would the emperor's face be if nothing was done? Where would the dignity of the court be?
Pingxi Hou reacted the fastest and refuted loudly.
"No, absolutely not. The Pingxi Marquis's family is loyal to the emperor, and heaven and earth can bear witness to that."
Yun Zheng said coldly, "You express your loyalty with words, but your actions are another matter. You only know how to fool the emperor..."
Damn it! Her mouth is so damned terrible! Pingxi Hou's forehead was buzzing, and he was furious, "Yun, shut up."
From the time he locked onto the Yun family as his target to the time he went to propose marriage, every step was under his control. As long as the Yun girl entered the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, his success would be achieved.
Unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, something went wrong.
He didn't know that the Yun family girl was so cruel and so... crazy.
Did she understand the principle of "prosperity and adversity are shared by all"? If anything happened in the Marquis' Mansion, she would not be able to escape.
Alas, because of my humble background, I don’t have a broad vision and no awareness of sacrificing for my family.
How could Yun Zheng let them go after being murdered so miserably in her past life? Why should she be sacrificed alone to fulfill the wishes of these ruthless and heartless people?
Sacrifice yourself for the Jiang family? Why?
She spoke with sympathy, "Miss Ye, you are so miserable. A good girl was deceived into marriage, and her innocence was completely destroyed. It's really pitiful. I suggest you file a complaint with the emperor and ask him to make a decision for you. You must trust our emperor. He is fair and just, and he loves his people like his own children. He will definitely make a decision for you."
These words were full of traps. Ye Yizhen had no words to express her grievances and felt extremely aggrieved.
Originally, Pingxi Hou and his son had planned everything, just waiting for the Yun family to fall into the trap, but Yun Zheng came towards her.
What could she say? She had always been the image of a noble lady, untainted by the dust of the world, and noble and above the world.
She thought about it for a long time and said through gritted teeth, "Sister Yun, things have already come to this. Why not turn a blind eye and cover it up with a brocade quilt? We are already the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion, and we must always put the Marquis' Mansion first."
Look, compared with Yun Zheng, she looks so decent and eloquent, and the people in Pingxi Marquis Mansion have a growing liking for her.
Marquis Pingxi nodded slightly. She was well-behaved and sensible, and was more suitable to be the mistress of the Marquis Pingxi's Mansion. Unfortunately, she was too poor and could not bring any help to the mansion.
Jiang Wenzhou was even more full of love, and the way he looked at her was so gentle that it almost made her drown in it.
Yun Zheng saw it all. Yes, Ye Yizhen was just that kind of person. She had taken advantage of everyone in her previous life and had all the benefits. She had a great reputation and popularity. This was also a kind of ability.
But this time, she can't climb up by stepping on herself.
"So, you knew this beforehand? Your Ye family is so obsessed with power that you don't even care about the most basic ethics and laws? Are you crazy because of poverty? By the way, how much dowry did your Ye family give?"
"Our Yun family's dowry includes 1,600 units, worth tens of millions of taels of silver."
There was a sound of gasps, wow, he is worthy of being the richest man in Da Qi, so rich, no wonder Pingxi Marquis Mansion is willing to bend down to propose marriage, with such a huge fortune, his descendants will be rich and prosperous.
However, her direct statement made the Marquis of Pingxi and his son very angry.
There are some things that can be done but cannot be said. Don’t they have any shame?
Jiang Wenzhou's face flushed red, and he was furious. "You always mention money. You are so philistine and not presentable. I am ashamed to associate with people like you. The cousin of the Ye family is of noble character and knows the big picture. She is a hundred times better than you."
When he gets angry, he tells the truth.
He originally only wanted to marry his cousin Ye. They were childhood sweethearts, in love with each other, and had already promised to spend their lives together. If his father had not forced him, he would not have been willing to marry a merchant's daughter.
Yun Zheng thought about the suffering she had endured in her previous life: her family was broken up, her dowry was drained, she was trapped in the backyard, and was given a chronic poison, making her life worse than death, for a full ten years.
Finally, because she was in the way, they drugged her and dumped her in a mass grave.
If I were to return to this world, I would fight them to the death. Even if I die, I will splatter their blood and take them all away.
"Ye family cousin? Is she the orphan who came to Beijing to seek refuge with the Marquis' Mansion ten years ago? I heard that you were wearing tattered clothes and had no money at that time..."
She suddenly understood, "I understand. You have no dowry, so you are not qualified to be the only wife of the Marquis's son. But your love is so passionate and inseparable, so I will find an unlucky guy with money to fill the gap for you."
Ye Yizhen's face changed drastically. How did she know this? Logically speaking, this information was kept secret and could not be leaked.
What else does she know? Thinking of that secret, Ye Yizhen's heart trembled with fear and she broke out in a sweat.
Yun Zheng stared at her intently. Was she nervous? Shouldn't she be angry? Something was wrong.
"So, now you have the money, and you lovers will finally be together. Only I, the unlucky one, will become the stepping stone of your epic love. You spend our Yun family's money, and you think our Yun family's money is dirty and smelly, and you also think I am an eyesore."
"You are clean, noble, and sensible. I admit that you are indeed hundreds or thousands of times better than me in calculating people's hearts. Thank you for making me recognize human nature."
She uncovered Ye Yizhen's shameful past and laid out the plans of the Pingxi Marquisate clearly on the table, allowing the world to see their ugly faces.
This was a mutually destructive tactic, hurting the enemy by 800 and herself by 1,000, but she had no other choice.
If you don't fight, there is only one way to go, and that is death.
The eyes of Marquis Pingxi were terribly gloomy. What a girl from the Yun family! She was really crazy. She wanted to destroy herself along with him.
Where does she get the courage from?
Well, Yun Zheng said she dared! This was just an appetizer! The crazier things were yet to come!
