Chapter 123 Your wife is about to be bullied to death!
As he said this, the servant stood up the dirty bucket and poured water into it.
He pressed Xu Qianwen to the bucket.
Long Xianxian was so angry when she saw this!
These two mother and daughter are so bad.
"Father, your punishment for the Minister of Works is too lenient. His second wife and youngest daughter are truly wicked. They're currently bullying our eldest daughter at home. I'm so angry!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at the Minister of Works.
Many people in the court knew that he favored his concubine and killed his wife, and they all despised his actions.
So no one wanted to associate with him.
The main thing is that this person originally married into the family, but later on his family became the only one left.
You never know when you might stab someone in the back.
When his first wife was young, she was also a famous talented woman in Beijing.
How could he be bullied by the Minister of Works?
[Where's the little brother from the Zhennan Wang family? Why don't you come out and save the beautiful girl? Your wife is being bullied to death!]
The prince of the Zhennan Wang family?
What does this mean, little princess?
Could it be that the Prince of Zhennan and the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works were together at the Lotus Banquet yesterday?
Long Xianxian’s mumbling finally worked.
When the maid was about to put Xu Qianwen in water, someone suddenly came to report at the door.
"Madam, the Prince of Zhennan, his princess, and the crown prince are here to ask for marriage!"
what?
The wife of the Minister of Works and Xu Shiwen looked at each other.
"The Prince of Zhennan was raised by the Queen Mother, and he and Your Majesty are like brothers. If the Second Prince's place isn't working out, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion is also a good place for him. Shiwen, it seems the Crown Prince of Zhennan has taken a fancy to you."
Xu Shiwen shook her head. "But the Prince of Zhennan is too ugly. If my daughter doesn't marry him, she is still the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion. How can she hold her head up in front of the ladies in the capital if she doesn't marry the prince?"
The wife of the Minister of Works knew that her daughter had lofty ambitions.
"How dare you say that? There were so many princes yesterday, but why did you attack the Second Prince? He was even driven out of the palace. How could His Majesty and the Queen marry you to a prince? What's wrong with the Crown Prince? You would be the principal wife if you married him."
Xu Shiwen said reluctantly: "Okay then!"
When Xu Qianwen heard that the Zhennan King's family was coming, she immediately struggled desperately.
"Let me go, let me go..."
The wife of the Minister of Works saw this and said, "Take this bitch to the woodshed!"
The main hall of the Minister of Works' house.
The Prince of Zhennan and the Princess took their seats, and the Crown Prince sat beside them.
The wife of the Minister of Works came with Xu Shiwen and first paid her respects to the Prince of Zhennan and the Princess.
Xu Shiwen almost vomited after seeing the prince.
She pulled the wife of the Minister of Works and said, "Mother, this prince is also..." Too ugly!
The wife of the Minister of Works looked at her daughter sternly.
Appearance is nothing, power is what matters.
This is the Prince of Zhennan, a brother whom the current emperor trusts very much.
"Prince Zhennan, the princess and the prince have come to the palace in person. I wonder what they are doing here?"
Prince Zhennan smiled and said, "My son has taken a fancy to your daughter, so he came to ask for marriage!"
The wife of the Minister of Works smiled and said, "I see. This is truly a blessing for my daughter. Shiwen, come and meet the Prince of Zhennan and the Princess."
Xu Shiwen came over and lowered her head shyly: "Meet the Prince of Zhennan, the Princess, and... the Crown Prince!"
The Prince of Zhennan frowned and stood up immediately.
"It's not her. This prince's consort is the eldest daughter of your family!"
what?
The wife of the Minister of Works frowned.
She smiled awkwardly: "Sir, Shiwen is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."
The Prince of Zhennan: "Didn't she try to seduce the Second Prince yesterday? People with bad character are not favored by my Zhennan Palace!"
The Prince of Zhennan suddenly thought of something and angrily asked, "Where is the eldest daughter of your family?"
The Prince of Zhennan was tall and strong, and looked ferocious. His roar scared the wife of the Minister of Works.
"Sir, you're talking about Qianwen... She... She went to the farm in the countryside today, so she's not in the mansion!"
Xu Shiwen was so angry that she almost died. She didn't expect that this ugly and strange prince would fall in love with Xu Qianwen. How was she inferior to Xu Qianwen?
The Prince of Zhennan thought of the injuries Xu Qianwen had suffered yesterday, and naturally did not believe the nonsense of the wife of the Minister of Works.
Then he grabbed the maid next to him and asked viciously, "Where is the young lady?"
The maid looked at the wife of the Minister of Works and shook her head, saying, "This servant... doesn't know!"
But the Prince of Zhennan became anxious and immediately grabbed the maid's neck.
"Where is she?"
The wife of the Minister of Works was also angry: "Sir, this is my Minister of Works' residence, how can you be so presumptuous!"
The Prince of Zhennan snorted coldly, "Why, am I being so presumptuous today? Just let the Minister of Works come to me and see if this marriage can be successful."
The maid was terrified and could only say, "The young lady... is in the woodshed!"
The Prince of Zhennan then released the maid.
"Take this prince with you!"
Then, the maid led the way, and the Prince of Zhennan followed.
When the wife of the Minister of Works saw this, she became anxious and followed after him.
"Prince, listen to me, Prince..."
In the woodshed, Xu Qianwen was thrown next to the stove.
She was covered in dirt and her eyes darkened.
If the Prince of Zhennan couldn't see him, would he leave?
She couldn't help crying.
"Mother, my daughter is about to escape from this sea of suffering, but..."
She even wanted to die!
She saw the knife on the stove and picked it up.
She calculated the time and thought it should be almost time!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside.
Xu Qianwen immediately raised the knife and was about to slit her own throat.
The door was kicked open with a bang.
When the Prince of Zhennan saw this, he quickly kicked the knife away.
"Qianwen!"
Xu Qianwen staggered a few steps and was caught in the arms of the Prince of Zhennan.
Xu Qianwen started crying when she saw the person coming.
"Wow, Prince, I thought I would never see you again!"
Long Xianxian breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the young man from the Zhennan Wang family arrived just in time. The eldest daughter of the Xu family nearly committed suicide. The wife of the Minister of Works was truly wicked. She had the young daughter imprisoned and even attempted to have her own daughter take her place.
When the Minister of Works heard this, he immediately knelt down.
He never expected that his wife and daughter were so bold.
When his daughter came back yesterday, he still had some hope, after all, it was just a misconduct in front of the palace.
The eldest daughter came back late, but he never paid much attention to her, so he didn't care.
He never expected that the Prince of Zhennan would fall in love with his eldest daughter.
Today he came to propose marriage in a grand manner.
"Your Majesty, I failed to discipline her properly. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I will divorce that vicious woman when I get home."
The emperor snorted coldly: "I have indeed punished you too lightly. I will demote you three levels and make you the prefect of Changzhou!"
He married into the family of another woman and finally climbed to his current position, but in the end... everything was in vain.
