Chapter 232 It's over, it's over, the sky has truly fallen.
Qin Yizhen didn't stay in the villa for long. After exchanging a few words with Madam Zhu, she got up to say goodbye and left for the Pingxi Marquis's residence. But just as she arrived home, Princess Huizhen came.
"Quickly change your clothes and come with me to Wanshi Tower."
"what happened?"
"What else could it be?" Princess Huizhen said angrily. "It's all because of my mother, who arranged for me to go on a blind date. She insisted that I go, and threatened to break my legs if I didn't."
Qin Yizhen blinked, somewhat curious: "Who is it?"
"And who else? It's the fourth young master of the Sima family. Do you know General Sima? He's his own brother, and he's in charge of Wan Shi Lou."
Qin Yizhen knew about Wan Shilou.
"Oh, Young Master Zhenxu."
After Qin Yizhen finished speaking, she felt that something was not quite right.
"Yes, it's that Sima Wuxu. You know he's the True False Prince!" Princess Huizhen clutched her chest, feeling a severe heart attack. "Tell me, what's wrong with Mother? Even if she's trying to find me a husband, she doesn't have to treat me like this, does she?"
"If he were disabled, wouldn't I be losing out terribly if I married him!"
Qin Yizhen was stunned at first, thinking to herself, "Oh, his name is Sima Wuxu, not Zhenxu Gongzi." Then, when she heard Princess Huizhen say something about "incomplete limbs," she felt that something was not right.
In the blink of an eye, she thought of something and almost choked on her own saliva, her face instantly turning bright red.
"Your Highness, you must never say such a thing again. If anyone hears you, even if you are a princess, they will beat you up."
You can call him "Young Master Zhenxu" if you want, but if you dare to say he's "incomplete in five limbs," he'll be so angry he'll hit you.
Princess Huizhen puffed up her cheeks in anger: "Do you think my mother has gone mad? Is she still my mother? She chose a husband for you, and she picked someone like my uncle. But now that it's my turn, she's picked someone like this for me."
Qin Yizhen glanced at her: "You only have one uncle, and you can't marry him. Besides, he likes me."
Upon hearing this, Princess Huizhen felt as if her heart had been plunged into vinegar, a mixture of sourness and bitterness: "Of course I know I can't marry my uncle, but I want Xie Zhan, and that's not allowed either."
He's still thinking about Xie Zhan!
Qin Yizhen reached out and pressed her temples: "I've already said Xie Zhan, you're not suitable. As for Young Master Sima, I can roughly guess some of it."
"His health is poor. If you marry him, you'll only have the title of husband and wife. You can live in the princess's residence and he can live in the Sima family's residence. You can live however you want. If you want to keep a gigolo, you can keep a gigolo. Just keep it a secret and don't let anyone know. Don't make the Sima family look bad."
Empress Dowager Cheng had considered arranging such a husband for Princess Huizhen.
In reality, Princess Huizhen herself was also restless.
However, the Sima family also benefited greatly from the princess's marriage. It was just a pity for Sima Wuxu, who was already in poor health, so he couldn't bring back a suitable wife.
Unlucky.
Princess Huizhen disagreed: "What? Even if I married well, does that mean I can't keep a gigolo? Third sister, you really don't know the fun in it."
"What's so fun about it?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be anything specific. It's just that there are a few handsome men surrounding you. One massages your shoulders, another rubs your legs, some pour you wine and feed you, some give you snacks and fruit, and some play the piano, sing, paint, dance..."
Princess Huizhen became more and more excited as she spoke, bending one finger for each word she mentioned, until she couldn't even count all ten on her fingers.
Qin Yizhen swallowed hard, and when she looked up, she saw Cheng Yan walking in from outside, his face already dark.
Princess Huizhen was still clicking her tongue, her face full of longing and seemingly savoring the moment: "Look, isn't it so much fun?"
Qin Yizhen thought to herself, "It is indeed joyful, but... but please save your life first."
"You seem so happy."
“That’s right, that’s right…” Princess Huizhen agreed repeatedly, but then felt that the voice was a little off. Hmm… it didn’t seem to be Qin Yizhen speaking. It seemed… it seemed to be a man speaking.
Princess Huizhen turned her head sharply and saw Cheng Yan standing not far behind her. She didn't know how long he had been standing there listening, and his face was as black as if it had been smeared with soot for ten years.
"Uncle... Uncle..." Huizhen trembled, feeling as if the sky had fallen. She swallowed hard and asked in a low, ingratiating voice, "Uncle, Uncle, when did you get back?"
"Just now you were talking about keeping a gigolo, one massaging your shoulders and the other rubbing your legs."
Princess Huizhen: "..."
Oh no, oh no, the sky has really fallen.
Seeing this, Qin Yizhen quickly took a few steps back to keep her distance from the two of them, so as to avoid hurting innocent people if they started fighting.
"Haha, hehe..." Princess Huizhen laughed awkwardly and forcedly, "I was just talking nonsense, just talking nonsense..."
After saying only one sentence, Princess Huizhen, remembering Cheng Yan's methods, couldn't hold back any longer: "Waaah, Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"You still know you're wrong?" Cheng Yan's face was still dark. "You really have a lot of nerve. You have a perfectly good life, but you insist on learning from those spoiled brats and behaving dissolutely. It's one thing for you to be dissolute, but do you want to drag your sister down with you?"
What the hell? Is he trying to trick his wife into keeping a gigolo with him?
Cheng Yan felt like he was about to explode with anger just thinking about it.
He glanced at Qin Yizhen, who stepped back, looking completely innocent and indicating that she was just a listener and that the matter had nothing to do with her.
"You come here right now." Cheng Yan glared at Princess Huizhen, telling her to get over here.
Princess Huizhen looked at Qin Yizhen with a pitiful expression.
Qin Yizhen had a headache. After thinking for a moment, she still spoke up and advised, "Now is not the time to worry about this. The Empress Dowager has arranged for my elder sister to meet with Young Master Sima at Wanshi Tower."
“对对对。”慧真公主连连点头,“小舅,就算是您生气了要揍我,也不能是现在啊,您看,要是司马公子看出来了,定然觉得我不规矩,那肯定更不能娶我了。”
"Although I am a princess, who would dare refuse a princess's marriage? But ultimately, I am going to marry him and become his wife. My mother also said that it's best if it's consensual..."
"You do have some self-awareness." Cheng Yan glanced at her coldly, but ultimately compromised, since marrying off this niece was indeed quite important.
only......
"If you dare to spout these nonsense in front of Yizhen again, don't blame me for settling all the old and new scores together."
Ultimately, it was because she said those things in front of Qin Yizhen that she was afraid Qin Yizhen would follow suit.
Princess Huizhen was furious, but dared not speak out. She could only smile ingratiatingly and say, "No, no, Uncle, I'm going to Wanshi Tower now."
