Chapter 317 Leaving in disgrace
Chapter 317 Leaving in disgrace
Dai Fuguang stared at Min Zhiyuan with a gloomy look. He was not only extremely disappointed with this father, but also full of resentment.
"It's just to make the people you brought behave themselves. My brother and I are powerless and have to live a hard life in this imperial city. What can we do?"
Dai Wangshu slowly walked in front of Min Zhiyuan and lowered his head.
He suddenly pulled off the jade pendant with double animal patterns from his waist and played with it in his hand.
"Look at this thing, it looks like it's worth a few taels of silver, enough for my brother and I to live on for a while."
"I'll keep the jade pendant, but I won't keep you. After all, my brother and I live with others, and it's not convenient for you to stay here."
"Master Hanzhou, please show us around!"
As soon as Dai Wangshu finished speaking, Han Zhou outside the door pushed it open and walked in.
A sword was placed directly on Min Zhiyuan's neck.
"Please, Prince Consort."
Min Zhiyuan's face turned pale, he was angry, frightened, scared, and in pain.
He came here, but not only did he fail to bring the person back, he also lost a jade pendant for nothing.
This jade pendant is worth more than a few taels of silver, it must be worth dozens of taels of silver.
He glanced at the sword on his neck that was flashing with cold light and couldn't help swallowing.
"If you attack me, do you think you can leave this imperial city?"
Dai Wangshu smiled faintly.
"Why would they attack you? They are just asking you to leave."
"How about finding someone who can ask you to leave? Even a prince consort can't break into a private residence, right?"
Min Zhiyuan left angrily with a green face.
How could such a thing as forcing a cousin to marry off his daughter be spread out?
Once the people from the Imperial City's Military Affairs Department come to their doorstep, the matter will spread to everyone in the city. It would be humiliating for the couple, but it would damage the reputation of the royal family. If it were to get to the emperor, the emperor would probably come after them again.
The couple could not bear the emperor's wrath.
Min Zhiyuan was threatened by Han Zhou with a sword and walked away covered in dust.
Jin Tiantian lamented how shameless Min Zhiyuan was. It was true that people from the same family resembled each other.
This Min Zhiyuan is exactly the same as that Princess Zhaoyang.
"Wangshu, are you just going to let him go just like that?"
A hint of viciousness flashed across Dai Wangshu's eyes.
"How can it be so easy? I was able to escape his clutches today because of you. If it weren't for you, I would have been kidnapped by him right now and would have been forced to get into the bridal sedan."
"I must publicize this matter today and report it to the Minister of War's residence."
“Even if it doesn’t cause any substantial harm right now, it will create a rift between the Chu family and Min Zhiyuan and others.”
"If the Chu family knew about finding someone to marry you randomly, how could they not be angry?"
"When Min Xianning marries into the Minister of War's mansion in the future, the Chu family will always vent their anger on her. This can be considered as sowing seeds and reaping fruits."
Within a few days, the news that Min Zhiyuan was trying to find a cousin to marry off his youngest daughter spread throughout the imperial city.
The Chu family even came to ask whether it was true or not.
Yun Jinghua suppressed his anger and spoke kindly to the wife of the Minister of War, even promising to marry his youngest daughter into the Chu family. The rumors outside were just hearsay.
He appeased the wife of the Minister of War and sent her out of the palace.
Yun Jinghua's face darkened and he turned around to settle the score with Min Zhiyuan.
"They couldn't even do such a simple thing, and they didn't even bring the person back, but they actually let this matter get exposed. How did this matter get exposed?"
Min Zhiyuan's eyes were as dark as ink. This thing must have been done by the brother and sister.
He is incapable of doing anything, but always causes trouble. He harms others and himself, and makes them look bad. What good will it do for these two siblings?
Two idiots!
It's like giving birth to two debt collectors!
"Princess, this was probably done by the brother and sister. I didn't know they were so malicious and were trying to sow discord between us and the Chu family."
"Even though you are nice, the Chu family may already have some grudges against you."
"If Xian Ning were to marry into the family, I'm afraid the resentment would be directed at her."
How could Yun Jinghua not know this?
"Then what can we do? I have already said that I will marry Xian Ning. If it is someone else, wouldn't it confirm the rumors outside?"
Min Zhiyuan tried to play the deadbeat.
"Even if it's true, we can't turn against the royal family."
"We will proceed according to the plan, but we need to change this person. We can't rely on Dai Wangshu. She has a bad temper and is difficult to control. Should we change her to a girl from another family?"
Yun Jinghua frowned, feeling as if the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.
"Wouldn't that mean I'm not trustworthy? Who would believe my words from now on? They won't carry any weight anymore."
"As a princess of the royal family, I am bound by my promise. If I do something like this in such a high profile, I'm afraid my brother will have to skin me alive!"
"My brother is already very dissatisfied with our family. One thing after another has made him very unhappy, and he has been holding back his anger for a long time and is waiting to explode."
"If this matter is exposed, it will become a fuse, and no one in our family will have a good life."
"My brother wanted to send Hongwen to the border as a soldier a few days ago. The emperor should not take risks."
"Even though I am his biological sister, I dare not challenge his imperial authority."
"We still have to make some arrangements with the Chu family for this matter."
Speaking of this, Yun Jinghua became very conflicted.
She wanted to get the betrothal gift to relieve her urgent needs and to enrich her family's treasury.
He also didn't want to marry his daughter into the Chu family and let her suffer.
After weighing the pros and cons and debating for a long time, Yun Jinghua gritted her teeth and married her daughter to him.
If the Chu family embarrasses her daughter, she will never let them go.
After all, I can rely on my royal status to suppress the Chu family, and I will give them a warning when the time comes.
After her daughter got married, even if the Chu family was dissatisfied, they would not dare to make things difficult for them in person.
At most, it would be a little bit of a hindrance.
Yun Jinghua's self-comfort determined Min Xianning's life.
Min Xianning was dumbfounded.
She didn't expect that her mother would actually marry her off for the bride price.
"Mother, isn't the advice I gave you a bad one? Can't you marry someone else?"
"Why do you have to make me marry?"
"To put it bluntly, aren't you all just after the gift? Doesn't anyone who marries get the gift?"
"Why did that person have to be me? You guys want to kill me, you have such a cruel heart."
Yun Jinghua rubbed his eyebrows, looking helpless.
"Xian Ning, your engagement with the Chu family has already been decided a long time ago, so don't make things difficult for your mother."
