Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me

Chapter 128: The accounts from the past year are settled today

The fire in Mixiang Tower burned for most of the night. As soon as the sun rose, people on the street gathered around.

"Oh my! Princess Huayang's shop is on fire. Nothing is left!"

"Just look at it, this was such a good business, but it was gone in the blink of an eye. God really knows how to play tricks on us!"

"What does God have to do with it? Didn't you see the excitement yesterday? It was Minister Jiang's wife who came to cause trouble, and was driven out by the princess. This is just revenge!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I saw it too. Madam Jiang forced the princess to kneel down before her. All the customers in the shop were watching!"

"Mrs. Jiang is so majestic!"

"Of course not. The one who was separated from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is surnamed Jiang after all!"

"No wonder he's so domineering... I can't afford to offend him, I really can't afford to offend him..."

The onlookers talked one after another, from the matter of the shop fire to the matter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Frost Leaf reported the lively situation outside back to the Princess' Mansion. Shen Xiyue smiled slightly. It was time for her to perform in the palace again. She would go and file a complaint against the Jiang family!

Just as she was about to speak, Lord Shen spoke before her: "Just stay in the mansion. With Daddy here, there's no need for you to come out."

Shen Xiyue blinked. Daddy is going to come forward... Oh, how can this be so embarrassing? It's really a waste of talent!

But Daddy insisted on going, and there was nothing she could do!

Lord Shen already knew that this matter was planned together by his daughter and the cunning prince, so everything was foolproof.

But he only has this one daughter, and he will be leaving Beijing soon, so he must make sure his daughter's future life is smoother.

He had to take this opportunity to tell those old foxes in the court that his daughter, Shen Jianshan, could marry whoever she wanted!

Even if his daughter wanted the stars in the sky, they were not allowed to say a word against her. If they wanted to blame someone, they could only blame the sky for being too high.

Lord Shen waved his hand and said, "Go, bring out the imperial decree granting the marriage!"

Shuang Ye glanced at Shen Xiyue, and seeing that she had no objection, he hurried to the warehouse to get it.

In order to perform the entire opera, Lord Shen moved his facial features vigorously, and then put on an expression of aggrieved, angry, and forbearing.

Mrs. Shen couldn't help but twitched her eyebrows: "......"

The Huayang Princess's Mansion was only a hundred steps away from the imperial city, and Lord Shen just walked over.

The guards at the palace gate naturally recognized Lord Shen and immediately ran in to pass on the message. About an incense stick of time later, Eunuch Shi beside Emperor You'an came personally to welcome Lord Shen into the Yangxin Palace.

Today is a holiday, and Emperor You'an is having dinner with Concubine Liang in her Zhongcui Palace.

Concubine Liang had just given birth to the sixth prince, and Emperor You'an would come to see her every day. When he heard the announcement at the palace gate, he comforted Concubine Liang with a few words and then went to the Yangxin Palace.

Lord Shen held the imperial edict in one hand, squeezed his eyes hard, and began to howl:

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! You love your son, and I love my daughter! It is my daughter who is not blessed. Please take back the imperial decree granting the marriage and ask them to cancel the engagement!"

"You old thing, if you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you threatening me with breaking off the engagement? Get up!" Emperor You'an felt a headache after hearing this. The wedding would be in a few days, why would you break off the engagement at this critical juncture!

Eunuch Shi hurried over to help him, and Lord Shen stood up. Then he began to complain, sighing, "Your Majesty, I know our Dashun ancestral precepts, but the Jiang family is really going too far..."

While Shen Jianshan was talking about the commotion in the incense shop and the fire in the shop, he took out the Jiang family token from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.

Emperor You'an's face darkened when he heard this. What did the Jiang family want to do?

Eunuch Shi hurriedly picked up the token and presented it to him. Emperor You'an immediately recognized the Jiang family crest on the token and immediately frowned and said angrily, "He is so bold!"

Emperor You'an had thought that the Jiang and Qin families would have objections, but he did not expect that the Jiang family would dare to provoke so blatantly. This was not only making things difficult for the girl from the Shen family, but also questioning the emperor's fatherly heart towards the prince!

Emperor You'an immediately ordered, "Go, bring that bastard Jiang Zisheng to me!"

-

Shangshu Jiang was originally having a great time in the Shangshu Mansion, thinking that his move was truly brilliant.

He neither offended the crown prince, nor was he able to get close to Prince Duan, and yet he did not alienate Prince Yao. He was able to handle all three bowls of water equally.

Humming a little tune, holding a purple clay teapot in one hand and a handful of millet in the other, he stood under the porch feeding the parrot. It was such a good day off, he really wanted to relax and unwind!

Every time the parrot ate a mouthful of rice, it would shout, "Good luck to the master!"

This made Minister Jiang even happier.

So Minister Jiang gave the parrot another grain of rice and taught it to speak: "Speak, the master is wise!"

The parrot tilted its head, ate the rice, and stared at Minister Jiang with eyes as big as soybeans: "Master..."

Before he could even learn how to say it, a servant came running over: "Master, it's bad, the princess's incense shop is on fire, and the patrolling officer found a token near the shop, it belongs to our Jiang family!"

"What!" Minister Jiang was shocked when he heard this. What?

The Mixiang Tower is on fire?

The officer also picked up the Jiang family's token at the fire scene?

Minister Jiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back, and he felt like he was covered in mud. Even if he hadn't done it, he would have done it!

The sharpness gained from years of immersion in the court immediately made him realize that something was wrong. He had made it clear to his wife yesterday that it would only be a minor fuss... His wife was just a little old and ugly, but she would never be so pessimistic.

This was clearly a deliberate frame-up!

No, he had to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and ask his father what he thought...

But before he could take two steps out, a servant came running in: "Master, Lord Shen has gone to the palace with the imperial edict, saying that the daughter of the Shen family is not worthy of the royal family and wants to cancel the engagement. The emperor is furious and wants to summon you to the palace. You should think of a way to deal with it!"

Minister Jiang almost choked out his breath: "Cancel the engagement? Oh my..."

My head was confused and the world was spinning. What did Shen Jianshan want to do?

He had never said anything about the military expenses he had withheld for so many years, and now his daughter wanted to cancel the engagement just because she burned down a shop???

What's going on in his mind!

The servant came to help quickly: "Master, Master, are you okay?"

When he thought of military expenses, Minister Jiang felt an inexplicable fear and hurriedly got up and ran to the study, intending to burn all the accounts of so many years immediately!

Minister Jiang pointed to the location of the study and said, "Hurry, help me over there!"

He locked himself in the study and found the account books he had kept for so many years, as well as some letters exchanged with King Yao, from the secret box. When he was about to burn them, he realized that it was already spring.

The weather has warmed up and there is a floor heating in the house, so there is no charcoal basin.

Minister Jiang tremblingly picked up the tinder, lit a fire and threw it on the ground. Just as he was about to burn all the things that were harmful to him, he heard a shouting outside.

Minister Jiang's hands were shaking even more violently, and he hurriedly threw the letters into the fire. But at this moment, the door of the study was kicked open with a bang.

Minister Jiang's heart skipped a beat with fright. When he looked up, he saw Crown Prince Murong Xuan.

Murong Xuan was wearing a five-clawed python robe and a jade crown to tie his hair. He had a solemn expression and looked down at him, with anger that could not be hidden in his phoenix eyes.

The flames on the ground had already been put out by Mao Ping, who followed closely behind, with the hem of his clothes. A small part of the letters were burned, but the account book was intact.

Looking back, I found that the accounts started ten years ago.
