I fought back after reselling my engagement

The chief steward of Rong Marquis's mansion reported the matter to the Marquis's wife.

Madam Hou cried out softly, and was so frightened that she almost fainted. This little girl, even if she knew about this kind of thing, she couldn't tell anyone, but she just said it out loud. It's over, it's over...

Rong Yin said, "How could a person as beautiful as Sister Jiarou be from your Zhen family? She is the daughter of the noble. The noble knows, and the old people who knew those things eighteen years ago all know."

She used "noble lady" instead of emperor.

Rong Yin said loudly: "Neighbors, neighbors, you have all seen it. This is not the first time that the Zhen family has blackmailed and harmed people. In the past, even the noble lady and Madam Su fell into their trap. My brother was tricked by the Zhen family. Their ability to blackmail people for marriage is a family tradition!

From now on, young girls and young boys in each family should stay away from the Zhen family, or they might be tricked."

The maid who came with them was very frightened. If they involved that person, the punishment would be death at best, and the whole family would be implicated at worst.

"Rong Yin——" Madam Hou walked out of the door.

Before Rong Yin could say anything, Madam Hou grabbed her ear and said, "Why are you being so arrogant here? Go home now!"

If she wasn't married, given her character of not keeping secrets, something big would have happened sooner or later.

Oh my God, how could she let these things out?

"Mom, it hurts, it hurts——"

"You know it hurts, I asked you to embroider your dowry, but you ran away in the blink of an eye. Get back here now!"

Rong Yin was pulled by his mother's ears and had to keep up with the pace.

She had been practicing martial arts since she was young, and her skills were not low. This was her biggest advantage, but also her biggest disadvantage. Because of her martial arts skills, she was much braver than ordinary girls, and she knew about this.

One night, she was too bored and slipped into the study room, where she heard her grandfather and father talking in low voices. Her father asked, "Dad, have you asked Uncle Su? What did he say? He will marry his granddaughter to the fifth prince."

"I've already told you, don't talk nonsense. He wrote back to say that the Emperor would not agree."

"Why is Uncle Su so sure?"

"Have you forgotten one thing? Back then, Su Wan and the Emperor..."

Before the emperor ascended the throne, he often visited the Su family. Some people said that he valued Su Jingzhai's calligraphy and paintings. Later, there were rumors that the emperor was in love with Su Wan, but because Su Wan's reputation was ruined by Zhen Yuan, there was no further news about this matter.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he first accepted Zhou Ting, the daughter of the Grand Secretary, into the palace. As soon as she entered the palace, she was named Shufei. The next day, he issued an edict to appoint Concubine Wang De as the empress.

Lord Hou was very surprised, "Jia Rou is the daughter of Su Wan and the Emperor?"

"Keep your voice down. The emperor knows about this, and Su Jingzhai also knows about it. They don't want to make it public, so we can't tell anyone."

Rong Yin, who was hiding outside, covered his mouth when he heard this. In other words, Jiarou, whom the Fifth Prince was obsessed with, was actually his biological sister.

How could the emperor agree to such an absurd thing as a brother and sister getting married if he knew the truth?

Why not say it?

Jiarou didn't know, and the Fifth Prince didn't know either. How unfair it was to the Fifth Prince, who knew that he had wronged someone with his sincerity, but it was his sister. If he exposed it, the Fifth Prince would let go of his obsession.

Correct!

Rong Yin had always wanted to do this, but he never had the chance to say it.

Now, taking advantage of Zhen Zhen's fuss, she exposed the matter.

After hearing the conversation between her father and grandfather, she sent people to investigate the events of eighteen years ago. After much investigation, she actually found some clues. If it weren't for the conspiracy between Zhen Tian and his son against Su Wan, Su Wan would have become the queen.

Zhen Zhen and his servant were still there.

The maids who were watching heard a huge secret, watched the excitement, and were about to report it to the ladies and wives.

The people were whispering:

"Miss Su was really unlucky back then."

"The imperial decree to establish the queen was already written, but she fell into someone else's scheme."

"When I was selling tofu in the streets, I saw the emperor visit the Su family."

"Someone once said that the emperor liked Lord Su's calligraphy and paintings."

"It's obvious that he likes the second young lady of the Su family."

A pair of lovers were separated because of the conspiracy in the harem.

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. In less than half a day, the news spread among officials and their families throughout the capital.

*

Princess Changle was the first person to receive the news, and it was the supervisory guards around her who told her.

This day happened to be the opening day of the Mingzhu Society, not the big society day. The big society days are the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. The first day is a poetry meeting, and the fifteenth is a calligraphy and painting meeting. The other opening days are small society days, hosted by other groups.

In front of the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, Princess Changle got out without waiting for the sedan chair to stop and ran to the study in the front yard.

Prince Gong was practicing calligraphy in his study.

"Father, father, is that true?" asked Princess Changle.

Prince Gong did not raise his brows and continued to paint. "What's the matter?"

Princess Changle said, "Today, a big event happened in the capital. The eldest daughter of the Zhen family went to the Le Dahou Mansion and tried to blackmail Prince Rong. She had an argument with Jiayi and revealed a big thing, saying that Princess Jiarou was the daughter of the emperor's uncle?"

It’s that girl from the Rong family again!

Why couldn't she just stop worrying? How could she say it out?

Well, this girl just likes to meddle in other people’s business and she likes to talk about it.

I don’t know who he inherited this personality from?

But not many people know about this kind of thing. How did Rong Yin know about it?

Concubine Zhou didn't know, Concubine Wan didn't know, and the Queen didn't know either. According to his observation, Concubine Yuan knew about it.

Among so many concubines, only Concubine Yuan was the most trusted by the emperor.

"Don't believe everything people say."

Prince Gong had been through many major events, but he pretended to be calm and didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Princess Changle said: "Father, could the Phoenix Lord that Master Xuanzang and Yuan Changfeng mentioned be..."

Prince Gong said, "What does the daughter of the Zhen family have to do with our royal family? Don't be so outrageous. You are even daring to discuss the right and wrong of the royal family."

Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief.

Somehow, she was afraid that Sister Jiarou was really of royal blood.

"Father, Jiarou's biological mother and uncle..."

"The girl from the Rong family is talking nonsense. The palace will summon her to give her a lecture tomorrow. Alas, she does not have the virtues to be a legitimate concubine. What a pity—" He dragged out the last word "了" for an especially long time.

"No...it won't work?" Princess Changle was a little surprised, because just because she talked about this matter, it was not just saying, but discussing, and it also involved the current emperor.

Prince Gong said: "Su has been dead for ten years, you are not allowed to get involved, ah! Others say that your uncle is your uncle, we are not allowed to discuss or spread it. Your aunt Dekang wants Fanghua to marry the prince, tut tut, now there is a chance!"

The Ninth Princess and Zhou Yijun were obviously a couple, and the Queen was happy to go along with it.

Princess Fanghua likes talented men. Among the many princes, the fifth prince has the best talent and is also on good terms with the clear-minded literati.

But the fifth prince had been engaged earlier, and no matter how he made a fuss, his fiancée never changed.

Princess Dekang has only one daughter, Princess Fanghua, so how could she be reluctant to let her marry far away? When she got the chance, she caught Rong Yin's fault and dared to discuss the royal family's right and wrong. The royal family hates gossips the most. If she didn't put her shortcomings in front of her, she would have to go to the palace to file a complaint.
