I fought back after reselling my engagement

Mrs. Rong was talking to the stewards at the Li family when she heard a maid come in to report, "Madam, the eldest daughter of the Zhen family is crying outside the gate, saying that if the prince doesn't give her an explanation, she will hit her head against the stone lions outside the gate and die."

Why are she here again? I sent a matchmaker to our house yesterday and she said some weird things. Now she is here again today.

Mrs. Rong said, "If I go out, it will be embarrassing. Let two eloquent maids go and tell me in detail about how Miss Zhen fell into the lake at the banquet that day."

The person who rescued the person was blackmailed, and the person who was rescued did not express gratitude and even insisted that the person's family take responsibility for the crime. This would never happen.

"Everyone, tell me, what kind of logic is this? My eldest daughter is discussing marriage with a noble young master, but because the prince embraced my daughter, my daughter has lost her reputation, and the marriage cannot be discussed!

Prince Rong has ruined my daughter's reputation. Doesn't he need to be given an explanation?

Poor my eldest daughter, she has only one way out except marrying Prince Rong."

Some people knew that Prince Rong once tried to bully Princess Jiarou at the residence of Grand Secretary Zhou, but was whipped by Princess Changle and almost lost his job in front of the emperor.

Tsk tsk, everyone knows that Prince Rong is a bit of a bully, and he’s in trouble again.

The girl was hugged randomly and her reputation was ruined, so she should be held responsible.

This area was inhabited by wealthy families. Some maids came out to watch the fun, and some common people were pointing and talking around.

"Prince Rong is too shameless. How can you hug someone randomly? You ruin someone's reputation and then run away..."

"Now if someone comes to your door, there must be someone who has been bullied but dares not come to your door to seek justice."

"It's really a sin."

Zhen Zhen sobbed, "My little girl has a miserable life..." She stood up and was about to hit the stone lion, but the two girls desperately held her back, "Girl, don't hit it, you can't hit it, it's not worth dying like this..."

A person who pretends, and pretends quite well.

The two are really similar.

The people around talked even more excitedly.

There was also a censor in the crowd, who was thinking of writing a memorial to impeach Rong Wei tomorrow. He said Rong Wei was having affairs with other women and was refusing to take responsibility for destroying other people's innocence. He was truly despicable.

The door of the Rong family opened and two maids walked out.

The leading maid said, "Miss Zhen, you fell into the lake at the banquet that day. If it weren't for you, my son, you would have drowned. You are not grateful for being rescued, but instead come to blackmail us."

The second servant said, "Last year, the young master of the Feng family was in the market and was hit by a mad horse. Our prince beat the horse away, and the Feng family prepared a generous gift to thank him. Miss Zhen, my young master saved your life that day. Are you giving him this gift to thank him?"

He didn't mean to hug anyone. It turned out that he fell into the lake and was rescued by someone. The person who was rescued was ungrateful and even wanted to blackmail others.

Some people were disdainful, saying that Prince Rong was unlucky enough to have gotten himself into trouble while saving people.

"It turns out it was a blackmail!"

"Tsk tsk, who knew that Prince Rong already had a fiancée, the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official."

"We're getting married soon, in just a few days."

"How shameless!"

Zhen Zhen wiped her tears. After hearing what the servant of the Rong family said, the common people immediately changed the subject and pointed it at her, "It's not a lake, it's clearly a small lotus pond, very shallow. I just fell, but he used this as an excuse to tease me and ruin my reputation..."

It's not a lake, it's a small quagmire. If you fall into it, you will die.

The two maids were a little dumbfounded.

The lake was an artificial lotus pond, less than knee-deep, so it certainly wouldn't drown a person, but it would be embarrassing if you fell into it.

Make fun of her and tarnish her reputation.

Prince Rong couldn't explain it clearly.

The next day, Princess Changle heard shocking news that Rong Yin had discussed the emperor privately, which was a serious offense, so she was stripped of her title and fiefdom, and demoted to the fifth prince's concubine.

Emperor Dezhi issued an edict to marry Princess Fanghua to the Fifth Prince as his principal consort. The wedding date remained unchanged and she would marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion on the sixth day of March the following year, the same day as Rong Yin.

Princess Dekang accomplished a great thing.

He returned to the princess's mansion with the imperial edict.

The prince consort came over, pinched her shoulders, and tried to please her: "Princess, is this done?"

"It's done." Princess Dekang said, "The imperial edict has been brought back. Call Fanghua over."

Princess Fanghua read the imperial edict.

She was very familiar with Rong Yin, and now the two of them were married together. Although she was the legitimate wife, Rong Yin committed the crime of disrespect and criticized the emperor. This was her future father-in-law, and the emperor was angry, so she picked up a marriage for him.

If you marry and live far away, you won’t be able to go home to visit your parents in the future.

Fanghua read the imperial edict and said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

"It's not hard for mother to run around for my son's marriage. Your marriage has finally been settled. Starting tomorrow, you will not go to Mingzhu Society. You should stay at home to cultivate your body and cultivate your character. Rongyin, that girl, is always jumping around. How can she criticize the affairs of the royal family? If I don't teach her a lesson, she will cause trouble in the future."

The prince consort massaged his wife's shoulders and asked, "What the Rong family maid was talking about..."

"My brother's taboo is unspeakable. Since ancient times, how many emperors have had their women robbed by their ministers? There are only a few, but he has to swallow this bitter pill."

Rong Yin even mentioned this matter, how could the emperor not be angry? Originally, no one would know about it, but once she shouted, people in the capital began to talk about it.

He is the emperor, but he can't even protect the woman he loves. Isn't this ridiculous and unmanly?

Zhen Mansion.

When the old lady heard that Zhen Zhen had caused a big fuss at the Le Da Marquis Mansion and brought up an old incident from eighteen years ago, she was so angry and frightened that she fell ill that day.

When Zhen Yuan went to the yamen the next day, the officials around him all had strange expressions on their faces.

Here came a brave man who actually snatched women from the emperor and even married a future empress. If it were any other emperor, he would have been chopped into pieces long ago. Wow, he is still alive. It's not easy.

So what if he just married her? They will just be a fake couple in name only. Even the daughter born belongs to a nobleman and has nothing to do with him. Why grieve over it?

I am still alive after all these years, thanks to the benevolent emperor.

If it were someone else, he would have been dragged out and chopped up long ago.

Zhen Yuan looked puzzled and asked, "My Lords, has something happened?"

"Master Zhen, why don't you go home and ask your eldest daughter?"

Zhen Yuan knew as soon as he thought about it that it was definitely not a good thing.

After leaving the court, I headed home. Sitting in the sedan chair, I heard some officials whispering:

"The man named Zhen from the Criminal Department's Reduction Division actually lived for eighteen years."

"What a surprise."

"His daughter is really bold."

"The daughter of the Marquis Leda's mansion was deprived of her title and fiefdom as a county lady because of her disrespect. Now she is just an ordinary girl from an official family..."

"The good first wife becomes a concubine."

One is the legal wife and the other is a concubine, how can they be the same?

Princess Dekang's daughter Fanghua is no pushover.

It’s all because of the gossip!

In the past, she was awarded the title and honor of a county princess because of her quick words, but now, because of her mouth, she has lost her noble status and has been demoted to a concubine.

Zhen Yuan felt more uneasy when he heard the discussions.

When I returned home, I heard that the old lady was bedridden because of the eldest daughter's arrogant behavior.

Without having time to ask the reason, I went to see the old lady first.
