[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Everyone was shocked by this unexpected scene.

Princess Anyang also looked at Tingqin with a shocked and astonished expression.

"County Lady, it's poisonous." Tingqin explained to County Lady Anyang in a low and quick voice.

Before Princess Anyang had time to digest what Tingqin said, she saw several of Princess Lingchuan's maids rushing over quickly, protecting Princess Lingchuan in the middle, and shouting in shock: "There is an assassin! Protect the princess!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene looked panicked, but before everyone could start to panic, the guards of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion had already surrounded the back garden.

However, the guards only stood outside and did not come forward.

The wife of Duke Anguo took a deep breath, held the hand of the Crown Prince's wife, Wang, and strode over.

"Princess, are you not frightened?" Madam Zheng asked cautiously, "What happened?"

At this time, Princess Lingchuan looked frightened and pointed at the maid Tingqin beside Anyang County Princess and said, "This woman is an assassin!"

Old Madam Zheng followed Princess Lingchuan's finger and looked at Tingqin. Then she saw Princess Anyang who was beside Tingqin. She clearly understood what was going on.

Lingchuan pointed at Anyang County Lord's maid and said that the assassin was obviously targeting Anyang County Lord.

Princess Lingchuan is the daughter of Concubine Liang and the younger sister of the Third Prince. She has been very favored since she was a child. Concubine Liang has been the favorite of the harem for many years, and the Third Prince is now a candidate for the throne. Princess Lingchuan's status has risen even higher.

Not to mention the Anguo Mansion, which has little power left nowadays, even the Zhenguo Mansion, which is currently in an important position, dare not offend Princess Lingchuan easily.

On the other hand, Princess Anyang is no pushover either! With her fierce and reckless personality, if something really happens, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion will also be in trouble.

She had not forgotten that at the flower banquet of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, Princess Anyang did not even take the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the Prime Minister's family seriously. She would make trouble if she wanted to, and beat people if she wanted to.

As a result, the Shun'an Marquis Mansion was remembered by almost everyone, but the Anyang County Princess was not only unharmed, but also received rewards and comfort from the royal family.

It can be seen that the identity of the descendant of loyalty and bravery still holds great weight in the heart of Emperor Taihe.

In the final analysis, we cannot offend either side.

How can this be good?

Just when Madam Zheng was in danger, Princess Anyang stretched out her hand to protect Tingqin behind her, and looked at Princess Lingchuan with a mocking expression: "Princess, are you going to reveal your true intentions?"

Princess Lingchuan looked innocent, blinked her eyes, looked at Princess Anyang and asked, "Why don't I understand what you are saying?"

The mockery on Princess Anyang's face became more and more obvious. She snorted and sneered, "You said my personal maid was an assassin. Then am I the mastermind? Should we both be beheaded?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Liang Yulan with a half-smile, "It's not right to murder the hero who sacrificed his life for the Great Zhou for a slut who stole someone's fiancé, right? Princess, what do you think?"

Liang Yulan, who had been waiting to see Princess Anyang get into trouble, was watching the show with excitement when she was suddenly insulted by Princess Anyang in public. She immediately became furious and asked in a harsh voice, "Who are you calling a bitch? How dare you say such bad things in front of the princess? Do you still take the princess seriously?"

The Princess of Anyang County sneered, "I will scold anyone who steals someone's fiancé. You are such a slut, can't you let someone scold you?"

The Wu family is a prominent family rooted in Datong Prefecture.

Unlike other aristocratic families that only care about family interests, the Wu family can be considered a loyal and righteous family.

Because the Wu family is rooted in the border area, they have always been actively cooperating and assisting the border troops in guarding the border.

Both her father, General Weiyuan, and her later successor, General Yang, praised the Wu family highly.

So, after her parents passed away, General Yang, who adopted her, arranged a marriage for her with Wu Mingyu of the Wu family.

She and Wu Mingyu got engaged two years after her parents passed away, which means it has been seven or eight years. As she is about to reach the age of marriage, their marriage is also on the agenda.

Wu Mingyu said that he would come to the capital to take part in the spring imperial examination, and he would marry her when he passed the exam.

She was waiting in Datong Prefecture with great anticipation for the good news that Wu Mingyu had passed the imperial examination. As a result, Wu Mingyu did live up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination!

However, along with the good news of passing the imperial examination, the news that Wu Mingyu wanted to break off the engagement with her was also sent back.

The head of the Wu family came in person to cancel the engagement, returned the betrothal gifts, and paid a large sum of money as compensation.

General Yang couldn't bear to see her being wronged, so he angrily canceled the marriage and promised her that he would find her a husband who would be ten thousand times better than Wu Mingyu in the future.

The marriage was called off, but she was still unwilling in her heart!

It was just a trip to the capital, and just a few short months, so how could Wu Mingyu disregard the affection they had for each other when they were seven or eight years old?

So she came to the capital.

However, before she could make any move, Wu Mingyu's current fiancée Liang Yulan provoked her first!

He hasn't learned his lesson from the loss he suffered at Shun'an Marquis's Mansion last time, and this time he brought Princess Lingchuan to cause trouble again.

Does she think that with Princess Lingchuan as her support, she can do nothing to her?

Ah!

I'll scold you without any negotiation!

If you dare to disobey again, I will continue to beat you!

Just then, several young men came over.

Before he got close, one of the men's face darkened.

The man in brocade robe walking in front had handsome eyebrows and eyes, and a distinguished temperament. Looking closely, it was not difficult to find that the man looked somewhat similar to Princess Lingchuan.

This person was none other than Princess Lingchuan’s brother, the third prince Xia Hongyang.

Hearing what Princess Anyang said, Xia Hongyang smiled and glanced at the man behind him. He couldn't help but joked, "Your ex-fiancée has a really venomous tongue. You didn't break off the engagement because you were scared of her scolding, did you?"

Wu Mingyu, who had already frowned, heard the Third Prince's joke and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Your Highness, why do you bother to insult me? You know that Princess Anyang and I are just married by our parents' orders and we don't have much affection for each other.

"Of course, if Miss Liang and I weren't in love with each other, I would never break the engagement and betray my promise.

"But no matter what, I am the one who is sorry to the county lady. There is no reason to let Miss Liang bear the county lady's anger for me."

Xia Hongyang raised the corner of his mouth playfully and said nothing more.

At first, the emperor was going to choose a consort for Lingchuan from the new Jinshi candidates. But Lingchuan didn't choose any, but Liang Yulan, who accompanied her to secretly watch the new Jinshi candidates, chose Xia Hongyang at first sight.

Although he was already engaged, for the sake of his future, he claimed that he fell in love with Liang Yulan at first sight and would rather bear the blame than break off the engagement and be with Liang Yulan.

To be honest, he looks down on people like this.

However, this man was talented and highly regarded by his father. He was directly selected as the third place winner in the palace examination.

Let’s put character aside for now; ability is what matters most.

Xia Hongyang suppressed his disdain and reminded her with a smile: "My cousin has been wronged, why don't you go and help her?"

With his relationship with Liang Yulan, Wu Mingyu is a natural helper in his bid for the throne.

……

PS: Dongyue is bad at naming, so Xia Hongyang sounds a bit ugly, Wu Mingyu doesn’t sound good either, and Xu Changping is even worse…(╥╯^╰╥)
