Marrying a powerful eunuch three times

King Cheng was furious, "Commander Shang, you can't break the rules like this."

Shang Yan curled the corners of his lips.

"Before I came here, the Emperor specifically ordered me to show my appreciation for any good calligraphy or painting I came across."

As soon as these words came out.

No one dared to bid again.

Whoever dares to bid against the emperor would be like an old man hanging himself - wouldn't he think his life is too long?

Long Yu’s eyes almost popped out.

But he didn't dare to bid again.

The crowd continued to bid on the items below. The wife of the Jinyang Jiedushi returned to the capital to visit her relatives, and came with her sister who married into the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue.

She took a red coral ornament.

His eyes were filled with joy as he carefully introduced the red coral ornaments, which were seen by her when a foreign merchant from the sea came to Jinyang Prefecture to set up a stall to sell them.

"I don't understand these things either. I just think red coral has a nice color and is a good omen."

Everyone praised it.

Madam Shen glanced at Lan Xuanji and said, "Jinyang Prefecture is wealthy and a place where great scholars were born. The governor's son has reached marriageable age, and he came back to Beijing this time to find a wife for his son."

Lan Xuanji thought of Su Rutang’s words.

It’s difficult for the daughter of the Su family to get married.

The emperor was very wary.

Someone mentioned, "Major General Su's daughter has reached the age of marriage, right?"

Lan Xuanji raised her eyes and met Su Rutang's gaze, and all the annoyance in her heart was washed away.

Smile:

"Qingwan in our family is not planning to get married for the time being. She has a childlike nature. We will consider marriage when she is eighteen years old."

"Eighteen? Isn't that an old girl?"

Old Madam Shen showed a hint of displeasure, "What's wrong, old lady? My Yunying is also single."

This world is difficult for women.

They have been following rules and regulations for their whole lives since childhood. When they are fourteen or fifteen years old, they get married and serve their parents-in-law, taking care of the household chores. Their every word and action must represent the character of a woman and they must not bring shame to their husband's family.

I spent decades like a puppet.

They hope that their granddaughter can live a few more years of comfortable life.

The person who said the old maid lowered his head and felt unconvinced, but did not dare to refute.

Old Madam Shen’s status is there.

I'm afraid that the old lady will not be in a good mood, which would be embarrassing.

The red coral ornament was eventually bought by a declining marquisate, which wanted to establish a relationship with the governor of Jinyang.

Her family has several unmarried girls, and it is said that they are eyeing those powerful families and want to marry into them.

Unfortunately, her mistress was too calculating and was disliked by most of the noble ladies in the capital.

If you can't achieve high, you can't do low.

The auction was about to end, and Su Rutang hadn't seen Zhou Qiongyu come back yet.

I felt something was wrong for some reason.

"Aunt." She was about to speak.

The door of the flower hall was opened and Long Changjin rushed in crying.

"Father, mother. My little bird has rebelled."

His face was covered with tears and he pointed at the bulge on his body and howled.

Following behind were the servant boy and the nanny of Princess Cheng.

Everyone: "..."

The little girl didn't dare to look up and just wanted to hide under the table.

"What's going on?" Princess Cheng was shocked. Her son knew nothing and was as innocent as a child.

Zhou Qiongyu followed in.

Just kneel down on the ground.

Crying:

"Mother, I won't live any longer. The prince...he...used such a trick on me...I am too ashamed to face anyone."

Zhou Qiongyu didn't know that the prince was mentally deficient at first. She was blinded by wealth and fame. She wanted to seduce the prince, and after a few words, the stupid prince followed her wishes and went to an empty room to take off his clothes.

She, a girl, took the initiative to touch him, but frightened the prince so much that he started screaming.

He also kicked her hard.

The shouting alarmed the servants and maids in the mansion.

Even Chunxi and Xia An went there.

Disgraced and thrown into grandma's house.

The prince looked like a good boy who had been tortured. He cried and hid behind the nanny, seeking comfort.

Only then did she realize that the prince was a fool. She felt a surge of anger in her heart and had to frame the prince and ask the Cheng Palace to compensate her for her losses.

King Cheng was startled.

I never thought that my son, who was ignorant of the relationship between men and women, would dare to...

"Changjin. Kneel down before me."

Such a big thing happened in Prince Cheng’s Palace.

Madam Shen immediately stood up and offered to take her family back home, and said, "It's getting late, and the ladies have already had their tea and cakes. Why don't you all go back home? The little episode that happened later was just a child's joke."

Zhou Qiongyu's whole body was stiff. She didn't expect that Madam Shen would ask the witness to leave.

He also said it was a joke between children.

She stood up and shouted angrily:

"I'm dead."

She found the right angle and bumped into the smallest vase in the hall, hitting her head. She was afraid of the pain and didn't dare to use too much force, and she yelled to get everyone to stop her.

Unexpectedly, Chunxi and Xia An, who were closest to her, did not move.

The other ladies looked down on him and were too disdainful to come forward.

Shang Yan was fast, but he could tell what Zhou Qiongyu was thinking with just one glance.

He spoke coldly:

"See if he's dead. If not, pick him up and hit him again."

"Go and knock your brains out. If you want to die, then do it right away."

The ladies were terrified.

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is a devil, right?

Zhou Qiongyu, who was about to pretend to faint, took a deep breath. She moved slightly and groaned:

"Mother...I'm sorry..."

The pitiful voice made some ladies' eyes red.

The prince knelt on the ground and trembled with fear.

Pointing at Zhou Qiongyu, she cried:

"She is a bad woman who knows witchcraft. She said she would take me to do something fun, and she took off my clothes..."

Princess Cheng had a pair of strategic eyes, so she knew exactly what was going on.

"Don't say it."

She hated Zhou Qiongyu for plotting against her son, but she was afraid that Su Rutang would lose face.

Zhou Qiongyu struggled to get up, her makeup was smudged, and one of the buttons on her clothes was missing. Tears and snot were streaming down her face, "Prince, you are lying. It was obviously you who took me there."

"Do you dare to say that you didn't take me to that place?"

The prince hesitated.

He wouldn't lie, he was the one who took Zhou Qiongyu there.

It was Zhou Qiongyu who asked him if he had a place to sleep, saying that she felt very pitiful because her family had made her stay awake last night, and that she was a good person and would definitely help him.

His hesitation caught the attention of King Cheng.

"Evil son, did you bring her there?"

The prince was so frightened that he burst into tears.

He rolled and crawled towards Princess Cheng, "Mother, my father is so fierce."

Princess Cheng hugged the prince.

"Don't cry. Talk nicely."

Many people left there.

Lan Xuanji has a hard time walking.

"Sister Yu, don't cry. Chunxi, help Sister Yu fix her makeup." Su Rutang gave the order in a cold voice, then turned to look at Princess Cheng, "Please lend us a place, Princess."

"Zhen'er, take Miss Zhou to the back."

A maid from the City Prince's Mansion took them there.

Shang Yan looked at Su Rutang with his eagle-like eyes, watching her handle these things with ease. He then calmly asked the prince what happened at that time.

The prince seemed frightened.

He spoke without any order, but still told the story under Su Rutang's guidance.

King Cheng was even more furious, and called the chief historian in the palace to come, saying a few words about this and that.

Then, with a cold expression on his face, "Go to Minister Zhou's mansion and ask him. If he can't educate his daughter, send her to a nunnery."

The chief official responded.

Princess Cheng called out anxiously, "Prince."

Prince Cheng sighed, "I know what you want to say, but it has almost nothing to do with Su Rutang. Miss Zhou's birth mother is unknown, so we don't know how she was born.

He was not raised by Su Rutang until he was in his teens, so his temperament had already been formed."

After hearing this, Princess Cheng nodded.

Aristocratic families are particularly concerned about the mother's clean background.

She nodded to her nanny, "Do you know what to say?"

"Old slave knows."

There must be a few people outside, so the nanny walked out quickly.

Princess Cheng held Su Rutang's hand, secretly sighing that she might not be living comfortably in Zhou's house, and couldn't help but comfort her:

"If you have any problem, just come to Cheng Wang Mansion. Don't let yourself be wronged."
