The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Shangguanfu

When Murong came back from the street, the slap mark on her face had not yet disappeared, and Prince Shen's Mansion sent someone to propose marriage, but Murong flatly refused.

Not long after, Helian came in person and said something to Shangguan Si that made Shangguan Si agree to hold the wedding.

Murong wanted to refuse but she didn't even meet Helian. It was not until Prince Shen's Mansion sent Miss Lang that Murong could no longer sit still and went to the old lady.

"Mother, Miss Lang has a bad reputation now, and she was kidnapped and disappeared for a few days. How can such a person be the future mistress of the Shangguan family?"

If it were in the past, Murong would have considered it.

But now, it's too late for her to complain.

The old lady had been in a bad mood these days. When she heard about this, she felt dizzy and almost fell on the couch.

"Mother." Murong supported the old lady.

The old lady lifted the quilt and said, "I'm going to find Si'er."

So Murong helped the old lady to find Shangguan Si. With the old lady's presence, they soon saw Shangguan Si.

Shangguan Si glanced at the slightly red palm mark on Murong's face with displeasure, but did not poke it. He saluted to the old lady and said, "Mother."

"Do you really agree to this marriage? Lang Jie'er has a bad reputation and is a concubine's daughter. How can she be worthy of Zheng Ge'er?"

Shangguan Si was helpless: "Broken bones are connected to tendons. Langjie is the daughter of Prince Shen after all, and she has lost her innocence in Shangguan Mansion. It is reasonable for Zhengge to be responsible."

"But what about the fact that she was kidnapped a few days ago? I heard that she was tied up and thrown at the gate of the Shen County Prince's Mansion. Many eyes saw it."

The old lady covered her chest with her hands when she was excited. "In this life, your father cares most about his reputation. You are trying to smear the reputation of the upper government. How will the world see us? This marriage cannot be completed!"

"Mother, we can't afford to offend the Prince Shen's Mansion." Shangguan Si simply laid it out and said, "We have given Prince Shen's Mansion so many gifts over the years, and we have so many handles on them..."

The old lady choked up and stomped her cane angrily: "I reminded you at the beginning that the prince was the most suitable candidate, but you insisted on waiting and now you are in trouble!"

Shangguan Si bowed his back and said, "Mother, calm down. Princess Shen said that as long as the Shangguan family marries Lang Jie'er, some things will not be pursued. If I abandon Lang Jie'er, people will definitely blame our Shangguan family for taking advantage of Qiao and even humiliating the daughter of the prince."

When these words were spoken, the few people fell silent.

The old lady sighed and bent down to sit down. She stared, "In the final analysis, it's all because the Crown Princess has no children. If she had a child, why would the Shangguan Mansion go down this path?"

Seeing that the old lady had compromised, Murong became even more anxious: "Even if we want to get married, you won't give me the position of the legal wife."

"Stupid!" The old lady glared at Murong and said, "You still want to make the Shen County Prince's Mansion lose face? What do you think of letting a county prince's daughter be a concubine?"

"Now the outside world is already saying what happened in the Shangguan Mansion these days. It's because you, the mistress, didn't manage the household strictly." The old lady said meaningfully: "From now on, you should pretend to be sick. I will be in charge of the mansion. When the storm has passed, we can make a long-term plan."

Murong's face turned pale. She was beaten, forced to have a daughter-in-law she didn't like, and was deprived of her rights as a housekeeper.

I feel this humiliation stuck in my heart, I can't spit it out or swallow it down, it's really suffocating.

"Just listen to mother." Shangguan Si agreed immediately.

So the old lady chose a courtyard for Miss Lang and set up several tables of banquets in the house to welcome Miss Lang into the house.

We will hold a wedding for Miss Lang the next day.

Miss Lang lay on the couch listening to the shouting beside her, frowned, and ordered the maid to close the door. Even so, she could not block out the noise outside.

She propped herself up and tried to get up, but as soon as she moved, she felt excruciating pain all over her body, and big beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.

boom!

He fell heavily on the couch again.

"Young lady." The maid stepped forward.

Miss Lang gritted her teeth and asked, "What's going on outside?"

"To answer the young lady, the Shangguan Mansion is preparing and will hold a wedding banquet for you tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?" Miss Lang frowned. After all, she was a daughter of Prince Shen's mansion. If she was in such a hurry to get married, it would definitely not be too grand.

The maid bowed her head and said nothing.

Miss Lang asked the maid for the dowry list again. After taking it and looking at it, she almost fainted with anger. It was all worthless things, more than a dozen boxes, which were not worth five thousand taels of silver in total. Yet she was given the list just like that.

Seeing that Miss Lang was about to get angry, the maid whispered, "Before she left, the Princess left you a message. She said that if you don't gain a firm foothold in the Shangguan Mansion, you will die in the future. The Shen Mansion does not welcome you back."

Miss Lang's face changed slightly, and then she lay on the couch and cried bitterly.

Everyone is bullying her, why should she be bullied?

"Miss, someone has sent you a letter." Seeing that there was no one around, the little maid secretly delivered a letter.

After Miss Lang calmed down, she took the letter and opened it. Her brows furrowed even more tightly. It turned out to be written to her by Zhao Sui.

The letter said that he wanted to save her from suffering and invited her to leave Shangguan Mansion during the chaos during the wedding banquet tomorrow and take her away.

When the maid saw the contents of the letter, she was horrified and hurriedly tried to persuade them, saying that if they really let Miss Lang go, Helian would be the first to skin her alive!

"Young lady, please don't be stupid. Young Master Zhao is now in disgrace and has been demoted again and again by the Emperor. He has no future. If you follow him, you will not only suffer, but also be cursed by others. Young Master Zheng will inherit the Shangguan Mansion in the future. The Crown Princess is easily influenced. She is angry with the Shangguan Mansion now, but sooner or later she will have to support Young Master Zheng."

Miss Lang tore up the letter without any hesitation. She would certainly not leave with Zhao Sui easily. She wanted to stay in the capital and watch the day when Lu Jingning was disgraced!

"Go tell him that we are not destined to be together in this life, but we can continue in the next life. Don't think about me anymore."

The maid nodded.

After waiting at the back door for more than half an hour, Zhao Sui finally got a response. After listening, he frowned and said, "I don't believe it. How could Lang'er be so cruel? Does she have any unavoidable reasons?"

The maid said sarcastically, "Mr. Zhao, please respect yourself. My daughter will be the eldest lady of the Shangguan Mansion tomorrow. She will be married to a noble family with a formal marriage. And you are just a legitimate son of the Zhao family. You want to take my daughter away and treat her like a rat crossing the street. Don't you even consider whether you are worthy of her?"

After saying that, the maid turned around and left, without considering Zhao Sui's livid face.

Suddenly a carriage pulled up beside Zhao Sui.

The curtain was lifted to reveal Lu Jingning's face.

"It's you?!" Zhao Sui sneered, "Why, you're still obsessed with me? Stop talking nonsense. Even if Lang'er wasn't here, I wouldn't want to look at you any more."

Lu Jingning smiled when he heard this: "I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I do want you to know some of the truth, so that you won't be kept in the dark and die with regrets!"

Zhao Sui showed a disdainful look.

Lu Jingning didn't mind and said slowly: "Do you know why I refused to save Mo Yunyao at the Jokhang Temple? Why did I report him to the police and arrest him, and why did I know your plan so well?"

This finally irritated Zhao Sui: "What exactly do you want to say?"
