Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Chapter 181: Shaving the Head (The Princess)

After killing the eldest son of the Zhang family, *** left calmly.

But whether it was the eyes of the young men present at the scene or the people who heard about this incident, they all thought that *** was jealous and killed her husband in anger!

And this is exactly the effect that *** wants. After all, if he is killed for no reason, even my father will have to give an explanation.

But after all, the person killed was the legitimate son of Duke Zhang, so it is impossible that there will be no consequences.

"That guy is... a bit of a jerk, but you can't just kill him!" The emperor said with embarrassment, but his tone couldn't help but reveal his guilty conscience...

"Just a little bit of a bastard? Does your Majesty want me to marry such a person?" Chu Wei knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor questioningly.

"this…"

The emperor was resisting in his heart, but he was also a little ashamed... Men are like this, they can do some things themselves, but when it comes to other men doing it to their daughters, they are unwilling to do it.

"You can come back and tell me that the engagement is cancelled!"

Chu Wei frowned and said, "Father, your marriage is an imperial decree, a golden word, how can you go back on your word?"

The emperor was speechless for a moment...

"Now that things have come to this, do the Zhang family want me to pay for Zhang Shixian's life?" Chu Wei took the initiative to ask the impossible question.

"Nonsense! How can a bastard like me be worthy of my eldest daughter's death?!"

The emperor gave the expected answer. Chu Wei sighed secretly. Her father was incompetent and debauched. He was indeed bad in many ways. But the only good thing about him was that he loved his children... which made her unable to hate him...

Chu Wei asked again: "What does the Zhang family want?"

The emperor was confused again, glancing at his eldest daughter's hair in embarrassment...

Chu Wei thought about it for a moment and understood. She nodded and said, "I will shave my head and apologize to the Zhang family."

"Don't take it too seriously, just cut a few strands to show your appreciation!"

The emperor was still in a dilemma. Deep down he didn't want Chu Wei to suffer, but he had a close relationship with Duke Zhang, and his eldest son died at the hands of his own daughter, so he had to show some attitude.

Regardless of whether it is shaving it all off or cutting off a few strands as a token of appreciation, it is an act of apology, and it certainly cannot be done by just sending the hair over.

It should be carried out at Zhang Shixian's funeral, in the presence of Zhang's family.

The Zhang family might still be dissatisfied, but they could barely swallow their anger. After all, the reason why Zhang Shixian was killed was indeed ignominious, and they could not redress their grievances in a high-profile manner. No matter how they started, they could not let *** be buried with him.

In the Daxia people’s concept, one’s limbs and hair are given by one’s parents, so cutting hair is a very serious matter!

Some people even think that cutting hair is a great shame!

"The Zhang family is a worthless family. Are they worthy of having my granddaughter shave her head and take their place as leaders?!" Su Bushan shouted with his gray hair and beard standing in anger.

The Queen hesitated and said in defense, "But father! The Zhang family has already threatened that if our Su family wants to end the war, we must do this, otherwise we will be irreconcilable from now on..."

"So what if we are irreconcilable?! Who are they? They are just scheming for profit! If his Zhang family can do business, my Su family can't do it?!"

After being furious for a while, Su Bushan lowered his voice and comforted his daughter: "Father has already asked your brother to build a jade platform to collect beauties. I wanted to wait until the training was completed before presenting them, but I will present a batch in advance in the near future!"

"Where his Zhang family can find, my Su family can find. Where his Zhang family can't reach, the Su family can also find! The beauties that can be presented will only be more, not less! I will not let the emperor only listen to the Zhang family's ears!"

The queen was relieved then. As long as her position as queen and crown prince remained unchanged, she was willing to protect her own daughter.

Su Bushan turned around and comforted his granddaughter softly: "Don't be afraid, as long as Grandpa is here, no one will touch a hair on your head."

*** didn't know how to start the conversation, she didn't mind cutting her hair...

But her body and hair were given to her by her parents, and facing the protection of her elders, she could only show a forced smile. Both elders thought she was still afraid...

But she didn't know that there was a voice deep in her heart telling her that her surname was Chu, not Su.

At the funeral of Zhang Shixian, only a lock of hair said to be cut off by the princess was given. The princess herself was not present. The palace servant who delivered the hair only said: "The princess is deeply saddened and is ill in bed."

The Zhang family naturally could not be satisfied with such a perfunctory attitude, and they also knew that the emperor was easily influenced, so it must be the Su family who was interfering!

The revenge for the murder of the son was directed at the Su family!

But the Su family was not afraid. No matter how rich the Zhang family was, they could not threaten the Su family, which held a large number of troops! The two families began to confront each other in everything from the court to various industries!

The original intention to unite ended the moment Chu Wei killed Zhang Shixian.

Due to the deep blood feud, even if the Zhang family apologized sincerely, it would be impossible for them to be on the same side with the Su family again. This is also the main reason why the Su family simply acted arrogantly.

Time flies.

Five years later, *** is already over twenty years old, but still waiting to be married in the palace.

Regardless of whether *** had a reason to kill her fiancé, murdering her husband is an appalling act!

From that time on, all the great families in the capital city avoided the young lady! After all, only the legitimate son was worthy of marrying the young lady, but what if the young lady encountered something and became jealous? !

But at the same time, various noble families also began to strictly discipline their own children, especially those young men who had fun on the pleasure boats. They were admonished by family rules so that they dared not set foot in the brothels again!

She has not married yet, but she is not in a hurry. Even if she never gets married and lives in the palace forever, what's wrong with that?

On the contrary, perhaps my father felt guilty, and after that, his licentious behavior was restrained.

Chu Wei was very glad that she had stabbed out with that sword!

But she was not in a hurry. The elders were, especially the queen. In Daxia, if a woman could not get married, it would be a shame for her mother!

"You must arrange your marriage this year!" the queen said seriously with a frown.

"It's my parents' will. My mother has the final say on who to marry." Chu Wei responded calmly.

The queen was even angrier. After what happened, she couldn't force a wealthy family to marry her daughter, but if she married someone from a poor family, it would also bring shame to her!

"Just choose one for yourself and ask your father to arrange a marriage for you!" It is reasonable to let the emperor do such a difficult task.

"I don't want to choose from among these playboys in the capital," Chu Wei said bluntly.

However, the queen was determined to marry her daughter off, and she said sternly, "If you don't choose, don't blame your mother for marrying you to the rude general under your grandfather!"

Chu Wei's heart was moved. In the past five years, the prince has not made any progress. He has only changed from cricket fighting to horse racing...

Over the years, an idea has been lingering in my mind. It is true that she is a woman, but there are precedents of female emperors in history... Her surname is Chu, and she is the eldest and the legitimate wife. Isn't she more legitimate than Empress Wu in history?

If you can command a large number of troops, others will be powerless to stop you even if they oppose you!

"I would rather choose a reckless husband than these wretched men in the capital, but I want to choose it myself."
