Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

Faced with the mentality of everyone watching the fun and not minding the trouble.

Old Lady Wang and Wang Baobao had no choice but to promise Zhou Mingzhu that they would take Su Shujing back to the Wang family as his wife.

As for the child in Su Shujing's belly, whose is it?

Old Madam Wang couldn't investigate it clearly at the moment.

She had doubts in her mind.

However, in order to appease everyone and Zhou Mingzhu who was crying and making a fuss, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to swallow her anger.

After everyone witnessed Old Madam Wang personally agreeing to the marriage, they left the side hall, talking a lot and feeling unsatisfied.

Old Lady Wang and Wang Baobao looked very ugly.

On their way back to the East Palace, Wang Baobao touched the tip of his nose and said to Old Lady Wang,

"Grandma, do you really want me to marry that Su Shujing?"

Su Shujing has a unique personality. Not only is she ugly and dark-skinned, she is also extremely poor.

Wang Baobao was only slightly interested in Su Shujing at the beginning.

However, after a long time, Wang Baobao took such a woman home as his wife, which inevitably made him feel disgusted.

Old Lady Wang stopped and saw that there were no more officials or noble ladies around.

She turned around, slapped Wang Baobao on the face, and asked with a cold face,

"Tell grandma the truth. Did you touch Su Shujing?"

Wang Baobao covered his face and stopped talking.

Seeing Wang Baobao's silence, Mrs. Wang felt a chill in her heart.

There is no doubt that Wang Baobao must have met Su Shujing.

That's why Zhou Mingzhu was so determined to make a scene and insist on marrying Su Shujing into the Wang family.

Old Lady Wang raised her hand, twisted Wang Baobao's ear, and said angrily,

"You are the only legitimate grandson in our Wang family. Your marriage will play a big role in the future."

"And look at our Wang family. How stretched are we right now?"

"Not only can I ask you to marry Miss Xu and bring back some military power for the family, but you should at least marry a wife from a wealthy family."

"Our whole family is counting on you."

You can't count on Queen Wang.

Emperor Bai Jing was a man who was detached from the world and had nothing to do with the mundane world.

He called himself a Taoist priest, emphasizing a quiet and ascetic life, and did not enjoy wealth and glory at all.

He also hated the people in the harem who enjoyed wealth and glory.

Therefore, Queen Wang's path to power was based on the virtue of frugality.

This is how she won the favor of Emperor Bai Jing, who crowned her as empress.

After becoming the queen, in order to consolidate her position, Queen Wang became more frugal and simple.

No matter whether she is really frugal or just pretending to be frugal.

In short, Queen Wang did not give any money to the Wang family.

The Wang family's abilities are average, and they have no way to gain extra wealth through their own abilities.

Compared to ordinary families, the Wang family is already very wealthy.

But who made the Wang family spend so much?

Every master of the Wang family has a large number of beautiful wives and concubines in his yard, and all of them spend money like water.

Especially Wang Baobao.

A night at a brothel would cost a fortune.

If this wife did not have a family background, she would not be able to support the huge Wang family.

Wang Baobao cried out in pain and said aggrievedly,

"Grandma, of course I know, but look at Su Shujing's mother today. She's just like a shrew."

"You guys even said she was the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital back then, bah."

Old Lady Wang had no choice but to twist Wang Baobao's ear.

On the way to the East Palace, she lowered her voice and said to Wang Baobao with a sinister look on her face,

"Marry her first. As for what will happen in your yard after she's married..."

"That's not something the Su family can control."

When Wang Baobao heard what Old Lady Wang said, he immediately understood.

He smiled and nodded, "Grandma, you still have a good idea."

At this time in the East Palace, the wedding ceremony was about to begin.

The prince was about to take Wang Lanzhi to worship heaven and earth, but for some unknown reason, most of the people who came to attend the wedding banquet in the East Palace ran away.

The prince's face turned pale. After asking someone, he found out that it was his good cousin who had caused him trouble again.

After hastily ending his marriage, he entered the bridal chamber to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

The prince lost his temper at Wang Lanzhi and said:

"What's wrong with you Wang family? Don't you know that Su Shizhi is the talent I want to win over?"

"Why are you still bullying Su Shujing from the Su family?"

Wang Lanzhi had no idea what was going on. Her eyes were full of affection and she was looking forward to a wedding night that would make her blush and her heart beat fast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted her veil, she was scolded by the prince.

Wang Lanzhi immediately knelt on the ground with an ugly face. She said very aggrievedly,

"I will call my disappointing brother into the palace tomorrow and ask him to take responsibility for the girl from the Su family."

The prince finally calmed down his anger and nodded in satisfaction.

"You must give the Su family more betrothal gifts, don't embarrass me."

Wang Lanzhi bit her tongue and kowtowed in thanks.

She didn't know how to tell the prince that the Wang family was now empty-handed.

This time, when the Ten Miles of Red Makeup entered the East Palace, half of the boxes inside were empty.

Those boxes looked big and the line was long, but in reality, they were just storefronts put up by the Wang family to look good.

Now the prince has ordered the Wang family to give more betrothal gifts to the Su family.

Are the Su family worthy of this given their impoverished state?

But Wang Lanzhi didn't dare say it in front of the prince.

She was helped up by the prince, and said with affectionate eyes,

"Your Highness, let's rest early."

The prince was filled with anger, but had no place to vent it.

He hugged Wang Lanzhi and the two of them rolled into the red tent.

The imperial physicians came and went, entering and exiting the side hall.

Zhou Mingzhu held the marriage certificate signed by Wang Baobao and waited happily for Su Shujing to wake up.

Looking at Su Shujing, who was lying on the bed with a pale face and slightly opened eyes.

Zhou Mingzhu didn't even ask her how she was, and directly said to Su Shujing:

"Your marriage has been finalized. It's with the child's father, Wang Baobao. They will send someone to propose in the next few days."

Upon hearing this, Su Shujing, who was weak all over, lost all color on his dark face.

Seeing that there was no one in the side hall, she lowered her voice and said to Zhou Mingzhu,

"Mother, the father of the child in my belly is not Wang Baobao."

Although she had had physical contact with Wang Baobao, that was after they were drunk and had a passionate moment in the starry wilderness.

The baby's month doesn't match the date at all.

When Zhou Mingzhu heard this, she said with an ugly face,

"Then why did you insist that he was the father of the child?"

Su Shujing immediately said,

"I just woke up. I never said anything like that."

Zhou Mingzhu was suddenly struck by lightning.

These words were said by a palace maid who came out of the side hall at that time.

The palace maid told everyone with certainty that Su Shujing had just woken up for a while and said that the child's father was Wang Baobao.

How could there be a palace maid in the palace who would set a trap for others?

Zhou Mingzhu didn't doubt it at all.
