The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much
Chapter 15 Argument
Prince Rui walked out, glanced at the imperial censors, and got directly into the carriage.
Lin Feng was driving the carriage. Seeing that there was no one around, he asked, "Master, how is the matter going?"
"very good!"
When Lord Chu returned home, the sun was already shining brightly.
Just as the Marquis of Pingyang sat down, his wife caught up with him and said, "Master, you're back? Let's go to the Duke's Mansion and settle the score with them. Ask them to give us an explanation."
Lord Chu got a headache when he heard about this. He was scolded by the emperor as soon as he arrived in the imperial study, and he even knelt in front of the imperial study for a long time.
"That's enough. I've completely lost face today. Don't mention this matter again."
Lord Chu felt a buzzing pain in his head, as if there were a few tireless flies trapped inside.
Seeing her master's expression change, the Marquis's wife changed her anxious expression and replaced it with a gentle and considerate one. "I know this matter will definitely bring bad reputation to the master. Xiao'er is at fault in this matter."
"But Master, think about it, Xiao'er was framed by that little bitch Chu Ci. If this kind of thing is delayed for a long time, the impact will be even worse."
"Besides, if Xiao'er marries him and becomes the head of the family, then we'll have the final say in the Duke's Mansion. Not to mention we still have Chu Sheng. He's about to enter the government, and doesn't he want a better career?"
Lord Chu thought for a moment, clenched his fists, unclenched them, clenched them again, and finally decided that his son's career was more important. He nodded and said, "Pack up, and we'll go take a look."
The Marquis's wife returned to her own courtyard, packed up, and followed the Marquis Chu to the Duke of Rong's Mansion.
When they arrived at the Duke of Rong's Mansion, two people got off the carriage and the coachman quickly stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Boom boom boom!
The coachman knocked on the door a few times. The gatekeeper yawned and opened the door from the inside. When he saw that it was Lord Chu and his wife, he thought he had seen them wrong.
Rouzi rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and found that it was really the two of them, so he closed the door.
Lord Chu and his wife were both dumbfounded. They had never been treated like this before.
Seeing this, the driver hurried forward and knocked on the door again, "Open the door, my master is the Marquis of Pingyang, and he wishes to see the Duke of Rong."
I knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response from inside.
Just when the two people's anger reached its peak, the vermilion door opened.
The servant poked his head out and saw Lord Chu and his wife still outside the door. He reluctantly opened the door and said, "It's Lord Chu and his wife. My master invites you in."
Lord Chu was already filled with rage, and after being scolded by the gatekeeper, he was so furious that he was ignited.
When they arrived at the front yard, Duke Rong and his wife were already waiting inside, with the Duke's son sitting below. The three of them didn't look very well.
Lord Chu arrived, glanced at the lady beside him, and stepped forward to salute, "Your humble servant greets the Duke."
Duke Rong remained silent, while his wife lowered her head to study the peony-embroidered handkerchief in her hand, as if there was something unusual on it.
After a cup of tea, Duke Rong seemed to see Lord Chu kneeling on the ground. "Oh, is this Marquis Pingyang? When did you get here? Hurry up and get up. We are all family. Why are you being so polite?"
Duke Rong kept talking, but his face looked very ugly, and he showed no intention of helping anyone.
Duke Rong glanced at the butler next to him and signaled him to go forward and help the man up.
The butler slapped himself softly, "The master has long asked me to support the Marquis of Pingyang. It is my stupidity that I do not understand. Please forgive me, my Lord."
Pingyang Hou nodded grimly, trying his best to suppress his anger, "Butler, you are too kind."
They sat down at the bottom of the table, thought about the purpose of their visit, took a deep breath, and tried their best to suppress their anger.
But when he saw Rong Ziyu sitting opposite him, the anger that had just been suppressed ignited again.
"Zi Yu pays his respects to father and mother." Rong Zi Yu walked up to the two people and bowed perfunctorily. Before Pingyang Marquis and his wife could say anything, he stood up, making the two of them look very ugly.
Pingyang Hou looked at Rong Guogong and asked, "Regarding the matter between Xiao'er and Ziyu, what does Rong Guogong think?"
After hearing what Pingyang Hou said, Rong Guogong's already ugly expression turned even uglier. "Chu Xiao seduced this evil creature into doing such a shameful thing on this wedding day. So many people saw it. So what? Is this something we can even discuss?"
The Duke's wife put down the teacup in her hand and looked directly at the Duke Rong and his wife, "My master is right. If I want to enter the family, I can only be a humble concubine. As for anything else, it is impossible."
When Rong Ziyu heard the title of "humble concubine", he imagined that Chu Xiao had been with him for such a long time. Besides, he was the one who gave her the medicine, and all the mistakes were his own, so he felt a little bit reluctant.
He was just about to stand up and plead with Chu Xiao when Duke Rong shot him a look and Rong Ziyu froze in place.
When Lady Rong saw her master's look, she shook her head at her son, signaling him not to speak.
Pingyang Hou Jianrong Ziyu didn't say anything, but secretly cursed him in his heart as a waste who couldn't even protect his own woman.
He coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention back to him. "Duke Rong, this is simply impossible. You have to understand that Chu Xiao is the second daughter of my Pingyang Marquisate. To be reduced to a lowly concubine in your Duke's Mansion, isn't this a slap in my face?"
Seeing that the Marquis of Pingyang was dissatisfied, the Duke's wife was very unhappy. He was still dissatisfied, and her anger suddenly flared up, "What does your Majesty mean? Betrothed to a wife, and then run away as a concubine, not to mention that so many people saw it. The position of a lowly concubine is already a high platform."
"According to me, you humble concubines are a disgrace to our family."
The Duke's wife's words were so harsh that the Pingyang Marquis' wife was immediately dissatisfied. She stood up, pointed at the Duke's wife and started to retort, "We came here to attend the wedding, but something like this happened in your house. We were drugged, and the person who drugged us was the prince of your Duke's mansion. Now we come here to give an explanation."
The words of the wife of Marquis Pingyang left the Duke of Rong and his wife speechless. What she said was true; they were in the wrong.
But they were extremely unwilling to let Chu Xiao enter the mansion.
Both sides are stuck here, neither willing to do it.
The wife of the Marquis of Pingyang watched anxiously. How could her daughter become a concubine? The Duke's Mansion refused to give in. It seemed that this matter still needed to be handled with Chu Ci.
"Are you sure it has to be this way, Duke?" Pingyang Hou made the final decision.
Duke Rong thought for a moment and gave his final answer, "The highest rank is a concubine. We would never let such a woman run the household."
Pingyang Hou Jianguogongfu was so ungrateful that he slammed his palm on the tea table and said, "Since that's the case, we have nothing to say. Let's go."
