Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Chapter 171 Choosing Him as Son-in-law

Princess Roujia expressed her feelings to Chu Yuncang in public, and her words became more and more outrageous.

The eldest princess was so angry that her face turned blue. She quickly ran into the room and ordered her maid to knock Princess Roujia unconscious, thus stopping this ridiculous farce.

But suddenly, Chu Yuncang's cold voice rang out from outside the door: "Everyone, every family has its own rules, and every country has its own laws. The eldest princess's attempt to murder Fu'an is not only a family affair of the Chu family, but also a national affair of Dongling. Thank you all for staying as witnesses. I will immediately go to the palace to report this matter to my father!"

Then he ordered coldly: "Take it away!"

Take him away? Take Liang Yanqi away?!

The eldest princess turned pale with shock. She had never in her life experienced such a situation where one problem arose only to have another pop up. She was completely panicked and tried hard to think, but her mind was blank and she couldn't think of anything.

"No, Your Highness, please don't arrest me. I know nothing!" The shadow guard who came outside the door and received the order held up Liang Yanqi, and Liang Yanqi begged bitterly.

The princess no longer had time to think about any countermeasures. She couldn't let Chu Yuncang take Liang Yanqi away today!

She rushed out, stretched out her arms to block Chu Yuncang and the others, and said in a soft voice, "Cang'er, don't go. Auntie just said those angry words because she was worried about Roujia. Don't take it seriously, Cang'er!"

Her originally neatly combed bun was now askew, with a strand of hair hanging down from her temple, looking messy and dejected, completely different from her usual arrogant look.

She paused slightly and continued in a low voice, "Cang'er and Fu'an were both raised by your aunt. You are like your own children. How could your aunt hurt her own children? Cang'er must have heard some false rumors."

Chu Yuncang's expression remained unchanged, not moved at all by the princess' words. Instead, he said coldly, "Whether it's a false rumor or not, I can interrogate Liang Yanqi. He was involved in these two incidents and I think he knows the most about it!"

The princess's head buzzed, and her thoughts completely stopped at this moment. She blurted out, "No, you can't take him away!"

Chu Yuncang's face was cold and he asked calmly, "Why?"

Why? The princess closed her eyes, suppressing the raging rage in her chest. She whispered, "Roujia and him are in love, and I've already chosen him as my son-in-law. Now he's half part of the Princess's mansion. As the Princess, I certainly won't stand by and watch my family get bullied!"

Under the restraint of two strong and powerful shadow guards, Liang Yanqi had already calmed down and stopped struggling, but when he heard that the eldest princess actually agreed to his relationship with Princess Roujia, a brilliant smile suddenly bloomed on his sallow face, as if an electric current spread throughout his body, and every cell was cheering.

Chu Yuncang remained unmoved and said coldly, "Just now she said that she treated me and Fu'an as her own children, but now she treats the people who hurt Fu'an as her family. It seems that the so-called family of the princess is nothing but this, not worth mentioning!"

"So, I must take Liang Yanqi away today!"

Chu Yuncang continued to move forward with several shadow guards, but all the guards of Juyuan had gathered around the eldest princess and surrounded Chu Yuncang and others.

The eldest princess finally felt confident. She had nearly a thousand people on her side, but Chu Yuncang brought two weak women, Xie Qingli and Fu'an, with only three or four guards. They were definitely no match for them!

She looked at Chu Yuncang with a rather proud look and said calmly, "Cang'er, your aunt advises you to let Liang Yanqi go, otherwise you will never be able to leave this Chrysanthemum Garden safely today."

Chu Yuncang frowned slightly and thought for a few breaths before making a gesture to the shadow guards behind him. The two shadow guards reached out and let go of Liang Yanqi at the same time.

Juyuan's guards automatically made way for them, and Chu Yuncang and the others left angrily.

The princess ordered Liang Yanqi to be sent to the dungeon in Juyuan and kept under strict guard, and then dismissed all the guards.

Although the immediate crisis was temporarily resolved, Chu Yuncang would certainly go to Emperor Yingtian. How would she respond then? But after thinking for a while, she panicked and couldn't figure out what to do next.

Just at this moment, Princess Roujia woke up. She cried and wanted to chase Chu Yuncang. The eldest princess was so angry that she slapped her twice, ordered people to lock her in the room, and then quickly walked out of the room.

Today's developments had seriously deviated from their plan and had become a mess. She was a little at a loss and suddenly thought of the Princess Zhong who had gone to rest due to a headache. Although the Princess Zhong was soft-hearted and had no opinions of her own, she really didn't know who she could rely on.

The eldest princess quickly went to the warm room where Prince Zhong's wife was resting.

On the carriage speeding back to the capital, Xie Qingli suddenly said in confusion, "Your Highness, I don't understand why you are acting like this. This will definitely force her to kill someone! Is Your Highness doing this on purpose? But without a witness, what good will it do us?"

Chu Yuncang nodded slightly and said softly, "If this matter is brought to the attention of the Emperor, he will only smooth things over and punish them lightly, but he won't be able to hurt her bones."

"She's connected to many people like the Marquis of Guangping, secretly supporting my third brother behind the scenes. But if she were to act out of self-preservation, it would surely chill the hearts of those people. The rabbit's death would cause grief to the fox, and who would still trust her so wholeheartedly?"

Xie Qingli's eyes sparkled with light, and she exclaimed in admiration, "Your Highness has a good plan. A thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by an ant hole. Even the strongest alliance will crumble if people's hearts are scattered!"

Chu Yuncang looked at Xie Qingli softly and curled the corners of his lips.

Princess Fu'an sat in the corner of the carriage without saying a word. She had no idea what the two were talking about and felt like a fool.

She felt a little envious and a little bitter. She and Master Xiao Xie had never exchanged more than ten sentences, and that was when she was young. She and Master Xiao Xie would never be able to communicate so tacitly in their entire lives!

Princess Fu'an turned her gaze to Chu Yuncang. In her memory, her royal brother had always been cold, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. She didn't expect that he had such a relaxed and warm side. She was a little happy for Chu Yuncang.

……

At the gate of Juyuan, groups of guests left in carriages.

Xie Qingyao stood at the door with Xiaotao, feeling confused and angry. Both carriages from the Marquis' Mansion had left. It must be Xie Qingqi who was causing trouble! She was filled with hatred, but the most important thing at the moment was how to get back to Shengjing City.

When the guests' carriages passed by Xie Qingyao, they saw that it was the controversial fake daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and they were so afraid to avoid her that they all got into their carriages and left quickly.

The last to leave were the luxurious carriages of several princes.

"Bang~" The gate of Juyuan behind them closed quickly with a loud noise, which scared Xie Qingyao and Xiaotao.

Just as the two were in a state of panic, the prince's carriage, which had just run away, turned back. The guard beside the carriage quickly ran up to Xie Qingyao and said in a cold voice: "Second Miss Xie, my prince asks you to get in the carriage!"

Xie Qingyao was startled. She didn't know which prince's carriage this was, but now she had no other way to retreat. So she gritted her teeth and stepped into the carriage...
