The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

The Peng Qi family was overjoyed after hearing this, and Mrs. Guo hugged her daughter so excitedly that tears came down.

"That's great, Xier. This time you can finally make a name for yourself!"

Peng Xi also wiped away the tears of joy that fell from her eyes: "Yes, mother! We finally got Zixu."

Peng Qi had a blank expression on his face, but he was actually beaming with joy in his heart.

Haha, Zi Ri, ah Zi Ri, I can still become the father-in-law of the emperor even without you.

After Xu'er inherits the title, the position of Prime Minister will definitely belong to me.

Zixuan looked at the family coldly, feeling uncomfortable.

The queen was extremely happy because Peng Qi was a third-rank official in the court and Peng Xi was so beautiful.

This marriage is a perfect match. Xu'er finally has someone he can talk to in private.

Zixu was different. He was very proud in his heart, thinking that his strategy of having the best of both worlds was already half successful.

As for the other half, just wait quietly. Your aunt will definitely talk to your mother.

If my mother is persuaded by my words and takes the initiative to come to me to cancel the engagement, I can just take advantage of the situation and get out of the way...

When Mrs. Peng saw that Zixu personally picked Peng Xi, she thought that this time it was bad.

I should find a suitable opportunity to persuade Zixuan and Xuer and try to break up this marriage.

Peng Qi looked at his aunt's expression and understood about 70% of what was going on.

I should go back and arrange for someone to get rid of her as soon as possible to avoid any further complications and prevent her from ruining this futile marriage.

The next day, after the morning court session, Peng Qi called the driver in and said, "Sun Liu, why haven't you done anything yet?"

Sun Liu grinned helplessly: "Sir, your aunt never leaves the palace, there is no chance."

"Oh, is that so? Then, send a few more people to keep a close eye on her. As soon as she leaves the palace, they should be immediately arrested!"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you last time that you must not let your own people do this."

"After the deed is done, immediately kill that person and don't leave any trace."

After Sun Liu left, Peng Qi murmured to himself: "Aunt, as long as you are alive, your nephew will not feel at ease..."

After breakfast, Zixu prepared to find Ziye to confess his feelings to her.

Listen to what she means and find out whether she likes me or not.

When I arrived at Ziye's residence, I heard from the maid that Ziye had gone to the back garden to relax.

Zixu was delighted. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity to confess his true feelings?

He trotted all the way to the back garden and looked for his sister everywhere.

Finally, he saw Zi Ye sitting on the seat in the pavilion. He walked over quietly, wanting to give his sister a scare to tease her.

As soon as I walked behind Ziye, I heard my sister crying softly.

While crying, she kept talking to herself: "Brother Zixu, why do you like Peng Xi instead of Ye'er?"

"Don't you know that my sister has been fond of you since she was a child, but she just didn't dare to say it."

"Now that you've chosen Peng Xi as your wife, what should Ye'er do? Woo woo woo..."

Zixu was overjoyed when he heard his sister's crying, and immediately rushed over and hugged Ziye.

Ah! Ziye was frightened by the sudden hug and screamed: "Who! Who is hugging me!"

Zixu whispered in his sister's ear: "Ye'er, it's brother, Zixu."

When Zi Ye saw that it was really Zi Xu, she immediately threw herself into his arms, grinning with a look of grievance on her face and started crying.

"Brother Zixu, you are so mean. You actually scared me secretly. Yesterday, you even chose Peng Xi as your wife. I will ignore you. Wuwuwu..."

Zixu said with a wicked smile, "Ye'er, brother is just teasing you."

"Zi Xu didn't know you liked me too, so I accidentally chose Peng Xi yesterday, hehe."

Ziye wiped her tears and said, "So, Brother Zixu is also attracted to Ye'er?"

Zixu held his sister's delicate body on his lap and said lovingly, "Yes, silly girl, brother has liked you since childhood."

"I've had countless sweet dreams, dreaming that you became my wife, hehe."

"You're lying. If you like me, why didn't you tell me earlier? You've made Ye'er feel uneasy all day long."

"I'm sorry, Ye'er. I'm too timid to tell you. I'm afraid you'll scold me."

"I was afraid that if my mother found out, I'd blame her, so I waited until now to tell her."

"Yeah, Ye'er thinks so too. After all, we are brother and sister."

"Although we are not related by blood, we cannot escape the worldly ethics."

"Brother Zixu, what should we do if mother doesn't agree to our marriage?"

Zixu sighed and shook his head: "Alas, I don't know either. Let's take it one step at a time."

Immediately, the two of them became depressed and huddled together with lonely expressions.

In Cui Zhu's mansion in Linzi City, Cui Zhu heard from his servant Dongguo Yan that Tang Gong, the official of Tangyi, had passed away.

Since the two had a good personal relationship, they drove to pay their respects.

When the condolences were over and they were about to leave the mourning hall, they suddenly saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing guard in front of Mr. Tang's coffin.

He wiped his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that the woman was not very old and her appearance and temperament were perfect.

Everyone said that if you want to look pretty in mourning clothes, this mourning dress added a touch of elegance to her face.

Cui Zhu stared with his eyes wide open, and kept swallowing his saliva, fearing that it would flow out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Dongguo Yan was secretly delighted when he saw this, and hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes: "My lord, my lord!"

Cui Zhu finally realized what was going on: "Ah? Ah, Dongguo Yan, let me ask you, do you know who that woman is?"

Cui Zhu pointed at the woman and asked.

Dongguo Yan took a look and said, "My lord, I know her. She is my elder sister, Dongguo Jiang."

Cui Zhu was surprised and scolded: "Dongguo Yan, you have such a beautiful sister at home, why didn't you tell me?"

This, this... I feel that my sister is already married, and I am afraid of polluting your ears, so I cannot tell you, my lord."

"So what if she's already married? This is the type I like. Besides, Lord Tang is dead, so it's just right for me to take care of her."

"How about this, after Lord Tang's funeral, you will bring Jiang'er to my house so that I can take care of her closely."

Dongguo Yan pretended to hesitate for a moment: "My Lord, this... is not a good idea."

"My brother-in-law just passed away, and my sister is already looking for a new lover. If people knew about this, wouldn't they accuse me of being unfaithful to my wife?"

"You will also leave people laughing in the court."

Cui Zhu sneered, "Now I have absolute power in the court. Who dares to laugh at me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just follow my orders!"

Dongguo Yan was overjoyed; this matter was a success!

So, after Tang Gong was buried, he immediately took his sister to Cui Zhu's house.

When Cui Zhu saw the beauty coming, he was overjoyed and said, "My beautiful lady, my young wife, you want to kill me!"

He danced with joy and was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Dongguo Jiang was immediately appointed as his second wife.
