The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 434 The Crown Prince's Concubine Arrives

"How are Sister Qiong and Brother Ji?"

After seeing Duan Jingyi off, Lu and Ding Meishu were on their way back.

"Brother Ji is fine, just some minor injuries. Sister Qiong, on the other hand, has a bloody hole on her head, but luckily it's hidden in her hair, so her face isn't hurt."

Those kids aren't really stupid. They just watch the fight between gods and ghosts to scare people.

In order to make it easier to bandage and apply medicine, a small area on Sister Qiong's forehead was shaved. She had a lot of hair, so it wouldn't be noticeable unless you looked closely.

"The two children have been wronged. Once Kang Ge'er's matter is resolved, I will definitely not let them suffer in vain."

Their Marquis' Mansion cannot afford to offend the Prince's Mansion, but is there no law in this world?

Although this was Ding Meishu's third childbirth, she was still very short-lived and had to be carried back in a sedan chair.

Sister Qiong, who was secretly grieving, really regretted that the stone did not hit the little thing on the head.

Is Big Brother really gone?

Sister Qiong opened her empty eyes and leaned against the bed, looking out the window.

That day they were found and taken back by servants. They thought it would take some effort to escape from their mother's clutches.

Unexpectedly, the first news I heard was that my brother had died in battle.

They heard that the elder brother was very powerful at the border, so they took revenge and killed the elder brother, leaving no trace of his body.

My aunt sent people to the border, saying that they were bringing my eldest brother's soul back home. When those people came back, they would take my eldest brother's armor and bury him in the coffin.

When she thought of these four words, Sister Qiong's tears started to fall.

Why can’t the big brother who would hold her up high in her memory come back?

Before the Duan Marquis's Mansion could start the funeral, the Crown Princess of Cheng came to the Princess of Chun, Shen Shiwei, for help.

"According to seniority, she should have called you aunt, but unfortunately she didn't have that blessing. She left me at such a young age."

The Crown Princess of Prince Cheng cried pitifully.

"I consulted a fortune teller before, and your cousin's horoscope is very compatible with my daughter Dou'er's. If they were still together, it would be a very good marriage."

She wiped her tears and held Shen Shiwei's hand.

"Take this as a plea, sister-in-law. Could you please help me go to the Marquis' Mansion and ask for favors? Dou'er and Duan Chengkang should be married in a ghost marriage, and buried with him in the ancestral tomb. At least she will have incense to offer sacrifices to after her death."

These words fully express a mother's heartfelt love for her daughter.

But how much truth and how much falsehood is there in this love?

Looking at the woman in front of her who was crying uncontrollably, Shen Shiwei sneered in her heart.

If she hadn't sent someone to check, she would have been cheated by this person.

It is true that he is anxious for his daughter, and his horoscope is also true, but a few words are missing.

The son of the Duan family is blessed with fortune and wealth. If the wife is strong, the husband will be weak. If this son is raised, the yin will be strong and nourish the family.

There were many daughters in the world who had no power or influence and died young because they were competing to marry into wealthy families. She didn't believe that she couldn't find one.

He had to cling to her family. He was waiting for her death before the person died. After the person died, he was like a fly that could not be driven away.

"Sister-in-law, if you want to talk about this, please do as you please. I'm sorry I can't accompany you."

Who still has no temper?

Shen Shiwei had a cold face and was about to ask the guests to leave.

"Don't!"

"No, no, listen to me, listen to me first."

The Crown Prince's wife hurriedly pulled her aside, "This is a perfect match. Duan Chengkang doesn't have a wife or children either. Wouldn't it be perfect for the two of them to be together? This is a good thing, so why not?"

Her face was full of anxiety and she held Shen Shiwei's hand tightly.

After hearing her words, Shen Shiwei suddenly pulled her hand away, and out of inertia, the Crown Prince's wife took a few steps back.

Shen Shiwei did not let her go. She walked towards her and forced her to retreat step by step.

"A good thing?! Are you saying that my cousin died in battle for our country, and that being a good match for your daughter's ghost marriage is a good thing?!"

"Why didn't my cousin marry? It's because the border wars have been pressing these past few years, and he has to stay there to protect Da Chu, to protect the people here, and to protect those of you who have lost your conscience and are taking advantage of his death to bully his brothers and sisters."

Her voice was not loud. She was dressed in white, with no makeup on her face. She pressed forward step by step, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

"When my cousin disappeared, you came to our house. Why? Were you really hoping he'd die?"

Looking at the Crown Prince's Consort with an ugly expression, a trace of doubt flashed through Shen Shiwei's mind, and then she buried it deep in her heart.

"Now that he's dead, isn't that just what you wanted?"

"I'm telling you, if you want to arrange a ghost marriage for your daughter, it's up to you, but my cousin will never marry her."

"you you!"

The princess consort of the Crown Prince Nacheng finally revealed her true face, and her face looked hateful with gnashing teeth.

"You don't know what's good for you. You're just like the others, a heartless person, just like them."

After saying this, she left angrily.

Shen Shiwei looked at her back, her eyes full of deep thought.

Naturally, what happened here could not be hidden from Prince Chun, the Queen and Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning liked her daughter-in-law so much that she treated her as her own daughter.

Seeing her being scolded in her own territory, I felt distressed and at the same time thought she was disappointing.

If you are scolded, scold back. If you really can’t, then fight back.

She has her son backing her up, so what is there to be afraid of?

Life is short, so enjoy every day you spend.

As long as His Majesty is not dead, the sister in the harem is the first and she is the second.

With a twist of her waist, Concubine Ning took a handkerchief and went to the Queen to cry.

She is not young anymore, but still has the charm of a middle-aged beauty, especially when she cries, with her eyes lowered and tears falling, it makes people feel distressed just by looking at her.

After coming out of the Queen's Palace, she went to His Majesty.

The Emperor of Chu was much more tolerant of the woman he had doted on all his life than his sons.

As an old man, he was powerless in some things, but as an emperor, it was easy for him to show his other abilities in front of his woman.

As soon as the Crown Princess of Prince Cheng scolded the Crown Princess of Prince Chun, the Queen sent the Palace Madam to lecture and reprimand the Crown Princess, and then the Emperor of Chu sent someone to assign a difficult task to the Crown Princess of Prince Cheng.

Then someone suggested that Prince Cheng was keeping male prostitutes, which was damaging the reputation of the royal family.

Everyone in Prince Cheng's mansion follows suit, and if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beams will be crooked too.

The wife of Prince Cheng didn't care about anything. Ever since Prince Cheng started keeping a male prostitute, she has been locking herself in a small Buddhist temple.

Prince Cheng didn't care about her and just played by himself. His life was extremely decadent.

Before the Marquis' Mansion could take action, someone stepped forward and impeached the steward of Prince Cheng's Mansion for lax education and guilty of child rearing, and for allowing his own children to collaborate with several people in beating up the cousins ​​of the late young general.

It was Prince Chun who took action.

In the end, Prince Cheng was fined three years' salary. As Prince Cheng's wife was not strict in housekeeping, the Queen sent someone to teach her the rules and housekeeping.
