Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

Wen Xingchen frowned slightly after hearing the barrage of accusations.

What happened today was clearly not her fault.

But Wen Ruyue would cry.

It was a long time before she realized that children who cry are loved.

Who doesn’t cry?

Wen Xingchen pinched himself hard with the hand hidden in his sleeve, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Father, haven't you heard? My second sister is wearing the phoenix hairpin given by the Prince of Jin and is the center of attention in the Zhenguo Mansion. And my daughter is being talked about, saying that she was abandoned by the Prince of Jin. In such a situation, how can my daughter stay in the Zhenguo Mansion and be bullied?"

It was also the first time that Wen Changsheng saw his eldest daughter cry, and he was stunned for a moment.

My daughter was already beautiful, and now she was covering her face and crying, looking even more aggrieved.

The tone of his question suddenly slowed down a little.

"Xingchen, that phoenix hairpin was given to you by His Royal Highness Prince Jin."

What does this mean? Could it be that he wants me to break off the engagement and marry the Prince of Jin?

It's just a fool's errand.

Wen Xingchen sniffed, blinked his eyes and looked at him and said:

"Father, do you believe it?"

Wen Changsheng: “…”

"Anyway, I don't believe it. He first gave the phoenix hairpin to my second sister, and then denied it. This is clearly a mockery of my second sister. It's simply abominable. Father, you can't let him go. Go to the court tomorrow to impeach him."

"Impeach him? Wouldn't that offend people?"

Don't want to offend anyone?

"What should we do then? Let Second Sister swallow this anger?"

Wen Changsheng said, "There is a compromise now."

"what?"

"Tell others that you gave the phoenix hairpin to your younger sister. Only in this way can you save your second sister's reputation."

Wen Xingchen was so angry that he almost laughed after hearing this.

"Okay."

"You do."

Wen Xingchen said indifferently:

"Yes, I will. I will have Yingying go out and tell everyone with drums and gongs that the Phoenix Hairpin was given to me by His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, but I didn't want it and gave it to my sister instead. After all, I have an engagement, so it's not easy for me to accept the Phoenix Hairpin from His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin."

After hearing what the princess said, Xu became a little anxious.

"Master, it's useless for the princess to say this. It depends on what His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin thinks." In front of everyone, the Prince of Jin denied the matter.

This is a slap in the face of the Wen family.

Wen Changsheng looked at Wen Xingchen again.

"Xingchen, you are familiar with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, why don't you go and persuade His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"

"I'll go and persuade her? Will Second Sister agree?"

Wen Xingchen's gaze fell on Wen Ruyue, who avoided her gaze, lowered her brows and pretended to be aggrieved.

Feeling wronged?

Wen Xingchen felt stupid. What was a phoenix hairpin? She put it on her head before she was sure the man would marry her.

What do you want to do? Force His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?

If she had this idea, she would have miscalculated.

It would be fine if Prince Jin liked her, but Prince Jin not only disliked her.

Poor thing, she actually wants to compete with King Jin?

Wen Xingchen was a little tired, so she said, "Father, you two can discuss it. Just let me know what you want me to do."

"However, I still hope that my father can go to court to impeach him. This is the most effective way to force him to marry my second sister."

After Wen Xingchen finished speaking, he took his leave.

But before he could walk back to his yard, he heard the voice of "Big Sister".

Wen Ruyue caught up with him.

"Sister, when you just told father about impeaching His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, were you trying to force the Wen family to break off relations with the Prince of Jin? Are you seeking revenge against His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

revenge?

"Why should I take revenge on him?"

"Because he won't marry you."

"Not marrying me? But he gave me the Phoenix Hairpin, didn't he?"

"..."

"Wen Ruyue, it's not that he doesn't want to marry me, but I, Wen Xingchen, don't want him anymore. You see, he got anxious the moment I got engaged. He gave me the phoenix hairpin to express his feelings to me."

"What a pity. I don't want it now. No matter how good the phoenix hairpin is, it can't compare to the one given by my beloved."

As he spoke, he looked down at the Dzi beads on his wrist, and his mood improved a little.

She polished the Dzi beads on her wrist and continued, "I have to thank my second sister for her plan. Otherwise, how could I have met such a good man?"

"..."

Wen Xingchen didn't bother her anymore, leaving Wen Ruyue disheveled in the wind.

Seeing her daughter trembling with anger, the maid Yun Duo tried to persuade her, "My daughter, the princess is just sour grapes. If His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin liked her, he would have married her long ago. When you marry the Prince of Jin one day, you will be the Princess of Jin, and she will be nothing more than the fourth daughter-in-law of the Chen family."

After hearing this, Wen Ruyue's anger dissipated a little.

"Let's go back and have Dad impeach His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin tomorrow. If he doesn't want to marry me, I'll force him to marry me."

The next morning, Wen Changsheng filed a petition to sue His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

The emperor was naturally angry. He had finally found a fault with his son and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. How could he not get angry?

He beat Prince Jin with twenty boards and then issued an imperial decree to grant the marriage to Wen Ruyue as his concubine.

She is a concubine.

After all, a woman who has an affair with a man can never become the queen.

When the imperial edict arrived, Wen Xingchen went with everyone to receive it. When she heard that it was from a concubine, she glanced sideways at Wen Ruyue. She was respectful and gentle, but her straight back indicated her dissatisfaction.

Wen Xingchen was watching when he heard Xuanzhi's eunuch say, "Princess Huayang, the emperor has ordered me to take you to the palace."

"What did the Emperor say?"

"The Emperor said that you haven't been to the palace for a few days and he missed you."

Wen Xingchen: "Oh, okay."

Wen Xingchen went back to change his clothes and went into the palace.

Outside the Imperial Study Room

Wen Xingchen looked around but didn't see Chen Jingting. Was he having a day off again today?

Yang Ling on the other side said, "Princess Huayang, Chen Silang has been ordered to leave."

Wen Xingchen nodded.

"Thanks."

Wen Xingchen then listened to the announcement and entered the imperial study.

"Xingchen pays his respects to the Emperor's uncle and wishes him a long life."

"Xingchen, when did you start saying these empty words?"

"Your Majesty, Uncle, Xingchen is not seeing that you are in a bad mood, so she is pretending to be obedient and clever, so as to avoid your anger and harming Xingchen."

The emperor was so angry that he laughed.

Today in the court, the Wen family impeached, although they wanted to seek justice for their daughter.

But when he thought about it carefully, he found it unbelievable.

He didn't like the Second Miss Wen, but he gave her a phoenix-head hairpin? No, he wasn't interested in the Second Miss Wen, he was interested in Wen Xingchen.

He has been deceived by him all these years.

The eldest brother has evil ambitions and dares to use the stars to covet the throne.

I'm not dead yet.

But how much does Xingchen know about this matter?

"You're just blaming me. If you come forward, I won't harm you."

Wen Xingchen stood up, tiptoed up her skirt, and walked towards the imperial desk.

Emperor Jingtai looked exhausted, as what happened today had given him a warning.

"Uncle, what instructions do you have for Xingchen? Has Xingchen done anything bad recently?"

"I heard that Xiao Sheng harassed you yesterday?"

Wen Xingchen shook his head.

"Ah? No."

"I heard he gave you a phoenix hairpin?"

Wen Xingchen quickly shook his head.

"Your Majesty, uncle, please don't say that. I belong to Brother Jingting now."

Judging from her tone, she seemed unaware of Xiao Sheng's conspiracy.

The stars are simple and must be ignorant.

"Before, you were clamoring to marry the Prince of Jin, but now you've completely given up on the idea?"
