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

"Miss Cheng, is there anything else?"

Cheng Yan said shyly, "My Lady, I watched your debate in the teahouse that day. It was very exciting and convincing. I also think that the Crown Princess should be named the Crown Princess since she is the eldest son."

Wen Xingchen raised his eyebrows.

"However, Princess, I still have something I want to tell you."

"You said."

Cheng Yan said, "That Silang of the Chen family has a terrible reputation. I heard that he often visits brothels, keeps an actress as his mistress, and even keeps the actress outside."

"The princess is so outstanding, she shouldn't be paired with a man like Chen Silang. He is not worthy of you."

Wen Xingchen explained, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Cheng, but my reputation isn't very good either."

"The princess is not as unlearned as the rumors say, but rather extremely knowledgeable, which makes people sigh."

"Miss Cheng, this princess is outstanding because she met Chen Silang. He brings me good luck."

Is he bringing good luck to me?

Cheng Yan was speechless.

She leaned forward silently and said, "I will take my leave first."

Furun said: "Wait."

"Does the princess have any other instructions?"

Fu Run pulled out a painting from his sleeve and said, "It's just right. Please help me deliver this to Yang Ling in front of the Administration Hall."

Furun added, "No peeking."

Wen Xingchen said, "That's perfect. You can go with me. It's on our way."

Wen Xingchen probably knew about Furun's move, and wanted to spread the story of Furun and Yang Ling through Cheng Yan.

The two of them had to cross an arch bridge to go to the Administrative Hall. Due to the rain for several consecutive days, the back lake under the arch bridge was full of water.

When Cheng Yan walked up there, she felt a little dizzy, and she pulled Wen Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen saw that she looked a little unhappy, so he helped her up.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay, let's go down quickly. I'm watersick."

Water dizziness?

Wen Xingchen chuckled, and she helped her down the bridge.

"The last time I came here, there wasn't this much water. This time it's been raining for a few days straight. Once the water level goes down, then..."

Wen Xingchen's eyes drifted towards the water level, which was more than ten steps deeper than before, and something suddenly came to his mind.

In the 13th year of Jingtai's reign, there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and millions of people were killed.

Jiangnan?

She remembered that this incident involved many people, including the local governor and other officials, hundreds of people, all of whom were beheaded.

Among them is Chen Jingting’s second brother, Chen Jingyao.

Because Chen Jingyao concealed the truth, rescue efforts were delayed, resulting in countless casualties. Chen Jingxi, a member of the Chen family in the capital, was also implicated and demoted.

After Chen Jingxi's accident, the Xi family became the most powerful family. For a time, the emperor had to appoint Xiao Sheng as the crown prince.

When Wen Xingchen thought of this scene, his legs went weak.

Cheng Yan asked, "Princess, are you also watersick?"

Wen Xingchen shook her head, but she did not explain. Instead, she said to Cheng Yan, "Go through the palace gate in front and walk east, and you will arrive."

"Yes, thank you, Princess."

Wen Xingchen started walking towards Wangyue Tower. Cheng Yan looked back and saw Wen Xingchen's quick steps.

Is Chen Silang good for the princess? It seems so. After the princess got engaged to Chen Silang, her reputation gradually improved.

And what about the King of Jin? Wen Ruyue, who was as gentle as jade as before, became annoying to anyone who came into contact with the King of Jin.

In this way, Chen Silang is still of some use.

Downstairs of Wangyue Tower

When Wen Xingchen passed by, Chen Jingting stood with his hands behind his back. The boy's tall figure was like a tall pine tree that would never be knocked down by wind and rain.

Not long after the incident happened in the Chen family, she heard Xiao Sheng confess after drinking that it was not that Chen Jingyao concealed the incident, but that the report he submitted was suppressed by the Xi family.

The Xi family did it on purpose.

Chen Jingting felt someone coming, and slowly turned around, and saw someone standing in front of a towering poplar tree.

He went down the stairs and walked towards Wen Xingchen.

But the closer I got, the more I realized that Wen Xingchen's face didn't look very good.

"Princess, what happened?"

Wen Xingchen asked him, "Chen Jingting, do you believe me?"

"Princess, I naturally believe you."

He thought the princess was going to ask for more sweet words, and he was about to say a few words when Wen Xingchen suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, "Hurry out of the palace and check if there's any flooding in Jiangnan. Also, have your father check with the Minister of Public Security to see if he suppressed the urgent memorial from Jiangnan, which was sent eight hundred miles away."

"Princess, who told you that this kind of thing is not something to be taken lightly?"

"Chen Jingting, do you believe me?"

He realized that the princess called him Chen Jingting instead of Brother Jingting, which meant that this was not a joke.

"My Lord, I will check right away."

"Chen Jingting, human life is at stake. Whether it exists or not, you must investigate. If it doesn't, that's fine. If it does..."

"My Lord, I understand."

"Chen Jingting, if the Tongzhengshi has been bribed by the Xi family, and if you find out anything, report your father to the court as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed."

"Yes, I will send the princess back first."

"Go quickly."

The Xi family disregarded the safety of the people in Jiangnan and even used the people's danger to set up a plan to overthrow the Chen family. It was simply despicable.

Xicheng, ah Xicheng, just wait, if you dare to make any move this time, this princess will make sure you die miserably.

Chen Jingting left. Along the way, she was wondering how Wen Xingchen knew about the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Who in the harem told him?

King Jin?

If it was the Prince of Jin, then the Minister of Public Administration would have received the memorial, but the exact date of receipt is unknown.

The longer the time goes, the more dangerous Jiangnan will become. By then, it will no longer be a matter of danger to my second brother.

Can the people of the entire Jiangnan region survive to this day?

Thinking of this, he left the palace without stopping.

First he went to the escort agency. He had a friend in the escort agency. That person had traveled all over the country and must know what was happening in each city.

At the Zhenghai Escort Agency, when Chen Jingting arrived, Qiu Yilin was ordering someone to escort the escort. When he saw Chen Jingting coming, he greeted him, "Brother, take care of yourself first. When I'm done, we can go have a drink together."

Chen Jingting said, "Brother Yilin, I came here to ask you something urgent."

Seeing his serious expression, Qiu Yilin did not dare to relax. He ordered someone to keep an eye on him and then invited Chen Jingting into the house.

Chen Jingting walked into the room and asked directly, "Brother, I came here to ask you if you have been to Jiangnan for escort recently?"

Qiu Yilin said, "Things, are you going to take something with you? That's not possible. There's a flood in Jiangnan, and the roads are blocked... But if you really want to send something over, I'll send someone to check it out."

"Flood? Who told you that?"

"A brother just came back from Lincheng. You know, our escort company has spies who are exploring the way. We have already found out where we can go and where we can't go."

"What about the flood in Jiangnan? Is it serious?"

"Hasn't the court received the urgent report yet? My brother and I have met the brother who delivered the urgent report. I heard that the situation is quite serious. There are deaths... We didn't dare to ask for details."

"Are you sure...?"

Qiu Yilin quickly called his brother over and asked him to ask in person.

After receiving the accurate information, Chen Jingting expressed his gratitude and went straight back home.

Chen Xiangfu

After Chen Jingting returned home, he hurried to look for his father and sent someone to call his eldest brother back.
