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

The next day, the King of Han went to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to see Wen Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen welcomed the guests into the main hall and served them tea.

The King of Han wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, he saw Wen Xingchen's tears streaming down her face. She looked exactly like her elder sister.

But my eldest sister won’t cry.

"Xingchen, I'm your uncle."

"Uncle, my cousin is bullying me. You have to stand up for Xingchen."

"Xingchen, didn't he bully you?"

"Under public scrutiny, my cousin can't deny it. Xingchen already has a bad reputation, and now the Chen family finally has someone willing to marry her, but now my cousin is playing tricks on her. What if she wants to break off the engagement? If Xingchen can't marry into the Chen family, is my cousin Xiao Qi willing to marry me?"

Xiao Qi will marry you?

Don’t worry, the Prince of Han’s Palace can’t afford to support a big Buddha like you.

"Uncle, you must be willing, right?"

"Uncle, of course... of course... it's... Xingchen. The imperial decree has been issued. The Chen family dares not refuse to marry you. Don't worry. How could you cousins ​​just play a joke and be misunderstood?"

"Is he joking? But so many people saw it, he wasn't joking. He just pounced on me..."

Ah ah ah

You little bastard, just wait for me.

The King of Han left because he was frightened.

Soon after, the Prince of Han's Palace dealt with his concubine and dismissed Xu Hanqing's petition.

Wen Xingchen asked someone to notify Xu Datou to go to the princess's mansion to pick up the person.

After a few days of recuperation, Xu Hanqing was able to walk again.

It just needs some recuperation.

Inside the princess's residence, Xu Datou's eyes welled up when he saw his son alive and well. He knelt before Wen Xingchen and said, "I, Xu Datou, kowtow to thank the princess for her great kindness."

"Xu Datou, although the King of Han made a fuss about your son's matter, it was also because your son did not know how to avoid suspicion."

"Yes, I will strictly discipline him when I return."

"Well, the Dali Temple has returned the money. This princess will go to the palace tomorrow to ask for some rewards for you."

"I dare not do this. I just want my son to be safe. I..."

"Xu Datou, you took a risk for your son and even lost everything. This move touched this princess. This princess admires you. How about this: when you do business in the future, you can do it under the banner of this princess. In this way, this princess will be your backer. But you must do business properly and not break the law."

Xu Datou didn't expect that the princess would give him such a great favor.

He was moved to tears and said, "Xu will be at the princess's beck and call from now on."

"Okay, you can take them back. Yingying, you can send them off yourself."

"Yes, I will definitely get it done."

The next day, Wen Xingchen entered the palace with 400,000 taels of silver notes. When the emperor was free, he handed the notes over.

The emperor asked in confusion, "Are you selling things again?"

"This time it's not like that. This is because a merchant has gone bankrupt to support the court and the emperor's uncle, and he has come up with so much money at once."

"kindness?"

"This matter was spearheaded by Liu Yan, the Minister of Justice. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

"Xingchen, how about this? Ask him for me what he wants?"

"Uncle, if you have some free time, why not write a few words with your imperial brush? Xingchen will make a plaque for you and send it directly to you."

"What business are they in?"

"It should be clothing."

It was a harmless matter, but the emperor personally wrote the four big words "Hongxiu Tianxiang Pavilion".

Wen Xingchen pointed to the big seal next to him.

"Xingchen, it's over."

"Your Majesty, with four hundred thousand taels of silver, how much food can we buy and how many refugees can we save..."

The emperor was too soft-hearted and finally stamped his own private seal on it.

Wen Xingchen took the things and left.

The emperor looked at the banknotes and couldn't help but sigh: "Xingchen, this girl, has been taught badly by me. She doesn't even know how to keep her money."

Eunuch Hu said, "Your Majesty, the princess is so focused on relieving your majesty's worries that she probably didn't think of hiding anything."

"I know." The girl was very kind.

Is it just the Dali Temple that is acting as a matchmaker?

The emperor needs to understand this matter in detail.

When Furun came over, the emperor gave her instructions without even looking up.

"Father, I know about this matter."

Hearing Furun's voice, he raised his head, and seeing Furun's clothes, he frowned slightly.

But nothing was said.

"It was corruption at the Dali Temple, and Xingchen discovered it, so they had to cough it up. They euphemistically called it a donation from the Xu family..."

The emperor was shocked.

"So what is this silver?"

"The son of the Xu family was falsely accused of molesting a concubine in the Han Palace and was imprisoned in the Dali Temple. This money was used to manage the expenses of the Dali Temple. Moreover, if Xingchen had not stepped in, they would have taken the money but not done anything."

The emperor was furious and said, "Go, arrest Liu Yan from the Dali Temple and put him in jail. I want to see if anyone is arguing with him."

"Yes, I will go right away."

Wen Xingchen had the emperor's calligraphy written on a plaque, and sent it to the Xu family with fanfare. He also spread the word that the Xu family had donated millions, and the emperor praised them and specially bestowed the plaque upon them.

When Xu Datou heard the news, he almost fainted.

So happy.

If he gets this plaque, he will not only make a fortune every day, but also his Xu family will definitely be able to join the ranks of those who can afford a down payment within three years.

Xu Datou took the plaque, placed it on display, and then went to the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion to kowtow to the princess.

This was a blessing in disguise for him.

He decided that he must hold on to the princess in the future.

When Xu Datou went to ask Xie En, Wen Xingchen had already asked someone to wait for him at the gate, and he was invited in directly.

When he saw the princess, Xu Datou knelt down and kowtowed, weeping bitterly, "Princess, I thank you so much for protecting me. If I earn ten taels of silver in my lifetime, I will give seven to you."

Wen Xingchen said: "This princess does not want your silver."

"..."

"When you return, someone will undoubtedly ask you how much silver you donated to receive such a generous reward. How about you keep quiet? Or perhaps you could just tell them subtly that you donated several million taels of silver?"

Xu Datou didn't understand:

"Princess? What do you mean?"

Wen Xingchen explained, "The disaster in Jiangnan is severe. The silver you and I have accumulated is not enough to alleviate it, so we need more silver. Jiangnan is located in the most important area and is the main source of tax revenue for Daliang every year."

"So this disaster relief must be handled properly, otherwise Daliang will be in a slump for three years, the people will suffer terribly, and merchants will have a harder time doing business."

Xu Datou knew this.

But he had another concern, so he said bluntly: "If they donate more than ordinary people, then this plaque will be given to them."

"No. The plaque will only go to the whistleblower."

After receiving the princess's affirmative answer, Xu Datou said, "Don't worry, princess. I will definitely make this matter beautiful for you."

"Well, let's go."
