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

At this moment, a lot of people have gathered.

"What happened? What is the Xi family going to do?"

"I heard that Princess Huayang asked the Empress in the palace to return the things she had sent to her. I guess the Xi family is returning them."

"Can you still take what was sent to you?"

"If it were anyone else, she wouldn't have the face to ask for it, but this is Princess Huayang. She's no ordinary person. Back then, she chased after His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, causing a stir in the city. Now that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin likes the second daughter of the Wen family and has been granted a marriage, the princess is furious and went to the palace to ask for something from the Empress Xi. When she refused, she complained to the Emperor, and the Empress Xi was punished."

"Oh, the princess is indeed domineering."

"I also heard that the princess is using this to threaten the Queen Consort Xi, hoping that Prince Jin will marry her as his principal wife."

"Isn't this impossible? The emperor has already granted him marriage to the Chen family. How can he withdraw his promise?"

"I don't know about others, but if it's Princess Huayang, then it's possible."

"..."

Xu was in the house, so she naturally heard the people's discussions and had already been mocking the princess in her heart.

Kirin Court

Wen Xingchen was in the yard, listening to the maids' reports as the discussions outside grew louder and louder.

They all said bad things about Wen Xingchen.

"Miss, the Xi family is really going too far."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"No hurry, let the fire burn more fiercely."

Yingying knew what her master was going to do, and she thought that the Xi family would be severely slapped in the face soon.

Benben from the outer courtyard said, "Princess, Xu is here."

"Let her in."

When Xu came in, she saw Wen Xingchen half-leaning on the beauty couch. She was so beautiful that even she couldn't take her eyes off her.

What a pity that such a beautiful woman is stupid.

"Princess, someone from the Xi family came and said they want to return the things you gave them. What do you think?"

Wen Xingchen said, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will go and meet the people from the Xi family in person later."

"Princess, will you accept the things the Wen family returns?"

"It depends on whether the Xi family is just pretending or really wants to return it to this princess. If they really want to return it, then even if this princess refuses, they will still do it secretly. Now that they are giving it away openly, I'm afraid they are not sincere in returning it."

Xu: “…”

Since you are not sincere, just refuse it a few more times and the matter will proceed naturally.

Wen Xingchen asked again: "Who is the one who delivered the gift today?"

"He's the steward of the Xi family."

"Just one person in charge, then the Xi family can rest assured."

At this time, Wen Xiaoyin came running over and said anxiously, "Princess, Madam, it's bad, there's a fight outside."

"Who is following whom?"

"It's... the students from Songshan College. They're making a fuss about this."

"What are they making a fuss about?"

Wen Xiaoliu said, "It is said that... this servant doesn't know either. Please go and take a look quickly, but don't let anyone get killed."

Wen Xingchen said: "This princess will go and take a look."

Wen Xingchen went over, but before he even left the house, he heard someone outside say loudly:

"Since ancient times, if the Yi and Xi families parted ways unhappily, they should return the corresponding items. It is only natural that the Xi family should return them."

"What do you mean by right? The princess gave this willingly. How can you take it now?"

"Have you got the princess? As far as we know, this happened because of the princess' birthday yesterday. The West Concubine in the palace felt that there was no possibility for the princess and the Prince of Jin to be together, so she decided to return the items. This is because the West Concubine in the palace knows etiquette."

"It's the Xi family who returned the things with such fanfare. It's really bullying."

"How did the Xi family bully others? It was clearly the princess who asked for it, otherwise how could the Xi Concubine in the palace be demoted? The princess gave me a gift, and it's not right to accept it, and it's not right to refuse it. It's difficult for the Xi family to do this."

"It was the Xi family who bullied the princess first."

"It was the princess who filed the complaint, causing the Empress Xi to be demoted. The Empress Xi did nothing wrong."

"..."

Wen Xingchen looked over not far away. He knew the person arguing with him. He was a student from Songshan College. His name was Qi.

The one who quarreled with him was Wu Yong.

Wen Xingchen was not surprised at all when he heard Wu Yong helping the Wen family in every way.

He is from the Xi family.

Humph

Now he can still take the imperial examination, probably because the Xi family is his guarantor.

Yingying was a little worried when she heard the loud noise outside.

"Princess, can we hold on for a while?"

Wen Xingchen asked, "Have the people I asked you to invite arrived?"

"I'm here, waiting for you to show off your power, Princess."

"Princess Huayang has arrived."

A loud shout instantly quieted the noisy doorway.

Wen Xingchen is a beauty with a graceful figure. With just a little bit of dressing up, she can attract people's attention.

The guy called Lu Qi is still as brave as ever.

He stepped forward and said, "Princess, they said that you asked the Xi family for the gift. Is that true?"

Wen Xingchen pretended to be confused and said, "What are you talking about? Why does this princess not understand? When did this princess ask the Xi family for a gift?"

"The Empress Xi was demoted, but was it because of you?"

Wen Xingchen pondered for a moment, but it was this moment of contemplation that made people think that the princess admitted it.

Wu Yong even boldly asked, "Does the princess admit it?"

Lu Qi asked, "Is this true, Princess?"

Wen Xingchen said, "I don't know if this matter is to be blamed on me or not."

Lu Qi felt that there must be something hidden behind this matter.

"Princess, please tell me what you want. We will definitely support you."

Wen Xingchen looked at the Xi family's housekeeper and asked helplessly, "Housekeeper Xi, this is about Concubine Xi. I wonder if this princess can tell you about it?"

Ximing, who was named, suddenly realized something. He wanted to refuse, but if he refused now, it would be like admitting that there was another hidden reason behind Xi Fei's demotion.

Ximing's hesitation also makes people suspicious.

However, Xingchen did not give him the chance to refuse.

"This matter concerns the privacy of the royal family and the Empress Dowager Xi. This princess shouldn't say too much, but this princess also doesn't want people to misunderstand. After all, this princess feels that the Empress Dowager Xi's demotion has nothing to do with this princess."

"Furthermore, the reason the Western Concubine was demoted was because she deceived the emperor."

"..."

Wen Xingchen looked at Ximing again.

"Manager Xi, this princess has never asked the Xi family to return the gifts. You should carry the things back."

Ximing bowed.

"Princess, the Duke of Zhenguo has ordered that there is no possibility for you and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin. These things should be returned."

Haha, you can return it privately.

But since you have chosen this situation, don't blame me.

"Oh, what if this princess doesn't accept it?"

"Princess, please don't make things difficult for me. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to return and report."

Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Then the princess must accept this?"

"It originally belonged to the princess, so she should accept it."

Wen Xingchen was a little embarrassed, but then said:

"Since that's the case, this princess will naturally not make things difficult for Steward Xi."

"Is the princess willing to accept it?"
