Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 167 The Frustrated Crown Prince’s Wife (8)

Mrs. Chen's people watched helplessly as the girl from the Zhang family walked into the box with her maid. After a while, a well-dressed man and his servants also entered the box. Even though the servant had never seen the second prince and did not know that the man who was having a secret meeting with the girl from the Zhang family was the second prince, he could still realize that there was something seriously wrong with the girl from the Zhang family. If the young master of the Chen family really married a slut, wouldn't the Chen family become a laughing stock?

The person who was following him didn't dare to think any further and quickly ran back to Chen's house to report the news. However, he didn't notice that not far away, a group of people looked at each other shortly after he left, and then all looked towards the window of the box, as if they wanted to do something.

The reason why the daughter of the Zhang family came out this time was naturally to say goodbye to the second prince. She could not resist the pressure from her family and parents and could only hide her love in her heart and marry someone she did not like. When she thought of this, she leaned sadly on the second prince's shoulder and cried, sobbing and saying love words to him that they would never be together in this life.

The second prince looked very sad, but in fact, any sober woman could see that there was not much regret in his eyes, and he even felt alienated from the girl from the Zhang family. He had taken a fancy to the girl from the Zhang family before because he thought that although she was not very smart, she had a good family background. He could get the support of the Zhang family by just making her a concubine, which was pretty good.

But he didn't expect that the princess was trying to arrange a marriage between the Chen and Zhang families. Before he could blame her for ruining his plan, he heard the news that the elders of both families thought the marriage was a good one. So even if he was angry, he had to give up. He couldn't have anything to do with the girl from the Zhang family anymore. Otherwise, he would be slapping the face of the Minister of Revenue, Lord Chen, and offending the Ministry of Revenue, which would be disadvantageous for his plan to seize the position of crown prince in the future.

"We are not destined to be together, Yuanniang. It's all my fault. I was a step slow. If I had gone to your parents quickly and told them that I wanted you, we would not have been separated. It's all my fault. When you marry into the Chen family in the future, just forget me. I will silently bless you." The second prince wiped the tears from the corners of Zhang Yuanniang's eyes and said gently.

Zhang Yuanniang's heart ached when she heard her beloved take all the blame and even promised to bless her. She had never liked Chen Jingchi in the first place. She had met him before, and not only was he not as noble as the Second Prince, but he was also not as humorous and witty. Even though she knew that the Second Prince already had a princess, so what? The Second Prince said he only loved her, so even if she could only become his concubine, it would be better than marrying someone she didn't like.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanniang hugged the Second Prince's waist tightly and cried, "Your Highness, please take me. Then I will be yours, and my parents will no longer force me to marry Chen Jingchi. I can also go to the Second Prince's mansion with you."

If the Second Prince hadn't had some self-control and didn't act so foolishly, he would have seriously wondered if this tactic would work. He only wondered if Zhang Yuanniang was mentally ill. Taking her wouldn't mean marrying into the Zhang family, but rather making enemies, right? And it would also offend the Chen family. Everyone in the capital knew about the possibility of a marriage between the Chen and Zhang families, but he intervened and took the woman who was supposed to be the Zhang family's daughter-in-law as a concubine. Wow, that would be a complete slap in the face of both the Chen and Zhang families, right?

"Yuanniang, don't do this." The second prince grabbed Zhang Yuanniang's hand that was unbuttoning his clothes.

Zhang Yuanniang's maid and the second prince's guards had just stood outside to give the two of them private space to solve the problem, so there were only two of them in the room, and Zhang Yuanniang dared to take off the second prince's clothes without any scruples.

"Yuanniang, calm down. It's impossible for us now. Your innocence cannot be given to me, but to your future husband. I won't tell anyone about what happened today, and we won't meet again in the future." The second prince was afraid that Zhang Yuanniang would continue to pester him, so he pushed her aside and said some harsh words while fixing the clothes that Zhang Yuanniang had untied.

Are you kidding? He must be crazy to want her, okay?

Zhang Yuanniang was pushed away. After hearing the Second Prince's heartbreaking words, she burst into tears. "No, no, Your Highness, I don't want to be separated from you... Even if we can't meet in the future, can't you leave me with a thought of you? If I were to be discovered, I wouldn't tell anyone because I love you."

As she spoke, she began to unbutton her dress.

"Yuanniang, you..." The Second Prince was about to say something when something emitting smoke was thrown in from the window of their room. The smoke quickly spread, choking the Second Prince and Zhang Yuanniang and causing them to cough continuously. Then, someone outside the room shouted that the fire was burning.

The second prince immediately realized that they were being plotted against. Someone would definitely come to their room to check. If they saw Zhang Yuanniang, who was in dishevel, alone with him in a room, the consequences would be disastrous. Without even thinking, he wanted to yell at Zhang Yuanniang to put her clothes on, but the smoke was so thick that he was choked and speechless before he even opened his mouth. Zhang Yuanniang was also choked and had no time to put her clothes on, and was about to run out under the second prince's horrified gaze.

What was even more terrifying was that at this time, the Second Prince's guards and Zhang Yuanniang's maid outside had just seen smoke coming out of the room, so they shouted that there was a fire and then worked together with the people in the inn to carry water. They were so afraid that something would happen to their master that they had no time to think about what would happen to the waiters and guests who were helping to carry water if they saw their master alone, so they pushed open the door and started to pour water inside.

And it was at this moment that Zhang Yuanniang screamed. It turned out that she was drenched in water. It was spring, and Zhang Yuanniang's clothes were already wide open, and now her underwear was wet and stuck to her exquisite figure. All the waiters and guests standing at the door of the box saw it clearly.

The waiter and the guests were all dumbfounded. Some of the shy ones simply turned their heads away, muttering, "Shameless! No manners! Disgraceful!"

Even though Zhang Yuanniang screamed and hid in the maid's arms, someone still recognized her. "Isn't this the Zhang Yuanniang who was going to be engaged to the son of the Minister of Revenue? Why, why is she like this?"

"There's another person inside! It's a man!"

The box was filled with smoke at this moment. Even if the second prince wanted to hide, he was afraid of being choked to death. Driven by the instinct of survival, he ran out. Now, everyone saw that the man who was hanging out with Zhang Yuanniang was not the young master of the Chen family, but another man!

The Second Prince covered his face, which had turned red from the smoke, with his sleeves, not wanting anyone to see what he looked like. He hurried away while shouting at the guards behind him who hadn't reacted, "Hurry up and leave!"

"Yes Yes!"

Zhang Yuanniang was too embarrassed to stay here. With a pale face, she quickly escaped under the cover of her maid. There were only two words in her mind: it's over.

"Second, Second Prince! That's the Second Prince!" After the two left, a man suddenly said, "I won't make a mistake, that man is the Second Prince! I didn't expect Zhang Yuanniang and the Second Prince to have such a relationship!"

"Is that really the Second Prince?"
