Chapter 146 It Was Not in vain to Kill Him
"Fourth mother-in-law!"
People in the capital city attach great importance to rules and etiquette, and rarely see such a lively and passionate woman. It is like a pond of quiet water full of fine lotus flowers, but suddenly a fresh koi carp rushes in.
Shisiniang was dressed in red, with a white jade gourd ruyi pendant on her waist, a pair of small building scene earrings made of hibiscus stone on her ears, and her long hair combed into a single spiral bun similar to Zhao Fangyu's.
I saw Shisiniang turned over and got off the horse, and the corner of her red skirt spun in the air like scattering flowers, and the flowers bloomed vigorously. The next moment, the corner of her skirt fell down, and the flowers closed again, each with its own posture.
Fourteenth Lady first greeted the eldest lady, Zhao Minshan and others, and then had dinner together in Qingping Courtyard. Then she followed Zhao Fangyu to the Zhanmeilou arranged for her.
"I don't know if your preferences have changed, so it seems that there are still some gaps. If you think there is anything missing, tell me. Unless you want to dig through this yard, I will arrange it for you tonight."
Shisiniang looked around and pointed out several places that needed modification, but they were not major changes, just changing a bottle or adding a small table or something.
The people who served in Zhanmeilu were arranged by the eldest lady, and Shisiniang also brought a few people with her. Now they were all taken down by Chunshao and others to familiarize themselves with the way.
Zhao Fangyu didn't want to poke at Shisiniang's sore spot, but he was really worried. He looked at her a few times without leaving any trace and said, "Speaking of which, I have made a lot of fragrant dew and fragrant pills now. Do you want to pick some to fumigate the house?"
"The fragrant dew is used to fumigate clothes, the fragrant pills and fragrant cakes are used to fumigate the house and dye the yard. I guarantee that even your dreams will be filled with fragrance when you fall asleep."
Shisiniang pinched Zhao Fangyu's face with amusement: "Then I have to take away all the good things here! I don't know where we sold so much perfume and pure water, but it turned out that you made it?"
As Shisiniang spoke, she had something else in her hands, pinching Zhao Fangyu's cheeks like pinching cotton: "No wonder Sister Fangjin likes to pinch you, if it were me I would like it too. Tell me, you looked at me a few times just now, are you afraid that I'm unhappy?"
Zhao Fangyu's face was crumpled into a ball by Shisiniang, squeezed together, and her lips were pouting out due to the flesh of her cheeks. Shisiniang couldn't help but poke her face again when she saw it.
"There's nothing to worry about. You don't know how happy I am right now."
When Zhao Fangyu saw that there was no gloom on Shisiniang's face when she said this, he began to believe it a little bit. He immediately remembered what was said in the letter, that no one in Longxi could cure it.
"Is it fake?"
Shisiniang poked Zhao Fangyu's waist with amusement: "Of course it's true, I was stabbed hard, but I cut it myself. And that lecher, I almost stabbed him to death!"
When Zhao Fangyu heard this, his eyes widened for a moment. At the same time, he felt it was absurd, and the unbelievable guess seemed to be more reliable.
Being pressed down by Shisiniang, Zhao Fangyu raised three fingers with difficulty and winked at Shisiniang briskly.
Shisiniang turned aside, hugged Zhao Fangyu's arm and explained:
"When the Third Prince first arrived in Longxi, he went to visit the Li family. The Li family did not want to get involved in the princes' faction struggle, so only Grandpa met him."
"But he really couldn't bear to give up the Longxi Li family, so he came up with a crooked idea to marry a Li family girl. Maybe he thought that by marrying a Li family girl, he could make the Longxi Li family work for him..."
Fourteenth Lady was extremely disdainful of the Third Prince and did not hide it at all: "He doesn't even think about it. The Li family is a big clan. How many aunts are there in our family alone? If we put the five families together, there will be dozens of people of marriageable age!"
"He wanted the power of the Li family, and he also wanted to sever the Second Prince's relationship with the Li family, so he specifically looked for our branch. He also heard that you and I got along very well in Longxi, so he chose me."
"I am not a mule or a horse in the market, so I can't let him pick and choose. Besides, how can I, a daughter of the Li family, be willing to be a concubine?"
What is a concubine?
According to Daliang laws, a concubine who engages in commercial transactions is no different from a slave if you look closely!
The Third Prince wants the daughter of the Longxi Li family, Shisiniang, to be his concubine...
Absolutely ridiculous!
Fourteenth Lady even dares to kill outsiders. The Third Prince is hitting a wall by provoking her.
Not to mention that the Third Prince already has a principal wife and two concubines, and now he is still making empty promises and swindling the Li family's legitimate daughter away with empty silver notes. Even if he had hysterics, he would not do such a stupid thing.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Fangyu understood.
The Third Prince knew clearly that no matter how well the Second Prince performed, he would never be able to ascend the throne. The remaining Fourth Prince was born with a disability, just like Zhou Qinghe. The younger princes were nothing to be feared. In the eyes of the Third Prince, the position of Crown Prince was probably already in his pocket.
That was why he dared to do such a ridiculous thing as to marry Li's daughter as a concubine.
Shisinian pointed at the wound on her face and said, "I don't want to, and my family doesn't want to either. The Third Prince tried to stop me outside the city several times, and I asked my Seventh Brother to stop him for me. But when he saw that the Li family wouldn't budge, he changed his mind."
"The Sun family held a banquet and invited all the noble ladies from Longxi, saying that they were raising money for winter cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers at the border. Jiu Niang and I went together, and Seventh Brother also accompanied us, but men and women sat separately, which was how they tricked us."
At this point, Shisiniang grabbed Zhao Fangyu's hand a little harder: "Does he think that I, the daughter of the Li family, am some weak woman who wants to die without her chastity and is trapped to death by words?"
"He tried to force me, so I stabbed him but didn't kill him."
"My killing was not in vain. I stabbed him back. The wound was on the face. I would rather go to a nunnery and become a nun than be a concubine!"
"I deliberately didn't treat the injury. He was a prince after all, and the blow I gave him was not light. Afterwards, his family made amends for me, and the matter was put on hold."
Although Shisiniang said it lightly, Zhao Fangyu felt a deep disgust.
"The Third Prince also took a fancy to me at the beginning."
"When I was in front of the emperor, I was still a tea-serving maid. The reason... is the same as yours."
The Third Prince was attracted by her beauty and also wanted the power behind her. Fortunately, the Emperor did not play by the rules, otherwise, with the Third Prince and Zhao Minshan behaving almost identically, she would probably be preparing for pregnancy in the Third Prince's mansion by now.
Shisiniang's expression suddenly changed, and her tone unconsciously rose: "He didn't even let you go?"
"That's right. Even if there's gold buried in dog shit, he'll dig it out while it's hot."
Shisiniang's words were already extremely harsh, and Zhao Fangyu tapped her lightly, signaling her not to say any more.
Shisiniang was so angry that she pounded the bed twice: "Now I'm angry that I didn't hit him hard enough, why didn't I..." Kill that bastard!
At most, I'll lose my life, but I don't want to call you a scoundrel who brings disaster to the world! He only picks on good women to cause trouble!
Perhaps it was because of the bad feng shui of the royal family. First, the eldest prince flirted with Zhao Fangjin in the street, and then the third prince went to the house to ask Li's legitimate daughter to be his concubine. These two princes who were most loved by the emperor were the ones who were the most insignificant.
"Don't worry about it. She's a fine girl. What's the big deal about having a scar on her face? Just get it treated. Don't delay anyone."
