The days of the Prince’s Palace in recent years have not been as beautiful as they appear on the surface. Even before, the expenses in the Palace were very tight, but at that time there was still the dowry of the former princess. Since Zhaoyang’s marriage took away a large part of the Dowry, the life of the county prince's mansion is getting worse day by day.
The concubine Ji couldn't figure out why the previous concubine was willing to give all the dowry to Zhaoyang, and there was not much left for her son, otherwise their county palace would not be living such a life now. The most hateful thing is that when Zhaoyang got married, She actually sold most of the real estate for silver and took it away. The few priceless houses left behind were guarded by the dowry servants given to her by the former princess. Even if she wanted to, she couldn't do anything about it.
Two days ago, I heard that Zhaoyang was back, and she asked people to inquire and found out that this girl has become a widow. This is exactly what she wants to do. Bring Zhaoyang back to the county palace, and let Zhaoyang take away the dowry she had taken away before. If you hand them over, the county palace will not suffer at all.
However, this girl looks more indifferent and ruthless than before, I don't know if she can control her.
"Where did you come from, you smelly girl? Is it your turn to intervene in the matter of our county prince's mansion?" Princess Ji saw the prince of Chuyang staring at Ye Zhen, and a surge of anger surged in her heart, thinking that Chu Yang The county king has taken a fancy to Ye Zhen.
"I'm an outsider, so you think you're not outsiders?" Ye Zhen glanced lightly at the second princess. Before this woman became the second princess, she heard that she was very gentle and elegant. With a sinister mind, he tried his best to become the queen concubine before revealing his true colors. Zhaoyang will be sent to Beiming Kingdom for marriage, and the concubine successor's contribution is indispensable during this process.
"Zhaoyang is the princess of the county prince's mansion, how can we be outsiders?" Princess Ji didn't want to tear herself apart from Zhaoyang, she looked at Zhaoyang softly, "Zhaoyang, we are all for your own good, you are alone It's inconvenient to live outside, and it's easy to cause disputes. With your elder brother and I at home, others dare not bully you."
"Haven't you always been the ones who bullied me? What did you say when you coaxed me to go to Beiming Kingdom to get married? If I don't agree, you all have to sever ties with me, so that I can't step into the county palace for the rest of my life. I agreed, but it has nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion. You don't have to expect me to go back to support the Prince's Mansion. If you think I haven't said clearly enough, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the Emperor to cut me off completely. The relationship with the county prince's mansion." Zhaoyang said coldly.
Chu Yang frowned and said, "Zhaoyang, you and I are brothers and sisters after all, why did you do this!"
Zhaoyang said impatiently, "Don't be a brother and sister with me, I don't have a big brother like you who betrays his sister."
"You..." Chu Yang was furious when he heard the words, but he didn't dare to do anything with Zhao Yang.
Ye Zhen looked at Chu Yang with a smile on the side, "The King of Chu Yang is really filial, he cares more about his stepmother than his own sister."
I don't know what Ye Zhen's words mean to poke Princess Zhongji, her cheeks flushed with anger, and she glared at Ye Zhen fiercely, "Bitch, what are you talking about?"
Chu Yang was so frightened that he almost knelt down and yelled at the second princess, "Shut up! Do you know who she is?"
Concubine Ji was taken aback by the yelling, probably because she didn't expect Chu Yang to dare to yell at her like that. She looked dumbfounded, and after a while she cried out with a pale face, "What kind of person is she? Did you see her?" Are you soft-hearted when you look good?"
"Shut up!" Chu Yang was furious, "She is Lu Yaoyao, the future empress."
"What?" Concubine Ji was stunned, she glanced at Ye Zhen in horror, this person is Lu Yaoyao who has been widely rumored in the capital
Zhao Yang knew that Chu Yang had met Ye Zhen, and was afraid that he would see the clue, so he said impatiently, "Do you have anything else to say? If you have something to say, finish it quickly. If you don't, please, I won't send it away."
Chu Yang looked at his sister, "Zhaoyang!"
"My words should be very clear, there is no need to say more." Zhaoyang said expressionlessly.
Princess Ji said with a cold face, "Since you don't know good from bad, let's go as you please."
"Zhaoyang, no matter what time it is, elder brother still hopes that you can return to the county palace." Chu Yang looked at Zhaoyang and said in a low voice.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhaoyang's mouth.
Princess Ji didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Zhen anymore, she just gave Zhaoyang a disgusted look, and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Ye Zhen looked at their backs, walked to Zhaoyang and whispered, "Did you see it?"
"What?" Zhaoyang asked in bewilderment, what did she see
"Don't you think the relationship between the step-mother and the county king is very strange?" Although they are not the biological mother and son, the relationship between the two is too strange. If they are said to be step-mother and son, those who don't know think they are husband and wife.
Zhao Yang didn't realize it at first, but when Ye Zhen reminded her, she remembered that Chu Yang had yelled at the step-by-step concubine just now, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "In the past, step-by-step princess often went to the palace, and Chu Yang treated her very well, but... Impossible, it's too shocking!"
"I didn't say anything, anyway, only they know what's going on." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Actually, it's not impossible. My elder brother can even betray his own sister. What else can't be done?" Zhaoyang said sarcastically.
Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "If you remarry in the future, they shouldn't stop you, right?"
"It has nothing to do with them anymore, so why should they stop it?" Zhaoyang said flatly, "Remarrying is my own business."
"That's great, but with their virtue, they will definitely intervene in the future, you have to have a countermeasure to deal with it." Ye Zhen said.
Zhaoyang laughed at himself, "If I don't have any money on me, they might think they don't know I'm in the capital."
"I remember that this queen concubine is still a relative of your mother?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Hmph, the cousin of my mother's natal family, she came to seek refuge because her family was ruined and had nowhere to go. My mother raised a white-eyed wolf." Zhaoyang said coldly.
Ye Zhen said, "I have inquired that the life of the Prince's Mansion has not been very good these past few years. Your eldest brother is working as a job, and the salary is not high, not to mention the money. Before, I came to see you today, probably not for you, but for your dowry."
Zhaoyang smiled indifferently, "I knew it earlier."
"Do you want to find some guards, I'm afraid they will come again." Ye Zhen asked.
"No need, your father has already kept some people with me, and he should know about it before long." Zhaoyang said with a little embarrassment.
Ye Zhen glanced at her with a smile, "Then I won't make any fuss. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
