Murong Jie knew that what the Queen Mother said was true, but he would not get married at this time.
"There is no need to say more, mother. If the old ancestor insists on forcing me, I will leave the capital and leave this mess behind for her to come back and clean up." After saying this, he walked away.
The Queen Mother smiled bitterly, "This child is very stubborn!"
Eunuch Sun said worriedly, "I don't know why the old ancestor issued this decree? He didn't even say who he was going to marry, which made me very worried."
"Isn't it? She hasn't been involved in the affairs of the court for so many years. She must have had enough of the comfortable life and came back to find something to do. But she knows Ajie's temper very well, so how can she force him? Really." The Queen Mother also complained a lot.
A small island opposite the town of Xiliang.
Zi'an thinks about how to escape every day. She has been trapped here for almost ten days. There is fresh water for bathing on the island, but no change of clothes. In other words, she has not changed her clothes for more than ten days.
She could smell the sour odor on herself.
Early this morning, neither the snake lady nor the old aunt were at home, and she wanted to sneak away, but the old aunt's python kept following her. Every step she took, the python followed. When she wanted to jump into the water, the python pounced on her and knocked her down, clinging to her and not letting her leave.
Zi'an raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, I won't run away!"
The python seemed to understand what she said and slowly moved away, but still coiled around her like a mountain.
Zi'an sat on the beach, propped up his chin and looked at the huge creature. "You said you were a good snake, why did you let humans drive you around?"
The python stared at her motionlessly, and it was unclear whether it was looking at her or not, but it didn't react at all.
"Where did your master go? Who are they? This doesn't seem like the place where they live." Zi'an has been running all over the island these days, and of course, there are snakes following him.
There isn't much here, mostly poisonous snakes. She was scared at first, but gradually she felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
Zi'an asked this, naturally not expecting the python to answer her. Out of boredom, she untied the scar rope wrapped around her arm. The scar rope was really ugly, the whole body was light yellow, no, it was mud color, no, shit yellow was more appropriate to describe it. There were many marks of being cut by a knife, but it was not broken. It looked dirty and very shabby and not presentable.
Just with such an ugly rope, they exchanged her soul-stealing ring. Were these two old women robbers in the past
The two female robbers did not return until the evening. When they returned, they threw a box to her. The snake woman said to her, "After three days, you must change into this dress."
When Zi'an opened it, she saw a wedding dress gleaming with gold, which blinded her titanium dog eyes.
But that's not the point, the point is...
"Wedding dress? Why should I wear a wedding dress?" Zi'an asked.
“You old fool… My master has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you to her stupid great-grandson.” The snake woman said coldly.
Zi'an felt as if thousands of horses were galloping through his heart, and he was filled with anger, but he couldn't vent his anger. "I am flattered that you think highly of me, senior. However, I have no plans to get married, and I don't think I am worthy of your family... Dasha, please choose another virtuous woman!"
The snake woman glanced at her and said, "Of course you are not worthy of it. Our master thinks highly of you and gives you this blessing. You should just thank him!"
Zi'an nodded, "Thank you, thank you, but the truth is, I'm already engaged."
"That's your business." After saying that, Old Woman Ah She turned and left.
The old aunt was still sitting on the beach, her face covered with a veil. She glanced at Zi'an's face indifferently, and ignored her. She called Ashe Po to come and sit beside her, as if she wanted to talk.
Zi'an wanted to lean over to listen, but the snake lady threw a fork at her and said, "Go fishing."
Zi'an took the fork and walked forward a few steps. Suddenly he turned around, threw the fork to the ground, and said angrily, "That's enough. I've tolerated you for a long time. Who are you? Why did you trap me here?"
"Let's go fishing!" said the snake lady coldly.
"I'll beat you to death. If you don't let me go, my fiancé will find out and will not let you off." Zi'an got mad and even cursed. He was really annoyed. Although he saved her life, he couldn't blackmail her into marrying a fool.
"Is her fiancée a powerful figure?" the old aunt asked, looking at Grandma Ashe.
The snake woman said, "It's considered big, what about the regent?"
Zi'an gasped. They knew? Who were they? If they knew her fiancé was the regent, why did they want her to marry her stupid grandson
The Noble Concubine's people? The old lady's people? Or Master Liang
Damn, there are too many enemies.
When Zi'an thought of this, he suddenly picked up the fork on the ground and rushed towards Ashe Pozi.
After a series of "crackling" sounds, Zi'an picked up the fork and obediently walked to the beach to fish.
She half-crouched in the sea, washed her already swollen face and head with water, and said with a grin: "This old man, he was really cruel!"
The opponent's weapon was just an embroidered shoe.
She was a special agent and military doctor, but she was beaten to a pulp by an embroidered shoe. And the person who beat her was a woman. It was so damn embarrassing.
So angry!
While she was fishing, Ah She Po Zi sat beside her old aunt, holding her chin and looking at Zi An fishing in the sea, "This girl has a very bad temper."
"Without a bit of a hot temper, how can you control my silly great-grandson?" the old aunt said indifferently.
"I haven't drunk at a wedding for a long time." The snake woman breathed a sigh of relief, "But what I want to see most now is the angry little face of the seventh brother. It's so cute."
The old aunt snorted, "Do you think he is still a child? A child over six years old is no longer cute."
"You can't say that. Didn't you always say Hui Zu was adorable back then?" said the old woman Ah She, pausing for a moment. "But I'm afraid that Old Seven may not understand your good intentions. You're just teasing him, and he won't agree to this marriage."
"If I wasn't like this, would I have been able to get past his mother?" The old aunt's eyes were cold. "I didn't like her when she entered the palace. You can tell whether a person has ambitions from their eyes. He could have planned this wedding well. After all, he is the regent now. A hasty marriage would have been unfair to him."
"Yes, after Xia Zian returns, she must become the Regent Princess in order to fight her. Otherwise, when the Empress Dowager comes, I don't know when the marriage will be settled. Moreover, if the marriage is not settled, the Noble Concubine will have to take action. I don't know when the fight will end. I'm afraid they won't be able to get married next year."
"I didn't want to get involved in the matter of marriage, but the Seventh Prince can't just deal with his mother's ambition. He still has things he should do. As for that woman, let Xia Zian protect her. Besides, women are more ruthless when they attack other women. Ajie won't be branded as unfilial. If this woman messes up the government of our Great Zhou Dynasty again, there will be barbarians invading. Now it's already in danger. I can only hate those people for being blind and not seeing it."
This old aunt is the current Empress Dowager, the daughter of the former Prime Minister, Long Zhanyan.
