Chapter 84 – A Small Get-Together in the Prince’s Residence

A Small Get-Together in the Prince’s Residence

Advertisement

Miantang was stunned and said, “Ah? He’s not that bad?”

 

He Zhen raised her eyebrows, “Not that bad? If he’s okay, why don’t he give you the family expenses when you were living in Lingquan Town?”

 

He Zhen clearly remembers that although Miantang made money at that time, she was always careful. Her words also revealed that her husband could occasionally bring back some money by gambling on chess. If they want to live their life for the long term, she needs to plan their spending… Although Miantang is proud of her husband’s ability to make money, the money is too stingy for a Prince!

 

Miantang was speechless that she could only say, “At that time… He has to hide his identity, so he couldn’t bring too much money…”

 

“Even the men in the Chamber of Commerce who goes on a brothel, they paid more money to the women than he did…” He Zhen whispered this sentence and looked at Miantang with relieved pity.

 

Miantang thinks that even if He Zhen doesn’t blame herself, she can’t discredit Cui Xingzhou like this! She then tried to save it again and said, “He didn’t mean to deceive… It was a last resort…”

 

“He indeed didn’t mean to deceive… He still has a fiancee over at his residence. If you make trouble, there will be a scene…”

 

If Lady He is willing, there will be no rivals in Lingquan Town with her sarcastic ridicule skills.

 

Miantang didn’t explain at all, but said honestly, “We have to go one step at a time. When we signed the marriage contract, he said that we can dissolve the engagement at any time…”

 

Miantang meant to say that The Prince was open-minded and reserved a way for her. But when He Zhen heard this and then compared it with Cui Xingzhou’s cold and ruthless appearance in the firewood room, it became a threat. If he happens to beat Liu Miantang up, she needs to obey him. Otherwise, she will become an outcast at any time…

In fact, when He Zhen fantasized about her relationship with Prince Huaiyang, she also thought about the resistance she would encounter because of the great disparity between their backgrounds.

 

But now after Liu Miantang experiences her wishes on her behalf, the resistance of those fantasies seems to have come true one by one.

 

Although He Zhen is a merchant girl, she has always been a privileged girl since childhood. She has never been wronged at home. Today, after suffering from the firewood room, she was scared when she looked at the Princes and nobles of those deep houses.

 

Poor Miantang, she was cheated to sleep by a lecherous Prince at the start. She has lost her innocence. She has no choice but to enter the Residence and get along with the petty and ruthless Prince…

 

For a moment, she kept her spikes.

When Liu Miantang finished speaking, the carriage also arrived. Miantang asked He Zhen to go home and drink some warm soup. After a good sleep, she will most probably wash away the bad luck in the firewood room at the Marquis Residence today.

 

He Zhen bowed her head and said, “Will you laugh at my previous foolishness?”

 

Miantang smiled, “When we chose the pattern of the porcelain pieces, we both picked up the good ones, which shows that both of us were insidious people. He looks really good. Even if he isn’t a Prince, others will still want to be with him. Why should I laugh at you?”

 

He Zhen looked up at her quickly and thought that she was talking about the man for being too good. It seems a bit like enjoying life through hard up, but it was not easy to continue talking through her. She just muttered, “Take care… Now you are the County Mayor, but I still dared to make trouble on you… You won’t blame me, right?”

 

Miantang smiled when she suddenly said politely, “If I blamed you, I won’t let anyone go to the firewood room to pick you up…”

He Zhen and she looked at each other and smiled. A girl’s wrong love that had lasted until now had a feeling of waking up from a dream. However, when they were about to say goodbye, He Zhen kindly reminded Liu Miantang of Lady Lian’s words of instigation.

 

Liu Miantang did not panic when she heard that Lian Binglan knew that she once lived on North Street.

 

As a matter of fact, unless all the people in Lingquan Town are killed, she will be known sooner or later.

 

She always acts with a clear conscience. As for Prince Huaiyang, if he dares to cheat, he must be bold to admit it. So even if Lady Lian knows, it doesn’t matter if she gossips about her behind her back.

 

After Cui Xingzhou went to the State of Dong for a tour, he also took a break from his busy schedule and returned to the State of Zhen temporarily.

After having dinner in the residence, he wandered into Liu Miantang’s yard.

 

Miantang is writing a letter to her family.

 

These days, Liu Miantang has sorted out her own industrial shop, remitted some money to Big Uncle Lu, and asked him to buy back some of the land sold by the Lu family, so that the whole family would not go through the same mistakes again.

 

A few days ago, her Big Uncle wrote that the two houses had separated under the auspices of her Grandfather. Her Grandfather lived with her Big Uncle. As for Lu Mu, her Second Uncle, he moved out and lived independently.

 

Miantang thought it would be better. Otherwise, she could not count on the kindness of her Elder Uncle. So she also told her Grandfather to pay attention to his health. She would stay in the coming year. When the war in the State of Dong was not serious, she will beg the Prince to go back for a visit.

While she was writing, a voice came from behind, “It doesn’t need to be next year, the war can end this autumn.”

 

Miantang turned to look at him, “Really? At the tea party today, those women also talk about the disaster of the State of Dong. They said that the bandit leader was very powerful and had the momentum of the Mountain of Yang and Lu Wen…”

 

Cui Xingzhou always thinks Liu Dan is Lu Wen. Hearing what Miantang said, there was a feeling of his fiancee praising his predecessors. Thus, he could not help but snort, “Even Lu Wen is my defeated opponent. What’s the fear of another one?”

 

Miantang glanced at him, turned around, and said, “Since Your Highness is so brave, you should use it on the blade. Why do you have to scare a little girl in the wood shed today?”

 

“What little girl? It’s an old girl!” Cui Xingzhou corrected Miantang with a stern face…

 

Prince Huaiyang had a long-standing feud with He Zhen. He caught her today. It’s considered light just frightening her.

 

Liu Miantang was resented by He Zhen for a few words today. She was sullen at first. She felt that he was a liar. Even He Zhen woke up, but she was still fascinated by this big liar.

 

However, seeing that Cui Xingzhou was also angry, she was happy, “Don’t worry, she won’t have any wrong fantasies for you in the future. Lady He said that the Masters of the Chamber of Commerce gave the women more money for drinking and playing in the brothel than what you gave me for my monthly family expenses!”

 

No matter how handsome the man is, he was being stingy. He Zhen’s young hero in a white horse and plain clothes is really gone.

 

Cui Xingzhou doesn’t care what He Zhen thinks. He just reaches out and pulls her into his arms. He says in a husky voice, “How long has it been since I touched you? Even if I wanted to reward you, there’s no place to give it… Otherwise, if you open your door tonight, I will give you a good reward…”

 

Miantang doesn’t want to open. After laughing with him for a while, she drove him away.

 

Cui Xingzhou said, “Then I won’t make trouble for you. Don’t hurry to chase me away, and talk more.”

 

Miantang has made some cakes by learning from Servant Li these days and brought them to him.

 

After all, she had been a fake couple with him for so long, and she couldn’t be shy and coy like ordinary unmarried children.

 

Under the brocade curtains and flowers, a handsome man wearing a golden crown, half embracing a beautiful woman in a pink Ru skirt, and constantly torturing with whispers. It’s a beautiful picture.

 

It’s a pity that the Old Princess Consort doesn’t want her son to break the rules. So before they got along for too long, the Old Princess Consort sent someone to call Cui Xingzhou to talk.

 

The Old Princess Consort with a straight face really kills the mood, but Cui Xingzhou doesn’t want to disobey his mother.

 

In short, before the ceremony, Prince Huaiyang must keep the urge to himself no matter how urgent he is!

 

This is also the biggest reason why Cui Xingzhou was so anxious to put an end to the trouble in the State of Dong to beat down those bandits so that he could return to the residence and finish their marriage ceremony and have a beauty to hold every night.

 

However, the news that Prince Huaiyang was going to get married has been spread all over the State of Zhen, and people are privately talking about how the fiancee of Prince Huaiyang once rose from sparrow to phoenix.

 

When Princess Consort Sui came back from the State of Zhen and had dinner with Prince Sui, she naturally told Prince Sui about the new Princess Consort of Prince Huaiyang.

 

Prince Sui was also listening for a moment. He didn’t look up until Princess Consort Sui mentioned that his fiancee, was named Liu Miantang.

 

These days, Prince Sui is busy going to the Capital. Although his subordinates reported that Prince Huaiyang was rewarded when he went to the Capital, he did not inquire about it carefully. As for the wedding of a woman brought back by Prince Huaiyang, it is a matter of concern only for women.

 

Since he did not marry the daughter of the royals or ministers, there is no situation of alliance to attract forces through marriage, and Prince Sui naturally did not care about it.

 

But he never thought that the woman Cui Xingzhou was going to marry was Liu Miantang from the State of Xi!

 

After eating only half of his meal, Prince Sui put down his dishes and chopsticks and then trials the spies he bought back from the Capital one by one.

 

Only then did this marriage, which is out of reach, become clear.

 

Prince Sui never thought that Cui Xingzhou would be so unreasonable and dare to marry such a bandit leader!

 

In addition to the shock, there was an uncomfortable feeling of being eaten by a tiger.

 

Why would Cui Xingzhou poke his nose into other people’s business? Why did the people who he ordered to propose never return?

 

After hearing the report from his subordinates, he stared for a long time and then burst out laughing. But the laughter was full of malice, “Prince Huaiyang! You are always against me, and you always take whatever I like! It’s just that I don’t know who will be the last winner…”

 

To be honest, just because of this momentary negligence, he missed a good opportunity to deteriorate the relationship between Cui Xingzhou and the new Emperor.

 

However, if he knows now, he can also make the plan layout earlier.

 

If he continues to allow Prince Huaiyang to strengthen his strength, it will be a hidden danger for his hegemony sooner or later. This turmoil in the State of Dong is a good opportunity. If it is used properly, he can not only get rid of Prince Huaiyang but also get the woman who interests him without effort.

 

Prince Sui was originally interested in Liu Miantang of the reason that he found an interesting new thing and wanted to play with it. But now, the woman is going to be the Princess Consort of Prince Huaiyang, which increases his full desire to win.

 

Liu Miantang, I’d like to see how charming you are that even Cui Xingzhou cannot control himself!
