Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 326
Chapter 326 Deserve A Crime
“Indeed, winter is coming. Naturally, we have to celebrate.” Su Wanwan agreed, and the two of them walked out.
The Ye Clan was at least a Marquis, and that was a high-grade position. Even the Prime Minister’s Mansion did not dare to provoke him, but the people of the General’s Mansion had actually made a move on his head!
This is really lively!
Su Wanwan laughed when she thought of what might happen in the palace.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace was very quiet.
Everyone lowered their heads, even Emperor Qi Sheng was drinking tea.
A man knelt under the dragon chair and cried, “Your Majesty, that Xu Clan’s Xu Su must be treated! Our Marquis Manor cannot allow her to be bullied by a yellow-haired girl!”
“Ye Aiqing, don’t be angry. Tell me what happened slowly.” After Qi Sheng said this, the tea in his hand swayed and placed on the coffee table beside him.
Old Marquis Ye immediately explained the situation clearly, “That Xu Family woman encouraged my grandson and granddaughter to go and find trouble with Su Wanwan, but who would have thought that … Ai! Your Majesty, if you don’t make the decision for our Ye Family, it would be a chill to our Ye Family’s heart!”
Xu Su? Wasn’t this the woman he arranged for Qi Chengfeng to get married? Qi Sheng’s expression darkened. “Aiqing Ye, don’t speak nonsense. This Ye Family woman is going to marry the Third Prince tomorrow.”
“Your Majesty! You actually don’t believe me! Wait for me to summon those two bastards of my family over for a trial! The Xu family’s woman had better not marry the Third Prince, otherwise she will definitely be humiliated by the royal family!” Lord Marquis Ye covered his chest and said, tears streaming down his face.
Qi Sheng remained silent and ordered people to send Xu Su and the others. Occasionally, Xu Su and the Ye siblings would arrive, and even Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng would arrive.
Xu Su’s face turned pale when she saw the two of them. She pulled Su Wanwan back and said, “Sister Wan, wasn’t it you who caused yesterday’s incident? Quickly admit it. The Emperor will definitely give you a lighter punishment.”
Was she implying a guilty plea? Su Wanwan coldly removed Xu Su’s hand and said, “Miss Xu, you should be asking yourself this question, right?”
“Sister, what did you say? Su’er doesn’t understand.” When Xu Su said this, she was anxious and tears flowed out of her eyes. This pear blossom with rain was very moving. However, Su Wanwan’s heart did not fluctuate at all. She said coldly, “Today, I came with the Third Prince to testify on behalf of the Old Marquis. Don’t struggle anymore. As the saying goes, confession is lenient, resistance is strict.”
Hearing this, Qi Sheng pointed the spear at Su Wanwan’s head. In order to punish her quickly, Lord Marquis spoke up for Su Wanwan and told her the evidence that he had seen in the Zhao Clan. Ye Qingxin and Ye Lingchen had no choice but to confess and tell her everything about Xu Su commanding the two of them.
“Your Majesty, all of this is Xu Su! If it weren’t for her, the two siblings in the Marquis Manor wouldn’t have …” Seeing Lord Marquis speak, tears began to flow down his face. Qi Sheng’s face was dark. He didn’t know what to say. After a long silence, he still ordered Xu Su to go to Ruoshui Temple to participate in Buddhism for ten years.
Ten years! She hadn’t married yet, and when she returned, she couldn’t get married anymore! Xu Su’s face darkened. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She actually cried out. Ye Qingxin and Ye Lingchen hated each other so much that they rushed over and beat Xu Su up. Xu Su screamed miserably, but no one stopped her.
After a long time, seeing Lord Marquis take Ye Qingxin and Ye Lingchen away, Xu Su was also dragged down. Only Su Wanwan, Qi Chengfeng, and Qi Sheng were left in the room.
The atmosphere was very dull. After arranging so many marriages for Qi Chengfeng, none of them succeeded! The more Qi Sheng thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He finally said, “Huang’er, it’s time for you to worship the court tomorrow, isn’t it?”
“It’s time to pay our respects. See you tomorrow.” After saying that, Qi Chengfeng took Su Wanwan’s hand and went out. A “bang” was heard in the room. Su Wanwan tilted her head slightly and saw Qi Sheng throw the teacup to the ground.
As the two walked, Su Wanwan said, “He suddenly asked you to go to court tomorrow. Do you know what he wants to do?”
“Although I don’t know, it’s definitely not a good thing.” As Qi Chengfeng spoke, his beautiful eyebrows knitted slightly. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the clothes Su Wanwan was wearing. His gaze lingered on a bulge of her for a few seconds. He asked in shock, “How old is Wanwan this year? Is she an adult?”
Why did he suddenly ask this question? Su Wanwan was slightly shocked. Suddenly, she saw Qi Chengfeng’s eyes turn hot. Su Wanwan suddenly felt scared and unconsciously let go of her hand and took a step back. “Qi Chengfeng, what … what do you want to do?”
“Nothing. Madam, don’t be afraid.” When Qi Chengfeng said those words, Su Wanwan could clearly see the unpredictable smile on his face. Su Wanwan was a little flustered.
Qi Chengfeng walked over and grabbed Su Wanwan’s hand. He abruptly pulled Su Wanwan into his embrace. Her white jade-like chin was stuck to Su Wanwan’s forehead. Her gaze moved openly towards Su Wanwan’s neck. She pursed her thin lips and said, “Madam, you don’t look young anymore. Why don’t we get married as soon as possible? Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a good thing for her husband to be coveted by others.”
Early marriage? Su Wanwan suddenly widened her eyes and covered Qi Chengfeng’s eyes. She remembered that Qi Chengfeng had said that he was cold and got into her blanket last night. She blushed and said, “It’s not too early to hurry. Take your time.”
After saying this, Su Wanwan felt her body warm up, and her face turned even redder. She let go of her hand and ran away with small steps,
Qi Chengfeng immediately followed and smiled, “Madam, don’t be afraid. Once you become your husband, you will definitely be loved well.”
“…”
Thinking of the meaning behind her words, the red light on Su Wanwan’s face became even brighter.
Returning to the mansion, Su Wanwan did not speak to Qi Chengfeng for a whole night. Qi Chengfeng did not do anything. In the morning, he had his servants cook and waited for Su Wanwan to go up.
Qi Chengfeng did not know that before he arrived, the Imperial Court had already become extremely hot because of Qi Sheng’s words.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Third Prince is old enough to take a wife. Think about which family’s young miss is the most suitable to recommend to me.” When Qi Sheng said those words, everyone looked at each other and began to discuss.
An official said, “Your Majesty, this official has a little girl. She is thirteen years old and is good at red. She has a gentle and virtuous temperament. Although her appearance is not charming, it is also exquisite and lovely …”
Another official scolded, “Your Majesty! Your daughter is not bad either. Your daughter is twelve years old, and she was born…”
“…”
No one knew which official mentioned his daughter, and everyone recommended her like this, wishing they could send her up to Qi Sheng to choose on the spot.
Qi Sheng nodded as he listened to these words, and his gaze seemed to be thoughtful.
When Qi Chengfeng stepped into the hall and heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He felt that there was indeed nothing good about it, and his face darkened as he strode into the room.
Everyone immediately fell silent. However, after a few seconds, they began to speak again. Qi Sheng gave him a look and an official immediately walked over.
