Gu Jing fell silent and just picked up the new teacup that was served, on the other hand, Qin Xin was so scared that her body slightly trembled, and did not dare to move.
After Gu Jing took a sip of hot tea, he put down the tea cup and ordered, “Bring that mother and son in!”
“Yes, Your Highness.” The young servant hastily carries out the order and quickly left the room.
The servant who left in a hurry also came back in a hurry, but this time, the servant's face was a little stiff as he bowed and said, “Your Highness, the mother, and son refused to come in with this servant.” Too many people were watching outside, and the servant does not dare to force Madam Zhang and her son, so he could only return empty-handed.
Just as these words fell, the temperature in the room suddenly plummeted, as if it had suddenly entered cold autumn in early summer.
Qin Xin: “…”
Gu Jing's complexion darkened again. He had originally intended to say that since this was a trouble Qin Xin had caused then let her solve it herself, however, when the words came to his lips, he hesitated.
Everyone in the capital knew that he held Qin Xin in the palm of his hand and if he just leaves it like this, letting Qin Xin go out alone, what would others think?!
Gu Jing quickly stood up and casually dusted off his robe as he said coldly, “I'll go out and take a look, you come with me.”
The “you” that he said obviously refers to Qin Xin.
Qin Xin didn't dare say no to Gu Jing and hurriedly followed, following the same footsteps as if she was Gu Jing's shadow.
Before they reached the gate, they could already hear a woman's sharp scream from afar. “I have the bride price letter!”
“This country has laws, even the second prince can't just snatch other people's betrothed!”
As Qin Xin continued to follow Gu Jing to the gate, she immediately saw Madam Zhang waving the bride price letter brashly.
Madam Zhang also saw Gu Jing and Qin Xin, the man was dressed in an apricot yellow prince's robe, looking tall and handsome with an air of an extraordinary noble who look like he was out for a leisurely stroll in his courtyard.
But Madam Zhang didn't dare to look at Gu Jing too much, and instead, her gaze fell on Qin Xin who was behind him, and immediately her eyes lit up.
The young lady was not only beautiful but she could also see her similarities to Zhao Aman, their eyebrows were the same especially the shape of the eyes and mouth, the only difference, Zhao Aman was a lot fatter than her so her facial features appear rounder. On the other hand, her daughter was fairer and the makeup she was wearing was making her look more delicate, also the clothes and jewelry on her body were not ordinary, even the county magistrate's wife was not as well dressed as her.
No wonder the letter says that Li Erya was now rich!
Madam Zhang's memory of Li Erya was already blurred, but now that she saw Qin Xin, she was convinced she found her.
Sure enough, she made a mistake earlier. This one in front of her was Li Erya, the Li Erya in the bride price and her daughter-in-law, she finally found the right person this time.
Madam Zhang's face was filled with joy as she excitedly took a few steps closer to Qin Xin and yelled eagerly, “Daughter-in-law! Your mother-in-law finally found you!”
Xu Jinpeng followed suit like a parrot, “Wife! Wife!”
Qin Xin: “!”
Qin Xin's complexion blackened visibly to the naked eyes.
She didn't dare to look at Gu Jing's face at all, and coldly glared at the vulgar Madam Zhang, questioning, “How dare you come to the royal residence to cause trouble? What is your intention!”
“This is the Prince's Mansion, there's no one here you're looking for!”
Qin Xin repeatedly emphasized that Madam Zhang was in the Prince's Mansion and not the Qin Residence, as if telling her that she should go to the Qin residence to find Qin Jiu.
However, in Madam Zhang's ears, she only hears Qin Xin deliberately using the prince status to suppress, and scare her!
Though she has to say, Li Erya was right especially now that she has climbed to such high position as the second prince concubine so how could she admit being betrothed to her son! However, if Li Erya wants to drive her and son her son away with just these few words, she better not underestimate her, Madam Zhang.
“Daughter-in-law, you are clearly the daughter-in-law that I have set for our Jinpeng.” Madam Zhang cried and howled, “Even if you turn into ashes, I will still recognize you.”
When Madam Zhang shouted this, the people watching the show were also in an uproar. This was what they want to confirm, the second prince concubine was the Miss Qin who was betrothed to the fool!
Madam Zhang then said without hesitation, “Daughter-in-law, I understand, it is the second prince who forcibly snatched women as concubines, right?”
“Daughter-in-law, I know your temperament, you are pure and good-natured. You must not be the kind of person who sells one's soul for gain and forgets righteousness, if you have any difficulties just tell your mother-in-law and this mother-in-law will help you.”
Madam Zhang readily said each of these words with sincerity for her daughter-in-law, while inwardly she was burning with desire.
The letter they received told them that Li Erya was adopted by the Marquis and had a good marriage in the capital, but she didn't expect it to be such a great marriage.
No wonder, no wonder Zhao Aman and her husband would rather kill and run away than have the marriage!
Ai, those two were not thinking right at all, why bother killing!
As the saying goes, people go to high places, water flows to low places*.
(people always climb up, rush to high places, and yearn for a better life while the habit of water is to flow to low places)
Li Erya has such good fortune, it was fate, and it was a blessing cultivated in her previous life. And their Xu family was not unreasonable people as long as they talk and give them enough benefits, they would of course not force Li Erya to marry into their family. Given the Xu family's status in Jiangyu County, if they spend a little money, they could always find another girl suitable for Jinpeng to be his wife.
Thinking back, Madam Zhang's face did not dare to show any weakness at all, afraid that Qin Xin wouldn't admit it. And as soon as she sat down on the ground, she cried, howled, and spat, “Lang Lang Qiankun1, second prince seizes □ □2, is there still justice in this world? Injustice!”
(1desribe the political clarity and peace, 2raw is just □ □)
Hearing Madam Zhang's shout of injustice, Gu Jing's face became increasingly ugly, and ordered the guards, “Someone, beat them out.”
When Gu Jing left the palace to establish himself, the emperor did not give him guards so he bought young men and later let them act as bodyguards.
The guards immediately carried the order and pressed forward toward Madam Zhang coldly and aggressively.
Madam Zhang felt uneasy but, on the surface, she still looked like she was ready for anything like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. Sitting on the ground, she howled once again, “They're going to kill me, they are murdering people just to shut my mouth!”
“Everyone, see this, the noble prince is bullying us commoners!”
“Jinpeng, your mother is useless, I can't even keep your wife.”
Madam Zhang howled louder and louder making all the onlookers watch with interest, thinking that this play was too good of a show, even more exciting than those performed by the actors in the theater.
