It was only when they returned to the Xie Manor’s Rong An Hall that Xiao Baoxin heard the rumors Cai Wei had heard outside that he found out why Princess Kang Le and Madam Yin had such an attitude at the palace banquet.
It wasn’t like they were tugging and pulling on the Qinhuai River. They were clearly having a tryst on the boat, yet they were bumped into.
■’.. After all, the young master of the Yuan family was talented and had friends all over the world. It was said that he was easily blocked by those shameless young ladies when he went out. They even threw fruits, flowers, and grass at him. He was very famous.”
“in the end, when we were on the cruise, we were surrounded by three boats. The other boats were all filled with singing girls from the Qinhuai River, and only Yuan Xiaolang was seducing a noble lady from the royal family. It made people laugh like crazy.”
Cai Wei laughed so hard that she was swaying back and forth, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
■’Then, that Shi Ning County Head wanted to hide in the cabin. I don’t know if he did it on purpose, but he tilted his body and fell into Yuan Xiaolang’s arms.” Xiao Baoxin was also flabbergasted. There was actually such a thing?
“Fortunately, Yuan Xiaolang knows how to swim and saved Shi Ning County Head on his good friend’s boat.”Cai Wei suddenly stopped and sneakily went up to Xiao Baoxin,””Then, guess what Furen did. She immediately sent Shi Ning County Head back to Zhong Manor and personally proposed to Princess Kang
Le.”
One could imagine Princess Kang Le’s feelings. She did not like Yuan Chen to begin with. He was a plaything with her royal brother, and now he was hugging his daughter in front of everyone. He fell into the water and touched everything that he should not have touched. She suspected that Yuan Chen had set a trap for her daughter, and in a fit of anger, she chased Yuan Chen out.
This made Yuan Chen’s good friends who had gone to the Zhong Manor with him feel indignant. In less than a day, this matter had spread.
Later on, Yuan Chen’s father used his connections in the Zhong Residence and met the unreliable Sixth Zhong. The two of them actually hit it off and decided on a marriage.
This time, Princess Kang Le had no choice but to agree. Everyone in Jiankang City knew that her daughter had been taken advantage of by Yuan Chen. She was angry and hateful. Even if she let go, she was unwilling.
She only had one daughter, but Zhong Liu had many daughters and sons in and out of the residence. Princess Kang Le’s heart ached.
That was why there was that scene in the palace that attracted the attention of others.
“This servant also heard that Lady Yin of the Yuan Family wanted Lady Xie of the Qi Family to be a Baoshan, but she was rejected by Lady Xie. She said that she was not in good health and would not be a Baoshan for others in the future. This made Lady Yin very embarrassed, so she found Lady Yuan of the Cai Family to be a Baoshan. Yesterday, she went to the Zhong Manor to propose marriage.”
Xiao Baoxin did not think that he would be able to find out so many scandals by making a trip to the palace and placing Cai Wei in the residence.
Cai Wei expressed her modesty in regards to this. It was all because Furen had made things convenient for her and given her some face that she had befriended people in the Xie residence. Especially those maids in the backyard. Rumors in the market said that they were the fastest, like a gust of wind. It was rare to not gossip about the main family. Although the authenticity could not be tested, it was definitely gossip.
Generally speaking, all kinds of gossip and scandals were spread from below. Especially when Yuan Chen and Shi Ning County Master were hugging in broad daylight under the watchful eyes of the public. Wouldn’t that spread like wildfire?
One had to know that the common people loved to spread stories about love letters.
“I’m afraid this marriage is already a promise.” Xiao Baoxin laughed.
Regardless of whether Princess Kang Le was happy or not, the two people involved had gotten what they wanted.
After Xiao Baoxin broke off the engagement, half a year had passed, but Yuan Chen had yet to discuss marriage. It could only be that Madam Yin still wanted to arrange a good marriage for her son. On the other hand, Yuan Chen’s relationship with the Wang family’s Eighteen Langs had been widely spread. Later on, he had become very close to the Prince of Huaiyang. Although it was not known to everyone, it could not escape the eyes of people with ill intentions. Especially with Yuan Chen’s dark history, it was inevitable that some gossip would spread if he was even slightly close to any Langjun.
Even so, Shi Ning County Master still had the evil intention to pounce on him.
Xiao Baoxin was convinced.
However, this was what she wanted. It was not her place to interfere. She was just watching the show.
“Recently, the national funeral has passed and the new emperor is getting married. The entire Jiankang City has become lively. Every family is rushing to get married.”
Xiao Baoxin leaned on the couch with a faint smile.
In her opinion, the marriage between the Yuan and Zhong Families had to be secretly planned by Yuan Chen.
Although Zhong Liu was unreliable and Princess Kang Le did not have much status in the royal family, for a fallen aristocratic family with a dark history, the Zhong family was considered a high-class family.
The head of the Zhong family was the Grand Servant, in charge of the Emperor’s carriage and horse administration. Later, a rebel appeared in the Zhong family. He was the eldest son of the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Lu. He was the governor of Xiangzhou. Although Emperor Yong Ping forgave the rebellion in the family of the courtiers, the governor was still the eldest son of the Zhong family’s eldest son. His status was different. He was the eldest son of Zhong Lu’s wife. After that, the second wife gave birth to a few daughters. There were illegitimate sons in the family, but there were no more legitimate sons.
Emperor Yong Ping was also worried that Zhong Lu would waver, so he simply removed him from his position as Grand Servant and replaced him with a Virtual String Golden Purple Guanglu doctor.
Then, the position of the Grand Servant Minister fell on the head of the Lu family, which was the Zu family’s father-in-law.
Zhong Liu was Zhong Lu’s sixth brother, and he was just like Doctor Yuan, an idle doctor. However, he still had the position of Prince Consort and Commandant, which was better than the Yuan Family.
Yuan Chen could be considered to be someone who was above him.
At least in the eyes of others, this was already the best marriage that Yuan Chen could get. After all, not everyone’s eyes were blinded by sh * t. Even the Shi Ning County Head would not have chosen Yuan Chen if it wasn’t for the uproar caused by this incident and the fact that Princess Kang Le had been chased away.
This Yuan Chen could be considered to be scheming.
■In my previous life…This Yuan Chen was an extraordinary figure.’Although it hasn’t been long, in the year since King Huaiyang killed the Emperor and became emperor, Yuan Chen soared to the sky and was called the second and the strongest.
Of course, everyone knew about his unclear relationship with the Prince of Huaiyang.
Of course, the outcome was not good. After being engaged to Xiao Baoxin, how could Yang Shao let him go after gaining power?
in the end, the one who died was also ‘dirty’, and the man had played with her until she was rotten.
After Xiao Baoxin ‘listened’ to it, he still felt a little disgusted. There were some things that she really didn’t want to know. It was all old news from her previous life. There was really no need to tell her. Especially that Yuan Chen, who cared if he wanted to die or not?
After chasing Cai Wei and the other maids out, he took a nap.
However, she had something on her mind and couldn’t relax, so she didn’t sleep well.
It was only when Xie Xian returned to the residence in the evening that Xiao Baoxin finally felt at ease. He pulled Xie Xian to talk about the matter of the marriage with the Zu clan:
“I was also rash in a moment and went against that Zu family’s temper. In a moment of hot-headedness, I decided to settle with them.’As he spoke, the poor Barbarian took off the jade pendant hanging on his body and said,”
“We’ve already exchanged the tokens..”
