Chapter 110 The legitimate daughter whose engagement was broken off 7
The original owner had always been the most suitable candidate for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Princess of the County, but in her previous life, there was only one reason why she agreed to Chu Zisu's cancellation of the engagement, and that was that Wei Lanxue was already pregnant at that time.
That was the first grandchild of the Prince's Mansion, and possibly the eldest grandson of the Prince's Mansion. The Princess of the Prince had no choice, she could not let her eldest grandson become a concubine's son or an illegitimate child of a concubine.
Moreover, Wei Lanxue's reputation at that time was not as bad as it is now, so she agreed to let Wei Lanxue marry her eldest son. But now Wei Lanxue is not pregnant and her reputation is ruined. The Princess of the County is very disgusted with her if she is sent to the palace as a concubine.
Not to mention that even if Wei Lanxue really had a child now, the Princess would have to doubt whether it was from their Chu family.
So in the end, Wei Lanxue was carried into the Prince's Mansion through a side door in a sedan chair. Lord Wei was very happy. With the development outside being like that, it was the best choice for his daughter to enter the Prince's Mansion.
Moreover, he believed that with his daughter's abilities, she would definitely become his legal wife in the future, and then he would be a legitimate relative of the Prince's Mansion.
Because this matter was very embarrassing, the Princess kept everything simple and didn't even want too many people to know about it. However, Si Ying still secretly sent servants to spread the news, so Wei Lanxue entered the Prince's Mansion as a concubine, and it became known to the whole city.
The concubine entered the palace first without marrying a wife. The reputation of the Prince's Mansion was temporarily damaged. Everyone was waiting to see whether Si Ying would cancel the engagement. Although the Princess had seen Si Ying before, she was also afraid that Si Ying would be affected by the rumors outside, so she gave her many valuable gifts.
Si Ying happily played with these valuable items and picked some to reward the servants. Now she was almost the one in charge of the mansion.
The original owner's mother was recuperating in the south, and her grandmother was in her hometown. Everything in the mansion was arranged by Si Ying. The servants could also follow her orders, and she could send them out to do things, which was very convenient.
The people in the mansion were also very happy. Recently, the young lady had asked them to do things and had given them generous rewards. He also became more loyal to Si Ying.
Finally, the time came for the emperor to hold a banquet. Si Ying entered the palace with Lord Zhao to attend the banquet. This time, the legitimate daughters sitting next to Si Ying did not stare at Chu Zisu like they did in their previous lives. Many legitimate daughters from large families knew that he took a concubine before his wife entered the house, which was against etiquette and a sign of his being obsessed with beauty. Their fathers and mothers repeatedly taught them not to marry into such a family.
They were all the legitimate daughters of noble officials and could marry princes, so there were not many women who were secretly looking at Chu Zisu at this moment. Si Ying eliminated them one by one and finally locked on one of the legitimate daughters, Sun Yuerong.
She is the legitimate daughter of Lord Sun, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, but her biological mother died early, and Lord Sun married another wife. This wife is not a concubine like Wei Lanxue's mother, but a legitimate daughter of an official family. Therefore, her method of dealing with Sun Yuerong is very clever. Sun Yuerong is now eighteen years old, but there is still no marriage arrangement for her.
Si Ying knew what Lord Sun's second wife was planning. Naturally, she wanted to age Sun Yuerong and then marry her off to some older officials as a concubine.
Sun Yuerong herself knew that all this happened because when she was a child, when the second wife first got married, she mocked the other party for letting a legitimate daughter become someone else's second wife. Then the second wife held a grudge against her and kept controlling her marriage. She also told others that it was because Sun Yuerong was too picky and didn't like any of them. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to propose marriage, and their family backgrounds became lower and lower.
Sun Yuerong was naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death, so her target was Chu Zisuo, who had a prominent family background and was also handsome and elegant.
At this moment, she exchanged a glance with a palace maid, and the palace maid ran towards Si Ying with a wine glass in hand.
It was the palace maid who accidentally spilled wine on the original owner in the previous life. Si Ying understood instantly.
She looked around the banquet, trying to find out who had instructed the palace maids to deliberately spill the wine on the original owner. Sure enough, she was right. It was Sun Yuerong.
Although Sun Yuerong was not valued by her father and was suppressed by her stepmother, after all, the emperor's favorite concubine in the palace, Lipin, was her aunt's biological daughter and her cousin, so it was easy for her to bribe a little palace maid.
The little palace maid ran towards Si Ying, and was about to pour wine, but her hand shook, and the whole pot of wine was about to spill onto Si Ying's luxurious palace dress. At this time, Si Ying raised her hand slightly, and the whole pot of wine was poured towards Sun Yuerong who was not far away, making her clothes and makeup wet, looking very embarrassed.
The maid was really frightened this time, and she knelt down to admit her mistake and beg for mercy. Sun Yuerong wiped the wine off her cheek with a handkerchief, and kept cursing the stupid maid in her heart for not doing her job well.
Just as she was about to punish the maid for ruining her plan, she saw Si Ying stand up, walk up to her and say, "Sister Rong, this maid wanted to pour me some wine, but she spilled it all over you. You've suffered for me, and now you're soaked. I'll go with you to change your clothes."
Sun Yuerong didn't expect that things would turn out like this. Si Ying actually offered to accompany her to change clothes. That was great. Her plan could continue.
So she quickly suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, reprimanded the palace maid and asked her to lead the way and change her clothes.
The palace maid followed Sun Yuerong's instructions and brought them to the room where the original owner had stayed in the previous life. In the previous life, the original owner left without changing clothes in order to find the sachet. It was a blessing in disguise that she did not fall into Sun Yuerong's trap. Now Si Ying wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
Although she actually vaguely guessed it.
After entering the room, the little palace maid wanted to leave secretly, but Si Ying knocked her unconscious with a palm from behind.
Sun Yuerong, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to react, she was knocked unconscious by Si Ying's backhand.
Si Ying put them both on the bed, and then waited secretly in the dark. At this time, Si Ying smelled something wrong in the room. There was something wrong with the incense burning in the incense burner in the room, so she set up a barrier for herself to isolate the smell. After a while, a man sneaked in.
When the man saw the unconscious figure on the bed, he immediately smiled obscenely and walked behind the bed curtain. Si Ying also saw who was coming. It was Sun Yuxuan, the uneducated youngest son born to Sun Yuerong's stepmother.
Sun Yuerong's move was quite vicious. Not only did she want to destroy the original owner, but she also wanted to make the stepmother's son take the blame. It really killed two birds with one stone.
Si Ying went down, knocked Sun Yuxuan unconscious and threw him onto the bed. Then she glanced at the incense burner that was still burning beside her, turned around and quickly left.
She went straight to the place where the original owner met Chu Zisu in her previous life, but there was no one there. Si Ying suddenly realized that in her previous life, Chu Zisu must have had a secret meeting with Wei Lanxue at the palace banquet. Now that Wei Lanxue had given him a concubine, he was not eligible to attend the palace banquet, so he naturally would not appear here.
But it didn't matter. Si Ying immediately asked Tuan Tuan to check Chu Zisu's current location for her. It turned out that he was outside going to the toilet. Si Ying quickly flashed over and knocked Chu Zisu unconscious before he could enter the toilet. She took him away and returned to the previous room.
Sun Yuerong, Sun Yuxuan and the little palace maid were already lying on the bed. Si Ying casually threw Chu Zisu over there as well.
Fortunately, the bed in the palace is big enough, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate four people.
Si Ying used her spiritual power to wake up the few people, and then cast an illusion on the four of them so that the person they saw was the person they desired most in their hearts.
Then Si Ying clapped her hands and left. Soon, loud noises and gasps were heard in the room, which made people blush just by listening to them.
Si Ying knew that Sun Yuerong would naturally design a plan to be discovered, so she waited not far away to watch the show.
Sure enough, after a while a group of people came over here in a mighty manner. Leading the group was Sun Yuerong's cousin, Concubine Li, followed by many wives and daughters of officials, including Sun Yuerong's stepmother.
