I fought back after reselling my engagement

Was it she who also saved Princess Qingchun's precious daughter?

Any one of the things she mentioned would be rewarded handsomely, and might even help raise the Zhen family's reputation to a higher level.

Zhen Su continued, "Prince Rong blocked me on the road today and forced me to be his concubine. I refused to let me go unless I agreed. Before my mother died, she made me swear an oath, saying, 'I would rather be a peasant woman than a concubine of a noble family.' As a result, his blocking of the road was seen by the second prince and a general, and then Prince Rong was beaten by them.

Princess Changle saw that I was being bullied and out of chivalry, she beat up Prince Rong.

In order to save her brother, Miss Rong decided to tell the emperor about the spying on me. She said I was a weird person who did good things without leaving a name. Daddy, I am so confused now. I don’t know how I became like this all of a sudden.

Miss Rong said that she was the one who spread the rumors and reputation outside. She just felt sorry for me and hoped that my stepmother would treat me better. I really didn’t know it would turn out like this…”

Zhen Rong's eyes widened when she heard this. Oh my God, so many things had happened. Her second sister had even saved Princess Qingchun's daughter. What else could there be? There must be more.

Zhen Yuan felt that his daughter's words contained too much information. His daughter had done something big that she didn't want anyone to know about. However, the Le Da Marquis Mansion, which had been keeping an eye on her for two years, found out everything.

The rumors outside were not spread by her. It was Miss Rong from the Leda Marquis's Mansion who could not stand it anymore and sent someone to spread them.

Zhen Rong ran downstairs, "Uncle, you can't blame my second sister. So many people saw it today. It was Prince Rong who bullied others. The Ninth Princess, the Second Prince, Princess Changle, and Princess Fanghua all helped my second sister vent her anger. Even Miss Rong said that her brother was shameful.

Today, the eldest sister lost her composure. When she heard that Prince Rong was engaged, she actually shouted, "Prince Rong is hers, the engagement is hers, and the position of the prince's wife is hers." Many people heard this, and my grandmother was so angry that her face turned pale.

Second sister has brought honor to our Zhen family today. The Ninth Princess invited Second sister to join the Noble Ladies Calligraphy and Painting Society. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, we have to go to Mingzhu Garden to discuss music, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

Zhen Yuan knew that there was a calligraphy and painting society for noble ladies in the capital. The Ninth Princess was the president and Princess Changle was the vice president. The noble ladies who could enter were either rich or noble, talented and beautiful, and had good family backgrounds. They were all legitimate daughters of the powerful families of the time. Concubines were not qualified to enter.

Zhen Su said, "Dad, have you told your wife about the marriage?"

So, this marriage was originally planned for the second sister. Because of the engagement, the Leda Marquis' Mansion had been keeping an eye on the second sister for more than two years, and they knew more about the matter than she did herself.

When Zhen Su heard about this today, she became more disappointed with the Rong family. In her previous life, she was framed, and they knew it very well. However, after her stepmother and elder sister plotted against her, they married Zhen Zhen. Compared with her, they would rather marry Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Yuan felt a little guilty, "I let it slip once, and she knew about it."

Zhen Rong was surprised. "The eldest lady knew about it. She thought she could snatch the marriage for the eldest lady. That's why the eldest lady lost her composure when she heard about the engagement of Prince Rong at the ceremony today. She kept saying that Prince Rong was hers, the engagement was hers, and the prince's wife was hers. No wonder the eldest lady didn't even discuss marriage for her when she was sixteen..."

Zhen Rong was only eleven years old, and this was her age in Chinese. Even she had figured it out, so how could Zhen Yuan not understand it? Only after being shocked, angry, and disappointed would she tell the truth. Zhen Zhen said these words because she had been waiting for this and wanted to marry Prince Rong.

Zhen Su thought that her father had told Yu about this in her previous life, so Yu went to find Zhen Yuan with the box in her hand. Zhen Yuan was going to choose a day to discuss marriage with Le Dahou Mansion, but at dusk the next day, someone saw a person climbing over the wall of Tingyu Pavilion. Yu's mother and daughter brought a large group of people to catch the woman, and her attic was searched for "love poems" and "love letters". These "evidences" were not hers at all, but her father did not listen to her explanation and scolded her for being shameless.

Zhen Yuan disliked Yu's nephew, who was a poor family. Even if she climbed over the courtyard wall, there was no other evidence to prove that Zhen Su had done something against women's virtues. If Zhen Yuan did not hate the Yu family so much, he might have married her off.

Zhen Yuan listened to Yu's trick and came up with the idea of ​​letting her be Zhen Zhen's concubine, and asked her to write a letter to Mrs. Su, saying that she was willing. She pretended to agree, took the opportunity to go to Su's house, took out the six shops left by Su, gave three to her aunt for free, and sold three to her second aunt at half price, which made her two aunts come forward to protect her.

After she came back, she said, "I'd rather be a peasant woman than a concubine of a noble family," which disrupted all of Yu's plans. Two aunts also came with her back to Zhen's mansion. They pointed at Yu and scolded her, saying that everything was a conspiracy and that if there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather. After being scolded by the two aunts, Yu, who was already guilty, was afraid of causing trouble, so she hurriedly found an official matchmaker and selected twelve decent households from the farmers for her to choose from.

Zhen Su surprised her again, because Zhen Su chose Lujiazhuang herself and wanted to become the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of the farmer Lu Baoku.

In just three days, she got married in a hurry and left the Zhen family with a carriage full of boxes and belongings, the shop that was sold at half price, and the 300 acres of farm left by her mother.

Zhen Su said, "Father, do you know that my stepmother and elder sister have been planning a marriage at Le Dahou Mansion in recent years?"

This was far different from Zhen Yuan's expectations. He came here to call for an explanation, so why would his daughter ask him this?

Zhen Yuan asked: "You would rather give it to the Su family than to your elder sister?"

"When I opened the box and saw the marriage certificate, it said 'the daughter of Lord Su's grandson and Lord Rong's eldest grandson Rong Wei'. The eldest sister's surname is not Zhen, and she has no relationship with the Su family. It is a crime to possess a treasure, and the treasure cannot be kept. The same is true for a marriage that is too good. For Su Su, this is a marriage that is not suitable for her family."

Her expression of hurt and loneliness suddenly struck Zhen Yuan, and he seemed to see the same figure of Su who was seriously ill ten years ago. Su Su looked too much like her mother, and because of the resemblance, Master Su favored her especially.

"I would rather be a peasant woman than a concubine of a rich man. Before my mother died, she asked me to kneel before her bed and swear that I would remember these words for the rest of my life and never forget them. I don't even want to be a wife of a rich man, so how can I be a concubine of a rich man?

The daughter of the Su family is not me, nor is it Zhen Zhen. It is the legitimate daughter of my eldest and second uncles. I saw the marriage certificate and made an appointment with my second and third cousins ​​on the Dragon Boat Festival. My third cousin came and I gave her the marriage certificate.

This is the whole truth.

The marriage certificate was in her hand, but she handed it over because she didn't want this marriage.

Zhen Yuan said: "Why didn't you discuss this matter with me?"

"If my father really wanted to protect his daughter, he would not tell anyone about the matter that affects my life. If I don't let him, I will become a pile of bones in no time. Everyone in the capital says that I am a softie, but I am not a fool."

In the dusk, the frail figure and the lost and helpless words touched people's hearts. Zhen Rong had already covered her mouth and started crying because she felt sorry for her second sister. She saw her second sister's trembling shoulders.
