The wife of a marquis died tragically and was divorced. After her rebirth, she killed people everywh

"Zhou Zimo! Don't think that just because I like you, you can humiliate me like this. Who was that woman just now? Is she your mistress?"

?

Then the Fifth Princess crossed her arms arrogantly and said to Zhou Zimo in a condescending tone, "But since you didn't know that I was attracted to you in the past, I can forgive you for what happened. But you must deal with that bitch. I will never share my husband with anyone else."

?

Hearing this, Zhou Zimo chuckled and said, "I am not worthy of the Fifth Princess's favor! I hope the Fifth Princess will let me go."

?

After saying this, he left without hesitation.

?

Only the fifth princess was left, stomping her feet in anger.

?

"Damn Zhou Zimo, how dare you ignore this princess? Are you all useless? You just let him go like that? And why don't you quickly find out who that woman is?"

?

However, although the Fifth Princess was angry that Zhou Zimo rejected her, she rushed back to the palace as soon as she left the teahouse, because she knew that Zhou Zimo would come to the palace with Pingxi Hou today to express his gratitude, and she would definitely perform well in front of him then.

?

"He will definitely fall at the feet of this princess."

?

As the emperor's most favored princess, Zhao Muyao would naturally not marry just any prince consort. She had looked down on Zhou Zimo before, because although Zhou Zimo was the only son of Marquis Pingxi, his identity as an illegitimate child could never be made public.

?

But in the past year, Zhou Zimo's name always appeared in the battle reports sent from the border, and Zhao Muyao had heard her father praise Zhou Zimo, the eldest son of Pingxi Marquis Mansion, more than once: a good father and a good son!

?

In addition, Zhao Muyao sent someone to secretly draw a portrait of Zhou Zimo, and she fell in love with this prince of Pingxi Marquis Mansion at first sight.

?

Moreover, she heard from her father that her father would crown Zhou Zimo as the Marquis of Champion today.

?

Zhou Zimo, who is so promising and handsome, naturally becomes the best candidate for husband in Zhao Muyao's mind, and the fifth princess is very confident in her beauty.

?

She felt that she had a noble status and outstanding appearance, and she felt that Zhou Zimo had no reason to refuse to become her consort!

?

Although the prince consort was not allowed to attend court, the fifth princess felt that he was destined to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory, so there was naturally no need for him to go to court every day just for that tiny salary.

?

But the Fifth Princess hasn’t thought so much about it yet. She feels that she can definitely win Zhou Zimo’s heart, and then she will definitely ask her father to grant her a marriage!

?

Even Zhou Zimo didn't dare to disobey the order.

?

So the Fifth Princess, who had returned to the palace, immediately started to get busy. She asked the palace maids to take out all her clothes and prepare to make a stunning appearance at today's celebration banquet.

?

"The princess is so beautiful, she will definitely find a husband of her dreams!"

?

However, at the palace banquet that evening, the protagonists were the Marquis of Pingxi and his son, who were responsible for the riot on the Pingding border. Even though the Fifth Princess was dressed so stunningly, it did not cause much impact.

?

As the eunuch shouted, "Marquis Pingxi receives the order!"

?

"Pingxi Hou's son receives the order!"

?

After Pingxi Hou Zhou Zheng and his son knelt down, the eunuch began to announce the decree, "The Emperor decrees by the will of Heaven! Pingxi Hou has quelled the war and is a pillar of the country! He is rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 acres of fertile land!"

?

"The prince of Pingxi Marquis's Mansion has made great achievements in battle, so he is specially named Champion Marquis and given a number of rewards! This is my decree!"

?

Upon learning that Zhou Zimo had been named Marquis of Guanjun, the Fifth Princess was the first to step forward and congratulate him, "Great, Zimo, you have become the second Marquis of a different surname."

?

"Congratulations!"

?

Many people gathered around Marquis Pingxi to congratulate him.

?

However, Marquis Pingxi's expression was indifferent, and he did not show any joy just because his son was conferred the title of marquis.

?

Faced with everyone's congratulations, Zhou Zheng was neither sad nor happy. He calmly thanked them and then quietly retreated behind Zhou Zheng.

?

Immediately afterwards, the Fifth Princess came up to Marquis Pingxi.

?

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis. Two marquises in one family. This is extremely rare throughout history."

?

In front of His Majesty's favorite princess, Pingxi Hou had to perfunctorily answer, "Fifth Princess, you are joking. This is actually His Majesty's great favor."

?

However, even if the Fifth Princess wanted to perform well in front of Pingxi Marquis, who was known as the God of Death, she was frightened by his intimidating look without even getting angry.

?

At the same time, she secretly made up her mind, "From now on, I will make Zimo live with me in the Princess's Mansion, and never live with Pingxi Hou! I definitely can't stand facing his face all day long."

?

But the fifth princess forgot that Zhou Zimo never agreed to marry her.

?

Following closely, the second prince Zhao Mugao came over and clasped his fists towards the Marquis of Pingxi, "Congratulations, Marquis! Congratulations, Marquis!"

?

"I will definitely visit you someday to congratulate you, Lord!"

?

Zhou Zheng would naturally not accept the Second Prince's ill-intentioned words. "Second Prince, you are joking. You and I have nothing in common. There is no need to be so polite. Your Majesty's reward is enough."

?

What he meant was that no matter how good the gift from you, the Second Prince, is, he would not accept it.

?

Faced with Pingxi Hou's refusal, the second prince Zhao Mugao was not annoyed at all, "My Lord, are you sure you don't want to think about it carefully? I will not come to congratulate you easily!"

?

"Thank you for your kindness, Second Prince. I appreciate it!"

?

However, the Second Prince did not force it. "If that is the case, then I will not come here to offend you. I just hope that you will not regret it!"

?

After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Zheng gloomily, then strode away.

?

Zhou Zimo waited until the Second Prince left, then he came over immediately, "Why did the Second Prince come to see you alone? This Second Prince is a playboy by nature, and I have never heard of him having any dealings with the court officials, but he only came to see you, there must be something fishy about this!"

?

Zhou Zheng didn't say much about this. "Let's talk about it when we get back home. There are too many people here, so I won't talk about it anymore."

?

What Zhou Zheng didn't expect was that before he returned home, he received news on the way. He knew that the second prince was so angry and humiliated because of his refusal that he took action.

?

Zhou Zimo saw that Zhou Zheng looked unhappy. Although he was worried, he did not ask rashly. He decided to wait until he got back to discuss everything.

?

As soon as he returned to the Marquis' Mansion, Zhou Zimo saw Xie Xiangyu and Xie Liuzheng standing at the door, waiting for them.

?

Thinking about the sudden appearance of the Fifth Princess today, Zhou Zimo had not yet explained everything to Xie Liuzheng, so he hurriedly dismounted and walked towards Xie Liuzheng!

?

"Madam, why are you waiting here? The wind is cold and the dew is heavy. You'd better go in quickly and be careful not to catch a cold."

?

When Zhou Zheng saw Xie Xiangyu, he immediately dismounted and helped her walk inside.

?

Zhou Zimo took the opportunity to get close to Xie Liuzheng, "Miss Xie, I apologize for what happened during the day! I was not thoughtful enough, I hope Miss Xie will forgive me!"

?

"What happened during the day?" Xie Liuzheng asked back, then turned to Xie Xiangyu, not wanting to have any entanglement with Zhou Zimo.
