Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved
Chapter 119 Accepting a concubine
After a long investigation, he found out who was harming him. It turned out to be Han Liang, and he actually regarded the act of giving his wife as a great gift.
Shen Zhaoyan was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Han Liang really thinks that other people are just like him, thinking about the matters between men and women all day long.
But it was useless to blame anyone now. Things had already happened, and the first thing he had to do now was to appease the Yan family and ask them to suppress the matter so as not to affect his wedding with the Xiangfu.
He immediately ordered Dao Ji, "Everyone in Guanshui Pavilion should keep their mouths shut. Also, prepare some things and go to the Yan Mansion to propose marriage. Say that the prince wants to take Miss Yan Jiu as his concubine."
Dao Ji was stunned and almost couldn't believe what he heard. The prince actually wanted to take a concubine of the Yan family as his concubine, and that was before he married Miss Xiao.
Shen Zhaoyan also saw Dao Ji's hesitation and surprise. He frowned and said, "I would like to give some money and get rid of the matter. In the previous Yan family, this was a great idea, but the current Yan family is not suitable. The thirteenth girl of the Yan family is favored by the emperor, and she is sharp-tongued. If she says something in front of the emperor, the marriage that I have finally obtained will be ruined. I will not allow the marriage with the Xiangfu to have any risks. Besides, this way, the Yan family will be blameless and I can use the Yan family for my own benefit. It's killing two birds with one stone."
Dao Ji listened to Shen Zhaoyan's analysis and realized that he was narrow-minded, but he still had a question.
"Will Miss Xiao be unhappy?"
Dao Ji said being unhappy was the lightest thing to say. According to Xiao Yizhen's personality, she would be extremely furious when she found out that Shen Zhaoyan had married a concubine instead of her as his principal wife.
As a concubine, Yan Ru is afraid that she will suffer a bad fate.
Shen Zhaoyan's face turned cold, and his sharp eyes swept over Dao Ji, "Does my taking a concubine depend on her mood?"
Dao Ji's face was filled with fear, knowing that he had overstepped his authority. Not to mention that the prince was a royal prince, even in an ordinary family, it was normal for him to have three wives and four concubines.
He bowed his head and clasped his hands, saying, "I'll do it right away."
Shen Zhaoyan closed his eyes and thought about how to explain the matter of taking a concubine to his mother.
Han Liang had quietly left Guanshui Pavilion long before he sent Yan Ru to Shen Zhaoyan's room, so when Guanshui Pavilion was sealed off by people from Prince Xiang's Mansion, Han Liang was not there.
Han Liang, who was already at home at this time, had prepared everything and was waiting for the news outside to spread so that he could go to the Yan family to cancel the engagement.
But before the news could spread, the guards from Prince Xiang's mansion arrived.
The guard was serious and rushed into the Han family with a group of soldiers.
Han Qi didn't know what had happened yet. When he saw that they were people from Prince Xiang's residence, he didn't reprimand the gatekeeper for not guarding well. He just asked respectfully, "What brings you to my residence?"
The leading guard directed the people behind him to carry in a long row of red boxes and placed them neatly in front of Han Qi and his son.
"Master Han, Master Han, this is the betrothal gift you gave to the Ninth Miss of the Yan Mansion. It has now been fully returned, along with the marriage certificate."
As he said this, he handed the red marriage certificate in his hand to his subordinate and presented it to Han Qi.
Han Qi was shocked. "Why is this?"
Han Liang already had the answer in his mind and was secretly delighted.
The palace guard said, "Now that the betrothal gifts and marriage certificate have been returned, the engagement of General Han Yan's family is void."
"What! What do you mean the engagement is void? My son and Miss Yan are going to get married soon, how can they cancel the engagement? Besides, if the engagement is really cancelled, it shouldn't be done by the Prince Xiang's Mansion."
The palace guard sneered, "Lord Han, this is wrong. Now Miss Yan Jiu is already the concubine of Prince Xiang. Why can't we, the palace, take care of the cancellation of the engagement?"
"Prince Xiang's concubine!" Han Qi widened his eyes, looking as if he had heard it wrong.
"That's right. We'll take our leave now that our work is done."
A large group of people evacuated Prince Xiang's Mansion in a hurry.
From beginning to end, the Han family's gatehouse was useless. Compared with the tall and strong guards of the palace, the servants were as obedient as quails.
Although Han Qi was shocked, he was not stupid. Just as the leading guard walked out of the gate of Han Mansion, Han Qi shouted, "Wait!"
The leading guard paused and turned around, "Master Han, is there anything else?"
Han Qi walked towards the guards quickly, with an angry look on his face. "The marriage between our Han and Yan families was decided years ago. Now that Prince Xiang wants to marry a concubine, he can marry anyone he wants. Why does he have to snatch someone else's wife? Even if you are a prince, you have to consider human ethics."
The guards seemed to have heard a huge joke.
His face was full of sarcasm. If other people who didn't know the truth were asked this question by Han Qi, they might feel ashamed. However, he was the one who verified the news that Han Liang handed his wife over to the Han family, and he was worried that he would not have the opportunity to satirize the Han family.
"Speaking of human relations, I have to ask you, Master. Since Master Han has given Miss Nine to our Lord, our Lord has decided to give Miss Nine a status. That is because our Lord is kind-hearted. Master Han, please don't confuse right and wrong and ruin our Lord's reputation."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and left, leaving Han Qi standing stiffly on the spot, and Han Liang who had been petrified.
When Han Liang was planning this, he thought about the consequences. If Yan Ru was given to King Xiang by him, King Xiang would abandon her after one night. However, Yan Ru, as a woman, had an affair with someone else, and he could use this as an excuse to cancel the engagement. In this way, he could both avenge the damage to his reputation and break off the engagement.
But what he didn't expect was that not only did King Xiang not dislike Yan Ru, but he also wanted to marry her, a concubine.
How could Yan be so virtuous and capable that she could win the favor of King Xiang!
Han Liang's face turned blue and purple, and he wanted to curse loudly. His plan actually became a stepping stone for Yan Ru to rise to the top. It was really outrageous.
Han Liang was secretly feeling angry and annoyed, and didn't notice Han Qi walking towards him.
Han Qi raised his hand and slapped Han Liang in the face, "What have you done!"
Han Liang's head was buzzing and his face was burning with pain. He was so angry and in pain that he started talking without thinking.
"So what if I gave her to the King of Xiang! She hooked up with the King of Xiang in just one night. No, I don't think so. She must have hooked up with the King of Xiang a long time ago, this bitch!"
"Pa" another slap, Han Liang's face was slapped to the side.
Han Qi's hands were shaking, and he was furious at Han Liang's outspokenness. How could he raise such a stupid son?
"Shut up, she's already the concubine of Prince Xiang. Since you didn't want to marry her, you should just cancel the engagement. Who are you trying to disgust by using such dirty means? Just be thankful for this result!"
Han Liang couldn't see the problem clearly. Han Qi had been in the officialdom for so many years, so how could he be a confused person?
She was just a minor concubine, but she could make the Yan family grateful and preserve her good reputation. However, both the Han and Yan families were completely finished.
And their Han family had completely lost any chance with King Xiang.
