Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Zhang Yumo had already changed her clothes and put on her makeup, and was waiting outside the screen with Jiang Rumeng. She was confused by what she heard and thought to herself: The injuries on his body were caused by a beating. Who was so cruel to beat him, and he was willing to take this beating?

Jiang Rumeng smiled and said, "Don't think too much, Miss Zhang. My elder brother is a good man, but he had a bad fate when he was young."

"How do you explain this?" she said.

Jiang Rumeng said, "In short, my elder brother is not the kind of person who breaks his heart. If he is willing to tell you in the future, you will understand that everything is fate. My elder brother is worried. Miss Zhang is well-educated and sensible. You should be more considerate of him. It has not been easy for him to be alone these years. He has to concentrate on his studies and take care of the family.

It was the third sister who let him go out and explore the world like a little adult. Otherwise, with his talent and knowledge, he would have become an official long ago and might have achieved something great. He would not have been preparing to take part in the imperial examination now.

There are gains and losses, and there are gains and losses. No matter where you go in life, there will always be a new chapter and new opportunities. Now that he is appreciated by Prince Heng, maybe this is an opportunity."

"Sister Rumeng, I understand. I will never drag down Mr. Jiang. I will treat him well." Zhang Yumo's eyes were serious and firm.

Jiang Rumeng said, "What's the use of being a burden or not? Husband and wife should tolerate, understand and support each other. You have accepted Jin Yan's engagement token, and now you are considered his fiancée. Why do you still call him Young Master Jiang? Calling him Jin Yan is more intimate."

Zhang Yumo's cheeks flushed, "Yes, I understand, Sister Rumeng."

"Call me Second Sister! It makes me seem more intimate."

"Second sister." Zhang Yumo smiled sweetly. When she met Princess Heng in the future, could she call her third sister in private?

It turns out that this kind of address really makes us feel like a family.

Jiang Rumeng particularly liked Zhang Yumo, and whispered, "Actually, my elder brother is very easy to coax. We women shouldn't act pretentiously in front of men. We should learn to act coquettishly. Women who know how to act coquettishly have the best luck..."

Zhang Yumo was stunned when she heard this, thinking that Jiang Rumeng and her husband must have a very good relationship, but she didn't know that her husband was actually a henpecked husband.

With her personality, she will never become a henpecked wife to Jiang Jinyan, or even become a husband-dominated wife.

-

At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Fenghua returned to the banquet to deal with the Li and Su families. She couldn't let these two families make up stories about the Jiang family in front of everyone.

Just now, Zhang Yumo was in danger of life or death, and she didn't want to argue with them, but now she is not so easy to talk to.

As soon as she returned to the banquet, she heard Madam Li, with a smiling face, making up stories about her elder brother and Zhang Yumo in a very vivid way. Old Madam Su, who was already in her sixties or seventies, also followed suit, saying some incoherent things that made everyone listen attentively.

When everyone saw Jiang Fenghua coming, their voices became much quieter.

The Fourth Princess and the Third Princess sat upright on one side. The Second Princess didn't come for some reason. They were also listening attentively. After all, they had seen it with their own eyes, so they didn't want to interrupt and say anything.

Seeing her coming, the Third Princess took the initiative to say, "Fenghua, sit here."

Jiang Fenghua had a dignified and elegant demeanor. She was calm and reserved, and sat down at the table where people were chatting enthusiastically, with an imposing manner.

She stared at Madam Li with a cold look in her eyes. "Mr. Li bullied a prostitute. If it was a decent girl, Mr. Li would have to spend years in jail. If it was a noble girl, Mr. Li would have lost his life. What a pity..."

She hesitated and said, "I heard that the woman was tortured beyond recognition and nearly lost her life. It's a pity that Master Li had this habit at such a young age and was not punished by the law in the end."

The old matter was brought up again, and Mrs. Li Shangshu's face turned red with anxiety. Did she mean that the Li family bullies others by taking advantage of their power and has no regard for the law?

She was not afraid of Jiang Fenghua, a young girl. She was just lucky and had a coquettish face. She happened to be favored by the Queen and was married to Prince Heng. Otherwise, it would be a dream for her to climb up to the royal family with a small tutor's mansion.

But flowers do not stay in bloom forever, people do not stay perfect forever, and men always get tired of the old and love the new. Did she think that she would be safe forever as soon as she sat on the throne of Princess Heng?

Still too young!

Mrs. Li would certainly not openly frame Princess Heng, after all, she is now Princess Heng.

She said, "What does the princess mean by this? It was Young Master Jiang who beat my son. He hurt people first, so he should be in jail. He also flirted with unmarried women. He is really unworthy of being a scholar. It seems that the Jiang family is not strict. If it weren't for Prince Heng's intercession, Young Master Jiang would still be in jail now." Her son was just playing with a prostitute, a cheap and shabby thing. Isn't the purpose of prostitutes to play? Who at this banquet would say a word for prostitutes? Did Jiang Fenghua think that she could make decisions for the world by becoming the Princess of Heng? Was she overestimating herself?

Jiang Fenghua was neither angry nor upset, and her face did not blush. Her eyes were firm and calm, and she said lightly, "Oh, everyone seems to have forgotten the missing girl case that the Yang family committed half a year ago. Madam Li protects and dotes on her son so much. I wonder if Master Li wants to follow suit! As the saying goes, you can tell a person's future from the age of three and his old age from the age of seven. Master Li is already in his twenties and he is still like this. Which girl will dare to marry him in the future?" What she meant was that if Li Cheng could abuse and humiliate a girl from a brothel, it was inevitable that he would abuse his future wife. He is still like this at such a young age and he can't change.

Her voice was cold and deep, intimidating without being angry.

Mrs. Li trembled with fear when she thought of the Yang family being ransacked. She explained, "My Cheng'er is not like that. It was the brothel girl who seduced her herself."

These words are not spoken with full confidence, as the incident has become so serious. Besides, there are no secrets among the wealthy and powerful families, and they love to gossip and watch the fun.

At this time, everyone looked at Mrs. Li with a changed look, as if she were a plague god.

Jiang Fenghua added, "As a woman, Madam Li, please be more kind in your words!" Her words were ambiguous, and she was also speaking for Zhang Yumo. Zhang Yumo was the daughter of Duke Zhang's mansion after all, and she had just broken off the engagement with her son, but she was humiliating her like this.

Knowing Li Cheng's character, anyone would choose to cancel the engagement. Are they stupid?

"You..." Mrs. Li was so angry that her face turned blue. She was so angry that she couldn't utter a word.

She still refused to give in, "Mrs. Li, how could you describe my eldest brother's act of saving people as such a despicable act? If it was your daughter who was about to drown, would you just watch her drown? Your daughter is so unlucky to have such a cruel mother like you. Even if you want to love your son, you shouldn't ignore your daughter! They come from the same womb..." Mrs. Li was famous for her preference for boys over girls, and she did not forget to sow discord between her and her daughter.

The Third Princess was so surprised to see that she was so talkative and not gentle or delicate at all, and was much better than her, that her jaw almost dropped.

The Third Princess then had the opportunity to interrupt and act as a peacemaker, "Oh, it's all thanks to Young Master Jiang who saved Miss Zhang. Fortunately, he publicly promised to marry Miss Zhang. This is really a blessing in disguise. It has led to a marriage, which is a good thing!" After all, she is the wife of the Shangshu.

Old Madam Su was smart. When she saw Madam Li being criticized, she also knew that Jiang Fenghua was not someone who would let it go, so she chose not to say anything.

Even though she knew she would be cuckolded, she would not insist on marrying Zhang Yumo.

Jiang Fenghua was not going to let her go. It was all the old woman's fault. She smiled and said, "I heard that Madam Su has proposed marriage to Duke Zhang's mansion. I wonder which grandson of yours the old lady is going to propose to!"
