After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xiao Jiashan felt uncomfortable after leaving the palace.

He felt aggrieved.

I can't understand why Xiao Chengji is so favored by my father.

The death of Concubine Bo had ensured Xiao Chengji's wealth and glory for so many years. At this moment, Xiao Jiashan actually experienced what Xiao Qiru had once thought of.

——If only Concubine Bo were still alive.

A beauty is getting old and is definitely not as good as a young girl who has just entered the palace. No matter how favored she was when she was young, she is old now.

Men are all lustful. Once they have a new lover, who would still think about the old one?

Perhaps Xiao Chengji's fate will be the same as Xiao Qiru's, and the same as other cold-treated princes.

Xiao Jiashan asked the driver to go to the Duke of England's mansion.

Madam Zheng was dead, so he had to go and see her. On the way, he met the seventh prince Xiao Qirui, who went with Xiao Jiashan.

After Xiao Qirui got on Xiao Jiashan's carriage, he poured himself a cup of tea: "The weather has been warm recently. Fifth brother, tell me, Madam Zheng was fine that day, how come she suddenly died of illness? Is there any hidden story?"

Xiao Jiashan's face was gloomy and he said nothing.

Xiao Jiashan knew that it was the Queen Mother who did this.

The Queen Mother has always been so cruel and ruthless. Anyone she dislikes, even if they smile on the surface, will be killed in private.

Today, after Queen Zheng learned of Guan's death, she grabbed Xiao Jiashan's hand with a worried look on her face: "Shan'er, you must not marry your cousin. Otherwise, if you two have a child one day and you make the Queen Mother unhappy, she will let this cousin kill you and support your child to take the throne!"

The Queen Mother's methods were cruel and ruthless. Even the Queen was tired of her and wanted to break free from her control.

Xiao Qirui smiled and said, "Don't be upset, Fifth Brother, I was just kidding."

The two went to Zheng's house.

White silk was hung inside the Zheng Mansion, and everyone was in tears. Xiao Jiashan's two cousins ​​were locked up, and only the brothers from his second uncle's family, with whom he was not very close, entertained him.

During this period, Zheng's cousin, nicknamed Jiaolian, came out in a white dress, looking delicate and charming.

If you want to be pretty, be filial.

Zheng Jiaolian, dressed in white, looked exceptionally beautiful, like a water lily blooming quietly in a summer pond. She was so beautiful that she bowed to the two princes.

Xiao Jiashan nodded, but considering what Queen Zheng had said, he didn't say anything to her.

Zheng Can and Zheng Shu came out. Zheng Can was already old, and looked even more frail after this incident. He was still a little angry with Xiao Jiashan, so he came up to pay his respects.

Xiao Qirui hurried to help Zheng Can: "How can we do this? Uncle, aren't you shortening our lifespans?"

Zheng Can glanced at Xiao Qiru and asked Zheng Jiaolian to come forward and serve tea.

Zheng Jiaolian held up a covered bowl of tea and presented it to the nobles here one by one.

Zheng Can looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction.

This granddaughter was born to Zheng Can's illegitimate son, but she was extremely smart since she was young and had such a good appearance. Even the legitimate daughters of other families could not be half as good as Zheng Jiaolian.

Zheng Can originally wanted to find a good family for his granddaughter and marry her off in a grand manner.

However, he never expected that Xiao Jiashan was so ungrateful that he started to show off his power as a prince in front of his grandfather.

Without placing someone in Xiao Jiashan's room to allow Xiao Jiashan to have closer contacts with the Zheng family, Zheng Can would not be able to support him to take the position with peace of mind.

It just so happened that Jiaolian was good-looking and had a good temperament, ten or eight times better than that shameless girl from the Wei family. She was also devoted to the Zheng family, so it was most appropriate for her to be Xiao Jiashan's principal wife.

Xiao Jiashan didn't want to say much to Zheng Jiaolian in front of Zheng Can. After a few pleasantries, he and Xiao Qiru found an excuse to leave.

As soon as they left the Duke of Ying's mansion, Xiao Qirui smiled and said, "It seems that the old man wants to marry his granddaughter to my fifth brother to strengthen the relationship."

Xiao Jiashan asked: "What do you think?"

To be honest, Xiao Jiashan was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind at all.

He was worried that marrying Zheng's cousin would anger the Queen and that he would be controlled by the Queen Mother and the Zheng family. He would have to listen to the Zheng family in everything and be led by the nose by the Zheng family.

He was also worried that if he didn't marry his cousin from the Zheng family, the Zheng family would no longer support him and would not be as wholeheartedly helping him to take the throne as they had before.

Two thoughts kept fighting in his mind.

Xiao Jiashan occasionally thought about just making up his mind to marry her and let her and Wei Ruxuan check and balance each other.

He also thought that he was a prince, but he had to look at the Zheng family's faces, so he absolutely could not marry her.

Both ideas make sense. If you think about one today and that tomorrow, you will always regret it.

Xiao Qirui's eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled and said, "If you ask me, my third sister-in-law, Princess Qin, is a thousand times better than Miss Zheng. She is a truly stunning beauty. My fifth brother abandoned my third sister-in-law and chose Concubine Wei. It's obvious that Concubine Wei must have some outstanding qualities, much better than my third sister-in-law."

Xiao Jiashan felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife, and it hurt so much.

He looked dazed: "Yes, you are right... Wei is better than the Princess of Qin, much better. My original choice was right."

Maybe if he hadn't caused so many problems and ruined his engagement with the Wen family, he wouldn't be so conflicted today?

But there is no maybe in life.

Even if you realize that your choice was wrong, there is nothing you can do to undo it.

Xiao Jiashan felt that he couldn't go on like this. The current situation was like a trap for him and he had to find a way to climb out of it.

Something had to change for him.

The emperor's edict came down soon, and Wei Ruxuan was promoted to the main wife.

Seeing her laughing so hard that her eyes were narrowed into slits, Xiao Jiashan felt only disgust.

He felt that it shouldn't be like this, his candidate for wife should be dignified and virtuous.

Xiao Jiashan likes women who have affairs with him before marriage.

But now he doesn't like such a woman to be his wife.

Wei Ruxuan was overjoyed, and the way she looked at Xiao Jiashan was so sweet that it was almost tearing tears.

This is great.

Since she has become the main wife, when Xiao Jiashan becomes emperor in the future, she will be the rightful queen and will not have to rack her brains to climb up.

It is said that Zheng Can was very angry after learning about this matter.

Xiao Jiashan had no choice but to find two ginsengs from the warehouse and send them over.

The Zheng family is rich enough to rival a country, but they don't need these two ginsengs? Xiao Jiashan has been eating and taking things from the Zheng family over the years, and has accepted a lot of bribes. Maybe these two ginsengs were brought back from the Zheng family.

Xiao Jiashan comforted Zheng Can and said that his cousin Zheng would definitely find a good man to marry, and that he, as her cousin, would protect her in the future.

Unexpectedly, within two days, Zheng Can asked the Queen Mother to marry his granddaughter Zheng Jiaolian to the seventh prince Xiao Qirui as his principal wife, saying that the two were in love and a perfect match.

The cousin that Xiao Jiashan never married became Xiao Qirui's wife.
