Chapter 172 The Maid Who Married in Place 6
Madam Hou took Sirong to a farther place and asked, "Did you see it?"
Sirong nodded: "I see."
Madam Hou looked at Sirong with red eyes: "From today on, you are the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, Shen Jingshu. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Don't worry, Madam!"
Sirong bowed deeply to the Marquis's wife without saying anything more.
She took the tea prepared by the maid beside her and walked into the front hall.
In the front hall, Prince Duan was still talking to the Marquis non-stop, "Marquis Shen's family is unfortunate to have such an unruly daughter. I'm sure it will be difficult for the girls in his mansion to get married in the future.
This prince also understands the difficulty that the Marquis is in, and feels pity for the parents in the world.
It would be best if the Marquis could personally cancel the marriage, but if that's not possible, it's not impossible to resolve it."
At this time, Lord Shen's face turned red with anger even though he had some Qi-nourishing skills. He didn't just throw the cup and chase the person away. The main reason was that his eldest daughter had indeed run away, and he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.
Although someone has sent back a message saying that the person has been found and is on his way back.
But he still felt uneasy until the person stood in front of him.
Before he went out to meet Prince Duan, he had already told his wife that he wanted the maid to replace Jingshu and marry into Prince Duan's mansion in the future.
I wonder if the lady will be able to explain his intentions to the maid after they come back.
Time was too tight and there was no time for him to meet alone with the little maid named Zhenrong.
I don’t know if the choice he made in a hurry was the right one.
The main reason was that the secret guard who came back to deliver the message told him that the little maid had killed Cheng Yuanzhi.
What was your mood at that time?
It was a relief! A very satisfying relief! And then there was the admiration. I had a hunch that this little girl was someone who could accomplish great things.
Be clear-headed, act decisively and be clear-headed.
These few cuts of hers saved Lord Shen a lot of trouble.
Originally, the Marquis sent the secret guards because he had no intention of leaving Cheng Yuanzhi alive.
The Marquis didn't even intend to spare the original owner's life.
Who knew that the original owner's brilliant move not only saved his own life, but also caught the attention of the old marquis.
He has been a shrewd and calculating person all his life, so how could he not see that everything that happened today was planned by Prince Duan.
To put it bluntly, Prince Duan was still too young, and what he did was full of loopholes and lacked any skill. But this was what made him even angrier.
This method, which used all kinds of tricks, almost completely ruined the reputation of the daughters of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
It's so stupid, vicious and disgusting.
The Queen Mother in the palace is related to the mother's family of Prince Duan.
This marriage was originally arranged by the mother of Prince Duan, who sought the imperial decree from the Queen Mother.
What he valued was his daughter's reputation for being kind and gentle in the capital, and also the fact that their two families had similar family backgrounds and were a good match.
Who knew that later on, this Prince Duan and a prostitute would end up like this.
When Lord Shen received the news, he didn't take it seriously. He was a man after all, so he could understand it.
What kind of big deal is this? A prostitute is just a plaything, how can you really marry her home and make her your legal wife?
As a result, many rumors came out later. Although he was unhappy about it, he didn't care too much.
In his opinion, in the end, after his daughter got married, he would just make her a concubine and compete with his own daughter for favor.
He would never shake his daughter's position. He believed that his daughter would be able to be a good consort under the guidance of his wife.
But he never expected that Prince Duan would do such a bold move to him.
After all, he is a prince raised in a noble family. How could he think of doing things in such a despicable way?
What about his upbringing? Has he learned all the principles of propriety, righteousness, benevolence, integrity, wisdom, and trustworthiness?
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he asked, "Then how does the prince want to solve this problem?"
When Prince Duan heard the old marquis ask him, he couldn't help but feel happy, and finally got to the point: "It's not impossible to marry your daughter, but let's forget about the eldest daughter.
After all, I guess you can't find where she is now.
I can marry another girl from your family, but she can only be my concubine. I will leave the position of principal wife to Liu Ruyi."
When the old marquis heard this, his hands were shaking with anger. He was about to kick the man out without caring about anything when he heard someone come in from outside.
"Father!"
Sirong carried the tea tray and bowed as she entered. The original owner's figure was very similar to Shen Jingshu's, and her appearance was because she always wore a hat when going out.
In addition, Sirong deliberately imitated Shen Jingshu's voice when she spoke, which made Lord Shen unable to react for a while and realized that this was not his daughter.
As for the Prince of Duan, he was even less recognized.
I was surprised to see Sirong coming in.
He pointed at Sirong very rudely: "Why are you here?"
Sirong slowly placed the newly served tea next to the Marquis's hand.
Then he slowly looked at Prince Duan and said, "Excuse me, Prince, if I am not at home, where should I be?
Just now I heard the prince talking nonsense outside the door. May I ask if he is hysterical? Do you need to ask a doctor to see you? "
Sirong's appearance disrupted Prince Duan's original rhythm. He panicked and loudly defended himself: "I'm not sick. I'm not sick. Don't talk nonsense!"
"Oh? If the prince is not mentally ill, then why did he come to my father late at night to question me, saying that I eloped with someone?
Do you know how important a girl's reputation is?
The prince is slandering me like this, do you have any evidence?"
As Sirong spoke, she moved closer to the prince, her whole body emitting a powerful aura and a sense of oppression, forcing Prince Duan to retreat repeatedly.
"Of course I have evidence! I!"
"Where is the evidence?" Sirong continued to approach.
"I! I! I received news that you eloped with someone." Prince Duan stuttered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
He had no evidence. His original plan was that the eldest daughter of the Marquis' Mansion would be taken away by Cheng Yuanzhi. If the Marquis' Mansion could not hand her over, the scandal of her elopement would naturally be confirmed.
Of course, he was not afraid if he was found. Miss Shen would be in a state of embarrassment at that time, and might even ask him directly to help her and Cheng Yuanzhi get together.
It would be easier to negotiate terms with the Marquis then.
In fact, Prince Duan knew about this marriage and he couldn't back out of it.
The relationship between the two families, the Empress Dowager's decree, and most importantly, the fact that his mother was not on his side this time.
