In recent years, the royal prince's manor was not as prosperous as it appeared on the surface. Even in the past, the manor's expenses were very tight. However, at that time, the previous wangfei's dowry could be used. Ever since Zhao Yang married and took away a large portion of the dowry, the royal prince's manor's days were getting worse.
The second wang fei couldn't understand why the previous wang fei was willing to give all of the dowry to Zhao Yang and didn't leave much for her son. Otherwise, their junwang fu wouldn't be living like this. What was most hateful was that when Zhao Yang had married, she had sold most of her property and property for silver and taken it away. The few residences that were priceless were all guarded by the servants that the previous wang fei had given her. Even if she wanted to touch them, she couldn't do so.
Two days ago, she heard that Zhao Yang had returned and asked people to find out that this girl had become a widow. This was exactly what she wanted. If she brought Zhao Yang back to the royal prince's manor, she could also make Zhao Yang hand over all the dowry she had taken away. The royal prince's manor would not suffer a loss at all.
However, this girl looked even more cold and heartless than before. She didn't know if she could control her.
"Where did you come from, stinky girl? Is it your place, an outsider, to interfere in the affairs of our royal prince's manor?" The second wangfei saw that Royal Prince Chu Yang was staring at Ye Zhen and anger surged in her heart. She thought that Royal Prince Chu Yang had taken a fancy to Ye Zhen.
"I am an outsider, but do you think that you are not outsiders?" Ye Zhen glanced lightly at the second wangfei. Before this woman became the second wangfei, she had heard that she was very gentle and elegant. However, she didn't know that she was actually hiding a sinister heart. She only revealed her true colors after she became the second wangfei. Zhao Yang was sent to the Dark North Kingdom for a marriage alliance because of the second wangfei's contribution.
"Zhao Yang is the princess of the royal prince's manor. How can we be outsiders?" The second wangfei didn't want to completely break off relations with Zhao Yang. She looked at Zhao Yang gently, "Zhao Yang, we are all doing this for your own good. It's inconvenient for you to live alone outside and it's easy to cause trouble. With me and your older brother at home, no one dares to bully you."
"Haven't you always been the ones bullying me? What did you say when you coaxed me into going to the Dark North Kingdom for the marriage? If I didn't agree, you would cut off all ties with me and make it so that I would never be able to step into the junwang fu. I did agree, but I no longer have any relationship with the junwang fu. Don't expect me to go back and take care of the junwang fu. If you think I haven't made myself clear enough, I will go to the palace tomorrow to beg the Emperor and have him completely cut off all ties between me and the junwang fu. "Zhao Yang said coldly.
Chu Yang frowned and said, "Zhao Yang, you and I are siblings, why do you have to do this?"
Zhao Yang impatiently said, "Don't talk about siblings with me. I don't have a big brother who would betray his sister like you."
"You..." Chu Yang was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Yang.
Ye Zhen smiled at Chu Yang from the side. "Royal Prince Chu Yang is really filial. He cares more about his stepmother than his own sister."
Not knowing what Ye Zhen's words had touched the second princess's heart, she suddenly blushed with anger and glared fiercely at Ye Zhen. "Bitch, what did you say?"
Chu Yang was so frightened that he almost knelt down. He shouted at the second princess, "You shut up! Do you know who she is? "
The Second Princess was stunned. She probably didn't think that Chu Yang would dare to yell at her like this. She looked like she was completely dumbfounded. After a while, she said with a pale face, "Who is she? She's so amazing. Did your heart soften because she looks good?"
"Shut up!" Chu Yang was furious. "She is Lu Yaoyao, the future Empress."
"What?" The second princess was stunned. She looked at Ye Zhen in horror. This person was the Lu Yaoyao who was the talk of the capital?
Zhao Yang knew that Chu Yang had seen Ye Zhen. Afraid that he would see the clues, her tone became more and more impatient. "Do you have anything else? If you have something to say, then say it quickly. If not, then please leave. "
Chu Yang looked at his sister. "Zhao Yang!"
"My words should be very clear. There is no need to say anything more." Zhao Yang said expressionlessly.
The second princess said with a cold face, "Since you don't know what's good for you, then do as you please. Let's go."
"Zhao Yang, no matter when, big brother still hopes that you can return to the prince's mansion." Chu Yang looked at Zhao Yang and whispered.
A cold smile floated on the corner of Zhao Yang's mouth.
The second princess didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Zhen. She just looked at Zhao Yang with disgust and walked out of the hall without looking back.
Ye Zhen looked at their backs and walked to Zhao Yang's side. She whispered, "Did you see it?"
"What?" Zhao Yang asked, puzzled. What did she see?
"Don't you think the relationship between the second princess and the prince is very strange?" Although they were not biological mother and son, the relationship between the two was too strange. They were said to be stepmother and son, but those who didn't know would think they were husband and wife.
Zhao Yang didn't notice it at first, but after being reminded by Ye Zhen, she remembered that Chu Yang had just yelled at the second princess. Her eyes flashed with surprise. "In the past, the second princess often went to the prince's mansion. Chu Yang was very good to her, but … it's impossible, it's too shocking!"
"I didn't say anything. Anyway, only they know what's going on." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"In fact, it's not impossible. My big brother can even betray his own sister. What else can't he do?" Zhao Yang said sarcastically.
Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "If you remarry in the future, they won't stop you, right?"
"It has nothing to do with them. What right do they have to stop me?" Zhao Yang said lightly. "Remarrying is my own business."
"That's good. However, with their virtue, they will certainly intervene in the future. You must have a countermeasure to deal with it." Ye Zhen said.
Zhao Yang laughed at herself. "If I don't have a little silver on me, I'm afraid they won't know I'm in the capital."
"I remember that this second princess is a relative of your mother?" Ye Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Humph, she's my mother's cousin. Her family was ruined and she had nowhere to go, so she came to seek refuge. My mother raised a white-eyed wolf!" Zhao Yang said coldly.
Ye Zhen said, "I've inquired about it. The prince's mansion hasn't been doing very well these years. Your big brother's salary is not high, let alone any benefits. The prince's mansion isn't small. In short, life is not as good as before. Today, they came to you not for you, but for your dowry."
Zhao Yang smiled indifferently. "I knew it would be like this."
"Do you want to find a few guards? I'm afraid they will come again." Ye Zhen asked.
"There's no need, your father has already left some people here with me. I reckon it won't be long before he finds out." Zhao Yang said with some embarrassment.
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "Then I won't do anything unnecessary. It's getting late, I'll go back first."
