"What? You joined hands with Wu Yuanshuang and wrote the marriage contract without permission." In the Village Mo, Wu Meiniang was furious.
"I did it for your own good. You are almost 20 years old. It will be too late if you don't get married. Besides, Prince Jin is not good enough for you. How can you be so picky?" Mrs. Yang retorted.
Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Master changed the laws of the Tang dynasty by himself. Besides the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, I am also free to get married. As long as I don't sign the marriage contract, no one can force me to get married."
"You are unfilial. How dare you disobey your mother …" Mrs. Yang said angrily.
Wu Meiniang said lightly, "I have been taking care of my mother since I was a child. No one in the world dares to say that I am unfilial. Master has allowed me to decide my own marriage. You don't have to interfere in it in the future."
Mrs. Yang was speechless. Since Wu Meiniang became the disciple of Mo Jiazi, she began to take on the responsibility of supporting the family. Especially after the invention of the silver mirror, the life of the mother and daughter improved greatly. It was even better than when they were in the Wu family. Mrs. Yang's words had no effect on Wu Meiniang. There was only one person who could control Wu Meiniang, and that was Mo Jiazi. However, Mo Jiazi just let her do whatever she wanted.
Wu Meiniang left the Village Mo angrily and went straight to Duke Ying's Mansion in Chang 'an City. Wu Yuanshuang knew that she had angered Wu Meiniang and had disappeared.
"The monk can run away, but the temple can't run away with him!"
Wu Meiniang sneered. As the Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo family, she knew the properties of the Qian family in Chang 'an City very well. She didn't calm down until she smashed the stores in person.
"Pass down my order. From now on, the Mo Family will try their best to attack the business of the Qian Family, the Duke of Chang 'an. I want Wu Yuanshuang to know the consequences of scheming against me." Wu Meiniang said coldly.
As the Eldest Senior Sister of the Mo Family, she usually acted on behalf of her teacher and had great power in her hands. In Chang 'an, there were few men who could compare with her, let alone women. This was also the reason why she looked down on the men in Chang' an. At the same time, it was also the reason why she was unwilling to accept Li Zhi. She had grown up to be an eagle and could soar to her heart's content. However, she was unwilling to enter the birdcage and live the life of a canary.
After venting her anger, Wu Meiniang felt a little better. She went to Yu Zhuangyuan Restaurant alone, depressed.
"Mo Clan's Eldest Senior Sister is here!"
"In a few days, she will be the future Princess Consort of Jin."
…
When the diners of Yu Zhuangyuan Restaurant saw Wu Meiniang enter, they immediately began to discuss in low voices. Even though their voices were very soft, they still continuously passed into Wu Meiniang's ears.
"Noisy!"
Wu Meiniang snorted coldly.
The diners could not help but smile embarrassedly and then stopped their comments.
Wu Meiniang came to a table by the window with ease. Mo Jiazi, the restaurant's Brother, quickly served the delicacies. However, Wu Meiniang did not have much appetite. After eating a little, she put down her chopsticks.
"What an empress appearance. Unfortunately, she is a woman. If she were a man, she would have made great achievements." At a table not far away, the master and disciple of the School of Yin-Yang in disguise were quietly looking at Wu Meiniang. The young master sighed with emotion. Wu Meiniang acted valiantly and even he could not help but admire her.
"If she were not such a person, how could she become the influential person who could pry the fate of the Tang dynasty?" Yin-yang Zi sighed. He looked at Wu Meiniang and then looked at his disciple. He could not help but feel worried about the future of the School of Yin-Yang.
Wu Meiniang seemed to have noticed and suddenly turned her head to look. The master and disciple hurriedly looked away and pretended that nothing had happened.
Wu Meiniang gained nothing and was feeling frustrated. Suddenly, Yu Zhuang Yuan Restaurant became quiet and she saw a gentle and virtuous woman walking into the restaurant leisurely.
The beautiful woman looked around and looked up at Wu Meiniang who was alone in front of the clinical table. She revealed a charming smile and stepped forward.
"Xiao Hui 'er greets elder sister." The woman approached and bowed to Wu Meiniang.
"Xiao … the descendant of the Xiao family of Lanling?" Wu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and said.
"Elder sister is indeed smart. You deserve to be the person who can win the heart of Prince Jin. Hui 'er just arrived in Chang' an City and immediately rushed over to greet elder sister. I hope elder sister will not dislike me." Xiao Hui 'er covered her cherry mouth lightly. Her every move showed the etiquette and demeanor of an aristocratic family.
"This woman's appearance is indescribably noble!" The master of the School of Yin-Yang exclaimed.
Yin-yang Zi shook his head and said, "Compared to the Empress, she is far from being a concern."
As expected, Wu Meiniang sneered and said, "You and I have just met for the first time. You can't call me sister."
Xiao Hui 'er did not care about Wu Meiniang's alienation. Instead, she smiled and said, "Not to mention that elder sister is a few years older than me, I should call you elder sister. In the future, when we enter the Prince Jin Mansion together, elder sister will be worthy of the title of Princess Jin. I should call you elder sister for life."
Xiao Hui 'er looked sweet, but there was a hidden sharpness in her words. She mocked Wu Meiniang for being older.
Wu Meiniang looked at Xiao Hui 'er's beautiful face and sneered, "If you were born in the harem, you would definitely be an expert in fighting for favor. However, the days of a group of women fighting for favor and beauty around a man have never happened to the women of the Mo family. This is because the women of the Mo family can only have one husband. They will never lose themselves for a man."
"They will not lose themselves!" Xiao Hui 'er could not help but be absent-minded. She was the descendant of the Lanling Xiao family and was born in a prestigious family. How would she be willing to share a husband with others? However, for the mission of the family, she could only compromise.
"What a bunch of nonsense. You're merely the daughter of a nouveau riche who was lucky enough to be taken in by Marquis Mo, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly? Could it be that the rules of your Mo Clan are superior to those of the Royal Clan?" As she spoke, another extremely beautiful yet somewhat overbearing beauty arrogantly walked over.
"Who are you?" Wu Meiniang did not even look at her and said with contempt.
"I am Wang Qiang, the legitimate daughter of the fifth branch of the Wang family of Taiyuan, the head of the Five Surnames and Seven Watches," Wang Qiang said proudly. She was dressed gorgeously and her appearance was exquisite and flawless. Her birth was even more noble. Only the arrogance on her face slightly destroyed her beauty.
"The daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family." Xiao Hui 'er frowned. She originally thought that there was no opponent other than Wu Meiniang. However, she did not expect that even the legitimate daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family would come to fight for Prince Jin's consort. Moreover, her family background was better than hers. This made her somewhat lacking in confidence.
"The appearance of a female empress." Yin-yang Zi could not help but sigh when he saw Wang Qiang's appearance. Prince Jin, Li Zhi, indeed had the aura of an emperor. There were actually so many women with the appearance of wealth entangling him.
"So what if you are the legitimate daughter of the Wang family of Taiyuan? Other than the identity of the Taiyuan Wang family, what else do you have? Aside from this identity, can you survive in Chang 'an City for three days? The women of the Mo Family are self-reliant and independent. They work just like the men. There isn't a single woman who doesn't need a man to support her. Even without a man, the women of the Mo Family can survive. This is the reason why the women of the Mo Family have the confidence to insist on monogamy. As for you, you can't live without a man. You can only depend on him and rely on his love to obtain him. You even don't hesitate to fight with your lives. Since ancient times, no matter if it's a harem fight or a wealthy family's house, the fight for favor is bloody and ugly.
Xiao Hui 'er and Wang Qiang could not help but turn pale and their bodies staggered. They were from a rich and powerful family and naturally knew how tragic the outcome of losing favor was. Not to mention that they were well-read and knew how dangerous the harem fights in history were. At this moment, they were the daughters of a proud family and did not know how they would end up in the future.
"As expected, the appearance of the empress is still not enough to fight the appearance of the empress." Yin-yang Zi sighed.
"Elder sister, don't scare me. In the future, when we enter the Jin Palace together, we will be a family. Naturally, we will get along well. There is no such thing as fighting for favor." Xiao Hui 'er changed the topic and said with a smile.
"That's right. Speaking of which, the Wang family and the Xiao family have a marriage alliance. Hui 'er and I are also cousins. This time, we are even closer. "Wang Qiang also reacted and added.
During the conversation, the two saw that Wu Meiniang's words were sharp. They actually had the tendency to join forces to deal with Wu Meiniang.
"This is the fight for favor in the harem. It is comparable to the Records of the Three Kingdoms. It is indeed exciting. Unfortunately, Mei Niang will not have the chance to experience it!" Wu Meiniang slowly got up and left the two girls with a suave back view.
The two women's expressions immediately turned ugly. They had also read the Records of the Three Kingdoms before. Their current situation was also that of Shu and Wu joining forces to fight against Cao Wei. Unfortunately, Wu Meiniang's Cao Wei did not play her cards according to common sense.
After Wu Meiniang left, Xiao Hui 'er and Wang Qiang looked at each other and couldn't help but snort. The strong sisterhood from before suddenly disappeared.
