Chapter 176 The Maid Who Married in Place 10
Although it was covered up by the original owner at the time, it could not withstand scrutiny.
In this incident, not only did the original owner suffer a bad fate and lose his life, but the Marquis' Mansion was also implicated.
At that time, the old marquis gave up a large portion of his interests to Prince Duan, and only then did the matter settle down.
Of course, the eldest daughter who lived in the Marquis's family home could only find a similar family in the local area, quietly married, and never dared to return to the capital.
This was also a knot in the original owner's heart. Anyuan Marquis Mansion was the place that gave the original owner a few years of warmth.
Even though she always complains about the eldest lady being stupid, it is this eldest lady who always warms her.
She was very upset because she failed to complete the task assigned by the Marquis, which led to the arrival of Sirong and others.
After the original owner married, she never consummated her marriage with Prince Duan, which was the crux of the matter. One of the original owner's wishes was to have a child, and it didn't matter who the father was.
But on the surface, it must be the child of Prince Duan, and then find a way to get rid of this prince. As for Liu Ruyi, it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive, but she must be disgraced and suffer.
After hearing Sirong's words and Zhenrong's wish, Muchen was so scared that he jumped up from the ground.
Mother Cheng was frightened as well. After comforting her, Muchen walked outside the dilapidated temple and began to talk to Sirong about the issue of having a child.
"Is it necessary to give birth? You haven't even married me yet, and you're going to have to worship heaven and earth and give birth to someone else's child. I don't agree!"
Although Sirong was talking to Muchen, she couldn't see him in person, so she didn't see Muchen circling anxiously at the door of the dilapidated temple.
"Don't worry, the wedding is still half a year away. Take Mother Cheng back to her hometown first and settle her down. Then we can discuss the marriage."
Hearing Sirong say this, Muchen's eyes rolled and he stopped dwelling on this topic.
The next day, the old Marquis Anyuan went to Prince Duan's Mansion as expected.
When he left, his face was flushed with rosy light, probably because he had just returned from his visit to Prince Duan.
From then on, Sirong lived in the eldest lady's original courtyard, and followed the people arranged by the marquis's wife to learn some music, chess, calligraphy, painting and other knowledge that the ladies of the royal family needed to learn.
During the period leading up to his wedding, Prince Duan was not very content.
After Liu Ruyi was redeemed by him from Hongxiuzhao, he arranged for her to be the concubine's daughter of a minor official.
With this status, she still doesn't have the qualifications to be the prince's wife, but this is the best status that Prince Duan can find for her now.
After all, the title of Crown Prince sounds nice, but he has no real power in his hands.
Officials in the capital usually give the Crown Prince some conveniences for the sake of Prince Duan's Mansion.
But recently, Prince Duan has been fighting against Prince Duan and Princess Duan for Liu Ruyi.
The officials below are not in a position to help the prince much. The old Prince Duan looks quite healthy now. It is estimated that it will take a few years before the Prince Duan can take over the Prince Duan Palace.
It would not be appropriate for them to help the Crown Prince and Prince Duan too early.
Liu Ruyi had no other choice. At that time, her mother asked her to choose one of the young men in the capital who liked her as her future husband.
It took her a long time to choose before she decided on the one who was Prince Duan.
There are many powerful people in the capital, and there are also many young and promising people who are smarter and more capable than Prince Duan.
But they are not as stupid as Prince Duan, and they won’t be obsessed with love.
She can clearly understand the importance of family background and status. Of course, there are also some second-generation rich people who are very interested in her.
But most of them are illegitimate sons of the family, and their elders deliberately cultivate their dissolute personalities.
There are many brothers in the family, but who is better than Prince Duan, the only one in the family.
Although the Prince of Duan does not have much power now, when the old prince passes away one day, the entire Prince of Duan’s Mansion will be his.
The prince never believed that Shen Jingshu did not elope with Cheng Yuanzhi, whom he arranged, and since she could not enter the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, he had been arranging people to look for Cheng Yuanzhi's whereabouts.
It was not until the old marquis had someone spread false information, making Prince Duan believe that Cheng Yuanzhi had mistaken Shen Jingshu for a young lady and tricked her away with the maidservant beside her, that he withdrew the people who were looking for Muchen.
I don't know how many times I cursed Cheng Yuanzhi in private, but it was useless. He even admitted his mistake of kidnapping someone and ruined his good deeds.
Although he still did not give up, Sirong stayed at Anyuan Marquis's mansion and refused to go out. She turned down all the banquets and social events on the pretext that she was marrying in his place.
As a result, he had no chance to insert another person.
However, Liu Ruyi had already been taken back to live in Prince Duan's Mansion, which was considered a small step towards success.
Princess Duan had no other choice. If she didn't let him bring her back, her son would not come home. She was really afraid that her son would run away with Liu Ruyi one day, which would be even more troublesome.
Prince Duan wanted to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother to revoke her decision, but how could the Princess Duan agree to him?
As someone from the royal family, the imperial decree spoken by you cannot be withdrawn just by a word of disapproval, not to mention that you had to go to the palace to request for this imperial decree yourself.
So until the wedding, Prince Duan was imprisoned in the mansion and was not allowed to go out.
The prince, who couldn't go out, stayed at home with Liu Ruyi every day. The two of them were very affectionate and spent some time in their own world.
Until the day of the wedding, the prince refused to wear a formal suit or go out to pick up the bride.
He said that he would never worship heaven and earth with anyone other than Liu Ruyi, unless Liu Ruyi was promoted to concubine today.
When Princess Duan was extremely angry, Muchen, with a confusion talisman on her face, appeared in the prince's room. After knocking him unconscious with a knife, she put on the wedding dress for him and went to the front hall.
The bride-picking process went smoothly until the newlyweds were sent to the bridal chamber.
At the previous banquet, the prince and princess helped to socialize, and Mu Chen did not go out for any social events.
After sending away the people from the bridal chamber, Mu Chen solemnly took off Sirong's veil and drank the wedding wine before leaving.
When the prince was knocked unconscious, the princess was beside him. Mu Chen used a confusing talisman to make the princess think that he was a secret guard in the palace, who was just wearing a mask to marry the prince.
At this time, the princess's men had already carried the unconscious prince over.
Muchen could only leave the bridal chamber first, and wait until there was no one around before finding a way to get in.
When Muchen and Cheng's mother returned to their hometown, they used silver to pave the way, and the new identity permit was processed smoothly.
In order to change his identity, Muchen changed his name to Cheng Muchen.
This time, Muchen settled Cheng's mother in his hometown, and came here as a student from the south to take the imperial examination in Beijing.
