Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 186 I Will Destroy Her

Upon hearing this, Madam Ruan's eyes were dazed for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "Well, that's the Crown Prince's fiancée. How could an ordinary man be so lucky to sleep with the Crown Princess and get two thousand taels of silver?"

"Besides, although I don't want to admit it, Gu Qinghe's complexion is indeed stunningly beautiful. In such a place of beauty, we should naturally sleep a little longer, not to mention, there are two of us here." Mrs. Ruan said this with a strange smile on her face.

A gust of wind blew, and the lights dimmed. Mother Zhao looked at the lady's face and felt a little scared.

"Ma'am, stop talking."

"What's the big deal? Rich families often have fun like this." Madam Ruan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Ah, I had no choice. Who told her to snatch the Crown Prince from my daughter? I can only apologize for that."

Then there was another sound, like crying but not crying, like laughing but not laughing.

"Excuse me, Sir Chen, can we arrest the person? I think we have all the witnesses and evidence." Xiao Yifei asked Chen Yuan beside him, "This is my first time lying on the roof. I'm not very experienced and my legs are numb."

At this moment, Chen Yuan was looking down in shock. Madam Ruan, do you really not want to live anymore?

Also, what's with Miss Gu insisting on competing with her daughter for the Crown Prince? It's obviously the Crown Prince who insists on competing with others for Miss Gu, right?

"I'm afraid of missing out on the Crown Prince's important matter." Chen Yuan replied. He was originally here watching the correspondence between Ruan Zhou and Prince Jin, but today he saw such a shocking scene in the backyard.

"Not really. Arresting only Madam Ruan and leaving Ruan Zhou alone would only make him relax his guard." Xiao Yifei said, "Let's hurry up. The Crown Prince's rage is still raging. He doesn't want to play it long and has already killed two people."

"Okay, catch him." Chen Yuan nodded in agreement, then jumped down first and stretched out his hand to catch Xiao Yifei.

"Get lost, I have skills."

Chen Yuan snorted and laughed when he heard what Xiao Yifei said, "Come on, if there is a chance in the future and the Crown Prince is willing, you might be defeated by the Crown Princess."

Xiao Yifei flew into a rage, pointing at Chen Yuan and angrily yelling, "Don't think that just because you're the prince's study partner, I'll let you do whatever you want!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan just shook his head and laughed. Although he had only met Gu Qinghe once, he could tell that her basic skills were very solid. Just by looking at the way she walked, it was obvious that Miss Gu's lower body was much more stable than Xiao Yifei's.

"You're talking nonsense. My martial arts master is the same as yours."

"That's why I'm saying this. Practice more. Otherwise, if you end up like the prince and find a wife who's skilled at fighting, you'll be beaten every day." Chen Yuan said, chuckling twice. "Your body isn't as strong as the prince's."

Xiao Yifei was so angry when he heard this that he said directly, "I'm different from my cousin. I don't have a masochistic tendency. I want to find a gentle woman who only cares about me in her heart and eyes."

"You don't understand. The prince might think it's a good idea for you to chase me and I to run away like this." The relationship between men and women cannot be determined by just one or two sentences.

"Catch him quickly."

Xiao Yifei didn't want to talk to Chen Yuan anymore. The prince's two study companions were both military men, but they were also very good at talking. If one day, they could put on red robes and become civil officials at any time with a single order.

However, the prince doesn't seem to need it. His father-in-law is a civil servant who is in charge of performance appraisal. It would be very easy for him to promote a few of his own people.

The next morning, the news spread in the capital that Concubine Li's sister, the wife of the Minister of Rites, had been arrested and taken to the Jinyiwei prison.

Normally, if something happens to such a prominent family, they will secretly deal with the matter and keep the news secret, especially this Mrs. Ruan, who is the prince's aunt.

However, before the morning court was over, everyone selling roasted sweet potatoes in the capital knew about it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that someone didn't want to make a big deal out of a small matter, thus depriving the Ruan family of room to maneuver.

As for why she was arrested, no one could tell the truth. All they heard was that Madam Ruan offended an important person and made wild remarks, committing a serious crime of disrespect.

I only know one outcome: the higher-ups will punish me, and it will be a capital crime.

This incident served as the fuse. In the past, news about the Ruan family's shops and servants, relying on their status as royal relatives to oppress others, spread one after another. The condemnation from the people in the streets was about to drown out the Ruan family.

However, all the criticism was directed at Mrs. Ruan.

The emperor also learned about this matter during the morning court session. After all, it was the Jinyiwei who arrested the person. It seemed that his prince had made a lot of progress in the past year.

The prince is smart and wise, and he is good at both academics and martial arts. However, he often feels guilty when facing Concubine Li, and he tends to indulge the mother and daughter of the Ruan family.

The emperor originally thought that after a hundred years, he would have to fall flat on his face and suffer a great loss at the hands of these people because of his "filial piety and righteousness" in order to become a real emperor.

Unexpectedly, the prince made rapid progress this year, as if he had suddenly broken through the path of being a king that was blocked by the mountain of "filial piety and righteousness". First, he dealt with Ruan Liuzheng, and now even his mother's sister was sentenced to death.

He has really grown up a lot, which made him feel more at ease. The emperor looked at Xiao Jingheng with satisfaction, and then looked at the ministers in the hall.

The prince has made more than just progress. He has made use of his study partner and cousins, and has also found himself a capable father-in-law. Gu An is truly extraordinary. When the prince strongly recommended him to be the Minister of Personnel, he was still puzzled.

As a result, the prince fell in love with the girl. After all, all these changes were driven by Gu An's daughter.

As expected, one has to choose a wife according to one's own preferences.

Look, after hitting a wall with my fiancée, I can handle other things with much more ease.

The emperor thought that such a good daughter-in-law who could motivate his son to make progress would definitely be rewarded handsomely.

"My dear ministers, if there is nothing else, we will stop here today." The emperor said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, we respectfully bid you farewell." The ministers kowtowed in unison, and then the emperor spoke again, "The Crown Prince will remain."

Xiao Jingheng followed his father to the rear hall and knelt on the ground to apologize, "I used the Jinyiwei without authorization. Please punish me, father."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's alright. Chen Yuan was originally the one I trained for you. Besides, I just made an emergency decision."

"Thank you, father." Xiao Jingheng stood up.

"There might still be some trouble at your mother's place."

"I know, it's only for a while. Without Aunt Ruan fanning the flames, mother can serve father with peace of mind." Xiao Jingheng's face was calm, but in his heart he already wanted to cut Aunt Ruan into pieces.

How can a woman treat another woman so viciously?
