Chapter 1029: Trying to Steal a Chicken and Losing the Whole
So at such times, their prince is naturally unable to leave the capital.And they can't guarantee that there isn't a conspiracy behind this. What if the whole thing is just a smokescreen, designed to g...After Jingtang Garden returned to quiet, An Xue Tang was about to return to Fengming House when someone sent her a letter.
An anonymous letter.
However, the sender clearly underestimated the capabilities of Beijiang Wangfu. As long as Beijiang Wangfu wanted to investigate, the person behind this letter would be impossible to conceal.
"Your Highness, this is a letter written by Cheng Ruyi, the eldest daughter of Lord Cheng."
It had been a long time since she'd heard that name, An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow.
As for Cheng Ru'er, An Xuetang's impression of her remained stuck at her wretched state in Beijang.
Cheng Ru'er was determined to marry Mo Yunjing, and the emperor had even issued an imperial decree for their marriage.
Mo Yunjing simply ignored Cheng Ru'er. Even though Cheng Ru'er traveled a long distance to Bei Jiang just to find Mo Yunjing, he remained indifferent.
No matter what Cheng Ru'er did, in Mo Yunjing's eyes, she was a stranger.
If not for this person suddenly appearing, An Xuetang would have forgotten that there was such a figure in the capital city.
But now that I think about it, Cheng Ru'er is also very strange. She wanted to marry Mo Yunjing and even went to great lengths to run to Beijiang before. Why did she become quiet after Mo Yunjing returned to the capital
Logically speaking, if Mo Yun Jing returned to the capital, she should be trying all sorts of ways to assert her presence, right
But she had never heard of the story of Gou'er coming to Beijang Wangfu.
Thinking about this, An Xuetang looked at Ning'er, "I haven't heard from Cheng Ruer in a long time. Has she gotten married"
Ning'er shook her head, "Your Highness, Cheng Ru'er has not yet been married."
She doesn't seem to be very young, does she
Ning'er nodded, "Cheng Ru'er is eighteen this year."
An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, she remembered that there was a law in Tianba Kingdom that if a woman wasn't married by eighteen, her family would be held guilty.
However, thinking about a woman of Cheng Ru'er's status, the law probably wouldn't be able to do much to her.
Just as long as Cheng Ru'er doesn't marry, it means she hasn't given up on marrying Mo Yunjing.
An Xuetang's lips curled into a sneer, then she opened the letter Cheng Ruer had given her.
The content of the letter made her want to laugh even more. Cheng Ru'er actually wrote to tell her that Princess Zhao Si from Xuan Kingdom had ill intentions towards Mo Yunjing.
Cheng Ru'er's words in the letter seemed so sincere that if someone unfamiliar with the situation saw it, they would probably think Cheng Ru'er and An Xue Tang had an incredibly close relationship.
Cheng Ru'er mentioned what happened at the palace banquet in her letter, but she omitted a lot. The letter only mentioned Zhao Si calling "Jing gege" and mentioning that Mo Yun Jing had once been to Xuan Guo.
So what was Cheng Ru'er trying to tell her
Could it be that he's trying to tell her that Moyun Jing had a relationship with Zhao Si when he was in Xuan Guo
Cheng Ru'er wrote this letter with the purpose of, first and foremost, sowing discord between her and Mo Yunjing. Secondly, of course, she wanted to use Cheng Ru'er's hand to deal with Zhao Si.
When she and Zhao Si were fighting tooth and nail, the ultimate beneficiary naturally became her.
In just a few short months, I have to admit, Cheng Ruer's intelligence has increased significantly.
To even try to play mind games in front of An Xuetang, she's just asking for trouble.
Seeing An Xuetang's eyes darken, Ninger and Shou'er exchanged glances.
"Ning'er still thought it was Cheng Ru'er who had upset An Xue Tang's mood. She immediately said, "Your Highness, why don't I go and teach Cheng Ru'er a lesson"
An Xuetang looked up and saw the nervous expressions of Ning'er and Shou'er. She let out a chuckle and shook her head, "No need to intervene. This woman wants to marry King Beijiang, right Then find a way to let Princess Xuan Guo know that Cheng Ruer was once betrothed to Mo Yunjing by the emperor."
Doesn't Cheng Ruer want to see the two of them, her and Zhao Si, fight
It just so happens she also wants to see Zhao Si and Cheng Ruer fight.
Shour and Ning subconsciously glanced at each other, a smirk playing on their lips.
In their eyes, Cheng Ruer was still alive only because the Queen had mercy and didn't want her life.
Ke Chengru'er is actually blind to the situation. After all those things that happened in Bei Jiang, she still dares to covet the King of Bei Jiang. It seems like she really wants to live a chaotic life.
After responding, Ning'er was about to turn and leave to arrange the matter. However, An Xuetang suddenly added:
"By the way, Ninger, since Cheng Ru'er is already eighteen, you should find someone to remind Cheng Shilang that according to Tianba Kingdom's law, women who are not married by eighteen will be punished by their families. I hope Cheng Shilang will pay more attention to his eldest daughter's marriage."
Ning'er smirked, "Yes."
After acknowledging, Ning'er turned around to make the arrangements.
An Xuetang had a slight smile on her lips. Cheng Ruer didn't worry about her marriage, and the Cheng family didn't care about the saying that an unmarried woman over eighteen would bring shame upon them. They were simply relying on Cheng Shilang's official position. Even if his daughter remained unmarried past eighteen, under normal circumstances, the government wouldn't come to trouble their Cheng family for this matter.
After all, officials should avoid offending each other when possible.
But if the Princess of Beijiang were to personally remind Lord Cheng about his eldest daughter's marriage, it would be a warning to him, letting him know that the marriage of his precious eldest daughter had caught the attention of the dignified Princess of Beijiang.
Although the officials dared not punish the Cheng family for Cheng Ru'er's refusal to marry, she, as the Princess Consort of Bei Jiang, could!
Now that she reminded them, the Cheng family must be in a rush to find a match for Cheng Ruer!
"Just like Cheng Ru'er, she still wants to scheme against her"
She, An Xue Tang, immediately knew what it meant to get nothing out of a risky endeavor.
……
As expected, after An Xue Tang's reminder, the Cheng family was immediately in disarray.
Because in one month, Cheng Ru'er will turn eighteen. Once she passes her coming-of-age ceremony, and if she is still unmarried, she will be considered a criminal by the government.
Prior to this, their family was not in a hurry because they were well aware that the law mandating women to marry by eighteen only applied to ordinary people who lacked connections and influence.
Even though Cheng Yongying is just a Slijang, if his daughter doesn't get married when she reaches the appropriate age, no one can do anything about it.
But now they have been targeted by the Princess of Beijang. If the Princess of Beijang really wants to pursue this, the Cheng family would definitely not be able to stand up to her.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yongying immediately rushed home and called Cheng Ruer over, telling her about it.
Cheng Ruer, upon hearing that An Xuetang had actually sent someone to warn her, was immediately so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand. "An Xuetang!!"
Cheng Yongheng frowned, dissatisfied and said, "Keep your voice down. If someone hears you directly call the Northern Border Princess's name, others will have another reason to pick on you."
Cheng Ruer couldn't even care about anything else at this point. She was furious, her teeth itching, "Father, what exactly does the emperor mean Didn't he promise he would find a way for me to enter the Beijang Wangfu".. will you believe me"As a woman, being taken away in the middle of the night by so-called childhood sweetheart, if it was an ordinary husband, he would definitely misunderstand that she had somethin...
