After Xu Danyang was sent away, the Prince of Xiangzheng County said sincerely, "Xiao Wang became confused after drinking and made a big mistake. Xiao Wang is willing to try his best to make up for it."
"How to make up for it? How to make up for it?" Mrs. Hao asked coldly.
"The little king is willing to accept Miss Xu as his concubine." As soon as Prince Xiangzheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the study suddenly dropped to freezing point. .
"Do you think it is possible to accept Xu Danyang as a concubine?" Mrs. Hao asked angrily.
"Xiao Wang knows that he has wronged Miss Xu by asking her to be his concubine, but Xiao Wang will treat Miss Xu well in the future, please rest assured, madam."
Hao The madam sneered and said: "Don't tell me whether you are wronged or not. If you want to accept Danyang as your concubine, it depends on whether she agrees! Also, although my Hao family is not a high-ranking noble, I will not treat her like a concubine." Send your niece to someone else’s house to be a concubine!”
Xu Danyang’s innocence was ruined by the Prince of Xiangzheng County, but so what, just treat her as a married woman once, but she didn’t get married well, and they divorced her. , just find someone to remarry, why do you have to be the concubine of Prince Xiangzheng?
The Prince of Xiangzheng County did not expect Mrs. Hao to be so tough, and said softly: "Madam, what do you want?"
"It's very simple, either you marry Dan Yang is my wife, or I will pay Danyang a sum of money, and the matter will be revealed." Mrs. Hao said.
The Prince of Xiangzheng County was shocked. He would definitely not be able to marry her. He already had a wife and it was impossible for him to divorce her.
As for paying compensation and exposing the matter, how can it be done?
He tried his best to make Xu Danyang have a physical relationship with him and get involved in the Hao family. He could not stop and let her escape.
Prince Xiangzheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he smiled softly and said: "Madam, this is no joke. Miss Xu is a girl. If this matter spreads, it will affect her reputation." Not good."
"Huh, her reputation has been ruined by you. Since you can't marry her, don't keep pestering her, pay a sum of money, and let's live in peace." Mrs. Hao hummed. said in a voice.
"It's not impossible to pay money, but after all, she and Xiao Wang had a close relationship. If Xiao Wang abandons her, if this spreads, Miss Xu will lose her face." Prince Xiangzheng County said.
Mrs. Hao narrowed her eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Then what do you think we should do?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Prince Xiangzheng's eyes and he said: " Otherwise, let's just say that Xiao Wang and Miss Xu are in love, and Miss Xu is willing to become a concubine."
"Ah, go ahead and have your spring and autumn dream." Mrs. Hao was angry. He said, "My Danyang is a good girl, not a person who can climb high branches. Who are you insulting if she is willing to become a concubine?"
The Prince of Xiangzheng County said: "Madam, what are you talking about?You can't say that. Danyang and I are actually married. It's not easy for her to find a good partner. "
Hao Shi, who had been silent all this time, said coldly: "It doesn't matter to the prince of the county, Hao will choose a good home for her. "
"My lord, do you think anyone would dare to marry my king's woman? Prince Xiangzheng changed his face, "I am going to plead guilty to my father. What do you think my father will do?" "
"Does the county prince dare to go to His Majesty to plead guilty? "Hao Shi asked disdainfully.
The Prince of Xiangzheng County wanted to compete for the position of crown prince, and he did not dare to ruin his reputation.
" Mr. Hao, if you are not romantic, you will waste your youth. As long as I say that I am drunk and confused, my father will not blame me. After all, I am his son. "The Prince of Xiangzheng County said confidently.
"The reason why the Prince of Xiangzheng plots against Danyang is simply to want the military power in Hao's hands. If you insult Hao's niece like this, do you think Hao will help? You? "Hao Shi made his words clear.
"Master Hao is a smart man, and I believe that Master Hao will make the wisest choice. "The Prince of Xiangzheng County smiled.
"There is no need to say anything, Prince, but you should prepare 30,000 taels of silver for my Danyang as a dowry. Hao Shi grabbed Mrs. Hao's hand and said, "Let's go." "
Prince Xiangzheng grabbed the teacup on the table, slammed it on the ground, and said angrily: "If you don't drink the toast, you will have to drink wine as a penalty. Hao, you wait for me. ”
Mr. and Mrs. Hao, who had gone far away, could not hear his roar.
When Mr. and Mrs. Hao went out, they happened to encounter a search with no results, and were forced by the princess. The sent out Yaoshan Zhizhi and Song and Yuan Qu.
"Master Hao, Mrs. Hao, you know that Danyang is missing, so why don't you come to see Danyang? " Yao Shanzhi asked anxiously.
"We searched the Prince's Mansion but couldn't find Danyang. I wonder where the Princess had hidden Danyang? " Song Yuanqu's voice was full of tears.
Mrs. Hao quickly comforted the two girls, "Danyang has been found. She will go back to rest first. Thank you for helping Danyang. "
Yao Shanzhi is a smart person. As soon as she heard it, she knew that something happened to Xu Danyang, but she knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time, "It's good that Danyang is found. "
The next day, Yao Shanzhi went to find Zhao Wangshu and said, "Yue'er, I'm sorry. "
"What's wrong? "
"I failed to protect Danyang well. "Yao Shanzhi said with a sad expression.
Zhao Wangshu poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her hand, "What happened? "
Yao Shanzhi said the matter, "I was negligent. ”
In retrospect, the swarm of wasps appeared too suddenly.
Zhao Wangshu said calmly: "I don't blame you for this. There has always been a thief who can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can prevent a thief for a thousand days. Danyang is unwilling to refuse the invitation of the princess, this is bound to happen. "
"I know it's not my fault, but I still feel sad." Yao Shanzhi said dullly.
Zhao Wangshu hugged her gently, "We can't help now. Let's see what Mr. Hao plans to do."
Yao Shanzhi nodded. , grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Let's go see her in two days." Zhao Wangshu said.
“Okay.” Yao Shanzhi agreed readily.
Two days later, the two went to Hao Mansion to see Xu Danyang.
Xu Danyang was embroidering, and her expression looked normal. When she saw the two coming, she stood up and said with a smile: "Shan Zhi, Sister Shu, you are here."
Zhao Wangshu Sitting down on the chair with Yao Shanzhi, Zhao Wangshu asked with a smile: "Danyang, you look good, are you feeling well?"
Xu Danyang shook his head, "No, thank you. Concern."
Yao Shanzhi looked at Xu Danyang's embroidery and praised: "Danyang, your embroidery is so good. Is this an embroidered peony? It's so beautiful."
Xu Danyang choked, and Zhao Wangshu raised his forehead, "Gardenia, this is a camellia, not a peony."
Yao Shanzhi laughed dryly, "Sorry, I saw it wrong."
After chatting for a while, Zhao Wangshu and Xu Danyang said: "Let's go out to eat spicy skewers."
"I'm not going, I want to embroider this picture and send it to you in a few days. People." Xu Danyang declined.
"Okay then." Zhao Wangshu's eyes flashed with worry. Xu Danyang's behavior was too normal, but this seemed abnormal.
Zhao Wangshu never expected that this would be the last time she saw Xu Danyang.
Three days later, Xu Danyang finished embroidering the "Caijiu Mountain Tea Picture". She was dressed in red and hanged outside the Prince's Mansion in Xiangzheng County.
After she overheard the conversation between the servants and knew that Hao Shi would risk his official position to seek justice for her, she wanted to die. She could not ruin her uncle's future. He came to accuse the king of Xiangzheng County.
If she did not die, Prince Xiangzheng accepted her into the palace, and the matter was resolved.
But if she died, Prince Xiangzheng wouldn’t carry her body through the door, would he?
