青春期撞上更年期第1部

“Am I crazy? You must be out of your mind! How dare you scold me like this? Do you think I am willing to marry a useless person like you?” Princess Yuyan asked, her eyebrows twitching uncomfortably with anger. “If you weren’t useless, how could I end up like this? At that time, you and my mother conspired together and just asked me to pass a message. But how could I become the one marrying into your country in the end?”

The more Princess Yuyan thought about it, the angrier she became. This matter should have had nothing to do with her.

She was only the messenger. Why did she end up with marriage? And she had to marry into the Kingdom of Dongcang!

“Yuyan, you are the princess who will marry into my country. Do you think you can go back to your home country now?” Chu Qing also got angry. He put down the hand covering his face and said coldly, “You will be my wife. How can’t you still think about marrying Prince Chen? Speaking of which, Princess Chen is thousands of times more beautiful than you. You are not even worthy to carry shoes for her!”

After saying that, Chu Qing looked up and down at Princess Yuyan as if examining a humble product.

Princess Yuyan, ashamed and annoyed, flushed with anger and was about to hit Chu Qing again, but this time he squeezed her hand. “Please behave yourself if you want to live a good and peaceful life. I will treat you well for the sake of your mother. But if you keep making trouble for no reason, I won’t be so easy on you. Your marriage to me is a national affair between our two countries. You will have to marry me whether you want to do it or not.”

He finished speaking and shook off her hand, turning to get off the carriage.

There was a moment of silence in the carriage. Then from it came the cry of Princess Yuyan. The palace maid who served her along the way was so scared that she hid aside and did not dare to move. At this moment, she hurried over to comfort Princess Yuyan and was smacked a few times by her master.

In the carriage before them, Princess Yutao smiled radiantly, pleased to see them come to blows. She sincerely hoped they could fight and scold each other every day, for they had plotted against her. Without Prince Chen’s reminder, she would have been forced to get married. Now everything was perfect.

Even if she had to go to the Kingdom of Dongcang with them, she was better than Yuyan, who must marry Chu Qing.

Chu Qing was cunning. When in the Xu State, she had thought he would suffer losses when confronting Princess Yuyan. She felt sorry for him when he was forced to marry Princess Yuyan. However, it looked like they made a perfect couple.

This pair, Chu Qing and Princess Yuyan, couldn’t be more perfectly matched.

Princess Yutao hummed in her carriage, feeling delighted in her heart.

In the forefront carriage, Chu Liuchen lay back against the soft couch. He gracefully picked up a cup of tea on the table before him, took a sip, and slowly put it down.

His spacious carriage was thickly carpeted, so Chu Liuchen had a smooth journey. Inside the carriage, the water in the cup is only slightly rippling.

“Master, they quarreled behind us.” Xiao Xuanzi climbed up into the carriage and reported with a smile.

“Nice, and it’s just the beginning.” Chu Liuchen said languidly, raising the delicate corners of his mouth. He was not surprised. At first glance, Princess Yuyan isn’t a virtuous wife who would be faithful to her husband. Back then, she never intended to marry Chu Qing. There should be another reason why she was so close to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing seemed to be a nice person of excellent character, but deep down, he was ambitious which was not even smaller than that of Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou.

Where did he get the confidence to support his great ambition? Chu Liuchen was curious about it.

Uncle the Emperor wouldn’t choose him even if he had no one to pass his throne to. As a powerless and uninfluential prince, what could he depend on to become the ruler with supreme power?

What was supporting his ambition?

Since Chu Liuchen had nothing better to do, he wanted to figure it out and see how Chu Qing would make his ambition come true. Sometimes, he was even willing to help Chu Qing achieve more and get closer to the throne.

“Master, Ningyuan Army General asks if we’ll push on with our journey or have a rest at this time,” Xiao Xuanzi beamed and asked. Of course, he could understand his master’s bad taste in this regard, so he stopped talking about Chu Qing. The entanglement between Commandery Prince Qing and Princess Yuyan had just begun, and he was just a humble eunuch following his master to watch the fun.

He had to do his jobs first before enjoying the fun!

“Go on our way. They become bold enough to bully my wife when I’m away from home.” Chu Liuchen’s face set in grim lines, and the temperature in the carriage instantly plummeted.

The news in the capital city had already come. Even if Shao Wanru didn’t tell him everything in detail, the facts were apparent at a glance after he connected all the things that had happened. They dared to stir up trouble inside his mansion when he was outside the capital. He would get even with these people once he was back.

“Okay, I see. I will tell Ningyuan Army General now.” Xiao Xuanzi nodded repeatedly.

Princess Chen was in danger, so how could Prince Chen not be anxious? It seemed that they would move more quickly from now on. He didn’t know who in the capital city was so stupid as to plot against Princess Chen and Prince Chen.

“How could they dare to make my master marry Princess Yutao? “These simple-minded people mistakenly thought they could manipulate my master!”

Thinking of the news from the capital city, Xiao Xuanzi felt a burst of lingering fear. If anything happened to Princess Chen, the capital city would go through a period of a lot of violence, and many people would be killed. Not to mention the capital city, even the Palace would experience the same thing. No one could stop Prince Chen from avenging Princess Chen, not even Consort Lan in the Palace.

At the thought of this, Xiao Xuanzi couldn’t help shivering in his heart and hurriedly got out of the carriage to find Ningyuan Army General, hoping that no more schemes against Princess Chen and the Prince Chen’s Mansion would happen in the capital city.

These people didn’t understand Princess Chen’s unshakable position in Prince Chen’s heart.

Over the years, Prince Chen didn’t care about his health. However, because of Princess Chen, he seriously started nourishing himself. It could be said that she made the present Prince Chen. It was Princess Chen who slowly pulled his master out of the darkest abyss.

If Princess Chen had an accident… Xiao Xuanzi didn’t dare to think about the consequences. Then, he decided to pass on the message to Ningyuan Army General first.

As Xiao Xuanzi walked past Princess Yuyan’s carriage behind them, he suddenly heard a loud cry and shook his head. His master only cared about Princess Chen. No matter how pitiful Princess Yuyan appeared and how much disturbance she created, she wouldn’t get his attention. So what if she cried to him? His master would not care.

Hearing Chu Liuchen’s intention from Xiao Xuanzi, Qin Huaiyong helplessly asked others to handle the horses well and go on their way. The sun was about to set, but this master didn’t plan to rest, so they all had to move on.

With a bit of sympathy in his eyes, he shot a glance at Commandery Prince Qing riding a horse aside. He had witnessed Princess Yuyan’s acts in the past few days. Obviously, she was not a decent lady. Chu Qing married a really unruly goddess who refused to accept her status as his wife.

However, it could be considered Chu Qing’s fault. He was pretty close to Princess Yuyan, as if he had fallen in love with her at first sight. He had to face this troubled relationship and only had himself to blame.

Perhaps Princess Yutao had wickedly aggravated this complicated situation, but so what? Chu Qing had behaved frivolously and had long had an affair with Princess Yuyan.

The Prince Chen’s Mansion had been closed for a few days. Finally, its gate was opened, and a large carriage drove out. In no time, many spies watching the Prince Chen’s Mansion sent the news to their masters.

Princess Chen left the mansion.

This spacious carriage was Princess Chen’s, and they heard that Prince Chen specially made it for her.

Sure enough, Princess Chen suffered from no punishment — she had just fallen ill.

After all the forces had gotten the exact information, they ordered their people not to act rashly. They had to wait and see. What had happened attracted the attention of the Emperor, so they must do nothing hasty to the Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Shao Wanru went to Butterfly Clothing Shop, which she hadn’t visited for a long time. After entering Madame Dong’s accountant’s office, she removed her curtain hat.

Madame Dong hurried forward to salute.

“Has anything happened these days?” Shao Wanru asked with a broad smile. She had always been very scrupulous because she was afraid that people would know what had happened in the Butterfly Clothing Shop.

“Well… he would send his people here from time to time. They no longer spied on me and only delivered some items to me.” Madame Dong sighed and looked very conflicted.

“Do you want to be with him?” Shao Wanru smiled slightly and asked calmly.

“He… I don’t want to be with him. I’ve had enough of him, and I won’t take it anymore. But I didn’t expect him to trace up to Xiuer. Wei Dahai found Xiuer…” Madame Dong frowned more tightly. “Xiuer is soft-hearted. She feels pitiful for him!”

The more Madame Dong thought about it, the angrier she became. Obviously, Wei Dahai failed them, but Xiuer accused her of being hard-hearted and couldn’t tolerate Wei Dahai’s legal wife. In Xiuer’s eyes, Madame Dong was the one who is ungrateful in love. Thinking of these words, Madame Dong felt like crying.

She had been raising Xiuer alone for many years and had experienced untold hardships. She only hoped her daughter would grow up and live a good life. To her dismay, Xiuer couldn’t understand her and blamed that she was narrow-minded and intolerant toward others. Also, she said she should have lived a better life as the daughter of an official’s family, but she was forced to bear the miserable life outside with Madame Dong for so many hard days.

“Xiuer wants to acknowledge Wei Dahai as her father?” Shao Wanru couldn’t help sighing in her heart. She knew it as soon as she saw Madame Dong’s glum look. When Dong Xiuer had that incident, she could tell that girl was not smart enough. Dong Xiuer was credulous and would easily fall for words, not to mention words from her biological father.

Shao Wanru had never expected that Dong Xiuer would break her mother’s heart. Madame Dong loved her deeply because of her biological father, who ignored them.

Wei Dahai seemed scheming. When he couldn’t compel Madame Dong to submit, he took a soft approach through Dong Xiuer, his daughter.

By using Dong Xiuer, he wanted to force Madame Dong to go back to his mansion. Shao Wanru slightly pursed her lips with an intuition that Madame Dong was not his ultimate goal.

“Do you think that Wei Dahai is sincere to you?” Shao Wanru smiled, asking casually in a low voice. What she needed to see now was Madame Dong’s attitude.
