Chapter 28: Killing for the sake of a beautiful womans smile

  "Moreover," Sheng Yunjing took another step forward, "although the Second Prince is a noble son of heaven and enjoys the honorable status of heavens family, annihilating my entire Sheng family is a right that only the Emperor has!"

  "The second prince may have ambitions to ascend to a high position, but before he can sit in that position, the entire Shi family will be destroyed, you still wont be able to eliminate them!"

  Upon hearing these words, Sheng Jinxiu felt that her heart from the previous life, which had been riddled with a thousand holes and a hundred wounds, was once again filled with warmth.

  Her family is so good that seeing her being bullied, they would rather take the risk of offending the young masters family to help her get revenge.

  But Yan Ziye was indeed a narrow-minded and calculating person, she couldnt let Yan Ziye be unfavourable to her father and brothers because of todays matter, so she could only - divert Yan Ziyes anger onto herself.

  "Father, youre underestimating the Second Prince by saying this."

  Sheng Jinxiu, while enjoying the warmth of being held in Meng Qiuyus arms, raised her eyes and said with extreme disdain: "Nowadays on the imperial court, the eldest prince is weak and sickly, the third prince has not returned from the border, the fourth prince has lost face, the fifth prince has no interest in power..."

  "Only the second prince is left... closest to the throne."

  "Perhaps one day, the second prince will ascend to a high position and wipe out my entire family just to get a smile from that beauty?"

  As she spoke, her gaze swept over the crowd of onlookers: "However, with the current emperor still in his prime, without illness or disaster, the second prince revealing his ambition so early on is perhaps... somewhat unseemly!"

  She suddenly raised her voice: "In the prosperous Wang Dynasty, the most important thing is filial piety. Even in ordinary families, there are no sons who wish for their fathers to pass away early. The thoughts of the Second Prince..."

  What a big hat fell off!

  "Sheng Jinshu! Dont spout blood from your mouth!" Yan Ziyens face suddenly turned deathly pale.

  When did Sheng Jinxiu become so glib?

  He said he killed people just to make a beauty smile? Thats what a tyrant would do.

  He said he was looking forward to the Emperors early death? That is something only a treacherous official or a rebellious son would do!

  "This prince absolutely does not have that kind of intention!"

  "Is there no such intention?" Sheng Jinxiu asked: "No desire to climb to a high position?"

  Yan Ziyen really wanted to nod and say he didnt, but if he had said that back then and later entered the Eastern Palace, wouldnt it be slapping his own face?

  Sheng Jinxius eyes narrowed as she took in Yan Ziyens entanglement, the sarcasm on her face becoming even more apparent: "What is Second Prince thinking? That is Second Princes business, and has nothing to do with me Sheng Jinxiu, or my Yongan Marquis Manor, or my entire Sheng family!"

  "However, since the Second Prince has come to my Sheng family and acknowledged Sheng Yiyi and the bloodline in her belly, I will also make some things clear to the Second Prince in front of everyone."

  Three years ago, the second prince personally said that he admired me and would not marry anyone else. He betrothed himself to me, and from then on, I regarded the second prince as my future husband. Whatever made the second prince happy, I did it, even going so far as to acquire a rather unpleasant nickname in order to cater to his tastes...

  "The First Wife of Kyotos Number One Playboy!"

  "For three years, the second prince has been secretly meeting with Sheng Dieyi behind my back, deeply in love!"

  "His heart is cold and shallow, seeing someone else makes him change his mind. Although Im hard to accept being deceived, Im not a person who can be picked up and put down at will... But... before I returned to the manor, the Second Prince said something that made me do the things of Sheng Die Yis concubine, its absolutely impossible!"

  "I, a member of the illustrious House of Shi, was born into a family of merchants, but also received an imperial edict and a golden seal from the Emperor himself. As the eldest daughter of the Shi family, even if I dont care about my own reputation, I must consider the reputation of the Shi family, and the reputation of the Imperial Court!"

  "The second prince is forcing me to death, I will never go to be a concubine for a lonely girl who relies on my family!"

  "What? Let Meng Meng wear the Sheng Die Yi?" Meng Qiuyu suddenly lifted her head and looked at the Sheng Die Yi in Yan Ziyens arms...
