Chapter 90: Marry or Die

  "This...!" The Crown Princess Ding An was completely stunned!

  Isn't it said that she came to capture Feng Yu Heng? Why did it become her daughter when she arrived here?

  As the crowd came together, Wang Jian saw that it wasn't Feng Yu Heng inside and couldn't help but secretly let out a breath of relief. When Feng Yu Heng left, she didn't allow her to follow, and she was truly afraid that if something happened, she would be blamed by the Emperor, which would be a capital offense!

  "Mother!" Qing Le's face was full of grievance, wanting to stand up, but feeling that the image was really not elegant, had to adjust her posture in the water and continue waiting.

  But her movement happened to touch a place that the man shouldn't have touched. The man in the bathtub let out a muffled grunt, and his face turned bright red.

  The female guests who were watching on the sidelines couldn't help but turn their heads away one by one, and involuntarily took a deep breath. This Qing Le County Master's courage was really too great!

  "Get up quickly for me!" Princess Ding'an was furious, and she pushed the maid beside her forward: "Hurry up and help the young lady get up and put on her clothes."

  But who would be holding the clothes? The maids were all at a loss.

  "It's clear that Qing Le shouted: 'I was pushed in! Someone pushed me!'"

  But who would believe it? When they entered the house, except for a little maid standing by the screen, was there anyone else?

  Qing Le shouted and also realized this point, her eyes rolled over, and immediately cast a fierce gaze at the maid: "It's her!" She stretched out her hand to point directly: "She was the one who pushed me into the water!"

  Xiao Yatou was frightened, who would have thought that Qing Le would bite back, and quickly explained: "It's not! Princess, it wasn't me who pushed you! There wasn't even anyone pushing you!"

  The female guests are not fools either. A young girl, no matter how capable she is, can't possibly push Qing Le, who has always been arrogant and aggressive with a few tricks up his sleeve, into the water? That's ridiculous!

  Ke Qing Le thought of finding a scapegoat, but they didn't want to expose her either, so they could only stare at each other with wide eyes and watch this good show.

  Queen Ding'an naturally knew that Qing Le was trying to frame someone, so she quickly played along: "Guards! Take this bold girl away and beat her to death with sticks!"

  "Waaah!" The girl burst into tears, "I'm innocent! I'm being wronged! The young mistress told me to find Miss Feng outside, then I heard a noise inside and came in to see the young mistress already in the water! It has nothing to do with me! I'm being wronged!"

  "Take him away quickly!" The Queen of Ding'an was furious, staring at Qing Le and panting heavily.

  Phoenix sank fish also wondered why things would become like this, she looked around, anxiously searching in the crowd.

  A young lady from a certain family saw her like this and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Feng, who are you looking for?"

  "My second sister has gone who knows where?"

  As soon as she finished speaking, a voice outside the door rose up: "Big sister, I'm with Xiang Rong here."

  Everyone turned around, and they saw Feng Yuexiang walking towards them with a gentle smile, accompanied by Feng Xiangrong who had changed her clothes. Behind them were a palace maid from the Wangfu and Feng Xiangrong's personal maid.

  Wang Chuan hastily stepped forward: "Has Third Miss changed her clothes?"

  Feng Yu nodded, "Yes." She turned her head and glared at the maid from the Ding'an Wangfu, "The servants of the Ding'an Wangfu are really clumsy, they spilled a whole cup of tea on my third sister's body. Fortunately, the mansion had prepared new clothes in advance, so it didn't make my third sister lose too much face." She looked at the Ding'an Wangfei again and said, "Thank you, Wangfei, for preparing the clothes, they fit my third sister perfectly."

  Her words left Queen Ding'an at a loss for what to say next, feeling both indignant and embarrassed.

  Chen Yu spoke up at this time and asked the palace maid who was following Feng Yuhuan: "Where were you just now?"

  "That girl replied listlessly: 'It's just in the adjacent main hall.'"

  Chen Yu asked again: "Is Miss Feng's second daughter also inside?"

  The girl nodded, "Second Miss is here to help Third Miss change her clothes."

  "What kind of answer is Big Sister looking for?" Feng Yuhan looked at Chen Yu, "Xiang Rong's clothes were dirty, I helped her change, and at that time Big Sister was playing the piano, it wasn't convenient to call you."

  As soon as the piano was mentioned, Chen Yu's face turned even darker, and his gaze at Feng Yuhuang was filled with undisguised hatred.

  At this time, a maid took a cloak and finally rescued Qing Le County's master from the bathtub.

  Qing Le emerged from the water, shivering with cold, but she didn't forget to find Feng Yu Heng and settle accounts. Pointing at her, she began scolding: "You shameless cheap woman! You must be the one who pushed me in here! The person who should have been in this room was supposed to be you!"

  Feng Yu Huan was extremely puzzled, "I've been helping San Mei change her clothes in the next room, why would the young mistress falsely accuse me like this?" She then asked the maid behind her, "Did you see me come out and enter this room at any point?"

  That servant girl shook her head, "Miss Feng Er hasn't left the house since she entered."

  Qing Le's face turned blue with rage, "Whose maid are you? Who are you speaking for?"

  That girl was so scared that she knelt down with a thud, "Young Mistress, I don't know anything! Qinglian sister only told me to deliberately spill the tea water on Miss Feng's skirt and then bring Miss Feng over here to change her clothes, nothing else was instructed to me!"

  As soon as these words came out, everyone was "oh" with a long tone, and it turned out that's how things were.

  "Poisonous words!" Princess Ding'an glared at the maid, "Drag her out and beat her to death!"

  That girl was frightened out of her wits and didn't understand why she had to be beaten to death. She kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

  Unfortunately, who would spare her life at this time? The Queen of Ding'an was eager to find a scapegoat to clear Qing Le's name.

  But can this be easily calmed down?

  "What can the young lady of Qingyue do?" Feng Yu Heng looked at Qingyue and said in a low voice, "The young lady shouldn't have met with someone privately without choosing a time when there were no people around. Now that so many pairs of eyes are watching, it's not easy to shut everyone's mouths, is it?"

  There were those who disapproved of Qing Le and chimed in, "In cases like this, the young mistress will probably have to marry that person."

  Feng Yu shook his head, "Of course there's another way."

  Someone else chimed in: "But another road is just a dead end."

  "Shut your mouths, all of you!" Qing Le was about to go mad, turning her head and pointing at the man in the bucket: "How are you still here?" She then shouted loudly: "Guards! Take this thief out for me, behead him! Behead him!"

  "On the day of Queen Dian's grand birthday, who is it that speaks such bloody words?" Just then a voice rose from outside the house, not particularly loud, yet somehow managed to enter everyone's ears amidst the chaos.

  Everyone turned around, and they saw the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua walking towards them with a group of men. The person accompanying the Seventh Prince was none other than King Ding'an, who was over fifty years old.

  Seeing the male guests arrive, a voice suddenly exploded in Qing Le's mind - "It's all over!"

  Ding An Wang's eyes widened in anger, and he took a few steps forward. With a "slap slap", he slapped Qing Le twice, his palms striking with great force. As a young general, his strength was immense, and the two slaps not only sent Qing Le tumbling to the ground but also left bloodstains on the corners of his mouth.

  "Father, I am innocent."

  "You've all disgraced me!" Prince Ding An was so angry that he kicked over the screen, and the man still soaking in the bathtub was startled to the point of almost drowning himself.

  "Bring him in!" With a single order from King Ding An, two guards immediately stepped forward. He pointed at the man in the bucket and said: "Drag this man out and dismember him with five horses!"

  "Your Highness, spare my life!" The man was frightened out of his wits. "Your Highness! This has nothing to do with me! It was all arranged by the princess, and I didn't even know why she jumped in herself! Your Highness! I have been guarding the palace for many years, please spare my life!"

  "Ding An Wang." Xuan Tian Hua spoke again, and with one sentence, the atmosphere was once again focused on him. "Regardless of whether this person is dead or alive, Qing Le's reputation has already been severely damaged. In my opinion, it would be better to fulfill the beautiful affair between these two children, and also count as a double happiness for the Ding An Wang Fu today." He said while looking at the Ding An Wang Fei: "Wang Fei, please rest assured, I will personally report this matter to the Emperor and ask him to grant their marriage. You and the Wang Ye can prepare for the wedding banquet!"

  He finished speaking, shook his sleeves and turned around, leaving with his attendants.

  King Jeong-an had a mind to call Hwang Cheon-hwa back, but Cheong-leok clung tightly to his hem and wailed: "Your Majesty! I don't want to marry him! I like Crown Prince Wang, please grant my wish!"

  Feng Yu's eyes sparkled with anger, "Is this what you think of my Feng family now that we have no one left? You've already done such a thing in front of so many people, and even the Crown Prince has witnessed it. And yet, you still harbor hopes for the Emperor? Tell me, Young Lady, are you trying to compete with me for the position of Empress, or are you willing to be a concubine?"

  Qing Le's mind had already been unclear at this time, and she subconsciously replied to her: "Of course the young lady will be the official wife!"

  "Feng Yu's eyes narrowed as she stared at King Ding An, her voice taking on a sharp tone: 'Did you hear that, Your Majesty? Do you want me to go and bring Prince Chun back right now, so he can change his words in front of the Emperor, saying that although Qing Le County Princess has bathed with other men, she still belongs to the Crown Prince in her heart? Please have the Emperor decide to grant her to the Crown Prince as his official consort, and also ask the Crown Prince to personally come to my Feng family to dissolve our engagement contract?'"

  Qing Le cried and tugged at Ding An Wang's robe, pleading: "Father King, please agree to her request!"

  Ding An Wang kicked one foot up in anger and violently kicked Qing Le out.

  Queen Ding'an rushed forward and hugged Qing Le, shouting together with her: "Your own daughter is being bullied, and you're still hitting her? Is there such a father like you?"

  Ding An Wang didn't have the heart to bother with these two women, and instead looked at Feng Yu Huang anxiously, saying: "Miss Feng, this matter absolutely cannot happen! Qing Le speaking those words was due to my own poor teaching, please don't take it to heart, Miss Feng, and also don't believe it."

  "What's wrong with that?" Qing Le cried out: "I just want to marry the Crown Prince, I've liked the Crown Prince since I was a child, Father, why won't you let me marry him?"

  Qing Le's behavior was so outrageous that the ladies present couldn't bear to watch, and they all spoke up for Feng Yu Heng - "Although you are a princess, you can't be so unreasonable. Not to mention that the Emperor has already betrothed himself to Miss Feng, even if he hadn't, with your current appearance, how could you possibly be worthy of His Majesty?"

  "It's just that the Ding'an royal family is too bullying."

  Feng Yu Huan's face also turned cold as she looked at Prince Ding An, letting out a cold snort: "I've always heard that Prince Ding An is divine and mighty, but I didn't expect that the first time I see him would be in such a situation. I, Feng Yu Huan, am not talented, yet I have received the favor of Your Highness, but it has caused the young miss of Qing Le County to hate me so much. Prince, I will definitely return to my manor and tell my father about today's events, and I will also send someone to inform His Imperial Majesty. Although my Feng family is not a royal or noble family, we are not people who can be bullied and humiliated by anyone. And what happened earlier with Princess Ding An forcing my sisters and me to play the zither for a group of slaves, I remember it all!"

  After finishing speaking, she pulled Rong Yu's hand and said to the two maids beside her: "We're going back to the manor!"
