Chapter 129 Chasing After His Wife? Chasing after a ghost!
However, this time Song Pingping and Lü Qiao wronged Cheng Yan.
Yesterday, the couple acted rather shamelessly, sneaking off to steal Song Nian's treasured storybooks. Qin Yizhen was quite engrossed in reading "After the Divorce, the Prince Kneels and Begs for Forgiveness."
She couldn't help but keep looking down while chattering away.
The female protagonist forced herself to marry for love, but the male protagonist had someone else in his heart and took the woman he loved as his concubine. Over the years, the male protagonist favored his concubine over his wife. The female protagonist was ridden on by the concubine, who slapped her, broke her leg, shaved her head, and threw her into the water by the male protagonist, almost drowning. She suffered several miscarriages and almost lost her life several times.
When the female lead finally gives up and divorces the male lead, he realizes that the female lead is the one he loves most and begins to pursue her.
Pursuing his wife?
Chasing a ghost?!
Why doesn't he just die outside!
Qin Yizhen watched as the female lead was constantly being abused, and she persisted in watching just to see what kind of retribution these two scoundrels would get. But then the male lead suddenly had a change of heart and started pursuing his wife.
The key point is that while he was pursuing his wife, he turned around and abused his concubine, drugging her when she was six months pregnant to induce labor and killing the child, making his concubine suffer the same pain that the female protagonist had endured.
And then... I got even angrier.
The female protagonist actually forgave the male protagonist and his concubine, and remarried the male protagonist. After that, the couple lived happily together, and the wives and concubines lived in harmony.
After reading it, Qin Yizhen felt a tightness in her chest, unable to exhale or swallow, and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
At that moment, I had only one thought in my mind: if I knew who wrote the script, I, the princess, would make him kneel in the pouring rain and revise it word by word in the downpour.
She was so angry that she couldn't sleep, so she dragged Cheng Yan along with her, chattering on and on until almost 3 a.m. She was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open, and finally she fell asleep hugging her blanket.
Hearing Lü Qiao's shout, she woke up from her sleep and looked at the top of the tent, not knowing where she was.
"The princess has woken up." Lü Qiao stepped forward and lifted the curtain, hurriedly telling her, "Aunt Song has been waiting for a long time, and the people from Baochai Tower have also arrived."
Qin Yizhen suddenly sat up, looking at the sun outside which was already high in the sky, and immediately became anxious: "What time is it?"
“It’s almost 10 o’clock.” Lü Qiao lifted the gauze curtain and hung it on the gold hook with the golden gourd hanging on it. Then she went to the next room to get the clothes that Qin Yizhen wanted to change into.
Two maids came in carrying a copper basin filled with warm water, carefully dampened a cloth, wrung it out, and wiped Qin Yizhen's face.
When she sat down in front of the mirror, Lü Qiao styled her hair, while she took the Jade Skin Cream and carefully applied it to her face. After applying it, her originally pale complexion became more radiant.
The beauty in the mirror has snow-white skin and a face like a blooming peony. Her originally clear eyes are now tinged with a touch of spring-like charm. With just a slight glance, she can steal one's heart.
Green Fairy's heart pounded: "Princess, you are getting more and more beautiful."
Qin Yizhen paused in rubbing her hands with the jade skin cream and asked her, "Was I not pretty before?"
“No, that’s not it.” Green Qiao shook her head repeatedly. “The princess was already as beautiful as a fairy, but now she is even more radiant and more beautiful than ever before. It makes my heart pound.”
"Really?" Qin Yizhen looked at herself in the mirror, seemingly not noticing any difference.
"Of course it's true. With a princess's looks, it's no wonder that the Marquis only has the princess in his heart and can't tolerate anyone else."
Qin Yizhen paused, looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was indeed very beautiful. She suddenly asked, "Do you think Cheng Yan likes my face, or me?"
"Huh?" Green Qiao was stunned by the question.
After asking, Qin Yizhen realized she had been badly influenced by storybooks and couldn't help but shake her head: "I was confused. No matter what he likes about me, it's all mine, so what's the difference?"
“Yes, yes, yes.” Lü Qiao nodded repeatedly. “But this servant thinks that the Marquis doesn’t like anything that belongs to a princess.”
"That's definitely not it. At least he's very jealous. He'll get angry if I look at someone else even once."
“Yes, yes, yes, the Marquis is very jealous…” Green Bridge couldn’t help but laugh.
After finishing her hair and makeup, Qin Yizhen went to the pavilion in the courtyard to see Song Pingping.
At this moment, Zhao Rufang also arrived. When the two saw Qin Yizhen walking over, they stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess."
"No need to be polite, just sit down."
Qin Yizhen sat down in the main seat of the tea table in the pavilion, and then the two of them sat down. Granny Gui and her maids brought breakfast, and Qin Yizhen invited the two of them to have some as well.
After finishing breakfast, Qin Yizhen rinsed her mouth and drank tea before asking if the people from Baochai Tower had arrived.
Song Pingping glanced at her: "It's been half an hour already, but Granny Gui has already sent someone to prepare tea and food, saying that the princess has some things to take care of and asked them to wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yizhen secretly praised her subordinates for their competence, while also saying with a serious expression, "I am a princess. What's wrong with making them wait a while? If they don't even have this much patience to see me, they might as well just go back."
Song Pingping didn't expose her: "Yes, yes, the princess was just testing their patience. Now that the test is over, shall we invite them in?"
Qin Yizhen coughed lightly: "Then let them in. Granny Gui, send someone to fetch them."
Granny Gui accepted the order and sent a maid to fetch the people. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, two middle-aged women were invited over.
The leader was a woman of about forty years old, dressed in a royal blue dress. Her long-sleeved shirt with gold chrysanthemums embroidered on it was paired with a red pleated skirt. Her hair was neatly combed, which made her look dignified, composed and elegant. The lifelike peacock and peony hairpin in her hair was dazzling.
She is the current head of Baochai Tower, and is known as Madam Yu.
The Yu family was the owner of Baochai Tower. They had been wronged in their early years. Madam Yu's brother passed away, and her sister-in-law married her enemy. She, a woman, supported Baochai Tower and protected her nephew's daughter as she grew up. She never married in her life.
Because she didn't marry, but was getting old, it was no longer appropriate to call her "young lady," so everyone called her "Madam Yu."
As for the woman in green who was a step behind Madam Yu, Qin Yizhen had also seen her before; she was the manager of Baochai Tower.
"Yu Xian/Wu Cui Niang greet the princess. May the princess be well." The two, along with several maids carrying boxes behind them, stepped forward to pay their respects.
"No need for formalities, please rise." Qin Yizhen put down her teacup and then had a maid bring over two embroidered stools. "Let's sit down and talk."
"People's women don't dare."
"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm just asking you to sit down. It's not like I'm asking you to do anything immoral. I'm not going to eat you."
"Please sit down and show me the jewelry you brought. It will take a while, so please sit and wait."
