Chapter 686: Isn’t This Good?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was Xiao Baili’s first time meeting Xi Rui’s mother, and she had a good impression of her.
The princess consort didn’t look like a difficult mother-in-law and was very respectful to her family.
And now, she promised not to interfere with Xi Rui’s backyard and not to let him take concubines, which made her very happy.
Although she liked Brother Rui, she was also nervous. After all, she was going to marry into the Xi Family.
Now that her future mother-in-law was so easy to get along with, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The Xi Family sincerely proposed marriage, and the Xiao Family agreed without any hesitation.
Then, the two families began to discuss the engagement.
After the princess consort left, news of the engagement between the Xi Family and the Xiao Family spread.
This news shocked many people. Obviously, they didn’t expect the Xiao Family to marry Xiao Baili to Xi Rui, this silkpants.
Moreover, Xi Rui was born into a noble family. Even if he was a silkpants, he was doted on by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the head of the Public House. Logically speaking, he should find a noble daughter to marry.
Especially since Xi Rui had become the dean of the Craftsman College, many families with high status wanted to marry their daughters to him.
Who would have thought that the Xi Family would propose marriage to the Xiao Family for Xi Rui?
The engagement between the two families also cut off those families and individuals who had intentions.
Of course, it also angered many people, such as the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan.
The Sixth Prince was determined to get Xiao Baili, but he didn’t expect that b*stard Xi Rui would beat him to it.
He had smashed everything in the manor and scolded Xi Rui countless times.
The hatred of stealing his wife was irreconcilable. Even a blind woman like Xiao Baili made him bear a grudge.
When he was in a bad mood in the manor, he brought his personal guards out to drink in a restaurant.
At the Yan Residence, Miss Yan was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand when she heard the news.
She was indignant. She was a talented woman in the capital and had an outstanding family background. How could the Xi Family treat her like this?
Previously, the Yan Family expressed their desire to marry the Xi Family, but the Xi Family did not agree.
She was even ridiculed and slandered by that silkpants Xi Rui.
But now, the Xi Family’s princess consort had personally gone to the Xiao Family to propose marriage. This meant that she valued Xiao Baili very much and was doing the Xiao Family a favor.
The Xi Family must be blind.
Previously, she had looked down on Xi Rui’s silkpants identity and was somewhat against marrying into the Xi Family. Now, she was very unwilling.
She was a talented noble daughter. How could she not compare to that peasant girl?
She was not convinced!
She couldn’t take it lying down when she thought of Xi Rui’s disdainful sarcasm and Xiao Baili’s annoying look yesterday.
She thought of something and sent someone to inquire about the Sixth Prince.
Soon, a servant girl came to report that the Sixth Prince had gone to a restaurant to drink, so Miss Yan also brought her men to the restaurant.
After getting off the carriage, she even put on a cloak.
The news of Xi Rui mocking her yesterday had spread in the capital. She felt embarrassed and didn’t want to be recognized.
When she reached the door of the private room, she asked someone to knock on the door.
The Sixth Prince, who was drinking, heard that his cousin wanted to see him. He did not refuse and let her in.
Hence, the two of them talked in secret for a long time in the restaurant before Miss Yan left.
Soon, Xiao Hanzheng received the news.
Since the Sixth Prince had his eyes on his sister, Xiao Hanzheng had sent a secret guard who was good at investigation to follow him.
His original purpose was to monitor the Sixth Prince. If he wanted to harm his sister, he could stop him in time.
He did not expect to receive such news.
Shi Qingluo entered the room after showering and saw her little husband’s gloomy face.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
Seeing her come in, Xiao Hanzheng put away his unhappiness. “I just received the news that the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan are working together to ruin my sister’s wedding. ”
Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Ah, what do they want?”
These two people were too petty.
The Sixth Prince couldn’t marry Bai Li, and Miss Yan couldn’t marry Xi Rui, so they wanted to ruin their marriage. They were crazy.
Xiao Hanzheng replied, “Miss Yan said that the Xi Family had gone too far.
They stole the girl that the Sixth Prince liked. She couldn’t take it lying down.” “Xi Rui didn’t want to marry her, but she insisted on marrying him.”
“That’s why she came up with the idea to let the Sixth Prince find an opportunity to ruin my sister’s innocence and let Xi Rui have intimate relations with her in public.”
“By then, I will have no choice but to break off the engagement with Xi Rui and go to the Sixth Prince’s mansion to be a concubine.” “Xi Rui had to marry her because he took advantage of her.”
“The Sixth Prince has agreed.”
Shi Qingluo could not understand what was going on in their minds. “So they can’t get it, and not only do they have to destroy it, but they also have to do it themselves?”
“How stupid is this Miss Yan? She actually set up Xi Rui to have physical contact with her. Didn’t she just get scolded and humiliated by Xi Rui? Why does she want to get married instead?”
If it were anyone else, wouldn’t they hate Xi Rui to the core and want to stay away from him?
Xiao Hanzheng said, “Miss Yan can’t stand the fact that the Xi Family chose Baili over her.”
“Xi Rui had mocked her before, and the Yan Family wanted to marry into the Xi Family. It won’t be easy for her to marry into a noble family.”
“She wants revenge. The more Xi Rui doesn’t want to marry her, the more she wants to marry him.”
He paused for a moment. “Maybe there’s another thought. She thinks she’s very good. Xi Rui was blind to not see her good side.”
“After she marries Xi Rui, Xi Rui will fall for her and be controlled by her.”
Shi Qingluo could not help but roll her eyes. “How confident are you in yourself?! As expected of those annoying cousins. They’re all so sick.”
“Didn’t you receive news that the Sixth Prince secretly ordered people to do something to his fiancée in order to marry Baili? He wanted her to die in an accident and give up her position as the main consort.”
“I’m still thinking about how to save the innocent woman who got involved. Whether she gets killed or marries someone like the Sixth Prince, her life is over.”
She sneered. “Now that the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan have taken the initiative to come to our door, we’ll lock them up so that they won’t go out and harm others. ”
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “My wife is thinking the same thing again.”
“I also think that Sixth Prince is not worthy of his fiancée, so it’s better to harm each other with his cousin.”
“Actually, I heard that Consort Hui had plans to marry the Sixth Prince to her niece. Now, we can do as she wishes.”
“I’m afraid she’s looking down on Miss Yan now,” Shi Qingluo chuckled.
After all, Miss Yan was the laughingstock of the entire capital. To be able to raise someone like the Sixth Prince, Consort Hui was naturally not a tolerant person.
Therefore, the more she valued Miss Yan’s identity and talent in the past, the more she despised her now.
Moreover, if the matter of the Sixth Prince ruining Miss Yan’s innocence was exposed in public, the Sixth Prince would become the joke of the entire capital.
Even Consort Hui would feel disgusted if Miss Yan were to be a concubine, let alone a princess.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Isn’t that great? Let them fight it out with their own families.”
He didn’t have the time and energy to scheme against others. Shi Qingluo smiled and blinked.. “I think this is good too!”
