Chapter 279

Qiao Jinniang sneered. “What letter? His Highness doesn’t even know you, this Crazy Woman!” When Lu Chen had given up the Martial Duke’s public house for her, she had already known that she and Lu Chen were telepathically connected. She would not believe that Lu Chen was willing to wash her feet last night and would write letters to other women, saying that he wanted Xu Mingshuang to be a side concubine. Lu Chen said to Qiao jinniang, “It’s not worth getting angry over such a person.” Xu Mingshuang looked at Lu Chen, whose face was like that of a banished immortal. She frowned and said, “Your Highness, have you forgotten what you wrote in the letter? How can you deny it like this? I still kept those letters well. “You wrote in the letter that the Crown Princess Consort and Marquis an Yuan’s manor used military power to force you, the Crown Prince, to betray your family. You took a liking to my brother’s loyalty. I heard that I have quite a reputation in the women’s army at the border. You want me to be a side consort, so the Crown Princess Consort Can’t refuse. You and I have been communicating for more than ten days. How can you not keep your word!” Xu Mingwei frowned when he heard this. Xu Jiedu, who was at the side, broke out in a cold sweat. After all, Yunzhou was the territory of the Qiao family. What could the troops of their Yunzhou Jiedu be compared to the troops of the Qiao Family? “Mingshuang, shut up!” Xu Mingshuang said, “His Highness is not even willing to acknowledge the letter!” Lu Chen frowned and asked Xu Mingshuang, “Where is the letter?” Xu Mingshuang said, “The letter is in My Room, Your Highness...” The guard quickly went to Xu Mingshuang’s room and found the letter. Lu Chen opened it and looked at it. Qiao Jinniang looked at it and said, “This handwriting is indeed yours.” Lu Chen said, “This handwriting is indeed much better than Xieshu’s handwriting. However, take a closer look.” Lu Chen somewhat regretted learning the Liu family’s calligraphy when he was young. Everyone could learn the Liu family’s handwriting, and the calligraphy in this bookstore was even more common. Among the scholars, eight out of ten learned the Liu family’s calligraphy. Therefore, Lu Chen’s handwriting was easier to imitate. However, imitation was imitation after all. Since he was praised by master Liu for being better than him, it meant that it was extremely difficult to be exactly the same as his calligraphy. With a careful look, one could always find some clues. Lady Qiao Jin looked at the two pieces carefully and said, “This time, the person who imitated your handwriting is much better than the previous one. who could imitate the handwriting so well? If I didn’t carefully read each stroke, I would only think that you wrote it.” Lu Chen said, “King Huai.” King Huai was an expert at imitating other people’s handwriting. This time, he imitated his handwriting to communicate with Xu Mingshuang, presumably to drive a wedge between him and Qiao Jin. Or perhaps, he wanted Xu Mingshuang to fall into his trap. It was not a secret that ambassador Xu Jiedu wanted his wife’s nephew, Xu Mingwei, to take the throne. When Xu Mingwei went to Chang ‘an last year, many wives had gone to inquire about the marriage. Xu Mingshuang was Xu Mingwei’s sister, just like how Zhou Siming would choose to rebel for Zhou Sisi. When Xu Mingwei learned that his sister had been “Abandoned”by the crown prince, it was not necessarily that he would not seek refuge with King Huai. Qiao Jinniang also understood at once. Apart from Xu Mingshuang, everyone present was also smart. Qiao Ruoyin and her husband were just unwilling to take over the position of Jiedu envoy, but they were not stupid. They also understood King Huai’s plan. Xu Jiedu envoy and Xu Mingwei kneeled on the ground. Xu Mingwei said, “Your Highness, my sister was also deceived by King Huai. I hope that Your Highness will forgive me and forgive my Mingshuang. Don’t lower yourself to the level of an ignorant little girl.” Xu Mingshuang said, “Brother, aunt has already compared the handwriting of Your Highness and can prove that these letters were written by Your Highness! What is King Huai deceiving? It must be Lady Qiao Jin who forced Your Highness not to tell lies!” Lu Chen said angrily, “Calling the crown princess by her name is unforgivable. Men, send her to the border mines. Do not allow her to return without my orders.” “Yes!”The guards responded quickly. Qiao Ruofeng said to Lady Qiao, “Finally, someone is treating her. She is only a cousin of the Xu family, but she is almost climbing up to third sister. There is no lack of insults in her words to me! “If it weren’t for the disgrace of the family, I would have begged third uncle to come out and deal with her.” Qiao jinniang smiled and said, “You’ve changed a lot.” “After staying in the military camp for a long time, I’ve become a little more straightforward.”Qiao ruofeng only smiled slightly. Qiao jinniang said, “No, it’s because you know how to distinguish right from wrong. The matter of King Yong can be considered to be completely over.” “Aunt, uncle, brother, save me!”Xu Mingshuang was being held and shouted. Lu Chen glanced at Xu Mingwei and the others. “Are you going to plead for mercy for her?” Xu Mingwei knelt on the ground and said, “Your Highness, my parents died early. It’s because I didn’t take good care of my sister, causing her to be so arrogant. My sister deserves it, and I’m willing to be punished!” Xu Mingshuang, who was being dragged by the guards, shouted, “Xu Mingwei, you are greedy for wealth. I know you want to marry Qiao Ruofeng. Why did she come to Yunzhou? Isn’t it because she lost her reputation in Chang ‘an?”? “You don’t want your own sister because of this woman who lost her reputation?” “You are greedy for the position of Jiedushi. You will have your retribution sooner or later for treating your sister like this!” “Aunt, please save me!” The Xu Jiedushi’s wife looked earnestly at Qiao ruoyin. She thought that she and the Crown Princess consort were cousins after all, so she could plead for mercy, but Qiao Ruoyin turned a deaf ear. Qiao Ruoyin’s husband turned to the Xu Jiedushi’s wife and said, “Mother, cousin has long been spoiled by you. Didn’t you think that our Xu family’s wealth depends on the Qiao family. “I don’t even fancy her, yet she still wants to enter the Eastern Palace. It’s simply a dream. She doesn’t even know that she’s being used. “Are you going to watch as our Xu family is implicated by her alone?” Although Xu Jiedu’s wife doted on this niece who had lost her parents when she was young, she cared more about her own son, so she could only give up. The Jin Niang looked at everyone present and believed that the rumors were true. Qiao Ruoyin was indeed living a good life in Yunzhou. At the very least, she was able to ignore her mother-in-law’s gaze. How could such an ordinary woman have such ability! Thinking about it, the marriage an yuanhou found for Qiao ruoshui could be considered a good marriage. Xu Mingshuang’s interlude did not affect the welcoming banquet this time. The banquet between men always required more discussion. After Qiao Jin Niang finished her meal, she went to Qiao Ruoyin’s room and continued to talk about the private conversation between sisters. When she entered, Qiao ruofeng complained about how Xu Mingshuang bullied a newcomer like her in the army. Qiao ruoyin smiled faintly and said, “This Xu Mingshuang is really stupid. Luckily, Xu Mingwei is someone who knows his place and doesn’t protect his own sister.” Qiao ruowan smiled and said, “After all, Xu Mingwei likes my sister.” Qiao ruofeng gave Qiao Ruowan a gentle punch and said, “Stop talking nonsense. Xu Mingwei and I have nothing to do with each other.” Qiao ruowan said, “Xu Mingwei saved sister’s life. Since second sister is here and Xu Mingshuang has been dealt with, why don’t we let second sister marry you and Xu Mingwei?” Qiao Jinniang:”...”along the way, she had encountered many requests for marriage.
