Chapter 2022: Miserable Fiancée vs. Heiress of a Powerful Family (Part 57)

Chen Mingzhu indeed did not dare to act recklessly.

Before coming here, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi had cautioned her: whether or not she could successfully seek help from County Princess Si Fang, she must never make an enemy of her.

To everyone in the Capital City, this County Princess Si Fang seemed to have appeared from thin air.

First, the Flower King Pavilion was suddenly involved with the always exalted Prince Ping’s Mansion, and soon after, such a puzzling decree came down from the palace.

No one knew what kind of mysterious authority was behind this County Princess Si Fang, who had never appeared before.

The Lady of the Marquis Mingyi was very aware of the current situation of the Marquis’s Mansion; now, it was just a façade.

In such a time, offending a county princess of unknown background, who also carried a title, was clearly not a wise choice.

So Chen Mingzhu...endured!

Of course, in her own mind, it was out of respect for her mother’s instructions that she refrained from confronting County Princess Si Fang.

If Gu Shengyin knew her thoughts, she would almost laugh out loud.

She indeed wanted to see how Chen Mingzhu planned to confront her.

Returning to the mansion, Chen Mingzhu had no choice but to report what had transpired to her mother, despite her extreme reluctance.

Upon hearing her daughter had quarreled with County Princess Si Fang, the Lady of Marquis Mingyi nearly fainted.

She looked at Chen Mingzhu with an expression that made Chen Mingzhu feel uneasy.

The Lady of the Marquis Mingyi was disappointed in such a daughter, and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

She recalled the time when she still had some hopes for Marquis Mingyi, not paying much attention to her young daughter and instead focused on bearing a legitimate son.

But in the end, not only did she fail to have a legitimate son, her daughter grew distant from her and was influenced by foolish people.

To this day, Chen Mingzhu’s respect for her mother was more out of fear than admiration.

Thinking of this, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi felt even more depressed.

Unfortunately, she could not voice her thoughts, nor did she wish to see her daughter who made a mess of everything.

"You may leave." She said calmly, pressing her aching forehead.

Chen Mingzhu sighed with relief; she had no desire to face her always stern-faced mother.

Seeing her daughter leave without a single word of concern and looking relieved, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi felt even more disappointed.

Sometimes, she genuinely felt that she must have sinned to end up marrying into this mansion and having such a daughter.

At this moment, the Lady of the Marquis Mingyi was pondering whether to find a way to mend relations with the Flower King Pavilion, and what kind of gift would catch the eye for the Old Empress Dowager An?

Before she could think further, another royal decree from the palace shook the entire Capital City.

His Majesty personally issued a decree to betroth Prince Ping and County Princess Si Fang!

Who was Prince Ping?

The Da Ming Dynasty’s first King with a Different Surname, the son of the Eldest Princess!

With the standing of Prince Ping’s Mansion, it was not surprising for the Imperial Family to offer a princess in marriage to it.

But unexpectedly, the Imperial Family gave Prince Ping a bride who had only recently appeared in the Capital City, County Princess Si Fang.

Who was County Princess Si Fang?

Simply an unheard-of commoner girl.

Even with the title of county princess, it could not erase the fact that she had no foundational power behind her.

Many Prominent families secretly speculated and observed, uncertain of what reaction Prince Ping’s Mansion would have?

First, two watches of the night.

Hmm, if nothing unexpected happens, Fourth Watch branch will say goodbye to everyone; Eighth Watch branch will soon return.

Do you miss her? [Cold face]
