After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 213 Decision

When Prince Yu saw Gu Jin here, he knew that their plan had failed.

He originally wanted to keep the peace, but looking at Jiang Fengqi's intimidating aura, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart for no reason.

He sneered and said in a bad tone: "You are in the same room with a man from outside the family. If anyone wants to ask, it should be you whom I ask!"

Madam Jiang was frightened and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, you know that Feng Qi has always been dignified and polite. How could she have a private meeting with a man outside of her family? It must be that Gu Jin is shameless..."

"Mother, that's enough!"

Jiang Fengqi interrupted Mrs. Jiang coldly.

She slowly stood up and walked straight to Prince Yu.

Although she was much shorter than Prince Yu and had to look up to look at him, she was just as imposing as him.

"The fact that Your Highness 'happened' to be here today must have been something he had already discussed with my second sister. A gentleman should act in an upright manner, so why don't you be frank and tell me everything that's on your mind?

This kind of daring to do something is actually despicable."

Prince Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Jiang Fengqi, you are so brave! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because of the love of your grandmother and mother!"

"Fengqi, how could you be so rude to the prince and why don't you apologize!" Madam Jiang felt that Jiang Fengqi was really weird today. She was obviously the most well-behaved person in the past, but today she was disrespectful.

After thinking about it, he realized that he had been led astray by Gu Jin, and the look in his eyes became more and more unfriendly when he looked at Gu Jin.

Gu Jin pretended not to notice and silently pulled out the cloth ball stuffed in the man's mouth.

The man who had been well "taken care of" by Gu Jin was now extremely frightened, and begged Jiang Wanyue, "Second Miss Jiang, please save me quickly. I don't dare to think of marrying up to a rich man anymore. You must save me!"

"What's the matter!"

Mrs. Jiang was even more puzzled when she heard the man say such words to Jiang Wanyue as soon as he opened his mouth.

Jiang Fengqi glanced at Jiang Wanyue, who was keeping her head down and silent, and narrated what had just happened in a flat tone.

The more Mrs. Jiang listened, the colder she felt. She became so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Wanyue hard.

"Bitch, how dare you covet Feng Qi's position as the princess and frame her like this? I will definitely skin you alive!"

Jiang Wanyue's face instantly turned red and swollen. She covered her burning cheeks with her hands, her eyes full of hatred.

Both of them are the legitimate daughters of the Jiang family, but in front of the first wife, she is not even as good as a maid who is respected.

Mrs. Jiang still felt unsatisfied, but Prince Yu did not give her another chance to take action.

Looking at Prince Yu standing in front of Jiang Wanyue, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were full of surprise, "Prince, you..."

"Madam Jiang, how about we just leave it at that?" Prince Yu looked at Madam Jiang coldly. This time he did not call her "aunt", but Madam Jiang naturally understood what he meant.

She just still found it hard to believe. "Your Majesty, Feng Qi is the most outstanding lady in the capital. How can Jiang Wanyue compare to Feng Qi?"

"At least she still cares about family ties and blood ties, unlike some people who only know how to seek good fortune and avoid harm and are selfish and cold-hearted!" Prince Yu spoke righteously, standing on the moral high ground and condescendingly accusing Jiang Fengqi.

This just hit the nail on the head for Gu Jin. What she hated most in her life was seeing people using their sense of morality to hold others hostage.

"Could it be that Prince Yu is referring to the matter concerning Princess Jingmin?"

Prince Yu looked at Gu Jin with gloomy eyes. In his opinion, Gu Jin was also the culprit who caused Princess Jingmin to end up like this.

Gu Jin burst out laughing, "Why is your Highness looking at me like this? Don't you know why the Emperor is like this?

Do you think that I shouldn’t have rescued you at that time, and should have let Your Majesty be poisoned by the love potion Princess Jingmin gave him…”

"Shut up!" Prince Yu shouted.

Although they knew these things, it would be another matter if they spoke them out loud.

Gu Jin spread his hands, "Yeah, right.

You also know that this matter is of great importance. I cannot leave His Majesty alone, so I naturally cannot follow Princess Jingmin's arrangement. If Prince Yu wants to blame me for this, then he is narrow-minded and cannot distinguish right from wrong. Fortunately, you are not such a person."

Gu Jin's indirect criticism made Prince Yu unable to vent his anger.

Gu Jin was not going to let him go just like that, and continued, "Your Majesty has issued an order on this matter, not to mention Feng Qi, even the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine cannot disobey the order, let alone Feng Qi, a girl in the boudoir.

Besides, I heard that even the prince has not gone to His Majesty to plead for mercy. You don't dare to do something, so you don't expect Feng Qi to do it, right?"

Mrs. Jiang had experienced Gu Jin's eloquence before, but today it sounded more pleasing to her ears.

Gu Jin just couldn't stand Prince Yu's hypocritical behavior. He didn't dare to disobey Empress Dowager Jiang and Concubine Jiang, so he picked on Jiang Fengqi, the weak one.

He wanted to resist but was afraid of losing the support of the Jiang family, so he resorted to such sinister and despicable means. It was so disgusting!

After this incident, Jiang Fengqi saw through Prince Yu's character even more. How could such a despicable person be a wise ruler in the future?

"Mother, this is the fact. How do you think we should decide?" Jiang Fengqi looked at Mrs. Jiang with burning eyes, full of expectation.

Mother, please don't let your daughter feel discouraged...
