After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure-Chapter 568 - 568 Completely subverted their imagination

568 Completely subverted their imagination

Liang Yujun left with a darkened face.

Liang Yulin sent someone to investigate the matter.

After receiving the updates, he went to the courtyard next door.

Every day at noon, Xiao Hanzheng would try his best to come back to have lunch with his family and then take a short break.

He had just woken up from his lunch break, washed up, changed his clothes, and went out.

He met Prince Yi at the door.

“Is Your Highness looking for me?” he asked.

After coming to Northern City, his mother befriended a few women who also liked to cook, and now they were going shopping together.

His wife and sister also went to the banquet.

Therefore, when Prince Yi came at this time, he would only be looking for him.

“Yeah, I came over to chat with you for a while.” Liang Yulin smiled and nodded.

“Let’s talk while we walk.”

The magistrate’s office was on the next street, and it took about a cup of tea’s time to walk there.

“Prince Jin came to see me just now. Other than trying to test if I’m serious about marrying your mother, he also wants his family to marry with the Xiao family,” Liang Yujun said as they walked.

Xiao Hanzheng frowned slightly. “Marry? With Baili?”

Liang Yulin nodded. “That’s right. He wants his third son to marry Baili.

“But I gave him a good scolding, and rejected him.”

“His useless third son, who has so many concubines in his backyard, is not worthy of our Baili.

He patted Xiao Hanzheng’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll deal with Prince Jin.”

He narrowed his eyes, with a bit of coldness and ruthlessness, and said, “He doesn’t dare have any ideas about Baili for his son anymore. Otherwise, I’ll make all his sons become eunuchs.”

It was obvious that he wasn’t trying to intimidate Prince Jin.

As long as he dared to lay his hands on his eldest daughter, he would really do it.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “Thank you, Your Highness.”

He was touched by how Prince Yi protected his sister.

Of course, if Prince Jin came to propose marriage to him, he would also reject it.

However, Prince Yi’s appearance could indeed serve as a better deterrent.

Liang Yulin’s smile deepened. “We’re a family. There’s no need to be so polite.”

“I’ve just sent someone to check,” he said in a low voice. “Not only are there some aristocratic families in the capital trying to get Baili, but it’s also the same in Northern City.

“Especially the families that have completely sided with Prince Jin. They’ve sent their people to find opportunities to get in touch with Baili.

“They want their descendents to marry Baili, so that their family can have an alternative way out as a backup.”

Xiao Hanzheng knew what he meant. “I understand. I’ll talk to my wife and ask my sister to stay with her for the time being. Try not to go out alone”.

The families that sought refuge with Prince Jin, regardless of whether they were threatened, bribed, or wanted to obtain credit from him, the dragon, they were all prepared if Prince Jin’s rebellion failed.

If Prince Jin was successful, they would follow him and climb higher.

If Prince Jin failed, their families would either be in dire straits or be exiled or beheaded.

These families must have received the news that Prince Yi was going to marry his mother.

If their son married his sister, and if Prince Jin failed in the future, the emperor would be lenient on Baili’s husband for the sake of Prince Yi.

Hence, they would be able to leave behind the hope of reviving their clan and even continuing their clan’s bloodline.

Of course, it was also because of this that those legitimate sons used for marriage were definitely not usually valued, and they might even be dandies.

This was wishful thinking, it still depended on whether they agreed or not.

Liang Yulin knew that his eldest son was the smartest, he understood when he hinted on it slightly.

He patted Xiao Hanzheng’s shoulder again. so long as you know what you’re doing.

The two of them chatted for a while.

Prince Yi sent Xiao Hanzheng to the door of the yamen and left with his entourage.

Prince Jin and many influential families in Northern City were watching Prince Yi’s every move.

They were surprised to hear that Prince Yi had personally sent Xiao Hanzheng to the yamen.

This showed that Prince Yi valued Xiao Hanzheng’s mother and his siblings.

So he decided to try his best to facilitate the marriage with the Xiao family.

He sent someone to send a message to the Madams in his family, who were attending Mdm Tu’s banquet, to ask and test whether Shi Qingluo had any intention of getting married.

The banquet hadn’t started yet, so the manservants kept sending messages to the maidservants, which didn’t attract much attention.

Shi Qingluo, Xi Rong, and Xiao Baili were also welcomed in by Mdm Tu’s maidservant.

Mdm Tu didn’t make things difficult for Shi Qingluo and the other two when them came.

She sent her head maidservant.

However, when they were seated, they arranged for Shi Qingluo and the other two to sit at the back.

This also meant that they weren’t given special attention.

...

Shi Qingluo did not care about this.

After sitting down, she took a cup of tea from the maidservant and drank it.

Just as she had guessed, not all of the madams and young ladies of the aristocratic families in Northern City looked down on her and wanted to be on bad terms with her.

There were also those who wanted to form a good relationship.

Most of these aristocratic families maintained a neutral stance in the conflict between Prince Jin and the emperor.

There were even some who had secretly joined the emperor’s side, but Prince Jin did not know about it.

These madams and young ladies would take the initiative to talk to Shi Qingluo.

Shi Qingluo was born into a wealthy family in the modern world, so elegance and etiquette were already engraved in her bones.

In addition, she had a cheerful personality and was good at socializing.

Soon, she was chatting and laughing with these madams, talking about everyday things.

Her speech and actions were natural and unrestrained, she was totally not like the village women everyone had imagined.

...

Many people had actually thought that Shi Qingluo would attend the banquet in a princess’s palace dress to show off her identity as a princess and hide her past as a farmer’s daughter.

Almost none of the madams and young ladies who came to the banquet had seen Shi Qingluo.

They imagined Shi Qingluo to be a rough-looking, vulgar village woman.

It was like the feeling of a servant girl helping out in the kitchen at home.

But when they saw Shi Qingluo dressed in a light yellow dress, they were all taken aback.

Although she was dressed simply, every piece of jewelry she wore was just right.

Moreover, the observant madams could tell that the dress Shi Qingluo was wearing was made of the natural silk gifted by the emperor.

The jewelry she was wearing was not only fashionable and beautiful, but also expensive.

Therefore, although it seemed simple and refreshing, it also revealed a low-key luxury and did not lower her status as a princess.

Her appearance was so beautiful that others would be stunned at first glance.

She gave off a bright charm and agility that people could not ignore. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

That’s right, after such a long period of recuperation, Shi Qingluo’s appearance and skin condition had already recovered to their utmost conditions.

In addition to her unique temperament and the etiquette she had developed in her previous life to attend the banquet, it made these people, who saw her for the first time, feel a kind of amazement.

Shi Qingluo’s image had completely subverted the imaginations of the madams and young ladies.

They thought to themselves, how is this a village woman? She clearly looks like a young lady from a large family in the capital.

The madams and young ladies who wanted to befriend her took the initiative to chat with her , and they were even more shocked.

Because no matter what they talked about, Shi Qingluo was able to calmly follow up. Her standards were clearly very high.

Many people stopped looking down on Shi Qingluo because she was a village girl at this point.

Instead, they thought that she was indeed the disciple of the old immortal, and she looked quite imposing.

If Shi Qingluo knew what these people were thinking, she would probably not know whether to laugh or cry.

She’ll go back and light a few incense sticks for her master. Thank you for your protection.
