Chapter 4
Within three days, all the prominent figures in Jincheng knew about it.

The life of the richest man's daughter hangs by a thread.

For a while, the Du Mansion was crowded with people.

The dignitaries who came to visit "Sheng Jiao'e" did not stop from morning to night, and some even waited for half a month, and there were countless people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Except for Sheng Fengxue, everyone in the Du Mansion didn't look very good-looking.

Du Wanquan had a headache from being quarreled with the snowflakes of invitations every day. He was not good at getting angry in front of people, and he had already broken several sets of expensive teacups at home.

Xu Xian was busy welcoming the lady during the day, her feet never touched the ground, she finally had a rest at night, and she had to face Du Wanquan's old stinky face again, and was scolded every day.

She has considered herself the head of the house for many years, and she has a lot of glory in front of others, but she dare not even climb on the bed of the head of the house at night.

The most irritable among them was Du Jiaoniang.

After all, there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Even if they try their best to hide the Du family's messy affairs, they will still accidentally leak a little information.

If others dare not say it in front of you, don't they dare to discuss it behind your back?
Those courageous and high-status official ladies would often surround Du Jiaoniang and ask her about Sheng Jiao'e.

Du Jiaoniang was going to be pissed off!
But since ancient times, the officials are more important than the people. Although the Du family is the richest man in Jincheng, they have some contact and involvement with the officials, but they are all private and sneaky. Du Jiaoniang dare not show it to the public.

I can only swallow my anger and smile every day, and turn my head to vent my anger on the servant girl.

Du Jiaoniang's hatred for Sheng Fengxue was increasing day by day, the more people came to inquire about Sheng Jiao'e, and the more young masters from aristocratic families showed admiration for Sheng Jiaoer, the more Du Jiaoniang hated Sheng Fengxue.

Now there are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at Sheng Fengxue both openly and secretly, even if Du Jiaoniang wished to cut this sister into pieces, she would not dare to do it rashly.

Both she and Xu Xian suspected that it was the work of "Sheng Jiao'e", but when they thought of Sheng Jiao'e's frail body and cowardly temperament, they could no longer doubt it.

After all, since Sheng Fengxue woke up, she has never left the boudoir, nor has she seen anyone other than the Du family.

As for Du Jinyu, every day in a group of warblers and swallows, he does not think about it.

About half a month later, His Royal Highness, who had heard the news a long time ago, finally couldn't sit still, and took advantage of the lack of people, sneaked into Du's residence.

Huan Rizhu wants to be the king of a country, and has been planning for many years. He has long secretly wanted to kick the emperor's stepfather off the throne.

If you want to rebel, you have to recruit troops.

If you want to recruit soldiers and horses, you have to spend money.

The Du family is not only rich, but also has a century-old family behind it - the Sheng family.

He has reached a secret agreement with Du Wanquan. If he can become a great treasure in the future, then he will make the Du family the richest man in the Ring of Japan.

Du Wanquan was the son-in-law of the Sheng family. Sheng Jiao'e's mother died early, so she gave birth to Sheng Jiao'e.

The Sheng family was sparsely populated, if they could marry Sheng Jiao'e, it would be equivalent to holding half of the Sheng family's property in their hands.

At dusk when the snow stopped, Huan Rizhu finally came to the pavilion outside Sheng Jiao'e's boudoir according to Sheng Fengxue's plan.

Unmarried women are not allowed to have private meetings with men alone. If they find out, they will be served by the family law, or immersed in a pig cage. If the circumstances are serious, they may be beheaded in court.

In order not to tarnish Sheng Jiao'e's reputation, and to show her integrity, Huan Rizhu chose to meet "Sheng Jiao'e" in this pavilion that is ventilated on all sides, cool in winter and warm in summer.

At this point, Sheng Fengxue finally saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince whom Du Jiaoniang wanted to marry.

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, round and jade-like, wearing a satin robe with dark patterns, embroidered with gold silk, embroidered with dragons soaring above the clouds, long ink-like hair fastened by warm jade fat, with wide sleeves waved, it is unspeakably expensive.

In high spirits, he reprimanded Fang Qiu.

Sheng Fengxue was supported by the maid to salute, and then she sat silently on the edge of the fire, looking at the person in front of her, completely disappointed.

It's not as good as one ten-thousandth of her paper man's husband.

Although he had a youthful face, he had a weakness that obviously didn't match his age, and his whole face was pale and pale, similar to Du Jinyu's.

The boss who asked her to work overtime without pay has been acting like this for a long time. At first, she thought it was just that the boss was in poor health. It wasn't until not long ago that the boss secretly introduced her to work as a third party, and then she didn't know.

It turns out that there is no lower limit to a man's scum!

The proprietress has already given birth to two daughters and a son for him, and he still has to go outside to mess around.

I was planning to resign at the end of the month, but I came here out of nowhere.

Sheng Fengxue sighed.

When everyone who was talking freely heard her sigh, they all turned their heads.

Du Wanquan frowned, Xu Xian's mother and daughter looked at Sheng Fengxue in fear, Du Jinyu didn't even refill the wine for His Royal Highness, and turned to look over.

"elder sister."

Du Jiaoniang, who was closest to His Royal Highness the Prince, stood up first, yelled, and then with a worried expression on her face, she deliberately twisted her waist and swayed in front of Huan Rizhu, and walked towards Sheng Fengxue with three steps, pretending to be Sensible concern asked: "But, what's wrong?"

His Highness the Crown Prince was talking about the way of governing the country with Du Wanquan just now, and Du Jiaoniang obviously wanted Huan Rizhu to misunderstand Sheng Fengxue's opinion on what he said.

Sheng Fengxue directly ignored Du Jiaoniang who wanted to start a fight, and motioned to the maid to help her up, and when she stood still, she saluted Huan Rizhu again, and then spoke softly.

"Jiao'e's body is not very comfortable, and she accidentally injured her leg a few days ago. Now it is less than five months before His Highness chooses a concubine. His Highness Wanwang forgives her sins. kindness."

It has long been familiar with memorization, and now it is at my fingertips.

Hearing the sincere words, coupled with Sheng Fengxue's appearance of crying, Huan Rizhu's face changed a few times, and then he turned to look at Du Wanquan.

Du Wanquan never expected that his daughter, who has always been timid, would come up with this move. He stood up in a hurry, and before he had time to think about it, he said: "Jiao'e has not been in good health since she was a child, it's up to you Her mother who passed away early, hehe..."

He couldn't continue with the latter words, so he had to stand where he was and laugh with embarrassment.

Sheng Fengxue wanted to express too many meanings, and if she was not careful, she would be misinterpreted. Du Jiaoniang wanted to speak, but Xu Xian blocked her with a look.

The marriage between Sheng Jiao'e and Huan Rizhu said on the surface that it would go through a concubine selection ceremony, but in fact, it was considered a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and the concubine selection ceremony was just a formality.

Huan Rizhu almost had a falling out with the emperor's stepfather in order to marry Sheng Jiao'e, the number one beauty in Jincheng whom he had wanted for a long time. If he hadn't missed his old love, how could the emperor have agreed to this marriage so easily?

Huan Rizhu really didn't have that ability, but his excessive momentum had already aroused the dissatisfaction of His Majesty the Emperor.

Sheng Jiao'e was accidentally injured, which had already ruined his progress in the cause of the rebellion, and now seeing her in such a weak state, the more Sheng Fengxue blamed herself, the more Huan Rizhu would feel that the Du Mansion was ineffective.

In addition, the two had disagreements before, and the friction was increasing day by day. Huan Rizhu had long wanted to find an opportunity to teach this disobedient dog slave some lessons!
