Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 356 The Last Hope is Gone

Princess Tianhua patted Zuo Yuanying on the shoulder and said, “Why is everyone silent? And why are you looking at the daughter of Marquis Pingxi with such strange eyes, as if you were... as if..."

"It's like you saw something strange, right?" Zuo Yuanying took over Princess Tianhua's words.

"Yes, do you know something that I don't know?" Princess Tianhua became even more curious.

"You can ask Princess Wuyang. Princess Wuyang is from the inner guards. She knows all the secret information."

Princess Tianhua turned around and said: "Meet Princess Wuyang. I heard that you are..."

Princess Wuyang turned around and started whispering to Lord Tianhua.

After a while, Princess Tianhua turned around in a daze and said, "I really don't have much experience. What cousin? They are purely financially related. And isn't this hobby a bit too weird?"

The next moment, Princess Tianhua clenched her fists and said, "Why don't I go to the inner guard? This inner guard is more interesting than other officials. It knows the privacy of all the ministers. Well, does my father have any privacy? Let me ask the princess later."

On the other hand, Marquis Pingxi has already begun to consider whether his only remaining daughter can take over the burden of the Marquis Pingxi Mansion.

This daughter has absolutely no problem with her learning ability and she has a good temperament. As long as she is well educated, there will be no problem in maintaining the Pingxi Marquis Mansion until the next generation is brought up.

If this daughter is really not capable of doing anything, the worst that can happen is that I try again and give birth to another son. Anyway, no matter what, the Pingxi Marquis Mansion must not be left to my younger brother.

[Oh my god, has the tomb of Pingxi Hou been dug up? His little daughter is about to be tricked away by Huang Mao, and the two are planning to elope at night.]

Yellow hair, elope.

The officials present pricked up their ears.

The ancestral tomb of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion must have been dug up, otherwise how could so many things happen in one day.

And what is yellow hair?

An official whispered, "I heard from people who came back from the sea that people in some overseas countries have yellow hair. Miss Cheng wants to elope with someone from overseas."

"That shouldn't be the case. There shouldn't be anyone from overseas in our capital."

"Yes." The person who spoke reacted and realized that if a man with yellow hair appeared in the capital, it would definitely cause a sensation. There was no reason for an official like him not to know about it.

Then...what is yellow hair?

Pingxi Hou covered his chest with his hands, and could hardly breathe.

The wife of Pingxi Marquis looked at her husband coldly, his expression changing from moment to moment. How could anger be divided into stages and progress little by little?

Seeing that Pingxihou was about to collapse, the inner guard walked up to Pingxihou's wife and whispered, "I am from the inner guard. Your little daughter is planning to elope with someone tonight."

"Ow~~~"

The wife of Marquis Pingxi let out a cry and ran towards the backyard, pulling her son with her.

[This yellow-haired guy is quite good at deceiving people. The little daughter of Pingxi Hou has also been brainwashed. Her background has never been a problem. As long as you and I can be together, it's fine. As for the money, you can ask your father for more when the time comes. My father is Pingxi Hou. It's just a little money. It's nothing.]

[I've promised this yellow-haired man that we'll have a done deal with him. By then, it will be too late for Pingxi Hou to refuse.]

Pingxi Hou said that he did not want to be taken advantage of, so he struggled to get up and ran towards the backyard.

[Hey, this yellow-haired guy is actually a distant cousin of an official in the court. ]

[Who is it that such a wicked thing appeared in the family? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials felt their backs tighten, praying that this distant cousin was not one of their own, otherwise they would be the next to win the bid.

[I've also seen him, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the man whose son smashed his uncle's carriage.]

The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice twitched his cheeks. Great! He won the bid.

There is indeed a nephew from my family living in my house. He came to participate in this imperial examination. That nephew once asked me to find a better in-law for him.

I rejected it outright because the boy had mediocre talents and might never pass the imperial examination. No official family wanted a son-in-law with mediocre abilities.

I didn't expect that if I didn't find him, he would take action on his own.

[Huang Mao has already made up his mind. When Miss Cheng becomes pregnant, he will drag Miss Cheng to force her to marry him. If the Pingxi Marquis Mansion does not give him a dowry of 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, he will not agree to marry Miss Cheng. He will also let everyone in the capital know that the young lady of the Pingxi Marquis Mansion eloped with someone.]

[He also wanted to use this as leverage to get Pingxi Marquis Mansion to pave the way for his career, and when he was made a marquis and appointed prime minister, he would kick Pingxi Marquis Mansion out of the water, and even better, accuse Pingxi Marquis Mansion of treason, have his entire family executed, and then marry another woman from a high-class family.]

[Hiss~~~ What kind of black-hearted person is this? He wants to eat up the Pingxi Marquis Mansion completely. ]

"Sigh~~"

All the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Where did this naive person come from? She wants to rely on her belly to make the people in Pingxi Marquis' Mansion a fool. Does she really think that this Marquis' Mansion is made of mud?

It's not easy to deal with a scholar like you. If you meet bandits on the road, accidentally enter a casino, or get involved in a fight, any accident can kill you.

Where does he get the confidence to control the Marquis' Mansion?

The Pingxi Marquisate is not as good as it used to be. It is also being compared with other marquisates in the capital. It is not a juren. A small juren still wants to plot against the marquisate. Where is his brain?

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice was a little anxious just now, but now he is not so anxious anymore. Even if a man with such a brain can deceive the young lady of the Marquis of Pingxi, the Marquis of Pingxi and his wife will make him pay for it.

[There is also the matter of the family of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice! ]

Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice: Is there anything else I can ask?

He is just an unrelated relative, but we let him live in our house for the sake of being of the same clan. What else does he want to do?
