Chapter 2168 Follow Me Back to Your Uncle’s House
"It's not that we are familiar with each other. Princess Jiahui is the daughter of the eldest princess. The eldest princess was unknown earlier and had no sense of existence. She couldn't speak in front of the late emperor. But the year before last, the capital was in chaos, and the eldest princess happened to enter the palace to pay tribute to the queen. She delivered something and blocked the queen's sword when she encountered an assassin. This caught the emperor's eye, and later the emperor canonized her daughter as Princess Jiahui."
Although she was a princess in the past, she was not taken seriously. Now that she has gained power, she is inevitably a bit arrogant.
But it would be too much to be so arrogant as to harm someone's wife and replace him.
Shu Yu felt strange, "How could she be so sure that if something happened to my sister-in-law, she would become Mrs. Xiang?"
"Because of that sword, Queen Nianqing and the eldest princess have become very close this year. Maybe Princess Jiahui feels that it is not difficult to ask for an imperial edict based on their current relationship."
While speaking, Xiang Weinan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ruojun.
The latter didn't react at first, but he understood it the next moment, and his face looked a little ugly at the moment.
This Princess Jiahui wants to imitate her methods. Earlier, the marriage between her and Xiang Weinan was begged by the former Xiao Guifei. Now she went to the queen to ask for it...
Shu Yu actually sympathized with Xiang Weinan inexplicably. Why did these two people who wanted to marry him not take the right path?
Xiao Ruojun felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry."
Xiang Weinan said, "It's all in the past. You are my wife now. There is no need to look back. What matters now is the matter of Princess Jiahui. It is different now than before. Even if Princess Jiahui goes to beg the queen, the emperor's The edge will also block it.”
In the past, the late emperor did not want to see the Xiang family, so when Concubine Xiao asked, the late emperor thought it was not a big deal, so he still favored the Xiao family and agreed directly without asking Xiang Weinan or his parents.
At that time, Xiang Weinan didn't have the capital to resist the decree, and he didn't want to expose his secret defection to the fifth prince, so the marriage was settled.
It's different now. His friendship with Jin Shang is still there. The emperor was also aware of his resistance to the marriage grant. As a minister of the emperor, he would not rashly issue an order without asking.
So Xiang Weinan is not worried, what he is worried about is...
"Although the emperor will not grant marriage, this will happen later. The top priority now is whether Princess Jiahui really wants to harm Ruojun. If it is true, we naturally cannot let it go. I will investigate this matter after I return, but Now, Ruojun, you have to come back to my uncle’s residence with me.”
Xiang Weinan turned to look at Xiao Ruojun with a serious expression.
Xiao Ruojun was stunned, "But..."
"Zhuangzi is far away from the city. If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it."
Shu Yu agreed with this, "There are few people in Zhuangzi and there are many people coming and going. It's too easy to do something. When you return to the uncle's house, even if Princess Jiahui really wants to harm you, it won't be that easy." of."
She believed that with Xiang Weinan's ability, he could seal the siege of the uncle's house, at least not by a princess who had become powerful at once.
Xiao Ruojun hesitated for a long time. Although she looked down upon many things now, she still cherished her life.
Seeing Xiang Weinan's solemn expression, she finally nodded, but still hesitated, "Then my parents..."
"I will send people to keep an eye on my father-in-law and mother-in-law's side. Their target is you. When you return to the city, they won't do anything to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
