After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 225: Is he worthy?

Xiao Hanzheng accompanied Shi Qingluo to browse through the next few streets and bought a lot of things.

Since he couldn’t carry all of them, he hired someone to send them back to the manor.

He had to make his little wife have a good time.

The two of them strolled around for the whole afternoon and went out for dinner before returning back home.

Shi Qingluo went to take a shower while Xiao Hanzheng went out for a trip.

When he returned, Shi Qingluo’s hair was dry and she was practising calligraphy in the study.

When she heard him entering, she finished writing the words on the paper before raising her head.

She smiled and asked, “Old Xiao, did you go to cause trouble again?”

Every time her young husband went out like this, he would cause trouble.

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled and said, “My wife understands me better.

“If the third prince’s estate causes trouble, we can return to Nanxi county.”

Shi Qingluo smiled and asked, “Have you made the arrangements?”

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. “Yes. If nothing unexpected happens tonight, there will be a good show.”

......

Shi Qingluo shrugged. “It’s a pity that we won’t be able to see it.”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, “There will be new updates tomorrow.”

At the third prince’s residence.

In the past few days, Fu Wenzheng had been pressured by the empress dowager’s etiquette grannies to learn the imperial rules.

Especially after she became a concubine, the three grannies’ attitudes toward her were even harsher.

Ever since the third prince, he hadn’t come back to the courtyard.

She was full of anger.

After dinner, she kept smashing things in her room.

A few maids were serving her.

A few cats were meowing, and one of the maids’ eyes flashed.

The cats’ meowing meant that the third prince was coming to the courtyard.

She immediately walked to the incense burner and lit it up.

She even threw a small white ball into it and lit it up when no one was looking.

This was a medicine that Xiao Hanzheng had concocted.

It could amplify a person’s emotions.

If a person was calm, there wouldn’t be much effect

However, if a person’s emotions fluctuate greatly, he would become irritable easily.

His reactions might even be slower, and ended up voicing out their thoughts.

Fu Wenzheng was completely tired after smashing the items.

She got someone to bring her wine.

Feeling depressed, she gulped down a few cups and began to curse, “Liang Hengxiao is a bastard. He actually left me alone like this.”

The maid persuaded, “Master, the third prince definitely has his difficulties. Recently, a lot of people have been staring at him.”

Fu Wenzheng snorted coldly. “What difficulties could he have? I think he’s just too useless.”

Then, she began to curse herself.

The rough meaning was that the third prince was born with a poor status with a palace maid as her mother.

That was why he was not valued by the emperor.

Otherwise, how could she be stripped of her status as a prince consort and become a concubine.

At this moment, the third prince had just walked to the door.

When he heard this, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

His face could not help but darken.

He even retracted his hand yet to push the door open.

Fu Wenzheng liked to put on a show.

That was why when she was in the room, she liked the maids to serve her.

That was why there was no one outside.

The maid raised her head and saw a shadow flash by the door.

She immediately probed, “Madam, I heard from the people outside that you and the third prince have known each other since you were young?”

Fu Wenzheng sneered, “When did I know him?”

“My aunt is a favoured concubine. He is just the son of a palace maid.”

Unfortunately, her aunt had never had children and was no longer favoured as she grew old.

Her maid seemed to be stunned, “I heard that you met the third prince when you were young. You even specially gave him a handheld stove.

“There are rumours that you were fated to be married to the third prince back then.

“The third prince must have been too busy these two days, so he didn’t take care of you.”

“Look, the meal rations are still according to the imperial consort’s orders. It must have been the third prince’s orders.”

Others might remember the third prince’s kindness, but this former imperial consort definitely wouldn’t.

She would even look down on him.

As expected, when Fu Wenzheng heard her say this, she became even angrier. “What’s the use of giving orders for my meals? This is all he can do.

“He still wants to compete with others. Someone like him will definitely lose.”

She carefully thought about what the maid said.

Suddenly, she remembered and sneered. “As for giving him the handheld stove, I remember now. It’s not mine.”

The maid led her to ask, “It’s not yours?”

In the past, Fu Wenzheng would not have said this to the maid.

But now, she was especially angry.

She was full of resentment towards Liang Hengxiao. Now that she was a little drunk from drinking and the influence of the incense, she told the truth.

“Yes, at that time, Liang Hengxiao was bullied by the eunuchs.

“My cousin and I saw it when we entered the palace.”

“My cousin saw frostbite on his hand, so she wanted to give him the handheld stove.

“I was afraid that this might delay her meeting to see my aunt, so I took her hand stove and tossed it to Liang Hengxiao.”

“When Liang Hengxiao was young, he was like a little beggar outside.

“How could I specially give him a handheld stove? This would have dirtied my stove.

“Moreover, he is the son of a palace maid. Does he deserve me to give him a stove?”

At that time, her aunt was being doted on.

She couldn’t even be bothered to look at the third prince.

Then, she curled her lips in disdain. “Only my cousin, who likes to put on airs, would be so soft-hearted.

“After that, she even took some ointment and asked me to give it to Liang Hengxiao when she entered the palace. Isn’t that ridiculous?”

These words made Liang Hengxiao, who was standing at the door, stiffen.

His face was filled with astonishment.

He had indeed received a bottle of ointment specially for frostbite after that.

The eunuch who had delivered it to him said that it had been brought by the servant girl of the Northern Jing marquis’ mansion.

Therefore, he had always thought that the person who had delivered the ointment was Fu Wenzheng.

The servant girl seemed to be very surprised. “But someone outside said that you had a good impression of the third prince when you were young, so you married him.”

Fu Wenzheng sneered disdainfully. “Nonsense. If Liang Hengxiao hadn’t gone to ask for the imperial edict and begged me to marry him, I wouldn’t have married him.”

At that time, she wanted to marry the second prince.

Unfortunately, the noble consort chose that slut to be Liang Hengshao’s second prince consort.

She was the eldest daughter of the Northern Jing marquis, so she couldn’t be a concubine.

She also didn’t want to have a slut controlling her.

In addition, Liang Hengshao also wanted her to marry the third prince.

She also thought that her status was only worthy of being a prince consort, so she married him.

However, deep down, she looked down on the third prince.

She only hoped that she could help the second prince rise to the throne.

In the future, she would divorce him and let the second prince bring her into his palace.

Moreover, the second prince’s mother’s family was very prominent in the public administrator house.

He was good-looking and capable.

He had already established himself in the imperial court, so his chances of winning were still very high.

Because of this, after she married him, she did not allow the third prince to touch her at all.

Liang Hengxiao was indeed a good-for-nothing.

Other than his status as the son of a palace maid, he was also willing to lower his own status.

She said that he was not allowed to touch her, so he really did not touch her.

He even claimed that he respected her. S

he only felt like laughing.

She snorted coldly. “Other than liking me, he went to ask for an imperial decree to marry me. Isn’t it because of my family background?”

However, Liang Hengxiao was wrong.

Her father and her eldest brother were already on the second prince’s side.

At this moment, she was already scolding him, and she had been holding it in all this time.

Therefore, she said unhappily, “He’s the son of a palace maid, yet he still wants that position. Is he worthy?”
