Chapter 47 Jumping Up
Qian Fengqin laughed smugly, "So, the reason why the Marquis of Changning's family was stripped of its title is all because of Shangguan Zisu's machinations. She took the initiative to break off her engagement with my cousin on the condition that he help you prevent your father from inheriting the title!"
"What? Damn it, damn it! It was her, it could be her! That damned thing, that shameless thing, that despicable thing!" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhihua was instantly enraged and couldn't help but jump up and down, cursing under her breath.
Her father's title, her marquis's title, her life as a noble lady—all ruined by that shameless scoundrel! There's no justice! Is there no justice left?!
If we weren't in public, and she had to be mindful of her image, she would definitely yell and curse, even becoming hysterical and unleashing a torrent of curses. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to quell her anger, nor relieve her frustration and resentment.
Qian Fengqin stood gracefully to one side, a smug smile on her face, with a hint of mockery at the corners of her lips.
Hmph! The women of the Shangguan family are all beneath contempt. One is vicious, the other insane—both are despicable. But perhaps this is for the best; we can use the insane one to strike at and scheme against the vicious one, eliminating any future trouble!
A woman who was engaged to her cousin deserves to die! How could anyone else dare to touch Qian Fengqin's beloved! The thought of Shangguan Zisu meeting with her cousin alone at Shili Xiang made her heart burn like fire, filled with an uncontrollable hatred for Shangguan Zisu, and her eyes flashed with resentment.
At this very moment, Zisu was listening intently to Aunt Yao's teachings and diligently practicing martial arts. Suddenly, she couldn't help but shiver. A bad feeling flashed through her mind. Her sixth sense told her that someone seemed to be plotting against her.
Then, I felt relieved.
No worries, she'll deal with whatever comes her way. She's not one to worry unnecessarily.
Having been reborn, she has already weathered the greatest crisis. Now, all she needs to do is diligently study literature and martial arts to improve her self-defense skills and gain something to be proud of. Furthermore, by maintaining a kind heart, she will surely find a good marriage in the future; her rebirth will definitely not have been in vain!
In the blink of an eye, the soybeans and mung beans were ripe. Zisu hired five honest and hardworking farmers, and in just three days, all the beans were harvested. The harvested beans, along with their pods, were spread out on the drying ground at Xiaoshitan to dry in the fine weather.
They hired five hardworking women in their twenties and thirties, who spent two days grinding all the beans. The ground beans were then dried, and the pods were used as firewood for cooking.
Beijing.
The memorial submitted by the Prefect of Yulin County on behalf of Zisu, requesting commendation, finally reached the Emperor's ears. This memorial had been deliberately suppressed for several months by the Rong'an Prince's men, but finally, through the Prefect's connections, it was seen by the Emperor.
The Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, ultimately reprimanding Prince Rong'an.
At this time, the matter of perilla improving rice cultivation methods came to the emperor's attention again through a memorial from the prefect.
Rumors that Zisu had generously provided Yu Zhe with manpower and resources, helping him establish a foothold in Yi County, stabilize local morale, and repel more than ten attacks by the Yi people, also reached the Emperor's ears.
The Emperor was overjoyed: "Good girl, worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Protector General, I will reward you handsomely!"
