The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Yi Dingyao sat down: "You all get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shufei got up, and Xiu Luoran also got up.

Yi Dingyao looked at Xiu Luoran. She had a delicate appearance and a smart look in her eyes. It was obvious at first glance that she was not a person who would be content with what she was doing.

Well, as the daughter-in-law of a royal family, it is better to be powerful than cowardly.

He saw that Concubine Shu was hesitant to speak:

"My dear, do you have anything to say?"

Concubine Shu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, look at her. How can she be the daughter-in-law of our royal family?"

Yi Dingyao glanced at Xiu Luoran again:

"It looks OK to me."

"Your Majesty, that's because you didn't see how she looked just now. She was neither well-mannered nor well-behaved.

Even if we haven't married yet, I'm not her mother-in-law, but I'm still the head of the palace, right? She should be more respectful to me, right?

She is so good that she actually kicked my man down. I dare not want such a daughter-in-law."

Xiu Luoran added: "I don't dare to marry a mother-in-law like your majesty."

After hearing this, Yi Dingyao emphasized:

"So, you all have objections to my decision?"

Shufei's head drooped down, almost touching the ground.

Xiu Luoran said calmly: "Your Majesty, I know this is a bit disrespectful, but I still want to say it.

This marriage is a union of two families, and it is based on mutual consent.

But you have also seen that Concubine Shu is obviously not happy.

As for the Fourth Prince, he is extremely unhappy about it, and I am even less happy about it.

Why?

With a husband like this and a mother-in-law like this, I didn't like them before they even got married. How can I expect they will still be nice to me after I got married?

so……"

Xiu Luoran also knelt down when he said this:

"The Concubine Shu wants to cancel the engagement, the Fourth Prince also wants to cancel the engagement, and I also want to cancel the engagement. Please grant our wish, Your Majesty."

Yi Dingyao looked at Concubine Shu and Xiu Luoran for a long time before slowly asking Xiu Luoran:

"I heard that you paid for repairing the main road in the capital?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You are rich?"

Xiu Luoran said happily:

“My mother’s dowry was very generous, and my father and brothers promised to give me all of my mother’s dowry and I could spend it as I pleased.

I don't like riding in a sedan chair or a carriage, I just like riding on horseback.

The roads in our capital are well built, but they are a little narrow.

I'll pay to make it wider, it's good for everyone, hehe."

Yi Dingyao asked again: "Did you cut down all the lotus flowers and leaves in the lotus pond of Prince Shun's mansion?"

Xiu Luoran lowered his head in embarrassment:

"That... when I went to the palace to admire the flowers, the ladies wanted to chase me away, and I got angry...

I was wrong, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Concubine Shu said, "Your Majesty, listen to this, he keeps saying 'I...I...'."

Xiu Luoran said bluntly:

"My Lady Shufei, I just said that I am not happy with the marriage between our two families, and I have no choice but to cancel it.

That's all I am saying. Please stop bringing it up.

Everyone knows that I grew up in a nunnery, a child without a mother. You can't ask too much of me.

Otherwise, the emperor is here, and you can ask him to cancel the engagement between our two families.

Otherwise, just accept me as your daughter-in-law.

No matter how angry or dissatisfied you are, I will not change. I think I am fine the way I am."

Seeing Yi Dingyao's gloomy face, Concubine Shu didn't dare to say anything.

After a long time, Yi Dingyao spoke:

"Don't ever mention the matter of canceling the engagement again."

After saying that, Yi Dingyao left Shuxin Palace.

Not long after he left, Xiu Luoran bowed to Concubine Shu, and without waiting for Concubine Shu to say anything, she left.

Concubine Shu was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she couldn't do anything to Xiu Luoran.

Xiu Luoran walked home while thinking about what had just happened.

Why doesn’t the emperor agree to cancel the engagement?

Could it be that there is something about me that interests him?

If she was told that it was for the sake of Xiu's family, she would never believe it.

Although the Xiu family has some reputation, it is still far behind the real big families.

Xiu Luoran weighed the options and decided that, based on the current situation, her identity as the "Fourth Prince's fiancée" was more advantageous to her.

Although Concubine Shu and her son did not take her seriously, this identity was still very useful in intimidating those officials and their families.

Besides, with this identity, she doesn't have to worry about her marriage anymore, she won't be urged to get married, and she doesn't have to go on blind dates, which is good.

Concubine Shu was very unhappy with her and estimated that they would not get married in the short term, so she was content and at ease.

It won’t be too late to find a way to cancel the engagement once she figures out the emperor’s intentions.

Thinking of this, she went home feeling relieved.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiu Lingqun walking around in her room.

"Third brother."

"Luoluo, you're back? Did Concubine Shu give you any trouble?"

"No. Did you get things done?"

Xiu Lingqun smiled: "It went quite smoothly."

Xiu Lingqun talked about how they “made money”.

Here's the thing.

Xiu Lingqun built an "intelligence station" according to Xiu Luoran's suggestion. He "recruited" four "beggar teams" to collect intelligence for him.

He was very generous in giving money, and the people at the intelligence station worked very hard. The supervisor sent all of them out, and a lot of information was collected every day.

After being sorted and summarized, they are archived and kept. Of course, these things have to be done by people who can read.

Xiu Luoran paid for the road construction, and she felt bad about spending her own money, so she decided to find someone to help her pay.

She happened to see that among the information collected by Xiu Lingqun's intelligence station, there was one about an official's mansion where a female corpse was thrown out of the back door at night.

The people at the intelligence station felt that this information might be of great use.

So, they did their best to investigate the official's recent activities and the latest situation in his mansion.

As a result, they really discovered a big problem.

This official came from an imperial merchant family. Because he was handsome, he married the daughter of a high-ranking official.

Later, with the help of his father-in-law, he was promoted to the fifth rank.

He was rich, powerful and handsome, and was a playboy before he became an official. After he got married and became an official, he became more restrained.

But as time went on, old habits died hard, and he began to frequent places of entertainment again.

At a party, he fell in love at first sight with the concubine's daughter of a high-ranking official. They were so attracted to each other that they got together that very day.

Because his wife went back to her parents' home, he became bolder and brought the woman home, where they spent a few days happily together.

His wife was about to come back, and he suddenly became afraid, so he sent the concubine back home.

But who knew that this concubine's daughter was determined to marry into the family and made a big fuss about becoming a concubine.

Not to mention his aunt, even if he looked at a maid for a few more seconds, his wife would beat and scold him, and even beat the maid half to death in public.

What would happen if I knew he had a woman?

He tried to chase her out, but the concubine refused to leave. He beat her up, perhaps on purpose, or perhaps because he didn't control his strength well, and ended up beating her to death.

Fortunately, when this woman came to the house, she went through the back door and no one saw her.

That night, the official called two reliable men and took the woman away through the back door on a cart.

At night, the city gates were closed and people could not get out, so they took people to a dilapidated house that had been in disrepair for a long time and no one lived in it.

There was a dry well in the house. They threw the person into the well, threw some stones and soil into the well, and then went back.

They thought they were doing it secretly, but they didn't know that two beggars were following them the whole time and saw everything clearly.
