After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Chapter 242: My sister’s thank you gift is so insincere

The great eunuch respectfully presented the imperial edict to the eldest princess: "Your Highness, will you accept the edict?"

The Zhao family all looked proud.

Zhao Xiaoman's cheeks were flushed and he looked at Ning Wanzhou shyly.

The young father-in-law was beautiful, and she had liked him since she was very young.

When he returned to Chang'an from the ten counties in the southwest, she didn't know how happy she was. She immediately dressed up and came to visit him, but she didn't expect that he actually brought back a concubine.

She is jealous, she hates.

She wished she could scratch that concubine's face!

She was obviously the one who met the young father-in-law first, and she was obviously his childhood sweetheart. Why did he fall in love with another girl in the end?

She is still a poor woman who cannot stand up to the public eye!

Now that it's fine, the queen has granted the marriage, and the young prince will definitely not dare to resist the decree.

She secretly glanced at the unconscious Zhao Wu, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Brother, this beating was well timed!

Take your seat.

The great eunuch held the imperial edict in his hands and repeated: "Your Highness, would you please accept the edict?"

The eldest princess slowly finished the cup of hot tea.

She put down the tea cup calmly and picked up the Minghuang Imperial Edict.

After looking at the imperial edict, she suddenly sneered.

"This imperial edict will not be accepted by the Duke's office!" She threw the edict to the ground arrogantly and lazily, raising her chin arrogantly, "If Shen Jiang is not convinced, ask her to come in person to confer the marriage. So she came in person. , my Duke Zhenguo also said the same thing. Whoever wants to marry Zhao Xiaoman can marry him, but my son won’t marry him anyway!”

You can hear a needle drop in the hall.

Everyone stared at the eldest princess in horror, not expecting her to be so domineering.

She is rebellious, but she is the Queen!

The great eunuch's face was as white as snow, and he could hardly find his voice: "Dian Dian Dian, Your Highness..."

"roll!"

The great eunuch swallowed.

In panic, he picked up the imperial edict and ran away.

The Zhao family stayed in place in embarrassment.

Zhao Xiaoman stamped his feet and said coquettishly: "Mom, I don't care, I want to marry the young father-in-law! I don't care, I don't care!"

Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her daughter and asked Ning Wanzhou: "Are you willing to marry my daughter?! If you don't marry me, my Zhao family will never end up with your Zhenguo Palace!"

"Don't marry."

Ning Wanzhou was indifferent.

"you--"

Mrs. Zhao was furious.

When she caught a glimpse of Nan Baozhu, she became even more angry and suddenly gave her a vicious slap in the face!

Ning Wanzhou and Nan Baozhu were both caught off guard.

Mrs. Zhao sternly yelled: "Bitch! You beautiful and beautiful fox, you seduced my Wu'er and instigated the young master to beat him. I will make you die to apologize today! I will go to the Queen and say, please She brings justice to my Zhao family!"

Ning Wanzhou hugged Nan Baozhu and stared at the red marks on her cheeks. The blood all over her body rushed to her head.

The fox's eyes are dark and cold,

He was about to attack Mrs. Zhao, but someone rushed ahead of him and slapped Mrs. Zhao neatly!

There was an eerie silence in the hall.

The guests were stunned.

Nan Baoyi shook his red palm and sneered: "Some people are too thick-skinned. If I slap them, my hands will hurt..."

Mrs. Zhao covered her red and swollen cheeks in disbelief and pointed at the tip of Nan Baoyi's nose: "You, you dare to hit me?!"

"You were the one who was beaten."

Nan Baoyi smiled.

Before Mrs. Zhao had time to lose her temper, the sound of military boots sounded from outside. It was Shi Yan who had brought in the elite of Sili Yamen.

"The Yamen is handling the case, and the rest are waiting to give in!"

Led by Zhou Lingshu and Tang Xiao, they all had swords on their waists and their leather belts glowed with a cold metallic color. They surrounded the Zhao family with dark faces.

All the guests looked at Nan Baoyi in horror, not understanding what she wanted to do.

other side……

But the Zhao family!

Nan Baoyi sat leisurely on the ebony carved table.

She crossed her legs, picked a piece of melon from the fruit plate and put it into her mouth.

The melon was crispy and sweet. She chewed it carefully, tilted her head and smiled, her red eyes curled into crescents.

The black silk hairband tied to her ponytail was blown by the cold wind onto her cheeks, making her little face white and harmless, like the most innocent and innocent girl in the boudoir.

Mrs. Zhao was panicked and angry: "You, what are you doing?! Are you going to rebel?!"

After Nan Baoyi finished eating the melon, he licked his fingertips with unfinished content.

She raised her eyes and said, "Zhao Wu is suspected of being frivolous against a good family woman, and I have decided to arrest him for rape. After the verdict, if Taiwei Zhao and Mrs. Zhao have any doubts, they can complain to the Queen."

She snapped her fingers: "Do it."

Poor Zhao Wu was still seriously injured and lying on a stretcher. The officer grabbed the stretcher and rushed out of the hall to the Yamen.

Mrs. Zhao was simply stunned.

She swallowed and smacked her husband quickly: "Master, look at her!"

Lieutenant Zhao blew his beard and stared: "Master Nan, you have such great official authority!"

Nan Baoyi said warmly: "I don't dare. My power is all given by the empress."

Lieutenant Zhao pointed at Ning Wanzhou and Nan Baozhu: "If we want to handle the case, we should arrest them! Ning Wanzhou committed malicious crimes, and my son suffered a lot!"

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "How can something like self-defense be considered a malicious act? Is the Lieutenant confused?"

justifiable defense……

Can Wu'er be beaten like that in self-defense? !

The Zhao family was so angry that they almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Knowing that he was alone and weak, Lieutenant Zhao had no choice but to wave his sleeves: "Just wait for me! I will enter the palace immediately and ask the empress to make the decision!"

He took his crying wife and daughter with him and left the Duke's Mansion angrily.

The hall was still silent.

Everyone looked at Nan Baoyi with complicated expressions.

When we first met, I thought Mrs. Nan was a gentle and sweet girl.

I didn't expect that there would be such a sassy and sinister side...

That's the Zhao family!

The little lady from the Nan family is truly a femme fatale!

Nan Baoyi was eating melon, noticed their gazes, and said vaguely: "What are you looking at me for? Today is the birthday of Her Royal Highness, everyone, eat well and drink well!"

Everyone came back to their senses, and for a moment they didn't dare to look at her, and they hesitated and dispersed.

Ning Wanzhou held Nan Baozhu's waist, lowered her head and blew on her cheek with red fingerprints: "I will take my sister back to the house to treat the wound."

Nan Baozhu stared at her sister hesitantly: "Jiaojiao, she..."

"She's grown up."

Ning Wanzhou was perfunctory and took Nan Baozhu away.

Soon, only Nan Baoyi and the eldest princess were left in the hall.

The aura that Nan Baoyi had just exerted gradually disappeared.

She lowered her long eyelashes, and the hand holding the melon could not help but tremble slightly.

Of course she knew how terrifying the Zhao family's power was.

only……

She really couldn't tolerate the Zhao family bullying her little cousin.

The eldest princess greeted her and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to be a powerful minister?"

Nan Baoyi let out a breath and said shyly, "Your Highness, please stop making fun of me."

"Keep climbing up." The eldest princess said warmly, "Go to a higher place in the court, even as a lackey of Shen Jiang. Qingshi will record your achievements."

…

backyard.

Nan Baozhu sat on the couch.

Black hair spreads over her cheeks, making her face pale and haggard.

Ning Wanzhou carefully applied the medicine to her: "Does it hurt a lot?"

There was distress hidden in the young man's fox eyes, and the red tail of his eyes was like a peach blossom.

Nan Baozhu thought about the scene where he beat Zhao Wu and whispered: "Thank you."

Thank him for offending the family for her.

Thank him for not treating her like a plaything.

Thank you for your loving care over the years.

Ning Wanzhou sneered: "Sister's thank you gift is so insincere——"

Before he finished speaking, Nan Baozhu suddenly raised his head and kissed his warm thin lips.
