No Tears Until She Sees the Coffin
Zhou Fuyu was overjoyed; wasn't this like a windfall?
Unfortunately, the eldest princess said calmly, "These things are my private property. How I decide to distribute them should be none of the Empress Dowager's business, right?"
Princess Jing'an looked at the Eldest Princess and said:
"Isn't it just a few run-down shops and a few acres of land?"
It's like nobody cares.
Princess Ningyuan, standing nearby, remarked, "Isn't that right? Eldest sister is too stingy."
Zhou Wanwan suddenly spoke up from the side:
"Princess Ningyuan is quite magnanimous. Her Prince Consort Ningyuan has two mistresses outside the palace, both of whom are quite beautiful. Why don't you bring them back to the palace?"
Oh, and there's that Princess Jing'an, your husband is even more outrageous, he likes men and has three male concubines.
"You're so generous, why don't you bring them all back to your residence?"
Princess Ningyuan and Princess Jing'an both looked displeased.
The two princes beside him turned pale with fright and quickly knelt down.
Prince Consort Ningyuan said, "Absolutely not. I have never kept a mistress. You're talking nonsense, child."
The Prince Consort Jing'an repeatedly, saying, "This child is talking nonsense! Your Majesty, you must do me justice!"
The Empress Dowager roared, "Zhou Wanwan, if you don't tell me, believe me, I'll pull out your teeth!"
Zhou Wanwan said:
Whether what I said is true or false, why don't you just send someone to check?
What? You don't even want to watch?
The Empress Dowager said, "Fine, if you're so capable, write down the address."
Zhou Wanwan simply picked up a pen and wrote down several addresses on a piece of paper.
Upon seeing this, Prince Consort Ningyuan's face darkened. He stood up and said, "We can't go! This is... this is my cousin."
The Prince Consort Jing'an said, "These are all my brothers; we're not in that kind of relationship at all."
Zhou Wanwan said calmly, "Whether you watch it or not is your business; we can't control that."
Princess Ningyuan, who had just been extremely arrogant, suddenly turned pale. "Bring them all here. I want to see what their relationship is."
Princess Ningyuan and Princess Jing'an were notoriously jealous women, and before long, all of them were kneeling in Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.
The younger cousin looked at Prince Consort Ningyuan, sobbing, and said, "Song Lang, what's going on? They kidnapped me for no reason, where am I?"
Song Lang? Oh my, how affectionate!
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Looks like it's not just the Eldest Princess, everyone's wearing a green hat, hahaha, then we're even."
Prince Consort Prince Consort Ningyuan pulled Princess Ningyuan along, saying, "Ningyuan, I was just confused for a moment. I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
The Prince Consort Jing'an, standing beside her, trembled as he looked at Princess Jing'an. Princess Jing'an took out a riding whip and lashed it hard across his body, saying, "You beast, you disgust me!"
The Prince Consort Jing'an was whipped dozens of times, his skin torn and flesh ripped open, and he screamed in agony.
Zhou Wanwan sat on the chair next to her, peeling pine nuts and drinking tea.
The Empress Dowager looked at her and said:
"You've destroyed someone else's family like this, are you satisfied now?"
Your grandmother was absolutely right, you are a vicious woman.
Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, you must be reasonable! How am I a poisonous woman?"
First of all, I'm still a child. Secondly, don't you think I've done something incredibly virtuous?
I helped them find out the true nature of the prince consort beforehand, and I didn't charge them anything.
Princess Ningyuan and Princess Jing'an rolled their eyes in anger.
Princess Ningyuan said, "What else do you know? Tell me all at once!"
Zhou Wanwan looked at him with a gossipy expression. "Can I really say that? If I do, won't that prince consort eat me alive?"
The two princes-in-law stared at Zhou Wanwan, their faces ashen.
Zhou Wanwan looked at the two prince consorts and said, "If you two don't want me to tell you, I can choose not to, but you'll need to pay hush money."
Princess Ningyuan said angrily, "We'll pay, how much do you want?"
Old Madam Zhou was standing nearby, said, "Don't believe this girl; she's just faking it!"
Zhou Wanwan looked at her and said, "Since I'm just pretending to be a ghost, why don't you do it? I'll watch your performance."
Old Madam Zhou coughed and said, "I have no respect for such crooked and evil practices!"
Princess Ningyuan waved her hand, and several maids came forward carrying gold and silver jewelry.
Princess Jing'an waved her hand, and gold bars appeared everywhere.
They looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Can you tell us now?"
Zhou Wanwan nodded and said:
"Of course, of course! Someone, take all these things. The two princesses are quite generous!"
Next, let's talk about the two princes-in-law. The Prince Consort Ningyuan has two children, a son and a daughter. The older one is 11 years old, and the younger one seems to be 6 years old.
He also had a mistress named Lady Liu, who bore him a son.
As for this Prince Consort Jing'an, tsk tsk tsk... this prince consort has a lot of problems!
The Prince Consort Jing'an trembled and said, "Zhou Wanwan, don't talk nonsense. I... I'm willing to pay."
Princess Jing'an looked at him and asked, "What other questions do you have?"
Zhou Wanwan chuckled and said, "Oh! Just kidding. There are no other problems, of course. Besides, the Prince Consort Jing'an hasn't actually touched any of his three male favorites, has he?"
The Prince Consort Jing'an nodded and said:
"I did buy them, but at the time I just felt sorry for them."
Jing'an, I'm completely devoted to you, you must believe me.
The Prince Consort Jing'an is rich!
How rich they are! Their family is the richest in Beijing, rolling in money.
Of course, compared to Princess Jing'an, she's no match.
The Prince Consort Jing'an winked at Zhou Wanwan, indicating that he understood.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Zhou Fuyu was the most aggrieved; the house he had finally acquired vanished, and so did his mother, whom he had finally secured.
That's terrible.
He did want to cultivate a relationship with the princess, but whenever she saw him, she showed him a look of disgust, so he couldn't be bothered to humiliate himself any further.
The princess's husband looked at the princess and said:
"Zhaozhao, what are you really thinking?"
I did have amnesia at the time, but as soon as I remembered, I came back to find you. What more do you want?
Moreover, Qingqing is willing to be a concubine.
Qingqing nodded and said:
"Princess, I am truly willing to be a concubine. Look, I am also a princess, and I am willing to be a concubine."
Sister, please say yes! I promise I'll take good care of you from now on.
Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said:
"Princess? Don't you even know your own place? Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"You're just a foot-washing maidservant by the princess's side, yet you dare to call yourself a princess? Do princesses from the Western Regions look like this? How interesting."
Qingqing shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? What foot-washing maid? I am the princess!"
Zhou Wanwan said, "I remember the second prince of Khotan in the Western Regions is in the capital. How about we call him over now?"
Qingqing shrank back slightly and said, "I am the princess..."
This is a case of not shedding tears until the coffin is in sight.
