Chapter 342: Bestowed Marriage
Miss Xin took a sip of her tea and said, "What’s more, it only took him a month to reclaim the seven cities and twelve fortress passes in the northern region and force the Xiong Nu to surrender. As long as the enemies hear Yan Junwang’s name, they will lose the will to fight."
Miss Xin shook her head, and her eyes were full of pity when she said, "I think this Shisan Gongzhu really overestimates herself. She is just a subjugated princess, but she dares to set her sights on Yan Junwang. She must have felt that she had lived too long and was no longer afraid of death."
After hearing Miss Xin’s words, the other three young ladies nodded in agreement. After a few seconds of silence, Miss Wu asked, "Then what will happen to the alliance between our empire and the Xiong Nu?"
Miss Guan rolled her eyes and replied, "What alliance? The Xiong Nu have sent their princesses and princes here as hostages. It’s obvious that they have surrendered to us."
Miss Xin nodded and added, "Exactly. I heard that the person chosen as the husband of Shisan Gongzhu is the son of a seventh-rank minister of the Hanlin Academy. Moreover, the person who chose him was Yan Junwang."
As soon as these words came out, Miss Chen asked in doubt, "Isn’t that man famous for being frivolous and good for nothing? At thirty-five, he had no job or any decent achievement. I even saw him visiting the pleasure house on the way here."
The other three young ladies looked disgusted when they heard this.
After a while, Miss Xin recalled the conversation between herself and her mother and said, "A few days ago, I heard from my mother that this good-for-nothing man brought two more concubines from the pleasure house. Even before the first wife got married, the backyard was already filled with flowers. This man is really a scumbag."
Miss Chi sighed again, took a sip of tea, and couldn’t help but comment, "Yan Junwang is really vengeful. If anyone dares to offend him, the rest of that person’s life will be miserable."
