Chapter 1524: Chapter 1527: Questioning Life
Chancellor Zhang went to Prince Qin’s mansion today, and returned in a huff.
“Father, how did it go?” Zhang Shiyu hurriedly asked.
In fact, just looking at Chancellor Zhang’s angry face, it was clear what the outco was.
Chancellor Zhang looked at his daughter, not knowing how to put it into words.
After thinking it over, he finally relayed Prince Qin’s last words.
“Shiyu, you see, the Imperial Concubine Sheng has only recently passed away, and Prince Qin is in mourning. He won’t take a concubine for three years. The emperor adored Concubine Sheng; if Prince Qin were to take a concubine so soon, it would only invite the emperor’s resentnt. How could he then compete with Ning Wang, right?”
Zhang Shiyu’s eyes gradually darkened as she said, “So Father, are you saying that Prince Qin doesn’t want either?”
Chancellor Zhang hurriedly explained, “No, how could it be said that way? Prince Qin is willing, but he wants you to wait three years. You’ve waited so long already, how can you wait another three years? My suggestion is, don’t wait for Prince Qin, let’s find another family.”
Zhang Shiyu lowered her head, saying, “Does that an I really can’t get married? Father, I know. The people in Beijing are afraid of our family, and no one is willing to marry . I… I might as well die!”
Seeing that his daughter was once again thinking of suicide, Chancellor Zhang felt his head was about to explode.
Such an outstanding daughter is contemplating death because she can’t marry, what about those other daughters from concubines, and the sons?
He stopped Zhang Shiyu and loudly shouted for help, “Soone co, quickly take the young lady away!”
“Father, let go, I don’t want to live…”
Soon, several old won ca in from outside, and Chancellor Zhang quickly ordered, “Take the young lady away, watch her carefully. If she dies, you won’t live either.”
The old won, frightened, hurriedly grabbed the suicidal Zhang Shiyu and took her back to her room to watch over her.
But people always have to blink; how could anyone watch a person for twelve hours straight?
Zhang Shiyu cried until her eyes were swollen, becoming angrier and more unwilling with each thought.
From childhood to now, except for losing to her sister in talent, she has never lost to anyone.
Why should she be punished because of her malicious sister’s wrongdoings? Why can a lowly rchant girl like Gu Youyou marry into the Imperial Family as a princess, while she becos a notorious leftover woman in Beijing, a topic of scorn at every al? A daughter of the Zhang Family is a venomous woman, a daughter of the Zhang Family can’t marry.
After crying her fill, she resolved to pull herself together as night descended.
Zhang Shiyu sent two old won away to prepare dinner for her, and two more to prepare after-dinner fruits and bathwater, leaving only one old woman.
She took the opportunity while the woman was unaware and knocked her unconscious with a candlestick.
Zhang Shiyu covered her mouth, watching the blood flow from the back of the woman’s head, then with trembling hands opened a drawer and took out a white porcelain bottle.
She gazed at the bottle with a complicated look, but seeing that ti was short and the people she had sent away were about to return, she ignored everything else, hid the bottle, and quickly exited the room.
Night had fallen, and the northern weather was sowhat cold.
Zhang Shiyu pulled her clothes closer, avoiding everyone, and slipped out of the mansion through an inconspicuous side entrance.
Looking at the sky, a fierce and desperate determination flashed in her eyes as she resolutely walked towards Ningwang Residence.
At this hour, lights were all lit, even at Ningwang Residence.
