The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 800 Her Conditions

"My lord, I don't want anything. I just want to protect the Zhong family and live a peaceful life." Zhong Yixiu said.

"You don't look like you don't want anything." The eldest princess looked at Zhong Yixue sarcastically, "If you really just want to live a peaceful life, why did you come to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble?"

"Your Highness, I am not the one causing trouble. If the prince hadn't gone to the Zhong family to make things difficult first, I wouldn't have come to this point." Zhong Yixue looked up at the princess. "Our Zhong family has reached this point, so how can we have the qualifications to cause trouble? All I ask is that the Marquis of Mingchang Mansion will show some mercy and promise that they will never make things difficult for me or the Zhong family again in the future."

Yuwen Huan has already come to the door. If this matter is not resolved, it will give people the impression that their Zhong family is cowardly and can be bullied.

At that time, no matter if there are old grudges or those who want to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits, they will definitely not let the Zhong family go easily.

Therefore, this matter cannot be resolved by patience. She must get out of Mingchang Marquis Mansion safely and let those people see her ability. Only in this way can she dispel the thoughts of those who are waiting and watching.

"Zhong Yixue, it was you who offended me first, and now you are framing me again. Do you really think that we can let you control our Mingchang Marquisate?"

Yuwen Huan looked at the dagger across Zhong Yixiu's neck without any concern.

"Since you want to commit suicide, then do it. Even if you die, to our Mingchang Marquis Mansion, it's just like the death of a cat or a dog."

"From what the prince said, there is no room for further discussion on this matter."

"Of course not. We at Mingchang Marquis' Mansion will not be threatened by anyone." Yuwen Huan said to the Marquis of Mingchang without hesitation, "Father and mother, don't be intimidated by her. She wants to seize our mansion with just a bloody scratch on her neck. If this gets out, who knows how many people will come here to seek death."

Zhong Yixiu's gaze shifted to Marquis Mingchang and the eldest princess.

Neither of them spoke.

Apparently, they had heard some of Yuwen Huan's words and were now observing Zhong Yixiu intently.

There was no sign of retreat or panic on Zhong Yixiu's face; she just laughed sadly.

"Well, if that's the case, then I'd rather die than live with injustice and bullying."

He simply and decisively grasped the dagger again, raised it and stabbed it towards his own neck without any hesitation.

"Stop!" Marquis Mingchang shouted.

The dagger hovered at the neck.

All of Zhong Yixiu's actions just now were very smooth and precise.

It seemed that if Marquis Mingchang had been a little slower, Zhong Yixiu would have become a corpse at this moment.

This posture really doesn't look like a show.

To take a step back, even if it was really a show, it was the kind of thing where they gave it their all.

Marquis Mingchang and the eldest princess both looked unhappy.

Even Yuwen Huan, who had just insisted that Zhong Yixiu was just pretending, couldn't help but begin to waver.

"You are simply a lunatic!" He looked at Zhong Yixiu hatefully.

"Your Highness, you are too kind. I am just a person who has almost nothing. However, precisely because I have nothing, I am not afraid of losing even my life." Zhong Yixiu smiled again.

This time, the smile seemed particularly glaring to Yuwen Huan and the others.

Because Zhong Yixiu won the bet.

"I promise you that the Marquis of Mingchang will never make things difficult for you again. And Huan'er will never cause trouble for you again." Marquis of Mingchang said in a gloomy tone.

She was just an orphan from the Zhong family. Although Zhong Xingyun was still alive, he was dismissed from office and had a stroke, which made him no different from being dead. The Mingchang Marquisate did not bother to make things difficult for the Zhong family.

But what’s annoying is that Zhong Yixiu was forced to make this promise.

"I am very grateful that you can say that, Lord Marquis, but after all, words are not enough..."

"Do you want me to give you a written agreement?"

"There is no need for a written agreement, but I hope that the Marquis can personally escort me out of the mansion later and repeat these words in front of the onlookers at the gate."

"you……"

"besides……"

"Anything else?" Marquis Mingchang's expression became even uglier. "What else?"

"Also, when I came here today, the people all know that I was injured by the prince, so I hope that the Marquis can tell the people about the punishment for the prince later."

"Zhong Yixiu, you have really gone too far. It was you who framed me in this matter, and you even want me to be punished!" Yuwen Huan was furious. There was no trace of smile on his usually romantic face. He just wanted to teach Zhong Yixiu a lesson right away.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. This is not a real punishment. It is just an announcement to the public. Besides, this is also for the good of the Marquis and the Prince."

"What a joke! Why is it just for the sake of this prince?"

Zhong Yixiu spoke slowly.

"First of all, it was indeed the prince who came to cause trouble today. You hurt me. No matter how you insist, the people will definitely believe me more. If the prince does not pay any price, it will definitely cause more discussion.

"Secondly, if the Marquis does not punish the prince, he will inevitably be known as someone who indulges his son in violence. Although he may announce the punishment to the outside world, the prince will not have to pay any price internally. It's just a few words, which can not only eliminate the dissatisfaction of many people towards the prince, but also make the Marquis and the Marquis's mansion have a reputation for strict family management. Why not do it?"

The princess sneered when she heard this, "I'm afraid there is a third one. With our Mingchang Marquisate as a model, those who want to target the Zhong family will have to think twice after the news spreads. After all, our Mingchang Marquisate has suffered losses at your hands."

"The princess is right. This is exactly what I want. But this does not conflict with the two points I mentioned above. Just a few words can earn me a good reputation for raising children. This is a good deal."

Marquis Mingchang frowned and thought.

He knew that what Zhong Yixiu said made sense.

Especially after the last birthday banquet, the Marquis's Mansion received a lot of discussion, and even the Emperor had complaints about his management of the household.

This might really be an opportunity for people to see how strict he is in managing his household.

"Okay, I can promise you."

"Father!" Yuwen Huan was dissatisfied.

"Shut up." Marquis Mingchang looked at Yuwen Huan in a warning tone, "From now on, you stay at home and are not allowed to go out for the next few days. Tell the public that you have been punished by the family law and are recuperating at home."

Yuwen Huan was even more dissatisfied. Seeing that his father did not want to be discussed, he turned to look at the eldest princess, "Mother, father..."

"Okay, just do as your father said!" The eldest princess interrupted Yuwen Huan and did not allow him to speak again. She just looked at Zhong Yixiu with deep and gloomy eyes.
