717. Chapter 717

In recent years, the life of the Prince's Palace has not been as prosperous as it seems on the surface. Even before, the expenses in the Palace were very tight, but at that time, there was still the dowry of the former Princess to use. Since Zhaoyang got married, he took away a large part of it. With the dowry, the life of the county prince's palace is getting worse day by day.

The step princess couldn't understand why the former princess was willing to give all her dowry to Zhaoyang, leaving not much for her son. Otherwise, their county and prince's palace would not be living like this now. The most hateful thing is that when Zhaoyang got married, She actually sold most of the real estate and property into money and took it away. The few valuable and unmarketable houses left behind were guarded by the dowry servants given to her by the late princess. Even if she wanted to get her hands on them, she couldn't do anything.

Two days ago, she heard that Zhaoyang was back. She asked someone to inquire and found out that this girl had become a widow. This was her plan. She wanted to bring Zhaoyang back to the prince's palace, and also let Zhaoyang give her the dowry that she had taken away before. If they are all handed over, the county prince's palace will not suffer at all.

However, this girl looks even more cold and heartless than before, and I don't know if she can be controlled.

"Where did you come from, that stinky girl? Is it your turn, as an outsider, to interfere in the affairs of our county prince's palace?" When the step princess saw Prince Chu Yang staring at Ye Zhen, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, thinking that Chu Yang The prince is interested in Ye Zhen.

"I am an outsider, so you think you are not outsiders?" Ye Zhen glanced at the step princess lightly. Before she became the step princess, she had heard that she was very gentle and elegant, but she didn't know that she had hidden secrets. With an insidious mind, she tried her best to become the step princess, and then her true colors were revealed. Zhaoyang was sent to Beiming Kingdom for marriage, and the contribution of the step princess was indispensable.

"Zhaoyang is the princess of the county prince's palace, how can we be outsiders?" The step princess did not want to completely break up with Zhaoyang, so she looked at Zhaoyang with soft eyes, "Zhaoyang, we are all for your own good, you are alone Living outside is inconvenient and can easily cause trouble. With me and your eldest brother at home, others will definitely not dare to bully you."

"Aren't you the ones who bully me all the time? What did you say when you coaxed me to go to Beiming Kingdom to get married? If I don't agree, you will sever ties with me and prevent me from entering the prince's palace for the rest of my life. I agreed, but it has nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion. You don't have to expect me to go back and support the Prince's Mansion. If you think I haven't said it clearly enough, I will go to the palace tomorrow to beg the Emperor and let the Emperor disown me completely. The relationship with the county prince’s palace." Zhaoyang said coldly.

Chu Yang frowned and said, "Zhaoyang, you and I are brothers and sisters, why would we do this!"

Zhaoyang said impatiently, "Don't replace your siblings with me. I don't have an elder brother like you who would betray my sister."

"You..." Chu Yang was furious when he heard this, but he didn't dare to do anything to Zhao Yang.

Ye Zhen looked at Chu Yang with a smile and said, "Prince Chu Yang is really filial. He cares more about his stepmother than his own sister."

I don’t know what Ye Zhen meant by poking at the Intermediate Princess with these words. She was so angry that her cheeks turned red and she glared at Ye Zhen fiercely, "Bitch, what did you say?"

Chu Yang was so frightened that he almost knelt down and shouted at the step princess, "Shut up! Do you know who she is?"

The step princess was stunned when she was yelled at. She probably didn't expect that Chu Yang would dare to yell at her like this. She looked completely stupid. After a while, she turned pale and shouted, "Who is she so amazing? Have you seen her?" Are you soft-hearted because you look good?”

"Shut up!" Chu Yang was furious, "She is Lu Yaoyao, the future queen."

"What?" The step princess was stunned. She glanced at Ye Zhen in horror. This person was Lu Yaoyao, who was widely rumored in Kyoto?

Zhaoyang knew that Chu Yang had met Ye Zhen, and was afraid that he would see the clues. He said in an increasingly impatient tone, "Do you have anything else? If you have anything to say, just finish it. If not, just invite me. I won't send it off."

Chu Yang looked at his sister, "Zhaoyang!"

"What I said should be very clear. There is no need to say anything more." Zhaoyang said expressionlessly.

The step princess said with a cold face, "Since you don't know what's good and what's good, then let's go as you want."

"Zhaoyang, no matter when it is, eldest brother still hopes that you can return to the county prince's palace." Chu Yang looked at Zhaoyang and whispered.

A cold smile appeared on Zhaoyang's lips.

The step princess did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Ye Zhen. She just looked at Zhaoyang with disgust and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Ye Zhen looked at their backs, walked to Zhao Yang and whispered, "Did you see that?"

"What?" Zhaoyang asked in confusion. What did she see?

"Don't you think the relationship between the step princess and the county prince is very strange?" Although they are not biological mother and son, the relationship between the two is too strange. If they say they are step mother and son, those who don't know may think they are husband and wife.

Zhaoyang didn't notice it at first, but when Ye Zhen reminded her, she remembered what Chu Yang yelled at the step princess just now, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "The step princess often went to the palace before, and Chu Yang was quite nice to her, but... …It’s impossible, it’s too shocking!”

"I didn't say anything. Anyway, only they know what's going on." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not impossible. My eldest brother can even betray his own sister, so what can't he do?" Zhaoyang said sarcastically.

Ye Zhen frowned and asked, "If you marry again in the future, they won't stop you, right?"

"It has nothing to do with them anymore, so why should they stop me?" Zhaoyang said lightly, "Remarriage is my own business."

"That's very good, but with their virtues, they will definitely intervene in the future. You need to have countermeasures to deal with it." Ye Zhen said.

Zhaoyang laughed at himself, "If I didn't have any money on me, they would probably think they didn't know I was in Kyoto."

"I remember this step princess is still a relative on your mother's side?" Ye Zhen asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmph, my mother's cousin came here to seek refuge because her family was in ruins and she had nowhere to go. My mother's son is a white-eyed wolf." Zhaoyang said coldly.

Ye Zhen said, "I've heard that life in the Prince's Palace has not been very good over the past few years. Your eldest brother only received a casual job, and his salary is not high, let alone any money. The Prince's Palace is not small, but his life is not as good as it is. I came to see you today, probably not for you, but for your dowry."

Zhaoyang smiled nonchalantly, "I knew it was so."

"Do you want to find some guards? I'm afraid they will come again." Ye Zhen asked.

"No need, your father has left some people here with me. It won't be long before he knows about it." Zhaoyang said with some embarrassment.

Ye Zhen glanced at her with a smile, "Then I won't bother you. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."
