Chapter 237: The Crown Prince Will Never Let You Go
"Uncle, my father is Liu Shuwen, the military advisor of the Ming Dynasty. I have never enjoyed any kind of glory and wealth. You..."
"Miaomiao, how old is your father this year? To put it bluntly, how many years does he have to live?"
"Now if you don't take advantage of the opportunity and find a good family to marry, once something happens to your father, will you still want to marry a good family?"
"The Governor of Yizhou has a second prince behind him. If you marry his son, you will marry the second prince. What else do you have to worry about?" Wei Quan interrupted Liu Miaomiao's words and said "seriously".
Liu Miaomiao is not a fool, she still doesn't understand.
His uncle just wanted to use himself to build a good relationship with the governor of Yizhou. When the governor of Yizhou was promoted, the position of governor would naturally fall on him, the prefect.
In each state of the Ming Empire, governors were regarded as the most respected, and officials of the fourth rank were regarded as senior officials.
Wei Quan did this to give himself a layer of insurance.
Once things with the second prince are not settled and he fails to get the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, at least the position of governor of Yizhou will be his in the future.
And he, Wei Quan, didn't pay anything.
Liu Miaomiao is just his sister's daughter. Even if it is his own daughter, he is willing to do so.
As for Liu Shuwen, an old guy who doesn’t necessarily come back every few years, when he finds out, will he take his daughter back just for a breath?
If Liu Shuwen doesn't want his old face, he doesn't want his daughter's face either?
Wei Quan's plan was to let Liu Miaomiao cook the rice here.
"What if I don't agree?" Liu Miaomiao's words were filled with deep resentment.
"If you don't agree, I will starve you until you agree." When Wei Quan failed to persuade him with his good words, he changed his expression.
"Come here, keep an eye on her for me. From today on, she is not allowed to eat anything, even water. She is not allowed to drink. I want to see how many days she can last!" Wei Quan was brought in to guard her.
The man gave the order to die again.
Wei Quan left, and Liu Miaomiao collapsed on the ground.
She came here to visit her uncle with good intentions, but she didn't want to be treated like this by her own uncle.
Liu Miaomiao even wanted to die, but she thought of her father Liu Shuwen, who was thousands of miles away.
If he died, how would he feel sad?
My mother died young, and I was my father's only thought. If I died like this, my father...
As Liu Miaomiao thought about it, her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
…
"Mr. Zhang, why are you here in person?" Wei Quan walked out of the small courtyard and saw Zhang Hu, the son of the governor of Yizhou, sitting in the living room drinking tea, and hurriedly walked over with a smile.
"Master Wei, my father said that Master Wei wanted to introduce his niece to me, so he wanted to come over and have a look." Zhang Hu said with a smile.
He is not tall and strong as Wei Quan said. Instead, he looks like a bamboo pole with skinny clothes, a stooped back, and a wretched look when he smiles.
The left leg is obviously shorter than the right leg.
But he was the son of the governor of Yizhou, and Wei Quan did not dare to despise him.
"I am dissatisfied with Young Master Zhang. My niece is beautiful and smart, and has a very good figure. However, she has a bad temper. She is not happy when she knows that I have betrothed her to someone else."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to see each other today." Wei Quan accompanied him with a smile.
If it weren't for the appreciation of Zhang Hu's father, the Governor of Yizhou, he would never have betrothed his niece to a guy like Zhang Hu.
"What's wrong with meeting her? If she doesn't obey, I'll beat her until she obeys." Zhang Hu's eyes turned cold, he raised his right hand and said: "There are not twenty girls who have been beaten to death by my hand.
There are also nineteen, and many of them refused to obey at first. After being beaten by me, even if I asked her to lie on the ground and learn how to bark, it would be too fast."
"Why, Mr. Wei can't bear to part with his niece?"
"Don't dare, don't dare. If Mr. Zhang wants to go and see it, then I will take Mr. Zhang to see it." Wei Quan was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to offend Zhang Hu.
Zhang Hu's father, Governor Zhang, was the second prince's son just like himself.
But Governor Zhang had a higher official position than him, so he naturally received more attention from the second prince.
This is also the reason why he, Wei Quan, wanted to please Governor Zhang after getting the promise from the second prince.
Just in case.
How dare you offend Zhang Hu now? Zhang Hu could do such evil in Yizhou not because of the favoritism of his father, Governor Zhang.
Liu Miaomiao was still crying when the door of her room was opened. When she saw it, she saw her uncle who had no regard for family affection.
The other one stared at him greedily, and the eyes on his wretched face almost fell on him.
"What a beautiful girl!" Zhang Hu's face was filled with salivation.
Liu Miaomiao's figure really made Zhang Hu unable to restrain himself. Her face was full of pear blossoms, which made me feel pity for her. Zhang Hu even licked his lips.
"Miss Miaomiao, this is Zhang Hu, your husband!" Zhang Hu limped into the room, staring closely at Liu Miaomiao's face.
"I don't know you, please get out." Liu Miaomiao took two steps back and looked at Zhang Hu warily.
He looked at his uncle Wei Quan pleadingly, hoping that he could take Zhang Hu away.
Wei Quan didn't even move, and he also knew that he couldn't let Zhang Hu leave.
"If you don't know each other, you will get to know each other later. Why don't you, Miss Miao Miao, go back home with your husband? Your husband's bed is big and soft..."
"Get out." Liu Miaomiao couldn't bear it anymore. She pointed her finger outside, signaling Zhang Hu to get out.
Zhang Hu's expression suddenly darkened.
He is used to running rampant in Yizhou City, and no one has ever dared to talk to him like this. Even Wei Quan, the prefect of Yizhou, must be respectful in front of him.
Liu Miaomiao is a little girl, but she dares to scream for her to get out.
"Master Wei, please go out first. I have something to say to Miss Miaomiao." Zhang Hu looked at Wei Quan standing aside with a firm attitude.
"Uncle!" Liu Miaomiao shouted to Wei Quan.
Wei Quan didn't even hesitate and walked out of the small courtyard quickly.
Only Zhang Hu and Liu Miaomiao were left in the room.
"Don't come over!" Liu Miaomiao kept retreating, with a look of fear on her face.
She is a girl, so she doesn't know how to deal with the situation in front of her.
Zhang Hu's face was full of lust and evil.
He just liked seeing the girl in front of him in such a posture, which gave him a great feeling of conquest.
No matter how those girls begged him, Zhang Hu would take off their clothes without hesitation.
"Liu Miaomiao, your uncle has betrothed you to me. You'd better be smart and don't make a mistake." Zhang Hu slowly approached Liu Miaomiao and tried to make Liu Miaomiao give up her resistance.
Liu Miaomiao was trembling all over. She couldn't imagine that she would be treated like this when she came here with good intentions.
If she had known this earlier, she would have listened to Yao Tangtang and never came here.
But is there any regret medicine in the world?
I am now blocked in the room by this tiger, and I can't escape even if I want to.
Liu Miaomiao's face was full of despair, and she kept retreating, while her hands kept groping behind her.
Liu Miaomiao's hand suddenly touched a slender hard object on the stool. When she held it in her hand, she realized that it was a hosta.
The hosta was given to her by Tang Xueer, who said that Chen Changfeng asked Master Xu's apprentice to help carve it, and thanked Liu Miaomiao for her previous help at the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The hosta was held tightly in Liu Miaomiao's hand. Liu Miaomiao stared at Zhang Hu tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Don't come over. I am friends with the Crown Princess. I have an irreconcilable relationship with the Crown Prince. If you hurt me, the Crown Prince will not hurt you."
