Chapter 331 Does Wu Zhi dare to grab a woman from King Ding?
The status of a wife and a concubine are completely different.
Wives were generally registered, but concubines were like goods and could be bought and sold at will, beaten or punished at will.
Even if the concubine is really killed by accident, the government can fool her by just giving her a little money.
But who would have thought that King Ding would suddenly send someone here at this time!
The tall and thin man in front of me is the steward of Prince Ding's residence, named Liu Zheng.
Although Liu Mingzheng did not have an official position, he relied on the support of Prince Ding. Even the court officials were polite when they saw him.
Although Wu Qingnian is a wealthy businessman in Tokyo City, what status does a businessman have?
Liu Mingzheng looked at the slightly flustered Wu Qingnian with a sneer on his lips. He had seen many people like Wu Qingnian and knew very well how to deal with them.
Liu Mingzheng raised his head proudly and said to Wu Qingnian: "The matchmaker said that your daughter has already been married once. To be able to enter our palace is a blessing earned in eight lifetimes. If it were anyone else, who wouldn't be overjoyed, why would she be here with you? No.
It’s the same. Could it be that you don’t like our prince?”
"Don't dare!"
Wu Qingnian shivered so hard that he didn't even dare to sit on the chair and quickly stood up.
He bowed down in front of Liu Mingzheng, his body shivering, and the big beads of sweat slid down his cheeks one after another and hit the ground.
"Huh, let me tell you the truth, our prince will soon become the prince. If your daughter is smarter and can serve the prince more comfortably, your entire family will be prosperous. In the future, your son will become a minor official in the court.
It’s not impossible.”
Regarding what Liu Mingzheng said, Wu Qingnian didn't dare to think about it at all.
Wu Qingnian was able to make his business so big entirely because of his own vision.
He knew very well that for a family like theirs, it would be useless to send their daughter to the palace, let alone send her daughter to the palace.
Without a strong matrilineal family background, if a daughter goes in, it will be like throwing a stone into a pond, and she will be submerged in an instant. Even if she dies in the deep palace compound, no one will know!
Wu Qingnian wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to speak.
Liu Mingzheng immediately pointed at the boxes filled with boxes in the hall.
"This is the wish of our King Ding. Just accept it. King Ding wants your daughter to serve you tonight. Please hurry in and ask your daughter to dress up and get on the sedan chair to go to the palace!"
Wu Qingnian was shocked!
I didn't expect that Liu Mingzheng would be so strong as if he was urging the soul!
Wu Qingnian was really panicking now.
He clutched his sleeves tightly with both hands and wanted to refuse countless times, but he swallowed his words.
He knew very well that if he offended King Ding, his entire family would be destroyed!
"Wu Qingnian, what are you still doing? Go to the backyard quickly and let your daughter dress up!"
As a businessman, Wu Qingnian is only interested in profit. As long as he can make money, he will do whatever it takes.
However, now he is not just a businessman who only cares about money, he is also a father!
Wu Qingnian took a deep breath and raised his head suddenly.
He seemed to have mustered up all his courage, bit the bullet, and said to Liu Mingzheng: "Manager Liu, my daughter has been hired by someone else."
When he heard these words, Liu Mingzheng paused slightly, and the confident smile on his face solidified.
He suddenly grabbed the tea cup in his hand.
"Ping!"
The teacup fell heavily to the ground and broke into pieces!
Liu Mingzheng pointed at Wu Qingnian: "You are so brave! You dare to disobey King Ding's orders!"
"The person you are talking about is Wu Zhi, right? Do you think that Wu Zhi, a small fourth-rank official, dares to steal a woman from the future prince who is the king?"
