Chapter 347: Two Men Fighting for One Woman
"What's so exciting?"
A cold voice came from behind the crowd, followed by another familiar red and an unforgettable piece of music.
The second prince, wearing a dark red wedding gown, arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion on a black horse.
Zi Yan leaned over to look at the endless team behind him and the heavy wooden boxes, and couldn't help but whisper in Qin Miaoxi's ear.
"Miss, it seems the Second Prince is here to propose to you as well."
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
You little bitch, dare you speak any louder? Everyone here can hear it.
The Second Prince's pale face suddenly flushed. He coughed twice, then smiled with sparkling eyes as he said, "You are right. I am indeed here to propose marriage to Miss Qin."
Then he clapped his hands, and a guard took out a gift list and began to chant.
If the things given by Huang Bang are worth a fortune, then what the Second Prince gives is one in a million. This betrothal gift is more than enough to marry a princess of a country.
The common people at the scene were already shocked by the Second Prince's behavior. Only the butler's face turned pale, and he cursed in his heart, wishing he could curse at their hypocritical faces.
Finally, the long list of gifts was finished, and the Second Prince came to Qin Miaoxi and said solemnly: "Miss Qin, I really want to marry you as my principal wife."
Qin Miaoxi passed a meaningful look over him, not even refusing to look at him any more.
"Second Prince, why don't you take a look at the person on the ground first!"
The Second Prince seemed to have just discovered Huang Bang lying on the ground, his life or death unknown, and exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't this Master Huang? What happened to him? Was he ambushed by the enemy? How did he get so badly injured?"
Everyone present had an indescribable look on their face. They knew the reason very well, but no one dared to say it!
"It's not an enemy attack, it's the result of coming to offer me a betrothal gift."
Qin Miaoxi showed her eight shining teeth, "So, Second Prince, do you want to try it too? I'm happy to accompany you."
The long whip in her hand crackled as she swung it, and her gentle and peaceful smile was passed down as the "Smile of Rakshasa" by the people who watched the battle.
The Second Prince felt a sudden chill on his back and politely responded, "Then I'll do it next time!?"
puff~
Zi Yan was the first one who couldn't help laughing, it was a pity that her face remained cold and expressionless.
The second prince looked at her awkwardly, which only made things even more awkward.
"Miss Qin, is your maid laughing at me?"
"No, she is naturally expressionless. Second Prince, don't mind."
Second Prince: "..."
Thank you. He feels even more uncomfortable after you said that.
He had a lost expression on his face.
"Second Prince, what others have is not what you lose."
Qin Miaoxi sneered, "So what do you have to be disappointed about?"
"Is Miss Qin always so direct in her speech?"
"If the Second Prince wants to beat around the bush, I can still accommodate you."
"That's not necessary."
Qin Miaoxi suddenly stood up solemnly and whispered, "Thank you for your help this time, Second Prince."
The second prince was stunned. He didn't expect that she could see through his purpose this time, and the smile on his face became more sincere.
"Miss Qin, you're too polite. Since Miss Qin has no intention, I won't be annoying here. I'll take these things and leave."
The Second Prince and his entourage came and left in a hurry, and before leaving, they took the big trouble Huang Bang with them.
Zi Yan nodded in satisfaction and praised, "This Second Prince has quite a keen eye!"
"He came here just for the yellow list. Do you really think he's attracted to your daughter?"
"Ah? He acted so genuinely, and even prepared nearly a hundred boxes of betrothal gifts."
Qin Miaoxi patted her shoulder and comforted her: "It's all acting, it's all fake."
"Then he's not afraid that Miss will get carried away and agree to it after seeing so much betrothal gifts?"
The more Zi Yan thought about it, the more she believed this to be the case. It was common knowledge in Jingzhao that her young lady loved money, and bribing her young lady with gold, silver, and jewelry was the most effective way.
Qin Miaoxi nodded seriously, "After hearing what you said, I suddenly regret it. Go call the Second Prince back and ask him again. This time I will definitely agree."
She suddenly felt a sharp gaze from behind her, and she quickly followed the gaze, but found nothing, there was no one there.
There was someone there just now.
Zi Yan looked up at the sky speechlessly. Damn it, the young lady took it seriously. She was so sorry for her son-in-law!
"Miss, why don't you think about it again? Actually, being a widow in your son-in-law's family is not bad. The people in the mansion are all good to us."
Qin Miaoxi poked her head in annoyance, "You! If you speak without restraint again next time, I will send you back to the mountain to be retrained."
At the Second Prince's residence, Huang Bang was placed in the guest room, and the Second Prince personally waited for the arrival of the imperial physician.
"Master, why are you seeking marriage with the wife of Marquis Xuanping?"
"Do you think you have the right to comment on my affairs?"
"I dare not. I am only afraid of insulting your Highness's wisdom."
The Second Prince tapped his hand lightly on the table. "I really want to be humiliated by her, but unfortunately she won't give me the chance."
The guards were filled with shock. Could it be that the second prince really fell in love with a widow?
As for Huang Bang, after the diagnosis by the imperial physician, although he was not dead, he was no different from a dead person. His internal organs were injured and his internal injuries were serious. He might not wake up again in the future and would have to spend the rest of his life in bed.
The guard listened to every word the imperial physician said and lowered his head to hide the mixed emotions on his face.
The wife of Marquis Xuanping is too powerful. His prince will definitely not be able to bear it. He must find a way to dispel his prince's obsession.
The news that the two most powerful people in the Marquis Xuanping's mansion were seeking marriage with the Marquis' wife spread throughout Jingzhao. The teahouse immediately arranged a similar classic story, vividly describing the grievances and hatreds between the palace guards, the prince, and the Marquis' wife, and attracted many young men and women to come and listen to the fun.

The sound of shattering was quickly drowned out by the shouting of the crowd, and no one paid any attention.
"Miss, your story is everywhere. It will be terrible if they find out. Let's go back quickly!"
"What's the hurry? Let me listen again!"
Qin Miaoxi interrupted her impatiently. This storyteller was very interesting. If she was not involved in the matter, she would really believe that she had a complicated relationship with those two people.
Zi Yan was overwhelmed and finally took out her trump card.
"Miss, someone down there sent a message saying they've found the secret of the hanging coffins in Shimen Village."
Qin Miaoxi then looked at her seriously and said, "Let's go!"
She always had doubts in her heart. There were many ways to deal with the eldest prince, so why did she have to choose such a strange place as the hanging coffin? Was there any deeper meaning?
Qin Miaoxi was strolling aimlessly on the street. It took her half an hour to walk a hundred meters.
"Okay, that's enough shopping for today. We'll go shopping next time."
After saying that, she took Zi Yan back home.
They returned to the dormitory without stopping, and quickly placed all the things they bought on the table, and a secret letter took shape.
The murder of an entire family in Shimen Village was related to the second and fourth princes.
