The quick travel journey of the cold heroine

Chapter 138: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (46)

A woman like Shui Zhizi is praised by everyone as a businessman, but if she wants to be an imperial concubine, it will undoubtedly be a torture for her.

She herself would not like it. In the future, she would be suppressed by the wife, provoked by the concubines, and be trapped in the backyard and helpless where she could do nothing. Each of these would make Shui Zhizi collapse.

But Shui Zhizi had no choice. Her Mingyuan Hall and Corning Building were already well-known, and this time because of the epidemic, she received even more attention and praise.

With Shui Zhizi's abilities, she will gain more support from the people as she continues to develop. The emperor has already made up his mind to have her join the royal family.

Maybe I shouldn't have pushed her in front of others.

"You are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to marry in the future?"

Cough, cough, Shui Zhizi was choked. "Your Majesty, do you think I can get married with a reputation like this?"

She was a woman doing business, and there were countless rumors and gossips about her along the way.

Some people even said that she had some relationship with Qi Yu. Shui Zhizi's ears were almost callused from hearing all these rumors.

But Shui Zhizi never cared. All she wanted to do was to avenge the Li family. She didn't care what others thought of her.

She never thought about getting married.

"As far as I know, someone came to you and proposed marriage a few years ago, right?"

Shui Zhizi put down the cup and replied nonchalantly, "Yes, there have been people proposing marriage since Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building became well-known."

What this means is that it is self-evident what these people are interested in.

"Shui Zhizi, how about I take you as my adopted daughter?"

Shui Zhizi was shocked again, feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"The topics your Highness talked about today are stranger than the last. Don't worry, your Highness. I am grateful. I will always remember your care for me over the years.

And since I have agreed to cooperate with you, no matter what our relationship is, I will stand on the side of the Rui Palace, Your Majesty, there is no need to..."

"Tomorrow there will be a celebration banquet in the palace, and you must go. The emperor will personally grant you a marriage then."

Shui Zhi touched her ears and was silent for a long time before she found her voice again. "What if I refuse?"

"This is a reward, you can't refuse it."

"What if I insist on refusing?"

Prince Rui was helpless, and his stubbornness came back.

"Don't you even ask who the marriage partner is? Maybe this person is not bad."

"What if I hand over Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower and leave the capital forever? Or can I only refuse this marriage if I die?"

Does it matter who the other person is? The emperor has granted her marriage without even meeting her, so it doesn't matter who she is or who the other person is, right?

"Shui Zhizi! Do you really not care about your own hard work and life?"

Shui Zhizi looked up at King Rui with cold eyes.

"Yes, I care. But I want to ask you one thing: if I marry you according to your request, will my hard work and my life still be mine?

Isn't it Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Building that you want?"

"Shui Zhizi, could you please not be so stubborn?"

Shui Zhizi looked straight at Prince Rui without saying anything. She was wondering if the current emperor was also a person who would do anything to achieve his goals, then could she still avenge herself in a fair and just manner?

"Shui Zhizi, the emperor intends to make you the concubine of Prince Zhan. Prince Zhan has no principal wife. As far as I know, Prince Zhan should not have any concubines in his backyard.

The War King’s attitude is a little different. After you marry him, you can still do your business as long as you can get the War King’s consent.

If you acknowledge me as your foster father, with the blessing of the princess' status, I can also fight for the status of your principal wife. If the War King is really interested in you, he should agree. "

Shui Zhizi burst out laughing, "Thank you so much for the reward!"

Everything requires Zheng Hong's consent. Her fate is now in the hands of someone else. Why?

"Shui Zhizi, with your personality, you may not be able to accept such a sudden thing, but think about it, with the identity of the Zhan Wang concubine, you will definitely be better at doing business in the future..."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I don't need it. I'm tired and want to rest."

"Shui Zhizi, the emperor also wants to open clinics like Mingyuantang all over the country...

“But he won’t allow Mingyuan Hall to be named after a businessman, Your Majesty, I’m not stupid!

But no one wants to lose money running Mingyuan Hall, so he wants Kangning Building too!"

"Shui Zhizi, be careful with your words!" With her straightforward and stubborn personality, she will definitely suffer if she marries into the palace.

"Sorry, I was tired, so I said something without thinking." Shui Zhizi's apology was as perfunctory as it could be.

"water……"

"Your Highness, I'm tired!" Shui Zhizi suddenly raised her voice.

"Shui Zhizi, think about it carefully. You are a smart person and know what to choose that is best for yourself." King Rui said and left.

Choose? Huh? Does she have the right to choose?

The imperial power oppresses people. If she doesn't want to die and lose everything she has, she has no choice.

Unfortunately, they were wrong. She didn't care about anything she had or her life.

She has only one purpose in life, which is revenge, to kill Ying Wan'er and make Li Chuan regret it.

Shui Zhizi locked herself in the room for the whole day until she met Da Zhuang in the evening who had returned two days earlier than them.

"Da Zhuang, how's the matter going?"

"Boss, it's done. Your two friends have been sent to live in the manor. No one knows. Yuan Shi is accompanying them."

"Da Zhuang, I beg you for something."

Da Zhuang was not prepared at all and just watched Shui Zhizi kneel down in front of him. He frantically tried to pull Shui Zhizi up, but Shui Zhizi did not get up.

"Boss, don't be like this. Just tell me what you want to say."

Shui Zhizi had no time to waste, nor did she say any polite words. She just knelt down and calmly stated her request.

"If I don't come to Corning Building to see you tomorrow night, I'll ask you to do a few things for me."

"Boss, you say it, and I will do whatever it is." Everything he has now was given to him by his boss, and he had long since vowed to obey his boss's orders.

"First, let Yuan Shi take my two friends out of the capital at dawn and send them back to where they came from. Let them live their lives from now on. Don't tell anyone about their existence in this life."

"Okay. I'll send them off myself."

"The second thing is that this is the money we have earned in the past few years. We will distribute it to the people in Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall according to the length of time they have worked here, and then let them leave Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall from now on.

Then, a fire burned all of Kangning Building and Mingyuan Hall to ashes."

If her complaint to the emperor fails tomorrow, then such an emperor does not deserve to own Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower.

Da Zhuang's whole body trembled slightly, but he nodded without hesitation.
