The Princess Wei Yang

Chapter 88: Startling With Each Step- Part 2

During that evening, Zuo Yuan, the vice commander of the army received an order, an order hard to believe: “What, Concubine wants to kill her?”

The female official whispered: “Lower your voice, cautious that others will hear!”

Zuo Yuan held his hands behind his back as he sauntered back and forth for a while before he finally stopped. Watching the gorgeous face of the sitting Concubine Zhang De, he said: “Concubine, Anping Xianzhu is someone well-liked by the Emperor. The Empress Dowager also favors her, and much recently, the Seventh Prince and her……”

Concubine Zhang De’s hairpin showed delicate six-leaves flower and exquisite jade ornament and as she spoke, the long accessory dropped and gently dangled: “Precisely for Yu er, I can’t let her live.”

Zuo Yuan confusedly looked at Concubine Zhang De and then this biao jie of his quietly smiled like silence dwelling on a sharp dragonfly. It was difficult for others to grasp the swift eloquence amidst her silence as her voice aroused stacked waves: “Yu-er mentioned to me that he wants to marry her as his main wife.”

Zuo Yuan was shocked and revealed an incredible expression. Even though Li Wei Yang was Anping Xianzhu, she is still of lower birth, so it’s inevitable that she would be not as highly regarded compared to other xiaojies. If he did marry her, they’re afraid others would laugh at them. The Seventh Prince was high privileged and so Concubine Zhang De wouldn’t like her as her daughter-in-law. Although she didn’t like her, rejection would have been sufficient, why resort to such violent treachery?

Concubine Zhang De sighed and said: “If he thoughtlessly mentioned it, I perhaps would have granted it and let him take her as his concubine. But he must act serious and assert that he must wed her as his main wife.”

Zuo Yuan still didn’t understand since Concubine Zhang De has always been benevolent so why would she give an order like this all of a sudden---

The corners of Concubine Zhang De’s lips rose to form a chilled smile: “Yu er, this child, I understand him well. He seems easy to get along but he is very stubborn. If I flatly rejected him, he definitely wouldn’t give up and would stir up a lot of trouble. So, I promised him and told him I would find a chance to ask the Emperor to bestow their marriage. But how could I let this kind of girl into my family? Li Wei Yang, I met her today. The Emperor had praised her for her intelligence and wits but I personally think that her failure to show restraints and her domineering attitude are troubles. Seeing how she just returned to the Li family, she had already stirred up this much trouble with the matriarch. Rumors had been spreading around about their disharmony and how she can’t get along with her seniors. In the future, I don’t know how many women will be in Yu er’s residence, but think about it, how could she help Yu er manage his residence in the future? I don’t like her so I will definitely not allow Yu er to marry her but I can’t directly reject, the only option is to get rid of her.”  

Zuo Yuan was still a little worried: “Niang niang, there is no need to fuss about this over this yatou, a warning would be sufficient.”

Warning? Even if she gave Li Wei Yang a warning, what would her own son do? In Concubine Zhang De’s heart, she also had another reason. Because it was rare to see Tuoba Yu reveal such expressions, when he mentioned Li Wei Yang, his eyes would also be smiling. As his mother, Concubine Zhang De immediately knew her son was being serious, a never before seen seriousness, causing her to feel sincerely dreadful. So, she specially summoned Li Wei Yang to see what kind of girl she was. If she was gentle and considerate, then she would perhaps consider keeping her. But she had to be this adamant and hoped for a one true pair of this lifetime for eternity. This kind of woman, what good will it do to marry her home! If Li Wei Yang doesn’t die, Tuoba Yu will indubitably marry her. Rather seeing this happen, why not make up one’s mind and get rid of her completely.
