Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1963 - 1971: Ignorant Foolish Woman (2)

Zixuan saw the opportunity and hurriedly spoke in a gentle tone, "Wait, Master, don’t rush. In my humble opinion, even if you scold the Eldest Princess, it will not help. It would be better to use other means to pressure her."

Chen He, seeing her speak with such confidence, said, "Zixuan, do you have a plan?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Zixuan softly replied, "I do indeed have a method that can force the Eldest Princess to fully support your endeavors, but I’m hesitant to speak, fearing suspicion may fall upon me."

The woman’s words were undeniably sinister, hinting to Chen He that Princess Zhao Hua hadn’t been earnest in helping him with his official pursuits. Without pressing her, Chen He’s affairs would never be accomplished.

Stirred up by her provocations, Chen He immediately felt a surge of anger and said maliciously, "Just speak your mind, I will be your backing. Who would dare suspect you? I won’t let them off!"

Zixuan, sensing the moment was ripe, said warmly, "Master, I believe that the Eldest Princess isn’t neglectful of your affairs because she can’t speak to the Empress; rather, she doesn’t want you to enter the court. Her brother, the King of Chu, was nearly killed in court struggles back in the day, and her mother died because of it. So she is inherently opposed to you going to court. She’s just afraid you’ll retaliate if she speaks the truth. She probably thinks that with her current wealth, even if you do not take office, the whole family can still lead a prosperous life. So why should you risk going to court?"

"Therefore, if you order her private library to be made public, she will have nothing to rely on and will have no choice but to fully commit to you."

Upon hearing this, Chen He furrowed his brows, thinking for a moment, and found it could indeed be the case. Initially, when he mentioned his official pursuits to Zhao Hua, she indeed spoke of things similar to what Zixuan had said, and it was only after he beat her several times that she stopped bringing it up. Now it seemed that slut didn’t want him to be an official and was just playing both sides with him!

Chen He’s expression turned gloomy, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt Zixuan made sense. At once, he slapped the table with a "snap," stopped playing chess, and strode towards Princess Zhao Hua’s courtyard...

Zixuan was extremely pleased; she was the queen of the alley, there wasn’t a man she couldn’t seduce. Seeing Chen He go and make things difficult for his wife of thirteen years just because of a few of her instigations made Zixuan’s face display a sinister smile.

Indeed: No matter how cunning you are like a ghost, you still drink my foot washing water.

As long as Chen He confiscates Princess Zhao Hua’s private library, won’t all those countless jewels and headwear, precious silk cloth, antiques and paintings, become the possessions in her purse?

Chen He, furious, stormed into the princess’s courtyard where Princess Zhao Hua was accompanying her son in his studies. She was a conservative and traditional woman. In her heart, her husband was her sky, and she must be a good wife and mother, living up to the standards set in "Women Rules" and "Lessons for Women."

Seeing the furious Chen He barging in, Princess Zhao Hua was taken aback and stood up, saying, "Husband, why are you here?"

Chen He let out a snort and coldly said, "Slut, let me ask you, after all this time, why haven’t you spoken to the Empress?"

Princess Zhao Hua replied, "Didn’t I tell you already, I don’t know the Empress well enough to speak with her. After some time, when I become familiar with her, I will plead with her, then..."

"Hmph! After some time, how long exactly?" Chen He sneered coldly, pressing aggressively.

"This... this..."

Princess Zhao Hua hesitated, unsure of how long it would take, hoping for the Empress to be a bit warmer to her and not so indifferent!
