I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 144 Drink this glass of wine

Seeing the figure of Prince Yongning, Tao Anran and Imperial Physician Qian hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Mu Qingqing also quickly stood up and bowed.

"Cousin, this bastard is bullying me, you must stand up for me."

Pointing at Tao Anran, Zhao Yingying climbed up crying, wiping her tears with grievance, and began to complain to Fu Mingchi.

"Cousin, that's not the case."

Mu Qingqing was about to explain, but Fu Mingchi raised his hand with a cold face and glanced at Tao Anran silently.

Seeing this, Zhao Yingying was secretly delighted, but then she heard Fu Mingchi say, "Send Yingying back."

"Cousin, what did you say?"

Zhao Yingying was startled and cried even harder: "When did my cousin become so cruel? Are you going to let him go just because he's Miss Ye's man?"

Wiping the blood oozing from her forehead, Zhao Yingying choked up and said, "If my cousin hadn't arrived in time, I would have been nearly killed by him. He didn't care about me at all. Am I really that insignificant in his heart?"

Tao Anran frowned speechlessly and quickly explained, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it."

"There's no need for Shopkeeper Tao to say more. I know what's going on."

Fu Mingchi glanced coldly at Yan Jin who followed him in: "What are you still standing there for? Take Yingying back."

Yan Jin was about to approach in fear when Zhao Yingying sat down on the ground and cried out loudly, "Father, Mother, did you see this? You have devoted your lives to the palace for decades and have made great contributions, but your cousin allowed his daughter to be bullied by an outsider like this. My daughter is so sad. I don't want to live anymore."

Everyone in the room listened to her throwing a tantrum and lowered their heads, unable to bear to watch.

Fu Mingchi stood there indifferently, too lazy to pay attention.

Zhao Yingying became even more sad: "Uncle, if you are still alive, please have pity on Yingying and let Yingying go down to accompany you. Yingying misses you so much. If you were still alive, how could Yingying be bullied like this?"

Hearing her mention her deceased father, Fu Mingchi felt a slight movement in his heart.

My father has only one younger sister, my aunt. My uncle gave up his future in Lin'an for the sake of the royal palace and was willing to stay in Yuezhou and work hard for decades. My father naturally loves their only daughter.

As an elder brother and the new owner of the Yongning Palace, he cares about everyone in the palace, but the premise is that he cannot do anything beyond the limit.

His aunt and her only daughter had become increasingly erratic in recent years, and he was extremely displeased with their behavior.

Everyone in the room remained silent, except for Zhao Yingying's tragic cries. After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Yingying suddenly fainted.

After all, she is the princess's daughter. If anything happens to her, the only ones who will be punished will be the servants. Imperial Physician Qian was terrified and quickly advised: "Your Highness, Miss Zhao has traveled for several days to reach Qizhou."

"Send it back."

Fu Mingchi was impatient to interrupt him and ordered Yan Jin to send someone to carry Zhao Yingying out.

When they arrived at Zhao Yingying's guest room, Imperial Physician Qian personally took her pulse and confirmed that she had fainted due to grief and overwork. Fu Mingchi instructed the maids in the courtyard to take good care of her and then left.

"cousin."

Zhao Yingying suddenly woke up and hurriedly pulled him back: "Yingying, my head hurts so much, can't you stay with me?"

Fu Mingchi was still about to leave when Zhao Yingying shouted, "I know my cousin only has Miss Ye in his heart. What my cousin from the Mu family said is right. I shouldn't have acted on my own and ruined our brother-sister relationship. I just want my cousin to care about me like a brother for a while. Is this too much to hope for?"

Hearing this, Fu Mingchi stopped and ordered someone to bring the medicine over. He said indifferently, "Help Miss Cousin drink the medicine."

Zhao Yingying shook her head pitifully: "Cousin, I don't want to take medicine. I came here from Yuzhou and haven't had a good meal for several days. Can you stay and have dinner with me?" What she said was true. She had been traveling for several days and had caused a big fuss as soon as she entered Qizhou today. Looking at the pale corners of her lips, Fu Mingchi still had a lot to say to her, so he agreed to her.

Someone was asked to prepare food in the dining hall. Fu Mingchi sat quietly at the table. Soon, he saw Zhao Yingying coming out with a pot of wine.

After sending everyone away, Zhao Yingying silently looked at the pot of wine in her hand, suppressed her inner tension and slowly sat down beside him.

Fu Mingchi watched quietly as she filled a glass of wine and handed it to him. When she put down the glass, her fingers trembled noticeably.

"Cousin, you and Miss Ye are getting married soon. Yingying offers you this glass of wine and wishes you a long and happy life together." Zhao Yingying gestured with a gentle smile.

"There's no rush for the wedding banquet between the prince and Wan'er."

Fu Mingchi calmly picked up the wine glass and said, "It was Shopkeeper Tao who offended you today, and I was unable to make the decision for you. This glass of wine is my apology for him."

As he spoke, he handed the wine to her meaningfully, and Fu Mingchi said in a cold voice, "Drink this glass of wine."

Zhao Yingying was stunned.

"What? Doesn't Yingying want to sincerely bless cousin and Wan'er?" Fu Mingchi's eyes became stern.

Zhao Yingying was so scared that she quickly shook her head.

Fu Mingchi curled his lips: "So there's something wrong with this wine?"

"No." Zhao Yingying shook her head faster and faster: "No, cousin, I'm still sick and can't drink."

"You still dare to quibble." Fu Mingchi slammed the table angrily. "I don't know what kind of people those people in the Pacification Commissioner's Office are. What good can come of searching for you for no reason?"

Zhao Yingying was extremely frightened as she didn't expect her cousin to see through everything so easily.

Fu Mingchi suddenly stood up and said in a low voice, "When we return to Yuezhou, I will discuss with your father and find a marriage for you. If you dare to have private dealings with the Pacification Commissioner again and try to murder Wan'er, I will not forgive you."

After speaking, he walked away.

"Cousin." Zhao Yingying was about to chase out when the door was tightly shut. She weakly leaned against the door, sobbing in pain and muttering to herself, "How am I inferior to that bitch that you keep treating me so cruelly?"

As dusk fell, Ye Wanshu sat at the coffee table in the house, feeling a little uneasy.

After coming back from outside, she also heard what happened in Mu Qingqing's courtyard. When she learned that Zhao Yingying had fainted, she wanted to go over to see, but was stopped by her adoptive father.

It’s not that she was worried about Zhao Yingying’s safety. After all, Manager Tao was a member of the Ye family, and she was afraid that Manager Tao would be plotted against by Zhao Yingying.

But what my cheap father said was right. I'm not even married yet, but I'm meddling in the palace's affairs. If I manage it well, everyone will be happy. But if something goes wrong, it will only be disadvantageous to me.

After waiting in the house for a long time, seeing that there was no movement in the yard, Ye Wanshu didn't think much about it, but the two maids were very anxious.

"Miss, I heard that Miss Zhao went to the kitchen to ask for food and asked His Highness to have dinner there." Chunhong said worriedly, "I also heard that Miss Zhao went out to meet someone from the Pacification Commissioner's Office today. I wonder if His Highness has been bewitched by that vixen?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Ye Wanshu scolded.

Since she has firmly chosen Fu Mingchi, she should trust her future husband.

After all, she had suffered a loss before, and Xingtao was worried that the girl would repeat the same mistake, so she hurried to the door to check.

At a glance, I saw Fu Mingchi walking towards me from the corner in front.
