[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

169-170

Chapter 169: We are worried!

Shi Qingluo thought of a question.

"Xi Rong hasn't married yet? Or at least settled her engagement?"

If she had, why would she run away from home?

Xiao Hanzheng replied, "When the princess was still alive, they settled Xi Rong's engagement in a baby engagement ceremony. Although the princess and her husband passed away early, Xi Rong was brought up in the palace, so not only did her fiancé's family not break off the engagement, they were also very enthusiastic about this marriage. The plan was for her fiancé to marry Xi Rong when she turned 16. Who knew that a year before the wedding ceremony, Xi Rong's fiancé secretly raised a mistress. Then, Xi Rong found out. She directly brought her people to their house to whip her fiancé and his mistress. Then, she wrote a letter of annulment and threw it to him. At that time, this matter caused quite a stir in the capital. Many people scolded Xi Rong behind her back for not obeying her roles and morals as a woman. The yushi even raised this to the court. The emperor doted on Xi Rong like a daughter, so he protected her. Not only did he scold the yushi, he even let Xi Rong inherit the Xi family's title as the female heir and made an exception to make her the new Nanshan marquess."

"The court was shaken back then, and many old fogies stood out to oppose it. After all, there weren't any female marquesses from the previous dynasties till today. But this was beyond their pay grade. The emperor was firm in his decision, so others could only acquiesce. Because of Xi Rong's previous feats, no one else proposed to marry her. She didn't care either. She even said that at worst, she wouldn't get married for the rest of her life. She even made the emperor, who originally wanted to bestow a marriage on her, to take back his order. The emperor and empress dowager owed her, so they let her be. Xi Rong was totally set free. From then on, she hung out with Xi Rui and the rest of the hedonists in the capital. In addition, she had a strong background and a strong personality. Anyone she disliked would immediately be whipped. That was why she was the famous female devil queen in the capital. Her reputation was also getting from bad to worse. Although no one dared to provoke her, no one dared to marry her too."

In his previous life, when he died, Xi Rong was still single.

She had even formed a female army contingent.

He added, "Although Xi Rong and Xi Rui's reputations in the capital are not very good, they have never bullied the vulnerable. Xi Rong has also dealt with a lot of evil aristocratic family members and whipped quite a number of evil people. Hence, she is known as the female tigress in the capital."

She was much better than those who acted all high and mighty.

Shi Qingluo really did not expect Xi Rong to be so valiant.

"A woman can act as she wishes. She's really dashing and cool!"

Shi Qingluo sighed. "Her life is what many women envied."

Of course, the reason why Xi Rong could live like this was also because she had a strong background, so she could be willful.

Xiao Hanzheng paused for a moment and said, "I think you are pretty good to stay who you are now."

Xi Rong was still too valiant.

He did not want his wife to become as valiant as her.

Shi Qingluo laughed softly. "Brother Zheng, you're so funny!"

There was only one Xi Rong in Daliang.

Nobody would replicate her success and elegance.

There wasn't a need for her young husband to worry.
