Chapter 349 Xu Yuexi's Confession
The man was named Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Menglan's cousin, and a famous playboy in the capital. He had coveted Xu Yuexi's beauty for a long time, and when he heard that she was coming today, he came uninvited. Zhang Yunfei's appearance made Zhang Menglan's husbands very dissatisfied, as this man did not know the rules.
Before Xu Yuexi could say anything, Jiang Tian spoke.
"Yun Fei, today we have distinguished guests. This is not a place for an unmarried man like you to be. Why don't you leave now?"
However, Zhang Yunfei ignored Jiang Tian's words, came to Xu Yuexi and Zhang Menglan, and knelt down to salute Xu Yuexi.
"I am Zhang Yunfei, and I pay my respects to Princess Wuyou. May you live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years. Princess, I have admired you for a long time, and I am willing to marry you and serve you as my concubine."
Before Xu Yuexi could say anything, Zhang Menglan exploded.
"Zhang Yunfei, do you still have any sense of shame? Since ancient times, men have married at the behest of their parents and matchmakers. How could you, a weakling like you, offer yourself to the emperor?"
Zhang Yunfei didn't care. Instead, he looked at Xu Yuexi with deep affection in his eyes. "Princess, Yunfei knows that this is abrupt, but Yunfei's feelings for you are known to all. As long as you are willing, Yunfei is willing to do anything for you."
"Little sister, this man is my cousin. He is not good at literature or martial arts, and he has no other strengths. He is not even qualified to be your concubine or your servant. He has been spoiled by my uncle since he was a child. Don't agree to him."
Zhang Menglan was furious at Zhang Yunfei's behavior of coming uninvited and offering himself to her. Her family had lost face because of him. Such a man was not worthy of marrying her younger sister.
After listening to Zhang Menglan's words, Xu Yuexi looked at the man in front of her. He looked average, had no skills, and was very uncultured. Not to mention that she didn't plan to marry, even if she did, he wasn't her "dish".
Xu Yuexi frowned slightly and said, "Master Zhang, I appreciate your kindness. But marriage requires mutual love. You and I have only met once, so it is difficult for me to agree. I hope Master Zhang will not be so persistent."
Zhang Yunfei's face turned pale instantly after hearing this. He bit his lip, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"Princess..." He wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Zhang Menglan.
"Zhang Yunfei, don't be shameless! The princess has already rejected you, why don't you get out!" Zhang Menglan said angrily.
Zhang Yunfei was spoiled by his father since he was a child, and all his requests were met. Now that he was rejected by Xu Yuexi, he was already unhappy, and after hearing Zhang Menglan's words, the young master's temper came out and he was immediately furious.
"Second sister, shut up. How can you be so ungrateful? I'm your brother, can't you stand up to me?
You have such a good relationship with the princess, you can clearly say a few good words for me and let me marry well, but why do you have to belittle me in various ways?" Zhang Yunfei yelled at Zhang Menglan.
Zhang Yunfei's servant Zhang Xiaosan hurried forward to hold Zhang Yunfei and persuade him.
"Sir, Sir, calm down. You are a man. It is rude to talk to the Second Miss like this. You should apologize to the Second Miss!"
"Get out of here, I don't need you to tell me what to do." Zhang Yunfei pushed Zhang Xiaosan away and cursed.
"Zhang Yunfei, where is your upbringing? How dare you be so rude to your second sister? Apologize to her immediately, otherwise I don't mind letting you spend a few days in jail."
In this world where there are more men than women, the court has many laws to protect women.
One of the important provisions is that if a man openly insults a woman or behaves disrespectfully towards her, the woman has the right to report the case to the authorities. Once the report is received, the authorities will deal with the matter seriously and hold the man accountable.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize to her? Am I wrong? She just can't stand seeing me get better and doesn't care about me at all. Otherwise, why would she know my feelings but not help me? I don't have a second sister like this."
"Zhang Yunfei, you are totally unreasonable!" Zhang Menglan was so angry that she was shaking all over. "Get out right now. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for not caring about our relationship as siblings."
"My dear wife, please don't be angry. You are pregnant. What will happen if you get angry and make yourself sick?"
Zhang Menglan's second husband immediately stepped forward, holding Zhang Menglan's arm with one hand and gently patting her back with the other hand. His eyes were full of concern and worry, his brows slightly furrowed, and he said softly, "Wife, take a deep breath and relax."
Zhang Menglan was pregnant with his child, so he was nervous and worried, fearing that she would get angry and cause something bad to happen.
The other attendants nearby also came forward, some handed her a cup of warm water, some gently massaged her shoulders, and some whispered comfort to her.
Zhang Menglan's expression gradually relaxed. She looked at Zhang Yunfei and said indignantly, "Little sister, I'm sorry for spoiling your fun today and making a fool of myself. He was spoiled by my second uncle and doesn't know his place." Then she sighed softly and leaned into Ercejun's arms.
She couldn't handle such a fool, and she was too lazy to care about him.
Xu Yuexi smiled and shook her head, saying, "Second sister, it's okay. This kind of person is not worth my attention, and you don't have to care about it either."
"Hmph! Just go. Just wait for me, I'm going to tell my father." Zhang Yunfei stood up, pointed at Xu Yuexi and said, "Princess, you rejected me today, don't regret it later." After saying that, Zhang Yunfei turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Xu Yuexi said.
When Zhang Yunfei heard Xu Yuexi calling him, he thought she had changed her mind, but her next words made his face change.
"Kneel down and apologize to me and Lady Zhang, or you won't be able to leave here easily today."
He was quite courageous. She didn't want to argue with him for the sake of her elder sister. He was so ignorant that he pointed at her and talked about her. If she didn't teach him a lesson, wouldn't it be unworthy of her status?
Zhang Yunfei widened his eyes and looked at Xu Yuexi in disbelief.
"You actually asked me to apologize to you? What did I do wrong that you want to insult me like this?"
Xu Yuexi sneered, "Oh! Insult you? You were rude to me, and you were rude to pregnant Lady Zhang in front of me. I am only asking you to apologize because of Lady Zhang and Prime Minister Zhang. Otherwise, I will make you walk out today.
Kneel down before me now and apologize!"
Zhang Yunfei gnashed his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to really disobey Xu Yuexi's order. He was not smart, but he also knew that he, his father, and his uncle were not greater than the imperial power.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally knelt down reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Princess, second sister, I was wrong, please forgive me."
Xu Yuexi looked at Zhang Yunfei and said in a cold tone: "I will forgive you this time. If there is a next time, let me know that you are rude to Miss Zhang, don't blame me for being rude to you.
Zhang Yunfei, as a citizen of my country of Saint Jersey, you have not even the most basic self-cultivation qualities, let alone serving the country and the court. I punish you by making you copy "Male Rules" and "Male Virtues" five hundred times each, and complete it within one month.
Mingyue, send someone to watch over it, and make sure he copies it himself. After a month, you come and inspect it yourself."
"Yes, I will obey your order." Mingyue replied.
When Zhang Yunfei heard this, he immediately fell to the ground.
There are hundreds of articles in each of the books "Male Morality" and "Male Precepts". How can he finish copying them in one month? And once today is over, the news of his punishment will spread. How can he get married in the future? Who would marry a man with such bad morals?
After Zhang Yunfei was taken away, Zhang Menglan said to Xu Yuexi gratefully, "Thank you for helping me vent my anger, I think he will be much more obedient now.
You don't know, my second uncle is a very confused person, because he only has one son, he loves him very much. My father has advised him many times to educate him well, he promised well, but secretly still doted on him. Now, he has only one son to support. "
Xu Yuexi comforted him, "So, educating children should start from childhood."
Zhang Menglan nodded and said, "Indeed. I have to educate my two children well. Maybe we two sisters can become relatives in the future."
"It's possible!" Xu Yuexi replied with a smile.
The farce ended here, and the husbands breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xu Yuexi and Zhang Menglan continued to chat and laugh without being affected.
