Sheng Banlan arrived in the capital with a wealth that was unparalleled in the country to fulfill her engagement, but what awaited her was a sentence from the Marquis of Zhenbei, "Deprecating herself as a concubine."
Do you think she is a merchant's daughter and not worthy of a noble family?
Sheng Banlan broke off the engagement on the spot, took back all the shops, and cut off all expenses of the Hou Mansion.
She used her actions to tell the powerful people in the capital: hold the hardest money and slap the most painful face.
Just when the whole capital was waiting to see how Sheng Turning would end, the Nine Princes Shu Rong Yanzhi, who was so ruthless that even the emperor was afraid of him, intervened forcefully.
Later, when Huai'an saw that the merchant girl whom she had once despised had suddenly become the most distinguished regent in the Daqing Dynasty, she became red-eyed and wanted to rob her.
Rong Yanzhi placed his long sword across the side of his neck, with a sinister look in his eyes: "Nephew, please be more respectful."
