Chapter 331 The Fat Concubine is Extremely Talented; She Speaks 8 Languages (1)
"Crackling and popping!"
"Crackling and popping!"
Su Dingding opened her eyes. She was sitting in a sedan chair, with the sound of firecrackers in her ears, and she was wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Because of his excessive obesity, the space in the sedan chair appeared particularly narrow.
She ripped off the red veil and looked at her chubby hands, finding them rather cute.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the sedan chair, and then the wedding procession stopped.
"What? The prince... is dead?"
Hearing the old woman's voice outside the sedan chair, Su Dingding frowned. Could it be that the person she was going to marry had died again?
"By imperial decree, the Princess Consort shall be dressed in mourning clothes and buried with the Prince!"
The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and several old women were about to help her change into mourning clothes right there in the street.
"This is outrageous! I'd like to see who dares to touch me!"
Su Dingding let out a sharp shout and slapped the sedan chair so hard it broke apart.
The sedan chair bearers were all frightened; the princess had incredible strength!
The eunuch who delivered the decree and his men were also shocked. They had heard that the young lady of the general's mansion was a useless, cowardly fool. How could she have such an aura?
"Your Highness, please change into mourning clothes!" A clueless old woman stood in front of Su Dingding.
She was the Empress's woman, so naturally she didn't take the General's daughter seriously.
Even if she's a princess, so what? Even the prince died from poisoning, she won't live past today!
Su Dingding reached out his big hand and pulled the old nanny over, took off her clothes, and put the mourning clothes on her.
He then punched the old woman unconscious and carried her on his shoulder.
"Gangzi, navigation!"
[Alright, host, while you're at it, also take over the original owner's memories.]
The original owner's name was Fan Yilan, and she was nineteen years old.
Before her father, Fan Zhong, joined the army, he married a wealthy local woman.
The following year, the wealthy family's daughter became pregnant, and Fan Zhong went to the border with the army.
A few years later, Fan Zhong became a deputy general and returned to his hometown to reunite with his wife and daughter.
Not long after, Fan Zhong's wife died of illness. He sold all of his wife's property and brought Fan Yilan to the capital.
At this time, seven-year-old Fan Yilan learned that her father had already started a family in the capital, and that he had a younger sister, Fan Mengyuan, who was two years younger than her, and a younger brother, Fan Siyan, who was three years younger than her.
Although Fan Yilan was the eldest daughter, she was not even as good as a maid in the Fan family.
Fan Mengyuan and Fan Siyan would find different ways to bully her every day.
Liu also fed her weight-gain powder for a long time, turning her into a fat woman weighing over 200 pounds, and subjecting her to ridicule and contempt.
Before the age of seven, Fan Yilan was clever, obedient, and sensible.
She never went to school after the age of seven, lived in the woodshed, and was bullied by everyone.
Until she was nineteen, Prince Qi offended the Emperor for some unknown reason, and the Emperor betrothed him to the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion.
Almost everyone in Beijing knows that Fan Yilan is not only fat, but also a good-for-nothing.
Anyone who marries her will suffer a tremendous disgrace!
On the day of the wedding, everyone thought that Prince Qi had committed suicide because he was unhappy with the arranged marriage, but little did they know that he had actually been poisoned by the Empress.
Unaware of the situation, Fan Yilan was stripped of her clothes in the street, dressed in mourning attire, and sent to the Prince's mansion.
The oversized mourning clothes and the oversized coffin clearly indicated that they were prepared in advance.
Fan Yilan had just been given poison when Prince Qi crawled out of his coffin.
He knew about the Empress's plan all along, and the reason he cooperated in the act was to make Fan Yilan commit suicide!
After all, he didn't want this good-for-nothing fat guy to ruin his reputation and become a laughing stock.
But to his surprise, after discovering that he was not dead, Fan Yilan was also given the antidote and survived.
On the surface, she was a princess in the royal palace, but in reality, she was a prisoner.
She was confined to her room by Prince Qi every day and was not allowed to leave. She was only allowed to come out when the Empress summoned the couple to the palace.
The Empress ordered her to poison Prince Qi. She gave him the poison, but fearing he wouldn't cooperate, she poisoned him as well.
Prince Qi knew she was the Empress's spy, so he locked her up and only gave her one meal a day, which was just stale porridge and moldy steamed buns that didn't fill her up.
Rumor has it that Prince Qi doted on her, often commissioning plus-size dresses and jewelry as gifts for her.
Those items were indeed purchased, but Fan Yilan had never seen them.
This made her half-sister Fan Mengyuan very jealous, so she spread rumors that she was immoral when she was young and had affairs with many men.
Even when she went back to her parents' home, they gave her itching powder, saying she had contracted venereal disease.
This rumor also had a significant impact on Prince Qi, causing him to lose face.
Fan Yilan was unable to refute him and was almost beaten to death by Prince Qi, who then gave her a letter of divorce.
The legitimate daughter of a general's family, the Princess Consort of Prince Qi, was paraded through the streets with two tattered shoes hanging from her feet.
People on both sides of the road threw rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and even stones at her.
Fan Yilan suffered a head injury and was bleeding profusely. The poison the Empress had given her had taken effect, causing her to vomit blood and die in the street.
After her death, no one claimed her body; it was dumped in a mass grave and devoured by wild dogs.
"Host, the original owner's wish was to live a life free and unrestrained, making those who bullied her pay the price! She also wanted to go out and see the world she lived in," Gangzi said.
Su Dingding strode forward, a murderous glint gradually appearing in his eyes.
Fan Yilan lived in this world for nineteen years. When she arrived in the capital, she was first imprisoned by her father for twelve years, rarely leaving the mansion. Then she was imprisoned by Prince Qi. Apart from entering the palace twice, she almost never left her simple room.
For her, being paraded through the streets was her first time shopping.
She never harmed anyone; it seemed that her very existence was a mistake!
Where did we go wrong?
Was her mistake that she was easy to bully, too weak, and had no one to rely on?
But now that Su Dingding has arrived, none of these people will have an easy time!
"Fan Yilan, you stop right there!" the head eunuch shouted in a shrill voice behind her.
"Guards! Seize Princess Qi!"
Unfortunately, even the guards couldn't walk as fast as Su Dingding.
Although she weighs over 200 pounds, she is as light as a swallow and moves with the speed of the wind.
On the street, everyone stared in astonishment at a rare sight: a plump woman carrying an old nanny on her shoulder, running briskly forward.
Behind her, eunuchs, guards, old women, and maids were sparsely following her.
Soon, they arrived at the Prince Qi's residence.
Inside the mansion, the red silk had already been removed and replaced with funeral banners.
Su Dingding rushed into the Prince's mansion, saw the coffin, and threw the old nanny inside!
"Your Highness, may you rest in peace!"
After Su Dingding finished speaking, he began to close the coffin.
Upon seeing this, Prince Qi's confidants hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, "How dare you! Who gave you permission to approach the prince's coffin?"
"roll!"
Su Dingding kicked out, sending those who tried to stop her flying more than ten meters away. They landed on the ground, all spitting blood.
"I am the newlywed princess of Prince Qi. Now that he is dead, I am the one who calls the shots in this palace!" Su Dingding put her hands on her hips and stomped her foot, causing the ground to shake.
Everyone stared at her in shock. Had this woman gone mad?
"Princess Consort Qi, the Emperor has bestowed poisoned wine upon you. Drink it quickly and accompany Prince Qi on his journey!" The eunuch, oblivious to the danger, was still thinking about completing his mission.
"On their way?" Su Dingding sneered. "Quite a few people are setting off today. The road to the underworld is certainly lively!"
