The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 188 Only Kowtowing Upon Seeing the Coffin

In a single sentence, Hu Weishan was so shocked that he lost his composure.

"Princess……"

Zheng Xun waved his hand: "Guess why Father Emperor entrusted me with the tasks of inspecting and presiding over the preliminary examination?"

Hu Weishan: "Because you are capable, Princess."

Zheng Xun: ...

"Although you are honest and insightful, your stupidity cannot be erased."

Zou Xi kindly advised, "Brother Hu, if the princess wants to deal with you, it will be as easy as crushing an ant."

He Qize scoffed, "Why bother talking to him so much? He's been arrogant for a long time."

Hu Weishan's face turned ugly: "You guys are quick to kneel!"

He Qize and Zou Xi couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Isn't it true that they kneel down quickly?"

That's Princess Yuanjia!

Doesn't he know who the princess is? A legendary, divine figure.

They truly possess extraordinary abilities, and she is also a favored and powerful princess. What can they possibly use to compete with her?

A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Putting aside gender prejudice, the princess is clearly a good tree. It's a rare opportunity, so what's wrong with them taking over her nest?

Since Zheng Xun has taken a liking to Hu Weishan's abilities and decided to put in the effort for him, why shouldn't she achieve results after all her hard work?

Even if it doesn't work out, can't she just take it by force?

She took out three copper coins, forcefully pulled Hu Weishan's arm, and shoved the coins into his hand: "Toss!"

Hu Weishan was confused, but his actions were faster than his thoughts. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already tossed the copper coin out.

Zheng Xun glanced at the copper coin: "Very unlucky."

Hu Weishan was silent for a moment: "Princess, I can tell fortunes."

Zheng Xun shook his head: "You won't."

"I really can!"

"You wouldn't! If you did, you'd know that giving in to me is your only choice!"

Hu Weishan: Princess, what's the difference between you and a bandit?

Zheng Xun raised her chin: "I know why you hate women."

Hu Weishan pursed his lips and did not answer.

"Isn't it because the woman you were pursuing got engaged to the best student next door? You felt that she looked down on you for not being academically gifted, so you worked hard and got into Wuzhou Academy, where you became a prominent student."

Hu Weishan said indignantly, "She just dislikes me!"

"That's true."

Hu Weishan suddenly stood up. Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi warily blocked his way, but he only stomped his foot in annoyance and shouted, "How annoying!"

other people:……

Zheng Xun's lips twitched, and she finally got back on track: "Because you have a father who is good at everything from eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, she's worried that you'll follow in his footsteps!"

"I don't!"

“You did! But as soon as you stepped into the casino, someone discovered you and reported you. Your mother gave you a severe beating and made you kneel on the ground and swear to stay away from casinos!”

Hu Weishan muttered guiltily, "I just went in to take a look..."

Zheng Xun scoffed, "First you go in to take a look, then you try it out, and eventually you can't quit at all."

Hu Weishan remained silent.

Zheng Xun continued, "You dared to climb over a widow's wall when you were fourteen, and ended up being lured in and having all your money confiscated, have you forgotten?"

"Just that one time..."

Zheng Xun impatiently interrupted him: "Hu Weishan, you are not a good person. It's normal that she looks down on you. I also look down on you."

"Since the princess looks down on me, why waste your time on me?"

"That's because you're skilled. Your grandfather and father were both blacksmiths, and you were able to forge a small piece of iron into extremely delicate objects."

Hu Weishan originally thought the princess was attracted to his scholarship, but he never expected the answer to be like this.

He asked, unwillingly, "Is that all?"

"that's it."

"The princess has pointed this out so bluntly that it requires my skills. Aren't you afraid I'll try to raise the price?"

Zheng Xun glanced at him and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

Zou Xi couldn't bear to look at him and looked away.

Does this person only stop thinking when they're burying themselves in books?

He Qize was too lazy to even scold him, and finally explained in a low voice: "Why don't you use your pig brain to think about why the princess knows so much? What is that light screen? Why can you see the scene in the capital?"

Hu Weishan belatedly realized the strangeness of the matter, swallowed hard, and whispered, "Is it that scary?"

He Qize rolled his eyes: "I really don't know where you got the courage to show off your limited skills in front of the princess. You think you can tell fortunes? The princess knows everything!"

Hu Weishan was stubborn and refused to believe in evil; he could pull back eight stubborn donkeys that were running wildly in the opposite direction for twenty miles.

He foolishly looked at Zheng Xun and asked, "Does the princess really know everything?"

Zheng Xun glanced at him: "When you were five, you wet your pants and were afraid of getting a beating, so you stole your dad's underpants to wipe yourself, then folded them up and put them back. Later, when your dad went out wearing those pants, everyone was saying that he was too old to still wet his pants."

"When you were seven, your father had a terrible temper and beat your mother because he didn't like her. You put chicken droppings in his food and then let the dog bite his butt while he was flirting with his lover."

He Qize and Zou Xi listened with great interest, and when they got to this point, they couldn't help but nod in agreement. "Yes, this was handled perfectly."

“When you were ten years old, your father and his mistress cooked your puppies. You secretly informed his mistress’s husband that very night, and in the end, both of them had three legs broken.”

"When you were eleven, your mother accidentally hurt your father..."

Hu Weishan remained calm, but Zheng Xun spoke very quickly. When he realized what she was about to say, he hurriedly tried to cover Zheng Xun's mouth.

Although Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi were enjoying the gossip, they did not let their guard down.

As expected, Hu Weishan was stopped.

Zheng Xun looked at his struggling appearance and said calmly, "You accidentally killed your father. Your mother wanted to turn herself in, but you knocked her unconscious, set fire to the house, and dragged your unconscious mother out of the fire. So, things turned into a sad accident."

After she finished speaking, Hu Weishan regained his senses.

He knelt down with a thud, and even the stubborn donkey with its head held high bowed its back, humbly begging Zheng Xun to spare him.

Zheng Jiu clicked his tongue in approval: "Tsk, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

Zheng Shi silently added, "You only kowtow when you see the coffin."

"Hu Weishan, I originally wanted to save you some face. These secrets could have been kept hidden underground forever."

Hu Weishan closed his eyes and kowtowed several times: "This student knows his mistake. He should not have looked down on the princess and should not have been ungrateful."

He Qize and Zou Xi, who did not yet know Zheng Xun's personality, wanted to say something, but were also a little afraid of offending Zheng Xun.

Zheng Jiu and Zheng Shi didn't have that kind of restraint and gave their evaluations frankly.

"This was done perfectly."

"Indeed, if you see your own mother being beaten and remain indifferent, you are no different from an animal."

"That is to say, although Hu Weishan is sometimes a scoundrel, he also has a certain kind of goodness at times."
