"Mother, what does Father mean? He..." Fang Yunduo became anxious as soon as Fang Tang left. "Isn't the Third Prince engaged to our family? With Fang Yunyi gone, I'm the perfect candidate. How could I... Mother, I'd rather die than marry the Third Prince."
"Aduo," Sun Qingli gently stroked her daughter's head, "You can't be so impulsive."
"But……"
"That's the royal decision, not something you or I can control, and we can't force it."
Fang Yunduo fell silent.
“Aduo.” Sun Qingli held her daughter’s hand. “Actually, the Fifth Prince is not bad either. Don’t rush, let me finish. The Third Prince has too many people around him. Not to mention others, just Han Lian’er alone is enough to make you suffer. She even dared to hurt the princess, so she has even less scruples towards you.”
Fang Yunduo didn't speak, she just lowered her head.
"The other party is Chen Rui, the third prince's principal wife. She is from a branch of the Chen family and a relative of Consort Chen. Even if you can disregard everything and enter the third prince's residence, can you fight against her?"
Fang Yunduo looked up at Sun Qingli: "But Mother, I don't like the Fifth Prince."
“My dear daughter, whether you like it or not is secondary in the face of power. Think about it, the former crown prince is dead now, and the position of heir apparent is vacant. It’s uncertain who will win the position until the very last moment, so…” Sun Qingli sighed, “Aduo, I risked my life to make you a legitimate daughter instead of an illegitimate one, just so you would have a chance to compete for it. Don’t waste your beauty.”
Fang Yunduo's eyes flickered, but she finally lowered her head and said, "Let me think about it."
"Mm." Sun Qingli nodded.
On the other hand, after leaving the porcelain shop, Chen Guoliang did not return to his own home, but went to the Minister's residence.
"Why did you come here at this time?" Chen Guodong looked at his younger brother and frowned slightly.
"Brother," Chen Guoliang walked in and sat down opposite Chen Guodong, "the attempt in Longxi failed."
"Hehe." Chen Guodong laughed, "With your stinginess and the rabble you've gathered, it's no wonder you're unlikely to succeed."
"Brother, if Fang Yunyi really didn't die, she's just a weak woman who can't even kill a chicken, and she was sold to a place like that. Why would she need someone too powerful?"
Chen Guodong's smile vanished instantly: "You mean..."
"That girl is acting strange."
Chen Guodong frowned: "Then send someone to take a look. Just guessing is useless."
“I’ve already sent someone.” Chen Guoliang nodded. “But brother, it would be best if you could send your secret guards instead. Those people in the martial arts world are unreliable if they only want money.”
Chen Guodong frowned even more. Officials were not allowed to keep secret guards; only the imperial family had the right and ability to do so.
Those below who want to keep secret guards usually do so under the guise of protecting the courtyard. The time and money required to train a secret guard are immeasurable, so unless it is a matter of life and death, they will not easily use secret guards.
Is it really necessary to use secret guards on an abandoned girl like Fang Yunyi?
"Brother, if she truly is a woman destined for heaven, and now she can't marry the Third Prince, what if..."
Chen Guodong glanced at Chen Guoliang and nodded slightly: "Okay, I will send An San over to take a look."
Chen Guoliang finally breathed a sigh of relief. With his elder brother intervening, that girl was definitely doomed. However, he still had a question: "But elder brother, since she has the destiny of a celestial maiden, why not let her marry the Third Prince directly? Wouldn't that be..."
"Why do you think that is?" Chen Guodong glared at his younger brother. "Isn't it all because of that idiot Sun Qingli? She almost killed someone for her daughter!"
Chen Guoliang shrank his neck.
"Now that the Third Prince already has a principal wife and a girl from our Chen family, there's no need for any celestial maidens or phoenix maidens anymore, understand?"
"Understand."
"Also, you should break things off with that Sun Qingli as soon as possible." Chen Guodong's face darkened. "After all, she's the aunt, what if..."
"Don't worry, brother. You know, this is my only hobby. I like other people's wives. Besides, she knows I won't marry her and she won't leave the manor. She just plays around with them in her spare time. After all... Fang Tang is no good."
"you……"
"Don't worry, brother, I know the rules. I won't eat the grass near my nest." Chen Guoliang hurriedly waved his hand to indicate this, then took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve. "Have a cup of tea to calm down." Then he turned and walked out.
Looking at the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, Chen Guodong's anger subsided.
"Big brother." Chen Guoliang, who had just reached the door, suddenly stopped. "Have you taken Chun'er with you yet?"
"what are you up to?"
"Isn't this just so that after my brother has used her, I can have some fun with her? You know, I've been eyeing her for a long time, but she's my sister-in-law's woman, and I don't dare to do it without your permission."
"roll."
"No way," Chen Guoliang chuckled. "The accounts for that batch of goods in the palace will be settled in a few days. It should be 100,000 taels. I'll send it all to you, brother."
What can I say about you?
"Brother, a man should have some hobbies, right? Look at me, I can make money, but I don't love power. I just like that thing in my crotch. I can't deprive myself of it, can I?"
"Someone come here," Chen Guodong called to his trusted aide, "Go and fetch Chun'er."
“You really are my older brother.” Chen Guoliang smiled.
"You're not getting any younger, so take it easy."
"It's because I'm getting old, and every day I play is one less day I have left, so I have to make sure I'm comfortable. But don't worry, I know what I'm doing, after all, I haven't earned enough money yet."
Chen Guodong shook his head, unsure of what to say.
Soon, Chun'er was summoned. She was the granddaughter of Madam Huo's wet nurse and had just turned eighteen this year. A few days ago, she became Chen Guodong's bed warmer.
Chun'er was only considered pretty, but she had a well-developed figure with large breasts, a slim waist, and a pert bottom. Especially after she had just experienced sexual intercourse, she became even more charming, and she walked with a swaying gait.
"Chun'er, the Second Master wants you to serve him for a few days. Are you willing?" Chen Guodong glanced at Chun'er. "If you are willing, he will make you his concubine when we get back."
This was his agreement with the Huo family: he could only do what the Huo family wanted to do if they didn't agree to it, and he couldn't force them to.
But in his view, few of these women disagreed. After all, who would want to be a servant when they had the chance to be a master?
Chun'er paused for a moment, then nodded after a moment's thought.
After his second brother left, Chen Guodong went to the backyard to give instructions to Madam Huo, then returned to his study. After pondering for a moment, he summoned his confidant and sent out a letter.
The letter was sent to the Third Prince's residence.
After reading the letter, Zhou Jingxuan pondered for a long time before issuing the execution order.
