Before transmigration: she was single, owned a house, had a high-profile career, and was a hilarious gossip chief editor.
After transmigration: she had money in one hand and power in the othe...
"Oh~ Who said our goal was to dethrone Sheng Jicheng? I'm afraid the Third Prince has misunderstood?"
Feng Ming was originally thinking with his head down, and was a little unsure of how to respond, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that the Third Prince's hands, which were hanging on his knees, were clenched into fists, which clearly revealed his inner tension.
Fengming suddenly realized that this person might be trying to trick her!
Now all he knew was that Sheng Jicheng had made a mistake in the military camp, and that the tiger talisman had been taken away from him, but that was not their plan. Furthermore, they had spread rumors about Xing Wu and Sheng Jicheng's relationship, but that didn't mean they were trying to bring him down.
She felt relieved when she thought this way. Her previous worries were completely due to a blind spot in her thinking. She had a preconceived notion that the Third Prince really knew their purpose, but if they didn't know that Xing Wu was killed by Sheng Jichen, they would never understand why they did these things!
So what is there to worry about? Even if the sickly Third Prince in front of him knew that Xingwu was still alive and told others about it, that would be no big deal. Xingwu could then appear openly.
Therefore, Fengming changed his mindset and became very calm and peaceful. He thought that the initiative should be in his own hands.
"Forehead......"
The third prince Changmin was a little speechless. Like Sheng Jicheng, he was harmed by the traditional arrogance of Dongyao men. He also thought that Fengming was the kind of princess who didn't have too many schemes, so he thought that if he proposed it, Fengming would either admit that she had the same purpose as him and agree happily, or she would excitedly tell him her real purpose. But no matter what, this was not the result of asking him a question.
"In that case, I have misunderstood. Your Highness, could you please answer my question? If my cousin is still alive, why doesn't she just reveal her identity and return home, instead of doing these things behind my back?"
Fengming couldn't help but admire the Third Prince. He was really shrewd and he could think of such a way to turn the tables so quickly.
"Oh, Brother Changmin, are you stupid? What will Sheng Jicheng do in a few days?"
Feng Xiyun had been listening to their conversation but had never been able to get a word in. Now that he finally found a topic he could talk about, his little mouth, which had been chattering for a long time, naturally began to spit out words like a machine gun.
"Um, getting married."
"Yes, Sheng Jicheng is clearly Sister Xingwu's fiancé. Sister Xingwu went through so much hardship to escape death and finally recovered her health to come back to find her lover, but now he wants to marry another woman. What do you want her to do?"
Feng Ming and Feng Yuyun couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Feng Xiyun. They really didn't expect that he had the skill to make up stories, and they made them so reasonable that they couldn't be refuted.
The Third Prince was also stunned. He was used to conspiracy theories, so he always felt that Feng Ming and the others must have some big plan for doing so many things in secret. Of course, they did have a big plan, but they just didn't tell him. But now he heard from Feng Xiyun that it was just a romantic reason, and he was a little... disappointed.
"Um, how did my cousin survive? Where has she been these past few years?"
Feng Xiyun didn't expect that the third prince would ask for details, so he didn't have time to make them up yet.
"Hey, it's already this late, why are you saying so much? Actually, although we don't want to bring down Sheng Jicheng, we want to ruin his marriage with that Bai Baozhu, which is almost the same goal, right, sis?"
Feng Yuyun reacted quickly and changed the subject in time to help Feng Xiyun resolve the situation.
Feng Ming happily watched the two of them perform, and naturally cooperated with them at this time, smiling and nodding: "Yes, from this perspective, our perspectives are somewhat similar."
"What about our cooperation?"
Originally he thought there was no hope, but now Fengming said this again, the Third Prince naturally cheered up again.
"Don't worry, Third Prince. Since you've spoken frankly, I won't hide anything. I accidentally saved Sister Xin Wu back then, and she's been recuperating by my side these past few years. You don't know how badly she was injured. It was only six months ago that she was finally able to walk like a normal person. After finally recovering, she wanted to come back, and she was obsessed with Prince Sheng. But Prince Sheng left her so quickly, which really broke Sister Xin Wu's heart. So naturally, we don't want to let that unfaithful man go, and we don't want Sister Xin Wu to watch him get married. So our idea is to prevent them from getting married. Of course, we can make a big fuss about it, so that the conscienceless couple can be embarrassed in front of the world."
After finishing a long speech in one breath, Fengming picked up the teacup to moisten his throat. The Third Prince looked indignant and spoke as soon as Fengming put down the teacup.
"So, our goals are indeed the same. However, I wonder if my cousin still has feelings for Sheng Jicheng. If I really hurt him, will she blame me?"
Fengming looked at him with a smile and shook her head playfully.
The Third Prince suddenly felt dazzled by this smile, and all the schemes in his mind disappeared in an instant, leaving only the playful smile on Fengming's beautiful face.
"Don't worry about this, Third Prince. Sister Xin Wu said that Sheng Jicheng and Bai Baozhu relied on her for everything they have today. She just needs to take it back."
Feng Ming's voice brought the Third Prince back to his senses, and he followed her words to consider their desired outcome. Before meeting Xin Wu, Sheng Jicheng was an unloved nobody with a dark past. While Bai Baozhu had kept her identity well hidden, he had discovered she was merely a prostitute Xin Wu had rescued from a brothel. Since Xin Wu wanted to take back everything he had given her, why not just let them return to the way they were before he met her?
"I understand, then let's..."
"I'll toast you a glass."
Fengming raised the wine glass in her hand. Recently, she liked to drink the low-alcohol sweet fruit wine that was a specialty of Mingcheng. Everything was self-explanatory. The Third Prince was naturally smart and understood that Fengming meant that she agreed to cooperate. The white porcelain wine glasses clinked lightly, and the sound was crisp and pleasant.
They chatted about some details of the cooperation. The Third Prince was really a very likable person. In just one meal, Feng Xiyun and Feng Yuyun had both given him very good reviews. He was humorous, witty, knowledgeable and good at chatting. Even Feng Ming turned off the filter of disgust towards him, and returned to the image of a sickly beauty.
Both the host and the guests were having a great time. Fengming felt that he was extremely lucky today. He was inexplicably provoked into a cooking competition, but in the end, it led to a cooperation. Today was really a good day.
Because of his physical disability and not wanting to be exposed, the Third Prince only saw Fengming and the others to the door of the room. After they left, he stared at the door for a long time, unable to recover from his daze.
The only thing in his mind was Fengming's face and Fengming's smile. He was determined to get this person!
