Hongxiu agreed with Jiang Xinrou's statement: "Miss is right, Lin Xiuyan isn't even worthy to carry your shoes!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xinrou felt a little relieved. She asked Hongxiu, "Have you done everything I asked you to do before?"
Hongxiu nodded: "Don't worry, Miss, I did everything you said."
“I’ve taken care of all the key people inside, and with the city lord’s help, this matter is a piece of cake.”
“If Lin Xiuyan were obedient, she could still be the city lord’s principal wife. But in her current situation, she can only be the city lord’s concubine.”
Jiang Xinrou liked hearing this. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Lin Xiuyan is so vulgar, she only deserves to be a concubine!"
As she said this, a smile appeared in her eyes: "Once we arrive at the city lord's mansion, I will be the city lord's wife, and she will be a lowly concubine."
"Just thinking about this makes me happy!"
Although she was confined to her room and unable to go out, she had previously bribed many people in the Lin family, so her life wasn't too difficult.
But for her, this was an utter disgrace.
She had completely forgotten that she had failed in her scheme against Lin Xiuyan and ended up getting herself into the trap instead.
She didn't remember that the Lin family had raised her and given her everything; she only remembered that Lin Yunzhi had confined her to her quarters and that Qu Shuangyue had scolded her.
All of this fueled her ambition; she felt that everything in the Lin family was hers, and she would become the most noble person!
She said softly, "Only three days left. In three days, I will become the city lord's wife."
Hongxiu bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Lady City Lord."
Jiang Xinrou chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, once I become the city lord's wife, you will be my most favored maid."
"Your status will rise accordingly in the future. In Chongqing, few people will dare to give you a hard time."
Hongxiu laughed, and Jiang Xinrou added, "Keep a close eye on this these next few days. There's no room for error in this matter!"
Hongxiu nodded: "Miss, please rest assured, everything is ready."
Jiang Xinrou knew that Hongxiu was a fairly reliable person.
After being confined to her quarters, she became unable to move around easily and had to leave many things to Hongxiu to do.
If she successfully marries Zhou Chenyang this time, her status will rise accordingly because of him, and there is no room for error in this matter.
Jiang Xinrou was both looking forward to the wedding date and afraid that it might not come to pass, so she was feeling particularly uneasy these past few days.
Meanwhile, Wu Dao had already led his men to count the number of iron blocks.
When he saw the iron block in the room, all he could do was scream, "My goodness!"
However, he remembered that he was now the heir apparent to the Prince of Pingnan, and he had to be more composed, so he swallowed those words.
With so much iron, the number of weapons that can be forged is considerable.
He had a vague feeling that with these iron pieces, his heir would have much more confidence.
But he soon began to worry again: how to transport so much iron?
And where to put it after it's transported away is also a problem.
He saw Ye Junfei standing on the other end of the iron block, and he immediately told the officers beside him, "You all go and guard outside the door."
The constables responded and left as instructed.
Seeing that there was no one else inside, Wu Dao immediately walked up to Ye Junfei in a very obsequious manner and said, "Master, what brings you here?"
Ye Junfei glanced at him indifferently: "If I didn't come, could you handle all this?"
Wu Dao immediately shook his head frantically: "No."
Ye Junfei couldn't bear to look at his stupid appearance and simply said, "Don't transport these things yourself. Have Zhou Chenyang send someone to deliver them to the Prince of Pingnan's residence."
"As for the delivery time..."
His gaze narrowed slightly: "Let's choose the day he marries Jiang Xinrou."
Wu Dao was somewhat puzzled: "He's marrying Jiang Xinrou the day after tomorrow, will he agree to it?"
"Just do as I say, you don't need to worry about anything else," Ye Junfei said calmly.
Although Wu Dao felt that Zhou Chenyang was unlikely to agree, he knew that Ye Junfei must have a reason for saying so, so he immediately agreed.
Ye Junfei gave a few more instructions on the precautions for transporting the iron blocks, and Wu Dao listened attentively.
After he finished speaking, Wu Dao asked, "Young Master, after we move these iron blocks away, shall we leave Yu City?"
Ye Junfei glanced at him and asked, "Who said these iron blocks can be transported? Who said I was leaving Yucheng?"
Wu Dao was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't you ask Zhou Chenyang to send people to transport the iron blocks away? Isn't the reason we came to Chongqing for these iron blocks?"
What he didn't say was, "If they've already taken the iron, what's the point of leaving it in Chongqing?"
Could it be that his young master has really been staying in the Lin mansion all this time, being cruelly forced to give birth by a dissolute young lady?
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes were as deep as the sea. He said in a calm voice, "These iron blocks will remain in Yucheng."
"The iron blocks are all in Chongqing, why should I leave?"
Wu Dao was completely dumbfounded. What was his young master planning to do now?
He couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, what exactly did that spoiled brat do to you? What made you so unprincipled?"
Wu Ge, standing behind Ye Junfei, rolled his eyes so hard they were practically pointing to the sky. What kind of questions was this idiot asking?
Ye Junfei glanced at Wu Dao indifferently and called out, "Wu Ge."
Wu Ge understood and walked over to Wu Dao, throwing a punch at him.
This punch wouldn't leave any marks on Wu Dao's body, but it would cause him extreme pain.
Wu Dao's face was contorted in pain, and he slumped to the ground, curling up in a ball.
Ye Junfei ignored them and walked away.
Wu Ge had already received his instructions and didn't follow. He just looked at Wu Dao and said, "You're really asking for a beating. What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of the young master?"
"You don't actually think that just because you've been pretending to be the prince for a few days, you can figure out what the prince is thinking?"
Wu Dao has been putting himself in Ye Junfei's shoes every day lately, and he really thinks he can figure out Ye Junfei's thoughts.
Wu Ge's punch brought him back to some of his rationality. His young master was always unpredictable, and no one knew what he would do next.
Wu Dao had calmed down a bit by now, and he tugged at Wu Ge's sleeve, gossiping, "Is the young master still sleeping in the same bed with that spoiled brat every day lately?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ge felt that he hadn't punched him hard enough. This guy was just arrogant and reckless, only interested in finding his goods!
Wu Ge said calmly, "Why don't you go and suggest to the young master that Miss Lin is not good enough for him, and that he should stop sleeping with Miss Lin?"
Wu Dao first seriously considered the feasibility of this matter, and then, seeing Wu Ge's mocking face, he knew that he had misunderstood again.
He said softly, "The young master never allows women to get close to him. Do you see anything special about this Miss Lin?"
Wu Ge replied, "I can't tell if she has anything special about her, as long as the young master can see it."
Wu Dao: "...That's true."
