The sisters couldn't afford to offend Lin Xiafeng, who had Prince Duan and Prince Wuling as his backers, so they vented their hatred on Lin Manyin. Who told her to have a face that looked exactly like Lin Xiafeng!
Lin Manyin was originally a coward who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak, so how could she dare to resist?
In the past, she had Lin Xiafeng to bully, but now even her elder sister has to suffer from Lin Xiafeng's bullying, and she doesn't even want to carry Lin Xiafeng's shoes.
Whenever she went out or met someone, they would talk about Lin Xiafeng endlessly in her ears.
This situation reminded her of the fear of being bullied by her elder sister as a substitute for Lin Xiafeng at home. So she is now hiding at home and has not gone out for a long time.
When Lin Xiafeng heard what Prince Duan said, he immediately shook his head, "No, don't you know who my fifth sister is? She is not worthy of Prince Wu Ling."
"So what? I just wanted someone to cause trouble for Qin Qingyao, didn't I? Those two people together are not worthy of Dugu Yu's toe!"
"We're all brothers, and I'm doing this for his own good. When he wakes up, he'll thank us!"
Lin Xiafeng sighed softly and snuggled into Prince Duan's arms, "I really hope that Brother Dugu can meet a good woman who is worthy of him, and that they can truly love each other and grow old together."
Prince Duan reached out and gently pinched the tip of Lin Xiafeng's nose, "Then we're almost growing old together!"
Lin Xiafeng glared at Prince Duan with shame and anger, and was hugged tightly by him.
"Speaking of which, if I want to help Brother Dugu see Qin Qingyao's true face as soon as possible, I do have a suitable candidate."
"who?"
"Yuan Yi laughs!"
"who is she?"
"Qin Qingyao seems particularly wary of the daughter of Yuan Jinghe, head of the Ministry of War. Last time, outside Yingfeng Manor..."
Lin Xiafeng indignantly described Qin Qingyao as a female bully who took advantage of her power to bully others. Of course, she did not exaggerate much. She just stated the problems she saw from her perspective.
In her heart, Qin Qingyao was exactly the ugly face she described.
This was enough to shock Prince Duan and make him feel that Qin Qingyao was a jealous and vicious woman.
He even likes a woman like this, how much does Dugu Yu need women?!
…
Qin Qingyao is extremely happy now. Dugu Yu knows how to keep a low profile and hide his edge. When he has nothing to do after court, he stays at home to handle official business and accompany his wife, or takes Qin Qingyao out shopping, inspects the property, or goes to romantic places to read posts.
With Qin Qingyao's company, Dugu Yu hadn't been alone with Ling Jingxuan and Lin Xiafeng, that couple, for a long time.
The two of them lived their lives happily, unaware that the couple was maliciously plotting to make Dugu Yu change his ways.
The reason why Dugu Yu married Qin Qingyao was because Ling Jingxuan was attracted by her father, the Minister of Personnel, and her brothers, all of whom were outstanding people.
And she is the precious daughter of the Qin family. If they keep her under their control, even if they cannot win over the Qin family, they can still control them and make them behave themselves and not cause trouble.
But Ling Jingxuan wanted to remain a virgin for Lin Xiafeng, so she would not marry anyone else. That's why Lin Xiafeng went to find Dugu Yu.
Because Dugu Yu is their good friend, he will definitely help them and will not betray them. Even if he marries a woman from the Qin family, Dugu Yu's heart will be with Lin Xiafeng and Prince Duan!
But unexpectedly, more than two months after Dugu Yu got married, things went completely wrong.
Every day, seeing Dugu Yu being so humble and kind in front of the Qin family father and son during the morning court, that atmosphere of "we are a family, no one else can interfere" is really eye-catching!
He had thought at first that it would be best if Dugu Yu could establish a good relationship with the Qin family, but it wasn't this kind of relationship. This was completely putting the cart before the horse!
He now seems to be relying solely on the Qin family's orders and is about to be pulled into the prince's camp!
I have to say that Ling Jingxuan is also very shameless.
He got married, was filial to his father-in-law, was kind to his brother-in-law, and the family was happy. How could he have put the cart before the horse?
Why did Dugu Yu have to be kind to him, let Lin Xiafeng have whatever he wanted, risk his life for the two of them, use cold violence against Qin Qingyao, and kill the entire Qin family without blinking an eye? Is this his duty?
What kind of logic is this?
Why can't Dugu Yu live happily for himself? Why can he only follow your wishes and be your pawn?
Lin Xiafeng is no longer the same person she used to be. After being personally invited by the emperor to the Harvest Festival banquet, no one even mentioned her status as a concubine's daughter.
In the past, those legitimate daughters who were unwilling to associate with her because of their different social status would now greet her with a smile when they saw her.
They were slapped in the face one by one, and there was a loud slapping sound!
However, no matter how good her reputation is or how much face others give her, she has no right to interfere with King Wu Ling's concubine affairs.
When she asked him to marry Qin Qingyao, it could be said that it was to help Ling Jingxuan, but she couldn't bring herself to say the word of taking a concubine.
Dugu Yu has now been poisoned by Qin Qingyao and is bewitched by her. Wherever she goes, weapons and armor follow, and their love display fills the entire imperial city!
So, she decided to go home and have a good talk with her father.
She said to Prime Minister Lin with a look of sorrow, embarrassment, and hardship, "Dad, have you considered Fifth Sister's marriage?"
"Your fifth sister? Why, do you have a choice?"
I have to say, this person is really like a fool. When Lin Manyin bullied Lin Xiafeng to death, she certainly never thought that one day, her own marriage would be manipulated by Lin Xiafeng.
"actually……"
Lin Xiafeng was really embarrassed, but he still told Prime Minister Lin what he meant.
She said that she felt that King Wuling's attitude towards her seemed a little beyond ordinary friendship, but she was unable to respond. So, in order to repay King Wuling for his care for her in the past, she asked Prime Minister Lin to marry Lin Manyin to King Wuling.
Lin Manyin looks the most like her, which can be considered a comfort and compensation for King Wu Ling.
Lin Manyin is arrogant, domineering, a bully, rude, petty, and likes to abuse her servants. Apart from her good looks, she has nothing else to offer!
Prime Minister Lin himself would feel ashamed to marry off a daughter like this.
But she does look a lot like Lin Xiafeng. If King Wu Ling only cares about her appearance, then this would be a godsend for Lin Manyin and the Prime Minister's Mansion!
"Are you sure King Wu Ling would be interested in her?"
"This...daughter doesn't know either. I hope that after tomorrow's morning court session, father can find out what the prince has to say. If they can meet, that would be even better."
"But, father, please don't tell me it was my idea. The prince is such a proud man, I'm afraid he'll see me in the future..."
"Don't worry, I understand this principle, and I will see to it!"
"Yes, thank you very much, father!"
There was no force or pretense in Lin Xiafeng's conversation with Prime Minister Lin; her feelings were all genuine!
From the very beginning, she knew that Prince Wu Ling's feelings towards her were not just a bunch of crap friendship! She had always known that Dugu Yu liked her, and she still believed it!
It was because of this that Qin Qingyao felt that she was hypocritical and hated her to the extreme!
If she hadn't felt that Dugu Yu was about to be snatched away by Qin Qingyao, and if Dugu Yu still hung around her all day, she wouldn't have suddenly "seen clearly" that King Wu Ling had improper thoughts about her.
I wouldn't want to give him a substitute to express my gratitude for his previous help and to account for their great friendship!
Her current thought is that if her fifth sister marries him, they will remain friends as before.
This is what Lin Xiafeng is thinking now. She also thinks this is good for Dugu Yu and for everyone.
It's so shameless.
As shameless as her, there is also Ling Jingxuan.
He and Lin Xiafeng acted separately, but he was not idle either.
The head of the Ministry of War was only a minor official of the sixth rank, and his daughter was totally unworthy of the entrance to Prince Wuling's Palace.
However, Prince Duan sent someone to tell him that Yuan Yixiao had her clothes torn by Prince Wuling, so he went to the Minister of War and knelt down to ask for help.
So the Minister of War condemned King Wu Ling's reckless behavior and asked him to take responsibility!
Dugu Yu recalled the scene in the woods when Qin Qingyao threatened the group of people with a sword to shut up. He still felt warm in his heart when he thought about it.
But now the princess is not here and there is no one to protect him, so he can only rely on himself.
The emperor was furious. "Prince Wu Ling, is what the Minister of War said true?"
Prince Wu Ling stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister is talking nonsense. I don't know a single word of what he said!"
King Wu Ling was calm and composed, and his words were so confident that Minister Qin and Qin Yuefeng looked better.
The Minister of War was very angry, "Prince Wu Ling, you are a man of great stature, don't be so timid as to be unaware of your responsibilities!"
Dugu Yu: "May I ask Minister Yu, you got their top performer pregnant at Zuifanglou last month. Has this matter been resolved?"
Zuifanglou, the largest brothel in Yulin City.
Minister Yu was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Prince Wu Ling, you are slandering me! I have absolutely never been to Zuifang Tower. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Dugu Yu smiled faintly: "I have absolutely never seen any Miss Yuan in the woods. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Yu Shangshu: “…”
This way of speaking nonsense, giving tit for tat, and taking an unconventional approach was something Dugu Yu learned from Qin Qingyao. He hasn't even learned 10% of her crooked logic yet.
But it's almost enough.
The emperor immediately understood what King Wu Ling meant.
He was so angry that he slammed the dragon table and said, "Yu An, who is spreading rumors and slandering King Wu Ling? Tell me the truth!"
Minister Yu sank to his knees, trembling. "Your Majesty, this matter was told to me personally by Yuan Jinghe, the head of the Ministry of War!"
"Come here, call the head of the Ministry of War, Yuan Jinghe!"
Yu Shangshu stole glances at Dugu Yu countless times and found that he was extremely calm and not afraid at all. He looked like a man who had nothing to fear when he was upright.
He himself was sweating profusely from nervousness. Damn it, he should have not gotten involved in this mess!
