Lu Ni didn't dare to hold Li Yuyan back anymore. She had never seen Li Yuyan like this before, and she was really afraid that Li Yuyan would blurt out everything.
She watched Li Yuyan's retreating figure and narrowed her eyes.
The people, seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, all dispersed.
However, the people had their own speculations about what Li Yuyan had just said about Lu Ni's scheme.
This is the daughter of a second wife; what could she possibly be plotting?
Judging from the current situation of the second wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, she is really not as good as she was in those years!
With the Lin family gone, the second wife no longer has a father who was the prime minister, nor a sister who was a concubine. She will definitely have to keep a low profile in the Duke's mansion.
It is said that when the news of the death of the first wife's son came, the Duke's mansion had already submitted a memorial to the palace to request that the son of the second wife be granted the title of heir apparent, but the emperor did not approve it.
The crown prince, whom she had almost won over, flew away because of the return of the son from her first wife. The second wife must be furious!
So what methods will she use to snatch back the title of heir apparent?
The second wife's daughter is so old and still not married. Does the second wife want to find a more powerful husband for her daughter?
Is the second wife's daughter plotting this?
The son of the first wife was betrothed to Princess Xin Xin. Who in the world has more power? The royal family!
Could it be that this second daughter is planning to marry a prince?
But marrying a prince wouldn't help. Princess Xin Xin and Prince Lu have real achievements to speak of. The only way to make it work would be to marry the Crown Prince and become his consort, but the Crown Prince is still so young.
Thinking about it this way, some people are thinking too far ahead. The emperor is only in his early forties, he can still hold a selection of concubines!
The people were shocked to discover that they knew a tremendous secret.
The Emperor has not held a selection of concubines for many years, but the only path facing the second wife and daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is to get close to the Emperor. Only by getting close to the Emperor can they have any hope.
Look how good life was for the Lin family when Consort Lin entered the palace!
If Lu Ni gets involved with the Emperor, won't the Lin family be back to what they were before? At that time, even Princess Xin Xin will have to give in to her.
Not only does the young master Lu have the Lu family's title, but he has also been granted one himself. Perhaps he will be able to snatch the Lu family's title from him!
The people were getting excited; the gossip surrounding the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was getting more and more interesting!
Everyone is very interested in whether the final outcome will be a victory for the first wife's children or for the second wife and her children.
If it weren't for Lu Zheng's usual fierce appearance and Gu Xin's status, everyone would have wanted to set up a betting game.
Gu Xin knew nothing about these things. If she knew that the people thought this way, she would definitely applaud.
The people of Beijing are really clever; they even thought of this.
She learned it all from Huo Yanyu, yet the common people were able to deduce so many results that were close to the truth based solely on gossip.
sharp!
Because she was delayed at the teahouse, by the time Gu Xin arrived at the business center, Cai Xiaolian had already eaten and was discussing the construction of several places with the foreman.
Gu Xin didn't bother Cai Xiaolian. They had bought a lot of snacks along the way, so they weren't that hungry now.
She took Bai Er and Dong Xue and started wandering around the construction site.
Looking at the blueprints, she didn't realize how big this place was until she saw it in person. She compared the design on the blueprints with the actual site one by one.
