After seeing Champion Hou Li Hong leave, Wu Hanchun could no longer suppress his dissatisfaction and immediately complained to Wu Tian.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. She was naturally beautiful and thought she was even more beautiful than Tantai Qiuyue. Why should she only be a concubine?
"Alas, who can we blame? It's all because Marquis Li Hong, the champion, is completely in love with Tantai Qiuyue, and not you."
City Lord Wu Tian raised his head slightly, a hint of helplessness and sigh in his eyes, and said slowly.
Having navigated the officialdom for many years, he was as shrewd as a fox, a true old fox. How could he not understand that if the Marquis of Champion could become his son-in-law, the Wu family would be like riding on a soaring dragon, destined to rise to great heights.
However, life is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to fathom. No matter how much he plans and schemes, in the end, things are not as he wishes, and he cannot get what he wants.
"What's so great about Tantai Qiuyue? She's not even as pretty as me! Why is she the top beauty on the Tianyuan County list, receiving everyone's admiration, while I can only be second best? This is so unfair!"
Upon hearing her father's words, Wu Hanchun immediately became furious, her eyebrows furrowing and her almond eyes widening. She angrily exclaimed, "I think this woman must know some underhanded seductive arts, which is why she has bewitched all those men and made them all like her."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth and said it as if she wanted to devour Tantai Qiuyue alive.
In her heart, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and Tantai Qiuyue was nothing but a name without substance.
"Han Chun, you are a smart woman. Now that you have the opportunity to get so close to the Marquis, do you expect me to teach you how to do things step by step? This is not the time to be angry, but to take the initiative and you will have a chance."
City Lord Wu Tian frowned slightly as he looked at his daughter's angry expression, then changed to a serious tone and spoke.
He gently patted Wu Hanchun's shoulder, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and encouragement. "As long as you can win over the Marquis's heart and make him devoted to you, then the title of Marquis's wife, or even the position of Princess, will be as easy as taking candy from a baby, easily within your grasp."
"Father, you...you mean, as long as I do everything I can to make the Marquis of Champion fall in love with me, I will get everything I want?"
Upon hearing her father's words, Wu Hanchun's eyes lit up instantly, as if she immediately understood his intention. A look of surprise and confusion crossed her face as she eagerly asked.
"Um."
Wu Tian looked at his daughter's expectant eyes and nodded.
"Father, don't worry! Tonight I will definitely win over the Marquis and make him unable to resist me."
Wu Hanchun's face flushed with excitement, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of greed and ambition.
As she spoke, she eagerly removed the veil from her face, revealing a face that was originally beautiful and lovely, yet also tinged with worry.
She frowned slightly and asked nervously, "Father, please take a look, is the injury on my face healed?"
She knew in her heart that if her face was still swollen like a pig's head, no matter how much she flirted and tried to please him, the Marquis of Champion would probably not be in the mood to enjoy her, let alone become infatuated with her.
She has that much self-awareness.
"Your face is completely healed, just as beautiful as before. Now, go and take a good bath, then go and serve the Marquis. Whether the Wu family prospers depends entirely on your performance."
Wu Tian carefully examined his daughter's face, and after confirming that there was not a single flaw, he nodded in satisfaction and then said solemnly.
Soon, Wu Hanchun moved gracefully to the bathroom to take a bath.
In the steamy bathroom, she carefully washed every inch of her skin, as if trying to wash away all the dust and worries.
She carefully selected the most expensive spices and applied them to her body, allowing herself to exude a captivating fragrance.
After her bath, she changed into a light and transparent gauze dress, which subtly revealed her graceful figure.
Then, with a mix of nervousness and excitement, she walked slowly towards the Marquis of Champion's room with light steps.
"My lord, I've arrived."
Wu Hanchun moved gracefully, like a butterfly in flight, and came to the side of Champion Hou.
Her voice was soft and melodious, like the song of a nightingale, with a touch of shyness and charm.
"Han Chun, you smell so good, the fragrance is intoxicating."
Champion Hou Li Hong was sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes slightly closed, seemingly deep in thought. Upon hearing Wu Hanchun's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of amazement and desire in them. He then grabbed Wu Hanchun's soft waist and embraced her.
