Wu Wei's scheming angered Fu Qingyao.
From Fu Qingyao's perspective, although she didn't like the aristocratic families, she knew that uniting with one side and suppressing the other would be more beneficial to the people of the three planets.
At this stage, even if Zheng Ya has the ability to create a large number of sixth-level ability users, he doesn't have the financial resources!
Even powerful families desperately need this kind of wealth and resources.
This means that binding oneself to a powerful family is imperative.
This is a reluctant choice based on the premise of long-term, stable, and steady development.
From an emotional standpoint, Fu Qingyao did not want Zheng Ya to marry anyone else, not even Wu Wei.
One heart, one mind, one life, one love.
That was Fu Qingyao's deeply ingrained view of love.
Faced with this situation, Fu Qingyao made concessions, but she didn't expect Wu Wei to be even more vicious. If she couldn't have it, she wouldn't let others have it either.
They even went so far as to destroy Zheng Ya's relationship with the aristocratic families and isolate him. Their scheming was truly vicious!
Fu Qingyao was furious, and Wu Wei cried out, "Mom, what did you just promise me?"
"Haha, fine, I'll hear you speak today. Go on, I'm listening!" Fu Qingyao laughed angrily, suppressing her murderous urges as she sat down and glared at Wu Wei, wanting to tear her apart.
With tears streaming down her face, Wu Wei said, "Mom, please don't get agitated. Let me explain, and you'll see that I have bad intentions, and that I'm doing this for Zheng Ya and everyone else's good..."
"Stop babbling, I don't want to hear your excuses." Fu Qingyao didn't want to listen to her nonsense and was worried that she would lose her temper and tear her apart.
Wu Wei could see that she was holding back her tears, and nodded repeatedly, shaking off a string of tears as she said, "Mom, the relationship between the Ning Prince's faction and the Eagle Prince's faction on the Qian Yuan Continent is one of open and covert struggle."
The cost to both sides, in terms of personnel injuries alone, exceeds 10,000 people every year.
Although the dead and wounded were all peripheral members of aristocratic families, vassals, and cannon fodder.
However, this also proves that they are sworn enemies, locked in a life-or-death struggle.
"So, Mom, are you telling me that if Zheng Ya's marriage to the Ning Prince's faction succeeds, will the Eagle Prince's faction just stand by and do nothing?"
"Hmm, what you said is a real problem. Go on." Hearing this, Fu Qingyao's anger subsided, but she became confused.
This situation is very awkward.
If the relationship isn't broken, a love triangle will form, and no one will offend anyone else, which the powerful families won't want!
Breaking the love triangle means taking sides and starting a war?
Going to war would be extremely disadvantageous for Zheng Ya's side.
If either the Ning King's or the Eagle King's faction were to withdraw directly, leaving behind twelve teleportation portals, they would be in serious trouble.
Let alone whether they might stab you in the back!
Wu Wei saw through the subtle relationship and said while wiping away her tears, "Mom, I'm sure you've also realized that no matter which family Zheng Ya marries into, it will provoke a life-or-death confrontation from the other side."
This situation is not favorable for Zheng Ya.
Therefore, Zheng Ya could only remain neutral, but he could not avoid arranging marriages with powerful families. If he wanted to win over powerful families through marriage and appease another powerful family, the only way was to have his marriage partner, like me, become pregnant with Zheng Ya's child.
In this way, the established families can be stabilized, the families that thrive can be won over, and they can also be allied with all sides, accumulating resources to prepare for the future. Why not do it?
"Hmm, that is indeed a good method. So what role will you play in it?" Fu Qingyao did not lose her mind and let her fool her.
The plan was good, but it had many flaws.
After all, Wu Wei's plan was based on deceiving one aristocratic family, facilitating their eldest daughter's marriage to Zheng Ya and getting pregnant with a fake child, openly targeting one aristocratic family while watching the other aristocratic family make a fool of themselves. This relationship was very delicate and easy to expose, and it would all fall apart at the last minute.
If the plan fails, Zheng Ya will be the one to suffer.
This is tantamount to forcing Zheng Ya to side with another powerful family, returning to the starting point, and the teams will start fighting.
Isn't this ridiculous?
Why go through all that trouble, offend people so much, and end up back where you started?
Seeing that her mother was hating her again, Wu Wei cried and said, "Mom, don't worry."
We can set this up, right?
First, it facilitated a successful marriage alliance between Zheng Ya and the Ning Prince's faction.
However, a scandalous affair involving promiscuity must be fabricated during the marriage process, recorded, and kept secret from the Ning Prince's faction.
"It's all in your hands, Mom. You're showing this to Eagle King and some other people with me, and that's how the scheme created this delicate balance, right?"
"Hmm, that's feasible. You can continue." Fu Qingyao felt that this operation was a bit difficult, but with the help of people from the Eagle King's faction, it might not be impossible.
Wu Wei forced a smile, tears streaming down her face, and said, "Secondly, Mom controls the scandals surrounding her marriage partners, making it easy for her to manipulate them."
After all, if their scandals were exposed, they would be doomed to die without a burial place.
When it came to their turn, they tried everything they could to mend the relationship.
The fact that you kept the scandal video to yourself and didn't hand it over to the Eagle King faction proves that the marriage was a sham in name only. Unless the Eagle King faction is stupid, they will choose to keep quiet and make a fortune.
And Zheng Ya could then play both sides, profit from the situation, and lead the humanity of the three planets through a period of development, right?
"Hmm, that makes sense. Anything else?" Fu Qingyao was starting to believe her; taking a risk was worthwhile.
Wu Wei was relieved: "Third, by acting, we can ensure that this delicate relationship continues, and we can make a fortune in silence."
On the surface, Zheng Ya has a close relationship with the Ning Prince's faction through marriage, which is just for show. However, he also has frequent conflicts with the Eagle Prince's faction.
Therefore, I need to secretly make contacts and facilitate resource transactions.
It would be best to establish that the child in my womb is Zheng Ya's blood relative, thus stabilizing the Eagle King's lineage and undermining Zheng Ya's marriage partners, lest they secretly cause any trouble.
After all, if Zheng Ya can accept me, a concubine's daughter, then if they are pregnant, as long as they work hard, they will eventually win Zheng Ya's trust and have a chance to rise in rank, so they won't act recklessly.
To prevent them from resisting to the death and taking desperate measures to inform Prince Ning's faction, thus ruining our plans, would be a complete failure.
"Hmm, that makes perfect sense. I almost believed it." Fu Qingyao finally understood. After all that calculation, it was still for her own benefit. She really went to great lengths!
Wu Wei cried again: "Mom, I admit that I schemed for everything, but I had no choice!"
Besides, isn't this a win-win strategy?
"Hmph, that's easy to say. This matter involves too many uncertainties. Let me discuss it with Zheng Ya first. I'm leaving now." Fu Qingyao got up and left, not giving her a chance to see her off.
Wu Wei shuddered, her sorrow vanishing as she revealed her alluring beauty, giggling, "Fu Qingyao, Fu Qingyao, you've finally fallen into my grasp. Don't even think about escaping, hehehe."
Fu Qingyao rushed back to Zheng Ya's Sihelou Treasure Space, summoned Zheng Ya and Xu Qi, and sat down in the study to explain Wu Wei's schemes. Before leaving, she added, "I think Wu Wei's intentions are impure and he cannot be trusted."
"Mom, Wu Wei really didn't have good intentions, but I have to say it's the best way. It seems we have no other choice!" Xu Qi said with a bitter smile.
The situation is awkward; no one can be trusted, and no one should be befriended.
Otherwise, the balance will be broken and war will break out!
