Chapter 1 Second Wife 1
The Duke's Mansion,
Guanju Courtyard
In the evening, Luo Xi lay in the courtyard enjoying the cool air.
Zhuzhu walked to Luoxi's side and whispered, "Second Madam, Second Miss sent a message saying that she has come to the capital and wants to stay with you for a few days."
Luo Xi: ? ? ?
She opened her bright, beautiful eyes and stared at the tree branches above her head, lost in thought for a moment.
Accompanying her? I'm afraid his real intentions weren't at the bar.
She tapped the armrest of the recliner a few times with her long, slender, white fingers. "Is the young master coming back?"
Zhuzhu: "Yes, I heard from the Crown Prince's wife that the Crown Prince is on his way back to the manor and will be back in a couple of days."
Luo Xi thought of something and curled her lips into a smile.
Doesn't Luo Ling know that the young masters of the Duke's mansion are not allowed to take concubines at will? If the young master's wife didn't have children, that would be a different story, but a year ago, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
No, Luo Ling definitely knew. She was only interested in the fact that there were fewer people in the prince's harem.
She wanted to use her to get into the Duke's mansion and get close to the heir apparent.
Ha! She's dreaming.
Her father and Luo Ling's father were minor county magistrates, and her mother had passed away long ago.
Five years ago, Luo Ling's aunt persuaded her father to give her to a man over 60 years old as a concubine. Later, she ran away and was rescued by Shen Chi, the second young master of the Duke's mansion, who was passing through Qingcheng County. He fell in love with her at first sight and took her back to his mansion.
Since the Crown Prince Shen Han married the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, Shen Chi's wife could not come from a very high social standing, otherwise, it would arouse the Emperor's suspicion. Therefore, the Duke and Duchess agreed to Shen Chi marrying Luo Xi.
Shen Chi is a junior general. A year ago, he went to the border with General Li. He sends a letter back every now and then.
Luo Xi: "Zhuzhu, she won't give up until she achieves her goal."
If Luo Ling really manages to enter the manor through underhanded means, then her peaceful days will be over.
"I don't want her to disturb my peace and quiet. I hope she never appears in front of me again."
Zhuzhu understood Luo Xi's meaning, "Yes, Second Madam."
The next day,
On his way back to the manor, the prince encountered a woman, a beautiful woman sitting on the ground, weeping with tears streaming down her face.
Luo Ling had met Shen Han once before, so when she saw him, she had her maid stop him and told him her identity.
"Your Highness, I came to the capital to find my sister, but I've sprained my ankle. Could you give me a ride?"
She knew Luo Xi well; Luo Xi disliked her and would most likely not allow her to enter the manor. Therefore, she chose to use her status as Luo Xi's sister to get close to Shen Han and have him bring her into the manor.
Once she entered the Duke's mansion, it would be difficult for Luo Xi to kick her out.
Shen Han: ...........
Luo Xi's sister?
As far as he knew, Luo Xi did not have a good relationship with her half-brothers and half-sisters; in fact, she could be said to dislike them.
If he brings Luo Ling back to the manor, his second sister-in-law will probably be unhappy.
However, this was, after all, his second brother's sister-in-law's younger sister, and it wouldn't be right to leave her and a maid in this desolate wilderness.
Therefore, Shen Han had a guard take Luo Ling to a nearby inn.
In the inn,
Luo Ling's face darkened; she hadn't expected that Shen Han would simply send her to this inn.
Luo Xi must have spoken ill of her to them, otherwise, why wouldn't he have taken her into the Duke's mansion?
She was very unwilling, bit her lip, and clenched her fists.
Just wait, she's determined to move into the Duke's mansion.
She's not bad-looking either; she won't marry someone worse than Luo Xi.
Although the Crown Prince has a Crown Princess, the Crown Princess can be replaced.
Luo Ling didn't know that the position of the Crown Prince's wife was not one that a county magistrate's illegitimate daughter could hold.
night,
In a guest room on the second floor,
Luo Ling was a light sleeper. When she heard a noise from the window, she quickly opened her eyes. "Who is it?"
The next second, someone tightly covered her mouth. That person slit her throat and then stabbed her twice in the chest...
And so, Luo Ling died, and the man jumped out of the window and left.
