Chapter 765 Black-Hearted Couple (2)
Although she knew it in her heart, Shen Dongling still pushed Wang Bi and said anxiously, "My husband, please don't mention that this was my idea. How can I plot against my own sister for no reason? If it weren't for helping my husband solve his problems today, why would I do this? If this gets out, how can I live my life in the future?"
Wang Bi had only said it casually. If Shen Dongling had agreed, he would have thought she was too greedy for credit. However, Shen Dongling's panicked refusal at this moment made him feel extremely satisfied. The more he looked at Shen Dongling, the cuter she became, and the more fortunate he was that Shen Dongling and Shen Yue had swapped marriages. He said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. But this isn't a bad thing. Marry the Crown Prince, and when he ascends the throne, Miss Shen Wu will be the Imperial Concubine, and she will always be grateful to you in the future. This is a blessing you can't ask for."
Shen Dongling smiled and said, "I think so too." But she knew in her heart that Shen Miao was not someone who coveted power. The Shen family already regarded Shen Miao as the apple of their eye, so wealth and honor were of no importance to her. In some ways, Shen Miao, like Shen Xin, carried a kind of stubborn stubbornness in her bones. For others, marrying the crown prince was a good thing. Even if they were unwilling at first, they would be satisfied after tasting the sweetness of it.
But Shen Miao was different. If she took a wrong step, she could kill herself. Even if she didn't show anything on the surface, she would definitely still feel bad inside.
I'm sorry, Shen Dongling said in her heart. In the entire Shen Chen Mansion, the person she least wanted to be an enemy with was Shen Miao, because Shen Miao was also very dangerous, and behind her was the unconditional support of the Shen Xin couple. But... now is different from the past.
Now that Shen Dongling had the qualifications to oppose Shen Miao, she suddenly remembered that she was actually jealous of Shen Miao. Shen Dongling could trample on the other people in the Shen Mansion, including the second and third wives, Shen Yue and Shen Qing, but she could not surpass Shen Miao. The family that Shen Miao relied on was precisely what Shen Dongling could never get.
Once people of low status gain power, they abandon their former cautiousness and humility, which only makes them seem even more distorted. This is why scholars from poor families become extremely arrogant when they pass the imperial examination and obtain a minor official position.
Because of the status quo in his bones, he was always afraid that others would see his past shortcomings.
Shen Dongling was distracted when she heard Wang Bi say, "We need to make some careful plans at this time. I have to discuss this with the Crown Prince first."
Shen Dongling came back to her senses and said with a smile: "It would be better to invite the fifth sister out with us at that time." She thought for a moment and said: "I can send a message to the fifth sister."
"Oh?" Wang Bi asked, "Will he come out?"
It seemed as if she had long known that the relationship between Shen Dongling and Shen Miao was not very warm, but to Shen Dongling, it sounded like a mockery of the difference between her and Shen Miao, as if they were legitimate and illegitimate children. Suppressing her displeasure, Shen Dongling said, "Husband, do you not believe me? Don't worry, I will personally call out the fifth sister."
…
At the Pingnan Marquis's residence, Su Mingfeng was also in a headache at this moment.
Princess Rongxin unexpectedly came to the Pingnan Marquis's residence yesterday. Princess Rongxin hadn't been out for a long time, staying at home, so no one noticed her. She was in disguise, so Su Mingfeng almost didn't recognize her.
Princess Rongxin had condescended to come to the Pingnan Marquis's residence, so she must have something extremely important to tell her. She had her servants inform Su Mingfeng directly, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with Su Yu and that she had come specifically for him. Although Su Mingfeng was puzzled, he didn't dare to neglect her and welcomed Princess Rongxin in, assuming she wanted to tell him something.
Who knew that Princess Rongxin was not here to give orders, but to inquire about information.
