Chapter 53 Losing the Chips



Yan Nangui smiled, crumpled the paper, and handed it to her: "Burn it."

The letter contained information about Lord Meng bribing the Second Prince.

One hundred thousand taels of silver.

Haha, isn't this a good thing?

The letter was delivered to her by Shu Chengfeng, informing her that the Meng family had gotten on the Second Prince's good side.

This Master Meng is quite the opportunist; he wants to cultivate good relations with both the Seventh Prince and the Second Prince.

Eating like this will inevitably lead to disaster sooner or later.

"Chanyi, go out of the manor and deliver this message to Yan Jinsi."

"Yes, this servant will go right away," Chanyi said.

"Hmm... let's call Yuanhua, that girl is very useful," Yan Nangui added.

"Yes." Chanyi wasn't upset. After all, there couldn't be only a few people serving Liangyuan.

The Meng family's Xiangsi is truly clever. She knows perfectly well that she must not reveal this matter herself, otherwise how can she explain its origin?

So, she spent two or three days revealing the news to Liu, another concubine of Meng Junxian.

Now that the Li family is being severely suppressed, the Liu family is not doing much better. When she received the news, she didn't bother to verify its authenticity and came to tell Yan Jinsi.

Yan Jinsi frowned upon hearing this; the news was so disturbing that she couldn't sit still.

She packed her things and went back to her parents' home that same day.

The eldest princess frowned upon hearing this: "Does he think the second prince has a chance of winning? It's a pity that the second prince has not been as favored as before in recent years."

“Mother! This is not a simple matter. The Meng family should be on your side. What are they trying to do now?” Yan Jinsi was the most anxious.

She had married into the Meng family after all, and now her in-laws and her mother had made different choices.

You should know that the eldest princess doesn't think much of the second prince.

He should at least be ranked after the seventh and twelfth princes.

"Is this news true?" Yan Jinfei asked.

Although Yan Jinsi didn't want to pay attention to her, she still said, "It can't be fake."

The old lady's family said she could still get married? Anyway, that's what Liu said.

"Don't rush. Tell your mother to send someone to investigate first. If it's true, then we can talk. If it's false, you should go back and beat that concubine to death," Yan Jinfei said.

At this point, this is the only way.

Rong Ning sent people to investigate and found out that the news had already spread.

Although it was a veiled rumor, it still got around, so it can't be faked.

It was only at this point that she suddenly realized that once Yan Nangui and Li began, many things were no longer under her control.

By marrying Yan Jinsi to the Meng family, she missed out on the Seventh Prince...

She also lost a bargaining chip. If she wanted to maintain her honor and life as the eldest princess, she could not rely solely on the Yan family.

She was well aware of this, but Yan Jinsi was already ruined.

Will Yan Jinfei really get what she wants?

At this moment, she had no idea what Yan Nangui had planned, but she could sense the disorder in everything.

I hate even more that the wild geese have flown south.

It was almost Chinese New Year, and when Shu Chengfeng came over, Yan Nangui was cutting paper flowers for the window.

She was just messing around, and the edited result was terribly ugly, but she was having a lot of fun.

Upon seeing him arrive, she smiled and stood up: "Your Highness."

"You have this hobby?" Shu Chengfeng picked it up and looked at it, but... well, he couldn't bring himself to praise it. So he put it down again.

Yan Nangui reached out and scratched Shu Chengfeng's face.

A slightly cool fingertip gently traced the surface: "Just killing time, too bad my skills aren't very good."

Shu Chengfeng smiled, grabbed her hand, and looked at the red marks on her fingers.

That's the red of red paper. Nowadays, paper dyeing technology is not good enough; the pigment is only on the surface.

So, Shu Chengfeng turned her finger back and pressed it against her own forehead, leaving a light red mark that looked quite pretty.

Yan Nangui blinked; this man was so perceptive.

Shu Chengfeng released her hand and was about to take a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Even if he didn't see it, he knew that the woman in front of him had scratched a red mark on his cheek.

However, he underestimated the woman's persistence. She quickly reached out and left a red mark between his eyebrows.

And she blinked, looking at him innocently.

Shu Chengfeng shook his head and had no choice but to take out a handkerchief to wipe it off.

"How come I never knew Tang'er was so naughty?"

“You came too infrequently before,” Yan Nangui said, looking up at him.

The meaning was clear: she wanted him to help her wipe it off.

Shu Chengfeng did as she asked and gently wiped away the red mark. Then he pulled her toward the dressing table.

He picked up her rouge, dabbed a tiny bit with his little finger, and dabbed it again between her eyebrows.

A red dot, like cinnabar, adorned her brow, and it looked very beautiful.

She was wearing a light red dress today, and her hair was simply tied up. However, with this red dot on her face, she had a kind of lazy yet exquisite beauty.

Indeed, beauties can withstand any amount of dressing up; most people probably couldn't pull off that little red dot between their brows.

Yan Nangui didn't want to wipe it off this time, since he liked it.

"Did you like the gift I gave Tang'er a few days ago?" Shu Chengfeng asked, holding Yan Nangui's hand and playing with it.

“I like it. Now, the eldest princess must regret marrying my third sister to the Meng family. I think that after the New Year, when good families from all over the country enter the palace, my second sister will also lose her eligibility. As for the girls of the Yan family, now that they have entered the Crown Prince's residence as concubines, they will have no chance with the royal family.”

"Tang'er is the eldest daughter of the Yan family, so she is naturally noble. I am already lucky to have you," Shu Chengfeng said with a smile.

The amount of embellishment in those words could probably be enough to wash two sets of clothes.

However, Yan Nangui didn't care. She just smiled and said, "As for Fourth Sister, there's no rush. My good stepmother needs to have something to look forward to."

If you can't kill the vicious dog in one go, but instead corner her in a back alley, she might just pounce on you without a second thought.

So we'll keep the younger daughter for her for now.

"Tang'er is really ruthless." Shu Chengfeng said this with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

She must have suffered for many years. If he were to be soft-hearted after her sudden enlightenment, he would be too lazy to bother with her.

"I don't like hearing it from Your Highness. He's clearly not a kind person. How can he be considered ruthless?" Yan Nangui's eyes darted around, and she got up and sat in his lap.

"Your Highness, I am the best. My heart and eyes are only for you. Unlike the Crown Princess, Consort Ye, and Consort Su, who all have so many demands. I am so simple, all I need is your love."

They even help you out by clearing up some things for you. What a great partner!

"Tang'er is naturally excellent..." Shu Chengfeng said, then lowered his head and began to nibble on her neck.

Even after a few days apart, the allure of this young woman was still very attractive to him.

From the very beginning, these two people have never been reserved when it comes to fighting.

So even though it's still dark, if they want to cause trouble, they won't hold back.

By the time they had finally finished enjoying themselves, it was completely dark.

Yan Nangui played with Shu Chengfeng's hair and said, "Your Highness is so energetic wherever you go?"
