The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 668 - Will Not Be Swayed by Force or Persuasion



Chapter 668: Will Not Be Swayed by Force or Persuasion

It was a little more complicated on the Dong family’s side.

It was true that the Crown Prince had saved their daughter, but at the same time, he had also found the culprit, who was also from the same family…

Master Dong was bitter.

Ever since the Crown Prince had been the supervisor of the criminal division, the number of cases that the criminal division had accumulated over the years had indeed decreased significantly. It was something that everyone in the imperial court had witnessed.

Although the criminal division was a place that offended people, others could not ignore this merit.

If they wanted to complain about the Crown Prince, they indeed had to think about it carefully.

The ministers in the Fourth Prince’s camp were really worried to the point that they were balding.

Ever since the Crown Prince’s hand was injured, the light that the Crown Prince had on him had been dimmed significantly! In the end, they had spent so much effort over the years and still had not been able to chase him out!

And now, he was actually becoming more and more stable slowly.

“We should think about what to do with Wen Lancheng. This person is talented. How long has he been an official? The Emperor has already praised him four or five times. If this person is completely loyal to the Crown Prince, then the Crown Prince’s influence will really flourish.” Master Meng was extremely dissatisfied.

Or rather, the Crown Prince’s recent momentum was strong.

In the past, there were not many people in the entire imperial court who would stand on the Crown Prince’s side.

However, recently, for some reason, the Crown Prince’s popularity skyrocketed.

The Crown Prince had obviously crippled Prince Ning Bei’s eldest son, but even Prince Ning Bei had spoken up for him. The Li family who had never been involved in the affairs of the world before, had actually been moved recently. Those personal connections and students under him had all started to support the Crown Prince…

There was also Wen Lancheng.

Although he was just an insignificant number one scholar, Wen Lancheng was the most promising one in this year’s imperial examination, and he was also the leader of the lower class. It would have been fine if he was arrogant, but he was warm and likable, and among the scholars… His reputation was especially good!

It was said that he had flattered the Crown Prince many times, causing the Crown Prince to become much more popular in the eyes of the young scholars.

There was also the Xie family.

Master Meng had initially thought that his grandson would definitely win, but he did not expect the tables to turn so quickly.

“Wen Lancheng won’t be swayed by force or persuasion. He did not seem to be having any relationship with the concubine who was sent to him earlier. He said that he wouldn’t dare to have an illegitimate child before marrying a wife.”

The ministers were worried.

With that said, the people of the Meng family were even more angry.

At that moment, the concubine was furious.

Wen Lancheng had two residences. One was bought after the imperial examination, and the other was the imperial scholar residence that the Emperor had bestowed upon him.

Pei Wanyue had long married him, but she was living in the private residence. The location was not great, and Wen Lancheng would only come over occasionally. He would even call her over to talk and ask her some questions.

However, he did not do anything to her at all!

Yet, the person who had come to look for her wanted her to win Wen Lancheng’s heart!

Initially, she had some confidence in herself. She had even been obedient. She had stayed at home to tend to the flowers and learn how to embroider, changing Wen Lancheng’s impression of her. However, after these few days, her heart had really turned cold!

She had been behaving for so long, yet Wen Lancheng did not even spare her a glance!

“Aunt Yue, Master is here. He wants you to go over to serve him,” the maidservant said by her ear again.

Again!

Serve him? He really wanted her to serve him?!

Pei Wanyue was filled with anger and tried her best to suppress it.

Previously, in order to seduce Wen Lancheng, she had worn plain clothes. Now that she kept failing, she changed into a fiery red and somewhat thin set of clothes and walked over after thinking about it.

Her steps were enchanting and she tried her best to be seductive. When she saw Wen Lancheng, her voice was soft. “Darling….”

Wen Lancheng stepped back. “You are a concubine. Don’t overstep your boundaries.”

No matter how young he was, as a concubine, she should still address him as master.

Pei Wanyue’s warmth was instantly dismissed.
