The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 232 Wan Linlang comes again

When we returned to Chunshan Courtyard, Taotao was still sleeping, drooling all over the place, and it was unbearable to look at him.

Xie Run thought about it, asked someone to grind ink, and picked up the brush to start painting.

Dan Tao asked curiously, "Why is the master in such a good mood so early in the morning?"

Xie Run sneered: "Draw his silly face when he's sleeping, and then tell him how this kid tortured his mother!"

Xie Run decided to manually record Xiao Cong's dark history.

If her son dares to be unfilial in the future, she will take this pile of black history and list them one by one!

Dan Tao laughed: "Master is such an adult, yet he still argues with the young master."

Xie Run was silent for a while before he said, "Just make a fuss!"

The painting was only halfway done when someone suddenly announced, "Master, Concubine Wan wants to see you."

Xie Run held the pen steady in his hand, pausing only briefly before looking up and asking, "Who do you say wants to see you?"

"Wan Shiqie."

Xie Run chuckled and said, "The prince is not in my courtyard this time. Why did she come to see me?"

"Concubine Wan said she has something to say to you, my master."

Xie Run thought that the nanny brought back by King Jing had already taken the Sixth Young Master to the front yard to be raised, and she knew clearly the purpose of Wan Linlang coming to her yard.

Wan Linlang is very scheming and patient, and Xie Run cannot guarantee that he will not be bewitched by her and do something stupid.

She simply refused from the beginning and didn't give Wan Linlang the chance to contact her.

She waved her hand and said, "Tell her I'm feeling a little unwell and I won't be seeing her anymore."

Xie Run added another reminder, "Even if she wants to keep something, you should refuse it for me."

"Yes."

Dan Tao was grinding ink for Xie Run by the side, holding up her sleeve. After the messenger left, she asked curiously, "Master, Concubine Wan came to you now to ask you to intercede for her and let her support the Sixth Young Master?"

Xie Run lowered his eyes and stared at the pen in his hand, writing carefully and meticulously, "You underestimate her a bit."

"I have no relationship with her, why should I plead for her? She's not stupid, she wouldn't be so foolish as to come to someone's house and beg for help."

"Then Concubine Wan is here to see you..."

Xie Run smiled and said, "If you want to ask someone to do something, you must at least have the leverage to make them willing to do it."

"She's probably realized her predicament now and wants to cooperate with me, or perhaps even cling to me..." Xie Run smiled. "Of course, after all, it's all about getting me to help her support the Sixth Young Master."

"Cooperate with you, my master?" Dan Tao thought it was a bit outrageous: "Concubine Wan is just a concubine, not even favored by the prince. Where does she get the confidence to think she can cooperate with you?!"

Xie Run stood up straight and looked at Dan Tao seriously: "You're right, she really has this ability."

Dan Tao was slightly stunned.

Xie Run held the pen in his hand and said seriously, "I just knew she had this ability, and I was afraid that I would be persuaded by her and fall into her trap, so I didn't meet her."

Xie Run is rational.

But no one in this world can guarantee 100% that they will not be misled by others.

As long as the benefits are big enough, even the most rational person will be bewitched.

Rather than worrying about regrets later, Xie Run decided to eliminate any possibility of making mistakes from the beginning!

If Wan Linlang wants to cooperate with her, she must come up with something that attracts her.

Her own medical skills are a sharp sword, and the other thing she is afraid of is the news that the princess is pregnant and will have difficulty giving birth smoothly.

After all, only Wan Linlang and Fang Yuaner knew this news.

Now that the princess has no son, one of the other illegitimate sons will hopefully become the crown prince of King Jing sooner or later.

Fang Yuaner and Xie Run were both concubines in the mansion, and each had a son.

But now Xie Run is in favor and his son is healthy, so it seems that the chances of success are good, but it is just an appearance. Who knows what changes may happen in the future?

Once the news of the princess's pregnancy gets out, no matter whether they have a son or not, they will probably feel uneasy.

If Wan Linlang told Xie Run at this time that although the princess was pregnant, she would definitely not be able to give birth to the child, how could any normal person not be moved?

If Wan Linlang could come up with more ideas and help Xie Run get rid of Fang Yuaner, wouldn't the position of Crown Prince fall firmly on Xie Run's son?

Xie Run already knew the script, so this news was not that tempting to her.

But Wan Linlang didn’t know that she also knew where the future was headed!

After much deliberation, Xie Run chose to hide and save his life.

If she is really involved in the turmoil of fighting for the position of Crown Prince and makes a big mistake, King Jing will never have the slightest pity on her!

To go a step further, he is only the crown prince now. If King Jing becomes the emperor one day, won’t he be fighting for another position?

If Wan Linlang said she could help Xie Run, would Xie Run be tempted?!

If you fall in love, that would be bad.

Dan Tao said softly, "Master, since Concubine Wan has this idea in mind, I'm afraid she won't give up for a while and will come again in the next few days."

"Then never see her again! If she has the guts, she'll make a scene and let everyone in the house know about it."

Xie Run was determined to stay low and not give himself any chance to be deceived.

Wan Linlang was frustrated and remained very calm.

When leaving, Suiyu glanced back at Chunshanyuan with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Although the prince didn't let Concubine Xie live in Lanxiang Courtyard, Chunshan Courtyard was expanded to include Qingzhu Pavilion, where Concubine Li lived. I'm afraid the size of the courtyard has surpassed that of Songya Courtyard, where Concubine Fang lives."

"The prince really dotes on Concubine Xie."

Wan Linlang's eyes were calm. When she heard this, she chuckled softly, like a ripple on the water, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"That's quite true."

"The prince has favored many people, but she is the only one who has remained unfazed by praise or criticism, rising from concubine to concubine..." Wan Linlang: "I'm afraid even Fang Yuan'er is regretting underestimating her now, right?"

Wan Linlang was reborn, and at the beginning he only focused on Fang Yuaner, wanting to fight with his old enemy Fang Yuaner again in his life.

But just because I came back one step late, everything changed.

At first, she didn't take Xie Run, who should have been dead but was still alive, seriously.

After all, apart from Fang Yuaner, no one can stop her from reaching the highest position, not even the princess.

But as the days passed and Wan Linlang was struggling in the backyard of the palace, she suddenly came to her senses.

She shouldn't just stare at Fang Yuaner!

While she and Fang Yuaner were fighting to the death, Xie Runtao kept a low profile and gradually climbed to the position of concubine.

Looking back suddenly, he has become a very difficult opponent.

"Last time, I deliberately chose to visit when the prince was staying in her courtyard. Firstly, I wanted to ask the prince to let me support the Sixth Young Master, and secondly... I wanted to explore the true character of our Concubine Xie."
