PFC Chapter 345 Climbing the Social Ladder
Chapter 345 Climbing the Social Ladder
"Tell me, should I obey His Majesty's decree and return to the capital to recuperate for a while?"
"Lord Duke, isn't this the result you've always wanted?"
In the military camp, Deputy General Lin looked at Duke Qin with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
The Duke of Qin feigned illness to refuse to lead troops into battle, all so that he could return to the capital and take revenge on Governor Lu.
The court has now agreed to his request, but unexpectedly, the Duke of Qin hesitated.
"Will our deployment here be okay if I go back?"
The imperial court sent Chen Weiyang's daughter, Chen Furong, and another young general, but to be honest, he really looked down on them.
But when the Empress finally granted him permission to return, he hesitated.
Just then, Lin Haide came out.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured! I'll be here to oversee things."
Those two are nothing more than fledglings, their feathers haven't even fully grown yet. You can rest assured and go back to keep the young master company for a while!
Hearing his subordinates' words, the Duke of Qin felt somewhat relieved.
"Alright, then I'll go back for a while. Don't forget what we agreed on before!"
“I know, Your Excellency the Duke!”
According to their original plan, they would wait for Chen Furong and her group to lead a group to fight for a while and be tortured until most of them were dead.
He then requested reinforcements from the imperial court, at which point the court would naturally send the Duke of Qin over!
After arranging everything, the Duke of Qin led his entourage back to the capital the following day.
Wu Weiwei's Jade Deer Manor is thriving.
However, this aroused the envy of many people.
Among them were King Min and his concubine Qin Baihe.
Yes, ever since the emperor questioned Prince Min, Qin Baihe has been taken into Prince Min's palace.
Now, Qin Baihe's status has risen accordingly, and she has become Prince Min's concubine.
As for why someone of her status could become Prince Min's concubine, one can only say that she had some tricks up her sleeve.
Although she deceived Prince Min at the time, saying that she was pregnant with his child, even after he found out that Qin Baihe had lied to him, Prince Min was afraid of being held accountable by the emperor, so the two of them worked overtime to produce the fruit of their love.
Now that Qin Baihe is pregnant and has come to Jade Deer Manor, witnessing Wu Weiwei's resurgence, how could she not be envious?
Even though she was envious, Qin Baihe didn't openly cause trouble like before.
After all, she is now pregnant and is nominally a concubine of Prince Min's mansion, so she naturally has to be more cautious in her actions.
Especially after Consort Chen, the birth mother of Prince Min, was sent to the Cold Palace, Prince Min became much more obedient.
"Your Highness, look, even without Prince Lu's protection, Wu Weiwei's business is still thriving. On the contrary, we..."
Business is getting worse and worse, which is really worrying.
"Why are you in such a hurry? I have my own plans!"
Looking at Wu Weiwei's increasingly charming face, Min Wang was naturally unwilling.
He heard from the servants in the manor that the fat merchant named Hao Tuo was one of her people, and as far as he knew, the Crown Prince valued that fat man highly.
Wu Weiwei's resurgence is all thanks to the support of the Crown Prince.
If the Crown Prince learns of Hao Tuo's identity, we'll see if Wu Weiwei can still maintain her foothold in the capital.
Wu Weiwei was naturally unaware of Min Wang's plans; she was now eagerly anticipating the An Sheng Bao Ji Pill that Sister Chen was about to develop.
The emperor has been unconscious for far too long. If no treatment is given soon, even with the An Sheng Bao Ji Pill, it may be too late to save him.
This is also what Wu Weiwei is worried about.
Treasure House.
"Have you gotten in touch with the people from Jade Deer Manor? What did they say?"
"Mr. Ye, I have already explained our demands to them, but I don't know if Mr. Wu will agree..."
The shopkeeper only saw the masked man tapping the table with his hand.
Everyone says Mr. Ye is handsome, but he has worked with him for more than ten years and has never seen what he really looks like.
"Alright, send someone over to make contact! Try your best to get her to provide us with a batch of the new type of wound medicine!"
The reason the eldest princess sought cooperation with Jubaolou was because she possessed the wound medicine.
He had to meet her demands first. If he could find this enhanced version of the medicine with its extraordinary effects, it would be equivalent to gaining the princess's approval. At that time, his master's plans would probably be much easier to achieve.
"Understood, Mr. Ye."
After the shopkeeper left, Ye Haitang tore off the leather covering on her face, revealing the face of a stunningly beautiful woman.
Hanqing Temple.
"Xiao Yuanzi, are you sure Miss Liu and I have an appointment for this time?"
It's past noon, why hasn't Liu Shuning arrived yet?
This would have been impossible in the past, since Liu Shuning liked him and would always arrive earlier than the agreed time.
“Young master, I’m certain that Miss Liu personally promised yesterday that she would come. Why don’t we wait a little longer…”
Xiao Yuanzi frowned.
Miss Liu wouldn't stand her young master up, would she?
Just as the master and servant were getting impatient, they saw a graceful figure walking towards them from a distance.
Upon seeing Liu Shuning finally appear, Luo Bin's eyes revealed resentment.
However, after Liu Shuning walked over, he quickly concealed the impatience in his eyes.
"Miss Liu, you've finally arrived!"
Upon seeing the man before her, Liu Shuning's originally bright face instantly turned ashen.
"You're Luo Bin?"
It would be a lie to say she wasn't shocked. She never imagined that the person Liu Shuning had so desperately refused the Crown Prince's marriage proposal to, and the person she hanged herself for, was actually Jiang Yang.
She never imagined that her entanglement with Jiang Yang would be so deep.
That's right, the body currently inside Liu Shuning is not the original owner, but He Yuyan who has been resurrected.
Heaven had eyes and allowed her to be reborn into the body of Liu Shuning, the daughter of Grand Tutor Liu.
He Yuyan has been resurrected in another's body.
Although Liu Shuning's appearance is not as good as it used to be, she is still clean.
Moreover, this also freed her from her original status as a sinner and removed her extremely ugly face.
She had been reborn, but she was not used to it at first, so she locked herself in the house every day, afraid that the Liu couple would find out that she had taken their daughter's body.
Only after she had adjusted to the situation a little did He Yuyan dare to leave the room.
Fortunately, given Liu Shuning's suicide, they didn't say anything about her personality change, simply treating it as if she had died once and changed her nature.
Therefore, the Liu couple have not found any difference between her and the original Liu Shuning.
After breaking off her engagement with the Crown Prince, she was surprised to find herself facing another unpleasant situation.
It turns out that the reason Liu Shuning committed suicide was because of Jiang Yang.
No, he has changed his name to Luo Bin now.
Haha, what a damned, ill-fated relationship.
Liu Shuning stared intently at the man in front of her.
What merit or ability does this man possess that he would even try to climb the social ladder by using the original owner's identity to gain access to the Liu family?
So what if she was once married to him?
If he divorced me that day out of fear of death, then the two of us would have no relationship whatsoever.
Don't think she can't see it; Luo Bin actually wants to use Liu Shuning to climb the social ladder and gain wealth and status.
