Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Chapter 137 Proposing marriage at home

"Today's incident is closely related to the two of them. Prince Yi's Mansion may become the target of public criticism in the future. If you take the initiative to get closer, it will only bring us endless trouble." Fang Mo spoke frankly, his words revealing a keen insight into the situation.

With the departure of Prince Yi, the sky over Prince Yi's Mansion seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, and the days were no longer peaceful.

Fang Yuan was filled with guilt. She looked at Su Yi apologetically, tears in her eyes.

Su Yi shook her head gently, her smile warm and tolerant: "It's okay, I will come to you when the situation improves."

Su Yi and Su Rao slowly left Fang Mansion and started their journey home, each with their own thoughts in their minds.

"Rao'er, do you have any news?" Su Yi lowered his voice, his eyes full of concern.

Su Rao's words were concise, but each word was of great significance: "Master Mingkong is seriously injured and unconscious, and as for the prince, his whereabouts are unknown."

"His whereabouts are unknown..." Su Yi couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this, feeling mixed emotions.

"Good people are blessed by God. Your Majesty will surely be able to turn danger into safety." Su Rao said in a firm tone, and this belief also slightly calmed Su Yi's uneasy heart.

After returning to the palace, Su Yi stayed for a while and then stepped into the palace again.

The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and as a princess, she needs to assist the Queen in preparing for the celebration, which is a heavy responsibility.

Su Rao was left alone in the empty palace, with a thousand thoughts in her mind. Unconsciously, her footsteps led her to the Buddhist temple in the palace.

The faint and rhythmic sound of the wooden fish floated into Su Rao's ears, and an inexplicable expectation and joy surged in her heart. She quickened her pace and walked towards the Buddhist hall.

"Your Highness!" She couldn't help but call out, secretly hoping in her heart that behind the door, someone was devoutly knocking on the wooden fish. That cold and deep face was the person she was concerned about.

However, when she pushed open the door, the Buddhist temple was empty, with only cold air and loneliness.

Su Rao slowly walked to the cushion where Prince Yi usually sat in meditation and knelt on the ground.

She looked up at the Buddha statue, the image of compassion and tolerance. Although she did not believe in ghosts and gods, at this moment, she prayed sincerely, wishing the gods and Buddhas to protect her and let the prince return safely.

The next morning.

In her spare time, Su Rao decided to go to the pawnshop she once opened to check it out.

Today, this place is run by Chenyu and an old shopkeeper, making considerable profits every month and bringing Su Rao considerable income.

Opposite, the place that was originally a pawnshop has been transformed into a bustling rouge shop, which was Su Wan's dowry.

When Su Rao arrived, Su Wan and Chun Cha were checking the store operations. The store was crowded with people and Su Wan's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

"Those customers were all hired by Chuncha." Chenyu whispered to Su Rao, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Su Rao suddenly realized that Chuncha was like a lurking poisonous snake. She had saved Chuncha in her previous life, but was betrayed.

However, Su Wan regarded him as her confidant, which was really unwise.

When the pawnshop was not doing well, Su Wan must have been dissatisfied with Chuncha.

Now that it has been transformed into a rouge shop, Chuncha's move is obviously to whitewash the situation in front of Su Wan and create a false prosperity.

"It will only be so lively here when Su Wan is here." Su Rao said softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Chenyu nodded silently and added: "Su Wan is very good at spring tea. The shops on the whole street are managed by her."

Su Rao laughed secretly in her heart. In her opinion, Su Wan's simplicity and blind trust were too naive.

After regaining her life, Su Wan was still foolish enough to entrust the future of her family to a scheming villain. By the time she realized what was happening, it would be too late...

At this moment, Su Wan raised her eyes slightly and noticed that Su Rao was approaching slowly, with an unprecedented arrogance and publicity in her posture.

"Oh, who isn't this? He looks so familiar. It turns out it's my sister who's here to visit." Su Wan pretended to be surprised, with sarcasm and jealousy mixed in her words.

Not long ago, Su Rao was in great glory. Not only was she favored by Prince Yi, but she was also promoted to concubine. This made Su Wan almost crazy with jealousy.

All this is completely different from the previous life. Could it be that just because their marriages were swapped, this series of changes was triggered?

At that time, Su Wan was filled with resentment. Every time she went to the temple to burn incense, she would curse Su Rao to meet with misfortune.

Coincidentally, as if God really heard her complaints, Su Rao's fate really took a sharp turn for the worse.

In a rage, Prince Yi traveled around the world, leaving Su Rao alone in the empty room.

Without the support of Prince Yi, Su Rao's position was in jeopardy.

As the imperial examination was approaching and Yin Taochen's whereabouts were unknown, Su Wan thought to herself that as long as her husband could win the first place in the imperial examination, she would also become the noble wife of the first place winner.

Thinking of this, Su Wan became more and more convinced that her choice was correct, and the look she gave Su Rao was full of disdain and contempt.

"It's a really harsh day today, you have to be careful, sister. After all, you rely on this face to make a living. If Prince Yi really never comes back, your pretty face might be able to help you find a guard to relieve your boredom, so that you won't be too lonely as a widow." Su Wan's words were bitter and harsh.

Facing Su Wan's provocation, Su Rao was calm and took a step back: "The prince is just tired of the hustle and bustle of the capital and wants to travel around. I have deep feelings for the prince and will never do anything that goes against the virtues of a woman. But you, my sister, are so scheming. Have you already been unable to suppress the loneliness in your heart?"

Su Wan's face was slightly distorted under the shadow of the hat.

The painful experiences of her previous life lingered on her, and that was the hidden pain in her heart that she was most reluctant to touch.

Now, Gu Lang's indifferent attitude was like a cold wind and drizzle, silent but enough to make her heart feel cold.

Despite this, her reason told her that Gu Lang's indifference was so that he could prepare for the upcoming exam wholeheartedly. How could she let her emotions become a stumbling block to his success?

"You misunderstood. Gu Lang treated me very well."

Su Wan hastily defended herself, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "Su Rao, don't be too happy too soon. One day, I will prove to you that I am no worse than you!"

After saying that, Su Wan turned around and left resolutely, and Chuncha followed her carefully.

Only Su Rao knew the tenacity and perseverance hidden beneath Su Wan's weak appearance.

She knew very well that if she didn't make use of such a person, he would become a major obstacle to her progress in the future.

After a brief stay in the store, Su Rao heard another piece of news.

"Have you heard? Shangshu Wang's family proposed marriage to the Fang family!"

Shangshu Wang, as the elder brother of Madam Huo and Concubine Wang, holds important power in the Ministry of War and is a sophisticated and unfathomable politician.

Unfortunately, he had a son who was not very capable, but was still loved by Mrs. Wang.

Not long after his first wife passed away, Mrs. Wang was anxious to find a new wife for her son. Everyone in and outside the capital knew that her son had behaved badly.
