765 Black-hearted Couple (2)
However, Shen Dongling still nudged Wang Bi and said anxiously, “Husband, don’t mention that this is my idea. How can I scheme against my sister for no reason? If not for the fact that I want to help you out today, I won’t have said it. If word gets out, how will people look at me?”
Wang Bi never meant to mention her contributions at all. If Shen Dongling showed eagerness for the credit, he would think that she was too greedy. However, at this moment, Shen Dongling’s rejection made him extremely satisfied. The more he looked at Shen Dongling, the more affectionate he became. He said, “Alright, alright, alright, I won’t say anything. However, this is not a bad thing. When the crown prince ascends the throne, Fifth Miss Shen will be a consort. She will definitely thank you.”
Shen Dongling smiled and said, “I think so too.” However, she knew in her heart that Shen Miao was not a person who coveted power at all. The Shen family had already treated Shen Miao as the apple of their eyes, so wealth was not important to her. In some ways, Shen Miao was like Shen Xin, with a stubbornness in her bones. To others, marrying the crown prince was a good thing. Even if they were unwilling at the first place, they would slowly be tempted by the endless wealth.
“I’m sorry,” Shen Dongling said in her heart. In the entire Shen family, the person she did not want to be enemies with the least was Shen Miao, because Shen Miao was dangerous and had the unconditional support of Shen Xin. However… things were different now.
!!
Now Shen Dongling had the ability to go against Shen Miao. Shen Dongling suddenly remembered that she was actually jealous of Shen Miao. Shen Dongling could trample the rest of the Shen family, including Shen Yue and Shen Qing but not Shen Miao. The family Shen Miao could rely on was also something Shen Dongling would never be able to get.
Once people of low status became powerful, they would abandon their previous cautiousness and humbleness. This was why scholars from poor families became extremely arrogant after becoming a small official.
Because of her former low status, she was constantly afraid that others would look down on her.
Just as Shen Dongling was in a daze, she heard Wang Bi say, “We need to plan carefully. I have to discuss it with the crown prince first.”
Shen Dongling came back to her senses and smiled. “It’ll be good if we can ask Fifth Sister out at that time.” She thought for a moment and said, “I can send an invitation to Fifth Sister.”

“Oh?” Wang Bi asked, “Will she come out?”
It was as if he had long known that Shen Dongling and Shen Miao were not very close. However, in Shen Dongling’s ears, she once again felt like he was mocking her for being an illegitimate daughter and different from Shen Miao. Suppressing the displeasure in her heart, Shen Dongling said, “Husband, you don’t believe me? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely ask Fifth Sister out.”

In the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion, Su Mingfeng was also having a headache. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Yesterday, Princess Rong Xin actually came to the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion. Princess Rong Xin had not gone out for a long time and lived in seclusion. She came out in disguise, and Su Mingfeng almost did not recognize her.
Princess Rong Xin must have something extremely important to do for her to come to the Earl of Pingnan’s mansion. Princess Rong Xin asked the servants to report directly to Su Mingfeng, which meant that her coming had nothing to do with Su Yu. Although Su Mingfeng did not understand, he did not dare to be negligent. He led Princess Rong Xin in, thinking that Princess Rong Xin wanted him to do something.
Unexpectedly, Princess Rong Xin was not here to ask him to do something, but to ask him about something.
