The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 911 - 254: Screw Your Tragic Beauty (Part 24)

Legitimate eldest son of Marquis Mansion VS Heir of Prince Mansion?

Absolutely the latter can provide more help to the female lead!

And this time, due to jealousy in her heart, along with some inexplicable reason, Qiu Yuying has become a mortal enemy of Han Dongdong.

If He Keji, oh no, it’s Tian Jue knew, who knows how he’d take revenge on her.

Tian Jue is quite the maniac, that kind of—

Wait a minute, no no.

He Keji has become Tian Jue, he was never sold back then, so Han Dongdong no longer has the favor of saving his life.

Without the cause and effect of saving life, he should not treat Han Dongdong as the last bit of tenderness in his heart as in the original plot, much less sacrifice himself to protect Han Dongdong!

As Qiu Yuying was thinking this over in her mind, Wei Songnian’s voice came to her ears again, "That’s right, Tian Jue is indeed the son born by He Guozhong and his original wife."

Upon mentioning He Guozhong, a man seemingly more unfortunate than himself, the anger in Wei Songnian’s chest seemed to dissipate significantly.

He could even speak of this Eight Trigrams with a sneer, "A few days ago, He Guozhong returned triumphantly to the court!"

"Father Emperor bestowed many rewards upon him, and He Guozhong was in high spirits."

"And then, as soon as he got home, he received two great pieces of good news and two terrible ones!"

Coincidentally, both the joyous and bad news were the same content, but due to a change in identity, it made He Guozhong’s heart feel as if it was on a roller coaster, up and down, utterly thrilling!

First, he learned how capable his wife was, easily settling the extraneous wife and the cheap son in his absence.

Before He Guozhong could celebrate for long, he was informed that his divorced former wife was the now high-ranking Prince of Pingliang, and the son he disowned was the beloved Little Pixiu, the dignified Heir of the Prince of Pingliang!

Although Wei Songnian didn’t quite care for such a poor soil-exposed man as He Guozhong, he couldn’t help but shed a tear of sympathy for him.

The saddest part was that there was already a clear stance on the Saint’s side, supporting a severance between the Prince of Pingliang’s mother and son and He Guozhong.

This meant that as long as He Guozhong still wanted the favor of the Emperor, he could not have any entanglement with the Prince of Pingliang’s mother and son.

Otherwise, not only would he have to break off with Lady Qin and the Marquis Zhenyuan’s Mansion, but he’d also face the danger of losing the Saint’s favor!

He Guozhong is not stupid, he is very adept at sizing up the situation.

After a brief period of painful struggle, annoyance, and regret, upon leaving the Marquis Mansion again, he had already adjusted his mood.

Even when he saw the Prince of Pingliang on the imperial court, or saw Tian Jue following his mother at a banquet, He Guozhong treated them as strangers.

On the surface, He Guozhong was decisive and straightforward, but internally, he was so full of regret and anger that although others could not experience it, they could imagine it.

Thus, whenever Wei Songnian mentioned the Marquis Pingnan, he couldn’t help but laugh.

That unfortunate fellow, haha, thought he married a wife who could help him prosper, but instead, she was a bane who was ruining everything!

These days, Marquis Zhenyuan always felt an inexplicable awkwardness whenever he saw He Guozhong, and the once close relationship between the He and Qin families had become awkward.

Tsk tsk, these old self-proclaimed veteran servants, naturally an alliance of interests, but before the Royal Family could become vigilant, they had inner conflicts themselves.

Wei Songnian wasn’t an ordinary Prince, he always regarded himself as the future Emperor.

As the Crown Prince, he also viewed the entire court as his own.

Although it was still early in the new dynasty, a new class of interests had already formed.

The Royal Family and the noble families were both an alliance of interests and contained contradictions and conflicts.

Wei Songnian particularly coveted the military power in the hands of the old generals.

In the past, he might not have had such great ambition, but now, with Qiu Yuying, such a "foreseeing" Goddess on his side, not only did she give him foreknowledge of many things, but also provided him with several great money-making ideas.

With ample Silver Coin, Wei Songnian could bribe courtiers and build influence.

Meanwhile, his ambition to seek the throne was growing uncontrollably.

Qiu Yuying once fantasized that if Wei Songnian truly wasn’t the destined Crown Prince, in critical moments, she could even persuade Wei Songnian to give up.

As naive as she was, little did she know, throughout history, those who conspired against the throne might have considered giving up, but were swept by the tide of events, and simply couldn’t stop.

Just like Wei Songnian now, at first, it might have been his own ambition, but once on the battle for succession’s chariot, he’d find that when he wanted to back out, it was already impossible!

Wei Songnian himself couldn’t stop, let alone Qiu Yuying, who was just a woman of the inner house, not even the female owner, just a concubine.

The tragic fate was foreshadowed when Qiu Yuying acted as a foreseer, desperately scheming and plotting for Wei Songnian.

In a certain sense, Qiu Yuying did not alter the plot, but rather propelled its development...
