Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 297 Cao Qinmo's Suggestion

Cao Qinmo spoke slowly, "Girl Lin has only been in the palace for a short time, has no foundation, and was born a palace maid. It's hard to say what her family background is like. The only advantage she has is the prince's favor, but it's unclear how long this favor will last."

Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows, "You mean to say that Lin is nothing to be afraid of, and she will calm down on her own without my intervention?"

If Cao Qinmo really meant this, then he was just making a fool of Nian Shilan. From Qi Yuebin, Nian Shilan learned a lesson: it is better to strike first before doing anything. Without the full suppression at the beginning, it would be difficult for Nian Shilan to bully Feng Ruozhao at will.

Cao Qinmo replied hastily, "My sister is just saying, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? If it was really the concubine who did it, how could Lin Gege have a chance to jump? It's just that now, the concubine is concerned about the prince's feelings, which makes Lin feel proud."

This touched the heart of Nian Shilan. If she hadn't been afraid of the prince's anger, she would have ordered someone to deal with Lin long ago. Why would she give her a chance to be reinstated?

Cao Qinmo continued, "I am not worried about Lin's competition for favor. There are so many short-lived women in the backyard. Not everyone is lucky enough to be as favored as the concubine."

Nian Shilan was very comfortable with this flattery. She was confident that she had occupied most of the Fourth Prince's mind. "But when I think of Lin being able to see the prince every month, I feel uncomfortable."

Cao Qinmo smiled and said, "How difficult is that? Sister Fei is much more beautiful than Ling Gege. As long as Sister Fei is willing to share the worries of the concubine, Ling Gege will naturally not be so proud."

Fei Yunyan didn't expect that she could be useful, but facing Nian Shilan's sharp gaze, she didn't dare to refute, so she could only bite the bullet and promise, "I am willing to share the worries of the concubine."

Nian Shilan got a positive answer and said with satisfaction, "If you want to serve the prince well, you can't do it without nice clothes. Go to the storehouse and pick out a few suitable ones to take away later."

After receiving the reward from Nian Shilan, Fei Yunyan was not so reluctant anymore. Who doesn’t like beautiful clothes?

Cao Qinmo spoke up to draw Nian Shilan's attention back, "I am not worried about Ling Gege sleeping with me, but I am worried about another thing!"

Up to now, Nian Shilan had not seen the effect of Cao Qinmo, so she motioned for her to continue.

Cao Qinmo pretended to be sad and sighed, "Girl Lin is young, and the prince is also in his prime. With so many favors, it is inevitable that... (she will get pregnant!)"

Fei Yunyan realized what Cao Qinmo meant and looked at Nian Shilan in horror. The child was Nian Shilan's greatest pain and no one dared to mention it. She didn't expect Cao Qinmo to be so bold.

Nian Shilan stared at Cao Qinmo expressionlessly and said gloomily, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Cao Qinmo said earnestly, "I know that the child is a hidden pain in Concubine Concubine's heart, but I have to say it. Just look at Concubine Li and Concubine Lu, you will know that the prince is somewhat tolerant of those who give birth to heirs. Lin is restless, if she really gets pregnant, it will be bad for Concubine Concubine!"

After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Fei Yunyan couldn't help but touch her belly. Although she couldn't be favored as many times as Nian Shilan, she was still one of the most favored women. Why was there no movement?

The question that Nian Shilan had been avoiding was finally put in front of Cao Qinmo. Although Nian Shilan had recovered well after being nursed back in Jiang Cheng, she was worried that the chance of having a baby would never come. The old people in the mansion who could have had children had already done so, and those who couldn't have had children even if they tried their best. But the new people were really different. Everything was possible for the young.

Cao Qinmo asked tentatively, "Instead of waiting for Ling Gege to get pregnant, why not strike first?"

Nian Shilan struggled, and after a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice, "You can harm people, but not children. Cutting off the offspring is too vicious. You don't need to mention it again."

These words made Cao Qinmo secretly relieved. She didn't expect that Nian Shilan still had a trace of conscience towards the child. At least she wouldn't have to worry about Nian Shilan taking action if she got pregnant in the future.

Nian Shilan regained her composure and looked at Cao Qinmo with some displeasure, "Your so-called idea is just such a trick? You don't need to come here again."

Seeing Songzhi was about to chase her away, Cao Qinmo quickly said, "I misunderstood Concubine's intentions. Please give me another chance."

Nian Shilan frowned, "Then tell me."

Cao Qinmo took a deep breath, "Don't you think it's strange that Linggege has regained favor this time? Yesterday, the prince's people surrounded Linyuan, and outsiders have no way of knowing what means Linggege used."

Without Nian Shilan's urging, Cao Qinmo continued, "If it can really be brought out in the open, Ling Gege really doesn't need to cover it up like this. Since she tried her best to conceal it, it means there must be something that cannot be said. As long as we can find out, we can control Ling Gege.

Even if it wasn't that serious, Ling Gege didn't dare to show it in front of others, which clearly showed that she cared deeply about it. Even if it wasn't a fatal blow, it was enough to make Ling Gege afraid to see anyone. "

Cao Qinmo had never even met Lin Zhuoyin, but she had analyzed Lin Zhuoyin's personality through what others had said. Lin Zhuoyin was overly sensitive about her singing. If Nian Shilan really brought it up, Lin Zhuoyin would probably shrink in Youyang Residence and not come out.

Nian Shilan was so angry that she didn't even think about asking for information. After being reminded by Cao Qinmo, she realized that she had made a mistake. "The people around the prince are tight-lipped. I'm afraid it's not easy to find out."

Cao Qinmo suggested, "The prince's surroundings are sensitive, how can we let Concubine Nian take risks? Why not start with Ling Gege? I have also heard in the courtyard that the girl named Lily beside Ling Gege is very undisciplined!"

Cao Qinmo said it bluntly, and even Fei Yunyan realized, "It is a taboo to keep a rebellious maid by your side."

Songzhi told the information she knew, "I heard that after Lily injured her hand, Ling Gege took pity on her and stopped her from serving her closely. But Lily didn't appreciate it and kept complaining, as if she had a problem with Ling Gege's arrangement!"

Nian Shilan curled her lips slightly, "After all, she served me personally, so I think Lily should have some way to know Ling Gege's secrets."

Several people in the room laughed at the same time, but they didn't know whether Lin Zhuoyin could bear such concern.

After this battle, Cao Qinmo also caught Nian Shilan's eye. She really needed someone like Cao Qinmo who was calm and could give advice to assist her. As for those who needed to be won over, Nian Shilan was never stingy. "Girl Cao, go pick out some fabrics and make some clothes for her. Who knows, the prince might come one day!"
