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

Su Rao spoke in a calm tone, neither hurried nor slow.

Zhang forced a smile and instructed the storeroom, "That's right, prepare some decent things for the Third Miss so that she can go out in style."

The warehouse then took out five taels of silver and handed it to Su Rao.

Su Rao refused to take over: "Little girl, what can Qu Wuliang do? It's not even enough to buy a decent set of clothes."

"Then give the third young lady another ten taels." Zhang said gritting her teeth.

"Girl, we still have to spend money on headwear and jewelry." There was a hint of provocation in Su Rao's smile.

Zhang looked slightly angry: "How much do you want?"

"Five hundred taels is about right." Su Rao said the number casually.

Zhang's eyes widened and she angrily shouted, "You girl, are you crazy?"

"If my mother is unwilling to pay the money, I would bring shame to the Duke's Mansion if I entered the palace in this state. It would be better to let Sister Wan'er do it for me." Su Rao said.

"Mother, give it to her!" Su Wan's voice suddenly sounded from behind, sounding a little hurried, "I don't want to enter any palace!"

She wished that Su Rao could enter the palace as soon as possible so that she could endure the pain she had experienced and no longer hinder the good things between her and Shen Jinghong.

Although Zhang was extremely reluctant, Su Wan broke into the storehouse on her own and took out five hundred taels of silver and gave it to Su Rao.

Su Rao held the heavy banknote in her hand, feeling very satisfied. She looked up and happened to meet Zhang's resentful gaze.

"Little girl, if you dare to take it out on my mother, if she is harmed in the slightest, I will assassinate the prince in the palace and drag the entire Duke's Mansion to be buried with me!"

Zhang's face was filled with horror. She had never expected that this usually gentle concubine could be so vicious and ruthless.

"My dear little girl, if you treat my mother well, I will remember your kindness when I am favored by the prince."

Su Rao smiled slightly, bowed to Zhang, and then turned and left. Su Wan followed closely behind.

"Su Rao, stop dreaming. Do you think the prince will really make an exception for you? Don't you know how many beauties the queen has sent him? Who do you think you are?" Su Wan said sarcastically with a bit of complacency.

"Since my elder sister specifically asked me to go, she must have noticed that I am different from others. As for my younger sister Wan'er, my father had intended to marry me to Shen Jinghong. I have heard that his mother is extremely harsh and he has an affair with a prostitute..."

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!" Su Wan retorted harshly.

"Shen Jinghong is a man of great literary talent and noble character. He would never do such a thing. Just wait and see. Next year he will be the top scorer in the imperial examination. In a few years, he will become the Prime Minister, and I will become his wife!"

"Don't be too one-sided when judging people. Listen to your mother and think about it carefully." Su Rao continued to persuade him kindly.

"You want to stop me from becoming a royal consort? I will soon become Shen Lang's wife!"

Su Wan pushed Su Rao hard, then turned and left.

Su Rao looked at her figure and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Su Wan is deeply in love with Shen Jinghong, and she will not believe anything she says.

Although Zhang was a concubine, she was ambitious and believed that her daughter was no less capable than the daughter of the principal wife.

Even if she is not destined to marry into a royal palace, she should marry a noble family rather than a poor scholar with a bleak future.

You will definitely not agree.

Su Rao's provocation would surely make Su Wan extremely anxious, and she might even do something extreme to force Zhang to agree.

In this way, Su Wan and Shen Jinghong's marriage became more stable.

Sure enough, in the following days, Su Wan threatened to go on a hunger strike.

Although Zhang firmly disagreed, Su Wan went directly to find Shen Jinghong, making the situation irreversible!

Mr. Su had no choice but to hastily choose a date for Su Wan and Shen Jinghong to get married.

The wedding day of Su Wan and Shen Jinghong happened to be the day when Su Rao entered the palace.

The front yard was bustling with activity, but the backyard seemed particularly deserted.

Su Rao divided the silver she got from Zhang into two parts, and used one part to buy clothes and jewelry.

I kept part of it for personal use and the other part for my mother.

The mother and daughter said goodbye reluctantly. Su Rao instructed the maid Xia Xiang to take good care of her mother, and then turned and walked towards the backyard.

A sedan chair sent by the royal palace was parked there, waiting quietly.

Su Rao stepped onto the bridal sedan, which swayed as it headed towards an unknown palace.

When we arrived at the palace, we still entered through the back door.

The palace is much larger than the Su family, with twists and turns, and is unfathomable...

Su Rao glanced outside secretly and felt that the palace was truly magnificent, yet also exuded a dull and boring atmosphere.

It took a while before we reached the yard.

A woman said in a flat voice, "Come with me to meet the princess."

Su Rao recognized her. Her surname was Rong. She used to be a favorite of the eldest wife. She was cruel and ruthless, and everyone in the mansion avoided her.

Su Rao got off the sedan chair and followed Mother Feng into the depths.

After crossing the yard and pushing open two doors, I entered the territory of the inner chambers.

Su Rao saw the graceful and elegant woman at first sight.

Princess Yi is also the eldest daughter of their Duke's Mansion and her elder sister.

Actually, Su Yi had no chance of getting married.

The queen introduced many beauties to the prince, some plump and some thin, some ladies from famous families, and some women as delicate as willows.

But the prince refused to be tempted and even became more determined to become a monk.

The queen was anxious and had to invite a highly reputable Taoist priest to tell her fortune.

The hexagram shows that only those whose horoscopes match those of the prince can enter, and the only person in the world whose horoscopes are the same as those of the prince is Su Yi.

This great happy event fell on Su Yi.

Everyone is envious.

Mr. Su was even more pleased.

But is this really a good thing for Su Yi?

Su Rao has been confined in the yard since she was a child. She cannot go out to study like Su Wan. She has very few opportunities to spend time with Su Yi, and they are strangers to each other.

In her memory, her eldest sister was a typical daughter of a wealthy family. She was a man of few words and had an air of nobility that was unattainable.

When we meet again now, he looks more majestic.

"Big..." Su Rao swallowed the words that came to her lips and changed her words to "Princess."

"Kneel down." Su Yi's voice was as cold as ice.

Su Rao had no choice but to kneel down.

"This is the palace, the rules cannot be abolished, the princess says the rules, you have to kneel as long as I tell you to. If you don't obey, there are other punishments waiting for you."

Mother Feng was scolding from the side, swinging the whip in her hand. The meaning was clear: if she disobeyed, the whip would be used.

Is this to establish authority?

After entering the palace, the sisterhood no longer exists. She is the main wife and I am the concubine?

She is the master and I am the servant?

My destiny is in her hands?

Can it be easily trampled upon?

Time was like a blunt knife cutting flesh, Su Rao gritted her teeth and held on.

After an unknown amount of time, she knelt until her limbs were shaking and sweat was pouring down her face.

Su Yi, on the other hand, was sipping his tea leisurely.

At this moment, a guard rushed in.

"Princess, what do you want me to do?"

The guard's eyes inadvertently swept over Su Rao, and he paused involuntarily and swallowed.
