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

Compared to the image in his memory, it was even more fascinating.

A thought involuntarily came to his mind.

If Su Wan wasn't so good at calculating, perhaps it would be Su Rao who would be standing next to him now.

But the reality is that the wealth and status that Su Wan can bring are incomparable to Su Rao.

Assuming that Su Wan is the principal wife and Su Rao is the concubine...

Despite the turmoil in his heart, Shen Jinghong remained calm.

Looking at Su Rao's frightened deer-like appearance, an indescribable feeling of pity arose spontaneously.

Su Wan's behavior was indeed inappropriate. After all, Su Rao was her biological sister, how could she treat her so harshly?

Is it the Su family's education that fosters this kind of sisterhood?

Thinking of how his mother often criticized Su Wan for not being steady and decent enough, the scene at this moment touched him deeply.

If it weren't for Su Wan's background and wealth...

Shen Jinghong couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took a few steps forward, first politely bowed to Su Yi and Su Rao, then turned to Su Wan and said calmly, "Madam, let's go in."

The dissatisfaction on Su Wan's face disappeared instantly, and she put on an awkward smile: "Okay, Jinghong, Chengjun is still waiting for me."

Su Rao looked at the backs of the two people as they left side by side, her eyes full of deep thought.

Chengjun, is it referring to the jewel in the crown of the Huo family, the beloved of Madam Huo and Marquis Huo, Huo Chengjun?

Since Su Wan was able to establish a connection with Huo Chengjun, it is no wonder that she was able to easily get an invitation to the tea party.

Everything seems to be explained.

"Su Wan is so lucky to marry such an outstanding husband."

Su Yi sighed, his words filled with complex emotions.

The corners of Su Rao's mouth rose slightly, and her faint smile was like a flower blooming in spring.

But those eyes seemed to hide an endless abyss, flashing a deep and elusive light: "You can know a person's face, and his heart is as deep as the sea."

After she finished speaking, a barely perceptible sharpness flashed across her eyes.

Su Yi's heart suddenly tightened, as if being suddenly pulled by something invisible, and doubts arose in his mind, Shen Jinghong.

Is this gentle and refined gentleman in the eyes of the outside world really as simple and flawless as he appears to be?

Thinking of this, her gaze involuntarily turned to Su Rao again, but she saw that the weak and helpless look on her face had long disappeared.

Instead, there was a cold and unfamiliar atmosphere, as if the woman in front of him had completely changed her face: "Are you not going to continue acting?"

The coldness in those words was mixed with a hint of playfulness, making it difficult to understand.

Su Rao blinked mischievously, with a childlike playfulness in the corners of her eyes: "With my sister protecting me, if I don't take advantage of this privilege and act like a spoiled child, wouldn't that be a waste of God's gift?"

Her smile is innocent yet has a hint of cunning, which makes people feel pity for her.

Su Yi was amused by this sudden playfulness and laughed at other people's affectation.

She always tried to avoid it, but when she saw her third sister doing this, she found it cute and kind.

"Then let's go in and take a look."

The two sisters walked side by side into the gate of Marquis Huo's mansion. The sunlight filtered through the intricately carved door lintels and shone on them, adding a touch of warmth to the scene.

……

Following the old woman who led the way, they arrived at the tea party in the backyard.

There, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and all kinds of flowers were in full bloom. It happened to be the time when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the trees were full of beauty, like a rosy cloud.

An old lady with a kind face came forward slowly, her tone respectful and gentle: "Princess Yi, Madam Huo invites you to come over to chat about the past alone."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Su Rao and changed the subject, "Mrs. Huo hopes that we can talk in private. Seeing that the young lady is so young and beautiful, perhaps she would be more willing to play and have fun with other young ladies, right?"

Su Yi frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She was worried about leaving Su Rao alone.

And he didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Huo.

"Sister, you go first. I want to wander around by myself."

Su Rao took the initiative to propose, her tone sounding calm and independent, which did not belong to her age.

Under the protection of her sister, she may always be a child.

But deep down, that strong soul who once independently supported the burden of the family felt that this small tea party was nothing special.

Su Yi looked at Su Rao and finally nodded slightly. Although he was reluctant, he still followed the old woman into the depths of the tea party.

The tea party was held at a place full of flowers, and in the midst of this splendor, Su Rao's sight was attracted by a particularly eye-catching girl.

The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a long dress as bright red as a rose in full bloom, extremely beautiful.

She has a pretty face and delicate features as if they were carefully carved by a craftsman.

There was just a barely perceptible hint of sharpness in his eyes, and a hint of natural arrogance between his brows.

This person is none other than Mrs. Huo’s beloved daughter, Huo Chengjun.

Huo Chengjun was surrounded by many guests, and the one who was closest to her was He Lianyun, the daughter of the second prime minister of the cabinet.

The two of them were chatting and laughing, and an invisible halo seemed to form around them, attracting attention.

Su Wan was in this complicated environment, especially when she was close to Huo Chengjun and He Lianyun.

He is extremely humble and always has a gentle and pleasing smile on his face. He seems to fit in, but in fact he is cautious in everything.

Just as Huo Chengjun was having a great time and the arrow in her hand flew out of the string, Su Wan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the arrow joyfully. Behind her attentiveness was a sense of satisfaction that was difficult to conceal.

However, this scene did not last long, as another girl forcefully inserted herself into the room.

Su Wan's job was easily taken away, leaving her isolated and helpless in an instant, and she was pushed to the edge of the crowd.

Just when Su Wan was feeling mixed emotions, she turned around.

He happened to meet Su Rao's smiling yet meaningful gaze.

That look seemed to penetrate all appearances and touch her heart directly.

"Su Rao, are you mocking me? Do you understand how high Huo Chengjun's status will be in the future?"

There was a hint of questioning in Su Wan's voice, and also some hidden resentment.

She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Su Rao and Huo Chengjun had an indissoluble bond.

In the near future, King Qi will be crowned as the crown prince.

As the cousin of King Qi, Huo Chengjun's status naturally rose accordingly.

And Su Rao, relying on her deep relationship with Huo Chengjun, paved the way for Shen Lang to the pinnacle of power.

Not only that, once the King of Qi ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Huo Chengjun will become the imperial concubine who rules the country, and her power and glory will reach its peak.

If you can firmly grasp this "thigh" leading to the core of power, won't your future be bright?

Her husband is the Prime Minister and her confidante is the Imperial Noble Consort. This is simply an impeccable winning combination in life in the eyes of the world.

In her previous life, all the power and glory in this world fell into Su Rao's hands as easily as taking something from a sack.

However, in this reincarnation, she made a solemn vow.
