The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

"Your Majesty..."

Shen Qingwan's eyes were filled with hope. Could it be that His Majesty agreed to let the Crown Prince cancel the engagement and marry her as the Crown Princess instead?

If this is true, why hasn't an imperial decree been issued yet?

Besides, Shen Tangan shouldn't have been the one to inform her about this matter. Her intuition told her that it was not a good thing.

Shen Tangan found it inexplicably funny to see her expression change from gloomy to sunny and then back to gloomy.

Seeing that she was staring at him, he decided not to tease her anymore and coughed lightly.

"His Majesty said that since the Crown Prince likes you so much, he would consider letting us two sisters marry together and marry you as his concubine."

"what!"

Shen Qingwan cried out in shock, unable to hide her indignation, and the expression she looked at her instantly turned gloomy.

What about sisters marrying together? That's ridiculous!

Why is she a concubine and Shen Tangan is the Crown Princess?

Do I have to suppress her for the rest of my life?

No!

Absolutely not!

"My lady, is this what His Majesty meant?"

When Zheng heard this, her expression changed, but she was much calmer than Shen Qingwan.

Even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to speak easily, after all, the words came from the palace.

"His Majesty said he needs to consider it and has not yet confirmed it. But I think this is a great idea. You and I, sisters, will marry together and we can support each other in the future. I will be the Crown Princess and you will be the Concubine. We will serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince together. Isn't this a good story?"

Shen Tangan had a smile on his face, looking indescribably gentle and dignified.

When he looked at Shen Qingwan, he deliberately emphasized the three words "Crown Princess". Seeing that her face was gloomy, he became even happier.

Correct!

It's this expression of wanting to kill her that's so interesting!

Only by pushing her can she do something unexpected.

"Then there is still a chance."

Zheng muttered something, and Shen Tangan heard it clearly, but pretended not to hear it and asked.

"Hmm? What did Auntie say?"

"Nothing! It's getting late, miss. Please go back! I'm under house arrest by the Marquis, so I'm sorry I can't see you off."

She smiled and shook her head, eager to chase the guests away.

"It's getting late, I should go back."

Shen Tangan smiled, nodded to them, pretended to know nothing, and left with his people.

As soon as he walked out of the house, the door was closed behind him impatiently.

Yunzhu supported her, rolled her eyes at the closed door, and spoke in an indignant tone.

"It's really unruly."

"They are anxious to find a solution! Let's just let them go."

Shen Tangan smiled faintly and didn't take the matter to heart at all.

I'm afraid Zheng and Shen Qingwan will be extremely worried. How can they be willing to be suppressed by me for the rest of their lives?

Given Shen Tangan's status, being able to become the prince's concubine was already a special favor.

But these two people don't think so, and they are too ambitious and think they can deserve someone better.

Since she thinks the position of Crown Princess is good, let her try it.

"Let's rest early, we have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Shen Tangan raised a smile and casually instructed Yunzhu.

…………

"Mom! I don't want to be the Crown Prince's concubine, I want to be the Crown Princess!"

As soon as the door closed, Shen Qingwan couldn't control her roar.

"Why can she be the Crown Princess but I can't? Am I going to be suppressed by her for the rest of my life!?"

Whenever he thought about having to bow down to Shen Tangan for the rest of his life, he felt that life would be worse than death.

"Don't shout, aren't you afraid that others will hear you?"

Zheng was pacing back and forth in the room, thinking of a countermeasure, but her head started to hurt from her screaming.

She murmured in a low voice, "She said that His Majesty is still considering it, and there is still room for recovery."

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at her with burning eyes.

"Wan'er, do you want to be the Crown Princess?"

"Mom, are you confused? Of course I want to! I don't want to be trampled under the feet of that bitch for the rest of my life. As long as I can become the Crown Princess, I'm willing to pay any price!"

Shen Qingwan clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand. She would rather die than have to look at her face for the rest of her life.

From a concubine's daughter to the second daughter of a marquis's mansion, she has had enough of these years!

Everything Shen Tangan has should have been hers!

She is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. Although she is half a year older than her, she has to call her sister every day.

"Wan'er, go see the prince now and tell him your grievances."

Zheng took a quick step forward, held her hand and spoke excitedly.

"This isn't the first time you've had a secret meeting with the Crown Prince. As long as you get pregnant with the Crown Prince before the imperial decree to make you a concubine comes down, then the position of Crown Princess will be yours! Are you still afraid that Shen Tangan will take your place?"

"Mom, this...is this okay?"

Shen Qingwan's eyes were filled with shock, and she subconsciously lowered her voice.

If this matter were to be exposed, not only would his reputation be ruined, but even the crown prince would be implicated.

As for the Marquis's Mansion and my father, needless to say, His Majesty will not let them go.

"Of course it's possible! Don't you want to be a princess?"

Zheng stared at her closely, with unspeakable madness burning in her eyes, which made Shen Qingwan feel a little timid.

"Mother, if the truth comes out, what will the Marquisate do? My daughter will be implicated."

"Do you want to be the Crown Princess? Do you still have the time to worry about the Marquis' Mansion? Didn't you just see how your father treated us? He wanted to put us, mother and daughter, under house arrest!

He is ruthless and ungrateful, so why should we care about him? As long as you can get what you want, the means are not important, useless reputation is nothing, no matter if it is glorious or not, when you become the Crown Princess, those who look down on you will still have to kneel before you to pay homage? When you become the Queen, if anyone dares to say one more word, you can just chop off his entire family!"

The more Zheng spoke, the crazier he became, and in the end all his ambitions were revealed on his face.

As long as her daughter becomes the queen, she will be conferred the title of a first-rank lady. At that time, those who once looked down on her will have to kneel before her and kowtow to her.

Even the Lin family is the same!

"Mom, you're right! Now that my daughter is the Crown Princess, no one dares to touch her!"

The timidity in Shen Qingwan's heart was slowly devoured by her ambition.

She wants to be the Crown Princess and the Queen!

After making up her mind, she immediately changed her clothes and left the house through the small door as if she was familiar with the way.

This was not the first time that Shen Qingwan had a secret meeting with the prince at night. Although she had never done anything inappropriate before, today was different. She came with a purpose.

She was wearing a pink gauze dress that showed off her graceful figure to the fullest. She even brought her own liquor and drank a glass before meeting the prince.

Not long after Shen Qingwan left the house, Shen Tangan received the news.

Everything is under her control, and it looks like good things are about to happen to the prince.

Zheng has been managing the inner house for many years and has some tricks up her sleeve. Even the gatekeepers in the back house have been placed by her as her own people. I think it was all for this day.

However, she doesn't have many capable people around her, just a bunch of minions, but even so, they are still difficult to deal with.

Seeing how ruthlessly my father treated Zheng's mother and daughter today, I guess he was annoyed and crying.

I need to find a strong and gentle woman and send her to my father to help him ease his distress.

This is what a sensible daughter should do!
