My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Soon, Wan Zilang successfully reached the table.

Wan Rongyue saw that although he had admitted his mistake on the surface, he guessed that he must be unwilling to give up in his heart. So at the end of the meal, he warned Wan Zilang:

"I know you're not convinced, but I have to remind you that Aning and I are like sisters, and she saved me. If you dare to have any ideas about her again, don't blame me for being disrespectful and killing my own relatives for the sake of justice!"

After Wan Zilang heard this, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground with a "pa" sound.

He widened his eyes and looked at his sister in disbelief.

"Like sisters? No, sister, what is her status? How dare a convicted girl from the cold palace be qualified to be your sister?

If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't it damage your dignity as a concubine?"

Conspiracy, this must be Qiu Ning's conspiracy.

Relying on the support of the imperial concubine, he doesn't even take me, the number one playboy in the capital, seriously, and even dares to plot against him. If this gets out, how will he survive in the capital in the future?

Wan Rongyue looked at him and knew what he was thinking, so she mocked him:

"If it weren't for Aning, I, your sister, would have been murdered in the cold palace long ago. How could you live the carefree life you do today?"

Wan Zilang immediately stopped talking and turned to look at his father.

Wan Changfu also felt his old face suddenly turn red.

Thinking back to when Wan Rongyue got into trouble, he didn't even ask for help in order to protect himself and fear that he would be implicated. He even took the initiative to draw a clear line between himself and Wan Rongyue.

And during the year she was in the cold palace, no one visited her.

Thinking of this, Wan Changfu pretended to cough twice, and then made excuses for himself: "Don't blame your father for being cruel. When you were in trouble, it was sudden, and the emperor's attitude was so resolute. In order to protect our family, I had no choice but to pretend to distance myself from you.

Now that you have been restored to the Emperor's favor, your father is also very happy. However, you are alone in the palace facing plots, and I am afraid that two fists cannot fight against four hands. If there is anything you can do for your father, please speak up."

A few days ago, Wan Rongyue had someone send him a letter, asking him to secretly collect relevant information about Guo Xiangguo's party. He then guessed that his daughter might do something big.

This time, he could take advantage of her absence from the palace to express his position and attitude. If successful, he would be promoted to a higher position, or even be made a marquis or a prime minister.

If that doesn't work out, considering how much His Majesty loves his daughter, he won't let himself lose his life.

Seeing his father taking the initiative to set up the ladder, Wan Rongyue put Wan Zilang's affairs aside for the time being and took the initiative to say:

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, Father. The Queen and the others have been plotting against me in recent days. If things go as expected, Prime Minister Guo's residence will also make some moves. If Father can seize the opportunity, find something to hold against Prime Minister Guo and the others, and then unite with some ministers who hold different political views from Prime Minister Guo, he will surely be able to realize his ambition."

When Wan Changfu heard this, his eyes widened.

"How ridiculous! You've just been restored to favor, and yet they're trying to frame you again. And that old scoundrel, Prime Minister Guo, I've disliked him for a long time. Do you really think he has the final say in the court?

Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to secretly observe every move of Prime Minister Guo's residence today."

Wan Rongyue nodded, then ordered Qingye to present a sandalwood box containing a stack of banknotes, saying:

"Here is the silver I've saved these days. Father, please keep it. Later, I'll help you buy and train some unique women, and find a reason to send them to the palace for my use."

Wan Changfu looked at the thick stack of silver notes in front of him. Each note had a face value of one thousand taels. He estimated that there were dozens of them, which meant tens of thousands of taels of silver. He couldn't help but feel moved.

"You just donated all the rewards His Majesty gave you to the disaster victims in Guanzhong. Where did you get so much money? Besides, it's not easy for you in the harem, so you have to keep some for your expenses. I will take half, and you can take the rest back to the palace."

As Wan Changfu spoke, he took away half of the box and pushed the rest in front of Wan Rongyue.

Wan Rongyue looked at Wan Changfu in surprise, and thought to herself that what Aning said was indeed right. When interests are consistent, people can often work together and move forward hand in hand; when interests are inconsistent, even close relatives may try to stab him.

It was already quite good that her father, who had always been greedy for fame and fortune, could do this.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay then. I'll leave the rest to Aning and ask her to help keep an eye out for anything you need while she's out shopping."

Wan Zilang, who was enjoying his meal nearby, raised his head immediately upon hearing this and said hurriedly, "Sister, well, they say that good things should be kept within the family. You just want to find someone, so leave it to me. I promise to help you find the most suitable person and send him to the palace."

What a joke! How could so much money be given to that woman Qiu Ning?

What if I get swallowed by him?

Sun, who was standing by, couldn't help but scold her, "Your sister is busy with important matters, so don't get involved. Just eat."

Wan Zilang wanted to fight for it again, but Wan Changfu glared at him with a warning look. He immediately dared not to do anything else and buried his head in eating in silence.

But he was thinking in his heart that he must find a way to monitor Qiu Ning, or make her willingly hand over the silver.

Unexpectedly, I met Qiu Ning again in the city the next day.

On this day, Wan Zilang and a few of his friends were gathering at the most famous brothel in the capital, drinking and having fun. When they were half drunk, Ye Haoyang instigated them:

"Brother Zilang, she's just a little palace maid, don't take it to heart. Brother, I heard that a top-notch lady came to Anxiang Tower today. It is said that even General Guo is her lover. If you can get this beauty, you will be really awesome."

Wan Zilang was still a little indignant, but when he suddenly heard his friend talking about General Guo, he instantly perked up.

"General Guo? Guo Yian?"

"Exactly. I heard that General Guo went to Guanzhong to provide disaster relief and made great contributions. He just returned to the city yesterday and summoned Miss Qingqing. This shows how much she holds in his heart."

Wan Zilang was a little confused when he heard this.

Guo Yian is the Queen's younger brother, and his father is Prime Minister Guo. His background is better than that of these playboys, but he does not have the playboy habits of these children from aristocratic families. He chooses not to stay at home and retire, but to lead troops to fight and become a general with a seriously ill patient in his hands.

Guo Yian played a vital role in the Queen and the Crown Prince being able to sit firmly in their current positions.

However, this general, who was considered a handsome man by everyone, secretly fell in love with a prostitute in a brothel and had an affair with her.

Wan Zilang didn't quite believe it.

"Is the news accurate? Guo Yian actually visited prostitutes?"

This is expressly prohibited by the imperial court, especially for someone of Guo Yian's status. Apart from anything else, the queen would never allow him to do this.

Ye Haoyang was very proud when he heard this. "You forgot, my brother-in-law's nephew serves under General Guo. If he hadn't been drunk last night, I wouldn't have known about this."

"Brother Zilang, haven't you always disliked Guo Yian's behavior? If he knew that the woman he liked was picked by you, do you think he would be able to hold his head up high in the circle in the future?"
