By reading my mind, I defeated the crazy regent

"Once our crimes are exposed, do you think the Regent will let us go? We will all be executed."

"By then, don't even think about being with him. He probably won't even look at you, and you will only feel resentment towards him."

Liu Pianpian kept shaking her head: "No, Dad, I am confident that I can win the heart of the Regent."

"Just treat it as a gamble for your daughter's happiness, okay? Let's give it a try. If it succeeds, I will be the Regent Princess, and you will be the Regent's father-in-law. Our family will both benefit from it."

"Then those who laughed at me and watched me make fun of me will all come to fawn over us and fear us."

Although Liu Pianpian was punished secretly, it was inevitable that some of her close friends would spread the news and make sarcastic remarks about her.

During the years that Liu Pianpian followed Yin Tingyan, although they had no relationship at all, Yin Tingyan rarely even spoke to her.

But at least she is special, and others dare not get as close to Yin Tingyan.

Liu Pianpian had been feeling particularly respected for several years because of Yin Tingyan, so naturally she couldn't let go of this feeling.

The Duke seemed to be determined: "Don't even think about it."

"Since you can walk around now, rest for another half a month. I'll have someone arrange for you to meet someone who's a good match for you and marry you off as soon as possible."

Liu Pianpian looked at him in astonishment: "Dad, do you really have to force me like this?"

"You're forcing me, your father!"

The Duke said angrily, "From today on, if you dare to do anything ridiculous to me again, anything that will bring shame to our family, I will break your legs."

"Go back and rest, don't bother me anymore."

Liu Pianpian was unwilling to give in and kept crying and begging.

But the Duke was already impatient and ordered someone to drag Liu Pianpian out and send her away immediately.

The Duke was in no good mood at all and sat on the armchair, waiting for his luck.

The confidant came over and whispered, "Duke, the eldest lady has been sent back."

"Why don't you just tell the young lady that you helped her? If the young lady knew that you helped her, she wouldn't be so rude to you."

The Duke sneered, "You won't make a fuss? If she knew, she would only make it worse."

"Don't I know this kid? He's incredibly ambitious, but he doesn't have the ability to match his ambition. The little he has in his head isn't even enough for someone to scheme against him."

"For someone like her, it's good enough that someone wants her."

"It's a good thing that she wants to marry the Regent, but the Regent must be willing to have her. If the Regent is not willing, then she is nothing."

The confidant was confused: "Since the master is so pessimistic about the eldest lady, why did he go to the emperor on her behalf?"

The Duke said, "I didn't do that for her, but for the reputation of my Liu family."

"Liu Pianpian has brought shame upon herself and brought disgrace upon the Liu family. I must redeem myself and let the Regent and Tang Qiansui know that I am not a good-tempered person either."

"Although the Emperor is young, it is precisely because of his youth that he is easy to exploit."

"As long as the Emperor asks the Regent why he killed the child, the Regent will definitely be unhappy, and this will create a thorn between the Emperor and the Regent."

"I want this thorn to penetrate deeply into their hearts, so that as time goes by, it will cause their hearts to fester, become inflamed, and ache."

"They will never be able to return to the best and most trusting moments of each other."

The Duke acted slowly and leisurely as if he was planning a strategy.

"Don't underestimate this move of mine. If I do it well, I can successfully sow discord. The little emperor may not understand it because he is too young, but Yin Tingyan must understand it."

"Yin Tingyan will feel sad, angry, and even heartbroken if he feels that the young emperor doesn't trust him. If Yin Tingyan doesn't work, the emperor won't be happy either."

"By that time, the world will be in the hands of the emperor. He will seize power and take back all of Yin Tingyan's rights."

"What I'm most worried about and most afraid of is Yin Tingyan's rights, isn't it? But once people have rights, who would be willing to lose them?"

"Since the relationship between the Emperor and Yin Tingyan seems okay now, I will make it so that Yin Tingyan will lose Daquan one day."

"When the time comes, it will be time for my Liu family to take action and make Yin Tingyan pay back the debt and bring shame upon himself."

The Duke's eyes were shining, and he looked extremely cruel.

The confidant was still shouting "six six six".

"The Duke is truly a genius. He was able to come up with such a circuitous yet safe method, and he also had the patience to wait for time to develop. This is something that not everyone can do."

"It's a pity that we can't let the young lady know this yet."

The Duke snorted coldly, "What can she possibly know? Look at her personality. She's so ambitious, yet neither high nor low. She can't hide anything."

"If I really tell her, Yin Tingyan might find out about my plan. I can't let Liu Pianpian do anything bad to me."

The confidant nodded in agreement.

Liu Pianpian returned to her room and lay on the bed crying.

Her wet nurse also felt sorry for her and kept wiping her tears.

"Miss, please don't cry. If you continue like this, when will you be able to fully recover?"

"Madam is praying for you every day, worried that something bad might happen to you. Just for Madam's sake, you have to cheer up."

Liu Pianpian's numb eyes gradually showed some light.

"Nanny, I used to think that Tang Qiansui and her father were extremely evil because they both fought, but now I suddenly understand Tang Qiansui a little bit."

The nurse was shocked: "Ah? You, you understand Tang Qiansui? This is unacceptable. Tang Qiansui beats her father and scolds her mother. She is not a good person."

Liu Pianpian laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "So what? At least Tang Qiansui lives happily, without being constrained by others. She has money and a temper of her own."

"Anyone who dares to provoke her will be immediately beaten back. So, what's wrong with Tang Qiansui's life?"

"In fact, we are the ones who have always been unhappy. I can't live freely like Tang Qiansui and get the people and everything I want."

"I really can't accept this. I've been chasing the Prince Regent for so many years, but how could I be defeated by a Tang Qiansui?"

The nanny didn't know how to persuade her.

"Miss, why don't we get some sleep? We'll be fine when we wake up."

Liu Pianpian felt that it would not get better: "As long as Tang Qiansui is not dead, I will not be happy. If this continues, there will be no recovery."

"But if the master doesn't help, we don't dare to send people to kill people ourselves."

Why not? She had already done it once before, but the first assassination attempt failed.

It would be great if I could assassinate Tang Qiansui once more and succeed.
