Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 593

Upon hearing Cheng Di's words, Lady Lin Yuan's anger flared up immediately, and she found it utterly intolerable!

Cheng Wu, that bitch, why does she have such a good life!

Moreover, Cheng Wu still had this crucial secret—that she had been working in the brothel for several days. As long as Cheng Wu was alive, she could never feel at ease.

That would be to simply kill Cheng Wu. Not only would she be able to vent her anger and avenge herself, but Cheng Di would also be able to snatch a good marriage, killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as Lady Linyuan's murderous intent arose, her fear of Cheng Wu diminished considerably.

She can't live in Cheng Wu's shadow forever. If Cheng Wu is eliminated, her mental state will definitely improve a lot!

Lady Lin Yuan's expression hardened, and she said to Cheng Di, "Di'er is right. Cheng Wu is not worthy of the position of the Seventh Prince's consort. You are the legitimate daughter of the Lin Yuan Marquis's family, and you are much more noble than her. You should be the one to take the position."

Lady Linyuan thought for a moment and said, "Here's what we'll do: you can visit the Seventh Prince's residence more often recently to lay the groundwork and cultivate a relationship with him. Ideally, you should win his favor so that when Cheng Wu dies, you can marry him smoothly without it seeming abrupt."

These days, it's common for sisters to share a husband, as long as the husband's family is well-off. It's also quite common for the younger sister to marry into the family as a second wife after the older sister's death.

Many families believe that it's better to keep the wealth within the family, and since sisters are all family, the kinship between the two families remains essentially unchanged, which is easier and less troublesome for the husband's family to manage.

Cheng Di was overjoyed: "Mother is right, I'll go to the Seventh Prince's residence tomorrow!"

The next day, Cheng Di got up very early, carefully tidied herself up, put on her most beautiful dress, wore her most exquisite jewelry, and applied her most delicate makeup. She was dressed to the nines from head to toe, looking radiant.

She was full of confidence. In terms of looks, she was a hundred times prettier than Cheng Wu, that dark-skinned, thick-skinned village girl.

The Seventh Prince must have been too low-key in the past and hadn't had much contact with truly beautiful girls. Cheng Wu, that ugly duckling, got lucky and married into the family, seizing the opportunity and making the Seventh Prince dote on her so much.

Now that Cheng Di has appeared, she'll show the Seventh Prince what a true beauty is. Won't he immediately despise Cheng Wu and fall head over heels for her?

Cheng Di went to the Seventh Prince's residence with high spirits.

Shen Lingjun and Mo Zhonggui happened to be in the mansion.

When Shen Lingjun heard that Cheng Di had actually come, he was a little puzzled and wondered what was going on, so he had someone let her in.

Cheng Di was a little annoyed to see "Cheng Wu" there, feeling it was hindering her from developing a relationship with the Seventh Prince. But then she thought it was fine; with both "Cheng Wu" and she present, the difference would be more apparent.

Upon seeing Cheng Di's flamboyant attire, Shen Lingjun immediately guessed what she had come for.

It's likely that seeing Huo Jinghuai's soaring status, she set her sights on the position of the Seventh Prince's consort.

Shen Lingjun glanced at Mo Zhonggui with a teasing smile in his eyes, meaning, "They've come to see you, so you should entertain them."

Mo Zhonggui glared at her.

If he were still the head of the Northern Yi Eastern Depot, things would be much easier; Cheng Di would definitely not be able to leave this gate alive today.

But now that he's using Huo Jinghuai's identity, he can't act recklessly. Huo Jinghuai isn't the kind of person who kills indiscriminately.

If he were to make a move, the opponent would either be killed or crippled, which would easily cause trouble. Recently, Consort Xing's faction has been keeping a close eye on him. He could only pretend to be patient, but that seemed too annoying, and he couldn't be bothered to waste his energy on this kind of woman.

So Mo Chonggui irresponsibly tossed the message to Shen Lingjun: "Your Highness, Miss Cheng must be here to see you, so I won't disturb your sisterly reunion."

It's more convenient for Shen Lingjun to handle this kind of thing.
