The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Chapter 199 Chen Ling Shuang's Plot

Qin Wanying said, "If they remain inactive, we won't be able to find fault with them. If we take action, we might be able to turn the tide."

"Besides, they might not target me; they could target you or anyone in our camp. If I go, our chances of winning are much higher."

Xiao Jiye reluctantly agreed.

He felt sorry for Qin Wanying.

Qin Wanying is so young, yet she has to get involved in such a complex struggle, and she worries about her life every day.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to treat her well.

He arranged for several highly skilled maids to protect Qin Wanying's safety, and at the same time sent people to keep an eye on the birthday banquet to see if anyone did anything unusual.

Awen also came.

She was invited for two reasons: first, her maternal grandfather had been promoted to a higher official position, and second, she was the fiancée of the Ninth Prince.

Qin Wanying was happy to see Awen, and the two talked for a long time.

Qin Wanying finally sat down with her family.

When Yang Xiurong saw her daughter, she grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit next to her.

Qin Wanying sighed helplessly. "We just saw each other yesterday, and you're already missing me again today."

Yang Xiurong had no choice. After her daughter went missing, she kept thinking about her. Now that she had finally found her, she wished she could see her anytime.

The Crown Prince asked her to move to his residence, and Yang Xiurong even felt a little resentful towards him, thinking he had taken her daughter away.

My eldest and fifth brothers have been very busy lately and rarely come home for lunch. They haven't seen Wanying for several days, so when they did see her, they were very affectionate and asked her all sorts of questions.

Qin Wanying always felt a warm glow and a deep sense of happiness when she saw her family.

She urged her family to be careful, as she didn't know what the Empress Dowager and the Prince of War might do.

At this moment, Qin Wanying saw Chen Ling Shuang.

Yan Danyang also came with his family, but Yan Yuelan seemed to be absent due to other matters. However, Yan Danyang's son, Yan Cheng, did come.

Yan Cheng and Chen Ling Shuang were exchanging glances.

Qin Wanying lowered her head and smiled. So blatant, does she really think no one knows?

Chen Ling Shuang is getting married to Tao Jie, the son of the Grand Councilor, in three days, and she is still in contact with Yan Cheng.

Qin Wanying glanced in the direction of the Chamberlain's family.

Tao Jie has a square face and looks like an honest man. I wonder what the Grand Councilor would think if he knew his future daughter-in-law was having an improper relationship with another man?

Chen Ling Shuang and Qu Wan Yi are together.

Since they worked together to deal with Qin Wanying last time, the two seem to have grown closer.

The crown prince narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two women.

He was worried that they would make things difficult for Qin Wanying.

Qu Wanyi, he wasn't too worried about her; she didn't seem very bright.

I feel that Chen Ling Shuang is more cunning, and she's been going to see the Empress Dowager a lot lately; I wonder what kind of conspiracy she's plotting.

The Crown Prince sent people to keep a close watch on Qu Wanyi, Chen Lingshuang, and the people around them.

When the Duke of Ying learned of his daughter's previous falling out with Qin Wanying, he punished her. Knowing he had angered the Crown Prince, he quickly went to apologize to him.

The Crown Prince knew that the Duke of Ying was loyal, and since he was a Duke, he naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him.

However, she also told the Duke of Ying, "If it were anyone else, I would not have punished Miss Qu like that. But I don't want anyone to hurt Qin Wanying, and I hope the Duke can keep his daughter in check."

The Duke of England looked surprised. He had already guessed it, but now that the Crown Prince had said it himself, he was certain that the Crown Prince was in love with Qin Wanying and wanted to marry her.

Who knows, Qin Wanying might be the future empress.

He quickly agreed, saying that he would definitely discipline his daughter properly in the future and would never let her offend Miss Qin.

After the Duke of England left, a servant whispered in the Crown Prince's ear that Chen Ling Shuang's maid had tampered with Qin Wan Ying's wine.

Just as the Marquis of Dingbei and his family went to visit other officials, Chen Ling Shuang's maid approached Qin Wan Ying's wine.

He simply swept his hand quickly across the wine glass; he must have practiced it.

It's likely that they've already drugged it.

Xiao Jiye's face darkened. He was clearly up to no good.

The Crown Prince found Qin Wanying and whispered the truth to her.

Qin Wanying frowned.

Chen Ling Shuang is really no good person.

I wonder what kind of medicine was given? Was it a drug that could kill her?

Probably not. She had asked Qin Yunzhu before, and in this dynasty, there was no colorless and odorless drug that could be killed in small doses. Deadly poisons put in wine would be easily detected.

Qin Wanying quietly changed the wine glass.

Xiao Jiye had someone test the drugged wine, and it turned out to contain aphrodisiacs.

Xiao Jiye was furious. "Chen Ling Shuang, don't go too far."

Qin Wanying was speechless when she found out.

Isn't this just a scene from a TV drama?

At a banquet, the villainous female supporting character drugged the female lead with an aphrodisiac, causing her to sleep with a man. She then sent people to catch them in the act, with the aim of ruining the female lead's reputation.

However, Chen Ling Shuang's purpose was probably to make the Crown Prince dislike her, thereby sowing discord between her and the Crown Prince and causing them to no longer be of one mind.

Qin Wanying had the Crown Prince's men switch the drugged wine cup with Chen Ling Shuang's wine cup.

In TV dramas, the female lead usually turns the tables and gets revenge.

Chen Ling Shuang, since you're so impatient, why don't you expose your affair to the public ahead of time, and take this opportunity to strike a blow against the Yan family?

The Crown Prince's men were also very skilled and well-trained. Taking advantage of the fact that the Marquis of Zhong'an's family was not at the banquet, they carried out their actions in one smooth motion without making a sound.

When Chen Ling Shuang returned, she didn't notice that the wine glass had been switched, and even took a sip.

Qin Wanying was speechless. She was capable of harming others, yet she had no sense of self-protection whatsoever. Wasn't she afraid that others would use the same methods to harm her?

Or has it been that you've always been the one hurting others, while no one has ever hurt you?

Qin Wanying remained seated, silently observing everything.

[Give me an aphrodisiac, then have me sleep with another man, and finally catch them in the act—how cliché!]

Qin Wanying's family members who were present, including Qin Yezhong and his wife, Qin Xingyuan, and Qin Rufeng, all looked surprised.

What?! Someone dared to drug Wan Ying with aphrodisiacs! What audacity!

The family remained silent, wondering who this person was.

Several people wanted nothing more than to skin this person alive.

Wan Ying was their precious darling, and no one in the family wanted to say anything to her or see her suffer even the slightest harm.

Someone actually dared to drug Wan Ying with aphrodisiacs, ruining her reputation!

Gu Yiwen was sitting not far from Qin Wanying and heard Qin Wanying's thoughts.

Seeing that no one around her reacted, she knew it was what she truly felt.

She gripped the wine glass tightly.

She was willing to risk her life to protect Qin Wanying.

Who is it that dares to harm Wan Ying!

I really want to find this person right now!

Chen Ling Shuang's plan was quite good, but unfortunately, she was the one caught in the act!

Upon hearing the voice, the expressions of the group subtly changed.

It was Chen Ling Shuang!

This bitch!

How dare you harm Wanying!

Fortunately, Wan Ying is resourceful and won't let this bitch harm her; in fact, she turns the tables on her!

The group's attitudes changed; their anger turned into amusement at the spectacle.

Judging from Wan Ying's lack of intention to tell them, it's likely that everything has been arranged.
