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

Chen Ling Shuang was taken aback.

The Duke of Wei? Isn't that the person Father has always wanted to befriend?

Unfortunately, the Duke of Wei had no sons, only a daughter.

Otherwise, given her looks and abilities, it wouldn't be impossible for her to marry the son of the Duke of Wei.

Chen Ling Shuang asked, "Then why would the Duke of Wei go to the Marquis of Dingbei's residence? Could it be that he has a good relationship with the Marquis of Dingbei's residence?"

Marquis Zhong'an replied irritably, "I don't know if the Duke of Wei and the Marquis of Dingbei were on good terms before, but they're going to be in-laws! The Duke of Wei is just arranging a marriage for his daughter!"

Chen Ling Shuang's mouth could fit an egg.

"The Duke of Wei is actually willing to marry his daughter to the Marquis of Dingbei? Which son of the Marquis of Dingbei is it?"

No matter who it is, it cannot be Qin Yonghua.

No matter what, the Duke of Wei would never marry his daughter to a merchant.

"It's Qin Yonghua, the third son of the Marquis of Dingbei!"

Chen Ling Shuang gasped.

how so!

Qin Yonghua, whom I despise and look down upon, has actually been favored by the only daughter of the Duke of Wei.

"You said he was a toad trying to eat swan meat, but now he's become a dragon leaping over the gate and has become the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei! Look at you, can you even compare to him!" Marquis Zhong'an said.

Chen Ling Shuang bit her lower lip.

After their engagement, she and Qin Yonghua met only a few times, and each time they did meet, they didn't talk much.

She had always looked down on Qin Yonghua, but she always spoke politely when they met and didn't show it.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yonghua immediately climbed the social ladder after I broke off the engagement and is now going to marry the only daughter of the Duke of Wei.

A flame of jealousy ignited in Chen Ling Shuang's heart.

She now feels like, "Why is my ex doing better than me?"

Her father's humiliation made her feel even more aggrieved.

Chen Ling Shuang stormed back to her room.

-----------------

When the Duke of Wei left, the entire Dingbei Marquis's residence was filled with joy.

Qin Yonghua found a good marriage, something the entire household could never have imagined.

It was thanks to the Marquis of Zhong'an's family taking the initiative to break off the engagement that they were able to avoid being branded as treacherous.

Yang Xiurong is very efficient and is already preparing the betrothal gifts.

Previously, he was to marry Chen Ling Shuang, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhong'an. Although the betrothal gifts he prepared were not bad, it was still a bit meager to marry the daughter of a Duke. He would have to prepare more.

They couldn't let the Duke's mansion feel that their Marquis's mansion had mistreated their daughter.

Qin Wanying nodded in satisfaction.

That's great! The marriages of my third and fifth brothers are both settled.

In the novel, the two older brothers are involved in a marriage dispute, one leading to a life of moral decay and the other ending up in prison.

Now, both of their fates have been changed, and they have both found wonderful marriages.

Although my eldest sister's marriage ended in divorce, she survived and received a large share of the assets, so she was quite lucky.

Qin Wanying felt that life was becoming more and more hopeful.

The marriages of his brothers and sisters, especially his second, fourth, and sixth brothers, are still undecided.

My older brother is already married and has children.

However, the sister-in-law and the child have not yet been seen by herself.

My sister-in-law married far away. My grandparents went to visit friends in another city, and the people they visited were my sister-in-law's grandparents. So my sister-in-law went along with them and took her son to visit her parents' home.

I guess he'll be back soon.

-----------------

The next day.

Qin Wanying got up early; she had already made an appointment to have her fortune told.

I met up with five people today.

After all five of them finished calculating, Qin Wanying, due to her enhanced mental strength, did not feel dizzy at all; on the contrary, she felt refreshed.

Although her mental strength had increased, Qin Wanying did not increase the number of times she consulted the oracle each day.

After all, she still has to deal with the Shadow matter and can't put all her energy into fortune telling.

Just as I was about to leave, someone suddenly walked in from outside.

Qin Wanying glanced at him through the veil and saw a tall, middle-aged man with an extraordinary air about him, followed by a servant.

Qin Wanying didn't pay much attention to it.

He charges a thousand taels of silver for a fortune telling session, and those who come to him are all prominent figures.

Qin Wanying simply greeted him, saying, "Hello, sir. I am very polite."

The maid, Pear Blossom, greeted her very politely: "Honored guest, my young lady only does five fortune tellings a day. Today's five readings are all done, and the rest of the month is also fully booked. If you would like your fortune told, you can make an appointment now and come back on the fifteenth of next month."

"I...I can't wait until the fifteenth of next month. I have something very urgent to do and I want to have my fortune told today. Please make an exception for me, young lady," the man said, his voice full of energy.

Qin Wanying looked up, stared at the man for a few seconds, and was surprised.

This person was none other than Prince Zhao, Xiao Qirui.

King Zhao was the highest-ranking official Qin Wanying had ever encountered since she began her fortune-telling journey.

This Prince Zhao is the younger brother of the current emperor and one of the few princes of Emperor Yao.

According to the novel, King Zhao maintained a neutral stance throughout the struggle between the Crown Prince and King Zhan, refusing to take sides.

Moreover, this King Zhao had an army of 100,000.

If the Crown Prince could gain the King's assistance, his chances of winning would be much greater.

Moreover, King Zhao valued promises extremely highly, and a promise was worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Qin Wanying used the system's ability to check, and indeed, King Zhao was just as described in the book; once he promised someone something, he would definitely fulfill it.

Qin Wanying had a plan in mind.

King Zhao came to see her today because he needed her help.

No matter what, we must win over King Zhao's help and persuade him to side with the Crown Prince.

King Zhao was anxious after hearing what Pear Blossom said; his matter could not be delayed.

“Girl, I’m willing to pay more. You charge a thousand taels of silver for a divination, I’m willing to charge ten thousand taels of silver for a divination, just please do it for me today.”

Qin Wanying said, "Your status is so noble that I dare not accept more money. I already know what you have come to consult. I can tell your fortune today without asking for any money, as long as you keep your promise."

King Zhao paused for a moment.

Does this girl know what she is?

I traveled all the way from the west because I heard of this girl's great reputation.

After confirmation, it was found that he was a capable person.

I just didn't expect that they knew what I was supposed to be beforehand, and it seems they even knew my identity.

However, King Zhao did not speak rashly.

He values ​​promises very much and naturally wouldn't make promises to people casually.

"What does the young lady wish me to agree to?"

Qin Wanying looked at Prince Zhao through the veil of his hat and said solemnly, "This humble woman hopes that Prince Zhao will be loyal to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, and that Prince Zhao's troops will also be of use to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

The two maids were extremely surprised. They never imagined that the man in front of them was the famous Prince Zhao.

The shadow guards hiding in the shadows were also very surprised.

The servant behind King Zhao also looked astonished.

Who exactly is this girl?

When the prince arrived, he did not tell anyone, nor did he alert the emperor.

And this girl actually revealed the prince's true identity directly.

The servant initially thought that the prince was desperate and would even believe in something as unfounded as fortune-telling.

Now it seems, could this girl really be a divine being?
