Chapter 1157: Slap on the Face
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Yunduan found himself in a dilemma and needed to carefully consider his next steps. Although he was leading a peaceful life, someone was causing trouble for him.
The Fourth Prince and Honored Princess Mei were greatly annoyed by the situation. On the other hand, the Second Prince and Third Prince didn’t pay much attention to Shao Yunduan’s actions. They believed that his association with the Crown Prince and his father’s admiration didn’t hold much significance as Shao Yunduan lacked a powerful background and appeared too weak to be of any help to the Crown Prince.
However, things took a different turn because of the Tian Family’s involvement. The Fourth Prince felt humiliated and slapped in the face due to their actions. Princess Virtue Sun’s jokes in front of the Empress, which indirectly targeted Honored Princess Mei, only fueled her annoyance further.
Feeling humiliated and unable to tolerate the disrespect, Honored Princess Mei decided to take a stand against the concubine. Moreover, the Fourth Prince’s growing support and the Emperor’s favor towards him gave them a sense of superiority over the Crown Prince, who lacked the same level of backing from his mother’s family.
They were confident that the Crown Prince would eventually step down, but Shao Yunduan’s actions brought them face-to-face with a challenge from the Crown Prince’s side.
This situation worried them because they considered their reputation and the perceptions of their followers and those who remained neutral. They were aware that no one could pete with the Crown Prince, and his association with Minister Old Yun manded even more respect and admiration.
After much discussion, the mother and son decided to address the situation by confronting Shao Yunduan.
Wasn’t he the Primus personally taught by Minister Old Yun? Wasn’t he an advanced talent? But if he had a bad character and wasn’t that good, did that mean that Minister Old Yun was getting old, not intermediate, and had bad taste?
With this, she could get Minister Old Yun off the pedestal!
If she could control it well, she might even be able to take down the Crown Prince!
The Fourth Prince went back to the mansion and passed on the message to He Zhiqing. “You are the cousin of the Xie Family, and I heard that Young Master Xie is in a good relationship with Shao Yunduan, right? I will leave this to you, and I don’t care what method you use. If you succeed, I will treat you well.”
In the end, the Fourth Prince decided to listen to his mother and not look down at women. He Zhiqing was the best person to deal with this. She was Shao Yunduan’s old friend, and even if that did not work out, she could be pushed out as the scapegoat. It was reasonable to say that they had a grudge against each other, and she was taking revenge on them.
He Zhiqing felt both bitter and motivated.
That was not a very easy thing to do.
She would definitely be moved. She was a concubine, and he would not treat her badly. He would either give her the position of a concubine or give her a son. Either way, she wanted them all.
She even wanted both of them.
But there was no free lunch in the world, and there was no free lunch.
Elder Miss had given her a warning before, and she could still stall for time. But since His Highness said so, she could not delay any longer.
He Zhiqing asked Qiao Wei to meet her privately.
Qiao Wei was very young, but she looked fierce.
She was not having a good time either. She was suffering physically and mentally.
That was such a huge blow to her!
When Qiao Xuan fell into the water and was forced to break off the engagement with the Yang Family, she felt happy and gloating.
