Young ladies usually stay at home and never go out of the house. They only come out to socialize during festivals, banquets, and when burning incense.
Moreover, the ladies who came out were all suitable for marriage. Lin Qingrou said this just to show that her family rules were strict, unlike Lin Yushu's who were so unrestrained.
She knew that Lin Yushu was always busy with the business and was often out of the house. She was both jealous and disdainful. How could a daughter of an official be out all day? It was simply inappropriate.
But she herself was eager to go out and meet more officials and young men...
"Of course, if Miss Lin wants to hear it, I will tell you everything."
Lin Qingrou's trick was very effective, at least it could charm Nan Huaishuo. At this moment, Nan Huaishuo only had Lin Qingrou in his eyes.
While they were chatting animatedly, Lin Yushu couldn't bear the annoyance in her heart, so she took a step back, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
These two are truly a match made in heaven.
It seemed that the prince's health was getting worse, which was why Nan Huaishuo dared to openly show his goodwill to her and Lin Qingrou.
He couldn't hold it back any longer.
Not long after walking, Lin Yushu saw the Second Prince Nan Heying drinking with his concubine in his arms. Lin Yushu stepped forward and saluted.
Nan Heying straightened his fat body with great effort. On his broad face, his eyes, which were squeezed to a slit, stared at Lin Yushu.
It’s this Princess Shuyi!
It caused his mother to be confined to her house, his grandfather to be reprimanded, and his cousin Hu Ruzhen to be beaten with a stick in the court.
Although Nan Heying didn't like that arrogant and brainless cousin, they were family after all. Anyone who dared to touch them would be their enemy.
"How dare you come before this prince?"
Lin Yushu was not afraid of Nan Heying's pressure at all and smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, don't you know that there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?"
"You? What benefit can a mere county lord like you bring to me?"
Nan Heying made no secret of his disdain for Lin Yushu.
Lin Yushu glanced at the guards behind Nan Heying, smiled faintly, and said nothing.
Seeing her being so mysterious, Nan Heying became curious and turned around and ordered, "All of you go down."
Concubine Hu beside Nan Heying glared at Lin Yushu fiercely, her jealous eyes filled with a strong warning.
Nan Heying coaxed her softly for a few words before Concubine Hu was satisfied and got up to leave.
"Don't be so mysterious. Just tell me."
"Now that the Crown Prince has lost the Emperor's favor due to the low-quality military supplies, and his health is deteriorating, it should be your turn to call the shots in the court, but that's not the case, right?"
The second prince's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely surprised.
Lin Yushu's words hit the nail on the head.
Although the prince's power is gradually weakening, he still has trouble handling some government affairs in the court, as if there is a hand wrestling with him in secret.
"Go on."
Lin Yushu smiled knowingly, and without waiting for Nan Heying to speak, she sat down opposite him.
"That's because His Royal Highness the Second Prince has been choosing the wrong opponent all along."
!!!
Nan Heying was extremely shocked. Lin Yushu actually dared to speak nonsense in front of him!
"You mean, the Crown Prince is no match for me, but someone else is? Do you think I'm so stupid?"
How could anyone choose the wrong opponent and fight him for nearly ten years without realizing it? This is simply an insult to him!
Nan Heying looked at Lin Yushu with murderous eyes.
Lin Yushu shook her head slightly.
"That's not entirely true. The Crown Prince is your opponent, and so are others. But the person hiding behind the Crown Prince is your real opponent."
"Who?"
Nan Heying stared at Lin Yushu with his small eyes, as if he wanted to make a hole in her body.
"Even if I tell him, His Royal Highness the Second Prince won't believe it. How about I prove it in another way?"
"Does the Second Prince have a counselor by his side? His surname is Cheng?"
The fat on the Second Prince's face trembled slightly. How could Lin Yushu know this?
Cheng Ru was his retainer, who came to him two years ago and gave him many good ideas. His status among the many retainers gradually rose. Now Cheng Ru has become one of Nan Heying's most trusted advisers.
Cheng Ru was not well-known. No one knew him except the people in the Second Prince's mansion. How could Lin Yushu know him...
"Second Prince, you don't need to know how I know this. You just need to know that there is something wrong with this person."
Lin Yushu slowly leaned forward, approaching Nan Heying's round, fat face.
"Follow this person, the Second Prince will be able to find the truth he wants to know."
Nan Heying kept thinking in his mind, "What is your purpose in telling me this?"
Lin Yushu picked up the bunch of grapes in front of her that were as clear as jade, picked up one, and ate it slowly.
"I have no intention of making enemies with the Second Prince. I was also a victim at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, so I don't ask for much this time. I just want to make good friends with the Second Prince and the Imperial Concubine."
Nan Heying was a little bit unconvinced. How could Lin Yushu really help him remove a thorn in his side? How could she do such a great contribution without asking for anything in return?
"Oh, there is one more thing. My Shuyue Pavilion is about to open. It sells items that women love. If the Second Prince is willing, you can go pick some small items for Concubine Hu and the Imperial Concubine."
Hearing this, Nan Heying slowly felt relieved.
A shop frequented by a prince would inevitably cause a sensation and bring in considerable profits.
Lin Yushu's actions were reasonable, as she could not only resolve the rift between him and his mother, but also earn a large sum of money.
Nan Heying nodded with satisfaction, which was considered as acceptance.
Lin Yushu was about to leave when Lin Qingrou's voice came from behind her again.
"So the elder sister hid here, making it difficult for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to find her."
Lin Qingrou's level is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary ladies. With just one sentence, she made others imagine the relationship between Lin Yushu and Nan Huaishuo.
Especially since there is only one person in front of him, the second prince Nan Heying.
If Nan and Ying had any thoughts about Lin Yushu, they would probably lose interest in her because of this sentence.
It seems that after Lin Qingrou hooked up with Nan Huaishuo, she changed her target to Nan Heying.
She is like a butterfly among flowers, flying back and forth among the flowers that are competing for beauty, looking for the most beautiful one among them.
"I just came out for a walk, but my second sister was chatting with the Fifth Prince and you two didn't even notice me leaving."
Hearing this, Lin Qingrou's expression suddenly became gloomy, but then she smiled again and greeted Nan Heying tenderly.
"My daughter Lin Qingrou greets His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
After saying that, she raised her little face and smiled at Nan and Yingjiao.
Unfortunately, Nan Heying ignored it. He was not a stupid and incompetent person, otherwise he would not have fought the prince to this end.
"Your Highness the Second Prince, please have a good chat with my second sister. She is truly a wonderful person..."
Lin Yushu's words of reconciliation before leaving made Lin Qingrou happy and puzzled. Why would Lin Yushu be so kind to help her?
Nan Heying's mind raced. Could it be that Lin Qingrou also had some secret that could be of use to him?
Nan Heying became interested...
