My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1135 - 1141: A Revolting Physique

At nightfall, Prince Liang pushed Li Mu’er onto the bed, but her looks no longer stirred any appetite in him.

Li Mu’er once was beautiful, with a shapely figure, but since having a child, her face had developed many spots, and her figure was completely out of shape, leaving him with no desire whatsoever.

And yet, Li Mu’er, relying on the fact that she had just given birth to a son, became particularly controlling over their sexual relations.

He even had to find an excuse to go to the Qing Building if he wanted to indulge in the pleasures he longed for.

Alas, life was simply unbearable!

Prince Liang closed his eyes, but still felt unable to proceed, so he lay down beside Li Mu’er.

"My Prince, what’s wrong?"

Li Mu’er tried hard to hide it, but still inadvertently revealed a touch of loss.

Now, she was the only woman by Prince Liang’s side. If she couldn’t win him over at this time, what place would she have in the Wang Mansion later on?

Prince Liang let out a sigh, "This Prince is thinking about how to win over Qin Longyun and Tan Zhenghong. Several days have passed, but there’s been no progress whatsoever."

"My Prince, there are so many people willing to serve you. Why are you fixated on just those two?"

Li Mu’er pouted as she asked.

Her father had already been dealt with, but she still had uncles and other relatives who could be entrusted with important tasks.

And because of her, her relatives would surely be utterly loyal.

Wouldn’t they be better than two outsiders?

However, these thoughts were only in Li Mu’er’s mind, as Prince Liang still had concerns about her father’s affairs.

"Qin Longyun’s father-in-law is Minister Chen, the Emperor has a good impression of Tan Zhenghong. Moreover, I received information that the Emperor values the agricultural tools produced by the Tan Family, and is planning to promote Tan Zhenghong, leapfrogging him two ranks, an honor unprecedented."

Li Mu’er propped herself up, half of her body pressing against the man.

"My Prince, if you must have them, I have a way."

"Let’s hear it," Prince Liang said indifferently.

He never thought a woman could be very capable, especially one as unintelligent as Li Mu’er.

"I’ve heard that Duo Meifang is quite profitable, but the Tan Family started from scratch without any powerful backers, so their growth has been slow. If you could lend them strong support, they would surely be grateful to you. Besides, you would also get a share of the silver, and silver is a good thing; with it, you could buy as many people’s hearts as you want," Li Mu’er said slowly.

The struggle for the heir apparent ultimately came down to who had stronger backing, which, to some extent, was a matter of power and silver.

Prince Liang gave a thumbs up, "Killing two birds with one stone, this idea is excellent!"

"Should the Prince then give me a reward?" Li Mu’er asked softly.

At this moment, her clothing was half-undone, supposedly her most enchanting state.

A tease from Prince Liang.

Just when Li Mu’er couldn’t resist any longer, Prince Liang suddenly stopped, "This Prince is tired; let’s talk about this in the morning."

His mind was willing, but his body was not up to the task.

"Okay," Li Mu’er responded softly.

At that moment, she almost bit through a silver tooth in frustration. How could she not know that he was disgusted by her flabby belly?

During her pregnancy, she had stayed in the temple, carefully concealing her condition, with poor food and rest, how could she possibly maintain her figure?

Not even twenty years old, was she destined to live like a widow from then on?

Looking at Chen Yiling and Qiao Duo’er, they too had children but didn’t become as frumpy as her. How could she not envy them?
