The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2351 - 2353: Changing Strategies

The guard was startled by him, "What does the Prince intend to do?"

"The Great Zhou is a dynasty that cares about its reputation. What if I consummate the marriage with Luo Linyu? At that time, I don’t believe the Luo Family can still marry her off to Yang Qingtong."

The Prince of Yueluo kingdom snorted, "Then I’ll go and ask the Emperor for marriage. To close the mouths of the people, the Emperor will surely agree. I thought it over, as long as Luo Linyu marries me, even if the State Duke of Defense’s Mansion is dissatisfied, he would have to endure it for Luo Linyu, wouldn’t he? Unless they can ignore the well-being of their daughter."

The guard thought about it and actually felt it was a good idea. If the Prince had done this earlier, he might have succeeded by now.

"Prince, you are right. Being indirect is useless, we must be direct."

"Isn’t that so? I did not expect Yang Qingtong, a small seventh-rank official, to dare oppose me and stubbornly refuse to break the engagement. I prepared a lot of things to trade with him."

Indeed, Yang Qingtong was unwilling to break the engagement. The Prince of Yueluo kingdom planned to use money and jewels to negotiate. Yueluo kingdom is rich in gems, and he brought a bag of precious stones to get Yang Qingtong to break the engagement, but that kid wouldn’t budge.

"Isn’t Yang Qingtong relying on the Prince An’s Mansion?"

"Yeah, I didn’t expect Prince An’s Mansion to give us Yueluo no face at all." This left the Prince of Yueluo kingdom feeling frustrated.

He is just a minister, yet not afraid of opposing an entire country like theirs.

The Yueluo kingdom, though small, is still a nation. Is Ye Zi’an not afraid of offending them and having Yueluo use all its power against him?

They must understand that Yueluo is determined when they want to bring someone down, even if it takes ten years of scheming.

"You arrange this matter, hmph!" The Prince of Yueluo kingdom thought for a moment and added, "Also, find out when Yang Qingtong and Luo Linyu are getting married. I’ll make my move on that day."

"Yes, I will get on it immediately, Your Highness."

After the guard left, a servant cleaning the post house quickly departed and made his way to Prince An’s Mansion. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Soon, the conversation reached Ye Zi’an’s ears.

"This Prince of Yueluo kingdom is too despicable!" Yang Qingtong slammed the table in anger.

"Not despicable!" Ye Zi’an said, "He knows what is advantageous for Yueluo. You must understand, although there are no princesses now, the former Emperor had many princesses, and there are still two young ones unmarried now. So why doesn’t he opt to marry a princess if he wants to form an alliance?"

"Why?" Yang Qingtong instinctively asked.

"Because he is also a member of the imperial family and knows how heartless they can be. If he holds a royal princess in his hand and if war breaks out someday, the Emperor wouldn’t care for the princess. But the State Duke of Defense’s Mansion is different, the Duke’s family only has this one girl, Linhao and the uncle aren’t part of the imperial family, they wouldn’t ignore their daughter or sister’s tragic fate, understand?"

Yang Qingtong wiped his sweat, "Brother-in-law, this Prince of Yueluo kingdom isn’t stupid."

"Of course he’s not stupid, would he earn the King’s favor if he were foolish?" He thought for a moment and added, "The previous dumb methods were just to avoid offending the State Duke of Defense’s Mansion while underestimating Prince An’s Mansion. But look at it now? His previous tactics aren’t working, so he’s immediately changing strategies."

"Should we come up with countermeasures?"

Ye Zi’an nodded, "Of course, we should. Tomorrow, we’ll pass this information to Luo Linfei. On that fateful day, let him also become the groom, and when the deed is done, he’ll be married in our Great Zhou before heading back to Yueluo."
