Chapter 11 Calculation
Ning Wenyue calmed down abruptly because of Lü Mei's address of "Miss Lin the Third".
Although he privately mocked Lin Zhao for being abandoned by her fiancé on her wedding day, despite being the legitimate daughter of a prominent family.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Lin Zhao's identity was not something he could casually flirt with.
If Lin Zhao really wanted to hold a grudge, he would be considered to have committed an act of insubordination.
"Miss Lü has good taste," Lin Zhao said calmly.
Lu Mei felt a burning pain on her face from the compliment, after all, she hadn't recognized him at first, only that he looked familiar. It wasn't until Lin Zhao knocked Ning Wenyue away with one move that she remembered Lin Zhao, whom Ning Wengui had been thinking about all these years, and so she guessed and asked him.
I can't believe it really was her!
Lu Mei glanced at Ning Wengui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and, relying on her woman's intuition, judged that the two of them were just a case of the king having designs on someone but the goddess having no dreams.
Even so, it was enough to make Lü Mei hate Lin Zhao to the core.
She was born into a better family than me, yet she had a fiancé like the Holy Son of the Holy Land, and even the man I had feelings for was still thinking about her!
Looking disdainfully at Ning Wenyue, who was intimidated by Lin Zhao's identity, Lü Mei softly said, "I heard some things. I thought Miss Lin would recuperate at the Lin family for a few days to avoid the storm before coming out. I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so unconventional. It seems that she has already forgotten the unpleasantness of her marriage to Shen Shengzi."
These words were both open and veiled mocking Lin Zhao for being shameless, for being abandoned by her fiancé on their wedding day and still managing to leave so quickly.
Lin Zhao looked up at her, "Those who willingly debase themselves will always assume that others are just as debase as they are."
It was Shen Yuhan and Chen Luoluo who were shameless on their wedding day, what does it have to do with her?
Thinking she could use this to make Lin Zhao lose face is a bit too naive of Lü Mei.
Lü Mei sneered, "I really hope Miss Lin can be as sharp-tongued as she is when it comes to marriage."
"There's no need for Miss Lü to trouble herself with that."
Lin Zhao pushed Ning Wengui into the auction house.
Lu Mei watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then glanced at Ning Wenyue behind them. Her gaze turned cold, and a wicked thought formed in her mind.
Do you like Miss Lin the Third?
Ning Wenyue was startled by the malice in her eyes, but when she thought of Lin Zhao's stunningly beautiful face, she regained her composure and nodded.
"I have a way to help Your Highness get her, but Your Highness knows what to do, right?"
When Ning Wenyue met his fiancée's sinister gaze and realized what she was talking about, his teeth chattered, and he transmitted his thoughts to her.
“But even if I don’t activate this Reincarnation Poison, my sixth brother will only live for two or three years at most. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?”
Lu Mei transmitted her voice, saying, "The Reincarnation Poison can not only transfer the Crown Prince's life force to Your Highness, but also transfer a portion of his cultivation to you after his complete death. Your Highness has been stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining for many years. If you can get half of the Crown Prince's cultivation, Your Highness will also be able to establish your foundation. If Your Highness can successfully establish your foundation, you will definitely have a better chance of winning in the future struggle for the position of Crown Prince."
Ning Wenyue's eyes lit up, "Then let's do it your way!"
As he spoke, he looked at Lü Mei's face, which, though not as beautiful as Lin Zhao's, still possessed a certain charm, and reached out to touch it: "Mei'er, you truly are my good fiancée. Don't worry, Mei'er, even if I end up with that woman surnamed Lin, you will still be my future empress!" Lü Mei was caught off guard by his touch on her face, and felt a wave of nausea. She cursed inwardly, "If it weren't for scheming against Ning Wengui, how could I have gotten involved with a man like this?"
Butler Wang wasn't really clear about what happened back then. Emperor Youlan had proposed to arrange a marriage between her and Ning Wengui, and she was eagerly awaiting the imperial decree, but Ning Wengui refused!
A few years ago, with the help of a mysterious person, Lü Mei finally realized that the man she loved did not have feelings for her. So she plotted the royal hunting accident and, following the mysterious person's instructions, poisoned Ning Wengui with the Reincarnation Poison.
After administering the poison, Lü Mei gave some of the benefits of the Reincarnation Poison to Ning Wenyue, and pushed her family to arrange a marriage with Ning Wenyue, which can be considered as forming an alliance with Ning Wenyue.
However, in her plan with the mysterious man, Ning Wenyue was just a scapegoat after the Reincarnation Poison incident. Once Ning Wengui died, she would expose the Reincarnation Poison in his body. At that time, Lü Mei would become a meritorious person for exposing the poison, while Ning Wenyue would have no way to defend himself and would have no evidence, so he could only obediently die.
So Ning Wenyue was going to die sooner or later, and sending him to defile Lin Zhao was just her way of venting her anger.
Besides, Ning Wenyue wouldn't really believe that if he did something to Lin Zhao, he could still survive, would he?
If it weren't for my support over the years, how could such a fool be compared to Ning Wengui?
Seeing that Ning Wenyue's hands were still showing signs of being restless, Lü Mei quickly pressed his hands down, forced a smile, and said, "Your Highness, let's go in and see what the Crown Prince and Miss Lin are planning to do."
Ning Wenyue felt a little regretful when she pressed his hand down. Although Lü Mei was his fiancée, he didn't have many opportunities to get close to her on a regular basis.
"Alright, then so be it. But you have to promise to get Miss Lin for me within the next few days, otherwise I'll feel too embarrassed to kill my own brother so quickly!" Ning Wenyue said shamelessly, his eyes narrowed.
However, on this point, Lü Mei's thoughts coincided with his, and she readily nodded in agreement.
She wanted to see if Shen Shengzi would still want Lin Zhao, the Fairy Wangshu, after she had been defiled by a good-for-nothing, and whether Ning Wengui would still regard her as a goddess.
Lin Zhao was naturally unaware that Ning Wenyue and Lü Mei had such thoughts about her. At this moment, she was looking at the exhibition booth on the third floor of the auction house, praising it repeatedly.
"As expected of royal support, the items on this display stand have almost gathered all the materials I need."
Ning Wengui smiled slightly and instructed the staff to prepare everything on Lin Zhao's list.
"Swipe this card." Lin Zhao handed over a black card with purple spiritual energy. This kind of card has at least 500,000 low-grade spirit stones on it. Generally, only some Golden Core stage cultivators are qualified to have it. Of course, young masters of aristocratic families like Lin Zhao are also qualified to have it.
Ning Wengui did not accept it: "I have already troubled Miss Lin to solve my leg problem, how can I let you spend more money?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao took the card back. "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'm broke right now, but I'll give you a nice gift when I have the money."
Lin Mang secretly slipped this card to her; otherwise, as the young master of a prestigious family, she wouldn't even have enough money to buy medicinal herbs.
They have been exploited terribly by Yunding Mountain over the years.
Lin Zhao wanted to cry about it.
Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Ning Wengui's purple eyes softened, and he smiled, "That's more like the you I know. Do you remember when we were kids, we went out and messed up someone's stall and had to pay compensation? You would rather do manual labor to pay off the debt than pay any money yourself. I ended up paying for it."
Lin Zhao recalled the days when she and Lin Mang were quite poor because Yao Yun was the sole breadwinner for the family of three when she was a child, and sighed, "It seems I can't hold my head high in front of you because I'm rich."
