The popular girl transmigrates into a supporting female character, and she specializes in seducing t

"Alright, look at you. There's nothing to do at home today, so you and your mother can go to the shop for a stroll."

Seeing Sang Ling blushing, Sang Chengfeng, in a great mood, was very generous and directly transferred one thousand taels of silver from his account.

Sang Ling was also full of anticipation for the marriage proposal a few days later. Upon hearing the news, she did not hesitate at all, and took Li Shi in a carriage to leave the house and go on a shopping spree at the most famous shop in Sang City.

Originally, Madam Li had planned to have Sang Huan bring out the token first, but seeing her daughter's excited expression, and knowing that the person was under her watchful eye and couldn't run away, she simply went along with Sang Ling's wishes and accompanied her out of the mansion to buy jewelry.

The Sang family was a well-known wealthy merchant family in the Jiangnan region, and their daughter, Sang Ling, had also gained some fame through lavish upbringing.

It was no secret that Prince Jing'an had gone south to find his fiancée. Everyone was curious about her. Upon arriving in Suzhou, he not only sent people to visit the Sang family, but also arranged to have dinner together at Tianxiang Restaurant.

Everyone felt a pang of sadness, like being scratched by a cat. Now, seeing Sang Ling so openly shopping in the store, with the shyness of a young girl still lingering in her eyes.

One of the ladies who knew her couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Sang Ling, I heard that Prince Jing'an met with your parents at Tianxiang Tower yesterday. What does the young master want with you?"

Upon recognizing the person, Sang Ling's eyes flickered, but her blush deepened.

She bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start, twisting the handkerchief in her hand into a pretzel shape.

This appearance only made the already curious young ladies even more itchy and impatient. Some who couldn't stand Sang Ling rolled their eyes and mocked her.

"What are you pretending for? Prince Jing'an is here to find his fiancée. You're not his fiancée, so why are you being so shy?"

Upon hearing this, Sang Ling, whose face had been flushed just moments before, caught her breath. She was about to retort as she always had, but remembering her current status, she shut her mouth and snorted coldly.

"I'm not the young master's fiancée, so who are you? Then why is the young master coming to the Sang residence to propose marriage in a couple of days, instead of going to your house?"

These words immediately caused an uproar, and everyone was shocked. The lady who knew the person quickly asked what had happened.

Sang Ling stopped pretending and told the whole story. The reactions of the ladies were quite interesting.

Prince Jing'an usually keeps a low profile by using a carriage, but his visit to Tianxiang Tower yesterday allowed many people to see his true appearance.

His ethereal and otherworldly beauty made many women who met him feel their hearts flutter.

Knowing that the other party was going south to find his fiancée and had even invited the Sang family out for dinner, everyone could guess what was going on.

It's one thing to guess, but it's quite another to actually hear it.

Many young ladies who had met Prince Jing'an were heartbroken after confirming the news, but seeing Sang Ling's shy face, they could only offer their congratulations with a forced smile.

The woman who had mocked her earlier couldn't save face and forced a cold laugh.

"Miss Sang has such a wonderful fiancé, yet she has never mentioned it. She's so low-key, which is quite different from your usual carefree style."

Sang Ling, relying on her favored status, has often tried to snatch jewelry from her, judging by her smug and arrogant demeanor.

With such a good marriage opportunity, how could you not speak up?

The woman's tone was tinged with doubt and a hint of resentment.

Don't say Sang Ling didn't know; if Prince Jing'an hadn't taken the initiative to come to their door, no one else in the Sang family would have known either.

Thinking of this, Sang Ling's heart instantly calmed down, and she looked at the woman with a smug look in her eyes.

"This joke was made by the elders in the family in a joking manner, but who would have thought that the young master would actually come to our door."

Instead of worrying about me here, sister, why don't you go back and ask your elders if they also unintentionally arranged a marriage when they were young? After all, people of the same status as the young master are rare.

"you!"

Girls of this age love to compare themselves to others, and they enjoy competing for jewelry. This is no exception when it comes to choosing a husband.

They were all daughters of merchants, and it wouldn't be bad if they could marry a merchant or official of high status.

Sang Ling was appointed as the Crown Prince, a position highly trusted by the Emperor. With such a comparison, it's no wonder that woman couldn't resist.

Just as she was about to say something in her anger, Li, who had finished ordering jewelry with the shopkeeper, slowly walked out.

"Hey, what's going on? Lingling, stop chatting with your girlfriends, don't forget about the important matter."

Her appearance instantly silenced those who were trying to argue back.

The crowd, who had been gossiping, scattered like birds and beasts, and in an instant, the once noisy and bustling place fell silent.

Sang Ling snorted, but at Li's invitation, she happily went over and picked out the shop's prized possessions that the shopkeeper had brought out, in preparation for the marriage proposal a few days later.

Sang Ling's words caused a great uproar in Suzhou.

No one expected that the high and mighty Prince Jing'an of the capital would actually be engaged to the daughter of the Sang family.

Moreover, he actually fell in love with Sang Ling at first sight and wanted to marry her as his crown princess! What an honor that is!

Listening to the discussions outside the city, Sang Ling, who was riding back to the mansion with Madam Li in a carriage, couldn't help but curl her lips in a smug smile.

Yes, she not only revealed her engagement to the prince, but also deliberately guided her sisters to say that the reason why the prince was in such a hurry to get engaged was because he fell in love with her at first sight at Tianxiang Tower the day before.

She spoke with certainty, and the other women had no doubts. They went back and spread the word, and the rumor that the young master would marry no one but her spread far and wide.

Because of this incident, she and Madam Li received many invitations from ladies and young women, all trying to curry favor with her.

Sang Ling and her mother went to several houses as agreed, and those families said all sorts of flattering things to please her.

Sang Ling was very pleased to hear this. What was originally a rumor meant to fool outsiders had now become something she herself believed to be true.

She hummed a little tune as she looked at the beautiful jewelry in her hands.

"Mom, what outfit should I wear for my engagement the day after tomorrow? The red one is too flashy, and the blue one is too plain. How about pink? Pink is delicate and suits my complexion."

"My Lingling looks good in everything she wears, otherwise why would the young master be in such a hurry to marry you?"

"Oh, Mother, don't tease me. No way!"

Looking at the girl's shy yet delighted expression, Li's eyes were filled with doting affection, but she did not forget her business.

"By the way, have you taken care of the things I asked you to do a few days ago?"

Sang Ling was taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening.

In an instant, the smile on her face vanished, and a flash of annoyance crossed her eyes.

"Mother, I did as you said, but..."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Li's smile slowly faded.

"But something unexpected happened."

"Yes, that person escaped."

"Why did it run away? Did you show mercy?"

Seeing her mother looking at her with such a cold, questioning gaze, Sang Ling felt somewhat wronged.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about! My heart belongs only to the Prince. That Pan fellow is nothing but a lowly commoner scholar. I was too naive to be deceived by him back then. Now I only want to kill him and wait for him to affect my relationship with the Prince! How could I possibly be soft-hearted towards him?"

Seeing the disgust and ruthlessness in his eyes, Li softened her icy tone considerably.

"So what exactly happened?"

"After my mother finished speaking two days ago, I became worried that Pan Xiucai would affect the wedding. I immediately contacted people to resolve the issue, and even called a few more people because I was worried that we wouldn't have enough."

But as soon as they arrived at Pan Xiucai's house, a man in black appeared out of nowhere. Before they could even see the man clearly, Pan Xiucai was dragged away.

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Madam Li was somewhat shocked, as the people under her command who were responsible for doing such things were all highly skilled in martial arts.

I've never failed before, how could I have failed this time...?

Moreover, Pan Xiucai was not from a wealthy family, so where did he get to befriend such a powerful figure? Could it be that the other party had connections with some underworld forces?

For a moment, Li felt a little flustered.

Sensing something was wrong with her, Sang Ling became somewhat worried.

"Mother, this..."

"It's alright. I'll contact more guards to search the city. You don't need to worry. Right now, the most important thing is your marriage to the prince. Don't worry about these things for now."

Having weathered many storms, Li remained calm and composed. Regardless of the influence of the scholar Pan, the marriage between the young master and his daughter was a done deal.

If the other party is smart, they should stay hidden obediently. If they don't behave, her subordinates aren't just sitting idly by.

"Alright, leave this to your father and me. Don't worry about it."

"Ah, okay, thank you for your hard work, Mother~"

Seeing that Li's expression had softened, Sang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and then took the initiative to throw herself into Li's arms and act coquettishly.

Looking at her obedient and submissive appearance, Madam Li felt somewhat helpless.

"You're about to become the Crown Prince's wife, how come you still have such a childish mentality?"

"So what? Just because she's the Crown Prince's wife doesn't mean she's no longer my mother."

Sang Ling spoke in a coquettish voice, and although Li scolded her, her eyes were filled with affection.

Her daughter should be this happy and joyful.

As for other troublesome matters, she, as her mother, would take care of them herself.

It's time to make a move on Sang Huan's side as well.
