The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1709: Failed to Provoke

Suddenly, Yuwen Yanyu’s pupils contracted violently, his face filled with disbelief.

If the truth was really like this, then was he always living with someone who was eyeing his position as the Crown Prince?

Yuwen Yanyu had never thought that Yuwen Xuhong would really want to take away the position of Crown Prince from his uncle or even the position of the future monarch.

After all, the relationship between them was even closer than that of the other royal brothers.

His mother and the imperial grandmother were biological sisters. Their maternal families belonged to the Chen family.

However, it was obvious that the Chen family was on his side. Furthermore, the consorts that the two of them married were also from the Ye family.

In other words, the Ye family could only support one person, and this person was the Crown Prince.

However, what if the Ye family switched sides?

Now, he was using rumours to sow discord between him, Jiang Zhennan, and Lin Yuelan.

If he hadn’t been rational enough to analyze the pros and cons in a moment, he might have been successfully instigated.

Which king could tolerate his position being coveted by others?

He was the crown prince. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the emperor of Longyan Country in a few years or more.

Therefore, he could not tolerate it. One of them had great achievements that shocked the emperor, and the other had wealth that could topple the country. The two of them were constantly threatening his throne. He definitely had to eliminate them.

However, Lin Yuelan was a shrewd woman. Once he had such thoughts, there was no doubt that she would decisively cut off all ties with him. That was equivalent to cutting off his path to the throne.

How could he do such a stupid thing?

However, someone had jumped out at this moment.

The more Yuwen Yanyu thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

He felt as if he was on the edge of a blade, and the person holding the blade was his good nephew, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

In the past, he had never been on guard against Yuwen Xuhong. However, from that moment on, he had to be more vigilant.

This was because, at any moment, this good nephew of his would stab him in the back. At that time, he would be the one regretting it.

No matter how much trust his father had in Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, at least the current situation was very beneficial to him.

He didn’t want to make things unnecessary and make the situation extremely chaotic, losing both the hearts of the people and the throne.

Yuwen Xuhong walked out of the Crown Prince’s residence with his hands tightly clenched into fists.

He had never thought that his Imperial Uncle would be so sensitive.

He had only mentioned that Imperial Grandfather trusted the two too much, and it had already aroused his suspicion.

At that time, his entire heart had dropped, and he felt uneasy.

Even now, his back was covered in sweat.

However, he quickly left the Crown Prince’s residence.

In a remote courtyard of the Imperial Grandprince Manor, Xiao Jingyu stood under a big tree with his lips tightly pursed. Then, he asked softly,” You mean that after His Highness the Crown Prince heard His Highness the Imperial Grandprince’s words, he immediately reprimanded him?!”

Standing in front of Xiao Jingyu was a man with his head lowered. He replied in a low voice,” Yes, Princess!”

Xiao Jingyu frowned slightly. She had not expected the Crown Prince’s reaction.

That was because she did not expect that the Crown Prince would be so calm after hearing the rumours of Lin Yuelan getting married in the Empress’ wedding dress.

According to her assumption, after the Crown Prince heard the rumours about Lin Yuelan and Yuwen Xuhongs words of provocation, he should have immediately suspected that Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan had the ambition to usurp the throne.

But now…

Xiao Jingyu didn’t think about it anymore. She said to this person,” You can go back first. If anything happens, you must report to me immediately. Of course,” she paused and smiled. “I will definitely not forget your reward!”

The man was delighted and kept kowtowing.” Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!”

After Xiao Jingyu left, the man who reported the situation to Xiao Jingyu raised his head.

This person was Lin Xuxing.

“It seems that the person behind the scenes who framed Master is her and not His Royal Highness, the grandprince!” Lin Xuling flew down from the tree.

Lin Xuxings face was filled with anger as she said,” This damned woman, why is she always making things difficult for Master?! Damn it. If it wasn’t for Master’s orders, I really wish I could kill her now!”

Lin Xuling sneered.” Don’t be a busybody. Master had said that she would punish the person behind the scenes eventually! If she offends our master, letting this woman die would be letting her off too easily.”

Lin Xuxing smiled and said,” That’s true. Oh, I hear that Master is coming to the capital soon.. I wonder when she will arrive?”
