Guide to raise my cutie husbands
Chapter 1869 - 1869: Why she was chosen as the crown princessOn the other hand, in the large mansion of the city lord, a woman was pacing back and forth. She was looking at the setting sun with a worried look on her face and turned to look at her husbands, “What are we supposed to do now? How can you all not pay attention to what your daughters were doing!?”
Ruan Xingmian was really worried. Everyone thought that the reason she was delaying the matter of offering the special techniques to the empress was because she was waiting for the right time and offer but the truth was that the second her daughters got wind of the fact that the empress wanted the secret techniques of their family, they actually fought over it and tore the book into three halves before running away with each half that they took.
She had asked them to return the torn halves of the book but all three of them refused. Each of them demanded only one thing: that they should be the one to deliver the full techniques of creating blue lily to the empress as well as receive the rewards.
This situation of stalemate had been dragged out for weeks and Ruan Xingmian knew that the patience of the empress was growing thin with each day. It was just a matter of time and soon she would be assassinated if her daughters didn’t stop now.
However, who asked her to give birth to three fools?
They couldn’t understand her desperation and simply thought that she was trying to force them into handing over the secret technique.
First Master Ruan flinched upon hearing the scoldings of his wife. It was not that he was not aware of how desperate his wife was but he too had no idea how to make his daughter understand that what she was doing was nothing but foolishness on her part.
The second and third masters of the family also had no idea what to do with their daughters. They had written letters and sent guards to make them understand what the situation was at present but it was like talking with a stubborn toddler!
While they were still discussing countermeasures, the dark figure on the roof disappeared and then hurried past the walls of the mansion.
In the mansion of the eldest daughter of the Ruan family,
Ever since she lost the other halves of the secret technique, Ruan Xinyan had been feeling depressed. She wanted to snatch the rest of the part of the book from her two sisters but she knew that it was not going to be easy as her sisters were not that simple to deal with.
During this period, no one dared to breathe heavily in the mansion and walked with cautious steps.
Her assistant looked at Ruan Xinyan and said to her, “Mistress, why don’t you agree to the offer that Prime Minister Zhou made to you? Even though we will lose a few benefits, we will still gain the trust and backing of the prime minister.”
A few days ago the prime minister of the court had indeed contacted them with the offer to buy only one third of the secret technique and even though the offers that were presented were not as tempting as the ones that were given to them earlier, if they continued to hold on to the remaining half of the technique, they might lose the chance to gain anything.
Anyway, this technique was useless in their hands as they had no skills or talent to continue the dual-sided embroidery and the creation of blue lily.
When Ruan Xinyan heard the words of her assistant, she was very hesitant but she knew that she had no choice. After all, what else could she do? Her sisters were not willing to hand over the rest of the techniques and her mother was also not willing to help her.
Since that was the case, then she might as well sell this technique to the prime minister and earn her backing!
What Ruan Xinyan didn’t know was that Prime Minister Zhou had already planned to buy the entire thing and had already approached her sisters; thus the ones who were being fooled were she and her sisters.
“Send the letter to Prime Minister Zhou and tell her that I am willing to sell this half of the technique, but in return she needs to deliver me the promised goods and seal,” said Ruan Xinyan.
“I understand.”
Three days later, the prime minister of the royal court received the entire technique and her lips were curled up in a delightful smile. She never thought that Ruan Xingmian would raise such foolish daughters but this was good as well.
Now she would put on a show of chasing a woman who was taking this secret technique outside the city and prove to Xien Xieren that the city lord was actually betraying them and had long joined Xien Zhenya’s forces.
Once the crime was proven, does she still have to worry about supporting those foolish women? Hah, those idiots didn’t even know that this was not just a means to climb up the ladder but also a way to survive. If not, why would Ruan Xingmian hold onto it till now?
Prime Minister Zhou had already painted a rosy picture and was prepared to make a move in the morning.
She sent the guards she had arranged for to the Big Gulf City and was prepared to give chase as long as she got the signal from her guards. However, what she did not know was that there were a set of eyes following her every move.
Thus, the second Prime Minister, Zhou, left the room after securely leaving the technique in the hands of the trusted guards; the person hiding on the roof chased after the guards almost immediately.
And soon the woman who was supposed to be sending out the signal was killed and disposed of, before the dark figure once again melted in darkness and disappeared into thin air.
