Cannon Fodder Counterattack System

As soon as Chu Yue returned to the Capital, he was dragged by the crown prince who had been waiting in the dark for a long time to discuss their big plans day and night. Now, the emperor has been lying on the bed for a long time, and everyone could discern that his time is coming. After all, he has been addicted to the beauty of the harem for so many years, and his body had long weakened. This time, they were afraid that the difficulty could not be overcome.

Frankly, at this point, the crown prince didn’t care too much about whether the emperor was dead or alive. Even the emperor’s death one day earlier would be more beneficial to him.

After all, his sixth brother has been really aggressive on him recently, and many ministers in the court have been in contact with several other princes either overtly or covertly after seeing that his limelight was not right. For them, instead of relying on the righteous crown prince, it was better to help the other princes who have their own advantages.

But the crown prince has been in business for so many years, and naturally, his situation was not like what some people think. The prime minister of the court, the imperial censor, etc. had all stood on his side long ago, and with the military power in Chu Yue’s hands, he had the best chance of winning.

He was not worried about the other princes robbing him, because he was the crown prince, and he was justifiable to inherit the throne. Even if he ends up fighting, the world can’t say anything to him. Now, the only thing he was worried about was that the emperor will temporarily issue a will to pass the throne to others, because in that way, he will have to use all the forces in his hand to snatch the throne, but even if he succeeds in ascending to a high position, it will always leave a stain in the history books.

Therefore, the military power in Chu Yue’s hands was the only guarantee for him, and it was not a weapon that can be used if it was not the last resort.

Of course, Chu Yue knew this, and it was precisely because he had very few things to do that he had the patience to deal with the little friend who has completely changed over the years.

Although in his mind, instead of spending time here discussing the strategy to defeat the enemy, he might as well go to his lover, even if it was watching him sleep! It was also much more fun than it is now.

Speaking of which, he didn’t know how the preparations for what he ordered were going on.

He really wanted to marry that boy home right away…

    ====

Ye Sinian didn’t seem eager to get married. The Marquis Mansion was so interesting, and Madam Xue tried so hard to put on a good show for him, how could he not stay and watch the show?

Compared to his calmness, Madam Xue was much more anxious. She had already heard the news that Duke Zhong’s mansion was preparing for the marriage. Although Duke Zhong, Chu Yue, had not been seen at the gate of the Marquis Mansion since he returned to the Capital. Now, who didn’t know that Du Qinghuan and Chu Yue were a couple?

The Marquis was gnashing his teeth with anger at Chu Yue, who didn’t give face at all, but with Chu Yue’s identity, and in front of the emperor’s holy purpose, he didn’t even have the chance to find an excuse to cancel the marriage! But thinking that the crown prince was not without a chance, he had to hold his nose and wait for Du Qinghuan to marry off quickly so that he would not be bothered by the sight.

Father Du can bear this breath, but how can Madam Xue bear it?

Not to mention the price of completely offending the Lin Mansion, she couldn’t bear the dowry that Du Qinghuan wanted to take away! As Marquis Mansion, if they didn’t want to be embarrassed, the dowry must be very generous, but as long as she thinks that the warehouse under her control will soon be vacated, she was bleeding in her heart!

Their marriage must be ruined!

Didn’t know if it was God’s will or not. When Madam Xue was having a headache about how to destroy the marriage between Du Qinghuan and Chu Yue, Madam Wang, whose family had been doing business for generations and had just moved to the Capital came to visit.

Madam Xue was having a headache, and in front of this cousin who was married to a businessman, she didn’t have any pretense, she squeezed the handkerchief while rubbing her brows and said, “One never goes to a Buddhist temple for no reason, what are you doing here this time?”.

Madam Wang covered her lips and smiled, with a somewhat flattering expression: “Didn’t I come here to ask my sister for help?”

“Oh? Help?” Madam Xue raised her eyes and glanced at her, a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes. It wasn’t her looking down on the businessman’s wife, but because her cousin was too cowardly. Although the Wang family was a businessman, it still has a foundation. If it was her, she naturally wants to get rid of the son of the original spouse and firmly hold the family property in her hands.

But Madam Wang was extremely useless. Not only could she not get rid of the child of the first wife, but she was also pinched by the son of the first wife, and she couldn’t even win over her husband. Didn’t know how many young and beautiful concubines have been added to the back house over the years.

If it weren’t for the expansion of the business scope recently, the Wang family would not have brought their family to the Capital. Her cousin could only spend her whole life in that small rural place.

 There was a trace of embarrassment on Madam Wang’s face, but when she thought of her purpose this time, she endured the anger in her heart and said softly: “Sister also knows that the eldest son of our family is a beauty lover. Hearing that Young Master Du’s appearance is the best in the Capital, he has a careful thought…”

Madam Xue’s disdainful attitude changed instantly, her eyes lit up, and her eyes looked fiery at her cousin who had just entered the Capital.

 Madam Wang’s heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, “Sister, what’s wrong?”

Madam Xue’s mind changed, and she immediately made a plan in her heart. Hearing this, she hurriedly squeezed her handkerchief and covered her lips with a smile: “What’s wrong with that? The two of us are direct relatives, and it would be a good idea to become in-laws!”

“That’s right!” Madam Wang’s trembling heart was settled, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said tentatively: “Sister, when is the best time to settle this matter?”

“This…” Madam Xue rolled her eyes, deliberately asking, “Sister, you don’t know! Although I am the madam of Marquis Mansion, all in all, Du Qinghuan is the son of the first wife, so I can’t force it! And Huan’er is not a person open to persuasion. If he was to marry the son of a businessman, he will definitely not be willing! This is not easy to do!”

Madam Wang’s heart that was already put down suddenly came up again, thinking of what would happen if the eldest son was not satisfied, she couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed: “How can this be done?”

“How about this?” Madam Xue’s eyes flashed, there was a trace of viciousness but the smile on her face became more kind : “Tonight, you let the eldest son of your family sneak into the Marquis Mansion through the back door, and I will arrange for him to meet Huan’er. Young people, don’t they have a good impression after getting in touch after a few times?”

Madam Wang’s eyes lit up, and she said happily: “Sister’s idea is really good! As long as they meet, whatever the final result can not be blamed on me!”

Madam Xue raised her handkerchief to cover the disdain on her lips, smiled, and nodded.

Ye Sinian leaned lazily by the window, flipping through the beautifully written poems in front of him.

Strictly speaking, the original owner, Du Qinghuan’s life wasn’t that bad. He was pampered since he was a child, and he never endured hardship. He was full of fantasies about love and marriage. In fact, he had the best fantasies for the fiancé he hadn’t met. He put all the love stories in the book he had heard on him, and he blushed every time…

In his heart, Chu Yue should be the world’s most beautiful, powerful, and gentle person who treats him the best! But after hearing that Chu Yue was defeated and disfigured, his illusion was shattered, so he proposed to terminate the engagement at the instigation of his stepmother, and met another gentle and elegant young master under the arrangement of his father…

Madam Xue’s wish was granted. She has cultivated a delicate flower that cannot stand the wind and rain.

But now, this delicate flower has become a piranha.

Ye Sinian evoked a wicked smile, waved to the servant who had been bowing beside him, and said, “Got it, go down and prepare.”

The middle-aged woman whole body tremble and hurriedly agreed, bow her head, and went away. Not even have the courage to look up at him.

 Who would have guessed that Young Master Du, who had no means in the past, had secretly mastered the entire Marquis Mansion backhouse? Madam still thinks that she works flawlessly, but she didn’t know that her every move was in the hands of Young Master Du.

Thinking of what she was about to do, the middle-aged woman clenched her fists.

If it wasn’t for madam’s actions, she would not have lost her child. The madam got her wish to eradicate the unsightly concubine, but she will never have children in her life!

Pity her unborn child. She has waited for so many years, and finally she can take revenge!

Seeing her confidant walking into the room with a happy face, Madam Xue’s eyes lit up and she asked with a smile, “How is it?”

“Madam, don’t worry!” The middle-aged woman patted her chest and said rather complacently, “Madam still didn’t know how this servant doing things? She must have followed your instructions properly!”

“Really? No one has seen it, right?” Madam Xue was still a little worried, after all, this matter was very important if she can’t succeed, she have to find another opportunity, but there was not much time left for her.

“There are not many people in the small kitchen. We have bought all the people in it, and there are no outsiders when the slaves go!”

“That’s good, you pay attention, it won’t take long for the medicine to take effect, you have to let someone bring that young master of the Wang family over in time!” Madam Xue scrutinized the beautifully trimmed and rounded nails, and instructed.

“Yes, Madam! I’ll do it beautifully! When the raw rice is cooked, we’ll immediately take someone to catch the thief!”

“It’s good to know!” Madam Xue raised her eyebrows and smiled. It looked like everything was ready except the east wind: “Go down, ask someone to prepare, and in the evening we will go to catch the adulterer and the prostitute! I want to see, a dissolute ger who has lost his virginity and lost his innocence. How can he marry into the Duke Zhong Mansion!”

Still want a dowry? ! Think beautifully!

When the limelight was over, she will no longer be soft-hearted! She will definitely take the opportunity to kill him, when the time comes, just say that the Du family’s young master didn’t have the face to see the world and commit suicide!

Thinking that the unsightly nail could finally be removed, Madam Xue heaved a sigh of relief, waved her hand, and commanded, “Set the meal!”

The middle-aged woman with a flattering smile on her face hurriedly agreed and retreated. Madam Xue sat high at the top, did not notice the hatred in her downcast eyes.

A bowl of boiled soft glutinous lotus seed soup, Madam Xue eat it all in a while, she pursed her lips, nodded her head in appreciation and said, “This lotus seed soup is well prepared tonight!”

“Thank you for madam’s appreciation!” The confidant smiled and packed up the tableware and said, “Madam, it’s getting late, presumably the effect of the medicine has already started. Shall we go to see the fun?”

“That’s a good idea!” Madam Xue nodded, suddenly feeling a little hot, she shook her head and chuckled to herself. She was so excited to caught Du Qinghuan’s ugly act.

In order to get out from this incident, Madam Xue only brought one confidant, and the two of them lit lanterns and walked down the path to the small courtyard where Du Qinghuan lived.

But only halfway through, Madam Xue felt the heat was unbearable.

She took the handkerchief and fanned it to no avail, so she frowned and said to her confidant: “This weather is really hot, you go back and get me a fan first, I’ll wait for you in this pavilion.”

A hint of joy flashed in the confidant’s heart. She was worried and didn’t know how to get out! So he hurriedly said, “Yes, Madam!”

Seeing her confidant hurried away, Madam Xue felt hotter and hotter, she couldn’t help tugging at her collar, and walked into the pavilion covered with curtains.

But the confidant didn’t go back to get the fan as she was ordered. She turned a corner and walked to the small door to intercept the eldest son of the Wang family who was sneaking behind his servant.

Smiling and bowing, the middle-aged woman said in a low voice, “Oh, I found you! Young Master Wang, come with me!”

Thinking that he would see the most beautiful ger in the capital soon, Young Master Wang was sweating with excitement. Hurriedly answer: “Coming, coming!”

After walking for a while, the two saw a four-cornered pavilion in front of them, the breeze blew through the curtains, and the atmosphere became wilted in an instant.

Young Master Wang swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of urgency: “Is the beauty inside?” 

In the darkness, the confidant’s eyes were full of the excitement of getting revenge, she took a deep breath and said: “This is natural! Young Master Wang can go in!”

“Thank my aunt on my behalf!” Young Master Wang felt his heart pounding for a while, he rubbed his hands, and couldn’t wait to go to the pavilion…
