They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 147 The Little Dwarf Becomes a Hot Commodity

“I’ll go and tell him myself, ‘Come on, Xuan’er, come with me to see your master.’”

Upon hearing that he was going to meet the head of the inner quarters, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

As long as he stirs up discord in the inner quarters, and then gets closer, Wu Ziyan will easily be taken down by him.

Sima Lingchuan is becoming more and more like the head of the household; he's no longer the same husband who just sat at the stone table embroidering and sighing.

When Wu Ziyan came looking for him, he was directing the servants in his household to move new things out.

He was busy because the new products he had developed last time hadn't been set up yet.

Upon seeing Wu Ziyan approaching from afar, he immediately put down what he was doing, walked up to her, and bowed respectfully.

Then his gaze fell on the stunning beauty again. Although he wavered for a moment, he still smiled.

Wu Ziyan naturally grasped Sima Lingchuan's hands, her eyes full of tenderness and affection: "Why are you personally supervising these tasks? Didn't I tell you? You don't need to be so reserved when you see me."

“I must set a good example for the people in the manor, otherwise they will also become disrespectful.” Sima Lingchuan’s gentle, sunny voice kept penetrating Wu Ziyan’s ears.

He finally asked the question: "This young man looks unfamiliar?"

"Oh, he's a lowly servant I picked up. Aren't you all carrying tables and water right now? He's here too. Oh, by the way, what's his name? Xuan'er."

Qi Zexuan smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling. He stepped forward and leaned gently against Wu Ziyan, his tenderness and affection making it impossible to tell that he was faking it.

Her voice was calm and gentle: "Your Highness, who is he? Could he be that old and unromantic househusband you mentioned?"

A slap landed on his face when he was completely unprepared. It was clear that Wu Ziyan was truly furious; her eyes were practically spitting fire.

"You bastard, who gave you the audacity to come near me? Who gave you the courage to slander Lingchuan!"

"You think you can get away with everything just because you're pretty? Do you think I'm the kind of person who's blinded by lust? I may be pretty, but I've already said it, you're not good enough for me!"

"Little Yun'er, what should be done about this insubordination? You don't need to tell me, I'm scared. You decide what to do."

Anyone who dares to gossip in front of someone she cares about doesn't care how handsome they are.

These people are a matter of life and death for her, and she likes their personalities quite a bit. What kind of people are these who are self-centered and arrogant!

Mo Baiyun underestimated Sima Lingchuan's position in Wu Ziyan's heart. He didn't expect that just because he offended her, the person he originally wanted to keep for a couple of days was gone in an instant.

"Once you've dealt with him, send him to my second sister's residence. She should really like this handsome man!"

"Yes! Master!"

Qi Zexuan hadn't yet realized what had just happened. Now, as he came to terms with it, he felt a burning pain on his face.

Just as Mo Baiyun was about to take him away, Wu Ziyan went over and patted his shoulder: "Little Yun'er, you're better at poisoning than Han Yuxiu. Feed him two of those pills, and then deliver them to her whole."

Upon hearing Wu Ziyan's words, Qi Zexuan realized that she already knew about their scheme.

Now I regret not shoving her throat during the meal; I never expected this little dwarf to have such a meticulous mind.

"By the way, you must be Qi Zexuan, the prince of Xiao Rong. I can ask your emperor for your hand in marriage, of course, for my second sister. No need to thank me too much."

When he heard his name called, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

When he heard that she was asking for his hand in marriage, the emperor of Xiaorong Kingdom, who was already in a relationship with his two siblings, turned a blind eye. They both valued strength above all else and didn't care about gender at all.

If his marriage alliance could bring benefits to the country, his stepmother, the empress, would surely agree.

"If you have the guts, kill me right here! Send me to the Second Princess's residence, and you'll regret it!"

"What can I possibly regret? Oh dear, the prince of Xiao Rong Kingdom will actually die in the residence of the Second Princess of the Five Dynasties! Heavens, how pitiful! Shouldn't we posthumously honor him?"

"Oh, by the way, Princess Xiao Rong is coming to our place on a pilgrimage. When she hears this tragic news, she will definitely cry her heart out and write back home immediately."

"Oh, it will definitely still be in the letter, along with the fact that His Highness Zexuan voluntarily submitted to the Second Princess of the Wu Dynasty!"

"When did you find out who I am?!"

"Before I met you." She casually picked at her nails, looking completely unconcerned.

That means that when they first started planning this scheme, they already had information that there was a traitor among Wu Chengye or Sima Zongcheng!

The only people who knew about this, besides his confidants, were Wu Chengye and Sima Zongcheng!

"Well, you Wu Dynasty people are cunning!"

"Stop arguing! Apply the medicine."

They simply shoved two pills into his mouth; no one knew what kind of poison they were.

Wu Ziyan suddenly felt that Qi Zexuan was really stupid. Why didn't he just kill her and be done with it? Why did he keep dawdling and acting out this whole drama with her?

"I still want to ask you, why didn't you take the opportunity to kill me when you clearly had the chance?"

"No woman has ever been unmoved by me. Your disdain and disgust for me have successfully attracted my attention! I will make you kneel at my feet, and then I will kill you!"

"...Where the hell do you get your confidence? The earth won't turn without you. I have so many handsome men around me, do you think I need one more? You're so self-righteous, arrogant, and you've only made your own mess!"

Not wanting to say anything more to him, Qi Zexuan gave Mo Baiyun a look and was stuffed into a sack.

Those who were just there, moving tables, chairs, and perfume, pretended not to hear anything. After all, they were eating at the mansion's expense, so they heard little and lived well.

Sima Lingchuan was quite clever; he wasn't upset by what he'd just heard, since he knew that Wu Ziyan wasn't that kind of person now.

"Ziyan, be careful in everything you do outside."

"Okay, Lingchuan, let's take a walk in the yard after we finish eating."

"Okay, what would you like to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to make it."

She leaned close to his ear, breathed in, and whispered, but loud enough for both of them to hear: "I want to eat you."

Although they had already gone through that kind of thing, Sima Lingchuan still couldn't help but blush.

Suddenly, the things he was holding became a mess. Mo Baiyun turned around, his eyes dim, though his hearing was excellent.

There was no other way but to vent all his anger on Qi Zexuan in front of him.

He kicked him twice. Everyone wants to seduce his master. When did shorty become such a hot commodity?
