Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Helian Guang Yao was greatly irritated at the sight of her behavior. He was especially embarrassed when his wife enthusiastically greeted the others.

When he married Su Yan Mo into his family, some people in the Capital’s social circle looked down on him.

It was only when his influence gradually grew that people slowly forgot about it.

No matter how great the Su family was, they were still incomparable to the Helian family as they were a genuine aristocratic family.

Primitively, time was necessary to nurture some qualities.

He used to think that Su Yan Mo was the type of woman that a man needed the most. She was gentle and understood how to react according to circumstances.

However, she was still a mere maiden from a small family.

These maidens from a weaker background were indeed pitiful when they were younger.

However, Helian Guang Yao could no longer tolerate it when she still behaved in this manner.

This would remind him of his affectionate little mistress. Compared to her, he felt that Su Yan Mo was increasingly needy.

Su Yan Mo did not want to start a fight with Helian Guang Yao outside. She absolutely forbid herself from arguing openly with a man.

She unconsciously softened her voice, “Old Master, I was merely very worried for Jiao Er.”

“Did I not advise you to wait? It won’t be too late to do all this when I truly acquire the right to inherit the Helian family,” Helian Guang Yao’s attitude was coated with annoyance.

Naturally, Su Yan Mo was not pleased.

Helian Guang Yao glanced at her again and added, “You should go back and mull over it. Come out when you have thought things through.” As he said this, he called for his servants, “Send madam back.”

“Yes, sir,” the servant lowered his gaze and walked over to Su Yan Mo respectfully, “Let us return first, Madam.”

Su Yan Mo stared at Helian Guang Yao’s back, a venomous look darted through her lowered gaze as she clenched her fists. However, she had no choice but to follow the servant and return.

Helian Jiao Er was waiting in the room when she saw the gloomy look on Su Yan Mo, but she was not sure what had happened.

When she mentioned the name ‘Helian Wei Wei’, Su Yan Mo flung the cup of tea in her hand and shouted, “Don’t bring up that little whore’s name!” It was all that whore’s fault that the three of them were forced into this position! She wanted nothing but to strangle that whore to death!

“Listen to me, Mother. This time we can make sure that this little whore can never recover...” Helian Jiao Er moved nearer to Su Yan Mo and told her all the information she had.

Su Yan Mo’s eyes brightened upon hearing it. She pondered for a while and ordered the previous servant, “Go to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs and bring Minister Li Meng here.”

Li Meng was a distant relative of the Su family in Jiang Nan.

He was transferred to the capital recently. The Su family gave him a lot of support in his work as well as advancement in his career.

Prime Minister Su placed him in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs so that he would one day be useful to the Su family.

Obviously, Su Yan Mo would not let this chance slip away. When it was time for her pawns to make a move, she would command them accordingly.

When Li Meng heard the news from the servant, he immediately came to the General’s residence.

He had helped Madam Su in completing countless things. He was the one who spread the rumors about Helian family’s eldest young lady deep into the imperial court.

When the ministers heard the rumors, they would naturally forbid their son from marrying such a profligate and ugly woman into their families.

After the rumors reached the Murong Residence, Helian Wei Wei was consequently divorced. He had played a major part in this scandal.

However, he could not understand the reason why Helian Wei Wei would suddenly become the Third Princess Consort, even after mulling over it for a long time.

Later, he heard that the Third Prince was simply playing along with the Retired Emperor.

However, even if it was to play along with the Retired Emperor, he could have married his cousin. Every man could not help but fall for her beauty. Why would he pick that hideous woman?

He contemplated in silence but he did not dare to ask at all. He simply listened attentively to Su Yan Mo’s order.

“Go and investigate this place.” Su Yan Mo gave him an address.

Li Meng looked at the address on the papyrus. It was merely a village outside of the Capital so he paid little attention.

“Go and investigate this place tonight. If you find any weapons inside, bring it back to the government office.” Su Yan Mo let out a breath, her tone was calm, “To you, this might be a great opportunity that had fallen from the sky directly into your lap.”

A great opportunity that had fallen from the sky? Li Meng did not understand, “Madam Su, please fill me in.”

“What could one be scheming by producing a large number of weapons outside the Capital?” Su Yan Mo gave a laugh, “You can play the role of a minister who received information on an act of treason. Think about it. If you confiscate all the weapons and capture the traitors, wouldn’t it give you great merit?”

When Li Meng heard her words, his eyes glimmered, “I wonder who had the audacity to manufacture such a large amount of weapons?”

“Who else could it be?” Su Yan Mo sneered, “She thinks she can do anything she wants because she is a princess consort now. Nobody would have cared if she started Wei Ze World. However, she was simply too greedy and ruthless, not knowing how to be content with what she has. She is definitely harboring an evil plan by manufacturing so many weapons discreetly.”

Li Meng let out a small ‘ah’ and hesitated, “It’s... it’s the Third Princess Consort?”

“So what if it’s her?” Su Yan Mo’s features darkened. She gave Li Meng a cold look and blew her nails as she laughed, “Looks like I overanalyzed it. This would be great merit and since you are my relative, you are the first person I think of. However, you can forget it if you are not up for it. It’s not like the Ministry of War would not receive the information soon anyway.”

Li Meng wiped his sweat and said hurriedly, “No, no, no, I was sluggish and could not react in time. However, as for the Third Prince...” In the end, he was simply afraid of provoking that godly man.

“Everyone in the Capital knows the reason why the Third Prince married that girl. Do you think the Third Prince will still care about the girl after everything that has happened?” Su Yan Mo took another sip of tea. “Since ancient times, only the imperial court has the right to manufacture weapons in large quantities in this world. This was to prevent anyone from secretly keeping an army and plotting treason. If the Third Prince tried to protect Helian Wei Wei, their crime would be greater. Think about it, which Emperor would let his son own such a large amount of weapons? A wise man like the Third Prince would find ways to stay out of it and not stand up for Helian Wei Wei. Besides, once a prince reaches a certain age, they will need to marry a secondary consort. Jiao Er would definitely stand out from the others with her beauty. You should think about it carefully and make up your mind.”

Li Meng was never a righteous person. Even though he was not very adept at his job, he was quick-witted. He had always found opportunities to climb up the career ladder. All these years, he completely relied on his distant aunt to survive in the Capital. Meanwhile, his aunt was able to have such a lavish life because her daughters were profoundly popular in the entire Capital.

They might have encountered some problems, however, if they did it according to his aunt’s methods, he believed that it will be solved in no time...
