Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1720 The Country Girl Looked Down Upon 41
Linlang didn't think Zhou Sanniang's plan would succeed.

She had done her due diligence when she chose Li Yu.

Linlang is now practicing polygamy (although in ancient times it was said to be one husband and one wife and multiple concubines, in Linlang's view as an interstellar person, as long as a man can have multiple women, that is, one person has multiple spouses. It's just that ancient men were cunning and disguised themselves by saying that they only had one wife). In the ancient world, because people generally had to get married, in order not to marry disgusting people, they would generally choose people who were not so enthusiastic about women. In this way, the other party would be unlikely to take concubines after marriage. Even if they did, they would not take concubines immediately after marriage, but after a period of time, and they would basically not do disgusting things like favoring concubines over wives.

Li Yu in this world is the same.

Not everyone is enthusiastic about romantic affairs; after all, there are always people in this world who aren't particularly interested in those kinds of things.

Li Yu could not be described as detached from worldly desires, but he was indifferent to such matters. As a member of the imperial family, he preferred playing chess. After discovering Linlang's talent for chess, he taught her how to play (in fact, Linlang knew how to play chess, but the original owner of this world did not, so Linlang pretended to have been taught by Li Yu). He often played chess with Linlang and rarely went out.

Aside from not being particularly interested in women, Li Yu has a relatively high moral standard. Therefore, even if his sister-in-law tries to seduce him, he certainly won't think he's charming and accept it like the original husband did. He will only keep his distance from Zhou Sanniang, and Zhou Sanniang will not succeed.

Linlang's guess was correct.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, they went to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to deliver gifts. On the way back, Li Yu's expression was strange. Linlang asked him what was wrong. Li Yu hesitated for a while before saying, "Stay away from your sister."

Then, probably realizing that Linlang might misunderstand her words as trying to sow discord between the sisters, she added, "I've discovered she's not a good person."

Hearing him say this, Linlang knew that Zhou Sanniang had already taken action, but she pretended not to know and asked, "What's wrong? Did she offend you?"

Li Yu hesitated whether he should speak or not, but finally said helplessly, "If you offend me, am I, a grown man, going to argue with a young girl? I won't say anything then, it's just that she...she..."

Li Yu found it difficult to speak, after all, he had never imagined that someone would be so shameless. After a long while, he finally said, "She seduced me."

After saying the most crucial thing, Li Yu's speech returned to normal. He said, "She knew I was her brother-in-law, yet she still did such a thing. Didn't she consider your feelings? Since she doesn't consider your feelings, it means she wants to hurt you. Stay away from someone who wants to hurt you, lest she do something bad to you."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Linlang feigned shock and after a long pause said, "...I really didn't expect her to be that kind of person. Okay, I'll be more careful in the future."

Seeing that Linlang was wary of her sister, Li Yu felt relieved.

When Zhou Sanniang's plan failed, she panicked. After all, if she had succeeded, Li Yu would definitely not have said anything when he returned, but if she failed, he might have said that she had seduced him. What if her sister heard this and got furious and came after her?
If her sister tells her grandfather about this, he might scold her.

And once she was scolded by her grandfather, her parents would definitely scold her too.

How could Zhou San Niang not panic at the thought of her family scolding her? She couldn't help but curse Li Yu inwardly for being so clueless about romance, refusing to accept women throwing themselves at her. If it were anyone else, she would have accepted long ago.

Fortunately, after waiting anxiously for a while without any movement from the Prince of Ying's residence, Zhou Sanniang was finally relieved, thinking that perhaps Li Yu hadn't told her sister. But soon, she realized she had been too happy, because when Linlang returned for the Mid-Autumn Festival, she ignored her.

Her heart was pounding, but she pretended to be innocent and asked Linlang privately, "Sister, why did you talk to everyone else but not me? Did I offend you in some way?"

Then her ominous premonition came true. Linlang looked at her coldly and said, "Do I need to explain what you did? You did such a thing, and you still ask me why I didn't talk to you? How could you ask me such a question?"

When Zhou San Niang heard Lin Lang say this, she obviously knew what Lin Lang had done three months ago. Her mind went blank, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

But she didn't want to admit it, so she tried to argue, stammering, "I don't understand what you're saying, sister."

Linlang sneered and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it or not. I know what happened in my heart. You'd better behave yourself, or if you anger me and I tell Grandfather and the others what you did, you'll be in big trouble."

Zhou San Niang, who had originally planned to speak ill of Linlang to her parents, such as saying that Linlang had suddenly stopped talking to her for no reason, immediately fell silent after hearing what Linlang said.

Although she could deny it, saying that she hadn't done such a thing and that Linlang and her husband had wronged her, who would believe her? Her grandfather and the others would definitely believe Linlang's words more than hers.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sanniang felt even more resentful towards Old Master Zhou and the others. After all, if Old Master Zhou and the others believed her words more than Linlang's, she wouldn't have to worry about Linlang's threats.

Why did the grandfather and others believe Linlang's words instead of hers, even though they were both granddaughters (daughters)? This favoritism made her angry.

To be honest, the reason she wanted to seduce Li Yu was not only because Li Yu was handsome and she was attracted to him, but also because marrying Li Yu would be better than marrying someone else. Another reason was that her grandfather and others doted on Linlang, which she couldn't accept. She felt that as granddaughters (daughters), why did they prefer Linlang and not her?

The thought of Linlang being loved by everyone made Zhou Sanniang want to ruin her happiness. She couldn't help but feel smug when she thought about how much pain Zhou Linlang would suffer if she seduced Li Yu.

In truth, wanting to ruin Linlang's happiness and cause her pain was actually the most important reason she seduced Li Yu; the two reasons that were on the surface were secondary.

After all, Li Yu is good-looking. Now that she has been in the capital for a while, she knows that there are many good-looking people in the capital. If she wants to marry a good-looking person, it's not that she can't.

Unexpectedly, the attempt failed. Li Yu was so fond of Zhou Linlang that he showed no interest in other women.

This realization made her feel even worse. She was already upset when she failed, but now that Linlang was targeting her, she felt even worse.

After being scolded by Linlang, Zhou Sanniang slunk away.
