Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1734 The Country Girl Looked Down Upon 55
After the Princess Consort of Jin's plan to deal with Zhou San Niang failed this time, she did not stop making trouble for Zhou San Niang.

Actually, she couldn't find the person secretly stopping her, and she was very anxious. Logically, she shouldn't continue to act, but should lie low and investigate who was ruining her plans, so as not to continue to act. If the person in the shadows couldn't stand it anymore and didn't just stop her, but exposed what she had done, then she would be in trouble.

However, Princess Jin felt that the person who was secretly stopping her might be helping Zhou San Niang. After all, it was when she was about to harm Zhou San Niang that the person ruined her plan, causing it to fail and preventing Zhou San Niang from getting into trouble.

If the other party wants to protect Zhou Sanniang, and she continues to cause trouble for Zhou Sanniang, could she lure the snake out of its hole and make that person take action again so that she can find the person who is secretly causing trouble for her?
This is why Princess Jin dared to continue causing trouble for Zhou San Niang even after her plan to deal with her failed and she suspected that someone was secretly watching her – she wanted to lure the snake out of its hole.

Although luring the snake out of its hole is dangerous, since what if the other party really knows what she did and instead of stopping her, exposes her past actions, she will be in trouble. But she can only gamble, betting that the other party doesn't have any dirt on her and only knows that she is causing trouble for Zhou Sanniang, which is why she is risking continuing to cause trouble for Zhou Sanniang.

Linlang was pleased to see that Princess Jin's plan had failed once, yet she still dared to cause trouble for Zhou San Niang. After all, she had previously worried that if she had stopped Princess Jin's plan, Princess Jin would know that someone was secretly watching her, and she would not dare to act. She did not expect that the other party would still dare to act, which naturally pleased Linlang. After all, she still wanted Princess Jin to deal with Zhou San Niang.

Later, when Princess Jin caused trouble for Zhou San Niang, Linlang didn't interfere since it didn't affect the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Princess Jin became frustrated when she saw that the people in the shadows hadn't reacted at all to her troubles with Zhou San Niang. She wondered what was going on with these people in the shadows. Weren't they supposed to be protecting Zhou San Niang? So why hadn't they helped Zhou San Niang at all lately? After all, Zhou San Niang had been treated quite badly by her recently.

Zhou San Niang was unaware that it was Princess Jin who was plotting against her. Princess Jin had disguised herself, making Zhou San Niang believe that the other concubines were jealous of her favor and were causing her trouble. This infuriated her. She felt that the Prince and Princess of Jin's mansion were all good people, but the women in the harem were despicable for targeting her. So she was frantically trying to get revenge, but she didn't know who was behind it or what her target was. All she could do was be filled with rage.

Another imperfection is that we don't have children.

But at this moment, her servant had been expelled from the palace for disgracing the family by having an affair. The new servants no longer encouraged her to do this, and she dared not mention it to anyone, fearing that the people around her might not be trustworthy and that the news might spread. So she dared not casually mention this to the new servants.

Since the matter wasn't mentioned, it was basically impossible for her to arrange a sperm donation on her own, which made her feel depressed. She really wanted a child, but she was afraid that if she acted recklessly, she would be discovered like that servant, and then she would be finished.

Without children and being harassed by others, Zhou Sanniang has been having a tough time lately. She thought she had finally arrived in a good place and was about to start enjoying life, since she had become a concubine of a prince and the Princess Consort of Jin was so kind to her. But it turns out that every family has its own troubles.

Needless to say, my second aunt's family was a mess. That old hag had always treated me badly, making me unhappy there. Then, when I moved to the Prince of Jin's residence, where I was supposed to have a higher status and a kind and gentle principal wife, the Prince of Jin was infertile, and his concubines were no pushovers either. As a result, I was still unhappy in the Prince of Jin's residence. It was truly frustrating.

Leaving aside the fact that Zhou Sanniang was still being harassed by the Princess Consort of Jin, Linlang didn't bother with it since it didn't involve the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. She only mentioned that after the deaths of the Princess Consort of Ying and Consort Liu, the Prince of Ying did not remarry and the head of the household became the Heir Apparent's wife. As a result, the mansion was much quieter now, unlike the bloody and turbulent times before.

Of course, the main reason was that the King of England's attitude was very firm—not marrying a new queen meant that the crown prince's position was stable, and since it was stable, everyone would naturally stop fighting over it. Therefore, the King of England also bore some responsibility for the chaos in the palace before. After all, if the King of England had assured the Queen that he would not marry a new queen if she died first, the Queen would not have been so anxious, and those previous upheavals would not have occurred.

Of course, given the precedent of the Prince of Jin's residence, even if the Prince of Ying made a guarantee, the Princess of Ying might not believe it. The damage caused by the Prince of Jin's residence was catastrophic.

In fact, this generation of King is the last of the Princes of England; the next generation will be Princes of Wales. This may be why the competition for the title is not so fierce.

Of course, although the next heir will be a prince, he will still be the head of the clan, and the majority of the family's assets will still go to him.

Although royal law stipulates that inheritances should be divided equally to prevent the emergence of large families, there are always ways to circumvent policies. Many families divide their property before they die, so there's no need to worry about not dividing it properly. After the head of the family passes away, if the main branch wants the lion's share, the other branches will demand that all the property be divided equally according to royal law.

This is why Consort Liu still coveted the title of Prince, even though the heir could only be a county prince. Since the family's wealth would basically go to the heir, and with the title of county prince, how could Consort Liu not be tempted?

As a result, his ambitions didn't match his abilities, and that's how he lost everything.

Now that the King has made the decision not to appoint a successor, he understands the thoughts of others who want to seize the position of successor or even the position of heir. Otherwise, after the death of the Queen Consort, the palace would not be peaceful, but the struggle would be even more intense.

In fact, when the Princess Consort had just passed away, several concubines in the household who had sons and were somewhat favored were indeed eager to become the next consort, hoping that they could then secure the position of heir apparent for their sons.

As a result, the King quickly transferred the stewardship to the Crown Princess and stated that he would not appoint another wife, which dispelled most of the concubines' burgeoning ambitions.

Although not completely dispelled, some people still believe that anything is possible and feel that it's worth a try. They can't just believe the King of England's statement that he won't appoint a new consort. They think, what if they can move the King of England and he's willing to appoint them as his consort? Then there's still a good chance of success.

However, due to the King's attitude, things have calmed down considerably in the mansion, which is something Linlang is happy to see.
