Chapter 757: Many Cheats 78
As for whether the Marquis of Xinxiang would let the wife's biological daughter enter the palace instead, his confidant and concubine would not consider it at all, because the wife often brought Cui Er Niang and the wife's biological daughter to banquets, and other families knew who Cui Er Niang's was and who reported Cui Er Niang's name. If the Marquis of Xinxiang dared to use the wife's biological daughter to impersonate and enter the palace, he would have to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and execute the entire family.

As for whether Cui Erniang would be favored, and whether being favored would be detrimental to the Madam...

Not to mention that Concubine Wang is in favor now, and no one else can snatch her favor. Even if she is favored, it is not entirely a bad thing for the Madam. After all, on the surface, the Madam is Cui Erniang's biological mother. If she is really favored by then, the honor will still belong to the Madam. If she wants to expose her background and give the honor to Aunt Han, that is impossible, because it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. I don't think they have the courage to expose their background, so whether she is favored or not, there will only be benefits for the Madam, not harm.

After thinking all this through, the nanny who was close to the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang felt more and more that what the lady had done was a great idea, and that it was indeed an unsolvable conspiracy.

They did it right away. The wife of Marquis Xinxiang put Cui Erniang's name on the selection list. By the time Marquis Xinxiang found out, the palace had already sent someone to pick up Cui Erniang to participate in the selection.

This made Aunt Han panic, and she immediately went to talk to the Marquis of Xinxiang about this matter. After all, Concubine Wang was so favored in the palace now, and no one in the palace could deal with her. If her daughter entered the palace, wouldn't her life be ruined? How could she do this? She also wanted to find a good marriage for her daughter so that she could have someone to rely on in the future. After all, if she entered the palace and suffered as a nobody, there was no need for her to exchange her child with the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang.

Cui Erniang was even more panicked. After all, her mission was to conquer Prince Anjiang, not to marry the emperor!

Besides, the Prince of Anjiang will be the emperor in the future. If she marries him and becomes a princess, she will become the empress in the future. Who would be willing to be selected into the palace and become the concubine of the old emperor now?

After all, one is the queen and the other is a concubine; one is old and the other is young, even a fool would know how to choose.

So Cui Erniang asked Aunt Han to talk to the Marquis of Xinxiang about this matter and asked her to find a way to cancel the talent show.

Aunt Han herself didn't want her daughter to suffer in the palace, so she naturally agreed with Cui Erniang's idea. Even without Cui Erniang telling her, she was going to find Marquis Xinxiang to cry about this.

Aunt Han immediately went to find the Marquis of Xinxiang and cried, saying that she was reluctant to let her daughter enter the palace. If she was favored in the future, it would be fine, and they might still meet someday. But if she was not favored and had no right to see her family, then they would be separated forever. How could this be possible?

Xinxiang Hou naturally thought so too. Of course, the main reason was that there was a favorite concubine in the palace now, and his own daughter would be cannon fodder if she went in, so it would be better for her to marry someone outside.

In fact, the Marquis of Xinxiang had just heard about this and was naturally angry. After listening to Aunt Han's crying, he found the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang and questioned her: "Why didn't you ask me before reporting the second mother's name?!"

The wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang said emotionally according to the words she had prepared before, with an expression of "I sacrificed my daughter for the family", "I am worried because the Marquis's Mansion has fallen on hard times. It just so happens that our daughter is pretty and the palace is holding a beauty contest, so I submitted her name. If our daughter is favored in the future, our family will become rich."

When the Marquis of Xinxiang heard her say this, he thought that she didn't know that Cui Erniang was not her daughter, so she did this for the sake of the family, so his anger subsided a little, but he still accused her: "Even if it was for the family, you should have told me, how could you act on your own!"

Seeing the angry look of the Marquis of Xinxiang, the wife seemed a little confused. She blinked and said, "It's a good thing to let my daughter sacrifice for the family. I thought the master would definitely agree, so I reported her name. Why does the master look unhappy? I really don't understand." When the Marquis of Xinxiang heard what the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang said, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He thought that he had to control his temper, otherwise his wife would find out something was wrong. So he looked unhappy and said, "I'm not unhappy because you didn't discuss this important matter with me."

The wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang hurriedly apologized with a smile, saying, "It is my fault. I will be more careful next time."

Seeing that the wife of Marquis Xinxiang looked honest, although Marquis Xinxiang was very angry, he could not say anything. After all, she was doing it for the good of the mansion. What could he say?
So this matter is completely like a dumb person eating bitter herbs, with no way to express the pain.

She could only hope that her daughter would fail in the selection and be sent back from the palace.

Seeing the determined look on Marquis Xinxiang's face, the wife of Marquis Xinxiang could not help but feel delighted. Her furious mood after learning that this pair of scum had replaced her daughter instantly improved a lot.

Then think and wait, don’t think that this is the end, there will be plenty of times in the future when you will suffer!
Although the Marquis of Xinxiang could curse his wife as much as he wanted, as his wife thought, he did not dare to tell the emperor that his daughter would not take part in the selection and applied to withdraw the name. After all, if he had registered and then withdrew the name, what did it mean? Did he look down on the emperor or did he want to make fun of him?

The Xinxiang Marquisate was already in a state of decline, so how could they dare to anger the emperor? Naturally, they could only leave it to their fate.

And as expected, just as the confidant's companion thought, the Marquis of Xinxiang did not do what some ancient sayings said, saying that he loved his legitimate daughter and let the concubine's daughter (the biological daughter of the wife) replace the legitimate daughter (the biological daughter of Aunt Han) to enter the palace, because this was impossible. It was as if the palace would not check the identities and let anyone come in at will. If the management was so lax, an assassin could come in with a different identity and kill the emperor, wouldn't that be unacceptable?

Cui Erniang was furious when she saw that she couldn't cancel the talent show. She ignored the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang until she was dragged to participate in the election.

There is no need to worry that this behavior will make people feel strange. She can just say that she doesn't want to enter the palace at all, so she is angry.

Although she didn't want to enter the palace, she didn't dare to cause trouble deliberately when participating in the selection, so as not to anger the palace and then punish the Xinxiang Marquis' Mansion. That would be bad. Even if she lost the selection and something happened at home, it would not be a good thing for her. At least, if something happened at home, it would be almost impossible for her to marry the Prince of Anjiang. After all, he was a prince, and she could marry him with any conditions. Why would she marry someone with a family problem?

Before entering the palace, Marquis Xinxiang had warned her about this matter, saying that even if she was angry, she should not try to cause trouble, lest she anger the palace and suffer a bad end.

Cui Erniang was not stupid. She naturally knew the horror of imperial power in that era, so she listened to him.

However, she felt that even if she didn't cause trouble, if she didn't perform actively, she would definitely be eliminated and would not enter the palace. She didn't think that with so many people participating in the beauty pageant, she could enter the palace.

But she apparently forgot that her background made it unlikely that she would be defeated.
