Unfortunately, with Old Master Wu's anger, he fell ill. The huge Wu Residence needed someone to control it. With Wu Xiaofei's recommendation, Shangguan Wan rose to the top and became the Wu Residence's matriarch.
After all, she was the one who solved this problem.
Although Master Wu was sick, he still ordered Shangguan Wan, ”That pair of adulterers, get your father killed.”
”Yes.” Shangguan Wan replied obediently.
However, in reality, she had only put on an act and secretly let the two of them go. They were having an affair, but they didn't die from the crime. They were still giving each other a chance to survive.
The eighth concubine was puzzled. ”Why did you help me?”
Was this woman a fool? He had even framed her before and she was now secretly letting him go. Was there something wrong with her head?
Otherwise, this would be a conspiracy, but it didn't seem like it. He was already a prisoner, and his life and death were in her hands. There was no need for her to plot anything on him.
”No reason.” Shangguan Wan replied indifferently. If there was really a reason, it would be that saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda.
Afterwards, she watched as the carriage slowly left in the darkness of the night.
Without Old Master Wu working hard at the Wu Residence, that trash, Wu Xiaofei, would not be able to hold on.
Shangguan Wan's ultimate goal was to completely destroy the family, and Wu Xiaofei only knew how to spend money, not how to make money. Thus, the Wu Residence was getting worse with each passing day.
However, she was the only one who knew this. Wu Xiaofei was unaware of this and continued to squander his money as usual.
”Mistress, the account office is going to be empty soon.” She went to Shangguan Wan's side and offered her a cup of tea.
”Really? That's good.” Shangguan Wan accepted the tea and smiled proudly.
”If Wu Xiaohu knew about this, would he suspect you?” After all, it was her master who was in charge of the Wu Residence. To be honest, her master's actions were really venting her anger.
Shangguan Wan gave her a reassuring smile. ”He doesn't have that much of a brain.”
”Oh, oh.” ”Then, Master, when will we be able to leave in one piece?” After entering the Wu Residence for so long, he wondered how the emperor was doing outside. The emperor must have been thinking too much about the Empress.
”It's almost time. Once we've found the official supporting the Wu Residence, we'll be done for.” Her goal was clear. To eliminate harm for the common people was her responsibility.
”Niang niang, if you have any other requests from now on, feel free to tell me. This servant will definitely help you settle them properly.”
What happened that night could be considered to be a great achievement for her.
Just then, Wu Xiaofei walked in with big steps, puzzled. ”Empress? Why do you call the beauties the empress? ”
”Reporting to master, it's because my master is beautiful, but in this servant's heart, she's even more beautiful than King Zhou's Da Ji. That's why this servant calls her 'Empress'.” Suddenly, an idea came to her mind and she came up with such an answer.
Obviously, what he said was in accordance with Wu Xiaofei's intentions. Indeed, their own beauties were not ordinary beauties, and they were smart and capable, so it would not be excessive to call her ”Empress”.
But Shangguan Wan was stunned. King Qinguang's Da Ji? It was also a fox spirit.
That vixen was really powerful, a beauty that could topple empires. Compared to her, which one of them was better?
But at the moment, she didn't think that her actions had harmed Xuan Xin's Jiang Han. She was only helping Nangong Yu destroy NATO.
”Good, from now on, just call the beauty 'Empress'. It's pretty good, pretty good.” Wu Xiaofei smiled as he approached Shangguan Wan, waving his hand to signal the servant girl to stand down.
Even though she knew her master's capabilities, she wasn't worried at all. She believed that her master would take good care of her.
