The Marchioness Yongning froze. It seemed Shen Shuyue had failed to gain the favor of Prince An—what a useless creature! To possess such a beautiful face yet fall so far short of Mu Jinxia!
"I did all of this for the Marquis Manor, for your own sake! With Prince An visiting the manor, it was such a golden opportunity. If only Yue'er could have climbed up to him, our manor wouldn't have to endure the disdain of that wretch Mu Jinxia!" The Marchioness cried out, feigning innocence.
"Prince An has gone all these years without even a concubine by his side. Do you honestly think he is a man to be swayed by mere beauty?" Shen Jingrong felt he might die of frustration at her stupidity. How could he have been so blind as to settle for such a narrow-minded, mercenary woman?
