Chapter 908: Using Lord Fang
Leng Man looked stern.
"Don't be so wishful and hope that a pie will fall from the sky and hit me on the head."
"What do you mean by a handsome man and a beautiful woman? How can this be a good match?"
"Master Fang inherited the family's aspirations and devoted himself to supporting Yue Sheng and helping Emperor Yan regain his throne. That's why he is over 40 years old and still hasn't started a family."
"Don't you think that he is attracted to me and has no interest in anyone else, and that he has waited until now just to marry me?"
Xu Yingyuan opened the lunch box, took out a plate of snacks and handed it to her mother.
"Maybe, he was waiting for you on purpose."
"Madam Xiao, a commoner anchorwoman, a humble person, married a nobleman like Jun; Lord Teng, the governor's servant, was born a slave in Ning Mansion, but married a nobleman like Jing. There are so many miracles in the world, why can't a pie in the sky fall on my mother's head?"
Leng Man picked up a small piece of mung bean cake and fed it to her daughter first, then tasted the snack herself.
"Luck has never belonged to me."
"Don't let your wishful thinking fool you. Lord Fang is using your lucky thoughts to sow discord between the Emperor and me."
Unable to persuade her, Xu Yingyuan gave up and continued to implement Ning Jiewei's plan.
"Mother didn't understand me."
Leng Man turned and looked at her.
"What do you mean? What do you mean?"
Xu Yingyuan was considerate and stood up, poured a glass of water and offered it to her mother.
"I mean, Master Fang used the beauty trap, and you can also use the beauty trap."
"Are they the only ones allowed to use tricks, and we are not allowed to make plans?"
Leng Man took the cup of water.
"What's our plan?"
Xu Yingyuan returned to her seat and told the story in detail.
"My mother has been repeatedly unsuccessful in blind dates. The emperor will certainly not be moved. His true colors will be revealed and all will be in vain."
"Rumors spread very quickly. My mother continued to go on blind dates, but the outcome was no doubt failure."
"Right now, we have a good opportunity. Why don't you seize it, mother, and use Lord Fang to make the emperor jealous?"
"This kills two birds with one stone. First, mother can gain a foothold in the harem and regain the emperor's favor; second, mother can play a trick on the enemy, making them think they have succeeded, and finally find out that they have been deceived and become furious."
Leng Man smiled bitterly.
"Hahaha, I'm using Lord Fang?"
"Listen to yourself, does this make sense?"
"Do you think that the Fang clan's reputation for more than 500 years was all for fame and reputation?"
"The Fang clan and its branches are all talented. For hundreds of years, not a single mediocre person has been seen. This is not a rumor, but a fact."
Xu Yingyuan has unique insights.
"Mother is wrong."
"In a battle of wits in the court, we are definitely not as good as Lord Fang. However, when it comes to the beauty trap and the beauty trap, which are related to love, we may not be unable to defeat him."
"Master Fang has no romantic feelings and no experience. His beauty trap is just a theory on paper. Compared with him, mother is a master."
"The Fang clan is full of extraordinary talents, there is no doubt about that. However, everyone has weaknesses, and the Fang clan is no exception. For example, Lord Fang, I think his weakness is love."
Leng Man suddenly understood everything.
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly understand."
Xu Yingyuan spoke impassionedly and gave some persuasion.
"No one dared to take you on a blind date, and you didn't fight him, while the emperor remained indifferent."
"Mother, do you plan to maintain a stalemate with the Emperor for the rest of your life?"
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but given my mother's current condition, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for her to live a long life and die a good old age."
"Mother impulsively announced that my second brother and I are the princesses and princes of the emperor, which is equivalent to making enemies with the concubines in the harem. With the current status of the Leng family, you are just a little noble lady. With just a little effort from the ladies, you will be killed without a burial place."
"Entering the palace and accompanying the emperor is imperative and urgent!"
Leng Man's face looked slightly embarrassed.
"I agree with you."
"But, Lord Fang, it is really difficult to plan."
"I'm afraid that if I get involved, I'll be played around by him."
"Are you sure he has no experience in relationships?"
Xu Yingyuan nodded.
"Of course."
"Since he returned to Prince Dijin, the master has begun to observe him, carefully, without missing any details, and after a thousand thoughts, he came to the conclusion that Lord Fang has no romantic relationship."
"I'm asking about Lord Fang's personal affairs, so I might be tricked. Don't trust me."
"What concerns does mother have about what the master thinks and says?"
Leng Man didn't understand.
"My dear son-in-law, you have nothing to do, so what is your purpose in observing whether Lord Fang has ever had a romantic relationship?"
Ning Jiewei's plan had another flaw. Xu Yingyuan rolled her eyes at Ning Jiewei in her heart.
"That, I don't know."
"How about, tomorrow morning, when we meet the master, Mother can ask him?"
Leng Man thought about it and felt a little embarrassed.
"The matter may be related to the political situation. As an enemy, I am using my status as an elder to spy on him. It is not a good idea to force him to answer in the name of filial piety, right?"
"Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"
Xu Yingyuan pretended to be generous.
"It's okay, just ask. As long as mother is happy."
Leng Man pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"It's better not to ask."
"The result is beyond doubt."
The next day, Xu Yingyuan sent a message to Zhuang Shao, asking him to meet her and informing him that Leng Man had agreed to use the beauty trap.
Zhuang Shao happily prepared breakfast and came to the inn where Leng Man was, wanting to give her a surprise.
Early in the morning, Leng Man was awakened by a knock on the door. She realized that her daughter was not around, so she got out of bed, put on her coat, and went to open the door.
I thought the person coming was Yuan'er, and she spoke with a bit of motherly dignity.
"The door isn't locked, you can just push it open and come in, why are you knocking?"
As she spoke, she opened the door and was startled to see who was coming.
"Master Fang?!"
Zhuang Shao smiled and handed over breakfast.
"deliver……"
Before he could finish his words, she slammed the door shut. He was puzzled and stunned for a moment.
"Cold girl?"
"Why are you panicking?"
Leng Man ran hurriedly to the dressing table.
"fine."
"Please wait in the private seat at the door. I have something to do and will be there soon."
Zhuang Shao followed his instructions and sat down.
"it is good."
Leng Man was dressing and changing her clothes as fast as lightning.
After a quarter of an hour, she had finished putting on light makeup and looking pure and innocent. She looked in the mirror, checked herself one last time, and then walked out of the room.
"Please respectfully wish Lord Jingshan good health."
Zhuang Shaoxu gave him a helping hand.
"Flat body, give me a seat."
Leng Man smiled faintly and sat opposite him.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
Zhuang Shao opened the food box and took out the food inside.
"I'll bring you breakfast."
Leng Man was polite.
"Thank you for your care, sir. I feel so unworthy of it."
Zhuang Shao looked at him expectantly.
"Try it. Is it delicious?"
Leng Man responded respectfully, picked up the spoon and tasted the soup.
"Yes."
There was a hint of shyness in Zhuang Shao's eyes.
"I know that for breakfast, you like to eat white jade soup and water chestnut leaf cake the most, so I asked the chef to teach me the skills."
"I haven't practiced for a long time, so the taste may not be good. I'm sorry to make Miss Leng laugh."
Leng Man was stunned and then happy.
"Sir, your words are too serious."
“I think it’s delicious.”
"Thank you for your gift, sir."
Zhuang Shao became even more shy.
"It's my turn. Thank you for your kindness."
Leng Man changed the subject.
"Sir, why did you leave without saying goodbye yesterday?"
Zhuang Shao replied.
"I don't want to embarrass you."
"My manners are impolite, please bear with me, Miss Leng."
