203: Well-calculated Moves

Well-calculated Moves

Also, she thought that Si Mobai liked her. Did she really believe that she was the top female genius in the world, and all men were in love with her?1

Tu Xiupei scoffed and stuck her chin out like an arrogant peacock. "I'm not like you, giving just anybody a chance."

It was okay if the Wargod liked her, but he was only eligible to do her bidding, even if it cost him his life, and he had to be the one to beg her for the privilege. She wasn't going to take the initiative. She didn't want him to think that she was interested in him.

Feng Tianlan started laughing mockingly when she saw how narcissistic Tu Xiupei was. She used to think that Tu Xiupei was pretty good at acting, but now she realized that she wasn't even worth one finger on Shen Yunya's hand. If she still wanted to be Big Brother Jin's wife, at this rate, Shen Yunya wouldn't even need to lift a finger to get rid of her.

"If Father doesn't hand over the genealogy and keys, then I'll have to get the emperor to send down an edict." Feng Tianlan glanced back at Tu Xiang, who was trying to make himself invisible.

"The emperor is very busy and doesn't just go around helping anybody like that." Tu Xiang stiffened his neck and looked at Feng Tianlan. He continued in the sweetest voice possible, "Tianlan, we're father and daughter, and family members don't bear grudges against each other. Since we all live under the same roof, you can be in charge of the seal, and I'll be in charge of the household. Doesn't that work for all of us?"

"I know that Father has burned the original genealogy and that the current one only has four names on it. So, if Father still doesn't hand the keys over, then after we're done with the dinner at the Spiritual Foods Restaurant, I'll call the guests over to the ancestral hall to take a look…"

Tu Xiang quickly cut in, "Tianlan, which part of 'filial piety' do you not understand? I've already said that you can be the clan head, but I'll take care of the family. This way, we both benefit. Why don't you understand?"

"Benefit?" Feng Tianlan laughed coldly. If she were the head in name but not in practice, that would not be beneficial to her at all. Did he think she was stupid?

Tu Xiang thought that she wanted benefits, so he quickly added, "I'll tell you what. You like the Third Prince, right? I'll talk to him, and he'll marry you. He'll take you as his official wife."

"Father!" Tu Xiupei screeched. "That's my man! How can you ask him to marry Feng Tianlan, that useless and ugly woman!"

Third Prince was her man. They had slept together and had a child together even, so how could he marry Feng Tianlan? She would not allow that – Feng Tianlan was not worthy of Big Brother Rong.

"But, if you want to marry him, I have a request." Tu Xiang looked at Tu Xiuyu, then commanded as her father, "It's not that you can't marry Third Prince, but you have to let Yu'er also marry him. You will be the official wife, but her status will be equal with yours, and both sisters can support the Third Prince together."

HAHA!

Feng Tianlan laughed coldly at Tu Xiang, "What a well-calculated move."

Somehow, they never seemed to remember that she had repudiated Si Rong!

Tu Xiang looked at her and thought that there was a chance, so he added, "If both sisters support him, then you can live safely and strengthen your position in the palace. This will only benefit you both, and neither of you will suffer. So, you see, actually, I really do dote on you. I've already created a wonderful path for your future."

"Father, I don't want this arrangement. She's not worthy of Big Brother Rong. I insist…" Tu Xiupei dashed over. Before she could finish speaking, her left cheek was slapped hard once more. She held her swollen and painful face. Her bloodshot eyes glared at Tu Xiang while she shrieked, "Father, it's fine if you hit me over Tu Xiupei. But now, you've hit me because of this sl*t…" PAK!

"She is your elder sister. How can you call her a sl*t?" Tu Xiang had hit Tu Xiuyu without mercy. Tu Xiuyu's head was turned to one side from the impact, and her messy hair covered half her face. She looked like a madwoman.
