Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 422: Favorable News!

It must be said, Pang Shuangyue is quite clever—no, she truly understands.

Long Yue indeed plans to wait until she’s pregnant, and once her belly grows, consider how to get rid of the child!

They say children are innocent, but isn’t the child in Long Yue’s belly innocent too? Back then, she almost took away my right to be a mother; this hatred must be avenged!

As for being vicious? Ruthless? What does that count for?

Being merciful to enemies is cruel to yourself!

That year, Li Qingmu just thought of not wanting to be too ostentatious and didn’t personally kill Qian Yi in prison, which left worries for the future. You must learn from past mistakes, and Long Yue won’t make the same error!

People shouldn’t be too soft-hearted!

"Enjoy it thoroughly, I want a fresh report every day!"

Long Yue looked meaningfully at the two beggars, received their flattering smiles, then turned and left.

"Ah ah ah! Pang Longyue, you will die a horrible death, a horrible death!!! I will haunt you as a vengeful ghost, ah—"

Behind her came Pang Shuangyue’s gut-wrenching scream, but it was silenced as the big gate slammed shut with a "boom."

Long Yue raised her head, looking at the bright sunshine outside; spring was in bloom, a new year had begun—it was truly wonderful.

"Order everyone, surround this place tightly, don’t let a fly inside, and if anyone runs from within, those responsible for guarding will be held accountable!"

This is collective responsibility; I’m not afraid of anyone being bribed!

Moreover, at this time, Pang Shuangyue had nearly become an abandoned pawn; would her cheap father send someone to rescue her?

Long Yue shook her head; he wouldn’t dare. He once killed her with a sword for show, and rescuing her only to be caught would spell eternal doom!

Killing her didn’t work because she survived by luck, but rescuing her would be a blatant crime of deceiving the Emperor!

"Let’s go, back to the mansion!"

Long Yue returned, while on the other side, the Pang Mansion.

Liu Bingxin rushed into Pang Wenzheng’s study, crying and accusing: "You you you... how could you be so heartless, killing Shuang’er with a sword? She’s your daughter, your biological daughter! Tell me, how could you do this to your only daughter?"

Pang Longyue wasn’t Pang Wenzheng’s biological daughter. At that time, Pang Wenzheng randomly found a drunk man on the street and pushed him into Cao Wanjun’s bed; Cao, drugged, had a one-night affair with the man and became pregnant, mistakenly believing it was Pang’s child.

Cao Wanjun and Long Yue weren’t aware of this, but Liu Bingxin knew.

Because she was Pang Wenzheng’s person from the beginning and knew him before Cao Wanjun. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

So she said, "You only have this one daughter."

"Shut up! Do you think I wanted to?" Pang Wenzheng angrily flung Liu Bingxin away, pointing at her in rage, "Useless woman, causing nothing but trouble, what can you actually do, huh? Get out, get out!"

"Master, she’s our daughter, isn’t she? Wuwuwu..."

Liu Bingxin sobbed loudly, but Pang Wenzheng grew more frustrated and had her taken out, not even bothering to explain that he had kept a backup plan.

Currently with the Emperor, what can he do? Someone who had to sacrifice family for duty going to the Emperor now would be laughable, wouldn’t it?

Pang Wenzheng felt a headache, massaging his forehead as he slowly sat down, lost in thought.

His original plan was to wait until remnants from Chen Country seized the power of the Imperial Palace, and when Qian Yi, the fake Seventeenth Prince, commenced the enthronement ceremony, his Beirong army would impersonate the Dazhou Army to rebel, using the pretext of eliminating traitors to seize the Imperial Palace.

This way, it would be legitimate, truly putting the power of Dazhou in the palm of his hand!

Some may ask, why not seize power directly and have to detour through Chen Country affairs? Isn’t this tiring?

This reasoning seems sound but isn’t actually true.

As Dazhou has been established for over three hundred years, although some past emperors were inept, nearly costing the Dazhou Dynasty, they were ultimately saved by loyal ministers.

Thus, Dazhou has always been a relationship of mutual oversight, restraint, and benefit between ruler and subject.

Dazhou has strong allegiance, making it very difficult for an outsider to seize the throne.

So, a stepping stone is needed as a launchpad for a gradual strategy.

Chen Country is this stepping stone.

The people of Chen Country first control the Imperial Army, forcefully placing a fake prince in power—this seemingly works, intimidating current ministers, but it can’t intimidate everyone.

Look at the time within Qianlong Palace; rebellious ministers and steadfast ones were split seven to three, with the rebels at three, steadfast at seven, and among the three, some were originally Chen Country plants.

Given such a scenario, Chen Country attempting to control Dazhou’s power will entail a major purge, causing chaos in the court.

Chaos is good; chaos allows taking advantage.

During this chaos, while cleaning and swapping personnel, as a nominal supporter of Chen Country, he can seamlessly insert Beirong personnel, and later, during the enthronement ceremony, make a public call...

The newly reorganized court by Chen Country will become stepping stones for his Da Rong, isn’t it delightful?

However, Cao Yin’s five thousand elite troops somehow infiltrated the Imperial City, cooperating with inside forces and directly broke in.

Those controlled Imperial Army leaders were liberated, turned on Chen Country’s army, and destroyed them completely!

This damn...

Pang Wenzheng really wanted to curse at the time!

Everything meticulously planned just for this moment, yet he failed, not even knowing how!

Xue Mingzhu’s poisonous insects were controlling the Imperial Army leaders well, so why did they fail at the critical moment?

Had he not been cautious over the years and not appeared or defected, it would have been truly over.

Pang Longyue!

That wretched spawn—it’s her, she ruined my plans!

Pang Wenzheng had pondered over this recently, and finally, two days ago, he received news that Xue Mingzhu had disguised herself as a woman heading to the Imperial Palace to support but was intercepted by a man in white clothes, extremely skilled, who killed her with a single silver needle!

Moreover, the location of the strike revealed a fist-sized poisonous insect!

It frightened people within the Inspection Department and Imperial City badly, upon receiving this news, Qi Yun ordered Xue Mingzhu’s immediate cremation.

After all, keeping the corpse around would bring doom!

"Master, we have found out that person’s origin."

"Hmm, tell me!"

A shadow suddenly appeared in the study, kneeling on one knee and reporting, "This person is Duanmu Nan, a true disciple of Master Lingque of Bailing Valley, and reportedly the next Valley Master!"

"Bailing Valley? I’ve heard of it, a very mysterious sect overseas, considered a Jianghu power, huh, Jianghu people dare meddle in court affairs? Good, very good!"

Pang Wenzheng sneered coldly.

"Master, we’ve discovered one more thing, which might be very advantageous to us!"
