Chapter 474 Temptation
"Little brother, in your opinion, when should we take action?" Xu Wei broke into a smile before asking.
Lin Wanrong chuckled darkly, "The sooner, the better. Of course, it also depends on when you, Mr. Xu, can have everything prepared. In my view, it would be best to catch them off guard. This lesson is learned from my own experience—look, I got hit by an explosive without any warning at all. The effect was, ah, exceptionally good." He clenched his teeth, stretched his arms, and shook his legs, a torrent of resentment bubbling within him, without an outlet.
Seeing Lin San's laughter "etched in his bones," Old Xu understood his intentions. Provoking Lin San meant that even if Prince Cheng had three heads and six arms, he would still be doomed. The two men meticulously plotted their plans. Xu Wei took on the responsibility of preparing everything. Lin Wanrong felt quite assured with the older man's competence.
"There's one more thing," Xu Wei blinked mysteriously at the end, "Little brother, will you inform Zhiqing about your injury?"
"What? Miss Xu doesn't know about my situation?" Lin Wanrong was somewhat surprised. The Xu family lived next door; how could they not know when there had been such a commotion here?
Xu Wei shook his head and gave a wry smile, "General Li Tai's army is set to move soon. Zhiqing entered the military camp the evening before last to discuss strategies with the commanding general and hasn't returned since. When I sent someone to summon Li Tai earlier, I specifically instructed them not to inform Zhiqing about you. The girl has suffered for many years, and finally, she has someone she favors. I fear she won't be able to handle it if something suddenly happens—Ah, little brother Lin, are your eyes uncomfortable? You're blinking so fast!"
‘You old man, can't you understand my hints? Don't you know there's a little jar of jealousy right next to me? You're going to ruin everything!’ He coughed hastily a couple of times but before he could speak, Qin Xian'er preemptively huffed and said, "Mr. Xu, what about your precious daughter? What do you mean by 'someone she favors' and 'can't handle it'? Does it concern my husband?"
"Ah, well—well—" Xu Wei stammered, his old face turning red. However thick-skinned he was, he didn't dare to make a match for his daughter in front of Princess Nishang.
