Chapter 222: Bad Idea(2)_1
But she dare not defy Chu Suifeng’s command. "Cousin is right, Yanran will certainly learn the proper etiquette when she returns."
Having obtained Li Yanran’s assurance, Chu Suifeng’s gaze fell upon Lady You again.
Lady You’s heart shivered, and she hastened to echo, "I shall certainly bear in mind Prince’s instructions."
"Conger, send two of the beauties gifted by the palace to our cousin’s residence when you return," Chu Suifeng didn’t let Lady You off easily.
"Yes, Your Highness." Conger repressed his laughter and answered ceremoniously.
Upon hearing this, Lady You felt like she wished for death.
The beauties bestowed by the palace were naturally gifts from the Emperor to Chu Suifeng. But Chu Suifeng, uninterested in them, passed them to the Li Residence. His intent was clearly to make things difficult for her. After all, the beauties from the palace aren’t ordinary concubines one could buy; even she, the wife, would have to be careful and couldn’t oppress them indiscriminately.

Clear-sighted individuals realized that the Prince was deliberately weakening the influence of Li Family. Had they not noticed how the Si Family and Luo Family, among the Prince’s vassals, had all risen rapidly in a short span of time?
