Chapter 1405 - 1412: Father-in-law and Old Father-in-law (4)
"Smart?"
Cai Wei snorted softly, "Her little tricks are, at best, for fooling fools. Right now it is the dead of winter, not even close to the thawing of snow and ice. How could the ice on the lake just collapse? Just now, when the dancing girl performed at the center of the lake, with so many people on the ice, it did not collapse. Yet, as soon as she steps on, it collapses right beneath the pavilion on Crown Prince Wanyan’s side."
"This coincidence is too much; anyone with clear eyes can see something fishy about it. Yet she, being foolish, does not realize it, and thinks that Crown Prince Wanyan saved her out of kindness since she was thinly dressed and wet from falling into the icy lake during her dance performance. Having seen her body, he most likely will feel obligated to take responsibility for her."
"Pity, when Wanyan Jingchen saved her, he didn’t even touch her, but wrapped her up with his cloak to pull her out. Otherwise, if he had truly touched her body, things would have been difficult!"
Nangong Yi laughed and said, "It seems she’s putting all her eggs in one basket just to become the Crown Princess of the Qing Luo Kingdom!"
Cai Wei sighed, "Human greed knows no bounds. If only she could have been content being Princess Zhao Gui, even if she couldn’t marry into the Qing Luo Kingdom as the Crown Princess, I would have still helped her find a good husband. Unfortunately, she’s far too discontent..."

For Mo Zili, however, it was the cruelest day.
When he learned that Wanyan Jingchen, regardless of Xiang Yun’s divorced status, intended to propose to her, and that he only had three days to win her heart for a chance of reunion, it was as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him, his heart turning cold!
He was done for, truly done for...
