Chapter 671 - 668: Beating the Grass to Startle the Snake_1
"Very well, then I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!" Lu Ping stood up and walked toward the courtyard exit.
Li Mingrui remained seated in his spot without moving. It wasn’t until Lu Ping had left the courtyard and the old man guarding it checked and reported back to Li Mingrui that Lu Ping had gone far away that Li Mingrui said, "Come out!"
The door of the tile-roofed house inside was pulled open, and the white-robed counselor of the Li Mansion stepped out.
Li Mingrui took a sip from his tea cup and asked, "What do you think?"
"Since the Princess of Zhen has ordered it, you should follow her instructions and properly arrange for Wang Qiulu. You can even provide for Wang Qiulu, help him marry and have children, and safeguard against the day when the Princess of Zhen takes out those letters..."
Li Mingrui raised his eyes to look at the white-robed counselor, who had a faint smile on his face. His mind suddenly became clear.
By helping Wang Qiulu marry and have children, and keeping his wife under control, in the future... if the Princess of Zhen were to produce the letters written by his father and the Second Prince, he could have Wang Qiulu turn against her. He would claim that the Princess of Zhen was framing his family because he discovered she had saved the traitorous rebel Wang Qiulu.
"But Master Tan and Lord Shoushan are both highly skilled in calligraphy. Once they see the letters and verify them, they would definitely know they are not forged." Li Mingrui’s brow furrowed slightly.
