Evil Prince, Come Play With Me

Chapter 757: A Concubine For Life May Be a Good Thing?

A regular person naturally wouldn’t even dare to imagine it, but Lady Murong could eat it every day in the Murong family. However, they had run out several days ago, and the shops were unexpectedly out of stock.

Several stores that sold exotic delicacies were gone, and the manager who usually supplied the Murong family with ingredients said that they were now very rare.

Lady Murong loved abalone and shark’s fin soup the most, and it would be a disaster if there was no stock. She had gotten someone to ask around, and discovered that most of the fishermen in the summer fishing village near Pale Emperor City had run off overnight.

There weren’t many people supplying seafood right now; whatever was put out was immediately snapped up.

The nobles of Pale Emperor City were used to such food.

Even the royal palace was looking everywhere for stock.

Lady Murong had looked for people to snap some up, but it really was too little. It was going to be the new year; why did something like this have to happen before the family dinner on New Year’s Eve?

She had endured not being able to eat it all this time, but her heart was tense.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zi’s residence had a lot of it. Furthermore, his chef was especially good, and the abalone and shark’s fin soup was incomparably delicious. Lady Murong was naturally happy.

“You can have more if you like it, my lady. I have more in my house. I’ll have someone pack some up for you to bring home later.” Gu Bailu smiled.

“It’s hard to buy this dish now. Miss Gu, why do you have so much of it?”

Gu Bailu smiled. “Other people may not have it, but I don’t lack it; I have plenty of fishermen.”

Lady Murong’s eyes flickered. “Don’t tell me you took in all those village fishermen who ran off?”

“Have you forgotten, my lady? I spent a lot of money to hire garbage with low spiritual power.”

Lady Murong didn’t understand. “What are you doing? Are you going to raise the price?”

Gu Bailu chuckled. “My husband has plenty of money, there’s no need for me to scheme for more. My lady, let me give you a word of advice: Hurry and stock up on what you want.”

Lady Murong was confused. She had a feeling that something was going to happen.

But then again, they were just a bunch of garbage with low spiritual power. If they dared revolt, they would be wiped out with one hand.

So, she didn’t take Gu Bailu’s words to heart. She simply took the abalone and shark’s fin soup which Gu Bailu gave to her and went home in high spirits.

After Feng Qingtian had his fill that night, Gu Bailu asked curiously, “What did Lu Fenying mean when he said he wouldn’t marry?”

Then wouldn’t Qian’er forever be a concubine?

“Silly girl, isn’t it good for Mo Qian’er if he doesn’t marry? What are you worried about?”

“How can that be a good thing? She’ll be a concubine for the rest of her life.”

“Without a wife, wouldn’t she as the concubine have the highest rank?” Feng Qingtian kissed her lips. “Why can’t you figure it out still?”

“But can his words be trusted? As the ruler of a nation, can he really not marry?”

“According to Heavenly Wind Empire’s current system, it’s impossible for Mo Qian’er to become the queen of the country. This involves the interests of the noble families, so they’ll definitely band together to oppose it. But whether or not the ruler of the country marries, they might not necessarily dare bring it up. After all, it doesn’t affect their own status and interests. Besides, it’s not like Lu Fenying doesn’t have an heir.”

Gu Bailu’s eyes widened. “When you put it that way, it seems this is the best outcome for Qian’er?”
