764 Black-hearted Couple (1)

When Wang Bi heard this, he asked, “What do you mean?”

Shen Dongling smiled. “Isn’t Ming Qi about to form an alliance with the State of Qin? According to what you said, the State of Qin is also happy to form an alliance with us, right? What if the condition for the State of Qin to agree to the alliance is for Fifth Sister to marry Huangfu Hao?”

“This won’t work. Even if His Majesty has no choice but to agree for the sake of the safety of the people and the country, General Shen won’t agree to let Fifth Miss Shen marry far away.” Wang Bi knew very well that Shen Xin doted on his daughter. If Shen Miao went to the State of Qin, Shen Xin would not have the chance to see her again.

Shen Dongling smiled. “That’s right. However, if this news spreads and the people of Ming Qi find out, they will definitely ask General Shen to marry Fifth Sister over. After all, Huangfu Hao is the crown prince of the State of Qin and is not bad-looking. It’s not a bad marriage for Fifth Sister. If First Uncle doesn’t agree, the State of Qin won’t ally with Ming Qi. The Daliang Dynasty might take advantage of the situation and Ming Qi will be in danger.”

!!

Wang Bi fell into deep thought.

Shen Dongling continued, “Everyone knows that my first uncle values the lives of the people more than his own life. Now, between the safety of the people and his daughter, he will have to choose the former.”

“Even His Majesty can’t do whatever he wants. He has to consider the people, let alone my first uncle. On one hand, my uncle doesn’t want the alliance between Ming Qi and the State of Qin to fall flat, but on the other hand, he doesn’t want Fifth Sister to marry far away. At this moment, as long as the crown prince steps out and says that Fifth Sister is already engaged to him, everything will be resolved.”

“This…” Wang Bi was a little hesitant when he heard that. Shen Dongling continued with a smile, “Huangfu Hao won’t be so impudent as to snatch the crown prince’s woman. Moreover, there was indeed news of this marriage spreading a few days ago. Huangfu Hao only needs to ask around to find out. Compared to marrying Huangfu Hao, who lives far away in the State of Qin, First Uncle is naturally more inclined to let Fifth Sister marry the crown prince. At this juncture, if the crown prince helps Fifth Sister out, First Uncle will also be grateful to him.”

Wang Bi’s eyes lit up. He was smart to begin with, so he naturally understood the merits of Shen Dongling’s idea and fell into deep thought.

Before Shen Dongling could finish, she wrapped her arms around Wang Bi’s neck and said, “However, in order to put on this show, Huangfu Hao and the crown prince need to cooperate. The crown prince can give Huangfu Hao some benefits. If Huangfu Hao gets it, he’ll be willing to put on a show together.”

Wang Bi hugged Shen Dongling tightly and kissed her on the cheek. “I didn’t expect I would be so lucky as to marry a think tank!”

Shen Dongling lowered her head in embarrassment. “Husband, don’t tease me. I just thought of it suddenly. There must be many flaws in this idea, but you can definitely think of a way to perfect it.”

“It’s not easy for you to come up with this idea.” The more Wang Bi looked at Shen Dongling, the happier he became. He said, “You’ve helped me a lot this time. Don’t worry, when it’s done, I’ll definitely mention your contributions to the crown prince.”

Shen Dongling snorted disdainfully in her heart. Men were most afraid of their contributions being shared by others. Moreover, she was a woman. It would be strange if Wang Bi would mention her contributions. What he said just now was sweet nothing.
