Chapter 1528: Chapter 1528: Have you fallen into the scheme?

"To marry the Commandery Princess of Liang Kingdom, one must indeed put in some hard work, mustn’t he?"

He looked at Lin Caisang, speaking in a low voice.

Lin Caisang: "..."

Hard work, my foot, he even kept her in the dark!

"What did you say to my mother to make her agree with you?"

Her mother had only just found her long-lost daughter, could she really agree to let this big bad wolf, Sui Zimo, drag her daughter away?

"Sang’er, you are always going to marry, and I, am always going to wed. Since it is so, why don’t we do it openly, instead of hiding and skulking about?" Sui Zimo looked at her and said.

"So, what then?"

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows, asking him.

She was not being coy or anything; it’s just that, if this matter wasn’t thoroughly considered, it could easily cause a huge mess.

The Emperor of Wei had already expressed considerable dissatisfaction with her identity. It would be best for him to exploit her relationship with Sui Zimo to pit her against Prince Mo’s Mansion. How could he possibly loosen his grip easily?

"What have you done?"

"Why must I do anything?" Sui Zimo chuckled lightly.

"I simply had someone deliver a message, claiming that... the daughter of the Elder Princess of Liang Kingdom is just a young girl recently fetched from the countryside."

Lin Caisang: "!!!

There’s a saying that ginger gets spicier with age, but the Emperor of Wei must not have expected that it could become an overripe, rotten piece of ginger, right?

How could he possibly compete with the old and sly Sui Zimo?

"You’re not planning to trade me for that ’me’ in Liang Kingdom, are you?"

That was a possibility, the Emperor of Wei would certainly feel as if he had finally removed a thorn from his side, leaving Sui Zimo armless.

But, what will happen when he realizes that he personally handed that arm over to Sui Zimo—will he be so angry that he won’t be able to get out of bed ever again?

It isn’t an impossible scenario.

"Brother Molian, you’ve even calculated the person behind the Emperor of Wei, haven’t you?"

Her mother had escaped back from the Illusion Continent, which the person behind the Emperor surely knew since her mother had previously been surrounded by many from the Illusion Continent wishing her harm.

The person behind the Emperor must indeed be very interested in her mother.

Perhaps, he also harbored thoughts of controlling both her and Sui Zimo, thereby gaining control over her mother as well.

This was, simply put, one ring after another, a devious plot to ensnare someone utterly.

"Calculated?"

Sui Zimo laughed softly, not feeling so himself.

"If that person could be outsmarted so easily, we would have indeed struck lucky."

But could it be that easy?

"Let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s handle the matters at hand first, then... someone’s coming."

Before he finished speaking, upon sensing movement in the courtyard, Sui Zimo immediately got up, pulled Lin Caisang to his side, and the two of them quickly left the courtyard.

"Who is it?"

In the courtyard stood the aged chieftain of the Demon Clan. He had no one following him, he was alone.

"Who are you, and why have you come to this little town?" The old chieftain’s piercing gaze swept back and forth between Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang, as though he wanted to see right through them.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t see through the two individuals before him.

"Heh."

Lin Caisang chuckled softly.

"So you’ve finally come out."

It wasn’t in vain that she and Sui Zimo had waited in this courtyard for so long; at last, someone had shown up.
