762 Waves (5)

No one could tell that not long ago, she was still an unknown illegitimate daughter of the Shen family. She did not leave the courtyard all year round, so people did not know that she used to be the daughter of the Shen family.

Although the Wang family did not look like it was more powerful than other families, it was still considered very affluent. Before marrying Wang Bi, Shen Dongling had always thought that the Wang family followed Prince Zhou, but later, she found out the Wang family was actually with the crown prince. The reason why they could be so rich was that they had some dealings with salt smugglers, and a large portion of the illegal money flowed into the crown prince’s mansion.

Shen Dongling was extremely satisfied with Wang Bi. Wang Bi looked honest, but in fact, he was smart and could be considered a valuable person under the crown prince. Back then, Shen Yue looked down on Wang Bi, because she didn’t know Wang Bi well. Shen Dongling was born beautiful and had a gentle personality. More importantly, she could give some suggestions to Wang Bi. However, she would never interfere too much. The more this was the case, the better Wang Bi treated her. Wang Bi had always been happy that Shen Yue swapped the marriage with Shen Dongling. The Wang family only had one son and Wang Bi was competent. It was not an exaggeration to say that Wang Bi had the ultimate say. As the young madam of the Wang family, Shen Dongling was respected by all the servants. If Ren Wanyun was still alive, she would probably be furious to see her doing so well.

It was the same today.

Wang Bi returned from outside and handed the pastry to the maid, saying, “I passed by Guangfu Restaurant and bought you your favorite cloud cake.”

“Husband, you’re very considerate.” Shen Dongling poured tea for him with a smile, her every move gentle and graceful. She was the daughter of a concubine and had a special charm. She smiled and said, “Husband, you seem to be very happy today. Is anything good going to happen?”

Wang Bi did not hide most of the things from Shen Dongling, because Shen Dongling was not big-mouthed. Occasionally, she could help him share his burden. Wang Bi said, “His Majesty asked Huangfu Hao to interact more with the crown prince. It’s obvious that he wants to form an alliance with the State of Qin and that he wants to support the crown prince. Since we’re the crown prince’s people, when the crown prince inherits the throne in the future, we will definitely be rewarded handsomely.” He smiled and looked at Shen Dongling. “Do you think we should celebrate?”

Shen Dongling immediately smiled in surprise and said, “Really?” After saying that, she looked at Wang Bi in admiration and said softly, “Husband, you’re really amazing. It’s really my blessing to be your wife.”

Being looked at by such an adoring gaze by a beautiful woman, Wang Bi felt smug. He smiled and said, “If His Majesty had given Fifth Miss Shen to the crown prince a while ago, with the support of the Shen family’s military strength, the crown prince would gain an even bigger advantage. Our chances of winning would be higher. Now, although the crown prince is close to Huangfu Hao, in terms of military strength…” He sighed. “Military strength is often the most important.”
