On the other side, Zhou Zhang called his son into the study, avoided everyone, and asked: "Xuan'er, who is that woman? Why did you let her go to Shangguan Mansion for the banquet in place of your sister? If anyone knew,
Our Zhou family is doomed."
The older Zhou Zhang got, the less courageous he became.
Zhou Zixuan said quickly: "Father, please be patient."
"I proposed that my sister be the Princess of Anyang, but he refused." Zhou Zixuan said, "Because I think he will be more cooperative if this girl comes forward."
"He has lost power. We, the Zhou family, support him and speak for him. We, the Zhou family, have already taken great risks. Isn't my daughter, Zhou Zhang, worthy of being the head wife of his powerless King Anyang?"
Zhou Zhang said angrily.
Zhou Zixuan added: "To be honest with my father, King Anyang really doesn't like the daughter of our Zhou family. If he hadn't known the true situation of my sister, he would not have agreed to accept the position of concubine."
"Why should he?" Zhou Zhang said angrily again.
Zhou Zhang only dared to show off his power in front of his son.
"My son didn't know either, but he only said one sentence at the time."
Zhou Zhang looked at Zhou Zixuan quietly...
Zhou Zixuan said in a deep voice: "He said that I already have a wife."
The disguised version means that even the daughter of the Zhou family can only be a concubine.
"A prince without any advantage wants to seize power. Having a wife is useless. Without the support of his wife's clan, he wants to make a comeback. I think he is just dreaming. Xuan'er, did we make the wrong move?"
"Father just acts according to the plan and obeys his son's arrangements in everything." Zhou Zixuan said solemnly.
Zhou Zhang only nodded. If his daughter hadn't become like this, his daughter would have been even richer.
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. The family scandal must not be made public. It is rare that King Anyang does not dislike it.
But Zhou Zixuan felt that Prince Anyang chose Zhou Mansion to cooperate because of his sister's experience.
They didn't take advantage of him much.
Shang Yang's talents are above him, but he is willing to follow King Anyang in obscurity, which is enough to show that King Anyang is still the eldest prince back then.

Here, Mu Lingwei has already changed into Zhou Waner's clothes and put on her jewelry.
When Mu Lingwei stood in front of Zhou Waner, she was stunned for a moment and murmured: "Miss Mu's outfit is so beautiful!"
I saw her wearing a gorgeous white dress, with a slender waist, a leisurely expression, a charming smile, beautiful eyes, and a delicate face that was even more gorgeous without heavy makeup.
Smiling slightly, she was charming and unparalleled in beauty. Fortunately, she didn't want to compete with such a woman for a man. Even if her mother said how beautiful Prince Anyang was, at this time, she touched her belly and knew that there was a little girl inside.
Life, her heart was very calm, as if no one could shock the ripples in her heart.
Now that she has made a decision, she must go on, even if it is for the Zhou family and for the love hidden in her heart.
She also wants to live.
This month she cried every day, but it was of no use at all. She could only hide in this room, unable to get out, and unable to see anyone, so what was the use?
This Doctor Mu dared to run in front of her for the person he liked. If nothing happened to her, she might not have the courage to run in front of him and refuse to enter the palace to choose a concubine.
Destiny made her the mother of a child, and the little thing in her belly tortured her every day. She just wanted to take him to death.
However, at this moment, she wanted to live.
At this time, half of Zhou Waner's face was covered with gauze, and she looked sickly, but her eyes were particularly bright.
Mu Lingwei also looked at her appearance. If the injuries on her face were avoided, she should be considered a well-behaved and beautiful girl. She had to endure so much at the age of sixteen.
Mu Lingwei suddenly said: "I will find a way to cure your face."
"Why?" Zhou Waner asked.
"Do you think I came to Zhou Mansion because I was afraid of your appearance?" Mu Lingwei said confidently.
"When I saw Miss Mu, Wan'er felt that her beauty was not as good as Miss Mu's." Zhou Wan'er said sincerely.
Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lips seemed to be filled with all kinds of amorous feelings. She said lightly: "Because I want to test my heart to see if I will have other emotions because he wants to marry another woman, and I also want to stop him."
This is a despicable act of using a woman to seize power, but if God doesn’t like it, I might compromise. Compromising in my heart means giving up and continuing to like him.”
"I think I may not have completely fallen in love with him yet. I'll wait until the day I fall in love with him. Isn't that what love and love are all about anyway? I can take it easy." She said freely.
Zhou Waner did not expect that she had not fallen in love with Prince Anyang, and she had never seen a woman like her who did not shy away from talking about feelings. She did not have the courage like her, and she had already decided to bury her love.
Zhou Waner suddenly said: "Can I be friends with you?"
Mu Lingwei was stunned, "With me? Aren't you supposed to hate me? I'm here to stop you from marrying Jun Mohan. Your face..."
"I have never met him. Besides, if King Anyang only loves you, why should I ask for trouble? In addition to love and family ties, friendship is also very important."
Zhou Waner added: "I don't want this wound on my face to get better. Living with a veil is exactly what I need now, because it can hide many of my emotions. If the plan succeeds and I want to get married, I think
Please go instead of me, King Anyang will be happy to do so."
Mu Lingwei did not expect that she would tell her so much. She felt that Zhou Waner had decided to wrap herself in a shell.
She neither agreed nor denied it. Privately, she didn't want anyone to become Jun Mohan's bride.
But just like Zhou Zixuan said, without Zhou Waner, he would still have to marry someone else as his concubine.
She now plans to take it one step at a time, and plans to get out in time so that she can live without her man.
But she didn't know if she could live without Jun Mohan.
Maybe she doesn’t know what unforgettable love looks like?
At this moment, she just wanted to leave as she pleased.
-
At this time, the night was dark, and Mu Lingwei wore a breathable mask under a white veil for safety reasons.
Meeting Shangguan Ruizhu and Shangguan Han was inevitable, but it happened that the Zhou family didn't want her face to be exposed to others.
When I go to the Shangguan Mansion for a banquet, I will naturally be accompanied by Mrs. Zhou, and besides, tonight...
Mrs. Zhou was actually very unwilling. Her daughter was the best girl and fully worthy of Prince Anyang.
At this time, Shaoyao also changed into a maid's costume and stayed with her, and Aunt Xu followed behind.
The Zhou family prepared a total of two carriages, one for men and one for women.
As soon as Mu Lingwei was helped to the door, she saw Zhou Zixuan and Zhou Zhang waiting outside.
At this time, Zhou Zixuan stepped forward and said calmly: "Sister."
Mu Lingwei glanced at him and said, "Yes."
"Wan'er usually calls me brother." He reminded quietly.
So, Mu Lingwei also whispered: "Brother, father, mother, that's all."
"My sister's voice is very gentle. Just say that you have caught the cold and try to speak as little as possible." Zhou Zixuan added.
Mu Lingwei was stunned. Is Zhou Waner's voice gentle?
I'm afraid I'm just pretending in front of my family!
So, she said obediently: "Yes."
Zhou Zhang felt that it was not safe to cover his face with a silk scarf. Even though he was dressed like Wan'er and wore a large cloak, he couldn't tell, but they had also prepared a second plan, and they couldn't hide it when the time came.
