Chapter 17: Marriage Planning
Lin Anyi lowered his head even lower and his hands at his sides tightened slightly.
"I don't mean that..."
"Then what do you mean?"
Biyu stared at Lin Anyi coldly, refusing to give in.
But a mere dog slave is qualified to make demands to the king?
That cripple has fallen out of favor, is there any need to fawn over him like this?
Besides, the prince didn't allow him to attend the birthday banquet, and it would be embarrassing for the prince if he went. Unlike the second young master, he was naturally beautiful, with extraordinary looks, and was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Unlike that useless guy who can't do anything and is a fool.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the prince. He sent the person to the manor three years ago, and now he suddenly takes the person back.
Three years ago, that person pushed the second young master into the water and almost drowned him. How could the prince take such a vicious person back?
Thinking of the second young master whom she had raised since childhood, Biyu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"Okay~"
Bai Wushuang glared at Biyu, coldly interrupting the tense atmosphere.
He turned to look at Lin Anyi, his tone slow but with a hint of admonition.
"Butler Lin, the prince has handed over all the power in the backyard to me. Apart from the prince, I am the most powerful person in the palace. You must know who is your master in the palace."
"I know that the late king has done you a favor. It is understandable that you think of the eldest son. Don't worry. The eldest son is the prince's blood after all. As a king, I have always been generous. I can't do without him for food, clothing and other expenses, so that people will not accuse me of mistreating the legitimate son."
His cold eyes fixed on Lin Anyi, with a warning in them.
"As for you, you are just a servant in Prince Zhan's mansion. I have the final say on whether to punish you or not. Even if I beat you to death, the prince will not blame me. Do you understand?"
Lin Anyi was hunched over, with his head lowered so that his expression could not be seen clearly, but his hands were clenched and trembling slightly under his sleeves.
"I understand~"
Bai Wushuang retracted his gaze and said slowly.
"You should decide for yourself what to do."
"Okay, let's go down."
Lin Anyi lowered his eyes and said, "I'll take my leave now!" Biyu looked at Lin Anyi's back with anger and disgust.
"Lord Wang, why waste your time talking to this kind of person? This kind of bastard will never know how powerful he is unless he is taught a lesson."
When the late king was alive, this old bitch relied on her status as the king's favorite to often scold and beat the servants.
What he remembered most was that he was beaten with thirty sticks and almost lost his life simply because he accidentally knocked Wang Jun down.
Therefore, Biyu has always held a grudge against Lin Anyi.
Now that Lin Anyi has fallen out of favor and has no one to back her up, Biyu naturally wants to avenge herself.
Bai Wushuang picked up the jewelry on the table, looked at it and played with it, then said slowly.
"She is the prince's after all. Even though the prince doesn't like her now, you should not forget that he once favored her. Even though she has lost power now, there is no guarantee that she won't be favored again in the future. In everything... it's better not to be too drastic."
"But……"
Biyu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Bai Wushuang.
"The other day, I asked you to deliver an invitation to the legitimate husband of the Minister of Personnel. What did he say?"
Biyu was stunned when she heard that, then she put away her resentment towards Lin Anyi and responded respectfully.
"My Lord, Mr. Pei has agreed and said he will come to propose marriage after Mr. Feng's birthday banquet."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Bai Wushuang's eyes flickered with joy and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"very good."
Biyu couldn't help but ask the question in her mind.
"My Lord, I don't understand. You clearly don't like the eldest son, so why are you still looking for such a good marriage for him?"
"And Your Majesty, knowing that the eldest son is so vicious, why did you take him back? The eldest daughter got very angry with Your Majesty over this matter, and she hasn't come to pay her respects to you for several days."
