The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Meng Yunzheng Has Planned His Way Out Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Meng Yunzheng Has Planned His Way Out Shu Yu sipped her tea calmly, “Anyway, the Second Prince and Gong Qiu are indeed related by blood.”

Meng Yunzheng gently tapped his fingertips on the tabletop, “You’re right, whether he is or isn’t, we can claim he is. But we can’t get involved in this matter ourselves; we need the Third Prince to stumble upon it and lead him to think in that direction.”

Shu Yu gave a thumbs up, Smart.

Although the plot of the story states that the male and female leads uncover their illicit affair, she had already verified that the process could be changed–as long as the outcome remained the same.

By replacing the male and female leads with the Third Prince, the thorn in the Emperor’s heart would then be this son, and the Fifth Prince could instead extricate himself.

But still…

“Could it end up affecting you?” Shu Yu put down her cup, still somewhat worried, “Even though you don’t acknowledge Gong Qiu, he is still your father. If he commits such an act, the entire Gong Family might be implicated.”

The book did mention that the Emperor didn’t want to blow the matter out of proportion, so the rest of the Gong Family were fine.

In the end, the Gong Family gradually declined, soon fading from people’s gossip.

But who knows if there might be unexpected outcomes?

Yet Meng Yunzheng didn’t seem to be worried about this.

“You just said it yourself, whether he’s a son or not, we can declare he is. Likewise, I, his son, can be said not to be. True or false, as long as there’s evidence, as long as we have enough power, how we choose to spin it is up to us, isn’t it?”

He seemed to have been well-prepared for this, “Don’t worry, from the day I decided to bring him down, I already had my exit plan ready.”

His life was fiercely protected by his mother, so how could he easily discard it and perish together with such a person?

With that said, Shu Yu felt relieved.

Meng Yunzheng gravely lifted his head, took her hand, and whispered, “Yu, thank you.”

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “I’ve told you before, I may not be able to do much, but I’ve got a working brain. The idea I came up with for you, did it not open up new ways of thinking?”

Meng Yunzheng was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “Yes, you’re too clever. But my thanks is not for that. I’m grateful to you for listening to so much, yet still standing so firmly by my side, willing to share troubles with me.”

“No problem, just let me share in the riches later.”

“Cough, cough.” A soft cough suddenly came from outside the window.

Meng Yunzheng withdrew his hand and looked out the window, “What is it?”

Zhao Xi, with a strong desire to survive, explained, “I didn’t hear anything, I immediately made a noise as soon as I got here to remind you. Anyway, when you’re finished talking, come out, Grandmother said it’s been too long, she’s worried you might do something inappropriate.”

After saying that, he slipped away, as if afraid of being beaten.

Shu Yu looked at his retreating figure with a speechless expression and asked Meng Yunzheng, “Zhao Xi is now calling me Grandmother, quite fluently at that.”

“…” Meng Yunzheng fell silent; he actually wanted to call her that too.

“Alright, I should go out now, otherwise Grandmother herself might come over.” Shu Yu stood up, observing Meng Yunzheng’s exhausted demeanor. He had rushed back without resting at all and had just engaged in a long conversation; it was not just his body that was tired, but also his spirit.

“You rest, we can talk about the other matters later.”

“Alright.”

Shu Yu walked out the door and saw Zhao Xi still peeking around not far away. She rolled her eyes and then turned to ask Meng Yunzheng, “So Zhao Xi was put by your father and his master to serve as your attendant?”
