A Successful Scheme

Madam Lou clapped her hands, and a pair of exceptionally beautiful young maidens walked in from outside.

These sisters were true beauties, handpicked by Madam Lou herself.

The sisters were stunning, and thanks to their lifelong training, they exuded a seductive charm. Any man who glanced at them couldn't help but be captivated, his eyes glued to the pair.

Marquis Weiyuan was a man, and naturally, he was no exception.

Back in her youth, Madam Lou was a beauty herself, but age had taken its toll. Compared to these two sisters, her faded looks were even more apparent.

Marquis Weiyuan's eyes were glued to the sisters, unable to look away.

Madam Lou instantly noticed her husband's inappropriate behavior and shot Marquis Weiyuan a fierce glare.

Only then did Marquis Weiyuan snap back to his senses. These two exquisite beauties were handpicked by Madam Lou specifically for Alexander Hayes.

Tonight, once things were set in stone, these beauties sent by the Marquis Estate would remain by Alexander Hayes's side.

The sisters were experts at charming men. Marquis Weiyuan was certain that with their pillow talk, Su Li would soon fall out of favor. Then, if the sisters spoke highly of the Marquis and Madam Lou, Alexander Hayes would surely reconsider and mend his relationship with the Marquis Estate.

Marquis Weiyuan’s scheming was in full swing. He stroked his chin, then pulled out two pills from his sleeve and placed one in each of the sisters’ palms. "Serve the Prince well tonight. If you please him, there will be plenty of rewards for you!"

The sisters were no fools. Having been trained since childhood to please and read people, they immediately curtsied gracefully. "We will obey the Marquis and Madam Lou’s every command."

Their voices were so sweet and soft that Marquis Weiyuan nearly lost his balance. Madam Lou shot him several sharp looks, but he didn’t even notice.

Right in front of Marquis Weiyuan and Madam Lou, the sisters swallowed the pills.

After giving their instructions, the Marquis and Madam Lou left the room and even locked the door behind them.

A triumphant look flashed across Madam Lou’s face. She spat, "After tonight, let’s see how that wretched Su Li keeps her smug attitude!"

Marquis Weiyuan snickered, "That pill is potent. Even Liu Xiahui would turn into Ximen Qing after taking it! Alexander is young and full of energy—things are sure to go well tonight. Once the timing’s right, send for that witch Su and let her witness her man with two new beauties! I can’t wait to see that wretched Su Li’s face when she walks in!"

As the Marquis and Madam Lou spoke, they heard noises from inside the room. They quickly pressed their ears to the door, listening intently.

At first, there were the heavy breaths of a man, then the soft moans of women, followed by the sound of clothing being torn. Soon after, the room was filled with the unmistakable sounds of passion.

Hearing those sounds, the Marquis and Madam Lou knew the pill was working—everything was going according to plan.

"Quick, go bring that wretched Su Li in here!" Madam Lou hurriedly ordered the maid at her side.

The maid rushed out the door, bowed her head, and knelt outside the carriage. "Princess Consort, His Highness requests your presence inside."

Inside the carriage, Su Li was sipping tea when she frowned. She thought to herself, 'Didn’t Alexander tell me to wait here? Why is he suddenly asking me to go in?'

Su Li didn’t reply right away. Instead, she glanced at Lola.

Lola jumped out of the carriage, disappeared in a flash, and quickly returned. She slipped back inside and said to Su Li, "Princess Consort, it’s true—His Highness wants you to enter the Marquis Estate."
