As soon as Chen Mingyue heard what Duke Huiguo said, she knew that no matter what she did next, Duke Huiguo would fully support her.

This was a right she had only officially acquired after marrying into the Duke of Huiguo's mansion for nearly a year. She couldn't help but begin to imagine herself using the Duke of Huiguo to bully Wan Shufang and force her to do things for her.

When Chen Mingyue thought about Wan Shufang abandoning all her dignity and kneeling in front of her to beg her, she felt as comfortable as if she had drunk some iced sour plum soup in the middle of summer.

She couldn't wait to plot against Wan Shufang, seeing her kneeling in front of her crying and begging for mercy.

"Duke, just relax. Leave this matter to me and I will handle it properly. Even His Majesty won't be able to find any fault with it." Chen Mingyue was full of confidence and advised Duke Hui to be more at ease with her.

Seeing how confident she was, Duke Huiguo swallowed back the warning he was about to blurt out and turned it into trust.

"Since you are so confident, I'll leave this matter to you. If there are any problems, you have to find a way to solve them yourself, and you can't implicate the entire Huiguo Mansion."

No matter how much Duke Huiguo hoped that the Phoenix Gu was real, he knew clearly that the pursuit of immortality should not be known to outsiders, so he specifically instructed Chen Mingyue to be careful and not to implicate the Duke Huiguo's Mansion.

Chen Mingyue couldn't wait to use this matter to please the emperor and his wife. She agreed to what Duke Huiguo said. As for whether she listened to him or not, only she knew.

Although Duke Huiguo is old, he was not a good-tempered person when he was young.

If Chen Mingyue didn't do her job well enough, Duke Huiguo would naturally have a way to distance himself from it and make Chen Mingyue pay the price for her actions.

Therefore, the couple each had their own thoughts, and for a while their time together seemed to be somewhat indescribably warm and harmonious.

Chen Mingyue was so concerned about pleasing the Emperor and his wife that she only spent half an hour with Duke Huiguo before rushing to the Mo family to find Mo Lanyue.

She wanted to deal with Wan Shufang, so naturally she had all kinds of calculations in her mind, and she also knew what to do to make Wan Shufang work for her own benefit.

But she couldn't carry out her plans, and Duke Huiguo had just given her some instructions. Even if she wanted to take action, she had to find a shield to protect herself.

Mo Lanyue was the one she chose. Anyway, Mo Lanyue really wanted to learn from Mo Lanlan to please the queen and gain some benefits from her.

Chen Mingyue believed that Mo Lanyue would do anything to achieve her goal. The two of them hit it off and could cooperate, but she had to take the lead in this matter.

If Mo Lanyue wants to be her boss, Chen Mingyue will definitely turn against her and make Mo Lanyue regret it for the rest of her life.

With shameful thoughts in mind, Chen Mingyue said arrogantly as soon as she saw Mo Lanyue at the Mo family: "I agree with what you said before."

Agree to what? Mo Lanyue was confused by Chen Mingyue's words, and her brows twisted into a knot unconsciously.

Seeing that Chen Mingyue was as arrogant as ever, as if she had never taken her seriously from the beginning to the end, even if Mo Lanyue wanted to use her and cooperate with her to achieve her own goals, she was disgusted by her behavior.

"Chen Mingyue, what are you crazy about?" Mo Lanyue asked sarcastically.

This reaction was beyond Chen Mingyue's expectations, and her face darkened instantly. She said in an extremely cold voice: "Don't you want to surrender to the Queen? I have a way to make your wish come true now, why are you not happy?"

She asked at the end, "Have you convinced Madam Mo to help you?"

After saying all these words in one breath, Chen Mingyue felt that she had been betrayed. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face was very ugly: "The Queen is not so easy to deceive. If she sees your grandparents' scheme, it will only make her hate the Mo family even more."

"Mo Lanyue, how did Mo Lanlan die? Have you forgotten? The Queen was ruthless and left no evidence. Her status is clear, how dare we go against her?"

When Chen Mingyue said this, her expression became very anxious.

She seemed to be very worried that Moranyue would try to please the Queen behind her back. If so, wouldn't the promise she made to Duke Huiguo be in vain?

She had finally managed to make Duke Huiguo look at her differently, so how could she let a fool like Moranyue ruin her plan?

She raised her voice unconsciously and threatened coldly: "The queen doesn't have a good temper like me. If you offend her, it will bring disaster to the Mo family. Mo Lanyue, if you don't want to end up like Mo Lanlan, you have to listen to me, otherwise even if I am the wife of the Duke of Huiguo, I can't save you and the Mo family."

Hearing Chen Mingyue's threatening words, Moranyue was so scared that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth.

After a moment, she felt that there was something wrong with Chen Mingyue's attitude, and she couldn't help but concentrate and look her up and down.

Seeing the inexplicable anxiety between her brows, Mo Lanyue was slightly surprised.

She began to wonder where Chen Mingyue's anxiety came from, but she didn't know about the Phoenix Gu, nor did she know that Chen Mingyue had any thoughts about it.

I just think that Chen Mingyue also wants to please the Queen and gain her support so as to gain a firm foothold in the Duke Huiguo's Mansion.

Chen Mingyue has no ability at all, but she wants to dominate everything and make others listen to her. Mo Lanyue is also a proud and arrogant person, and she is determined to surpass Mo Lanlan, so how can she bow her head to Chen Mingyue's affairs.

But Chen Mingyue is now the wife of Duke Huiguo, not the one who was divorced and abandoned at home and became mute. If she insists on her own ideas, Chen Mingyue might use Duke Huiguo to suppress her.

Mo Lanyue's mind raced as she quickly weighed the pros and cons. She couldn't help but feel the rage rising in her chest, but she tried her best to control her emotions on her face so as not to let Chen Mingyue see any sign of it.

She was weak and had little influence, so she was no match for Chen Mingyue. Apart from hiding herself from him, she had no other way to deal with Chen Mingyue.

It was also at this moment that she realized why Mo Lanlan had chosen to rely on the Queen and Concubine De. It was obvious that after she realized that Chen Mingyue had become the wife of Duke Huiguo, no matter how eloquent she was, she could no longer control Chen Mingyue with words.

"What do you want me to do?" Mo Lanyue asked with a forced smile, but in her heart she wanted more and more to step on Chen Mingyue to climb up, so that Chen Mingyue would never dare to threaten her like she did today again.

Seeing Mo Lanyue bowing to her, Chen Mingyue was quite proud in her heart, and her face showed some pride, but she said: "The Queen needs Wan Shufang, we have to let Wan Shufang surrender to the Queen."

How is it related to Wan Shufang? Mo Lanyue was confused, and looked at Chen Mingyue with suspicion.

She asked tentatively: "Wan Shufang is the general's wife. If the queen needs her, she can make her submit with just one order. Why do we need to find a way to make Wan Shufang submit to the queen?"
