"Her?" Luo Linfei widened her eyes, "How could it be her? Why would she do that?"
"Hmph, that old woman had wanted her young daughter to become a concubine for Prince Le before the new year, but unfortunately Prince Le was not interested. Meanwhile, Yang Chuxiaâs short-lived cousin became the secondary princess consort, and just for that, the old woman of the Prime Ministerâs family has kept it in her heart."
First Madam Luo immediately continued, "That little daughter of her family is no good either. At such a young age, sheâs already looking for a husband herself. Who knows when she met that brat Linhao, and she even fancies him."
"Hasnât Linhao already been engaged to a girl from the Yang Family? Given the relationship between Luo Linhao and the Yang Family, they certainly wonât call off the engagement. So, the Madam of the Prime Ministerâs scheme kicks in. If that girl from the Yang Family canât bear children, she believes your good third uncle will definitely not leave his son without heirs and would definitely break off the engagement with the Yang Family. Then the Prime Ministerâs familyâs opportunity would come."
"Oh mother, how could you be so foolish?" Luo Linfei got anxious as soon as she heard it, "We absolutely canât let anyone know that Yang Xiayun canât conceive, nor can we let the third branch call off the engagement. What we want is for the third branch to have no children, so that we can adopt the first branchâs offspring in the future. Itâs definitely not to let the third branch marry another who can have children. If the third branch marries someone from the Prime Ministerâs family and has children in the future, what would we have left?"
"Of course your mother knows." First Madam Luo pouted, "Both father and son in the third branch are romantics. Your third aunt has been gone for so many years, and your third uncle hasnât remarried anyone new, and Luo Linhao is the same. They definitely wouldnât call off the engagement just because Yang Xiayun canât have children. So the Madam of the Prime Ministerâs plan is doomed to fail."
"Iâm just using her, having her take action on this matter, so even if itâs found out, it wonât be related to us."
First Madam Luo then sighed, "Actually, if a woman canât conceive, itâs not as resolvable as if a man canât. If the girl from the Yang Family canât conceive, Luo Linhao will eventually take a concubine, and children will still be needed, so weâll still have to deal with it then."
"Thatâs true, but we canât make a move on Luo Linhao, so we can only start with Yang Xiayun." Luo Linfei said.
Indeed, since the last time this mother and daughter plotted against the third branchâs title, First Madam Luo discussed with Old Master Luo and felt that Luo Linfeiâs method of cutting off descendants, though a bit ruthless, was quite effective.
At that time, Old Master Luo sent people to try to infiltrate Luo Linhaoâs army to poison him, but he didnât expect Luo Linhaoâs troops to be particularly strict, and almost as soon as those two entered the camp, they were captured.
To avoid leaking secrets, the two committed suicide.
From this incident, Old Master Luo realized that approaching Luo Linhao directly was not feasible, so he had to target someone else.
First Madam Luo knew well Yang Chuxiaâs cleverness and didnât want to act directly herself. It so happened that when she was visiting the Tong Family, she overheard the young girl from the Prime Ministerâs family talking with the Tong familyâs girl, and suddenly came up with an idea.
She merely said two sentences in front of the Madam of the Prime Minister, saying if the girl from the Yang Family couldnât bear children, even if Luo Linhao liked her, he wouldnât marry a girl from the Yang Family again.
Just like that, she said two sentences, and the Madam of the Prime Minister took action.
"But Iâm still a bit worried." First Madam Luo added, "I heard that the person from the Mu Family went to Prince Anâs Mansion last night, I donât know how that turned out."
