Chapter 1078 Lu Yuzhen Is the Future Prince Consort
- Shangguan Xu nodded swiftly. “Father, I know what to do. Don’t worry, I will not disappoint you.”
- “That’s great.” Shangguan Zhou reached out to pat Shangguan Xu’s shoulder. “Xu, I always had high hopes for you. If you are able to get married with Xia Micheng smoothly and procure the Ancient Lanlou Kingdom, I would be able to step aside without worry and hand you Huaxi Province!”
- In all honesty, Shangguan Zhou never wanted Xia Micheng to get married with his son. However, he would be able to procure Ancient Lanlou Kingdom through a union via mirage with Xia Micheng. By then, Xia Micheng would be at my disposal, whereas Lin Hurou, the woman I love, would end up in my hands. Marriage is the quickest and best way forward. Besides, Xia Micheng is now in Huaxi Province territory, and it means she is at our mercy. I honestly have nothing to be afraid of. The only thing that might change is Shangguan Xu. I have to guard against Shangguan Xu in case he colludes with Xia Micheng. Shangguan Xu’s attitude right now seems flexible and fluid, as though he has not truly decided which way to go. The son I’m proudest of, Shangguan Xu, is also a cunning man.
