The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 1458: Xiao Jingrui’s Past

Translator: Lonelytree

Even if he was sad about his mother, he should have gone to Consort Ming Fei’s chambers and not to the lake.

Everyone knew and understood this, but no one had the guts to provoke the Empress.

Therefore, these two cases were like huge rocks, silently submerged in the bottom of the lake, and no one moved them anymore.

But when Xiao Jingrui came to the Lu Family, Grand Secretary Lu was unusually angry and resentful.

Speaking of the cause of all this, it was all because the Eighth Prince had helped the Second Prince.

Now that his grandson, the eighth prince, was no longer around, the culprit behind this was still alive and well.

Therefore, when the Second Prince Xiao Jingrui came to the door and asked Scholar Lu’s help to avenge the Eighth Prince, Scholar Lu refused without thinking.

But how could Xiao Jingrui give up?

If the first time didn’t work, then the second time, and if the second time didn’t work, then the third time. If three times didn’t work, then he would keep kneeling until he convinced Grand Secretary Lu.

It wasn’t until half a year later that Grand Scholar Lu was finally moved by Xiao Jingrui’s sincerity.

He promised to help Xiao Jingrui, but he needed Xiao Jingrui’s guarantee that he would never expose their relationship before the success.

This was because if they revealed even a little, they might face the disaster of extermination.

After getting Xiao Jingrui’s promise, Grand Secretary Lu personally taught Xiao Jingrui how to read and write and how to play politics.

Xiao Jingrui was extremely smart and studious, which surprised Scholar Lu. He couldn’t help but be tempted.

Perhaps the Second Prince could really succeed and avenge Consort Ming Fei and his grandson.

Grand Scholar Lu was moved, but he did not show it on his face.

After a year, when Grand Secretary Lu thought that he had nothing to give to Xiao Jingrui, he took him to the Lingyun General to learn military strategy and fighting skills.

After another half a year, the student surpassed the master.

After Xiao Jingrui was ready in all aspects, they planned how to make him look good in front of the Emperor.

Not long after, the emperor coveted Longyan Kingdom and planned to annex it.

Previously, he had sent several generals, but they all returned in failure.

He had no choice but to use General Lingyun again.

Previously, Lingyun was the one who led the invasion of the Longyan Kingdom.

However, perhaps because his achievements were envied by others, or perhaps because his achievements shocked the emperor, the emperor dismissed General Lingyun and appointed Yun Fei, the nephew of the empress, as the general to lead the army to continue attacking Longyan Kingdom.

However, Yun Fei did not have much ability. After fighting a few times, he returned with failure.

The few cities that General Lingyun had occupied previously had been taken back by the other party.

However, he gave the excuse that the enemy general was too powerful. He knew their every move.

The emperor was too ambitious. Since Yunfei had failed several times, he would use Lingyun again to restore his position as the general and continue to attack Longyan Kingdom.

However, General Lingyun used the excuse that he was old and could not command the battlefield.

For a moment, there was no suitable candidate, causing the Emperor to hesitate.

At this time, the Second Prince, Xiao Jingrui, went to the royal study to find the Emperor and made a military pledge that he would win the battle.

The Emperor didn’t believe it at first, but when Xiao Jingrui made a thorough analysis of the geographical environment of the border between the Black Cloud Kingdom and the Longyan Kingdom, as well as the deployment of the army, the Emperor was particularly surprised.

However, there was no one else to choose from, so why not try it out?

The next day, the Emperor appointed the Second Prince Xiao Jingrui as the Great General to attack Longyan Country.

On the third day, Xiao Jingrui left with the army.

When the Empress found out, it was already too late to stop them.

After that, Xiao Jingrui really won several battles, which caused the Empress’s

panic and uneasiness..
