Initially, Su Chen had tried her best to win Sun Rui's heart. She did her best to care for his every need. In the days after court, Su Chen prepared nutritious hot soup by herself for him.
She would wait each day outside his room, waiting for him to invite her in so that she could serve him.
But the hot piping soup would turn cold and she would soon received news that he was staying the night with this or that concubine.
Even when he does return to his room, he would ignore her standing figure.
At first, she did not understand why he was so cold to her. In any case, they were childhood playmates. However, it was Steward Mo that revealed the real reason to her. On the first night they had together, somebody had drugged him. And that person was Su Chen.
Shocked, Su Chen ran to his study to clarify things but once she had reached the entrance, she stilled herself. With his suspicious mind, Rui Wang would definitely wonder how she had gotten this information and would have gotten Steward Mo killed for sharing this information with her. Steward Mo had been nothing but helpful to her the past few months. In fact, many of her plans ran smoothly because he was behind her back.
She gritted her teeth. This was definitely a setback but she would not give up. She did not mind that he visited the many women in his harem. Who did not have a couple of concubines and tongfang? She knew this even before she got married to him.
But she wanted to earn her place. If it was up to her, she would not accept the role of a deserted divorced princess consort without at least a fight.
With food no longer being a possible avenue to win his heart and show her sincerity, she decided on her next plan.
