Qiao Ruofeng clutched her chest and looked at the man in front of her desperately. "Your Highness, you just wanted to use me from the very beginning, didn't you?"
Prince Mediocre nodded and said, "Duke Anyuan is very powerful. His eldest daughter married into the Duke Qin Mansion, and his second daughter was too spoiled to gain Lu Chen's favor even if she could marry into the East Palace.
"Besides, when Lu Chen was missing, if I proposed to Qiao Ruoshui, I would have to make her my wife, but Miss Lin is more suitable to be my wife.
"Qiao Ruoshui is not qualified to be my wife, so you are a perfect choice for me because marrying you as my concubine can win over Duke Anyuan."
Qiao Ruofeng propped against the pillar beside her with a hand and asked slowly, "Then don't you need to win over Duke Anyuan now?"
Prince Mediocre smiled, his eyes full of calculation.
