Chapter 1629: Enemy of the enemy 1628
“These two seem to have some contradictions,” Tan Rou observed for a while, then said to Samiyi, “Did they have issues with each other before?”
Samiyi recalled a moment and then spoke, “It seems there was a bit of contradiction, I heard it from others. There’s an old gardener in the palace, he loves to gossip with people, and I sometimes listen to their conversations there, so I heard about the issues between Monica, Busodi, and Elinka.”
“Could it be a love triangle?” Tan Rou asked with interest.
“It’s not,” Samiyi said. “Royal family members can’t really find love, my situation is an example.”
“What kind of contradictions did those three have?” Tan Rou curiously inquired.
Samiyi spoke, “You might remember the incidents with the previous wives of Busodi, right? Although those poor women died, it hasn’t stopped the nobility from wanting to push their daughters onto Busodi, and Elinka was one of them.”
“Um…” Tan Rou thought for a moment then frowned, “Busodi is old enough to be Elinka’s father, and she, a noble lady, is marrying Busodi to become who knows which number wife. Is this for real?”
“Ah!” Samiyi sighed, “A noble lady’s status is given by her family, and what are they without their family? Thus, even though Busodi is quite old, many still want to marry their young daughters to him; even if the girls are unwilling, for the sake of their family, they must agree.”
“But I heard Elinka agreed to this marriage, and she was quite willing to marry Prince Busodi. Prince Busodi was also quite pleased with her and was planning to make her his new wife,” Samiyi added.
“Then something unexpected happened?” guessed Tan Rou. “Busodi fell for Monica?”
Samiyi nodded and said, “Yes, during a banquet Busodi saw the beautiful Monica and fell madly in love with her. He quickly married Monica and brought her home. You know the rest, Monica bore Busodi twin sons, and he grew even more fond of her.”
“So that’s how it was,” Tan Rou stroked her chin, pondering. “Elinka wanted to marry Busodi but was cut off halfway by a woman with low education and poor background; she couldn’t swallow her pride, so she started opposing Monica.”
Samiyi mentioned, “This is the first time I’ve seen them fight like this.” She didn’t even want to look at the two; one was the duchess, the other had been taught noble etiquette since childhood, but both threw etiquette away and made a scene in public, truly losing the nobility’s face.
“Samiyi, I suddenly have a great idea,” Tan Rou’s mind sparked with a plan to deal with Monica, “Since there’s a conflict between Elinka and Monica, why don’t we use that to our advantage?”
“We could leak news of Monica’s affair to Elinka. Elinka wants to marry Busodi so badly, what do you think she will do when she hears about Monica’s affair?”
Samiyi was also very surprised, “Right, if Elinka finds out, she will definitely cause a commotion, and then Duke Busodi’s house will be too disturbed to bother with me.”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” said Tan Rou. “I dislike Monica, the same goes for Elinka. Let them fight between themselves; it will save us some trouble.”
Samiyi asked curiously, “Do you have a grudge against Elinka?”
Tan Rou replied, “I ran into her on the street a few days ago; she deliberately blocked my way and was so arrogant even after I scolded her. I wanted to beat her up, but Miss Mia from Duke Delder’s House stopped me.”
“Mia?” Samiyi also remembered the name, “Is that the person who stole your things?”
Tan Rou laughed, “That’s all in the past now, let’s not bring it up anymore. Miss Mia is now my friend; I wouldn’t want to make my friend uncomfortable.”
Samiyi said no more, “Alright, it’s your call.”
