The Women Vie for a Husband

Well, thanks to Lupa's outburst, it's no longer just about Kexi cheating on others and toying with their feelings.

Rather, it rose to the level of a woman's attractiveness.

They couldn't sit still any longer.

No matter who this woman is, she would never admit that she is less attractive than others.

Suisui opened her small fan, proudly raised her head, unwilling to be outdone, "Magistrate Jin, don't speak too confidently. Even if you are the Lord Prime Minister, so what? My Suisui is incredibly wealthy. No matter what rare treasures or divine weapons he desires, even if he wants the stars in the sky, I can build him a Star-Picking Tower for his amusement."

"Magistrate Jin, can you do all this? Besides, Montelli is the richest man in Rinascita and has many collaborations with my Zhaoming Merchant Association. I, Suisui, am a perfect match for him, a match made in heaven. Miss Carlotta, what do you think?"

Suisui directly highlighted her strengths, which was so simple and unpretentious.

They practically have "I'm rich" written all over their faces.

Carlotta nodded in agreement. "Miss Suisui is absolutely right."

The cooperation between Montelli and Zhaoming Merchant Association is inseparable, and it would be excellent if the two could unite.

Having gained Carlotta's approval, Suisui smiled contentedly and looked at Jinhsi triumphantly.

"Besides his title of Prime Minister, what else does the Magistrate Jin have?"

"You..." Jinhsi was speechless as she looked at Suisui's smug expression.

She really didn't have much besides being the Prime Minister, and she wasn't as wealthy as Suisui.

You asked her if a Jinzhou magistrate would be short of money?

That's Jinzhou's money, not Jinhsi's money. Misappropriating public funds is called embezzlement.

Jinhsi could only glare at her resentfully, "So what if you have a few stinking coins?"

"You're right, Magistrate Jin, money really does make a difference."

Can you guess who said that?

Jinhsi turned her gaze to the back.

The speaker was Changli.

Cantarella beside me.

Changli rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, "What are you doing?"

Cantarella ignored her and instead strolled forward slowly, joining the fray.

"My Feysac Family, has a history of several hundred years in Rinascita, with a profound heritage that is no less than that of the Montelli. If the Montelli are willing to put aside their conflicts and form a marriage alliance with my Fisalia family, our combined strength will surely propel Rinascita's economy and technology to another level."

"I wonder what Miss Carlotta thinks?" Cantarella looked at Carlotta, speaking with utmost sincerity, awaiting Carlotta's reply.

Cantarella's words truly moved Carlotta.

The open and covert struggle between Fisalia and Montelli has been going on for who knows how many years.

If they can put aside their past grievances, that would be wonderful.

But is what this poisonous jellyfish said really that simple?

Carlotta expressed her doubts, but seeing her sincere attitude, she chose to believe her for the time being.

"Fisalia Family is absolutely right. If Fisalia Family is willing to marry Kexi, it would be a good thing for Montelli, Fisalia, and even Rinascita."

Hearing that Fisalia and Montelli were going to get married.

The Order was far from sitting still; this was not the outcome they had hoped for.

Order Alex, the highest-ranking Privy Council on the order's side, stepped forward with a stiff upper lip and said, "Miss Carlotta, Young Master Kexi has a very close relationship with Priest Phoebe of our Order. They were once blessed by Imperator, who said that their union was a match made in heaven. Surely Miss Carlotta would not go against God's will?"

He directly used God's name to pressure Carlotta.

"Huh?" Phoebe was stunned. When did he and Kexi receive Imperator's blessing? How come she didn't know?

"Priest Alex, I..." Phoebe was about to ask him when he stopped her.

"Reverend Phoebe, now is not the time for you to say more."

Of course, Phoebe and Kexi never received Imperator's blessing; it was all made up by him. He certainly couldn't stand by and watch Montelli and Fisalia marry. Phoebe was just a sacrifice he pushed out.

If these two organizations were to join forces, the impact on their Order would undoubtedly be enormous, and it would be detrimental to the Order's rule.

Changli Cantarella had already gone into the water, Changli didn't care about saving face anymore. Cantarella, you were the one who went shamelessly first.

She said calmly, "Wait a minute."

Her gaze swept over everyone present, lingering on Jinhsi for a moment before quickly shifting away. She spoke, "I am the Ministry of Central Affairs the Magistrate's Office. As long as I recommend someone, whether it is a general commanding thousands of troops, a high-ranking official in the court, or a prefect in charge of a province, the Dragon Lord will certainly consider it accordingly."

"If Miss Carlotta were to give me Kexi, Huanglong and resource-rich land; surely you wouldn't refuse such an opportunity?"

Changli appeared to be questioning Carlotta, but she already had a plan in mind.

No one with common sense would refuse such an opportunity.

Indeed, Carlotta was persuaded by her.

If someone from Montelli could hold a high position in Huanglong, it would undoubtedly bring them enormous benefits. After all, Rinascita is just an island nation with scarce resources, far inferior to Huanglong.

How could the value of Fisalia possibly compare to that of a behemoth like Huanglong?

Needless to say, the blessings of those Order Buddhism are also ethereal and intangible.

He is the current head of the Montelli Family.

Carlotta had to consider her family's interests.

She was tempted.

At this moment, someone could no longer stand.

Jinhsi's steps were unsteady, her eyes filled with disbelief as she stared at Changli, as if in a dream, and she murmured, "Teacher Changli... what are you saying?"

Jinhsi's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to be forcefully pulled out from the depths of her throat.

Her eyes were red-rimmed as she stared at Changli's retreating figure, her lips pressed together until they turned white.

Changli didn't turn around to look at her, nor did he dare to.

But her fingers gripped her sleeve tightly.

"Teacher Changli, what did you just say?" Jinhsi took another step forward, standing behind Changli, her voice trembling, "You want Carlotta to give Kexi... to you?"

Changli finally turned around.

Her gaze fell on Jinhsi's face, her expression calm.

Her voice was lower than usual. "Jinhsi, let's talk about this later."

"No." Jinhsi shook her head, shaking it very forcefully. "You'd better make yourself clear in front of everyone today."

Changli silent for a moment.

Everyone in the hall stopped arguing and turned to look at the master and apprentice.

Even Suisui put away her small fan, while Cantarella continued to watch the show. This drama between the master and apprentice was the focus of her attention today.

"Alright," Changli said calmly. "Let me make myself clear. I am the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Central Affairs the Magistrate's Office. My recommendation will not be rejected by the Dragon Lord. As long as Carlotta nods, Montelli will have a position in the Huanglong Court. No one can refuse this offer."

Jinhsi's pupils contracted slightly.

"So you want to use this to exchange for him?" Jinhsi's voice was so soft it seemed to drift from a great distance.

"Yes." Changli looked at her without flinching.

Jinhsi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything.

Her shoulders slumped, as if a string that had been stretched for too long had finally snapped.

She lowered her head, tears falling to the ground drop by drop.
