Guide to tame my villainous husbands - Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122: Divide and conquer Chapter 1122: Divide and conquer “Was it really okay for you to provoke the officials like that?” Mo Xifeng asked as the two sisters walked out of the Imperial Court.

The two of them were headed to the chambers of the Empress as per the orders of Fu Zhao who had asked them to come and see her in the office after the morning session was done.  “Hmm?” Mo Qiang raised her head and looked at her sister.

Upon hearing her words, she smiled at Mo Xifeng and said to her, “Do you think that I was a bit too hasty to attack them?”  “I just think that there was no need to get in a quarrel with them,” Mo Xifeng said with a light voice.

They turned to another left before Mo Xifeng continued to say, “If you target them from the start wouldn’t they come after you together?” Currently, the entire Imperial Court was in a state of wait and watch but if Mo Qiang was to provoke the officials from the start, there was a chance that the officials might unite temporarily to deal with her.  “Do you think that if I had left them alone, they wouldn’t have bothered me?” Mo Qiang chuckled as she patted Mo Xifeng on the shoulder before saying to her, “You are wrong in believing that the officials would stray clear of my path just because I was polite towards them.”  Human jealousy was a dangerous thing.

This was something that she learned from working in the corporate world.

When she was just a novice, Mo Qiang had worked hard and flattered a lot of her seniors.

She would buy them coffees and cakes in an attempt to make their relationship smooth.  In the end?

She was called a woman with no backbone and not to mention her sudden promotion only made those backbiting seniors even more dissatisfied with her.

They actually spread the rumour that she was sleeping with the higher ups and was serving them.  It was because of this that Mo Qiang had to leave the company.  From then on Mo Qiang understood the complexity of human emotions.

No matter how much she treated someone well or respected them if they did not share the same sentiment, there was no point in sticking her hot face against their cold bottoms.  The officials in the court were the same.

Just now they tried to steal her ability and make it their own, if not for the fact that the Green energy was made of metaphysical particles and spiritual energy, they would have definitely stolen it.  Since they failed they would become even more greedy and the attacks on her life would only increase.  Since that was the case why would she foolishly flatter them?

Mo Qiang might as well live the way she wanted, after all, it was not in her personality to bow down to someone who didn’t deserve her respect.

“But you made them even angrier,” Mo Xifeng said to Mo Qiang as they walked past two guards who bowed to them as they entered the corridor which led to the chambers of the Empress.

“It seems like that the officials will not let you go, if this goes on then your situation in the court would become even worse.”  “After all, they have been here far longer than we have been, if they are bent on making things difficult for you€“ it might become troublesome.”  “Oh really~” Mo Qiang smirked at Mo Xifeng who looked confused but instead of answering her question, she turned to look at the man who was walking out of the Chambers of the Empress and walked over to him, “Official Lan!

Thank you for supporting me earlier.”  Lan Ke, who had not expected Mo Qiang to thank him, was stunned before he shook his head gently and remarked in a casual voice, “This is not something that you should be thanking me for.

We need young and talented individuals like you in the court or else…” he trailed off as he did not want to say any ugly words to Mo Qiang.  After all, there were no secrets in the court, as long as he uttered anything against his colleagues they would come to know of it.  “But still, if you haven’t agreed with the Empress then I wouldn’t be here,” as she spoke Mo Qiang took out a thirty per cent VIP discount card from her pockets and held it in front of her with both of her hands.

“This is a little something to show my appreciation as well as a meeting gift.”  “No, this is not appropriate,” Lan Ke wanted to refuse but before he could say anything further Mo Qiang thrust the card in his hands and told him, “It’s thanks to you that I was able to become an official.

I cannot thank you enough.

So please don’t refuse.” As she finished speaking she walked away from the spot where Lan Ke was standing, leaving the latter completely speechless.  However, as he looked at the discount card- the temptation was too big for him to refuse.

In the end, Lan Ke gritted his teeth and kept the card in his spacer ring.  In his heart, he decided to take care of Mo Qiang a bit more in the future.  While Lan Ke was won over by Mo Qiang by her small actions.

Mo Xifeng turned to look at Mo Qiang and asked, “Why did you give him the card?”  “To divide and conquer,” Mo Qiang replied quietly.

She turned and looked behind her, one of the servants who was cleaning the corridor seemed to have run away when the two of them and Lan Ke walked away.

“This information will be soon known to others and when they find out that I gave Official Lan a VIP card€“ they will wait for their actions more carefully.”  It was already proven that no one would be able to steal her ability.

So unless they wanted to offend her, they would think twice before making a move against her.
