After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 457 Even emperors have harems

"It may not necessarily be missing, but this direction is correct."

Ye Sanqing affirmed.

Since his identity is fake, he must have a real identity.

I hope Sheng Hanyu really does have an overseas intelligence network.

"I understand. But his stance is still correct, isn't it?"

Sheng Hanyu asked a rather vague question, but it was actually quite important.

The methods used to investigate things will differ depending on whether his attitude is friendly or unfriendly.

"Hmm... let's put it together with Lu Wangshen for now."

Ye Sanqing thought for a moment and said.

When she said that, Sheng Hanyu understood that it meant "the level of danger is high, but cooperation is possible for the time being."

Since the danger level is about the same as Lu Wangshen's, we need to be more cautious.

"Those concubines..."

This is also part of the Lu family's power. Some concubines are just concubines, but some have real power. So Sheng Hanyu always used the old saying to summarize, "The eighth and ninth concubines seem to be of lower caliber and are not worth worrying about."

"Yes, that's why I didn't interfere. If Lu Mingye can't handle this kind of thing, he doesn't need to come see me again."

Ye Sanqing spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Sheng Hanyu thought to herself, "So Lu Mingye sounds like a middle manager."

He wants to be a senior manager!

"Sixth concubine is gone this time too, what about seventh concubine?"

“Since there’s no presence, then there should be… no presence.” Ye Sanqing said something that was not a pointless statement.

That's true. Sheng Hanyu recalled what happened yesterday. It seemed that the seventh concubine had just been sitting there quietly the whole time.

Ye Sanqing continued, "The fifth concubine seems to wield some real power; she's mainly involved in the medical aesthetics industry..."

At this point, she and Sheng Hanyu exchanged a glance.

The cosmetic surgery industry is rife with problems; those with a ruthless heart can make a lot of money.

"She seems to have been neglecting her duties these past few years, but she's definitely brewing something big. Her cousin, Gu Qingchuan, is also worth noting. Although he still gives me face, which means he's not completely brainless, the fact that he's eyeing Hua Duoduo... means he's not without ambition either."

"Yes, I will keep an eye on his affairs."

It's impossible to completely trust Lu Mingye's information in this matter.

In fact, all information needs to be verified and cross-referenced. For example, if the sixth concubine's family went to the police station, Sheng Hanyu also needs to follow up on whether they really explained things clearly.

He had no choice but to follow up, since the other side was the one shooting at him.

Even if they didn't order the assassins, all the things Master Ying did in China should be attributed to them.

There's no need to specifically tell Ye Sanqing about this; once the verdict is handed down, everything will be clear.

"Since the fourth concubine is deceased, she doesn't count. The third concubine is the one we need to pay attention to. But..."

Ye Sanqing thought to himself that he might never get along with the number three in his life.

She was the third child in her family, and Lu Mingye was also the third, and he was from the same lineage as the third concubine...

In other words, after the cooperation has eliminated other forces, the third concubine will become the most difficult part to deal with.

"Now that you mention it, I think I've discovered something, though I don't know if it's a joke," Sheng Hanyu said, "The Lu family doesn't have a first wife, does it?"

“That’s right, so… Lu Wangqian isn’t a legitimate son or grandson at all.”

Ye Sanqing laughed, "I found out a long time ago that he's from the second concubine's side. But the second concubine is now saying she's a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures, and she didn't even come to his wedding... This setup is kind of funny."

"There's a feeling that she's deliberately trying to position herself as the 'first wife'," Sheng Hanyu said. "But what's the deal with this 'first wife' of the Lu family?"

Not many people know this. Firstly, it's from a long time ago. After all, Old Master Lu was already in his seventies or eighties. If the events of that time were not recorded, it would be difficult for them to be passed down.

Secondly, the Lu family also gave vague answers, generally assuming that the second concubine was the legal wife, and no one would explain the specifics.

So whether this first wife was divorced, passed away, or never existed at all, no one knows.

“I’m curious too, why don’t I ask Lu Wangshen?”

Without hesitation, Ye Sanqing sent the message.

Lu Wangshen might understand this issue better than Lu Mingye.

Why are you interested in this kind of history?

Lu Wangshen always had to say a few words of small talk before getting to the point. Ye Sanqing replied, "Are you upset because you're not part of the direct line?"

Only a good-for-nothing needs the term "protégé" to elevate his status. I'm not him, I don't need it. But you've come to the right person.

After making a very clear mockery, Lu Wangshen sent a document, which was a scanned copy.

Ye Sanqing opened it and saw that it was a marriage certificate from more than sixty years ago, almost an antique.

【Then what? 】

According to the birth date recorded on this document, if this first wife were still alive, she would be older than Old Master Lu.

That's all.

Lu Wangshen's words were concise and to the point, essentially saying that there was no death certificate and no divorce papers.

[...What if this woman suddenly reappears and sues the old man for transferring marital assets...]

No way! What about my assets?

He quickly followed up with a second sentence: "Just kidding, but I think it's unlikely. You can check it out."

Ye Sanqing also knew that the possibility was not high. After all, an old lady of this age might not be willing to cause trouble, and her continued absence might mean that the First Madam had some kind of agreement with Old Master Lu.

But what if?

She didn't reply to Lu Wangshen, but showed these conversations to Sheng Hanyu.

"Huh? I just wanted to tell a joke, I didn't expect there to be such a new idea."

When Sheng Hanyu said it, her intention was merely to mock Lu Wangqian's so-called "direct descendant" theory...

But seeing Lu Wangshen also using this point to mock him, he felt that something was amiss.

Next time, I need to come up with a new joke.

"What does Lu Wangshen mean? He must have clues, but he's keeping them to himself."

It wouldn't hurt to casually make a few disparaging remarks about Lu Wangshen, would it?

"This is related to his interests. The fact that he showed me the document means that we probably wouldn't find anything even if we checked. He might not have found anything himself and is just being mysterious, putting on a show of 'I'm testing you,' trying to trick me."

Ye Sanqing said she had no intention of taking the bait.

While it's not to the point of having much of a vested interest, since Lu Wangshen's personal assets weren't obtained through his second wife, even if they could use that as a basis for a lawsuit, it wouldn't affect him. But there is a connection, and there is a connection.

Sheng Hanyu thought about it and realized that Ye Sanqing's analysis was very accurate.

If a clue can be found so easily, it's very likely to be invalid.

In other words, Lu Wangshen does not pose any threat.

Regarding the love line.

If he had any feelings for Ye Sanqing, he certainly wouldn't have this attitude.

Sheng Hanyu didn't know why she started to be more vigilant in this regard, but it couldn't hurt to be a little cautious!

after all……

Emperors all had harems...
