Chapter 13 Either Bad or Stupid

You Bingyue helped the man into the hall.

The man tried to kneel, but You Bingyue frowned and stopped him: "A man's knees are worth gold; how can you kneel so casually?"

“You were just hired, not sold to them.”

The man's eyes lit up.

He knew that Miss You was different from everyone else!

Yu Zhiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

You Bingyue immediately glared at her with a sharp look: "What are you laughing at?"

Yu Zhiyi's gaze swept across the man's face: "His name is Du Sheng. He is a servant born into the Prime Minister's household. Although he was not sold to the Prime Minister's household, he was born to be a servant of the Prime Minister's household, born to kneel before every master in this household."

Du Sheng lowered his head, his face flushed with embarrassment, and the light in his eyes vanished in an instant before it could even gather into a brighter radiance.

He slowly knelt down.

You Bingyue's face turned cold as she looked at Yu Zhiyi with a sneer: "Are you feeling smug?"

Yu Zhiyi looked puzzled: "What do I have to be proud of?"

"Of course you're proud that you've taken the position of the young mistress of the Prime Minister's mansion, and that you can do whatever you want with the people below you. But let me tell you, your days of pride are numbered."

Du Sheng also remembered the purpose of his visit and took out two yellow papers from his pocket.

On the paper, there were patterns that looked like scribbles drawn in red paint.

"Master, Madam, I personally witnessed the young mistress burying these things in several places under the walls of the Prime Minister's residence. These scribbles are clearly not good things; she must be cursing the Prime Minister's residence and causing the deaths of all of us!"

You Bingyue stood ramrod straight, showing no intention of bowing to Prime Minister Du and Madam Yao.

She proudly raised her chin, her gaze towards the elderly couple filled with arrogance: "Back then, you used my humble background as an excuse to try every means to break me and Ziheng up, and even forced him to marry this woman, saying that she was of noble birth and virtuous."

She curled her lips slightly and said sarcastically, "And what was the result? This woman harbored evil intentions and wanted to kill the entire Prime Minister's residence. It was only thanks to me that her true colors were exposed. I wonder what you two are feeling now?"

You Bingyue is a vengeful person; she usually retaliates on the spot if she has a grudge.

However, because the other party was Du Ziheng's parents, she gave them some face.

But I still have to say something sarcastic.

She looked at the faces of Prime Minister Du and his wife, hoping to see expressions of fear and regret on their faces.

But all I saw were two faces with indescribable expressions.

You Bingyue: "What kind of reaction was that?"

Wasn't it said that people in ancient times were very superstitious and most averse to witchcraft and sorcery?

Why do these two people look at her with disgust instead of fear?

Did they never come into contact with this kind of thing and not know the pros and cons?

Yes, that must be it.

"Oh, you may not know what these two pieces of paper are. Let me tell you, they are talismans. Some people with evil intentions who believe in crooked ways will specifically ask for these things to harm others."

Prime Minister Du ignored her and asked Yu Zhiyi, "Yi'er, did you really put these talismans in there?"

Yao was also somewhat curious.

They didn't suspect Yu Zhiyi of having impure motives; otherwise, she wouldn't have helped them find Du Lin today.

Madam Yao was unaware, but Prime Minister Du had already found out that Du Lin's hometown was two or three hundred miles away, and they had never met before Yu Zhiyi entered the mansion.

There is absolutely no possibility that the two of them are acting together.

Moreover, although he and Liu Shan had a good relationship, it was only in private. In court, they often clashed over their different political views, and many officials felt that they did not get along.

So just because Yu Zhiyi could tell at a glance that he and Liu Shan were close friends, he believed in his abilities.

Yu Zhiyi nodded: "I put it there."

You Bingyue's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Look, she admitted that she harbored malicious intentions."

Yu Zhiyi picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip: "I only said that I put the talismans there. When did I ever say that those talismans were evil or meant to harm people?"

You Bingyue sneered: "Stop lying. Talismans used for protection are only carried on your person or kept in your room. Only things used to harm others are buried in secret."

He then turned to Prime Minister Du and said, "This woman wants to kill you all, why don't you divorce her?"

"Insolence!" Prime Minister Du coldly rebuked, "Yi'er is the young mistress, and we are the masters and mistresses of the Prime Minister's residence. You are nothing but a plaything. What right do you have to shout and point fingers here?!"

You Bingyue was furious: "You're calling me a piece of trash?!"

"A bunch of ignorant old fogies, watch me..."

"Ice Moon!"

Du Ziheng rushed over and pulled You Bingyue behind him, his face full of anger: "Father, Mother, didn't you promise me you wouldn't make things difficult for Bingyue anymore?"

Prime Minister Du and his wife were so angry they nearly fainted.

What is the meaning of raising children?

They can be really helpless sometimes.

Prime Minister Du could debate with the scholars in court, but he was always rendered speechless by his love-struck son.

Yu Zhiyi sat up straight.

The Prime Minister and his wife not only gave her their trust and respect, but were also her greatest benefactors to date, and she could not tolerate anyone bullying them.

"Du Ziheng, have you lost your mind?"

"Even if you don't have a brain, don't you at least have a mouth?"

"You didn't even ask what happened before you concluded that your father and mother were bullying you. You're not only brainless, you're also heartless!"

"My father is the Prime Minister of the country, and my mother is a first-rank noblewoman. What right do these two people have to make my father and mother lower themselves to bully them?"

"Besides, if we really wanted to bully someone, why go to all this trouble? Du Sheng is a servant of the Du family. Dealing with him is just a matter of my parents saying a word. Even I can handle him."

"As for this Miss You, she is neither a mistress of the mansion, nor a servant, nor a guest. If you call her a thief, no one will question it, and they will allow her to spout nonsense in Yimei Garden."

She spoke so fluently that she didn't even catch her breath, and Du Ziheng and the others didn't even have a chance to interrupt.

It wasn't until she took another sip of tea to moisten her lips that You Bingyue angrily retorted, "You're the thief! I was invited into the Du residence by Ziheng. If it weren't for Ziheng, I wouldn't have come to this damned Prime Minister's residence even if they begged me!"

Yu Zhiyi shook her head, her face serious: "That makes no sense. If it weren't for Young Master Du's willingness to defy his parents to let you stay, you probably wouldn't even be able to enter the Prime Minister's residence."

You Bingyue: Stop changing the subject! We're talking about your attempt to harm the Du family!

“Ziheng, this woman harbors malicious intentions and intends to use witchcraft to harm the Prime Minister’s residence. Du Sheng has already found evidence, but your parents have been bewitched by her and are actually protecting her.”

Du Ziheng frowned: "You actually want to harm the Prime Minister's residence? My parents have treated you well, do you have no conscience at all?!"

Yu Zhiyi put down her teacup and sighed softly, "Love is such a strange thing; it can turn a genius into a fool."

She shook her head and said to Prime Minister Du and his wife, "Father, Mother, I am now one with the Prime Minister's Mansion. If something happens to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will also suffer. I would only do such a stupid thing if I were a fool."

"Anyone who thinks like that is either malicious or stupid!"
