Yunzhi didn't want to pay any attention to the other party and directly said to the gatekeeper, "Tell her to go back and that I won't see her."

However, Madam Xu did not leave. Upon hearing that Yunzhi was not going to see her, she directly threatened, "If she doesn't see me, I will kneel here at the gate and refuse to leave. Then, everyone can see how the Regent's Consort treats her own mother."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper's face darkened, and he had no choice but to consult Yunzhi again.

Upon hearing the gatekeeper's words, Yunzhi sneered and said, "Since she insists on seeing me, then let her in. I want to see how big her nose is."

Soon, Madam Xu was brought in. Accompanying her were her sister-in-law, Lin Meijiao, and Madam Xu's beloved daughter, Yunzhu.

Upon seeing Yunzhi, Madam Xu snorted coldly and sat down on the chair next to her. Lin Meijiao and Yunzhu greeted Yunzhi and said, "Greetings, elder sister."

Yunzhi glanced at the two of them indifferently, then turned her gaze to Madam Xu and said coldly, "I wonder what brings you here today, Madam?"

"Yunzhi, you've really grown up now. You don't even call me 'Mother' anymore." Madam Xu looked displeased, feeling that Yunzhi had no manners at all.

Upon hearing her words, Yunzhi sneered, pulling out the waiver she had just signed yesterday from her sleeve pocket as she said, "Mrs. Xu, let me remind you, we've already severed ties, haven't we?"

"This is a pledge. Please read it carefully, Madam. I hope you will stop referring to yourself as my mother. Otherwise, I can have several copies of this pledge made and plastered all over the streets and alleys of the capital."

"You?" Madam Xu's face instantly turned ugly. She thought that Yunzhi, now that she had been betrothed to the Regent, would at least have some consideration for her reputation. But unexpectedly, she was just like before.

Damn it, with her like this, how can they possibly achieve their goal of coming here today?

"Alright, Madam, why don't you tell us your purpose for coming?" Yunzhi didn't want to waste time on Xu Shi or other unworthy people, so she got straight to the point.

Yunzhu originally didn't want to speak, but seeing her mother's aggrieved expression, she couldn't help but criticize Yunzhi, saying, "Eldest sister, how can you talk to Mother like that? So what if there's a written agreement? Aren't you Mother's biological mother? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world for treating Mother like this?"

"Yunzhu, have I been too kind to you? How dare you criticize me like that? Guards, slap her in the face."

At Yunzhi's command, Rulan rushed to Yunzhu's side and slapped her across the face.

To be honest, Rulan had wanted to make a move for a long time. She didn't know why these three people had come today. But she did know that they definitely didn't have good intentions.

I won't go into what they did to Miss before, but I'll just say that on the day Miss returned home after her divorce, both Madam Xu and Lin Meijiao wanted her to become a nun. As for Yunzhu, it's true she didn't show up. But Madam Xu wanted to give her Miss's dowry, which shows she's no good either.

Therefore, when the young lady asked her to slap herself, she naturally wouldn't let her down.

Before Yunzhu could react, she was slapped and immediately stunned. She glared at Rulan and cursed, "You little brat, how dare you hit me!"

As she spoke, she tried to retaliate. Unexpectedly, Rulan grabbed her wrist and said with a smile, "Second Miss, I am acting under orders."
