"By the way, Your Highness," Madam Taifu turned to Xiao Yu, "what do you think of Weiwan?"

Xiao Yu waved his folding fan and his eyes fell on Shen Weiwan: "Very good, very interesting."

"Interesting?" Mrs. Taifu laughed. "I think she's quirky."

Shen Weiwan felt a little embarrassed by their gazes, and lowered her head to twist her skirt. She knew that Madam Taifu was paving the way for her. With Madam Taifu's support, Liu and Shen Ruorou would have to think carefully before making any move on her.

"It's getting late, we should say goodbye." Xiao Yu stood up, "Madam Taifu, Miss Shen, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Your Highness." The Grand Tutor's wife stood up to see him off.

Shen Weiwan also followed Fu Li, but when she lowered her head, she saw Xiao Yu winking at her. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly raised her head, only to see that Xiao Yu had already turned and left.

"This child..." Madam Taifu looked at Xiao Yu's back, thoughtfully.

After sending Xiao Yu back, Madam Taifu took Shen Weiwan's hand and said earnestly: "Weiwan, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. Your father was kind to my family back then, and I can't watch you being bullied."

Shen Weiwan felt warm in her heart and said sincerely, "Thank you, Madam." She knew that Madam Taifu was helping her for her father's sake, but she also knew that relying on her father's influence alone was not enough, and she had to rely on herself.

"Well, it's getting late. You should go home." The Taifu's wife asked someone to bring a brocade box. "This is the snack I prepared for you. Eat it on the way."

Shen Weiwan took the brocade box, which contained exquisite peach blossom cakes and almond cakes. She knew in her heart that these were not just snacks, but also a token of love from Madam Taifu.

Sitting in the carriage back home, Chuntao excitedly opened the brocade box: "Miss, look! This peach blossom pastry is made just like the real thing!"

Shen Weiwan picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. It tasted sweet. She looked at the street scene passing by outside the car window, thinking about her next move. The evidence of Liu's embezzlement and misappropriation had been collected. It was time to teach her a lesson.

"Chun Tao," Shen Weiwan suddenly said, "Tell me, if my aunt knew that I had received so many benefits from Madam Taifu, what would her expression be?"

Chun Tao thought for a moment and said with a smile, "He must have been so angry that his face turned green!"

Shen Weiwan also smiled: "Then let's wait and see her expression."

The carriage slowly drove back to the general's mansion. Shen Weiwan lifted a corner of the curtain and saw the seventh prince's carriage parked not far away. Xiao Yu was leaning against the wall of the carriage, holding a piece of peach blossom cake in his hand, smiling at her carriage.

Shen Weiwan felt sweet in her heart and quickly lowered the curtains. This Seventh Prince was becoming more and more unpredictable.

When she returned to the mansion, as expected, Liu was already waiting in Tinglan Courtyard. Seeing Shen Weiwan wearing a moon-white cloud-patterned satin skirt and holding the brocade box given by the Taifu's wife, Liu's face turned ashen instantly.

"Chen Weiwan! You still have the nerve to come back!" Liu pointed at her, "Did you go to Madam Taifu to complain about me? Otherwise, why would she give you such an expensive skirt?"

Shen Weiwan pretended to be surprised: "What did my aunt say? Madam saw that my clothes were dirty and was kind enough to reward me. But my cousin, you have made quite a splash in the Taifu Mansion today."

"You!" Liu was choked and speechless. Shen Ruorou kept crying and making a fuss after she came back, which made her lose face.

"Aunt," Shen Weiwan stepped forward and lowered her voice, "There are some things I didn't want to say, but what my cousin said at the Taifu Mansion today has reached the ears of the Madam. The Madam also asked me why the monthly allowance in the mansion is always insufficient."

Liu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing," Shen Weiwan shrugged, "I just think it's not easy for Auntie to be in charge of the household affairs. She should be more careful with her budget in the future and not let the servants take advantage of the situation and make Madam unhappy."

After saying this, Shen Weiwan no longer looked at Liu's livid face and walked into the inner room with Chuntao. She knew that this sentence was enough to frighten Liu.

In the inner room, Chun Tao couldn't help asking, "Miss, what you just said was too direct?"

Shen Weiwan took off her skirt and said with a smile: "To deal with people like Liu, you have to be straightforward. If she is smart, she should be more restrained. Otherwise..."

"How about that?"

Shen Weiwan picked up the brocade box given by Madam Taifu, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Otherwise, I don't mind letting her know what it means to be truly disgraced."

Chun Tao saw the cold light in her young lady's eyes and couldn't help but shudder. She knew that the young lady was no longer the foolish legitimate daughter who allowed herself to be bullied. From today on, the situation in the general's mansion was about to change.

At this moment in Xiefangyuan, Liu was looking at her haggard face in the mirror, trembling with anger. Shen Weiwan's words were like a thorn, piercing her heart. She knew that Shen Weiwan was warning her. If she didn't restrain herself, she might be the next one to be kicked out of the general's mansion.

"Madam," the maid Qinghe said cautiously, "why don't we just hold back a bit?"

Liu turned around abruptly, a fierce look flashing in her eyes: "Reinstate? Why! Why does that damn girl ride on my head?" She thought of the cloud-patterned satin skirt on Shen Weiwan and the favoritism of Madam Taifu towards her, and her eyes turned red with jealousy, "If I don't have a good life, she won't have one either!"

Qing He looked at Liu's distorted face and couldn't help but shudder. She knew that the Madam was going to come up with something bad again.

Shen Weiwan sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror wearing a moon-white dress, with a confident smile on her lips. Liu, Shen Ruorou, your good days are over.

The moonlight from the window shines on her, giving her a holy glow. But those who know her well know that beneath this seemingly fragile appearance lies a vengeful heart.

Next, it was Liu's turn. Shen Weiwan picked up the account book on the table, a cold glint in her eyes. She had already collected evidence of embezzlement and personal gain. It was time to give Liu a "big gift."

Chuntao looked at the light in her young lady's eyes and knew that there was another good show to watch. She couldn't help but rub her hands, looking forward to the next "surprise".

At this moment in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yu was playing with the peach blossom pastry in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his lips. Shen Weiwan, this interesting woman, always brought him surprises. He wanted to see what tricks she would come up with next.

The night in the capital was still bustling. But for the General's Mansion, a storm was quietly brewing. And at the center of the storm was the seemingly weak, yet in fact strong-willed daughter of the emperor—Chen Weiwan. Her road to revenge had just begun.
