In her previous life, Ye Zhen was the most noble lady in the capital, but her life was tragically miserable! Her identity was stolen, her adoptive parents forced her to marry to their death, her hu...
If the person in front of him were a servant of the Marquis's mansion, how could he dare to oppose the Marquis's mansion and even target the eldest young lady?
Moreover, he noticed that although Ye Zhen was dressed plainly, his demeanor was just like that of the noblemen he had seen on the street.
Ye Zhen nodded, "I am indeed not a servant, I am the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion."
Wu Er's expression immediately changed. "Young Madam, please go back. My brother and I are of ill fate and dare not get involved in the infighting within the Marquis's mansion."
The nobles of this world have always regarded them as worthless weeds. Now, the young mistress wants to use them to deal with the eldest young lady. Who knows what will happen to them after they have been used?
"You must have been inquiring about the Marquis's residence these days, so you must know that the Marquis's wife has been left on the estate."
On the surface, it was for recuperation, but in reality, it was a punishment imposed by the Marquis of Zhongyong. This was my doing.
Starting tomorrow, I will be in charge of the Marquis's mansion, with the eldest young lady assisting me. But she will definitely not be content with that. If I lose power, the eldest young lady will become the steward.
Then your hopes of revenge will be even slimmer; you might even be secretly dealt with by the young lady before you even see the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor.
In their previous lives, the two of them were probably sent to the estate by the Lady of the Marquis as soon as they arrived, and then disposed of in secret.
Ye Zhen added, "If I were to reveal to the young lady that Wu Da has younger siblings, you would certainly not survive until tomorrow."
The boy was furious. "Are you threatening me?"
Back then, the eldest brother sold himself to support him and his sister.
But the elder brother heard that nobles liked to use their family members to blackmail their servants, thereby coercing the servants into loyalty.
The older brother was worried about his and his sister's safety, so he concealed their existence and visited them secretly all these years.
Now that his elder brother has been silenced by the Lady of the Marquis for learning the eldest daughter's secret, he and his sister must not be exposed.
Ye Zhen nodded. "Just take it as a threat."
But it was also saving the lives of the brother and sister.
Although the Marquis's wife is not in the manor in this life, there are many of her confidants in the manor. If this brother and sister really cause trouble, it will be difficult for them to escape their fate from their previous life.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll stop the Marquis of Loyalty and Courage in the street and tell everyone what you did today?"
The boy was quick-witted and turned the tables, threatening Ye Zhen instead.
Ye Zhen looked at him as if she were seeing the children she had raised in the south, and a smile appeared in her eyes. "I'm scared, so your sister Wu Youmi has to come with me."
"Now that I've just taken over the household, I need some of my own people. If you cooperate, and once the eldest young lady and the Lady of the Marquis are completely overthrown, and your sister doesn't want to stay in the Marquis's mansion, I can let her leave."
The boy quickly shielded his sister behind him, saying, "Don't even think about it."
Terrified, she realized that this person even knew her sister's name, which showed that she was very knowledgeable about their family.
Ye Zhen maintained his calm expression, "You have no choice."
On the other side, Xie Jinyao waited for a long time but no one came out, and she couldn't wait any longer.
He ordered his maid to prepare a veil and then stormed into Jinluzhai.
