Chapter 10 No Rules
Du Ziheng opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
You Bingyue also came to the bridge. Du Ziheng frowned: "Why did you come to cause trouble for her? Didn't I promise you that I would never have anything happen between me and her? We just asked her for help, and you went and messed with her people. What kind of behavior is that?"
“You are my man, but she has taken the title of my wife. What’s wrong with me standing up for myself?” Yu Bingyue’s eyes were filled with anger, and then she said disdainfully, “Besides, she’s just a sheltered young lady. What ability does she have to help me? It’s just that your parents are backing her up, and she’s just trying to fool you.”
"It's all a tactic!"
She was displeased: "Even without their help, I could handle it myself."
She didn't think much about the inexplicable fall, assuming that she had accidentally fallen into the water due to excessive force.
Du Ziheng felt that the truth was not as she described.
However, he has no time to pursue the matter right now.
Yu Bingyue's clothes were already close-fitting, and after falling into the water, everything that should and shouldn't be shown was exposed.
He sent Du Lin away, while he escorted You Bingyue back to the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
At that time, Yu Zhiyi had already returned to Linfeng Pavilion, and Zi Yuan was still somewhat indignant: "That woman went too far!"
"What kind of thing dares to stand in front of Miss and act so arrogantly? It's not even as good as a concubine!"
At least a concubine has a title, but what's the difference between that woman and a mistress who can't be brought into the open?
"Alright, calm down." Yu Zhiyi poured her a cup of tea. "I promise you, if she ever causes trouble, I'll teach her a lesson just like I did today, okay?"
Yu Zhiyi hadn't planned to pay attention to You Bingyue before because in her past life, every time You Bingyue attacked Yu Jiaojiao, Yu Jiaojiao would run up to her first and then retaliate.
Yu Zhiyi thought she was different from Yu Jiaojiao, and that they could maintain a superficial peace.
Little did she know, she was wrong.
However, she is someone who wants to accumulate merit, and she cannot ruin her spiritual path for someone who is not worthy.
But if the other party comes to her seeking abuse, then she can't be blamed.
Moreover, she discovered something interesting.
She still couldn't see through You Bingyue's appearance.
It was the same in her past life, and she never expected that even after being reborn, it would still be the same.
There are generally only two reasons for this phenomenon: either the other person is also a member of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), or they know someone from the Xuanmen and have used secret methods to conceal their appearance to prevent outsiders from seeing through them.
Or...
The other party is a chosen one.
Yu Zhiyi couldn't figure out the other party's background for the time being, but she didn't dwell on it too much.
In any case, neither possibility will have any impact on her.
In the future, Du Ziheng will establish his own residence and move out, at which point she will remain in the Prime Minister's residence, and they will have even less interaction.
The only problem is having children.
In her previous life, You Bingyue was unable to give birth to a child until her accidental death, which was a bit of a headache.
She quickly shook off her chaotic thoughts and continued setting up the formation.
She had just set up a defensive formation for the entire Prime Minister's residence. This formation would only be effective at night, and she had also left openings at the main gate and several side gates.
As long as no one tries to climb over the wall or crawl through the dog hole in the middle of the night, the formation will not be triggered.
However, if there are any fools who are not careful, they will be injured by the formation.
The Prime Minister's residence is well-defended; any disturbance will alert the guards.
Most importantly, she also made some changes to the defensive formation, so that if someone actually tampered with the formation, she could "see" what the other person looked like.
Even if the other party manages to escape by chance, they cannot escape her sharp eyes.
She remembered that in her past life, Prime Minister Du had been framed. Although it was found out a few months later that he was innocent, if such things were to happen, Yu Zhiyi would also suffer.
She was too lazy to bother with anything else. If she could nip the danger in the bud, she certainly wouldn't let it grow into a towering tree.
Setting up the array in Linfeng Pavilion was even simpler. She didn't even need to find a reason. She could just go out and tend to the flowers and plants, or take a stroll around the wall, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion from anyone.
Just as Yu Zhiyi finished her work, a servant came to report: "Young Madam, the Lady of Wu'an Marquis has arrived."
"Let her in."
Lady Wu'an's face was full of smiles: "The Celestial Master is indeed a Celestial Master, so amazing!"
His son was a bit rebellious. He had been engaged to a woman, but he looked down on her because she was the daughter of a military officer, unlike the gentle and refined ladies in the capital. He repeatedly threatened to break off the engagement.
Miss Tan was so angry when she heard that her son had almost been beaten to death for harassing a young girl that she went to his house yesterday to break off the engagement.
This displeased her son, who refused to agree and begged her to arrange the wedding date quickly.
Yu Zhiyi had already discerned these thoughts from the face of the Marquis of Wu'an, but after hearing what she said, she still felt somewhat speechless.
Isn't this a typical example of a spineless scoundrel?
Despite his roguish nature, this young master settled down after marriage and became a bickering couple with Miss Tan, and their marriage was considered happy and fulfilling.
Yu Zhiyi: "She is the young master's destined partner. As long as you treat her well, the future glory of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is just around the corner."
Lady Wu'an was overjoyed and handed over a money bag: "Master, this is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
Yu Zhiyi glanced at the bulging bag; it must have contained at least thirty or forty taels of silver, and even more if it were gold.
She told Ziyuan to put away the money pouch and said calmly, "I'll give you a free divination. The 18th of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day for them. If the two families really intend to get married, this day is perfect."
Lady Wu'an was overjoyed: "Thank you, Celestial Master!"
After Lady Wu'an left, Ziyuan asked, "Miss, that Miss Tan is going to break off the engagement. Is she really the right match for the young master of Wu'an?"
Yu Zhiyi said, "She does have feelings for the young master, but he was too disgraceful in the past, and this time he did something so shameful that he hurt her. However, after this incident, the young master will completely change his mind."
Zi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She was truly worried that Miss Tan would be unhappy marrying into the Wu'an Marquis's household, given how utterly despicable the young master was.
If that's the case, wouldn't it diminish the young lady's merits?
While she was explaining, Yu Zhiyi had already checked the contents of the money bag, and it was all gold.
Thirty or forty taels of gold would be worth several hundred taels of silver.
Yu Zhiyi was very satisfied.
Suddenly, Yu Pan'er entered the room: "Young Madam, the one from Guanyue Pavilion has gone out."
Yu Zhiyi asked, "Young Master, haven't you been studying?"
She assumed Du Ziheng had gone along, but Yu Pan'er shook her head: "Reporting to the young mistress, the young master did not go."
Yu Zhiyi was somewhat surprised, but quickly came to terms with it.
You Bingyue has always been free, and this freedom was given to her by Du Ziheng.
Although Yao was very dissatisfied with this, she could only compromise because she could not go against her son's wishes.
Zi Yuan frowned: "This is so rude!"
If a woman in a respectable household wants to go out, she must inform the mistress of the matter.
You Bingyue left the mansion without permission, showing no respect for the mistress of the house!
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "She's not a member of the household, so she can come and go freely."
Neither master nor servant, so how can one be considered a member of the household?
They weren't even considered guests.
Because the host family does not welcome them.
