Chapter 36 Eating melons made him lose his wife
Looking at Yu Zhiyi's gentle yet stunning smile, Hongluan's expression froze, and she abruptly looked away, no longer daring to look.
What happened?
Why is it that after several years of friendship without any unusual feelings, her heart is now racing?
She couldn't watch anymore, she felt like her heart was about to leave her own body.
Yu Zhiyi was taken aback, then lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with gloom.
As expected... I was still rejected.
She suppressed her emotions and said in a deep voice, "The banquet later is not going well. Be careful of that embroiderer in the white dress. Go back to your room now, there's still time."
When Hongluan heard that the viewing party would not go smoothly, her beautiful thoughts vanished instantly. When Yu Zhiyi mentioned the woman in the white dress, she immediately thought of a silver-plated embroiderer named Bai Tian'er.
"You go inside and sit down first, I'll go take a look."
She didn't question why Yu Zhiyi knew about Bai Tian'er's existence, nor did she question why Yu Zhiyi said something bad would happen today. She lifted her skirt and rushed into the backyard of Jinxiu Pavilion.
Zi Yuan opened her mouth, but quickly closed it again.
She knows the rules.
Although the young lady would tell her some inside information that ordinary people wouldn't know because she was a close friend, that was only after the matter had been perfectly resolved.
Until the problem is resolved, the lady will only explain the situation to the client.
Although she would ask her mistress and she would answer, the price would be that her mistress would have to suffer some backlash.
Yu Zhiyi was busy calculating the aftermath of Hongluan's affair and didn't notice Ziyuan's unusual behavior.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand, and her expression returned to its usual calm.
Although there were some setbacks, the result was good.
Just as the two were about to enter the building, a familiar, annoying voice suddenly rang out behind them: "Isn't that my sister who gets ridden around and bullied by the peasant girl?"
Yu Zhiyi turned around and saw Yu Jiaojiao walking gracefully towards her.
She had lost some weight since I last saw her.
If there were outsiders present, she would definitely put on an act, pretending to be very close to her sister, while saying things that sounded like stabbings in the back.
The problem is, there are no outsiders here.
So Yu Jiaojiao didn't hide her malice: "I didn't expect you to have the leisure to attend the viewing banquet? I thought you were crying your eyes out right now."
She was not favored in the Yu family, and she was not received even when she went to the Prime Minister's residence. If she were this imposter, she would have hanged herself long ago.
Seeing the gloom between the other's brows, Yu Zhiyi smiled faintly: "You haven't broken down even with all the concubines in the courtyard riding on your head and acting like tyrants, so why should I cry?"
Although she had karmic ties with the Yu family because she grew up there, those ties have become very faint with her rebirth and marriage.
It's estimated that it won't be long before it's completely severed.
After all, she would never again have to worry about them in this lifetime.
They shouldn't try to use so-called family ties to blackmail her again.
Although Yu Jiaojiao's face was still covered by a thin mist, it was not difficult to see her marriage line.
Yu Jiaojiao's marriage line indicates that her other half is already entangled with bad romantic relationships, and her children's palace has also changed.
This means she's about to have a child, but... the child isn't related to her by blood.
In other words, she will soon become a legal mother.
Whether or not one can accept being forced to become the legal mother is a matter of opinion.
Yu Zhiyi didn't want to give birth herself, so she was happy to have other concubines give birth to children to continue the Du family's bloodline. All she needed to do was cultivate and live a beautiful life.
But Yu Jiaojiao is proud and arrogant, so she will definitely not accept it.
Just as Yu Jiaojiao would be happy to see Du Ziheng and her being affectionate if You Bingyue didn't provoke her, but she couldn't accept Zhang Tianshun's courtyard full of beautiful women.
Yu Jiaojiao didn't expect that she would be kicked instead of coming to cause trouble. She took a deep breath and sneered: "Although my husband has some concubines, they are all like mice in front of a cat when they see me. I have them all under my thumb."
"Unlike you, getting beaten up by a peasant girl!"
Yu Zhiyi was too lazy to engage in a war of words: "Yes, yes, you're right. Dozens or even hundreds of concubines call you 'sister,' so whatever makes you happy."
Yu Jiaojiao: "No matter how much you pretend to be nonchalant, the fact remains that Du Ziheng doesn't care about you. The more convincingly you act now, the more miserable you'll be when you get back!"
"Yes, yes, you're right. Dozens or even hundreds of concubines will call you 'elder sister,' and you'll have to add a few more sisters in three days. As long as you're happy."
Yu Jiaojiao: "Just you wait, Du Ziheng will dump you for that woman sooner or later. He might even favor his concubine over his wife because he finds you an eyesore!"
"Yes, yes, you're right. Dozens or even hundreds of concubines call you 'elder sister,' and in three days you'll have to add a few more sisters. Your mother-in-law even advised you to be generous and urge your brother-in-law to add more children to the household as soon as possible. As long as you're happy."
Yu Jiaojiao vomited blood.
She wanted to hurt Yu Zhiyi, but she never expected that she would almost die of anger in the end.
Fearing she might actually be spitting blood, she turned and left, saying, "Let's see how long you can be so smug!"
Although the current situation is somewhat different from that of his previous life, Zhang Tianshun has not disbanded the women in his harem, but!
He will surely be granted a title of king and general in the future!
Yu Zhiyi will surely be killed by Du Ziheng's scheme, just like she was in her previous life.
Why should she bother arguing with someone who is destined to die?
Just smile and wait for that day to come.
The two should have been able to argue without anyone hearing them, but by sheer coincidence, a young nobleman accompanied his fiancée to the banquet, and since Yu Zhiyi and her fiancée didn't try to hide their voices, the young nobleman and his fiancée overheard their conversation.
The fiancée was taken aback: "Young Master Du is actually this kind of person?"
The young master's name is Shen Yunjing. He is the second son of the Minister of Personnel and one of the few close friends of Du Ziheng.
He hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem. Although his fiancée's question might seem like betraying a friend, he couldn't lie: "Actually, it's alright. That Miss You is indeed an extraordinary woman, but unfortunately, she comes from a poor background and isn't favored by Madam Du."
He then defended his friend, saying, "But the idea of favoring a concubine over one's wife never happened. Don't listen to that Third Young Master Zhang's nonsense. Ziheng isn't that kind of person."
He still wanted to salvage his friend's image.
Little did they know that this move had stirred up a hornet's nest.
His fiancée gave a cold laugh: "Isn't that the kind of person who would leave his lawfully wedded wife aside and favor a woman with no title or status?"
"Young Master Shen, do you approve of Young Master Du's actions?"
"It seems you'll neglect your wife at home in the future for women outside who aren't accepted by the family... Hmph, I'll inform my parents that our marriage is off!"
Shen Yunjing never dreamed that just by saying a few words on behalf of her friend, she would lose her own wife.
He wanted to chase after his fiancée, but her guards held him firmly outside the carriage until it disappeared from sight, at which point the guards released him.
Shen Yunjing: "..."
Du Ziheng, you owe me my wife!
Yu Zhiyi never expected that someone would almost eat their wife to death because of gossiping about her. By then, she had already taken her seat.
