Chapter 24 Lying in bed with another man
"On the back of the mirror on the dressing table in the bedroom of his mistress, there was actually a double layer. If you opened the first layer, you could see the real ledger hidden in the interlayer."
Yu Zhiyi looked at Zi Yuan and smiled brightly: "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. If you kill this chicken, the rest will behave themselves."
He paused, then added, "Oh, by the way, remember to bring a few extra people. Gamblers, when cornered, will do anything."
Zi Yuan had lost her temper: "Miss, you..."
Is it really reasonable to be this lazy?
Yu Zhiyi took another bite of cantaloupe, letting the sweetness stimulate her taste buds, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
If you're given a second chance at life, it's all for nothing if you don't take it easy and let it go.
After Zi Yuan left, Yu Zhiyi was about to take a nap when Li Rou said, "Young Madam, Miss You has arrived."
Li Rou was one of the four maids she brought from the Yu family; the other was named Zhang Xiang.
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.
You Bingyue has been back for several days, but she seems to have learned her lesson and hasn't caused any trouble in order to leave a good impression on Yao.
Yu Zhiyi was also happy to have some free time.
The next day, Yao came over in person to express her apology. If there were any other way, she would not have allowed You Bingyue to enter the house, but wasn't it because her son really liked her?
She had already threatened him with his life once before, which severely damaged the relationship between her and her son. She didn't want to use the same tactic a second time unless absolutely necessary, otherwise she worried that her son would be completely heartbroken and their relationship would be irreparable.
Yu Zhiyi expressed her understanding.
In this era, it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines, and it was extremely rare for someone like Prime Minister Du to have only one wife and be deeply in love with her.
Madam Yao hoped her son would be devoted to one woman, but if he insisted on having three wives and four concubines, she could understand even if she didn't agree with it.
Yu Zhiyi was naturally not so sentimental as to think that Yao would make things difficult for her own son because of her, and she had no objection to You Bingyue's return.
Otherwise, Yao would bring up the matter of consummating the marriage and having children.
She didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to come to her.
Before Yu Zhiyi could say whether to invite the person in or send them back, You Bingyue swaggered into the house.
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
"Ziheng said that you gave him some advice, which helped him come up with a way to persuade Madam Du?"
You Bingyue's question was very impolite, and the sense of oppression from her superior position was very strong.
Yu Zhiyi asked Li Rou to take away the melon rinds, and then washed her hands clean in the basin of water that Zhang Xiang brought over.
He never answered You Bingyue's question, and didn't even glance at her. He was even more arrogant and disdainful than You Bingyue!
Yu Bingyue's already cold face grew even colder: "What kind of attitude is that! I'm asking you a question!"
Yu Zhiyi turned to look at Li Rou: "Did you hear something making a sound?"
Li Rou was not a servant born into the Yu family; she was a maid bought along the way.
For wealthy families, servants are trained well from a young age. All important matters, big or small, are entrusted to servants who have been slaves for generations. The second option is to buy and train servants from childhood.
As for those who are older, once they enter the mansion, they will only do some menial work and will not be given important responsibilities.
Because they were not trained or given important positions, these people retained their original nature and perspectives.
For example, Li Rou has an innocent face, and her eyes reveal a kind of naivety.
She subconsciously looked at You Bingyue, her eyes full of confusion. Wasn't it Miss You who spoke just now?
Since Yu Zhiyi was the master, and the master said that something was calling, she couldn't refute it. So she could only say uncertainly, "It seems... to be?"
You Bingyue was furious.
Especially the look Li Rou gave her just now; it wasn't particularly offensive, but it was extremely insulting.
"Yu Zhiyi! What are you so smug about?"
"You don't actually think your methods are very clever, do you? You pretend to be indifferent to everything all day long, but secretly you use despicable tricks like playing hard to get to seduce men. Aren't you disgusting?"
Thinking about the changes in Du Ziheng over the past few days, she was furious.
She had been away from the Prime Minister's residence for so long, and he had never gone to see her even once!
Having finally arrived, they still dragged her along to apologize to the Yao family.
She originally didn't want to come back, but Du Ziheng was a scholar with a whole bunch of fallacies. He said that it was wrong for them to abandon his parents without permission, and that there were no parents in the world who didn't love their children. He said that as long as they pleaded their case properly, Prime Minister Du and his wife would accept them.
He also showered her with sweet words.
She was completely fooled by his silver tongue.
When she returned, she inadvertently discovered that the reason he was able to come up with these methods was because Yu Zhiyi taught him!
Yu Zhiyi!
It's Yu Zhiyi again!
She recalled the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet from before. Ji Yifei had originally intended to seek justice for her, but somehow, he vanished without a trace afterward and never came looking for her again!
You Bingyue, who was completely absorbed in her own emotional world, did not pay attention to what was happening outside, so she did not know that Ji Yifei was no longer the once glamorous only son of the richest man.
She was filled with boundless hatred at that moment.
This woman is so despicable and hateful; I'm deliberately trying to go against her.
Not content with seducing Du Ziheng, she even went after Ji Yifei!
Otherwise, why would Ji Yifei be too ashamed to see her?
Yu Zhiyi scoffed: "You pretend to be indifferent to desires, but you're actually seducing men behind their backs. Are you talking about yourself?"
She counted on her fingers: "Let me count, Du Ziheng, Ji Yifei, Dongfang Yuan, Leng Xiaoyao... These are just the ones I can name, there are many more I can't."
You Bingyue was filled with doubt and surprise.
How does this bitch know everything?
"Stop talking nonsense! My relationship with them is purely platonic. Stop spouting filthy thoughts! Unlike you, I can't live without men!"
Although Yu Zhiyi couldn't see through You Bingyue's appearance, she had memories of her previous life.
In her previous life, she had the good fortune to meet this extraordinary woman a few times and had heard rumors about her.
Every time they met, she witnessed a unique and spectacular battleground of male rivals.
The main characters are naturally these few.
"Does a purely platonic friendship mean that you and Ji Yifei were alone in a room drinking together, got drunk, and slept in bed with him all night?"
"Unlike me, who can't live without a man, you borrowed three thousand taels of silver from Ji Yifei, saying you'd pay him back once you made money, but you've already spent it all, and your business is still nowhere to be found?"
She deduced these things from Ji Yifei's appearance.
You Bingyue was even more panicked.
This woman is toxic!
No, could it be that Ji Yifei told her?
She felt even more resentful.
What a scoundrel! He said he'd love her forever, but then he turned his attention to another woman and betrayed her.
She was filled with shame and indignation.
Enraged, she moved with lightning speed, charging towards Yu Zhiyi: "You're asking for death!"
Her hands reached out like eagle claws, conveying a sense of power.
The killing intent emanating from his eyes seemed to materialize, startling Li Rou, who cried out, "Young Madam, be careful!"
She instinctively stepped in front of Yu Zhiyi.
Yu Zhiyi was stunned.
