Chapter 4 has something even more disgusting.
She was very familiar with this sentence structure.
Every time the Celestial Master asked her, "What will happen if you continue down this path?" it meant that the Celestial Master had seen the trajectory of her future life.
Moreover, this trajectory is not favorable.
"This... I'm just seeking justice for my son, how could I possibly cause any trouble?"
Yu Zhiyi took a sip of tea: "That's right, it did cause trouble."
“You Bingyue knows many high-ranking officials and nobles. One of them is someone that not only your Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion cannot afford to offend, but the Prime Minister’s mansion cannot afford to offend either. If you insist on pursuing this matter, that person will step in, and afterwards the Marquis of Wu’an’s mansion will be held a grudge by that person.”
"When Marquis Wu'an was still alive, that person would be a little more wary and would only cause some minor setbacks. But after Marquis Wu'an died, that person would go all out against the Marquis's mansion, and within three years, the new Marquis would be stripped of his title for committing a serious mistake."
Lady Wu'an turned pale.
Yu Zhiyi sighed: "But this is not the most disgusting thing."
Lady Wu'an's lips trembled slightly: "Is there anything even more disgusting?"
Yu Zhiyi swirled her teacup: "What's even more disgusting is that when that important person took You Bingyue to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to show off, the young master, for some unknown reason, actually fell in love with her and argued with you many times because of her."
"He was determined to stand against the world for her sake, and he used the power of the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to help her solve her problems more than once."
"Years later, you were so angry with him that you died."
Lady Wu'an felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "This is terrifying!"
Yu Zhiyi put down her teacup: "The Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is only asking for an explanation. There's no need to send them to jail, is there? The Second Young Master is injured, so let's ask the Prime Minister's mansion for some medical expenses and ask the Prime Minister for a favor. That way, everyone can be happy."
Lady Wu'an did not doubt what Yu Zhiyi said about the future. She pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "I will listen to the Celestial Master."
But I'm still a little worried: "As long as I don't pursue the matter, my son won't fall in love with that woman?"
Yu Zhiyi carefully calculated for a while before saying, "That's right. Not only will he not fall in love with You Bingyue, but he will also be able to marry his true love and live a loving and harmonious life together."
She offered a suggestion: "What the Prime Minister's family cares about most right now is Du Ziheng's reputation. You can use this as a starting point to squeeze some money out of the Prime Minister's family."
Both Prime Minister Du and Madam Du expressed their heartache and apology to Du Ziheng for abandoning his bride to have sex with another woman, and even gave her the housekeeper's key and seal in advance.
They didn't mention a word about punishing Du Ziheng.
Yu Zhiyi appreciated their kindness.
However, she neither understands nor respects her son's actions of dragging innocent women into his messy affairs.
They cheated her, so they shouldn't blame her for cheating them back.
Moreover, after ripping them off, they have to be grateful to her!
"Miss, did the young master of the Marquis of Wu'an really fall in love with that woman? And even caused his mother to die because of her?" After the Marquis of Wu'an's wife left, Zi Yuan couldn't help but ask.
She thought it was outrageous.
Yu Zhiyi also thought it was outrageous.
But that's what she saw in the face of the Lady of Wu'an.
However, she didn't dwell on it too much, after all, she had seen too many outrageous things in her previous life.
The things on the stage and in the storybooks may still need logic to support the core of the story.
But we don't need that in real life.
For example, she was reborn at the same time as Yu Jiaojiao, but her rebirth was later than Yu Jiaojiao's, and she was even successfully swapped in marriage. What kind of logic is that?
After Lady Wu'an returned home, Prime Minister Du invited Marquis Wu'an to visit him.
The two locked themselves in the study and talked about something, but when they left, Marquis Wu'an looked unhappy, while Prime Minister Du had a smile on his face.
Can you stop laughing?
Upon learning of this, he immediately wanted to go and apologize, but the Marquis of Wu'an's residence wouldn't even open the door for him. They also declared that there was absolutely no possibility of negotiation and that they would definitely send the main culprit and accomplices to prison.
Today, Marquis Wu'an relented, saying that he was willing to compromise for the sake of his daughter-in-law—as long as Prime Minister Du could find a way to make his son the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, the matter would be dropped.
This matter is both difficult and easy.
The Imperial Guards were close advisors to the emperor, and those who did well were his favorites.
The position of Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard is coveted by countless people.
Trying to place someone here is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Coincidentally, Prime Minister Du had saved Commander Fei's life a few years ago. As long as Commander Fei made the recommendation, the matter would be settled.
Of course, once he opened his mouth, the debt of saving his life was used up.
Compared to his own son's future, the mere act of saving someone else's life was nothing.
The matter was resolved just like that, and Prime Minister Du was very pleased, and he also looked at his daughter-in-law with higher regard.
He said to Madam Du, "Indeed, one should marry a virtuous wife."
Inside the carriage outside the Prime Minister's residence, Marquis Wu'an's sullen face had changed, and his mouth was now stretched almost to the back of his head.
By his generation, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion had gradually declined, and he held no real power.
If the eldest son can gain favor with His Majesty, the revitalization of the Marquis's mansion will be just around the corner.
As for the incident where the scoundrel of a youngest son almost beat someone to death, although it was indeed infuriating, it was because he had a foul mouth.
To be honest, the girl was just trying to protect herself.
He felt that his wife was his lucky star, and that the eldest daughter of the Yu family was a person of great wisdom.
Du Ziheng really has no taste. He has such a good wife, yet he insists on spoiling that troublemaking woman...
Upon hearing that the matter had been successfully resolved, Yao came to Linfeng Pavilion.
It was almost dinnertime when Yao said, "Your father-in-law has a business dinner tonight and won't be eating at home, so there's no need to trouble him. He can eat here."
Yu Zhiyi nodded obediently.
Before long, the food was served, and it was quite plentiful.
Madam Yao warmly served Yu Zhiyi food with serving chopsticks, her face full of affection: "Yi'er, you're too thin, eat more."
Yu Zhiyi knew that Yao wanted to know about her relationship with Lady Wu, but as long as Yao didn't bring it up, she would pretend not to know.
She declined several dishes she didn't like, finished the food Yao had put on her plate, ate a bowl of rice, and put down her chopsticks: "I'm done eating."
Yao also put down her chopsticks.
After the two finished rinsing their mouths, and as the servants cleared the food from the table, Madam Yao asked with a smile, "Is Yi'er on good terms with the Lady of Wu'an Marquis?"
Yu Zhiyi spat out the mouthwash and placed the cup on the tray held by the maid beside her: "It's not really good, but she often asks me for favors, so she's willing to give me face."
A thought struck Yao: "Do I often need your help?"
Yu Zhiyi: "When I was a child, I had a master who taught me some divination skills. Since I met the wife of the Marquis of Wu'an when I was ten years old, I would perform divination for her every now and then, and she would usually get what she asked for."
Madam Yao was very surprised: "Yi'er actually has such abilities? How come I've never heard of them before?"
