On the way back to Beijing, Yue Tong was tortured, but Shen Yuerong did not deal with him openly.
But every night when everyone was asleep, he would send people to scare her.
Either they were playing ghosts, or pretending to sharpen knives to kill people, or they were sleeping with blood dripping from their heads.
Yue Tong was so frightened that she suffered a nervous breakdown and was in a daze.
When they arrived in the capital, Yuetong almost fell when getting off the carriage.
Chi Mu helped Shen Yuerong down, glanced at Yue Tong and smiled gently.
"My lady is really amazing. I won't dare to offend you again in the future."
Shen Yuerong glared at her in reproach, "Don't worry, as long as you haven't done anything wrong, I won't use this method to deal with you."
The two got out of the car calmly, and Yue Tong was helped into the palace.
The emperor had already made preparations to personally welcome the saint and even organized a banquet.
Yue Tong's legs and feet were already weak, but she still had to cheer up.
In addition to meeting the emperor, she also had to deal with various nobles in the capital, because this was the task assigned to her by the prince.
Concubine Xi stood in front of Yue Tong, looking her up and down and asking, "I wonder if the Saint could tell me my fortune?"
Yue Tong was stunned for a moment, but still asked with a smile: "I wonder what this lady wants to calculate?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xi's eyes sparkled, "I wonder when my son and daughter-in-law will give me a big fat grandson?"
Yuetong didn’t really know how to tell fortunes, she just made up something.
"Your son and daughter-in-law will have good news soon."
When Concubine Xi heard this, she was so happy that she stuffed a big bag of gold leaves into her hand.
"You are a good saint. If your calculations are accurate, I will reward you when the time comes."
Yue Tong frowned immediately. She was the Holy Maiden of Miao, not a servant of these nobles, so why did she need to appreciate the calligraphy?
She clenched the gold leaf tightly in her hand, suddenly thought of something, and looked at Concubine Xi mysteriously.
"I wonder if this lady knows about Princess Shen Yuerong's past. I heard that she framed General Fu and after divorcing him, she climbed into the prince's bed."
When Concubine Xi heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then she decisively snatched the gold leaf back.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you gossip here?"
Shen Yuerong once told her that if she gave a reward to someone and the other person said something that made her unhappy, she would just take it back without showing any mercy.
So Concubine Xi snatched the things back, she insisted on listening to her obedient daughter-in-law.
Yue Tong didn't expect that someone gave her something and could take it back. She suddenly became more unhappy and asked loudly.
"Excuse me, which family in the capital are you from? How dare you be so rude to me?"
Now everyone's eyes were on the two of them.
Originally Yue Tong thought that these people would despise Concubine Xi, but unexpectedly, they looked at her with strange and mocking eyes.
Someone couldn't bear it any longer and reminded loudly: "Saint, you have to be careful, this is Concubine Xi."
Yue Tong had just arrived in the capital and didn't know who Concubine Xi was. She could only frown and say, "No matter who it is, you can't treat me like this. It's so rude."
When the prince in the crowd saw this scene, he gritted his teeth and wanted to kill Yue Tong.
What a fool.
Yue Tong didn't notice anything wrong and was about to continue questioning when a slim and dignified figure walked over from the distance.
"What happened to mother?"
Shen Yuerong came slowly, with a smile on her face, and followed by a group of maids and nannies.
As soon as she came to Concubine Xi, she couldn't wait to complain.
"My dear daughter-in-law, this man actually dared to bully me, yell at me, and say bad things about you."
Shen Yuerong glanced at Yuetong in front of her, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips.
When Yue Tong saw this scene, she immediately realized that this annoying lady was Shen Yuerong's mother-in-law, Chi Mu's mother.
She remembered her plan and immediately apologized with a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry, Madam Concubine. I just came to the capital and didn't recognize you. I was just saying that I felt you were so amiable the moment I saw you. Your noble aura almost dazzled me."
Concubine Xi accepted everything she said, but her attitude was still cold.
"I'm such a rude person, so I'd better not appear in front of the Saint, lest the Saint yells at me for no reason."
Yue Tong gritted her teeth and thought to herself, this person is really as annoying as Shen Yuerong.
"Are you kidding, Madam Concubine? I just didn't recognize you for a moment, otherwise I would kowtow to you and apologize."
She was about to kneel down and kowtow, and she thought someone would stop her, but the person next to her had no intention of stopping her at all.
So she had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Concubine Xi.
Her heart was filled with humiliation, but she had to pretend to be pitiful and weak on the surface.
"Have you calmed down, Madam Concubine? Please forgive my recklessness."
Concubine Xi then spoke reluctantly: "Seeing you like this, I reluctantly forgive your impulsiveness, but don't do this next time."
Then she turned around and stuffed the heavy bag of gold leaves into Shen Yuerong's hands.
"My dear daughter-in-law, this is for you. We won't give her anything cheap. When we get home later, we'll have a box of gold leaves left for you."
Shen Yuerong smiled and replied, "Thank you, mother."
The two of them stood together, supporting each other, looking extremely harmonious.
The noble ladies who were attending the banquet nearby all covered their lips and laughed softly.
They originally thought that this saint was such a powerful person.
