As for her status, the Marquis's wife was not worried. Even if she was worse, could she be worse than that lowly maid Liu Zhiyi?
The Marquis's wife suppressed the smile on her face.
With a look of reproach on his face, he walked around behind Pei Yunchu, tilted his head and poked Pei Yunchu's back with his index finger, and said in a dissatisfied tone,
"You rascal, when did you get a lover? Why didn't you tell me about this good news?"
As he spoke, he raised his head inadvertently and met Liu Zhiyi's cold and calm gaze.
Suddenly, his pupils dilated, his body felt as if struck by lightning, and his face turned pale as paper, as if he had seen a ghost.
…
The air suddenly froze.
“You…you…you…you…”
"Why is it you, a lowly slave?"
Liu Zhiyi rolled her eyes, pushed away the man who was hugging her tightly, and glanced at the mother and son indifferently, saying with a smile,
"That's me."
Madam Hou: ...
How is this possible? "You're not dead?"
Liu Zhiyi curled his lips and smiled, "You are so much older than me, and you are still alive, so of course I won't die."
The Marquis' wife staggered in anger and pounded her chest with her hand. Her intense anger made her forget her usual manners and upbringing. She pointed at Liu Zhiyi's nose and started cursing.
"Bitch, bitch..."
"You lowly slave, since you're dead, why didn't you die more completely? Three years ago, you harmed my good son and turned him into this. Now that he's finally starting to look like a human being, why are you haunting me like this again?"
"Why don't you just die outside? Huh?"
Song Hanchuan looked extremely ugly. Just as he took a step forward, he saw Liu Zhiyi secretly shaking his head at him.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and refrain from killing the person in front of him, but the look he gave the other person was as cold as if he was looking at a dead person.
Pei Yunchu exploded.
He pulled Liu Zhiyi behind him and protected her tightly. Then he said with a gloomy face,
"Mother, if you continue to target Xiaoyi like this, I will leave the mansion, take Xiaoyi with me and live in another mansion, and never go back."
The Marquis's wife was so angry that she swayed and fell into the arms of the old woman who was serving her.
"The treasonous son - the treasonous son -"
"Slut, you were the one who instigated this, right?"
"Suddenly disappearing, then suddenly returning, making men obsessed with you, these little tricks used by the harem to manipulate people can only fool my useless and foolish son."
"You've gone through so much trouble, isn't it just to become the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion?
I tell you, as long as I am still breathing, you will never set foot in the gate of my mansion in your lifetime."
The Marquis's wife was bent over, breathing heavily.
After saying all this with gritted teeth, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He looked at Liu Zhiyi as if he wanted to chew her alive, skin and bones.
The old lady looked distressed.
While quickly patting the Marquis's chest to calm her breath, he complained, "Young Master, if it weren't for this old servant telling you, how could you speak to the Madam like this?"
"Who is Madam doing all this for?"
"You are of such noble status, and look at her..."
Born as a maid, she is not even qualified to be a concubine.
"For a family like the Marquis's, marrying a princess wouldn't be a problem. Yet, you choose to fall for a lowly maid? How can the Madam tolerate this?"
"Look at that foxy look between her eyebrows and eyes. It's obvious that she is not a quiet person. If you marry a woman like this, the family will definitely be in turmoil... She will also be a dissolute woman who can't hold her belt in the future. You, ah -"
The old woman was halfway through her words when she was kicked away by a figure that flashed by from behind.
Everyone: ...
"That's enough."
Song Hanchuan's eyes were covered with a thick layer of ice, and his chest could not stop heaving violently.
"The Marquis's family has good education."
"One or two, none of you have clean mouths. In that case, I don't mind helping you clean up."
"Qingyun, cut off this old woman's tongue. All the people present in the Marquis' Mansion, leave no one alive, and throw them all out. If you dare to come to my house again, I will kill you without mercy."
"yes."
Liu Zhiyi also laughed out of anger. Is it true that this mother and son have no problems with their brains?
They were blind, talking to themselves as soon as they came in. They were also afraid that they would never be able to enter the gate of their mansion in their lifetime? Even if she knelt down and begged, she wouldn't be willing to enter, right?
Qingyun led his men forward, and their expressions immediately changed.
"Song Hanchuan, do you dare? Xiaoyi, will you come with me?"
"Don't touch this lady, you dare to be so bold."
"Go away, I belong to the Marquis' Mansion, how dare you be so unreasonable?"
Chen Ningzhu walked forward, raised the corners of her lips, and smiled brightly under the shocked eyes of the mother and son in the Marquis' Mansion.
"What a coincidence! I'm alive too! Didn't expect that?"
"Just a kind reminder, today is a lucky day for Xiaoyi and the Prime Minister. In a few days, it will be their wedding day."
"As for that damned Marquis' Mansion of yours... unfortunately, my Xiaoyi doesn't think much of it. It would be unlucky to give it to us for free."
Pei Yunchu's pupils trembled.
The two people beside them were also stunned in their place, and the Marquis blurted out,
"Impossible... The Prime Minister is of such high status, and there are many noble ladies in the capital with clean family backgrounds who are suitable for him. Why would he lower his status and marry a maid?"
Pei Yunchu's eyes were bloodshot, and he tightly grasped Liu Zhiyi's wrist, and collapsed.
"No, it's not like that, right?"
"Xiao Yi, tell me, you lied to me, didn't you? Do you know that when I heard the news of your death, I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar, as if thousands of arrows were piercing my heart?"
He had been wounded so many times on the battlefield, but none of them were as painful as that time, a pain that made him feel suffocated. It was also at that time that he realized how much he loved Liu Zhiyi.
"I just found out you're still alive, and my heart finally started beating again. Please, don't be so cruel to me, okay?"
Don't let him lose her again after just regaining her.
One second in heaven, one second in hell.
It would be better to just kill him.
"Xiaoyi... Xiaoyi... Just think of it as me begging you, okay, Xiaoyi..."
Liu Zhiyi smiled.
She had indeed deliberately approached Pei Yunchu for the sake of Chen Ningzhu.
But it doesn’t mean that you can eat anything, including meat and vegetables.
The reason why she chose Pei Yunchu was, firstly, because he was extremely handsome, and secondly, because he had a cheerful personality and acted in a free and eccentric way, which was more to her taste, so...
During the time they were together, a ripple had appeared in her heart.
It was not until she saw him say with arrogance and charity on his face that he was willing to take her as his concubine that she felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water over her head. Her hands and feet became cold, and she suddenly became very clear-headed.
Only then did I realize that I was living in ancient times.
It was an era that attached great importance to family background, an era in which men were superior to women and men had three wives and four concubines.
What made her feel even colder and more hopeless was that in his heart, she was even marrying above her station.
