“Exchange it for the secrets you know,” Yunzhi said, staring at Xu Shi. Sure enough, she saw a fleeting look of guilt in Xu Shi’s eyes.
Hearing Yunzhi's words, Madam Xu thought to herself: Sure enough, her prediction was correct. No wonder Yunzhi was acting so strangely today; she was waiting for her here all along.
Madam Xu wasn't stupid; she naturally knew what Yunzhi wanted to know. But she had promised that person that she absolutely couldn't tell anyone, or she would die a horrible death.
Last time, she was so angry that she couldn't control herself and let it slip. She thought Yunzhi wouldn't notice such a detail, but it turns out she already knew and was waiting for her here.
Honestly, those 100,000 taels of silver notes are not easy to obtain. If people find out that she was the one who told Yunzhi, then she and her children will not have a good ending.
So, for the sake of her own life and the lives of her children, even if Yunzhi only gave her 100,000 taels, or even 200,000 taels, she wouldn't dare to say it.
Xu looked up at Yunzhi with a puzzled expression and said, "How would I know any secrets? If you don't want to give me money, just say so. Why make things difficult for me here?"
"Madam, do you really not know? Or are you afraid to speak?" Yunzhi looked at Xu Shi with a mocking expression, her eyes bright. She had clearly seen the change in Xu Shi's expression just now.
I thought I would be able to easily get the secret out of Xu Shi. But to my surprise, she kept her mouth shut.
"Yunzhi, I really don't know what you're talking about. What secrets could a woman like me know?" Madam Xu was determined to keep her mouth shut.
However, there was nothing she could do about it; those people were ruthless. She didn't want to offend them.
"Alright, since you don't know, then please go ahead." Yunzhi didn't insist; Xu would naturally tell her when the time came.
If Xu hadn't let it slip last time, she would never have doubted her origins. Because she was a reincarnated child, and the sounds she heard in her womb were similar to Xu's.
Therefore, even though Xu treated her and Yunzhu very differently, she only thought that she had no affinity with her parents, and never doubted that she was not Xu's biological daughter.
"You think you can just make me leave like this?" Madam Xu's face darkened. She said, "I'm here today to seek justice for Zhu'er. Her reputation is ruined after she fell into the water, and you have to compensate her. If you don't want to give money, then find Zhu'er a powerful and influential family, preferably one that will allow her to enter the palace. With Zhu'er's qualifications, even if she can't become the empress, she must be one of the four imperial concubines."
Yunzhi was completely stunned, never expecting that Madam Xu would have such a plan. It wasn't that she looked down on Yunzhu, but given her lack of intelligence, it was questionable whether she could even survive in the palace.
Was Madam Xu out of her mind to come up with such an idea? Doesn't she know what kind of person her own daughter is?
"Madam, you're dreaming. Do you think the palace is so easy to enter? One of the four consorts? Yunzhu would be lucky to even be named a talented woman if she entered the palace."
"What's wrong with Zhu'er? How is she unworthy to be a concubine?" Madam Xu's face was rather unpleasant. It was no wonder she was upset that her daughter was being looked down upon.
"Madam, in your eyes, even your daughter's farts smell sweet?" Yunzhi said with a mocking expression, and ordered Rumei, who was waiting beside her, "Rumei, see the guest out!"
“Madam Xu, please!” Ru Mei stepped forward and gestured for her to enter.
