But Madam Xu hadn't achieved her goal, so how could she be willing to leave? Especially the way Yunzhi looked down on Yunzhu infuriated her. Why could Yunzhi be a princess consort, but her daughter couldn't be an imperial consort?
Madam Xu had long wanted to send her daughter to the palace, but unfortunately, she had no connections. After all, she was merely the wife of a minor fifth-rank official.
Therefore, the compensation money she just mentioned was just a pretext; her real purpose was to get her daughter into the palace.
Because she knew that if Yunzhi was willing to help, Yunzhu could easily enter the palace with the help of the regent.
This was the best path she could think of for her daughter. If her daughter entered the palace, she wouldn't have to put up with Yunzhi's attitude anymore, and she could even step on her.
After all, no matter how high Yunzhi's status was, she was only a regent's wife, how could she be higher than the emperor's concubines?
Once Yunzhu enters the palace, she can manipulate Yunzhi however she wants.
It must be said that Madam Xu had a very clever plan, but unfortunately, Yunzhi wouldn't cooperate with her at all. Yes, if she just asked, Lu Cang of Dongli could easily give Yunzhu to the emperor as a woman.
However, that would not only mean Yunzhu would have no good days, but for Lu Cang of Dongli, it would only increase the emperor's hostility towards him, without any benefit.
Besides, Yunzhi didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Right now, Yunzhu was only getting close to Princess Langhua, yet she was already scheming against her. If the other party entered the palace, wouldn't she be able to kill her?
She's not stupid; why would she do something that benefits someone else?
"Yunzhi, you're scared. You're afraid that Yunzhu will rise higher than you, live better than you, and have more power than you once she enters the palace." Madam Xu directly used reverse psychology, thinking that Yunzhi would fall for it.
Unexpectedly, Yunzhi completely ignored her. Seeing Xu Shi's persistent attitude, Yunzhi decided to tell her a secret.
Therefore, Yunzhi stood up and whispered in Xu's ear, "Your provocation won't work. Not to mention that Yunzhu fell into the water and was caught by a servant, just the fact that there's a man hiding in her courtyard means you can forget about entering the palace."
"Impossible!" Madam Xu stared at Yunzhi in shock, trying to discern if she was joking. But Yunzhi's expression showed no sign of joking. Therefore, what she said was true.
Yunzhu's mother was unaware that a man was hiding in her courtyard, but Yunzhi knew.
If she spreads this around, will her daughter ever be able to find a husband?
Thinking of this, Madam Xu couldn't stay any longer and lost all desire to confront Yunzhi. She had to hurry back to the manor to investigate whether this matter was true or false. If it was false, she wouldn't let Yunzhi off the hook.
But if it's true, then the man must be dealt with before anyone else besides Yunzhi discovers this.
Xu hurriedly returned home and went straight to Yunzhu's courtyard. In order not to alert the enemy, she did not have anyone announce her arrival.
But when she entered her daughter's room and saw two men standing in front of her bed, she almost fainted.
"What are you doing?" Xu shouted, startling Yunzhu and Qiufeng who were talking.
Qiu Feng turned around and saw Xu Shi's pale face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Yunzhu, however, quickly realized what was happening and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how would I have known that you were hiding a man in your own courtyard?" Madam Xu was furious; her daughter was far too audacious.
How dare she?
