Especially those ladies and young women, just a few days ago they were laughing at Yunzhi. But now, she's someone they can't even dream of reaching.
The Regent's Consort was someone even the Emperor had to treat with deference; they would still greet her politely whenever they met.
It's so frustrating to think about.
In terms of background, talent, and looks, they were all superior to Yunzhi. Therefore, they were resentful that she became the Regent's Consort.
If they weren't satisfied, they would naturally cause trouble. Therefore, some of the young ladies secretly plotted how to get rid of Yunzhi.
Only if Yunzhi dies will the position of Regent's Consort possibly fall to them.
Yunzhi had no idea that some people, out of jealousy, already wanted to kill her. She and Dongli Lucang walked to the main gate of the Marquis's mansion. Looking at their hands, which were still being held, Yunzhi smiled and asked, "Your Highness, how long do you plan to hold hands?"
Yunzhi meant to remind Dongli Lucang to let go. Unexpectedly, Dongli Lucang not only didn't let go, but looked at Yunzhi earnestly and said, "Zhizhi, I plan to hold your hand for life. I wonder if you're willing to give me that chance?"
Yunzhi remained silent, looking at Dongli Lucang's restrained gaze, and did not answer.
Because she didn't want to deceive Dongli Lu Cang, at least not yet, she didn't want to get married or marry anyone. She didn't want to be bound, especially not within that deep, secluded mansion.
Seeing that Yunzhi did not answer, Dongli Lucang was somewhat disappointed and slowly let go of her hand.
He knew he was being a bit too hasty. But what could he do? Yunzhi was the woman he had longed for for so long. He hadn't found her before, so he hadn't had the chance. Now that the opportunity was finally in front of him, he couldn't wait to marry Yunzhi immediately.
"Your Highness, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first," Yunzhi said with a smile, glancing at the dejected Dongli Lucang.
Actually, seeing his dejected look, she felt a little bad too. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Dongli Lu Cang had come to protect her today showed that he was someone she could entrust her life to.
Unfortunately, I have absolutely no intention of getting married right now, nor do I want to be in a relationship, so I can only apologize to him.
"Alright, then be careful on your journey. I'll come see you again when I have time." Dongli Lu Cang nodded and watched Yunzhi get into the carriage.
Only after Yunzhi's carriage had gone far away did he leave with his men.
Inside the carriage, Rumei and Rulan looked at their mistress and asked in a low voice, "Miss, why are you so cold to the Prince? He will be your husband in the future. What if he gets angry if you act like this?"
"What do you mean, what to do? Just deal with it." Yunzhi shrugged indifferently. She knew that Dongli Lucang was a smart man, and he should understand what she meant.
I just hope this marriage can be dissolved smoothly.
However, what Yunzhi didn't know was that Lu Cang of Dongli had never intended to break off the engagement. The reason he didn't pressure Yunzhi was simply to give her time to adjust.
The three of them, master and servant, returned home. Yunzhi was a little hungry and asked Rumei to get her some food.
While they were eating, the gatekeeper came to announce, "Miss, Madam Xu has arrived."
"Why is she here?" Yunzhi frowned, her face showing some displeasure. She had no desire to deal with the Yun family, even if this person was her mother.
Without even guessing, she knew that Xu's visit was definitely not for anything good. Either she was plotting against her, or she wanted something in return.
