Watching Rulan leave happily, Yunzhi smiled and shook her head.
Wang Yuzhen had been waiting outside for a while, and seeing that no one had come out, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Of course, she also resented Yunzhi, feeling that it was all because of her that the Marquis's title had been stripped.
Time passed slowly, and Wang Yuzhen grew increasingly impatient. Just as she was wondering if Yunzhi didn't want to see her, she saw Rulan come out.
Upon seeing Rulan, she was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Miss Rulan, is it that the Princess is willing to see me?"
"Madam Wang, my young lady is busy, so please go back to where you came from," Rulan said calmly. She had absolutely no goodwill towards Wang Yuzhen, the woman who had stolen her young lady's man.
Of course, she had no liking for An Xiuyuan either. Since he had someone else in his heart, why did he have to provoke her young lady, making her a divorcee for no reason?
Many people outside are saying that the young lady is married to the regent, and she is not unaware of this. The reason people say this is mostly because the young lady is a second-time bride.
In her opinion, a woman of such extraordinary talent and beauty deserves the best man in the world. Those who say she is unworthy of the Regent are simply blind.
"She doesn't want to see me?" The light in Wang Yuzhen's eyes dimmed instantly, and she looked heartbroken.
Seeing Wang Yuzhen like this, Rulan felt not happy, but disgusted. She said, "Madam Wang, don't cry, or people who don't know the situation will think I'm bullying you."
"I didn't!" Wang Yuzhen really wanted to cry, but when Rulan said that, she had to force her tears back.
Yunzhi refused to see her, leaving Wang Yuzhen unable to plead for the Marquis's family, which left Wang Yuzhen at a loss.
Just then, a carriage drove up. Madam Wang lifted the carriage curtain and saw Wang Yuzhen looking displeased.
Previously, she had fainted due to a sudden surge of anger because she couldn't accept that her son had actually been stripped of his title. But she never expected that after she fainted, Wang Yuzhen would come to Yunzhi for help.
It's clear that Yunzhi was the culprit who caused the Marquis's family to lose its title, yet Wang Yuzhen still came to beg her; that's just incredibly foolish.
In her opinion, it would be better to go to the palace and plead with the Empress Dowager. Perhaps there would still be room for reconciliation.
Therefore, she hurriedly went to find Wang Yuzhen, thinking of bringing her into the palace so that she could become familiar with the Empress Dowager.
"Yuzhen, what are you still standing there for? Come over here!" Seeing her niece still standing there dumbfounded, Madam Wang was furious, and her face grew even uglier.
Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Wang Yuzhen came to her senses, then went to Wang Shi's side and asked, "Mother, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, you would have completely disgraced my Marquis's mansion."
"Mother, our family is no longer the Marquis's mansion," Wang Yuzhen reminded them. They were currently in front of Yunzhi's villa, so they had to be careful what they said. Otherwise, if someone overheard, they might be accused of disobeying the imperial decree.
"Shut up. Come with me to the palace. I refuse to believe that, given my relationship with the Empress Dowager, I can't keep this title."
It must be said that Lady Wang was brimming with confidence at this moment. She forgot that her last visit to the palace was three years ago. Back then, her husband was still alive, the old Marquis of Dingyuan held real power, and the Empress Dowager naturally held her in higher regard.
But now, the Marquis of Dingyuan is her son, and he has long lost all real power. Who cares about her anymore?
