"Mother, if Yun doesn't leave, what will happen to Zhen'er?" An Xiuyuan asked anxiously.
"What do you mean, what can we do? You can make Zhen'er a secondary wife. That way, Ming'er will also be born of the principal wife. Of course, this is the only way. If we can get Yun to back down and become a concubine, that would be the best thing."
Wang Yuzhen was displeased upon hearing this and said to the old lady, "Aunt, even if I become a secondary wife, I will still be overshadowed by Yun Shi. What if she dislikes Ming'er and harms him?"
"She dares!"
"Aunt, there's nothing she wouldn't dare to do. When a woman gets ruthless, she's capable of anything."
Wang Yuzhen's words were not an exaggeration, because such a thing had indeed happened. Therefore, the old lady dared not gamble after hearing this. But she truly couldn't bear to part with the things Yunzhi had brought.
Therefore, she said to her son, "Yuan'er, why don't we just get rid of Yun Shi? Since she doesn't want to be a concubine, then let her die. In any case, we absolutely cannot let her take anything she brought into the Marquis's mansion."
Wang Yuzhen was secretly pleased to hear this. If she could really make Yunzhi die silently, Yunzhi's dowry would be hers. At that time, she could spend it however she wanted.
As an orphan, she had nothing but herself. Therefore, it would be wonderful if someone could provide her with a dowry.
Therefore, she didn't say a word about the old lady's suggestion. She was even wondering if there was anything she could do to help.
"Mother, isn't this a bit inappropriate? What if Madam Yun finds out?"
"What do you mean, 'what to do'? The Marquis's mansion isn't hers to call the shots. Even if she finds out, so what? As long as she and her people can't get out or send out any messages, what's there to be afraid of?"
"But?" An Xiuyuan wanted to say something, but was impatiently interrupted by the old lady: "Alright, that's enough. I don't think you can do this. In that case, I, this old woman, will do it."
"Alright, you've just gotten back, you must be tired. Go and rest. You don't need to worry about anything else."
An Xiuyuan glanced at the old lady, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing. He left Cining Courtyard with Wang Yuzhen and their son.
As soon as An Xiuyuan and the others left, the old lady summoned her trusted nanny. That nanny was none other than Granny Jiang, who had just been beaten by Yunzhi.
That slap made Granny Jiang hate Yunzhi, so when she heard that the old lady wanted Yunzhi dead, she was overjoyed and immediately said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
"I trust you to handle things." The old lady recognized Jiang Mama's abilities. Jiang Mama was her dowry maid, and from maid to nanny, she had entrusted her with countless tasks.
Because she was reliable and capable, the old lady always regarded her as a confidante. She entrusted her with almost everything.
Therefore, Granny Jiang knew almost everything about the old lady, whether it was good or bad.
Fangfei Courtyard.
After returning to the courtyard, Yunzhi immediately slumped onto the soft couch, appearing completely idle. There was no indication that anything had happened that day had affected her, yet her mind was racing.
