But now, she has a different perspective. It turns out that it wasn't that her mother was useless, but rather that she had underestimated Yunzhi.
Now that they know how powerful Yunzhi is, they are even more formidable without even taking action.
She wanted to see how Yunzhi would get through this today. If she didn't handle it well and ruined her name, she wouldn't be qualified to marry into the Regent's Palace.
Lu Cang of Dongli also received the news, but he was busy with court affairs and couldn't come over for the time being. However, he instructed Mingyi that if Yunzhi couldn't handle it, he should take over.
Yunzhi arrived at the gate, looked at the men holding tokens, and laughed, saying, "Now, I'll give you a chance. Tell me who's behind this, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. You should know that you only have one life. Once you're dead, you have nothing. Even if you take the money, it won't be of any use, since you won't be alive to spend it, right?"
It's unclear what promises Madam Xu made to these people, but after Yunzhi spoke, they not only didn't back down, but instead looked at Yunzhi with accusatory expressions, saying, "Miss Yun, how could you do this? When we were together, you promised you would marry me. Later, you left, and I couldn't find you anymore. This time, we finally found out you were in the capital, so we rushed over."
"We thought you would keep your promise and marry us. But we never expected that you would turn your back on us after marrying into a wealthy family and even threaten us. Zhizhi, how could you do this? We may be powerless and without influence, but we have a sincere heart."
"How dare you call her 'Zhizhi'?" Yunzhi coldly glanced at the face that had spoken, and ordered Rulan beside her, "Slap her!"
Rulan had wanted to beat them up for a long time. Upon hearing Yunzhi's order, she immediately stepped forward and slapped the person who called out "Zhizhi" several times.
When Ru Lan made her move, she showed no mercy, and one person even had a tooth knocked out.
This sudden turn of events frightened the other men, who stared at Rulan and Yunzhi with terrified eyes. They hadn't expected Yunzhi to hit someone in public, and without any mercy.
Seeing that these people had become obedient, Yunzhi spoke again: "I know you have been deceived, and I also know who gave you the things in your hands. You had better confess voluntarily, otherwise, you and your family will be in trouble for the serious crime of slandering the current princess."
Upon hearing this, the group hesitated. Their reasons for coming were twofold: they had been misled, and the money was the primary motivation.
They initially thought it was just a matter of a few words, nothing serious. But now, the price they have to pay is far greater than the money they gained.
Upon seeing this, Madam Xu realized something was wrong and gestured to the nanny beside her.
The old woman obeyed the order and left the private room. Just as she was about to find a few people to stir things up, Ru Mei appeared with her men and arrested them.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" the old woman shouted, trying to alert Xu Shi so that she would come out to save her.
Madam Xu naturally heard the old woman's voice and came out of the private room. Seeing her trusted confidante being held by Ru Mei, her face darkened, and she asked, "What are you going to do?"
“Madam Xu, my young lady requests your presence. Will you go voluntarily, or will this servant do it for you?” Ru Mei said coldly to Madam Xu, neither humble nor arrogant.
