Shen Shixing was always filial and although he endured the pain of losing his son, he kept it a secret from the old lady and celebrated her birthday as usual. Yurong got up early in the morning to dress up. She had never dressed as elaborately as she did today when she entered the palace.

With her long, cloud-like hair, fine-stamen flower ornaments, and brocade clothes, she looked like a lady from an aristocratic family.

"Grandma, the carriages and horses are ready outside."

"Well, no hurry. I have to go pay my respects to my wife first." How could she really let Zhou Ziying go? She had been enduring the fact that she had written a letter to the front line to injure her for the sake of Prime Minister Wei, but now she couldn't bear it anymore.

She is a broad-minded person, but she also has an extremely strong desire for revenge.

When the Wei family treated her well, she could tolerate some things, just like in the matter of Zhou Ziying, she even only mentioned the Crown Princess in front of His Majesty. That was out of gratitude for the kindness that Wei Xuanning and Wei Xiang had shown her. But if they wanted to push her into hell, she wouldn't mind pulling a few people to help her.

Bi Tao smiled and said, "If you go there now, I'm afraid she won't know how unhappy she will be."

In Zhou Ziying's eyes, managing Zhongfu was a reflection of her power in the mansion, but because she fell ill, this power was given to Yurong, and she was very angry.

Bi Tao had guessed it right. Zhou Ziying lay on the hospital bed and heard Bai Que say beside her: "Madam, you have to take care of your health as soon as possible."

"I will. I have overlooked the fact that power has fallen into the wrong hands. I'm afraid that everyone here, except you, has been bribed."

As they were talking, the little girl outside came to report that the grandmother had come. Zhou Ziying was suspicious: "What is she doing here?"

The white bird shook its head.

As soon as Yurong entered the room, the bright light seemed to illuminate the entire room. Compared to Zhou Ziying, who still had a pale face at this time, she couldn't help but curl her lips and smile, "Greetings to the Madam."

"Where are you going?" Zhou Ziying couldn't help but ask when he saw her dressed up.

"What you said. It's the same place you often go." She looked at Zhou Ziying with a smile.

In fact, Zhou Ziying and Yurong didn't have many confrontations, and they didn't even say a few words when they were together. She was the mother-in-law and Yurong was the daughter-in-law, so their status was originally very unequal. However, because Wei Xuanning was there and Wei Xuanning liked Yang Yurong, all the rules were no longer rules for the Wei family.

She also avoided direct confrontation with Yurong, but after the Crown Princess was punished for unknown reasons, she worried about her own situation every day.

The knife hanging over her head never fell, and she was in great pain.

For Zhou Ziying, she didn't know anything about the struggle between the aristocratic families and the royal family. In her eyes, the emperor was the biggest. The emperor even punished the crown princess, let alone her?

Yes, she often went to the palace to pay her respects to the Crown Princess. On the one hand, it was to let everyone know that she had a backer, and on the other hand, it was to maintain a relationship with her cousin. In the future, when the Crown Princess became the Empress, her status in the Wei family would be even higher with the help of the Empress.

So Yang Yurong came to tell her that she would be entering the palace soon.

Zhou Ziying's eyes widened.

"You all get out, all of you get out. I have something to say to Grandma."

She was so panicked, but Yurong was still smiling. She didn't tell Zhou Ziying the truth. She just smiled and asked after sending everyone away: "What should we do?"

Zhou Ziying looked at her and pleaded, "We are all family. I was just coerced into doing something."

Oh, so quick to shirk responsibility.

Yurong stroked her fingers and said nothing.

This made Zhou Ziying even more nervous. She stammered, "What do you want?"

"What should I do? I'll probably tell my father-in-law about what you said about me having an affair with him. I wonder how he will look at you after I tell him?" Yurong told her with a smile.

"Oh, I'll go to the palace and tell the emperor about it."

Zhou Ziying stood up, her face flushed red, and pointed at Yurong and said, "Aren't you afraid that if this gets out, you'll be ruined?" She was not someone who could be scared.

Yurong smiled mischievously: "How could that be? I'm not afraid."

Yes, yes, Zhou Ziying thought that the most powerful person in the world liked her, so what was there for her to be afraid of? Plus, Wei Xuanning always believed in her blindly, which showed that she was not afraid at all. She might even use this as an excuse to make those men jealous.

"Of course, I feel sorry for my brother-in-law, so I specially pointed out a way out for you."

Zhou Ziying looked at her in confusion: "What kind of life is this? You are so kind."

Yurong smiled and said, "I am using you because I see that you are still somewhat useful. If you don't listen, then you can't blame me."

"What is it?"

"I want to go to the palace today, but my father-in-law insists that I go to the Shen family. This opportunity is given to you."

The Shen family? Zhou Ziying shook her head quickly. Even though she was bedridden, she knew that the Shen and Wei families were enemies, so she naturally refused to go.

Yurong put away her smile, "You don't want to go? I know you're afraid, how about this, I'll go with you, you cover up for me, I'll just say hello and leave."

"Are you so anxious?" Zhou Ziying looked at him with disdain.

Yurong lifted her hair and said, "Sometimes, I don't want to do things the way I want. Mr. Wei will be back soon. If I don't hurry up, I won't have much chance in the future."

Well, Wei Xuanning will be back soon, how could she dare to do this?

Zhou Ziying thought that although the Shen family was a place of great influence and the Hongmen Banquet was held, she would come back soon, and Yurong would go there too, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

She was forced to do this, of course she was unwilling. But Yang Yurong used this as a handle. Maybe others didn't know the situation of the Crown Princess, but she knew it clearly, so she couldn't do this, otherwise the emperor's revenge would be no joke.

But at the same time, I was relieved.

Yurong and she went out together. As the eldest lady was the elder, Zhou Ziying's sedan chair was naturally in front. However, she didn't know that Yurong's sedan chair moved to the side halfway.

But the carriage soon arrived at the Shen Mansion. The Shen family had already set an ambush and they just wanted to vent their anger. When they heard that the visitor was the eldest lady of the Wei family, they secretly said good thing.

Shen Shixing turned the ring on his finger and said coldly, "She should bear the consequences of my son's death."

He, Shen Shixing, was not from one of those pompous families. They had worked their way up from the bottom. Those noble families took people's lives as if it were a child's play. He did not want to make any mistakes at his mother's birthday banquet.

They had already found people to ambush on the road. Even if they were caught, these people were determined to kill them and would not reveal a single thing.

If Wei Xuanning's wife had come, perhaps he would not have killed her, because the emperor and empress treated her specially. But Madam Wei was the wife that Wei Rui had married despite everyone's disapproval. They were an old man and a young wife, and I heard that they had a boy. They must have had a special relationship. If she died, I wonder if it would be like cutting out a huge piece of flesh from Wei Rui's heart.
