The eldest lady said angrily, "Why are you so impatient? If your father knew about this, he would definitely rush to marry Yun Man to him."
Yun Xuelan thought about it and sat back down, "What should we do then?"
The lady turned to Taoyuan and said, "Did you hear clearly that the young lady is indeed going to see him?"
"Yes, I heard it all. She said that Prince Yin's kindness was hard to refuse, so she asked Xiaochun to tell him that they would meet in the back mountain on the fifteenth day of the third month when they burn incense."
The lady nodded and said, "Go ahead. If you have any more news, come back and tell me."
"yes."
After Tao Yuan left, Yun Xuelan angrily said, "That bitch grew up in a mountain village and is a lowly concubine's daughter. How could Brother Yin Hong fall for her?"
The eldest lady sneered, "What kind of cat doesn't steal fish? Liking someone is one thing, marrying them is another. He's a prince, and his father is a prince. How could he possibly marry a concubine's daughter? You're just too impatient."
Yun Xuelan frantically waved the round fan in her hand. "If Brother Yin Hong doesn't marry her, he won't necessarily marry me either. We originally agreed that Prince Chai has been ill recently, so I sent Yun Man to him to bring him good luck. If I could please Prince Chai first, then my marriage would be easier to discuss. But Daddy actually won't allow it!"
At this point, the eldest lady was also a little unhappy, "Your father is still thinking about that bitch Song Xiaoniang, and he is reluctant to send his daughter away."
She suddenly thought of something and warned, "You must not let your father know about this, and don't let it get out. If it gets out, Yunman's marriage to Prince Chai as a concubine will be completely over."
Yun Xuelan was unwilling to give in. "What should I do? Am I going to watch that bitch Yun Man go to see Brother Yin Hong? I don't agree."
As the lady pondered her strategy, her gaze drifted to Yun Xuelan. She had grown into a mature woman, and was quite the beauty.
"Now that we know this news, why don't we use their trick against us and replace the prince with a cat."
Yun Xuelan was moved by what she heard, but she was still a little scared. "Brother Yin Hong wants to see Yun Man. Will he be unhappy if I go?"
"My son's talent is a hundred times better than that little bitch. Who would want a pheasant when there's a phoenix?"
Yun Xuelan was born a legitimate daughter and always considered herself superior. Upon hearing this, she showed a hint of smugness on her face. "Of course, I'm a legitimate daughter. How can I compare to a lowly concubine's daughter like Yun Man?"
"Yun Man must have used some despicable means to get close to Prince Yin and is clinging to him. Prince Yin is young and it's inevitable that he will be seduced by her. When she arrives at the temple, I will find a few strong women to teach her a lesson and make her suffer so that she won't dare to compete with you again."
Yun Xuelan's face flushed with excitement, "Yes, mother."
evening
When Su Man was having dinner, Tao Yuan stood by her side for the first time ever, but the look in her eyes made people feel uncomfortable.
After Su Man finished her meal, she said, "The weather is getting hotter. I'll make some mung bean soup for the maids and mothers in the yard to drink. Don't let them get a heat stroke."
Tao Yuan snorted disdainfully. She didn't think much of trying to win people's hearts with such small favors.
Not only because she is the eldest lady's confidant, but also because the eldest lady intends to assign her to the fourth brother Yunfeng as a concubine.
Yunfeng is the fourth child of the eldest lady. Although he has a third brother, he is only a concubine. In the future, Yunfeng will still inherit the Yun family. If he can be his concubine, he can become a concubine if he has a child in the future.
Although the matter has not been accomplished yet, Tao Yuan already regards himself as half a master and looks down on others wherever he goes.
At this moment, she clearly heard Su Man's words, but she had no intention of moving, so Xiaochun had to go by herself.
After Xiaochun made the mung bean soup, she put it in buckets and distributed it in the backyard. Everyone except Taoyuan went to get the mung bean soup.
However, for some reason, there was less mung bean soup today, and when it reached Mother Zhang and Mother Liu, only one bowl was left.
The two mothers have been fighting like black-eyed chickens ever since Suman said she wanted to lay off employees. Now that there is only one bowl left, neither of them is willing to give in.
Mother Liu took the initiative to attack, "Why should I give it to you? Is it because you, Mother Zhang, are so shameless?"
"Hey, you old bitch, you dare to challenge me? Be careful or I'll tell you all your dirty laundry!"
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she became anxious. "What kind of good person are you? You said you knocked over those pots of flowers that the girl had, but it was clearly you who secretly took them out and sold them!"
"You fart!"
Mother Zhang started beating, and Mother Liu fought back hard. The others kept pulling each other, you pulled my hair, I pulled your clothes, and they all started fighting.
...
"Madam, something bad has happened. The maids and the women in our courtyard started fighting. Our girl went to intervene but was pushed out and fell down hard. Madam, please go and take a look!"
When Xiaochun went to the mistress to report the news, Master Yun was also in her room. Upon hearing what had happened, he was trembling with anger. "This is a rebellion! Let's go and see!"
When Master Yun and the Mistress arrived at Mingyue Pavilion, it was already in a mess. The nice backyard had been ruined beyond recognition.
Yun Man covered her arms with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
The servant insulted his master and even injured him. If this matter were to get out, he would probably be laughed at by those gossips.
Master Yun felt that his face had been greatly damaged, and he shouted at the old woman who was kneeling on the ground, "What's going on?"
Su Man stepped forward and said, "It's my daughter's fault. She thought it was hot, so she asked Xiaochun to make mung bean soup. Unexpectedly, a few bowls were missing, which led to the incident."
"Just because of a bowl of mung bean soup, you dared to fight in the girl's yard!"
The dignity of the head of the family was challenged, and Master Yun was furious. This anger quickly spread to the eldest lady, "Wasn't Man'er's servant from your courtyard before? How can this be so ridiculous!"
The eldest lady was also angry. If this matter were to get out, people would inevitably say that she couldn't manage the household. She shifted the blame and said, "Miss, since the person was given to you, you should also train him well. How did you make such a mess of things? It's really outrageous."
Su Man said pitifully, "It's my daughter's fault. She should have stopped the two mothers from blaming each other."
Master Yun sensed something unusual and asked, "What are you accusing of?"
Su Man glanced at the lady and lowered her head again, "My daughter dare not say."
"explain!"
"Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang have looted a lot of gold and silver from my daughter's yard over the past six months. Whenever my daughter asks about it, they use the title of eldest lady to pressure her, and my daughter just..."
The lady was furious and annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever order them to rob you of your money?"
Su Man said aggrievedly, "If mother doesn't believe me, you can go and take a look inside the house. Even my favorite painting is gone."
Master Yun hurried in and, as expected, the lotus painting had vanished. He flew into a rage, "Come here, give these slaves thirty lashes and sell them off!"
For a moment, there were screams in the yard, and several people fainted because they couldn't bear it.
Su Man looked at him coldly, with the corners of her mouth raised in a cold smile.
If the matter doesn't get out of hand, Master Yun will never interfere in the affairs of the backyard. Now, her courtyard is clean.
