The stone lions at the gate of Prince Chai's mansion stood majestically on the stone steps, overlooking the hustle and bustle of traffic below. People carrying gifts came and went, almost breaking down the threshold.
After Su Man and Mrs. Yun arrived, they lined up at the door for a long time.
This is different from ordinary traffic jams. The doorman will let the relatives in according to their rank and closeness.
After another newly arrived carriage cut in line, Master Yun looked at the long queue ahead and said indignantly, "These gatekeepers are really looking down on us."
The lady was concerned about the crowds and said, "Don't worry, sir. Xuelan will definitely not let us in."
Su Man, who had been resting with her eyes closed, found the couple's complaints funny.
Even though Yun Xuelan is the legitimate daughter at home, she is just a concubine in Prince Chai's mansion. How could she possibly extend her hands into the front hall and give them privileges?
Just as they were pondering this, a servant came from a distance, passed the carriage in front, and walked straight to them. "Is this the Yun family's carriage?"
The lady lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw that it was someone from the Yun Mansion. She was delighted and said, "Yes, it's us."
The servant nodded and said, "Please come forward."
As the driver drove forward, the lady suddenly felt very proud and said with great joy, "I told you that with Xue Lan here, Prince Chai's Mansion won't neglect us."
Master Yun nodded in agreement, but Su Man felt a little strange.
After getting off the car, Uncle Fu, who was greeting the guests at the door, saluted and said, "Master Yun, Madam, Miss."
Master Yun presented the gift and said, "Congratulations to Prince Chai on the birth of his son."
Uncle Fu said respectfully, "Thank you, Lord Yun," and then he said to the servant who led the way, "Hurry and take you to the front hall."
"Hey." The servant responded, bowing and saying, "Please come in."
Turning around the rockery at the entrance, the inside suddenly opened up. The lady looked at the lavish furnishings of Prince Chai's mansion, and her mind began to work hard. If Yun Xuelan became the head of the family, the wealth of Prince Chai's mansion would belong to them.
The front hall of Prince Chai's mansion was spacious, and many adults were already chatting inside.
The lady said, "The master is here reminiscing with the gentlemen. I'll go to the back hall to take a look."
After Master Yun left, the servant said, "It's inconvenient for me to go to the back hall. Madam, just follow this path and go around the garden."
The lady nodded and said, "Okay, Lan'er asked you to lead the way for us. Thank you for your hard work. Go back and claim your reward."
The servant looked puzzled. "Madam, what are you talking about? I'm with the Second Young Master and came here specifically to guide the young lady. Why do I have to go to Miss Yun to collect the reward?"
When the lady heard this, she felt embarrassed and said with a forced smile, "If that's the case, then you can go down."
"Yes." The servant retreated.
The lady turned to look at Su Man behind her with a cold look in her eyes, "You are a young lady from the boudoir, yet you are secretly having an affair with the second young master of Prince Chai's mansion. Do you still have any shame?"
Su Man raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Madam, why are your thoughts always so dirty? The Second Young Master remembered my kindness in helping him in the past, so he sent the servant to come in and pick me up. How come the moment you say it, it sounds so dirty?"
The lady sneered, "For a slut like you, I have to find you a powerful husband to discipline you. Don't worry, you won't be so proud for many days."
After saying that, she walked towards the back hall without looking back.
Su Man held Xiaochun's hand and followed slowly behind.
Seeing the lady walk away in anger, Xiaochun said worriedly, "From what I heard from Madam, it seems she's still not giving up on the young lady's marriage. Marriage is a serious matter, it's decided by parents and matchmakers. If the young lady goes head-to-head with her like this, what if she's deliberately trying to choose a bad marriage for her..."
Su Man said indifferently, "You think too much. She harmed me not because I confronted her head-on, but because I was respectful to her. Didn't she also want me to marry the Chai King to pave the way for her daughter?"
Xiaochun was deflated, "That's true, the lady has always been evil-minded."
The two were talking as they walked when suddenly a person appeared from the corner in front of them.
Su Man was startled and said impatiently, "Prince Yin, you are a prince after all, why are you always so sneaky?"
Yin Hong had been waiting for Su Man here since early morning. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but unexpectedly, he was scolded by her instead. It took him a long time to find his rhythm.
"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door."
Yin Hong's face was gloomy. "Did you find Ah Zhi to take revenge on me?"
Su Man was surprised. "What do you mean I came here to take revenge on you? Where did you get this from, Prince?"
The more Yin Hong looked at Su Man, the more suspicious he felt. Azhi was always by her side, but she suddenly changed and became his equal... Oh no, she was a head taller than him.
Not only that, but a rumor had been circulating in the palace the past few days, claiming that the princess had been harmed by his mother, which was why she died in childbirth and even Ah Zhi was left stranded. Because of this rumor, not only had his father been ignoring his mother these past few days, but even when he went to pay his respects, he was met with a cold expression, wondering if he believed the rumor.
The more Yin Hong thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was related to Yun Man. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the servant she picked up was his father's child? Yun Man must be jealous of his noble birth and deliberately made trouble, finding such a lowly hoof to oppose him.
Facing his questioning, Su Man said expressionlessly, "I suggest you go home and ask your mother about this matter."
"Shut up! You are not allowed to be rude to my mother!"
Yin Hong said arrogantly, "Haha, you want to pull me down so badly, don't you just want to marry me? Fine, I'll tell mother today and ask you to be my concubine!"
He thought very simply that as long as Su Man entered his backyard, he could do whatever he wanted to her.
