Pei Zhi climbed onto the roof and listened to Master Qin and Madam Qin's flirtatious banter for a while before catching the key point.
"Master, the nannies have all been hired. Tomorrow, they will teach that girl some manners."
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. That girl, it must be her, right?
"Rules and such are not important."
Master Qin said lazily, "The most important thing is to train her body properly."
"You have to be as proactive as Madam just now, and make His Majesty completely infatuated."
"Oh, sir, you're so annoying."
Despite her physical discomfort, Pei Zhi continued eavesdropping.
"Take care of her health and make sure she gets pregnant as soon as she enters the palace."
Lady Qin then added, "His Majesty's harem is currently empty, and he has no children."
"If she..."
Madam Qin couldn't help but gasp, "Master is truly wise and resourceful."
"Of course, don't you know who your master is?"
"Sir, you are truly amazing."
Pei Zhi was no longer interested in listening to the middle-aged couple's private conversations.
Pei Zhi has noticed in the past few days that security in the mansion is lax.
Presumably, this Mr. Qin is not a high-ranking official.
Pei Zhi had known for a long time that she was not a daughter of the Qin family.
However, Pei Zhi was always curious about their purpose.
It turns out that it was a premeditated plan to send her to the palace.
Pei Zhi couldn't understand why His Majesty's harem was empty.
Why were the Qin couple so determined to let her enter the palace?
The Qin couple didn't seem like people with any particular ability.
Now that she knew their purpose, Pei Zhi was no longer in a hurry.
The next day, Madam Qin brought her nanny to see Pei Zhi.
"Ah Zhi, these are all old women from the palace."
"Mother will invite them home and let them teach you manners and etiquette."
"In a few days, your mother will take you out to a banquet to learn some manners, so that you won't make any mistakes on that day."
Pei Zhi said respectfully, "Thank you, Mother."
Madam Qin nodded in satisfaction and instructed the two nannies, "Teach them well."
Madam Qin returned to the main courtyard and began to settle accounts.
Madam Qin frowned, noticing that the household expenses had increased considerably in the past few days.
She had previously been reluctant to eat or wear anything, but now she had sent it all to that wretched girl's courtyard.
Madam Qin gritted her teeth and could only begin to dream about the future.
If she were to become the emperor's mother-in-law in the future, how prestigious would she be when she went out?
These petty gains are best ignored now.
"Madam, Madam, we really can't teach your daughter anymore."
The two old women scrambled into the main courtyard.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
One old woman was covering her hand, while another old woman was limping.
“Since your daughter is not well-behaved, we servants are thinking of using a ruler to discipline her.”
"Before we even met her, she beat us both up and called us unruly servants."
The two nannies repeatedly took their leave, refusing to teach anymore no matter what Madam Qin said.
Madam Qin slammed her hand on the table in anger; she had paid a hefty sum to bring these two people back.
Now look what's happened, the person has run away, and the money is gone too.
Madam Qin stormed off to Pei Zhi's courtyard, intending to settle scores with someone.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Madam Qin said sternly, "I'm asking you, why did you lay a hand on the nanny I hired for you?"
Pei Zhi said innocently, "Mother, it was the nanny who hit me first."
"I had no choice but to retaliate."
"The nanny hit you because you didn't learn your manners properly, and you deserved it. How could you lay a hand on the nanny, really..."
Before Madam Qin could finish speaking, Pei Zhi reached out and shoved her hard.
The maid behind Madam Qin reacted quickly and caught her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Go away."
Pei Zhi pointed outside the courtyard and shouted, "You're not my mother, you'd better leave now."
For some reason, Madam Qin felt a little guilty, so she could only retort defiantly, "What did you say?"
"You are not my mother."
"If you were my own mother, how could you bear to see me get beaten?"
“I protected myself, and you’re questioning me?”
"You are not my biological mother at all."
After Pei Zhi finished speaking, she was about to leave the courtyard, shouting, "I'm going to find my mother."
Madam Qin was truly at her wit's end.
The girl behaved herself at home for a few days, and Madam Qin thought she was really a good-natured person.
I never expected her to have such a willful personality.
Madam Qin had no choice but to soften her tone, "It's all Mother's fault."
"I'm doing this for your own good, so that you won't be laughed at when you attend the banquet with me."
"Mother!" Pei Zhi shouted, "Do you care more about your reputation or your daughter?"
"What's so important about saving face? Let them laugh if they want to."
Madam Qin could only grit her teeth and repeatedly agree.
Madam Qin could only agree, "Yes, yes, my dear daughter is right."
"Mother, give me a thousand taels."
"What?" Madam Qin wondered if she was hallucinating.
Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I said, give me a thousand taels."
"Mother, you can't possibly not even have a thousand taels? Is our family really that poor?"
Madam Qin's heart bled; Master Qin's annual salary was only three hundred taels.
Does this wretched girl even know how much a thousand taels is?
"What do you need money for? You can't leave now."
"I didn't go out, so I asked my maid to go out and buy me some things. But when I searched through all the drawers and cabinets, I found that I didn't have any money at all."
After Pei Zhi finished speaking, she looked at Madam Qin with a suspicious gaze, "Are you really my mother? You won't give me a single penny?"
Helpless, Madam Qin could only continue to coax, "A thousand taels is too much. How about I give you fifty taels?"
"You're definitely not my biological mother."
Pei Zhi blushed with excitement, "You wear gold and silver yourself, but you won't even give me a thousand taels."
"You're abusing me like this, I can't possibly be your biological child, you..."
“I’ll give it to you,” Madam Qin said immediately. “I’ll have someone bring it to you as soon as I get back, okay?”
Pei Zhi immediately changed her expression, saying, "Thank you, Mother."
Madam Qin didn't want to stay in the courtyard for even a second longer, so she hurriedly left with her maid.
Pei Zhi called out to Madam Qin's retreating figure, "Mother, remember to send me the money quickly."
As soon as Master Qin entered the house, he was invited over by Madam Qin's maid.
Madam Qin poured out her grievances to Master Qin, saying that she had never seen such a barbaric maid who was making exorbitant demands.
“Master, you don’t know, these days she’s been demanding the best food and clothes, and today she even asked me for a thousand taels.”
“If I hesitate even for a moment, she will say that I am not my biological mother.”
Madam Qin complained, "I really don't know where Master picked up this wild girl."
Master Qin comforted her, saying, "A young lady needs to have a bit of a temper to be liked."
Lady Qin asked doubtfully, "How could His Majesty like someone like her?"
