Xiao Wei even went to the princess three times a day, asking her when King Yanbei would come back to take charge of them. A few times, she even instigated the old princess to force Xiao Jingxi to order the interception of all the checkpoints in Yanbei. Unfortunately, she went there several times but came to nothing. The Second Young Master Xiao was always elusive.
Just as the old princess and her daughter were clashing in the Yanbei Palace, a nanny Xiao Wei had left behind in Ningxia arrived, claiming General Wu had taken a mistress. During Xiao Wei's absence, General Wu had brought her back to the Wu household, doting on her. The woman possessed a shrewd and flamboyant temper, yet General Wu couldn't leave her side every day. It was rumored that he even brought her along when summoning his subordinates to handle military matters.
Many of Xiao Wei's confidants who stayed in the Wu family suffered losses in front of that woman, and the situation in the Wu family's backyard was about to change.
When Xiao Wei heard the news, his eyes turned dark.
Wu Xiaohe only has Xiao Wei as his legal wife, and he has never even taken a concubine over the years. Even when Xiao Wei couldn't give birth to a son, he never had any extramarital affairs with her, so Xiao Wei thought she had heard it wrong.
But the old woman's accusation, with tears and snot, was so convincing that Xiao Wei couldn't help but believe it.
Xiao Wei could no longer stay in the Yanbei Palace, and was about to pack up and return to Ningxia on the day he received the news.
Wu Yiyu refused to leave, even though she was now notorious in Yanbei. Even the young ladies who usually rushed to curry favor with her gave her a wide berth. However, Miss Wu didn't care at all. She never considered those people her friends anyway.
Xiao Wei tried to persuade Wu Yiyu several times, but she ignored her. Finally, Xiao Wei lost her temper and said, "What can you do by staying here? You're going to be laughed at every day! What's so good about the Yun family? If you don't go back, are you going to let me face that vixen all by myself? I heard that bitch is quite powerful. She's the adopted daughter of that old man Di Hao."
Wu Yiyu frowned. "Di Hao? Does the Di family think they've been living a good life for too long? How dare a family with Qiang ancestry send a woman to the Wu family?"
"Don't underestimate the Di family! Although their ancestors were once the leaders of a branch of the Western Qiang, they surrendered to the Great Zhou five generations ago. For generations, their family has intermarried with powerful families in Ningxia. Because of their ancestral bloodline, they have also established friendly relations with some of the smaller tribes living within the Great Zhou territory. By the time the Di family came into Di Hao's hands, their influence in Ningxia was already formidable."
Wu Yiyu didn't take it seriously: "When we were in Ningxia, didn't the Di family rush to curry favor with us?"
Wu Wei endured it for a moment before saying, "That's because they didn't have the chance to send that bitch to the Wu family's inner courtyard! Wait until that bitch gets pregnant, and you'll see if they'll come to curry favor with you!"
Wu Yiyu's face changed when she heard this. She was the only eldest daughter of the Wu family, so she could act recklessly. When she was in Ningxia, she always acted arrogantly. But if she had a half-brother...
"I'll go back with you! Let's come back after we deal with that bitch!" Wu Yiyu thought for a moment, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said harshly.
