"My servant has done a poor job, please punish me, young lady."
"Hongye, what are you doing? When did I say I was going to punish you? Hurry up and get up! If the old lady doesn't know, she'll think I'm abusing you."
Hongye was still a little afraid to stand up, because she knew that Shen Yu was not as gentle and kind as he appeared to be, but was actually a vicious person.
She believed that if she had not served in the old lady's yard before and had not been assigned to Shen Yu by the old lady herself, she would have been beaten and punished countless times.
Even so, every time she saw Shen Yu's gloomy face and the malice in his eyes, she couldn't help but be afraid.
But no matter how scared she was, there was no way. She couldn't control her own destiny. She could only be obedient and get things done. Only then would she feel better.
Shen Yuming was obviously furious, but she still had some sense. She knew who Hongye was and that she couldn't beat or scold her at will.
But at this moment, she really hated Prime Minister Yun and Yun Ran for daring to covet her identity as the cousin of Prince An's Mansion.
She had found out clearly that Yun Ran was indeed Xie Wan'er's adopted daughter, and her identity was more legitimate than hers.
How could this be possible? She really needed the identity of the cousin of Prince An's mansion. She also hoped to gain the trust of the eldest prince through this, and even let Prince An agree to stand on the eldest prince's side, so that she could smoothly marry into the eldest prince's mansion and become the prince's consort.
But before there was any substantial progress on her side, someone came to make trouble. She would never allow Yun Ran to successfully recognize his relatives.
But it is not enough to just ruin Yun Ran's reputation among the people, Yun Ran must also be completely unable to make a comeback.
But this requires careful planning. After all, Yun Ran is the daughter of the prime minister's family, not an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Shen Yu had a flash of inspiration. She remembered that before Yun Ran was adopted by the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was another young lady, Meng Yue, in the mansion.
When she came to the capital, she heard from others that Miss Mengyue of the Prime Minister's Mansion had eloped with a beggar. Prime Minister Yun was so angry that he broke off his relationship with Miss Mengyue and then announced that Yun Ran was the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Hongye, how much do you know about Miss Mengyue from the Xiangfu?"
"Miss, I'm not entirely clear on this, but I do know that before Miss Mengyue came out, she was the most beautiful woman in the capital, proficient in all arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, Miss Muyue rarely went out or attended parties, so people don't know much about her."
"That's not what I'm asking. How did Miss Mengyue come out?"
"Miss, this servant really doesn't know."
Shen Yu knew that Hongye was not lying. Hongye was just a little maid in Fushouyuan. It was impossible for her to know all the private matters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
However, she felt that Miss Mengyue's appearance was definitely not that simple, and it might be related to Yun Ran.
Miss Mengyue was forced to sever ties with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the person who benefited the most was Yun Ran.
From this point of view, this item might be a breakthrough. As long as she can use this item to control Yun Ran, she won't have to worry about Yun Ran competing with her for the identity of the Dark Prince's cousin.
We just need to think carefully about what to do specifically.
"Hongye, please ask Yunran out in my name. I have time to find her."
"Miss, this... this..."
"Why is it difficult?"
"No, no, Miss, the mansion just kicked Miss Bierang out. Let's make another appointment. If the prince finds out."
"How could you possibly know? Why don't you just not tell anyone?"
"But Miss."
"Okay, stop talking. I've made up my mind. Go ahead and do it."
Hongye had no choice but to follow the instructions and ask Yunran to come out.
