Chapter 121: Give it a try
In the end, Yanqiu wrote a letter to Cui Yuru according to Cui Yuzhen's wishes.
Following the old method, the letter quickly reached the Earl's Mansion.
Cui Yuru let Pei Yu live in the Bo Mansion with the intention of letting her report the incident.
Cui Yuzhen talked about this in the letter. She thought about it at home for half an afternoon and finally agreed. She asked someone to find Pei Yu.
"My wife called me."
Pei Yu walked in and sat down next to Cui Yuru without waiting for her to greet him.
She had been with Cui Yuru for some time, and Cui Yuru always obeyed her in everything, so she had long since dropped her rare courtesy and revealed her true nature.
Cui Yuru looked calm as usual. She took her hand affectionately and said with a smile, "My dear sister, your matter has finally been resolved."
Pei Yu was surprised and asked, "Are you serious? Madam, tell me quickly, whose family is this?"
Cui Yuru said mysteriously, "It's even better than our uncle's house. Think about it yourself."
"Is it better than the Prince's Mansion?" Pei Yu's eyes lit up, and his teeth were popping out with joy. "Could it be the Prince's Mansion?"
“…” Cui Yuru was stunned. This guy was really stupid. He only knew about the prince’s palace above the earl’s palace.
But since she only knows about the palace, let's just do as she wishes.
Cui Yuru's expression changed to one of surprise. "I was just saying I'd keep it a secret, but I didn't expect you to guess it so quickly. No wonder everyone says you're so smart. You really can't hide anything from me."
Pei Yu was very proud and excited. He shook Cui Yuru's hand and urged, "Madam, please tell me what's going on. Should I meet the prince first?"
Cui Yuru smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. Let me explain slowly. This Prince Duan is your Majesty's elder brother. He already has a princess, but their relationship is cold and they often quarrel. Now, Prince Duan can no longer tolerate her and has asked the Bo Mansion to find a daughter from a good family to be his concubine. The prince is good in every way, but this concubine is not the main one. I wonder if the young lady will be interested in her?"
How could Pei Yu look down on it? That is a royal family. Not to mention the concubines, even the maids are better than those in the Earl's Mansion!
She immediately said, "I am willing to be a concubine! Madam, you must help me get it done!"
Cui Yuru smiled and said, "Since the eldest lady is willing, then I have no choice but to accept her. However... there are many noble ladies who want to be a concubine. The eldest lady is good in every way, but her family background is a little lacking..."
Pei Yu was anxious: "Then, what should I do? My wife, you have to help me!"
Cui Yuru hurriedly comforted her, "Young lady and I hit it off right away, so I'm determined to help. If I can help you become a concubine, it will also benefit my uncle's family. I have a way to help you, it just depends on whether you're willing to do it."
Pei Yu was even more anxious as he was being hung up: "Madam, please speak!"
Cui Yuru said, "Although your family background isn't as good as others, you can still earn your own way. I received news today that there's a new imperial concubine in the palace named Luo Fu..."
"What!" Pei Yu exclaimed, "She actually became a concubine!"
Cui Yuru said: "I know she almost became your sister-in-law, but it is precisely because of this that your words have weight and your majesty will believe them."
Pei Yu was still shocked and jealous that Luo Fu had become a concubine, and her mind was a little confused: "What did you say?"
Cui Yuru said, "Before she became a noble concubine, she had an affair with Pei Ji and had secret meetings in the middle of the night. How could such a fickle woman become a noble concubine? If you tell anyone about it, not only will her position as a noble concubine be stripped, she will never have a chance to turn things around. Moreover, you can also make great contributions to His Majesty. With such merits, not only can you become a concubine in the palace, but you can also enter the palace as an empress."
Pei Yu's heart surged when he heard this. Just as he was about to ask in detail, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Then, won't my brother be in trouble too?"
Cui Yuru said casually, "Of course, neither of them could escape. But this also makes the eldest girl's act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice more admirable. It only seems that the eldest girl wanted to consider the relationship between brother and sister, and in the end she was hastily married off, but she still gave it a try."
Pei Yu thought of Pei Ji's confinement, and her heart was even more inclined to let go. She snorted, "What brother-sister relationship? He doesn't care about me at all. He even confined me for his wife. He won't find a good family for me if he wants to see her. That's my lifelong concern!"
Cui Yuru asked, "Has the young lady made up her mind?"
Pei Yu nodded without hesitation: "They don't care about me, so I naturally have to find a way out for myself. Fortunately, my wife thinks highly of me, so I have a way to go. If I become successful in the future, I will definitely repay my wife's kindness."
Her reaction was as Cui Yuru expected. She patted Pei Yu's hand and said polite words, but she didn't feel happy at all.
This matter was a gamble for her, the Bo family, and even the Cui family.
She didn't know whether doing this would bring her wealth and glory, or...
But if she doesn't do this, Yuzhen will never be favored in her life, and the Bo Mansion and the Cui family will decline from generation to generation. I'm afraid that before she dies, her son will sell off the property and live in poverty.
Let’s give it a try.
Even a fool like Pei Yu knows how to fight, she can't be worse than her.
