Ni Yueshan thought that life in the Prime Minister's Mansion would be nothing but peace and enjoyment. Early in the morning, he heard Ren Mei's calls one after another from outside the door.
Ni Yueshan wanted to stay in bed, but finally got up.
Ren Mei stood at the door and reminded, "Miss, Aunt Bai asked you to go to class."
During this period, there were constant internal conflicts in the family, and Nanny Bai had been quiet. It was so quiet that people thought she had returned to the palace to report, but it turned out that she was still at home.
Ni Yueshan's face was filled with pain. How could he not learn...
Beijing Teahouse.
Jing Chengzhi arrived as promised, and Zou Yangyao had been waiting for a long time.
In the past, Jing Chengzhi would never be late, but now he was late for a long time. Zou Yangyao was not surprised and did not think of questioning him.
He poured tea for Jing Chengzhi. "I'm very grateful that the Fourth Prince can help me without holding grudges. I wonder if you, the Fourth Prince, would be disgusted by my bad reputation?"
The reason why Ni Yingying was able to rescue him from the Dali Temple this time was not because of someone else but Jing Chengzhi.
Jing Chengzhi looked at Zou Yangyao and said with a smile: "How could it be? The general was simply framed by a traitor and his reputation was affected. This prince understands the general!"
Zou Yangyao curled his lips slightly, "I heard that the second young lady of the Ni family is now living in the Fourth Prince's mansion?"
"Yes, what do you think, General?"
For Ni Yueshuang, Yang Wanyan did not help her, but it didn’t matter. She was now in Jing Chengzhi’s house and could still enter the palace.
"It's not a brilliant idea, but this woman is very scheming and good at disguising herself. Moreover, all she thinks about is Jing Yuchen. Even though she lives in your house now, her heart may not be on the same side with you."
"If we help her become a favorite concubine in the harem and establish herself there, I'm afraid she'll be raising a tiger to cause trouble!"
Jing Chengzhi was a little surprised. Did Zou Yangyao mean to make him give up helping Ni Yueshuang? But Zou Yangyao had clearly wanted to help Ni Yueshuang before?
What exactly made Zou Yangyao change his mind?
"General, your suggestion is very correct. This prince will be more vigilant and careful."
But he still decided to send him to the palace. Seeing that Jing Chengzhi had no intention of changing his mind, Zou Yangyao frowned.
"Fourth Prince, if I asked you to choose between her and this general, what would you do?"
If we say it indirectly, Jing Chengzhi won't take the bait, but if we say it directly, Jing Chengzhi can't avoid it.
He looked at Zou Yangyao with a complicated expression: "I wonder how Ni Yueshuang offended the general? If such a weak woman leaves the Prime Minister's Mansion and is driven away by this prince, I'm afraid she will end up on the streets with nowhere to go."
"The Fourth Prince is not a kind-hearted person, is he?"
Jing Chengzhi smiled and said, "But, this prince has always been kind to women."
Zou Yangyao remained silent, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all.
"The Fourth Prince has made his decision, choosing a beauty?"
Jing Chengzhi sighed plaintively, "General, you always give this prince problems. Isn't this enough sincerity for me? If it weren't for me, would you still have a chance to get out of prison?"
"If my guess is correct, the general's change of heart this time is because he realized later that Ni Yueshan was your benefactor. Do you harbor hatred towards Ni Yueshan?"
"But you've forced this prince to give up this chess piece. Who will you become in the future, General? Only by cooperating with this prince can you better fight against my second brother! Ni Yueshan hasn't married him yet, so you still have a chance!"
"But if she gets married, do you still have a future? Cooperating with this prince is obviously the most cost-effective and wisest option! As for Ni Yueshuang, she is young, beautiful, talented, and the daughter of the Prime Minister."
"After entering the palace, she will definitely not be ignored, and it is natural for her to be favored. She helped us. Do you think Jing Yuchen can survive for much longer?"
Everything Jing Chengzhi said made sense, but he still couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart unless he got rid of Ni Yueshuang.
"If the Fourth Prince is determined not to compromise, then this General will thoroughly test her abilities. If I arrange for her to enter the palace, but she dies before she reaches the peak of her favor, then it will be useless."
Zou Yangyao's words seemed to make sense, and Jing Chengzhi became a little interested: "Okay, General, tell me, how do you plan to test her?"

Inside the Fourth Prince's residence, Yang Wanqing sobbed and wiped away her tears, "My poor sister, she actually lost her life just like that."
Yang Wanqing had repeated this sentence no less than twenty times, and Ni Yueshuang was tired of hearing it.
But she still remained patient, staying by Yang Wanqing's side, comforting her: "All this is fate. Not everyone is like you, born a legitimate daughter, married to a husband and becoming his legal wife, and blessed enough to be pregnant..."
"For the sake of your children, you have to endure your sadness!"
Ni Yueshuang endured it all the time without saying a harsh word, and continued to comfort and soothe him. It felt very unpleasant to live under someone else's roof.
Yang Wanqing finally stopped crying and wiped her tears. She sighed and said, "This whole thing was done by your third sister. You must find a way to get her to come out and let me avenge Sister Wanyan!"
Ni Yueshuang blushed, "You know that my third sister and I had a falling out outside the General's Mansion. How could she agree to see me?"
"Also, from what I know, the reason Ni Yingying was able to push everything onto Wanyan was all because of the Fourth Prince's idea. So, in theory, the Fourth Prince is also the murderer!"
Yang Wanqing had stopped crying, but these words made her roar and cry again.
Ni Yueshuang's head ached from the noise, and she said helplessly, "I broke up with her before, and the relationship between you and her seems to make it easier to get her out."
Yang Wanqing glared at Ni Yueshuang and said, "If you can't do it, just say it directly. What's the point of this prince's consort keeping you here?"
The smile on Ni Yueshuang's face froze. What's the point of keeping her?
When did she become so pitiful?
She still needs Yang Wanqing's charity to survive.
Not hearing Ni Yueshuang's response, Yang Wanqing glared at her: "Why, are you still not convinced?"
"No, I was just thinking about how to meet Ni Yingying. If I could meet her, what would you do?"
"Humph, of course, let her never come back!"
"No, she is the general's wife, how can we let her die?"
Yang Wanqing looked at Ni Yueshuang unhappily: "When did you become so indecisive? What's the matter? Are you reluctant to part with this third sister and want to protect her?"
In the past, Yang Wanqing was just someone Ni Yueshuang looked down upon and despised, but now she was of higher status than her, and every word she said was threatening to her, making her angry and resentful, but she had no way to vent.
She finally sighed helplessly, "Death won't solve all the problems. The Fourth Prince was the one who came up with the idea, but it was Zou Yangyao who actually killed Wanyan. Ni Yingying was just following the Fourth Prince's advice and saving the general."
"It would be unfair if she were to go and never come back. How about I find a way to get her out so you can settle this grudge with her?"
