But she didn't seem to have offended Concubine Rong in the palace, right?
She can't help Concubine Rong in any way!
Entering the flower hall, she saw a woman in a dark green brocade dress with a somewhat haggard face. When she saw Zhao Yunzhu walk into the front hall, Mrs. Lan hurriedly stood up and came forward to greet her in person.
"Concubine Yun."
"Mrs. Lan."
Zhao Yunzhu helped Mrs. Lan up and motioned her to sit down and talk.
It was the first time she met Mrs. Lan.
Compared to Concubine Rong in the palace, the mother and daughter really have nothing in common.
I saw Mrs. Lan sitting there with a stiff expression.
Zhao Yunzhu ordered the maids to leave.
"Mrs. Lan is visiting today, but what's the problem?"
Madam Lan suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Yun, with a reserved look in her eyes.
This made Zhao Yunzhu even more curious.
Mrs. Lan smiled awkwardly, she hesitated, not knowing how to start.
Zhao Yunzhu patiently drank tea without urging anyone, waiting for Mrs. Lan to speak herself.
The tea was already half finished, and the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Concubine Yun, I came here today because I do have something I want to ask of you."
Madam Lan's face flushed red. She took a deep breath and finally spoke out the purpose of her visit today. "Concubine Yun, my son is in the patrol camp and is now under the command of the prince. I heard that he was injured a few days ago. I sent someone to pick him up, but the prince refused."
"I'm worried about my kid..."
"After all, I only have this one child..."
There were tears in Mrs. Lan's eyes.
Only then did Zhao Yunzhu understand that Madam Lan's only legitimate son was now seventeen years old and had accomplished nothing. Master Lan had long since given up on this son.
Put all your thoughts on your promising illegitimate son.
Mrs. Lan cried and begged for a long time before she finally got a job in the city patrol camp for her disappointing son.
"Concubine Yun, I beg you."
Mrs. Lan suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Zhao Yunzhu.
Zhao Yunzhu hurriedly stood up and said, "Mrs. Lan, you can't do that. You can't do that."
She struggled to pull Mrs. Lan up, but Mrs. Lan stubbornly refused to get up.
Zhao Yunzhu sighed helplessly and tried to persuade him again, "Madam Lan, instead of begging me, you might as well ask the Queen Mother for help. My prince always does things according to the Queen Mother's wishes."
Mrs. Lan's body stiffened, and a hint of hatred appeared in her eyes, followed by helplessness and sadness.
Zhao Yunzhu keenly captured these subtle changes.
"The Queen Mother..." Mrs. Lan said helplessly, "I went to ask for help, but the Queen Mother was unwilling to help."
"I have no other choice, so I shamelessly come to Concubine Yun for help!"
"Mrs. Lan, please stand up and speak first."
Zhao Yunzhu found it not very pleasant to see her still kneeling like this.
"If Concubine Yun doesn't agree, I won't get up today."
Mrs. Lan's face was full of stubbornness, which gave Zhao Yunzhu a headache. She felt a little annoyed at being forced into such a situation.
Zhao Yunzhu calmed down and simply let go of her hand, sat down, and looked at Mrs. Lan quietly.
She left Mrs. Lan on her knees, sobbing and convulsing.
"Concubine Yun, I only have this one son. Please have mercy on me. If I lose this son, I really don't know how to live. I might as well die."
Zhao Yunzhu's heart sank, fearing that Madam Lan would commit suicide.
She looked at Mrs. Lan warily, but fortunately Mrs. Lan did not act impulsively the next second.
"My background is not good to begin with. If it weren't for the opportunity, how could I marry my master and enjoy the overwhelming wealth now? But I know that all this is just a mirage. My master doesn't love me, and the concubine in the mansion is favored. His illegitimate son is much more promising than the evil creature I gave birth to."
"The master is completely focused on cultivating that bastard. I know that I can only rely on that evil creature for the rest of my life. I can't count on my master..."
Mrs. Lan raised the corners of her lips, her eyes full of helplessness and self-mockery.
"Why didn't Madam Lan ask Concubine Rong for help?"
Rong Fei was also her daughter, and the Empress Dowager valued Rong Fei so much.
"hehe……"
Mrs. Lan sneered, looked up at Zhao Yunzhu, and her words made Zhao Yunzhu stiffen.
"Concubine Rong? That little bitch wasn't born to me, she's just registered under my name. She's always looked down on me. Master and I are the only ones in the Lan family who know about this."
"Concubine Yun, as long as you and the prince can help my evil creature, I am willing to exchange the secrets in my hands with you."
Mrs. Lan looked serious and reached out to wipe away the tears from her face.
Looking at Zhao Yunzhu, he felt extremely determined.
Since she came today, she had this mentality.
She had no way out. The master wanted to promote the illegitimate son and had already arranged everything for him in the court. As long as he was sent out for a year, he could come back and join the Hanlin Academy.
These days, the favored concubine has been ignoring her even more.
He even told her that the master wanted to make her his concubine.
"Mrs. Lan, I don't think there's anything we can exchange for."
Zhao Yunzhu really didn't care about the affairs of these aristocratic families. Which family doesn't have some troubles?
"Could it be that Concubine Yun is really so cold-blooded and heartless?"
Mrs. Lan sneered.
"The Zhao family was once so prosperous, yet now the entire family has been executed. Doesn't Concubine Yun want revenge?"
"If Concubine Yun has already accepted all of this and only wants to be the daughter-in-law of our enemy, then I think I was wrong about you and apologize for disturbing you today!"
Mrs. Lan stood up, her eyes full of coldness.
