Chapter 208: Acting on the Situation (I)



The Prime Minister's Mansion did not experience an uncontrollable situation just because the First Lady had given up on things. Although the Second Aunt did encounter some obstacles when she tried to accept the jurisdiction of the backyard, who in these days would not be tempted by interests?

The Second Aunt was also a ruthless character. When faced with those who deliberately obstructed her, she took action and punished several people personally. Because the Second Aunt was determined to turn against the First Wife and join Luo Xuening, she was ruthless when dealing with the servants under the First Wife who had committed crimes.

Under such high pressure, some people soon couldn't bear it anymore and turned against the emperor. From being followers of the eldest lady, they became slaves who obeyed the master of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In Luo Xuening's words, what she wanted were obedient servants, and if these people were disobedient, she would give up.

Under high pressure, the Prime Minister's Mansion finally regained its former tranquility and peace. For Luo Xuening, this was also the most comfortable time she had spent in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past few months. However, such comfort was ultimately just a short-lived joy.

The eldest lady is already trying every possible way to disrupt the clear spring water in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The opportunity was soon found, which was the emperor's birthday soon after.

The eldest lady has been very depressed recently. She originally thought that she could easily turn the tables by using her control over the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she didn't expect that Prime Minister Luo was determined to deprive her of her official power and actually handed all the power to the second concubine.

When she thought of the Second Aunt, the First Lady couldn't help but become furious. That maid who had always followed her got her current status thanks to her recommendation, but that woman actually betrayed her.

Whenever the eldest lady thought of this, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and tried hard to suppress the urge to kill.

Ever since Luo Rui was called back from Prince Shou's Palace by the eldest lady, he has been secretly observing the unusual movements of people in the Prime Minister's Palace.

At this time, Luo Rui was sitting next to the eldest lady. Looking at the eldest lady who was almost out of control, he narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice and said.

"Mom, the most important thing now is to solve Luo Xue Ning's problem first. As for other things, put them aside for now. In short, you don't need to worry about those low-class people now."

Luo Rui is the legitimate son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He has a calm temperament and most of the time, the First Lady has to listen to him.

Since her son said so, the eldest lady naturally could not let go of the issue of the management rights of the backyard. She and Luo Rui were discussing how to plot against Luo Xuening so that she would never be able to turn over.

This was discussed by the Madam and Luo Rui. The reason why Emperor Nan Shao's birthday was the best time for them to act was because Luo Xue Ning was currently protected by Prince Jing in front and doted on by Prime Minister Luo in the back. If they chose to deal with Luo Xue Ning at home, they would naturally be hindered and would offend these two people at the same time.

Luo Xuening is now under heavy protection, and Luo Xuening herself is also very strong in combat.

The eldest lady had fought with Luo Xue Ning countless times, and she knew very well that Luo Xue Ning was not someone she could easily deal with. Now the eldest lady was already under the control of Luo Xue Ning, so naturally she did not dare to attack her rashly.

However, even with Luo Rui's repeated promises, the eldest lady still did not dare to plot against Luo Xu Ningshi again at the birthday banquet.

You know, last time at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, they wanted to plot against Luo Xue Ning but failed, and instead ruined Luo Xue Yao's reputation. Now, Luo Xue Yao is still locked in the house, under house arrest, and not allowed to go out.

Madam, whenever she thought of Luo Xueyao, she would sigh in her heart. She was the outstanding daughter that she had cultivated with all her heart and soul, but now she was suppressed into the dust by Luo Xuening. How could she not be angry?

This also made the First Lady's resentment towards Luo Xuening even deeper, but when she heard Luo Rui's bold suggestion, she instinctively refused.

"No, no, this is too risky. You know, it's the emperor's birthday banquet. If we mess it up, not only will all our efforts be wasted, but the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be implicated."

The eldest lady spoke earnestly and patted Luo Rui on the shoulder. She knew very well that her son had always been calm, but she didn't know why he was a little impatient for quick success when it came to Luo Xuening.

"Yes, it's not worth taking such a big risk for Luo Xue Ning. Besides, Luo Xue Ning is in the emperor's favor right now. We can plot against her in front of the emperor, which is really risky."

The eldest lady was trembling with fear. Her cautious look caught Luo Rui's eyes, which made him look disdainful.

In Luo Rui's heart, he always thought that his mother was decisive in killing, but when he saw her today, she was no different from a cautious woman who was treading on thin ice.

Luo Rui had met Luo Xue Ning before, but he had never dealt with her face to face. Naturally, he didn't know how talented Luo Xue Ning was. He also didn't believe that Luo Xue Ning was so powerful that she could have turned his mother into this state.

Luo Rui frowned and said softly, "Don't worry, mother. It's definitely not just you who has to deal with Luo Xue Ning. There's also Shou Wang."

"You mean Shou Wang?"

The eldest lady's eyes widened in disbelief, but then she felt relieved.

I guess King Shou wants to cooperate with them?

Could it be that Prince Shou was also involved? Her son told Prince Shou all the secrets of their family.

The eldest lady was a little worried, but Luo Rui was loyal to Prince Shou.

"Mother, I'll tell you the truth. This plan was given by Prince Shou. Prince Shou has already thought of a countermeasure. Whether you agree or not, he will make arrangements on the emperor's birthday. So mother, you just need to concentrate on waiting for Luo Xue Ning. By then, Prince Shou will have schemed against her to the point of destroying her completely."

There was determination in Luo Rui's eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his deep pupils.

The eldest lady was still a little worried, but Luo Rui gave her a cold look and said impatiently, "Since it is the Prince of Shou who has stepped in, mother, what else do you have to worry about? No matter what, this matter will not fall on our Prime Minister's Mansion, so mother, don't think too much, just concentrate on waiting for our news."

Luo Rui was confident about this battle. He had always been a supporter of King Shou. He believed that with King Shou's help, he could not only defeat Luo Xuening this time, but also take the opportunity to defeat Long Moxun.

Luo Rui thinks that he can accomplish great things, and he doesn't take a small character like Luo Xue Ning seriously. What he wants to do is to frame Long Mo Xun.

Only at this moment did the eldest lady feel completely relieved. Since someone was willing to deal with Luo Xuening for her, she was naturally happy to take advantage of the situation.

After the mother and son had a discussion, the eldest lady decided to leave the matter of Luo Xue Ning to her son. His primary task now was to restore Luo Xue Yao's image in the eyes of the dignitaries in the capital. After all, she was the legitimate daughter she had personally raised, and the eldest lady had only one daughter. Even if he was in trouble now, the eldest lady could not completely ignore Luo Xue Yao.

"By the way, Rui'er, your sister has been in a bad mood since the last Chinese Valentine's Day. She has locked herself in her room and refused to go out. If she continues like this, I will be very worried. Your sister also listens to you. If you have time, go and persuade your sister."

"She is going to be a princess in the future. How can she give up on herself because of such trivial matters?"

The eldest lady has always loved Luo Rui and Luo Xueyao very much, and she also hopes that the two siblings can support each other.

Just when Luo Xueyao was mentioned, Luo Rui's eyes showed obvious disdain. Luo Xueyao's personality was that of a willful and capricious person. Apart from her pretty face, he really couldn't find any other advantages in his sister.

Luo Rui sighed inwardly. No wonder, Prince Shou simply looked down on her.

However, facing his mother's request, Luo Rui could not express his dissatisfaction so directly, and only said in a deep voice: "My sister really needs to change her temper. This time, let her take it as a lesson and let her reflect on it at home.

Luo Rui raised his hand. Will his sister change? He still waited and saw: "I hope she really knows her mistake this time. Otherwise, let alone Prince Shou, who is unwilling to let her be the princess, even ordinary families will not want a proud woman."

Luo Rui's words were indeed harsh, and the eldest lady immediately looked embarrassed, but these words were said by her own son, and he was not wrong. In Luo Xueyao's current situation, she didn't need to dream of the position of princess.

The eldest lady gritted her teeth, but her resentment towards Luo Xuening deepened.

She clenched her palms, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I understand, son, you should be careful out there, and we will act according to the circumstances when the time comes."
