Inside the president's office of Orchid Bank, He Yunxiao and the two female protagonists were having a heated discussion about various possible scenarios.
Suddenly, He Yunxiao stood up abruptly.
"Oh no, she's here!"
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun both looked up at He Yunxiao. They were both very intelligent girls, and they knew who the newcomer was without He Yunxiao having to say anything.
It was not surprising that the eldest princess came to see Du Yinyun, but the speed at which she arrived was completely unexpected for the three people present.
Mengbao's speed directly reflects her attitude; the faster she arrives, the more anxious she is.
This is a very bad situation.
Having seen it all before, Sister Jiang was the first to react, and she immediately scolded Du Yinyun, "My dear sister, you have no idea how I've been living these past six months!"
Du Yinyun was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and cooperated with Jiang Wuyou, saying, "Sister Wuyou, the young master is kind and generous, would he neglect you?"
Jiang Wuyou said, "He Yunxiao would naturally not, but some women are another story."
While admiring the acting skills of the two leading ladies, He Yunxiao slowly backed away and pointed to the door, indicating that the newcomer was outside.
Having discussed it beforehand, Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun worked together seamlessly. They took turns talking, and in the course of their conversation, they portrayed the unsuspecting Ruobao as a woman who was hated by everyone, two-faced, narrow-minded, and jealous.
In short, the only redeeming quality of the weakling is her ability to compete for affection; she has no other redeeming qualities.
By the end, even Meng Qingqian, who was standing outside the door, couldn't listen anymore.
Fan Ziruo is, after all, a talented military commander. I've heard that she's strict with herself and respects the virtuous and capable. Even if she's good at vying for favor, she's not entirely useless.
However, Mengbao also expressed her understanding of Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun's subjective remarks.
She gets anxious and might curse at He Yunxiao a few times, just to vent her emotions; it's nothing serious.
Fan Ziruo's actions of ostracizing Jiang Wuyou only confirmed that she was unpopular.
Having overheard enough outside the door, Mengbao began to tidy her clothes. Seeing this, her maidservant with a sword immediately went to knock on the door for Her Highness.
"Manager Du, my master would like to have a talk with you."
He Yunxiao hid in the closet in Du's office, holding his breath. He watched helplessly as Du Yinyun invited Mengbao and Jianling into the room.
Mengbao pretended to ask a few questions about Daqi Bank. After Du Meimei answered them one by one, she changed the subject and began to inquire about Fan Ziruo.
"When I came here just now, I passed by the academy and saw that it was quite lively. Is there some kind of festival in the city?"
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun exchanged a glance, and Jiang Wuyou said, "It is the Marquis of Wuqing's family that is proposing marriage to the Fan family."
Sister Jiang was in low spirits, and her words carried a hint of loneliness; her acting was superb.
"Oh?" Mengbao feigned surprise. "That's actually a good thing," she said.
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun both wore "reluctant" smiles.
Meng Qingqian asked with a smile, "Why do you two look so happy? Isn't this a joyous occasion?"
"Your Highness may not know..." Sister Jiang repeated what she had just said to Mengbao in detail.
Mengbao said angrily, "This is outrageous! You and Yinyun are both good girls from wealthy families, how can you be bullied by that man surnamed Fan?"
Jiang Wuyou sighed and said, "Although Miss Fan doesn't get along with us, she is very much liked by the young master. Yinyun and I don't want to go against her, lest we displease the young master."
Mengbao had overheard Fan Ziruo vying for the emperor's favor outside the door, but she was unaware that Fan Ziruo was quite favored.
Then, Sister Jiang embellished Princess Chang's description of how favored Fan Ziruo was. Some of the things she said made He Yunxiao, who was hiding in the closet, feel embarrassed.
What do you mean by "the strategist never gets up early"? It's clearly Sister Jiang who gets up later more often.
In the hall outside the counter, Mengbao clenched her fists when she heard "not getting up early every day." She was so immersed in the situation that she was already getting angry.
Although Mengbao was angry, she had not lost her mind.
If what Jiang Wuyou said is true, and Fan Ziruo is indeed favored by He Yunxiao, then this matter must be carefully considered.
Although Mengbao was very confident in her relationship with He Yunxiao, she also knew He Yunxiao very well. That little rascal He Yunxiao was only responsive to gentle persuasion, not force. Even if she confronted him and explained Fan Ziruo's actions, as long as Fan Ziruo cried and made a scene, the little rascal would be helpless. She might even have to spend a lot of effort comforting her.
To fundamentally solve this problem, He Yunxiao must become aware of Fan Ziruo's character and then consciously keep his distance from her.
While this plan can fundamentally solve the problem, it cannot be accomplished overnight.
Mengbao thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
On one hand, she tried to get close to Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun, asking them to contact her more often. On the other hand, she advised the two to remain calm and not to confront Fan Ziruo impulsively. She suggested that secretly gathering evidence and then striking decisively was the right way to deal with Fan Ziruo.
Unlike He Yunxiao, Mengbao was not an idle person. After finishing her business at the Orchid Bank, she returned to the palace without stopping.
He Yunxiao climbed out of the cabinet after Mengbao left.
The maid, Sister Du, quickly rushed ahead of Sister Jiang to help He Yunxiao.
Jiang Wuyou wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed, "Xiao'er, how do you usually get along with the Princess? This woman is really hard to deal with. If we hadn't discussed a plan beforehand, we would definitely have been defeated by her today. Fortunately, she was so eager to protect her husband that she fell into the trap and got tricked."
He Yunxiao smiled and said, "Actually, she's quite cute usually."
Jiang Wuyou and Du Yinyun were both stunned.
