Favoring concubines and ignoring wives? The mistress of the marquisate remarried a powerful official

Cui Xiaoxiao was busy taking care of the research she had just developed when she saw the maid outside running in in a hurry and said to her, "Miss, I heard that Cheng Xiang is now imprisoned in the palace, and the prime minister's wife has also left. I don't know where she went. Now the entire prime minister's mansion is controlled by the Lu family. What should the girl do now?"

Cui Xiaoxiao was not surprised to hear this. She just said, "Even if the sky falls, there are people outside to support it. Why rush? Let's just do our own thing."

Seeing this, the maidservant beside Cui Xiaoxiao immediately said to her, "Young lady, you are calm. But don't let them search our house when they raid our house. What should we do then?"

After hearing this, Cui Xiaoxiao raised her head and said, "Don't say this casually. Be careful that your boss outside hears you and finds someone to sell you out."

The little maidservant covered her mouth in fear when she heard this, and said to Cui Xiaoxiao, "Miss, you are right, you are right, I dare not say anything more. But when I came in just now, I saw a mother outside the mansion calling someone, saying that she wanted to invite you over for a cup of tea."

After hearing this, Cui Xiaoxiao raised her head and said, "If I go out now, I'm afraid the world outside will be in chaos, so it's better for me not to go out."

Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly persuaded her, "Young lady, this lady is the mistress's chambermaid in the Yin Mansion. She came to invite you now, I'm afraid she has something important to say. You'd better go and see her. If you don't go, I'm afraid she has something important to say, which will delay you."

"Do the masters outside know about this?" Cui Xiaoxiao restrained her expression, "Why did you come at this time instead of earlier? I'm afraid you have bad intentions."

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao's maid Liu Lu looked quite embarrassed and said to Cui Xiaoxiao, "The Yin Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are all relatives. They shouldn't have any other ideas, right? They should all be serious."

Cui Xiaoxiao sneered and said to Liu Lu, "Okay, since you want me to go so badly, I'll go and take a look."

As Cui Xiaoxiao spoke, she placed all the things she was working on on the table, clapped her hands, straightened her clothes, and then went out through the side door to the Yin Mansion.

Cui Xiaoxiao dressed simply and went to meet Wu Junrou.

Wu Junrou looked at Cui Xiaoxiao in front of her and was quite surprised. She had seen Cui Xiaoxiao when she was still a concubine and showed up in public. She was arrogant and domineering at that time and made a lot of jokes. Who would have thought that now that she was in person, she was much calmer than before.

When Wu Junrou saw Cui Xiaoxiao, she hurried forward a few steps, looked at her and said with a smile, "Good girl, you are finally here. I wanted to see you once, but it is not easy. I have heard that your hands can make many good things."

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Junrou and said with a smile, "Madam, you are too polite. I just don't know why you called me here today?"

"Good child, I called you here today for no reason. When I saw you and Wan Ning make peace, I was happier than anyone else. I called you here just to see you and talk to you." Wu Junrou said, looking at Cui Xiaoxiao and said, "You are such a beautiful girl, but now you are suffering in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's really heartbreaking to see you."

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao just smiled faintly and said, "I don't feel wronged. The wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion is very kind to me. Now I have money in my hands, and my life is more comfortable than before."

When Wu Junrou heard this, she just smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect you to be so ambitious."

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao immediately looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, do you have anything else to say today? Since I'm here, just tell me what you want to say."

Wu Junrou looked at Cui Xiaoxiao and chuckled, "Good boy, you are an honest person. You also know the current situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister has been locked up in the palace now. It is hard to say whether he can come out alive. I am afraid that Wan Ning will be implicated by then. Although I am the Prime Minister's aunt, I am powerless in such family and national affairs. You are still in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. I am afraid that if the Prime Minister's Mansion falls into trouble, it will also implicate you. We all have to think more about ourselves. As the Prime Minister's aunt, I can't take care of big things, but if I can help the Prime Minister's Mansion to manage the shop in the future, it will still be a small test. You have such a good skill, why not join me, and we will take over the Prime Minister's Mansion housekeeper from the hands of the Lu family. At that time, you will still be the same as now, and I can give you more money. What do you think?"

Cui Xiaoxiao finally understood why the lady had called her here. She looked at Wu Junrou and said, "Madam, the situation is still unsettled. I am a free man in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If the matter is really confiscated, I will leave on my own."

So many properties, if they are confiscated, they will all be confiscated." Wu Junrou held her forehead and said with regret, "The ancestral foundation laid by our ancestors cannot be ruined in the hands of the prime minister. I am not trying to hold these properties in my own hands, but because the prime minister is busy at the moment. I thought of taking these properties over to help manage them first, and if there is nothing wrong in the future, I will return them to them."

Cui Xiaoxiao smiled at Wu Junrou after hearing this, "Madam, you are very thoughtful, but the deeds to those shops are not in my hands now. Even if I want to help you, I have no way to help you. Please think of another way."

Wu Junrou's expression finally cooled down at this point, but she still tried to persuade him, "I heard before that Wan Ning and you had a lot of conflicts, how come you are now on the same side? You have been working under her, so have you never thought about revenge?"

Cui Xiaoxiao spoke slowly, "Madam, you don't know that I did want revenge in the past, but now I have lost the will. I was young and hot-headed back then and didn't know how high the heavens were or how deep the earth was. Now I understand what this matter is like now."

"I am sorry to have troubled you today. In that case, you can go back." Wu Junrou smiled again, but there was no vitality on her face.

Seeing this, Cui Xiaoxiao thanked Yin Fu and left his mansion.

As soon as Cui Xiaoxiao left, Wu Junrou clenched her hands and said coldly, "Who does she think she is? How dare she reject me like this? Just wait a few days, I will let her know how powerful I am."
