After Chu Yuheng got the list, he found that all the people on the list were powerful people in the court. If all these people were imprisoned, it would cause chaos in the court.

He could only secretly report the list to the emperor and act according to the emperor's orders.

The emperor was also furious after seeing this list, but he knew that these people controlled half of the country. He had no choice but to let Chu Yuheng take action against the minor officials under them to warn them.

Since those who were dismissed and investigated were ordinary officials and did not match the ones on the list, Lord Gu did not harbor any doubts.

As time goes by, winter comes in a blink of an eye.

Everyone in the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion began to purchase charcoal and cotton clothes for the winter. Yu Wangfei looked at the charcoal delivered to the mansion for the winter and glanced at it calmly.

In her previous life, she was not worthy of enjoying the warmth of the charcoal fire. Even in severe cold, she would be dragged to the yard by the Gu family to feel the biting east wind.

Although the Marquis' Mansion sent several pots of charcoal in this life, Yu Wangfei knew very well that Madam Gu and Yu Qiaoqiao used the more precious Silver Frost charcoal in their yard.

After all, in her previous life, she had been dragged into the house by Yu Qiaoqiao and humiliated. She could see that the charcoal burning in the charcoal basin was silver frost charcoal.

It was obvious that even though she was pregnant with the seventh prince's child, the Gu family was not willing to give her good charcoal.

How could she swallow her anger when others bullied her?

"Yunhua, tell them to take these charcoals and follow me." Yu Wangfei pointed at the charcoal on the ground and then walked towards Old Madam Gu's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Yu Qiaoqiao's voice trying to please the old lady in the yard.

Yu Wangfei pushed the door open and walked in, scaring Yu Qiaoqiao.

"Why are you here? Grandmother didn't call you!" Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Yu Wangfei warily.

She was worried that Yu Wangfei would come and tell the old lady about her.

The things that happened before made the old lady very dissatisfied with her. If she hadn't been so sweet to make the old lady happy, she would have been abandoned.

"I brought a gift for my grandmother." Yu Wangfei waved her hand, and the maid behind her hurriedly brought out the charcoal and placed it respectfully on the ground.

Mrs. Gu knew what Yu Wangfei was here for at just one glance, and she had someone send the charcoal to Yu Wangfei.

In her eyes, Yu Wangfei was not a member of the Gu family, so it was impossible for her to give her the best silver frost charcoal, but she was pregnant with the seventh prince's child, so she gave her the ordinary charcoal used by the servants.

"This is the charcoal that the servants brought for this winter." Yu Wangfei sneered, "Grandma, take a look."

"Charcoal?" Old Madam Gu looked at Madam Gu in confusion.

It's easy to guess who did it. Although Madam Gu doesn't like Yu Wangfei, Yu Wangfei is pregnant with the Seventh Prince's child. If the Seventh Prince knew that their mansion treated Yu Wangfei badly, it would probably cause misunderstanding.

"I think that the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion is a big family in the city. No matter what, they can't use charcoal for their master." Yu Wangfei deliberately looked at Madam Gu.

"Maybe the servants sent the wrong charcoal." Madam Gu quickly tried to smooth things over. "Everyone in the Marquis's Mansion uses Silver Frost Charcoal. I'll ask the housekeeper to check the storehouse again and send it to Yu."

The matter was brought to the attention of the old lady, and she could only take this opportunity to make amends.

Madam Du saw what Madam Gu meant and quickly defended her, "It was all my fault. There was really not much money left in the mansion, so the amount of silver frost charcoal I bought was insufficient to supply the whole mansion. I thought it was just the beginning of winter and the weather was not very cold yet, so I asked the servants to send some charcoal to Madam Gu first. When I have more money in the future, I will buy more silver frost charcoal for Madam Gu to use."

"Then I have to thank Madam Du too." Yu Wangfei had a cold face and raised her hand to touch her belly, giving them a silent threat.

"Yu is pregnant now. She is a great contributor to our mansion. No one should treat Yu unfairly." Old Madam Gu said deliberately.

How could Madam Gu not know what the old lady meant? She could only suppress her anger and stare at Yu Wangfei with gritted teeth: "The old lady is right. I will take out the silver frost charcoal in my room and send it to Fangfei Garden."

"Why?" Yu Qiaoqiao was dissatisfied. "As a daughter-in-law, you actually asked your mother-in-law to give up the charcoal fire. You are being unfilial!"

Seeing that Yu Wangfei did not refute, Yu Qiaoqiao became proud: "Yu Wangfei, let me tell you, giving you these charcoal fires is already a gift from us to you, and you are still not satisfied."

"I heard that there is also silver frost charcoal in my sister's room." Yu Wangfei adjusted his sleeves, "It turns out that the wife of the Marquis of Cheng'en can only use charcoal, while the concubine can use silver frost charcoal."

"Shut up!" Yu Qiaoqiao was irritated. "I am the cousin of the Marquis's Mansion. How can you, an outsider, compare with me?"

"What do you think?" Yu Wangfei puffed out her belly and smiled with her head down.

"Enough." Old Madam Gu glared at Yu Qiaoqiao and signaled her to shut up.

Now that Yu Wangfei is pregnant, their Marquis' Mansion naturally cannot treat her unfairly. Old Madam Gu gave Madam Gu a look and let her handle it herself.

Ever since she was sure that Yu Wangfei was pregnant, Old Madam Gu had been deliberately forcing Yu Wangfei. She didn't like her, but she couldn't do anything about her, so she thought about avoiding her.

She originally thought that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion thought this way, but unexpectedly, Madam Gu even wanted to withhold her share of the profits, causing her to rush directly to her yard to demand an explanation.

"If Yu Shi doesn't like the silver frost charcoal in my room." Madam Gu gritted her teeth and took out a jade pendant, "then take this jade pendant and exchange it for some charcoal that you like."

"If you have the ability, take your mother-in-law's money." Yu Qiaoqiao snorted coldly.

In her opinion, asking her mother-in-law for money is not what a daughter-in-law should do. If she takes it, it will confirm her unfilial words of forcing her mother-in-law.

Yu Wangfei really walked over and took the jade pendant from Madam Gu's hand. Madam Gu's face suddenly froze.

She was just saying that, but she didn't think that Yu Wangfei would really take it.

"This is a gift from my mother-in-law. It would be unfilial if I didn't accept it." Yu Wangfei deliberately emphasized the word "given" in order to let everyone present know that this jade pendant was not given to him by her, but by Madam Gu.

Mrs. Gu, who was put in this situation, could only nod and smile: "Yes, I gave it to Yu."

Yu Wangfei took the jade pendant in her hand and played with it for a while, and found that the jade pendant was indeed worth some value. No wonder Mrs. Gu's face changed so quickly after she took it away.

"You do not want……"

Before Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Old Madam Gu glared at her and signaled her to shut up.

After leaving Old Madam Gu's yard, Yu Wangfei, feeling satisfied, planned to go out shopping.

She didn't dare to let the Gu family do it again. If someone didn't want her to live, he would poison the cakes like he did last time, or poison the charcoal fire this time. She would definitely die.

So it is better to go in person to buy charcoal.
