I'm already dressed like a fool, what's wrong with taking the regent into the bridal chamb

Wen Qingzhi laughed out loud in anger, "Then I really have to thank the Regent for giving me this opportunity."

"You're welcome. I'll keep it in mind."

"..."

shameless.

Wen Qingzhi cursed in her heart.

After arriving at the Marquis' Mansion, the carriage went directly in through the back door. Wen Qingzhi jumped off the carriage, feeling uneasy, and instructed Feng Yunxiao again.

"Although those people may have some concerns, we are also afraid that they will reach the end of their rope and do something drastic."

I’m afraid the other party will try their best and commit crimes against the wind.

"Ah."

Feng Junxiao agreed and left, leaving Wen Qingzhi to go back alone.

She didn't go directly to her room, but went to visit Zheng Yue, her adopted sister.

"Sister."

When I came in, the old nanny was pouring tea for Zheng Yue, and the child was sleeping soundly in the cradle.

"Azhi, you're here?"

Zheng Yue put down the little tiger-head bellyband in her hand and beckoned Wen Qingzhi to sit next to her. "You came just in time. Look, I embroidered this for the child."

Wen Qingzhi went over and praised her for her dexterity, then said, "It's better not to do these things during the confinement period. Be careful of your eyes."

"I have nothing to do, so I made two bellybands for the kids."

"Second Miss, please tell me about Madam. I've been talking to her till my lips are worn out, but Madam won't listen."

The old nanny smiled bitterly, poured a cup of warm tea for Wen Qingzhi, took off her wet cloak, and took it to the stove to dry.

"It's so cold, and my daughter has to travel around these days. It's really hard work."

The old nanny looked at Wen Qingzhi with heartache in her eyes.

Zheng Yue also restrained the smile on her face and looked at her worriedly: "I also heard about what happened in the past two days. Ah Zhi, it's too dangerous."

Zheng Yue has always been a smart woman, and she has heard about the Wen family's affairs.

Wen Qingzhi hides her incompetence in front of outsiders, revealing only an arrogant and domineering image to the world, but Zheng Yue knows clearly that her sister is not an ordinary person.

She definitely did this with a purpose, and judging from the rumors in recent days, her sister's target was the old subordinates of Marquis Wen.

When talking to smart people, Wen Qingzhi doesn't feel so tired.

This sworn sister is now in the same boat with herself, so she is not afraid that she will leak the news.

After all, deceiving the emperor is a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's clan.

Wen Qingzhi sighed, "There's no other way."

Wen Qingzhi only said four words to explain her current situation.

At this point, Zheng Yue didn't ask any more questions. She thought for a moment and said, "If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me."

"it is good."

This was the first time Wen Qingzhi showed signs of fatigue in front of outsiders. She leaned back in her chair and said, "Indeed, I've been quite tired these past two days."

The injury on her arm hasn't healed yet, and she's busy with all these things. The key is that she is the only one who has to deal with these things.

She leaned back in her chair, squinting her eyes. "Until this matter is settled, I won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. I'm afraid something might happen along the way."

"The consequences of this incident are too heavy. I'm afraid I can't bear it."

Zheng Yue could understand her feeling of powerlessness, and when she heard this, she winked at the nanny.

The old nanny understood and stepped forward to give Wen Qingzhi a massage. "I have learned a few tricks from an old gentleman. I can give this young lady a massage. It will be easier for her."

The nanny's movements were light and her strength was just right, neither too light nor too heavy, which was quite comfortable.

Wen Qingzhi enjoyed the nanny's service and her expression gradually became happy.

After a while, she asked Mammy to stop, "Mammy, that's enough."

She slowly opened her eyes, and her bright pupils were tinged with light again.

"It's been snowing heavily lately and it's hard to travel. I'm sure my sister's parents will arrive later."

"That's no hurry."

Zheng Yue let out a long sigh, "I don't know why, but ever since I knew my parents were coming, I've felt so relieved."

"I used to be so anxious, sitting there on pins and needles all day, watching those annoying people swaying around in front of me... Haha, I was always angry with myself."

Zheng Yue thought about the past days. Although he had fine clothes and delicious food in the mansion, it was not as comfortable as in the Marquis' Mansion.

It's funny that those people still eat and drink themselves.

"It's not advisable to get angry during the confinement period."

Wen Qingzhi noticed that she was in a bad mood and said bluntly: "No matter what grudges there are, we will settle them after the confinement period."

Zheng Yue forced herself to hold back the breath in her chest and smiled, "I understand."

She looked at her daughter sleeping soundly in the cradle, a smile on her lips, "When I'm out of confinement, I'm going to settle accounts with that bastard couple."

People say that the day is an irreconcilable enemy, and there is some truth to this.

A woman went through the gates of hell for this family, and the child she gave birth to was related to her by blood, but did not belong to her.

If they separate, in this era, the child will be given priority to the man.

Moreover, once a divorce is concluded, women will always be labeled as bad.

"lady--"

"Mammy, from now on it will be my turn as the eldest daughter. Don't call me Madam."

Zheng Yue corrected him, "From now on, I have nothing to do with the Baili family. After the confinement period..."

Her expression dimmed for a moment, then brightened again. "I will stay in the capital and take good care of my shops."

She stretched lazily and said casually, "Over the years, I've given up so much for Baili Xuance. Now, it's time to catch him."

Looking at Zheng Yue who had regained her original intention, the old nanny smiled sincerely.

That's it, her girl was once a high-spirited girl.

It’s all Baili Xuance’s fault for luring her daughter into the shit pit!

Does the Baili family really think they are such a good place?

And there is the old lady. Her son just got an official position, but he looks down on her daughter in every way.

What a joke! If it weren't for her girl's help, would Baili Xuance really think he could get a job?

In the past, she also hated it, hated that her daughter didn't know how to judge people and fell into Baili Xuance's sweet conspiracy.

Now that her daughter has seen clearly, it is not too late.

It's a pity that most of the dowry she brought was squandered by those ghosts from the Baili family...

But it doesn’t matter. The girl is smart and with the shop, she will be able to return to the way things were before soon.

"By the way, Azhi."

Zheng Yue looked at Wen Qingzhi and asked, "When you asked the Yuan family for money earlier, did you have any experience?"

"No."

Wen Qingzhi said seriously: "The Yuan family is shameless at home, but they care about their reputation, so I chose a day that they can't refuse to ask for it."

Zheng Yue had heard about this matter.

She then asked, "What will you do if you can't find that day?"

"I'm right, so I'm not afraid of making a big fuss because I don't care what others think of me."

"I'm a lonely man, and other people's opinions don't matter to me. The Yuan family is different. They want to gain a foothold in the capital and climb up the social ladder, so they can't ruin their reputation in public."

"I think, Sister, besides taking care of yourself after your confinement, you should first take control of your business and the shop that you can directly manage."

"For example, an adopted child. As long as you can prove the item belongs to you, there's nothing to worry about. I'm just worried that since you haven't been involved in the business for so many years, it might have become someone else's property, either openly or covertly. It would be difficult to pursue the matter."

Wen Qingzhi's words reminded Zheng Yue that there were indeed two jewelry shops with good profits, and the shopkeepers who had come with her were squeezed out by the Baili family.

At least, the things are all under my name.

But...the adopted children are still in the Baili family.

Seeing Zheng Yue's expression change slightly, Wen Qingzhi knew that something must have gone wrong.

"I have to go back as soon as possible, organize my things, and bring them back."

The more Zheng Yue thought about it, the more anxious she became. "I haven't been home these past few days. I'm afraid they've taken everything."

"You can't go now..."

"My dear, the adopted children are kept in a secret compartment in the house. No one knows about it, so they can't take it away. But... I'm afraid they won't let go of your dowry."

The old nanny also began to worry, "Those jewelry alone are worth a fortune... If they were used by that vixen An Susu, I'm afraid you wouldn't want them anymore."

"No, I have to go back—"

Zheng Yue struggled to get out of bed, but Wen Qingzhi came forward and held her down.

"The wound hasn't healed yet, why are you going?"

"But--"

"If you trust me, please tell me the place and I'll ask Zhang Ye to go there."

Firstly, her people couldn't show up, and their skills were still a little lacking. Zhang Ye was different; even if his identity was exposed, no one would bother him.

Secondly, Zhang Ye is the regent's man, so he is neutral and has no direct interest relationship, which can make Zheng Yue feel more at ease.
