Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and then Old Madam Zhan, who was leaning on a cane, slowly pulled open the curtain.
Old Madam Lou screamed and subconsciously took the quilt to cover herself completely.
She asked guiltily: "You, why are you here so late?"
Madam Zhan stared at her fiercely: "It's already this late, and you still dare to mess around with your mistress? Aren't you afraid that your scandal will be exposed and Zhan Yan will kick you out?"
Madam Lou lazily tossed her hair, without even putting on her clothes, she walked straight up to Madam Zhan and said, "He hasn't come to my yard for eight hundred years. Let alone me raising a lover, even if I raise a child, he will never find out!"
Old Madam Zhan sat on the bed in a bad mood, and the little lover with rosy lips and white teeth came forward considerately to massage her shoulders and back.
She gritted her teeth and said, "My Yu'er has been driven away. I have no way to keep him. Zhan Yan is too cruel!"
Old Madam Lou frowned, "This is all caused by that troublemaker Lin Yiwan. Even if Zhan Yan wasn't particularly considerate to you in the past, she wouldn't have angered you like this. As long as you kick her out of the mansion, everything will be back to normal!"
Speaking of this, Madam Zhan became even angrier.
She gritted her teeth and said, "How many schemes have we come up with to get rid of her? Won't they all come back to haunt us? Is there any other way?"
Madam Lou rolled her eyes and said quickly, "How about another trick of borrowing a knife to kill someone?"
Madam Zhan looked at her with a frown: "Whose knife do you want to borrow?"
Madam Lou whispered something in her ear, and she finally relaxed her expression and said, "You're really smart. I'll send a message to Yu'er right away, telling him to go and seek refuge with King Zhongyong immediately!"
Not long after, an old nanny was seen leaving the mansion from the back door late at night.
At this moment, Zhan Yu, who was in Wutong Alley, was angry at Chen Zhilan. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "If it weren't for you, why would I become a stray dog?"
Chen Zhilan was also extremely aggrieved, but she did not dare to argue.
She could only caress her belly and cry, "Brother Yu, I'm pregnant with your child. As long as the green mountains are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood. As long as the old lady stays in the Marquis' Mansion, we will have a chance to turn things around!"
Thinking of his grandmother, Zhan Yu's expression softened.
Yes, that was his only hope.
At this time, the nanny beside the old lady had already entered the courtyard. She whispered, "Master Yu, the old lady has sent a message, asking you to go to the Zhongyong Prince's Mansion to surrender. She said that the only person in the entire capital who hates Lin Yiwan the most is Princess Xinya, and she hates her for life!"
Zhan Yu's eyes lit up. Princess Xinya? How could he have forgotten?
Last time, she was beaten with a stick because of Lin Yiwan at the banquet hosted by the eldest princess. I guess she should have recovered by now.
He made up his mind and asked Chen Zhilan to send a letter requesting an audience to Princess Xinya the next day. The two of them agreed to meet at a teahouse.
Princess Xinya came over with an arrogant air. She put her hood aside and said sternly, "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!"
Although Zhan Yu was annoyed by her rudeness, he had to bow his head under the eaves.
He is no longer the prince of the marquisate that everyone wanted to curry favor with, and he is not even the son of Zhan Yan.
He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, I know the prince has always hated my father for being a robber and stealing the deed to Black Forest Mountain from him!"
Princess Xinya looked at him with disdain: "As far as I know, you have been removed from the Zhan Yan family tree. You have nothing to do with him now, right?"
Zhan Yu explained without hesitation, "But my grandmother is still alive. She loves me very much, you know that. Besides, I also know that Black Forest Mountain is very important to your father. So, as long as you help me deal with Lin Yiwan, I will find a way to get the deed to Black Forest Mountain for you!"
There was a flicker of struggle in Princess Xinya's eyes. It had to be said that this condition really made her excited.
She wanted to share her father's worries, as King Chungyong had not had an easy time in recent days.
Ever since he was stripped of his military power and handed over the title deed to Black Forest Mountain, he has never smiled again.
Even when she went to ask for a meeting, she was turned away.
Once upon a time, she was her father's favorite darling.
Sensing the struggling expression on Princess Xinya's face, Zhan Yu couldn't help but speak: "Your Highness, that bitch has humiliated you so much, making you get beaten in public and even having you scolded by the current emperor. Are you really willing to accept this?"
Princess Xinya suddenly slammed her hand on the table. "Of course I won't accept this. I wish I could tear her skin off and break her bones!"
Zhan Yu smiled cunningly: "Yes, as long as she dies, we will all be happy!"
Princess Xinya suddenly stood up and said, "Go back and prepare the deed to Black Forest Mountain. I will personally send Lin Yiwan to hell very soon!"
Zhan Yu nodded and quickly saw her off.
Princess Xinya got into the carriage and ordered her maid, "Go to the Imperial Temple and tell Master Mingzhi that it will rain next month. Ask him to move up the day for the sutra drying ceremony!"
The maid did not dare to delay and hurried to inform him.
Soon, all the noble ladies and wives from the major families in the capital received invitations to the Sutra Drying Day.
Lin Yiwan was no exception. She held the invitation personally sent by Old Madam Lou, her eyes full of amusement.
Madam Lou said from the side, "You are the mistress of our mansion. The old lady is not feeling well, so this year it is your turn to be the representative. Remember, in addition to helping to dry the scriptures, you must also donate three thousand taels of silver to the temple for incense money!"
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Lin Yiwan's face. This old lady was really interesting. She kept saying that she was the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't want to share the housekeeping power. It was obvious that she wanted to make her a sucker.
She has to pay three thousand taels of silver out of her own pocket?
She's thinking shit!
She didn't hesitate any longer and said quickly, "Zi'er, Ling'er, let's go find the old lady to get the silver!"
Madam Lou immediately became anxious. She hurriedly tried to stop him, "Lin Yiwan, why are you still bothering the old lady? Didn't I tell you that she's not feeling well and won't see any guests?"
Lin Yiwan suddenly stopped in her tracks: "There's no need for her to meet the guests. Just ask her to hand over the three thousand taels of silver to me!"
Madam Lou interrupted without hesitation: "As the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, you don't even have this little money, right?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Look at what you said. Of course I have this little bit of money, but why should I pay it out? No new bride would bring her dowry to fill the public treasury. If the old lady was dead, it would be fine, but she is still alive. I absolutely cannot go past her!"
Old Madam Lou almost rolled her eyes in anger. Lin Yiwan was really sharp-tongued and didn't spare anyone at all.
Lin Yiwan didn't care how ugly her face was and walked straight towards the old lady's yard.
Several old maids stopped outside and said with embarrassment: "Madam, the old lady is sick and has just gone to bed. Please go back first!"
