Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Xi Qiao's gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, clearly seeing the greed in their eyes.

"You and I know perfectly well how the clan has treated us and the Empress over the years. The Empress and I have not benefited from the clan in the slightest. On the contrary, out of respect for the Empress and the Sixth Prince, the nobles have been very lenient towards the Yu family."

“If you are smart enough, you should be content and grateful, and take advantage of this great opportunity to cultivate the younger generation in your family. Although the Empress and I are not people who repay evil with good, we don’t mind if you follow behind us and get some benefits.”

She spoke softly and slowly, but every word she uttered seemed to weigh a ton, making the Yu clan members unable to lift their heads.

"But you're all incredibly stupid, greedy as mad dogs, wishing you could bite half of me and the Empress off. What? Do you think I've gotten to where I am today in the palace all these years just because of my good temper?"

The disdain and warning were made without any attempt to conceal them, completely extinguishing any previous sense of complacency among the Yu family members.

The clan leader looked at her calm and indifferent eyes, his lips trembling with fear, unable to utter a word.

Yu Lu is determined to sever ties with the clan!

After Consort Zhuang rose to power, he made a point of inquiring about the two sisters, hoping to curry favor with them and bring glory to his own family.

How much fortune and wealth did those bondservant families under the Imperial Household Department gain because their daughters gave birth to princes? Which bondservant family didn't feel envious and jealous?

Although he wasn't particularly capable, the opportunity was right in front of him, so why would he let it slip by?

Unfortunately, these two sisters were not only difficult to please and flatter, but they were also so heartless that their words implied a desire to harm the Yu family.

Before meeting Xi Qiao, the clan leader had prepared countless words of persuasion and pleading, but now he felt there was no need to say them anymore.

Yu Chonglin, who had already experienced Xi Qiao's methods, swallowed hard. This rebellious daughter was so unruly and disregarded human ethics and etiquette when she was the head maid of Consort Zhuang. Now that she has received favor and become the primary wife of the Sixth Prince, she will surely become even more arrogant and domineering.

"Big sister..." Yu Chonglin's voice was weak. If he didn't say a few good words for the clan in this situation, how could he gain a foothold in the clan in the future?

He stood up to ease the tension, intending to use his status as a father to intimidate her with filial piety, but he knew clearly that he couldn't control her at all, so he could only smile politely and politely.

"Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Calm down, calm down, have some tea... Someone, quickly bring some tea."

Looking at the empty coffee table, Yu Chonglin's smile froze, and he suppressed his anger and roared towards the outside.

As the maids filed in and served tea, the group tacitly drank their tea to cover up their awkwardness.

During this break from drinking tea, Yu Chonglin's mind was racing.

This rebellious daughter swindled 50,000 taels of silver from her family when she left the palace last time. They thought she must be short of money, so the clan prepared an extremely generous dowry to please her. But the rebellious daughter was unmoved.

With two daughters born into his family, Yu Chonglin had no shortage of ideas. However, these two rebellious women were completely beyond his control.

He was actually unwilling to let the clan come to him wanting to squeeze money out of these two rebellious women.

What a joke! No matter how unfilial these two rebellious daughters are, they are still his bloodline. He, as their father, hasn't even received enough benefits yet, and these people in the clan still want a share.

He had actually discerned something about this rebellious daughter's behavior last time. It was clear she didn't want them to act outside the palace using the Sixth Prince's name.

It's no secret that these people in the clan are utterly useless; if they were to actually get close to someone, who knows what kind of mess they might make.

This rebellious woman would abandon even her own family, let alone these clansmen she'd barely even met.

only……

Yu Chonglin's eyes lit up, and he immediately had an idea.

"Big sister..."

He spoke with great warmth: "It is indeed the clan's fault, but there is nothing the clan can do about it."

"It may not be easy for you in the palace, but it's not easy for our clan outside the palace either. In recent years, the clan's members have been unproductive, and other families have been constantly squeezing the Yu clan's living space."

“Our clan is weak, and the daughters selected to enter the palace don’t have a good place to go. They are all assigned to unimportant places to do rough and dirty work. These places are of no help to you and the Empress. In fact, you and the Empress may have to help them.”

"It's not easy for such a golden pair as you and the Empress to emerge. It's just the beginning of an opportunity for our clan to rise. How could the clan not go to great lengths to build a good relationship with you? It's true that the clan's members have received preferential treatment because of the Empress, but there are clearly still opportunities to go further. Who wants to stay where they are?"

"The clan is so focused on wealth and power that they have forgotten about you and the Empress. It is indeed wrong of the clan. When you and the Empress were at home, I neglected you, which was also my fault. Don't worry, we will talk things out today and we will never do it again."

The Yu family was shocked. What nonsense was Yu Chonglin spouting?

If we don't fawn over Consort Zhuang and her sisters, what will become of their wealth and status?

What will happen to the future of the clan's children?

Yu Chonglin ignored the angry glare from the person next to him and bowed to Xi Qiao, saying, "Elder sister, I apologize to you today. I was wrong in the past."

As he spoke, his eyes reddened as if he were quite ashamed.

Xi Qiao raised an eyebrow, continuing to sip her tea and water, pretending not to have seen Yu Chonglin's bow. She wanted to avoid him shamelessly clinging to her if she opened her mouth.

As for whether others would use moral condemnation to blackmail her, she actually hoped they would be more forceful and excessive, so she could deal with them all today and avoid future troubles.

Yu Chonglin didn't get a way out from Xi Qiao, so he gritted his teeth, straightened his back, took the dowry list from Ling Gu, and turned to the Yu family.

“Fellow clansmen, although I am not very talented, I can still provide my eldest sister’s dowry. Please take this list back.”

"Chonglin..."

The clan chief stood up shakily, looked at Xi Qiao who was staring at his teacup with no intention of communicating with them, and then looked at the other clansmen who dared not speak out in anger.

Even if it's difficult to speak, as the clan leader, he has to step up now.

“You are the father of the Empress and your eldest niece. Please try to persuade your eldest niece again. No matter what, the two of you are still of the Yu family. Although the Empress and your eldest niece have been promoted to a higher social class, they still have the blood of the Yu family. The clan was wrong before, but the clan will definitely compensate the Empress and your eldest niece double.”

Yu Chonglin cursed inwardly, "How dare you, you old bastard, know that these two rebellious daughters have been promoted to high positions! I am her father, that's true, but now it is that rebellious daughter who controls the life and death of the Yu family!"

Didn't you see me, as the father, just apologizing to that rebellious daughter without even caring about my reputation? Do you see that rebellious daughter showing any sign of backing down?

advise?

I, a father myself, have been so humble and apologetic, do you think that rebellious daughter even accepted it? Do you think he could persuade her?

How can I persuade them? Should I risk my life to do it?
