The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

The next day, in the courtyard of the Fifth Concubine at the Minister's residence.

The maid led Madam Sun in.

"Sister is here."

Fifth Aunt's voice sounded somewhat weak.

As soon as Madam Sun entered the room, she saw Fifth Concubine lying sickly on the bed, her face pale and her expression haggard.

She was overjoyed.

The soul-locking formation really worked!

Where is that bitch now, who is she now, with all those jewels and precious stones?

He's become a sickly person!

She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were turning up, hurried to the bedside, and asked with feigned concern, "It's been several days since I last saw you, sister. What happened to you? How did you get so sick?"

When Fifth Aunt saw the smug look in her eyes, her heart sank. She said listlessly, "I'm sorry to have worried you, sister. It's just a common cold, but I don't know why it won't get better."

"Looking like this, my sister will laugh at me."

Not getting better?

If it doesn't get better, that's for sure!

Madam Sun felt completely refreshed.

But she put on the act of a "good older sister" and said, "What are you saying, little sister? How could I laugh at you? I'm worried about you more than anything!"

He paused, then asked, "Is what you said in your letter about entering the manor... true? Are you really willing to help me?"

Fifth Aunt sneered inwardly.

Are you really that impatient? Can't you even pretend a little longer?

She coughed and said weakly, "Of course."

"To be honest, sister, I don't know what's wrong with me these days. I'm always absent-minded and listless. Even when the master comes..."

At this point, Fifth Aunt seemed to choke up and raised her handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

Her dowry maid seized the opportunity and rushed over, crying and saying, "Madam, please don't do anything rash! Master will definitely come back!"

Fifth Aunt calmed down, patted the maid's hand and said, "You don't need to comfort me. If I'm like this, it will only annoy the master. It's understandable that he won't come."

After hearing this, what else could Madam Sun not understand?

This wretched woman has been rejected by Minister Zhai!

It’s really great!

She raised her hand to press the "nothing to do" sign inside her clothes, lowered her head to conceal the triumphant look in her eyes.

"Sister," Fifth Aunt said solemnly, taking Madam Sun's hand. "I called you here today for this very reason."

“Now that I have fallen out of favor, I cannot ignore the future of the Sun family. Although our Sun family is extremely wealthy, if we lose the support of the Minister’s mansion, our status will plummet. The only solution now is to invite my sister into the mansion…”

Madam Sun was overjoyed and said impatiently, "That's the right way to think! But..."

She rolled her eyes, somewhat suspicious. "Last time I mentioned this to my sister, she looked very unwilling. Why is she like this now..."

What if she changes her mind again?

She didn't believe that this bitch would be so kind as to abandon the honor of the Minister's mansion and help her.

Fifth Aunt stared at her, then turned her gaze to a certain spot in the room, her expression solemn. "Sister, rest assured, I am tired of the infighting in the inner quarters and will not become an obstacle for you."

Following her gaze, Madam Sun saw a Buddhist altar prominently displayed in the corner of the room.

She was somewhat surprised, but quickly figured it out. It must be that the array within the luck-changing bracelet was too powerful, wearing down this bitch's spirit!

Alright! Let's see what she has to offer now!

She forced a smile and said, "Since you are so devoted to Buddhism, I will not try to persuade you. As the eldest daughter of the Sun family, I should consider the future of the Sun family."

A concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter; she should recognize her place. The glory and wealth of this Minister's mansion should rightfully be enjoyed by her!

So what if she's a concubine?

Once the title of the noble concubine of the Minister's mansion gets out, isn't she much better than the wives of those impoverished families?

Besides, the mistress of the Minister's mansion died early. With her looks and skills, wouldn't she be able to fool the Minister completely?

Then she will be promoted to the position of principal wife, and she will be the rightful wife of the Minister!

She raised her hand to adjust her hair, looking so energetic that she seemed to already be the mistress of the Minister's mansion.

"Sister, have you really thought this through? With so many concubines in the inner quarters, life ahead may not be easy."

Madam Sun scoffed, her heart filled with disdain.

Do you think everyone is as soft-hearted as you?

She glanced at Fifth Aunt and said with a smirk, "Sister, don't worry, I have my own methods."

Fifth Aunt nodded, "With your looks and figure, it's only a matter of time before you win the master's favor, and everything will naturally go smoothly for you in the future."

She remembered the second young lady's instructions perfectly and tried her best to flatter her to death.

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun couldn't hide her smugness.

"But..." Fifth Aunt glanced at Madam Sun from head to toe, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Madam Sun felt uneasy under her gaze and asked urgently, "But what?"

"But the master prefers a simpler style of dress. Although you look beautiful like this, it doesn't suit his taste. I'm afraid it won't work."

In Madam Sun's eyes, he was ambitious.

"What's so difficult about that? Just give me some clean clothes to change into."

“Sister is right, that’s exactly what I was thinking too. Also, you need to take a bath, it won’t do if you have the smell of perfume on you. I’ll have the maid prepare some flower juice for you to add to the bathwater. The resulting fragrance will be light and natural, which should please Master.”

Madam Sun finally took her younger sister seriously.

I never expected that someone who looks so serious on the surface would have so many tricks up her sleeve. I underestimated her before.

"Just do as you say."

Fifth Aunt's dowry maid glanced at her quickly, then immediately lowered her head.

Cursing in my heart.

The concubine is much prettier than this Madam Sun, and has a gentler personality.

Madam Sun is getting on in years; wrinkles have appeared around her eyes.

If she were the master, she would also choose a concubine and wouldn't even glance at Madam Sun.

But Madam Sun seemed completely unaware of this, and every time she came to the Minister's residence, she always dressed up in her finest attire.

This outfit might be considered quite beautiful and radiant on a young woman, but for Madam Sun, who is already this age, to dress like this is a bit... embarrassing to talk about.

Just as he was thinking, he was suddenly awakened by Madam Sun's voice.

"You shameless hussy, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you for ages and you still won't answer."

Madam Sun was somewhat disdainful.

The servants raised by this illegitimate daughter are utterly unruly. The master is still speaking, and they dare to daydream.

"Ah, does Madam have something to say?"

She shouted, "Hurry up and prepare some bathwater!"

The maid glanced at the fifth concubine, saw her nod, said "Yes," and then took her leave.

Madam Sun looked at Fifth Concubine and said, "How do you usually discipline your servants, sister? In my opinion, those who are not to your liking should be sold off as soon as possible, so they won't be an eyesore here."

"Such a small matter is none of your concern, sister. The important matter is more important."

Madam Sun nodded, then leaned closer and said, "Sister, will the master really come to your place today?"

Fifth Aunt nodded, "Second Miss went to invite him, so Master will definitely come. But even if Master comes, we'll still have to rely on you, Sister."

"Second Miss? Is that the girl who was switched at birth? She's just a country bumpkin. Do you think the master would listen to her?" Madam Sun looked disdainful.

Fifth Aunt's eyes turned cold.

"Sister, please be careful with your words. The Second Miss is now the legitimate legitimate daughter of the household. There is no mistress in the mansion, so she is naturally the most respected among the women."

Madam Sun scoffed, "She's just a little girl, what trouble can she cause? Look at how nervous you are."

It's really useless.

He actually let a village girl trample on him.

The reason why Minister Zhai is now willing to listen to her is simply because he feels somewhat indebted to her.

In the long run, nothing compares to whispering in someone's ear.

If she were to enter the manor, she certainly wouldn't care about the Second Miss's feelings.

In the future, she will be in charge of the entire Minister's residence!
