The concubine is a man, and the illegitimate son of a divine physician has a spatial ability.

"I come from the Zhang family of Luoyang, one of the four great families. Even if the truth comes out in the future, who would dare to touch me? My son is so promising, the pillar of the family, who would dare to touch me?"

Do you think I don't know Li's temperament and character? Otherwise, how could I have such a good grip on her all these years, given how much favor she's enjoyed?

My goal is to keep the Sixth Miss and Madam Li in check and balance each other. As long as they remain in the Yin residence, they will never escape my grasp.

Before Sixth Miss gets married, I will adopt her. The mother will leave, the daughter will remain; from now on, Sixth Miss will be my daughter. If she dares to harm me, dares to kill me, she will be branded a matricide, and the whole world will condemn her. Her spittle will drown her. Will she still be able to remain the Crown Prince's concubine then? Even His Highness the Crown Prince won't be able to protect her!

"So, Granny Liu, you must be quick and efficient in your work, and you can't make any mistakes," Zhang said sternly.

After hearing what Zhang said, Liu Mama's doubts were finally put to rest. She smiled and said, "Madam, you are so thoughtful and insightful. You have people under your thumb..."

Zhang elegantly picked up her teacup, took a small sip of the steaming tea, and then slowly set it down. A chilling sneer appeared on her lips: "Hmph, I do envy Li. That deep-seated jealousy is practically devouring my heart."

But at the same time, I also deeply resent her! Just because she easily obtained the treasure I had always dreamed of but could never have—my husband's doting love! At this point, Zhang couldn't help but tightly grip the handkerchief in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force.

My husband has always treated me with only respect. No matter how hard I try to please him, I can never win his heart.

This feeling is truly agonizing, as if I'm utterly insignificant. Perhaps I could be more lenient with the other women, turning a blind eye and letting them off the hook for now. But Li is different. Therefore, I will absolutely not let her go.

"And here comes the opportunity, her weakness, Sixth Sister..." Zhang's eyes flashed with hatred, as if she had made up her mind to get rid of Li at all costs.

Li and Granny Qi went up to the second floor. As soon as they reached the entrance of Bizhu Pavilion, they heard Yin Zijin's low screams. Li immediately realized something was wrong, opened the door, and rushed into the canopy bed despite the servants' attempts to stop her.

Seeing Yin Zijin lying on the bed, barely alive, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Then, looking at the golden bee that had been dead for some time on the ground, he felt an unbearable heartache.

Having spent many years in the brothel, how could Li not know the use of the golden bee? Li hurriedly went to the bedside, helped Yin Zijing tidy her clothes, and then hugged Yin Zijing and burst into tears. Overwhelmed with anger, she no longer cared about so-called etiquette and loudly questioned, "Why is this happening? No matter what, the sixth young lady is still the master's flesh and blood. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is still from the Yin family, one of the four great families."

Having been raised in seclusion for many years, she was pampered and spoiled. Why would such despicable and utterly filthy methods be used against the Sixth Miss?

"That's something only courtesans would use. The venom of those golden bees is extremely potent; how could it be used on Sixth Miss?"
