May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

Aunt Wan trembled: "Madam, you...you're going to do something to Madam..."

Perhaps out of fear, Aunt Wan did not continue speaking.

Since things had come to this point, Xie Qianjiao didn't hide anything and nodded.

"No, Madam Xie..."

Hearing her address, Xie Qianjiao's face suddenly darkened.

When Wen Yuanshu is mentioned, she becomes Madam Xie, which shows that Aunt Wan is biased towards Wen Yuanshu.

Xie Qianjiao took a deep breath: "Awan, you need to think this through. Your daughter has just been born, and there will be many places where you'll need money in the future."

However, no matter what threats she made, Aunt Wan, though afraid, refused to nod again.

Xie Qianjiao had no choice but to tell Caiwei to send the person away casually.

"I hadn't realized before that Aunt Wan was so loyal to Wen Yuanshu!"

Xie Qianjiao was completely baffled: "No, then why did she agree so readily last time?"

Because last time we didn't say we were going to deal with Wen Yuanshu.

Caiwei thought to herself, then quickly said, "It's alright, Madam. Anyway, the Marquis's harem is so lively now. If Aunt Wan is useless, we can just choose someone else."

Xie Qianjiao nodded and sneered, "If she tries to get close to us again in the future, it won't be so easy!"

Now, the ledgers are in her hands!

Don't you all have to rely on her to distribute the winter clothes and charcoal?

Since Aunt Wan is unwilling to serve her, don't blame her for being ruthless!

"Go buy some things and share them with the other concubines."

"Yes."

In the past few days, undercurrents have been swirling in the backyard of the Marquis's mansion, which Wen Yuanshu has witnessed, yet she remains unmoved.

Wen Yuanshu wasn't in a hurry, but Chunhua was already anxious: "Madam, Miss Xie is trying to target you!"

Upon hearing this, a murderous glint flashed in Yun Zhi's eyes: "I'll go and kill her!"

Wen Yuanshu pressed her temples: "...It's not that bad."

"Although she came for me, the current situation is in our favor."

Chunhua couldn't help but worry: "What benefit is there! Oh, Madam, if they really manage to gather all their men, not only will we be in trouble, but Aunt Baitong will also be in trouble!"

“You forgot, the Marquis is about to go to the Eastern Suburbs Camp,” Wen Yuanshu reminded him. “If the Marquis really has contact with the spies, then Baitong will definitely have something to show for it when the Marquis returns from the Eastern Suburbs Camp.”

"If only Bai Tong is by the Marquis's side, and the water in this pond is crystal clear, how are we supposed to catch fish?"

Upon hearing this, Chunhua suddenly realized: "So, Madam, you want to let Miss Xie's people harass the Marquis and muddy the waters, making it easier for Aunt Baitong to make her move?"

"clever."

This is what it means to go with the flow.

After Chunhua explained it to her, Yunzhi suddenly understood.

Then, she looked at Wen Yuanshu with a complicated expression.

The Wen family's backyard is clean and tidy, without so many messy things. How could Wen Yuanshu be so knowledgeable about the affairs of the inner quarters of the household, having grown up in such a place?

It's clear what kind of life she's been living these past two years.

Yun Zhi sighed heavily for no apparent reason, which made Wen Yuanshu and Chunhua turn their heads.

A few days later, Pei Zeyu finally got his wish and took a trip to the eastern suburban camp.

He only showed curiosity, going into every house he saw to take a look and ask a few questions. Wen Jing was very patient, answering every question Pei Zeyu asked. Pei Zeyu gained a lot from the trip and thanked him repeatedly before leaving.

During this time, Xie Qianjiao's money also paid off. In the backyard, a concubine put all her effort into getting close to Pei Zeyu. Pei Zeyu was greedy for novelty, and Bai Tong finally had a chance to catch her breath again.

However, for several days in a row, Pei Zeyu was with other women. Bai Tong couldn't stand it anymore. While Pei Zeyu was busy with something in the study, she took a bowl of nourishing soup over.

"My lord, I've come to bring you some soup." Bai Tong placed the soup bowl on the table, then went around to Pei Zeyu's side and massaged his shoulders.

"You're so thoughtful."

Pei Zeyu put down his pen, relaxed his body, and enjoyed Bai Tong's moderately strong massage.
