Seeing her two maids' mouths agape in disbelief, Wu Weiwei said helplessly, "What, did you think I would have an affair with him?"

“Aunt, I didn’t say that.”

"Auntie, you're not really going to go on a date with Prince Min, are you?"

Wanqiu said worriedly.

To be honest, I tried to dissuade my aunt from going to the meeting with Prince Min more than once today.

However, it seemed that her aunt had other plans, and she couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.

But now she actually wants to have a rendezvous with Prince Min at night. Is this blatant act of cuckolding the prince really okay?

Seeing Wanqiu's shocked face, Wu Weiwei tapped her on the head.

"Ouch!"

Wanqiu cried out in pain.

"What are you thinking? Dare to let me know?"

"Auntie, I, I..."

Wanqiu cried out that she was wronged.

Although she believed that her aunt would never have anything to do with that beastly Prince Min, she was afraid that she couldn't silence the gossip of the world.

"Listen to me, you two..."

Wu Weiwei leaned closer and repeated what she had just said to Min Wang.

Finally, she told the two of them about her plans for the evening.

Upon hearing their aunt's plan, the two of them chuckled mischievously.

Little Stone, who was driving the carriage outside, heard the cheerful laughter of the people inside, but he had no idea what they were so happy about.

As soon as Wu Weiwei stepped off the carriage, she saw a beautiful woman without makeup standing at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion.

Seeing Wu Weiwei and her two servants get off the carriage, she quickly took two steps forward.

"This servant Xiulan greets Aunt Wu."

They were surprised by the speed at which the guards around Prince Min acted, and also surprised that Prince Min had indeed released Xiulan as promised and even sent her to the Marquis's residence.

Wu Weiwei nodded to her, "Get up, come with me into Biyunting to talk."

Lingfu and Wanqiu were both puzzled by the new palace maid their master had taken in.

But their mistress always had her reasons for doing things, and they just had to listen to her.

Biyunting.

Wu Weiwei looked at the face in front of her that bore a slight resemblance to her own and said:

"Your name is Xiulan, right? Let me ask you, I had Prince Min send you to my side as a maid, do you hold a grudge against me?"

Xiulan lowered her eyes, a slight glint in them.

She said in a calm voice, "How could Xiulan dare to blame Aunt Wu? Xiulan will never forget Aunt Wu's great kindness and virtue."

Just now, when King Min had slain Qin Li and asked her to leave with him, she was still confused.

It wasn't until he told her that Prince Min was willing to release her, but the price was that she would have to serve as Concubine Wu, who served the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.

Although she was surprised, she still followed.

"Xiulan, do you know a man named Lin Fan?"

Wu Weiwei sighed inwardly.

In order to find this business whiz, she even used her beauty to bewitch Prince Min.

All she wanted was for Lin Fan to agree to be her behind-the-scenes schemer.

That's right. A few days ago, she asked Little Stone to keep an eye out for the dejected man waiting in the palace.

As it turned out, Little Stone actually got his wish.

This person is Lin Fan.

He told himself that if he could help him rescue his childhood sweetheart from Prince Min, he would agree to become her behind-the-scenes manager.

That's how Wu Weiwei went to meet King Min, used her beauty to seduce him, and proposed that Xiulan become her servant.

"Aunt Wu, do you know Brother Lin?"

Wu Weiwei nodded.

"It was Lin Fan who asked me to save you, so you don't need to thank me. Your brother Lin has already thanked you on your behalf."

Wu Weiwei stated frankly.

She finally understood how Prince Min used Lin Fan to make money in the novel.

So it turns out they used the people he cared about to bind him to their ranks, making him work like a slave to serve King Min alone, until finally squeezing out all his value.

Wu Weiwei scrutinized her for a moment.

Noticing her scrutiny, Xiulan immediately lowered her head and looked meek.

"Although Brother Lin has already thanked Xiulan on Xiulan's behalf, Xiulan still wants to thank Aunt Wu for her great kindness."

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed three times to Wu Weiwei.

Seeing her demeanor, Wu Weiwei did not stop her.

After she finished kowtowing, Lingfu quickly helped her up.

"Xiulan, from now on you will be a member of our Biyunting."

"Don't worry, as long as you remain loyal to your aunt, she guarantees she won't mistreat you."

Seeing this, Xiulan gave an awkward smile.

Seeing this, Wanqiu understood somewhat.

After a long while, Wu Weiwei finally spoke:

"Xiulan, you don't need to think so much. Although I said I would make you my maid, I don't actually mean you have to serve me."

"You can stay here in peace. I've already promised Lin Fan that I will release you from the manor once Prince Min has forgotten about you."

She was Lin Fan's sweetheart, his future capable money-making assistant; how could she dare let his beloved serve her?

Upon hearing Wu Weiwei's words, Xiulan smiled.

“Aunt Wu, since you saved me, you are Xiulan’s mistress.”

Even without Brother Lin's instructions, I would still be willing to serve you.

Upon hearing her words, Wu Weiwei smiled slightly.

Seeing her master's smile, Lingfu immediately understood what was going on.

"Alright, you've had a long day too."

"Lingfu, go and prepare a side room for Xiulan to rest in!"

After Lingfu led the people down, Wanqiu asked in confusion, "Auntie, is there something wrong with Xiulan?"

Wu Weiwei took a sip of tea, frowned, and said, "There's a big problem!"

"what?"

"But you don't need to worry about it. We'll discuss this when the young master returns."

It was around midnight.

Everyone in the courtyard has gone to rest.

Suddenly, the calls of cuckoos came from the alley behind Biyunting.

A short while later, the figure of a tall man appeared in the alley.

The man had only been inside a short while when he heard the sound of doors on both sides of the alley being locked from the inside, and he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He turned back to the locked door, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free of the iron chains on the outside.

Despite the sudden cold snap in early spring, he went out alone, and because he was excited, he wasn't dressed warmly enough.

Prince Min huddled in the corner, shivering from the cold.

Thinking about Wu Weiwei's seductive words earlier that day, his face turned ashen. He never expected that this bitch would dare to play him.

Inside the house.

Wu Weiwei kept yawning as she read the book.

She looked at Wanqiu, who was doing embroidery to the side, and asked, "What time is it?"

"Auntie, it's already past midnight."

"It must be quite cold at this hour, right?"

Wu Weiwei glanced outside.

Wanqiu asked worriedly, "Aunt, Prince Min has been freezing outside for two hours. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"

"What are you worried about? Since I dared to do this, I'm not afraid of his retaliation."

Wanqiu shook her head.

Auntie's plan is good, but it's too audacious.

You have to understand that Prince Min is, after all, the emperor's own son. You can't be too afraid of the worst-case scenario.

Now that the Crown Prince is not in the capital, what will happen to their concubine if Prince Min really comes to settle accounts?
