Chapter 9: Impending Misfortune

Rulan was thinking, if a man suddenly couldn’t perform during the act, wouldn’t he hate the woman who made him incapable?

Didn’t she love Wang Yuzhen deeply? She was so in love that she wanted to demote her mistress to a concubine and even divorce her. Then let her see how deep their love truly was, whether it was truly stronger than gold.

An Xiuyuan had no idea about his impending misfortune. At this moment, he was having dinner with Wang Yuzhen and their son.

Wang Yuzhen only ate a few bites before she stopped, her face filled with worry as she looked at An Xiuyuan. “Brother Xiuyuan, do you think my aunt will succeed?”

Hearing this, An Xiuyuan laughed and said, “Don’t worry, as long as my mother wants something, there’s nothing she can’t do. Otherwise, why do you think this mansion doesn’t even have a single concubine? It’s all thanks to my mother.”

“But…”

Although she said this, Wang Yuzhen was still worried. She felt that Yunzhi didn’t seem like someone who would easily give up. If the old lady faced her, it was hard to say whether she would win.

If the old lady lost, and Yunzhi wasn’t willing to give up the position of the Marquess, what would she do? Would she just be An Xiuyuan’s mistress without any status?

That wouldn’t do. The reason she came back with him wasn’t to be his mistress. She wanted both An Xiuyuan and the Ding Yuan Marquis’ Mansion.

Of course, if possible, she also wanted Yunzhi’s dowry. Don’t say she loved money, she was an orphan after all. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was to live without money.

“Zhen’er, don’t worry, you have to believe in your mother. Besides, even if my mother fails, don’t you have me? I’ll just divorce her. Anyway, the position of the Marquess will be yours, and only yours.”

“Brother Xiuyuan, I believe in you. You’ve never let me down since I was a child.”

“Good to know.” An Xiuyuan smiled and pinched Wang Yuzhen’s nose, his face full of affection.

Little An Ming, seeing his parents’ intimacy, smiled and quickly finished his food before leaving under the pretense of going to bed.

He decided to sleep alone tonight to give his parents a chance to cultivate their relationship.

In Fangfei Courtyard, after dinner, Yunzhi strolled around the garden to digest her food before instructing Rumei, “Go and call Ruju and Ruzhu over.”

“Yes!” Rumei responded and went to deliver the message.

Mei, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum are Yunzhi’s four main maids and also her confidants. He was the one who had grown up with her since she was a child. The four of them knew her identity and everything she had done. The difference is that each of the four people has their own abilities, so the division of labor is different. Ruju is in charge of her business outside, while Ruzhu is in charge of the intelligence in the dark building.

The reason she called them today was to prepare for leaving the Marquis’ Mansion.

Although she never planned to spend her life in the Marquis’ Mansion, according to her plan, even if she were to leave, it would be a year later. But it seemed that plans were always subject to change. As soon as An Xiuyuan found Wang Yuzhen, he couldn’t wait to have her step down and give way.

To be honest, she wasn’t interested in the title of Marquess. As the Dark Emperor, she had power, influence, and money. What was the point of being confined to one place?

Not long after Rumei delivered the message, Ruju and Ruzhu arrived in front of Yunzhi.

“This subordinate greets the master.” After saluting Yunzhi, the two smiled and asked, “What instructions does the master have for us at this time?”
