Chapter 52: Seeking Yunzhi

She could roughly guess what An Xiuyuan was thinking. He probably felt that Dong Li Lu Cang didn’t have enough power, or that he wouldn’t really let him lose his title.

After all, his title had been passed down from his ancestors in the An family, and he hadn’t committed any major crimes. How could the Emperor revoke it simply based on the Regent King’s words?

But the facts slapped him hard in the face, making him wonder if he was dreaming. How could his title be gone in the blink of an eye?

Wang and Wang Yuzhen couldn’t believe it either. Wang fainted directly, while Wang Yuzhen didn’t faint, but her face was pale. Moreover, she was somewhat afraid.

This title was lost because of her, so she was afraid that An Xiuyuan would settle the score later.

If, at that time, when An Xiuyuan preferred her over his title, she was overjoyed and proud. Then now, when An Xiuyuan had truly lost his title, she was terrified and scared.

It was a title, originally meant to be passed down to her son. But now, it was lost because of her. Even if An Xiuyuan didn’t hate her, what about her son? Wouldn’t he hate her when he grew up?

After all, the reason she forced An Xiuyuan to marry her was because of the wealth and title of the Marquis’s Mansion.

Now, she was indeed An Xiuyuan’s wife, but no longer a First-Rank Marquis’s wife, but the wife of a Sixth-Rank official.

The disparity made Wang Yuzhen almost gasp for breath.

No, she couldn’t panic. She had to find a way to get the title back. Otherwise, she would truly become a sinner of the An family for life.

Wang Yuzhen forced herself to calm down, thinking about how to get the An family’s title back.

Initially, the stripping of the title was a matter of a single word from the Regent King, and it was because of Yunzhi. So, if she went to plead with Yunzhi now, asking her to show mercy for old times’ sake, she wondered if it would work.

Whether it worked or not, she had to try.

Thinking this, Wang Yuzhen immediately tidied herself up and had someone send her to Yunzhi’s villa.

“Who says they want to see me?” Yunzhi looked at the old woman who came to deliver the message in disbelief and asked, “Did the sun rise in the west today?”

“Reporting to Miss, it’s An Xiuyuan’s wife, Wang, who wishes to see you.”

“Miss, what does she want?” Rulan frowned in puzzlement. They had no connection with the An family. Coming to see the Miss at this time, she wouldn’t be here to show off her marriage to An Xiuyuan, would she?

As for Rumei, upon hearing Rulan’s words, she looked at her with a look of disdain and said, “Rulan, where’s your brain?”

“Sister Rumei, don’t personally attack me like that. I just couldn’t think of it for a moment.”

“You just mentioned the An family’s title being revoked. She’s most likely here because of that.”

“Ah, she wouldn’t be here to plead, would she?”

“Your brain’s working now?” Rumei laughed. Wang Yuzhen didn’t come sooner or later, but precisely after the An family’s title was revoked. It couldn’t be anything other than a plea.

Regardless, the Miss is the Regent Princess. The revocation of the An family’s title was a matter of a single word from the Regent King, so Wang Yuzhen naturally came to the Miss to plead.

“Miss, let’s ignore her. What a thing! Not only did she steal the Miss’s husband, but she also tried to humiliate the Miss that day. Now she knows to plead. It’s too late!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Let’s ignore her.” Yunzhi smiled and pinched Rulan’s nose, saying, “Send her away.”

“Mission accomplished.”
