Chapter 6: Just Die Already

“Mother, what about Zhen’er if Yun doesn’t leave?” An Xiuyuan was suddenly anxious.

“What do you mean what to do? You can make Zhen’er a co-wife. That way, Ming’er will also be a legitimate son. Of course, this is a last resort. If Yun can take a step back and voluntarily become a concubine, that would be the best.”

Wang Yuzhen was unhappy after hearing this and said to the old lady, “Aunt, even if I become a co-wife, I will always be overshadowed by Yun. What if she doesn’t like Ming’er and harms him?”

“She dare!”

“Aunt, there’s nothing she wouldn’t dare do. When a woman gets ruthless, she can do anything.”

Wang Yuzhen’s words weren’t an exaggeration, as such things had indeed happened. Therefore, the old lady, after hearing this, didn’t dare to gamble. But she was truly reluctant to part with the things Yunzhi had brought.

Thus, she said to her son, “Yuan’er, why don’t we just get rid of Yun? Since she’s unwilling to be a concubine, then let her die. In any case, we absolutely cannot let her take the things she brought into the Marquis’s Mansion with her.”

Wang Yuzhen was a little happy after hearing this. If Yunzhi could really die silently, Yunzhi’s dowry would be hers. At that time, she could do whatever she wanted with it.

As an orphan, she had nothing but herself. So, if someone gave her a dowry, that would be the best.

Therefore, she didn’t say a word about the old lady’s suggestion. She even thought about whether there was anything she could help with.

“Mother, that’s not good, right? What if Yun finds out?”

“What do you mean what if? The Marquis’s Mansion isn’t ruled by her. Even if she finds out, what’s the big deal? As long as she and her people can’t get out and no news can be spread, what’s there to be afraid of?”

“But…” An Xiuyuan wanted to say something else but was impatiently interrupted by the old lady, “Alright, don’t say anything. I think you can’t do this. If that’s the case, then this old woman will do it herself.”

“Alright, you just came back and must be tired. Go rest first. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

An Xiuyuan looked at the old lady, opened his mouth to say something, but ultimately didn’t say anything. He left the Ci’an Courtyard with Wang Yuzhen and their son.

As soon as An Xiuyuan and the others left, the old lady called over her trusted maid. The maid was none other than Jiang, the one who had been slapped by Yunzhi.

That slap made Jiang hate Yunzhi, so when she heard the old lady wanted Yunzhi’s life, she was immediately overjoyed and immediately said, “Old Lady, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this.”

“I trust you to handle things.” The old lady was confident in Jiang’s abilities. Jiang was her dowry maid, and from being a maid to now being a maid, she had entrusted her with many things.

Because she was reliable and capable, the old lady had always considered her a confidante. Almost everything was entrusted to her.

Therefore, Jiang knew almost everything about the old lady, both good and bad, and knew it all.

Fangfei Courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Yunzhi directly slumped onto the couch, looking carefree. She didn’t seem to be affected by today’s events, but her mind was racing.
