She didn’t care whether Yun Jinnian actually had the ability; what concerned her was that Yun Jinnian had been picked up by the Phoenix Carriage to enter the Imperial Palace— that was the Empress’s Phoenix Carriage.
Throughout history, how many have ridden in the Empress’s Phoenix Carriage? And she alone at that, even the Zhuangyong Marquis Residence probably didn’t have many who could claim such an honor.
Mrs. Hu remained silent.
However, she thought that she should send a ssage back to her master, as the fate of this Fourth Miss Yun was deviating more and more from the path they had set out for her, avoiding every cunning trap she had laid.
After several instigations, the old madam seed to be poised to stand down.
This would not do, they couldn’t push the young miss to the front lines.
"Miss, don’t be anxious, what place is the Imperial Palace? It’s a place where people devour each other, she’s just a young girl who hasn’t seen much of the world, once there, she’s nothing but fish at to them. Just watch, she won’t be able to be arrogant for many days!"
"But I heard she went to find an antidote for His Majesty, and now that she’s back, she must have found the antidote. Hmph, so much for sisterly affection, I asked her several tis, and she didn’t tell . These past days have been even worse, every ti I went to Niannian Garden, she was asleep and refused to see . She’s two-faced, utterly detestable!" Xu Xinmo growled towards the end, grinding her teeth.
She wished she could tear Yun Jinnian apart and take her place.
And thinking of Yun Jinnian spending so much silver on her shopping today, she was filled with even more jealousy.
Mrs. Hu sighed softly.
Xu Xinmo had been spoiled rotten by the old madam.
She should have been dignified and magnanimous, but instead, she was petty, fixated on petty inner chamber struggles instead of thinking of greater matters.
She couldn’t argue, nor could she control her.
"Why is the miss in such a hurry? Isn’t the old madam still here? No matter how impressive soone is, after coming back, they still have to respectfully kowtow to the old madam, their grandmother, and attend to her at dawn and dusk every day!"
At these words, Xu Xinmo imdiately hatched a plan in her heart.
These past days, her maternal grandmother had intentionally made the head of the household attend Cixin Academy at dawn and dusk daily, but later, for so reason, she had given up on that idea.
If she could bring it up again, she would be the future Empress after all, and her grandmother would definitely listen to her, wouldn’t she?
"Nanny, quickly find so herbs to send to the kitchen to stew chicken soup, I’ll bring it to grandmother soon!"
She rembered wanting to return to the Xu Family and had sent a ssage back for soone to co fetch her, but the reply from the Xu Family was that the old lady was unwell, and everyone else was tending to her illness, with no one free to co for her.
It had been a considerable embarrassnt for her.
When she becos Empress one day, the Xu Family will be the first she won’t spare.
Mrs. Hu smiled.
Although Xu Xinmo was a bit foolish, she wasn’t beyond hope.
Smiling, she obliged and went to carry out the orders.
Of course, Mrs. He was also filled with envy in the residence.
But this ti Mrs. He didn’t do anything, because she knew that soone would inevitably lose their patience and act out, so all she had to do was sit back and watch how things unfolded.
The favored Concubine Xi had been very arrogant lately, completely disregarding Concubine Lian and Concubine Rou, let alone the confined and repentant Concubine Su and Concubine Hua.
Even Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing had suffered under her hands, but they didn’t dare complain to anyone, knowing that complaints would be futile. They were concubines, nobody would care about their life or death.
The three sisters, however, had banded together exceptionally well, supporting each other.
"Concubine, Concubine Xi is getting more and more out of control, won’t you intervene?" The maid Pancai asked Concubine Lian.
Concubine Lian glanced at Pancai, sighed, and said, "Intervene? How do I intervene? She’s a concubine, so am I. Though I’ve given birth to two children for the second master, she was more favored than . Besides, I heard that the second master bought her a house outside and freed her from slavery; she will be a proper concubine. I gave birth to two children for the second master, and he never showed such favor, and even Mother Su doesn’t bother with anymore..."
