Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

What Lv Zhi said at this moment was indeed true, but it was not the truth without reservation. If Lv Su really acted in this way, she would certainly be respected and even grateful by Gao Yao. However, at the same time, she would lose the path to promotion. The so-called upward space means that although Lv Su can be favored, she will never be able to become Gao Yao's main wife. When Gao Yao becomes king in the future, Lv Su will at most be a favored concubine.

This is the inevitable consequence of a damaged reputation. Unfortunately, things have come to this point, and Lu Zhi is helpless. She looked at Lu Su's appearance and could not help but angrily scolded: "Look at you! Don't worry, since my husband has done this, he will never really embarrass us. Now he puts us here just to see how we react. Besides, my husband has other important matters to deal with right now. If this matter is not properly resolved, we will be criticized in the future, which is not a good thing for my husband."

Listening to Lu Zhi's harsh rebuke, Lu Su finally came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. In stark contrast to Lu Zhi's calmness, Lu Su had been in a state of panic and restlessness since she was imprisoned. She was completely lost and had no idea how to deal with the predicament. At this moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked timidly, "Sister, how will my husband treat us in the end?"

In this matter, Lu Su knew that at this moment, he and Lu Zhi were already linked by fate and shared weal and woe, and there was no need to distinguish between them. Lu Zhi sighed softly, shook her head and said, "Sister, it's hard to say! Everything depends on my husband's mood. But in my opinion, he will probably ignore us for a while. As long as we do our own duties well, maybe the situation won't be too bad. But..." At this point, Lu Zhi paused, frowned slightly, and revealed a trace of worry, "I am actually more worried about Yu Shu."

Lu Zhi already knew Gao Yao's general attitude towards this matter. What she had to do next was for the two sisters to act cautiously. After all, in this matter, the two sisters stood on Gao Yao's side unwaveringly. Lu Su mentioned earlier that Gao Yao allowed the two sisters to meet only after Yu Shu's desperate pleading. This was indeed a big trouble in Lu Zhi's eyes.

"Yu Shu? What's wrong with her? Sister, do you mean that Yu Shu asked our husband to let us meet?" After hearing what Lu Zhi said, Lu Su was a little puzzled. For a moment, she didn't understand why Lu Zhi suddenly worried about Yu Shu.

In Lu Su's opinion, Yu Shu did not choose to kick someone when he was down, which was her duty. Now she was still helping him speak up. Although she was not grateful, in Lu Su's opinion, this was more like a gesture of goodwill. Yu Shu probably knew that Gao Yao would not embarrass them, so she took the initiative to take advantage of the situation.

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Now you and I are not in the mansion, and the war in the southern border has not yet ended. Who should be in charge of all the affairs in this mansion?" As soon as Lu Zhi finished speaking, Lu Su was stunned. After thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that Lu Zhi was referring to the person who was currently in charge of all matters in the backyard - Yu Shu.

Lu Zhi continued, "I actually hope that Yu Shu will speak ill of us sisters behind our backs. What my husband hates most is disharmony between his wives and concubines. No matter what mistakes we make, as long as Yu Shu takes the opportunity to add insult to injury and fan the flames, then from now on, there will be no place for her in this backyard. But Yu Shu did not act in this way. Instead, she helped us to speak well of us. This behavior will naturally make my husband look up to her, which will make it easier for her to manage the entire backyard smoothly."

After hearing this, Lu Su still seemed indifferent and responded: "Even if the situation is really as my sister said, there seems to be no need to worry too much. When my husband allows us to return home, the power to manage the backyard will surely be handed over to my sister. After all, my sister has been in charge of the backyard affairs for a long time." Lu Su always thought that this matter was insignificant and would not cause too much waves.

"You think things are too simple! Yu Shu is in charge of the backyard now. She can actually do it in one move - get rid of some people first, and then recruit a new group of people to the backyard. Moreover, she has a perfect reason, which is to use our father's affairs as a cover. Even if my husband knows about it, he probably won't ask any more questions. In this mansion, status is very important, and if you want to keep your status, you often have to rely on these servants!"

"More importantly, from now on, this backyard will no longer be controlled by you and me! The current situation is very different from before. We have been implicated because of our father's incident. No matter what my husband thinks in his heart, the change in power will definitely have a great impact on us. Originally, when we were outside, we had the support of our father and brother, and our status was naturally as stable as Mount Tai. But now that this has happened, I'm afraid we will no longer be able to find strong help outside. Those ladies who used to have a close relationship with us and were very good to us, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to interact as frequently as before in the future!"

When Lu Zhi mentioned these things, she felt helpless. The situation that she had carefully built was destroyed so easily. If she had hesitated when she made the decision, she would have died by now, and the impact on her future voice would be immeasurable.

"As for Yu Shu, she is just a foreigner after all. How could your husband take her to heart?" Listening to Lu Zhi's words, Lu Su on the side still firmly believed that Yu Shu was not worthy of competing with them.

"Unworthy? Look at the current southern border army. The Nanyue tribe accounts for at least one-third of the troops, and the number of Nanyue generals in the army is also increasing. Even if Shihua herself has no intention of competing too much, she is fully capable of supporting others. So, I would like to ask, will she choose to support Yu Shu, or you and me, my sister?" Lu Zhi's words hit Lu Su's heart like a heavy hammer.

Faced with such questioning, Lu Su was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to respond.

"As for Aisha, at first, my husband didn't take her seriously. But this time is different. It is obvious that my husband has an important mission and has entrusted her with something. If she can successfully complete the mission and return triumphantly, her status will surely rise. What's more, the southern border is adjacent to the Peacock Kingdom, which is her unique advantage."

"And Xiaoyue, although she was born in a poor family and has no outstanding qualities, she is deeply doted on by her husband. Whenever there are any new and rare things delivered in the mansion, they are always sent to Xiaoyue first, much faster than to us. Doesn't this situation make people feel puzzled?

"Speaking of Yu Shu, although she is a foreigner, she is the princess of Tuan Kingdom after all, and has been carefully cultivated since she was young. My husband also dotes on her. If the incident with my father had not happened, you and I would not have to worry about the above. However, now that things have come to this, such a sudden change has occurred. So how many people under my husband's command will be willing to support us sisters in the future?"

After hearing what Lu Zhi said, Lu Su's expression changed several times. Finally, he realized the seriousness of the situation and no longer dared to take it lightly.

"Sister, what measures should we take now?" At this moment, Lu Su finally realized the seriousness of the problem and asked Lu Zhi with a worried look on her face. Her originally pretty face was now filled with worry and confusion.

Lu Zhi, who had been observing Lu Su's reaction, finally felt a little satisfied when she saw her sister like this. She nodded slightly, indicating her approval of Lu Su's attitude at the moment, and then said without hesitation: "Give up power!" When these two words came out of Lu Zhi's mouth, they seemed to carry an unquestionable decisive force.

Hearing Lu Zhi's answer, Lu Su couldn't help but be slightly startled, obviously a little surprised by this answer. She stared at Lu Zhi with wide eyes, and repeated in disbelief: "Give up power?" If it was the previous Lu Su, there would be no obsession with power in her eyes, but Lu Su at this time has changed a lot, and Lu Su didn't expect Lu Zhi to be able to make such a decision so decisively.

However, Lu Zhi was not shaken by Lu Su's surprise. She nodded firmly and further explained: "That's right, and we must not only give up power, but also take the initiative to give it up. Now that something like this has happened, if we hold on to power tightly, it will become a source of trouble that may explode at any time. Therefore, we must not only give it up, but also give it up actively and without hesitation."

Hearing this, Lu Su nodded thoughtfully, but soon as if she suddenly realized something, she raised her head and asked cautiously: "Sister, do you mean... that you want to do something about this matter?" Perhaps because she guessed Lu Zhi's thoughts, Lu Su lowered her voice unconsciously while speaking.

But Lu Zhi shook her head gently, denying Lu Su's guess. She warned solemnly: "No! If we really do something wrong, with your wisdom and insight, you will definitely be able to detect the clues. Therefore, the so-called cooperation is not playing tricks, but sincere assistance. Moreover, we must not only fully cooperate, but also leave as many things as possible to them. Do you understand what I mean?"
