The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

Wang had always been wary of Xue Jinhua, and now after hearing what her sister said, the balance in her heart gradually tilted. She frowned and fell into deep thought, as if weighing the pros and cons.

They grew up together and believed that they had a deep bond as sisters. She believed that her sister would not easily deceive her, so when her sister said those words, her doubts gradually dissipated and she began to think seriously.

Seeing that Wang seemed a little shaken, Mrs. Zhou struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Okay, my dear sister, how could I harm you as your elder sister? Think about it carefully, who is your blood relative? Who is the closest to you?" Her tone was full of concern and sincerity, hoping to touch Wang's heart.

Yes, my own sister is related to me by blood, and this kind of kinship cannot be severed.

Although Xue Jinhua lived under the same roof with her, they were not related by blood after all, so there was always some estrangement between them. Thinking of this, Wang couldn't help feeling a little guilty, thinking that her previous thinking was too narrow-minded.

Wang had already turned against her sister and completely believed in her sister. She said firmly: "Sister, of course I believe in you." Her eyes revealed her trust and dependence on her sister.

The elder sister nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Just believe it! This way, we sisters can work together to face future difficulties." She knew that only with Wang's support could she better realize her plan.

Old Mrs. Zhou felt relieved. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the Zhao family, she must first eliminate Xue Jinhua and then take her dowry for herself.

Old Madam Zhou rolled her eyes and came up with a plan. "Oh, by the way, sister, you said before that the Zhao family's money is managed by Xue Jinhua. If you want it, what should you do?"

"She usually takes care of all the expenses of the family. As for me, I don't spend much money and I have never asked her for money."

Mrs. Zhou's mouth twitched. She looked at her simple and honest sister and said angrily, "No wonder you were controlled by Xue Jinhua. How could you be so stupid? Why don't you take this opportunity to ask her for more money so that you can save some private money for yourself?"

"This... after all, we are a family, and the Zhao family's assets are almost gone. How can I have the nerve to ask her?"

"You treat her as a family member, but does she treat you as a family member?" Old Madam Zhou continued to fan the flames. "Besides, if she said that the Zhao family's assets were gone, did she really mean that the assets were gone? Did you really believe it?"

Wang was shocked, "Sister, what do you mean...?"

"Her tactics are so clever, there's no guarantee that she won't take the Zhao family's assets for herself. You have to make her spit it out quickly and save some money for yourself. When you are old and weak in the future, you don't have to depend on others, right?"

This undoubtedly touched Wang's sore spot. Last time, she had already lost all her dowry for Yuxuan's future.

Now she was so short of money that she dared not even go out, let alone buy a decent piece of jewelry. If she asked Xue Jinhua for it every time, she really couldn't bring herself to do that.

"What should I do?" Wang had no doubt about her sister. "Xue Jinhua is like a stubborn stone. She won't change no matter what I do. I am totally helpless."

A sly light flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes. "If it doesn't work openly, then let's do it secretly. Sister, just listen to me."

.........

Xue Jinhua returned to the room and called Yinghua.

"Go and give the chief a message, and tell him the truth about what happened today."

Sakura's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she was full of admiration for her young lady. "Miss, your move is really brilliant. Let the head of the clan come forward to persuade the old lady. She will definitely listen to you."

"Whether she listens or not is irrelevant. The key is that she has been too idle recently. We have to find something for her to do, right?"

Xue Jinhua walked to the table, wrote a letter, and handed it to her, "Send someone to deliver this letter to the eldest aunt. When my aunt comes, she will definitely come to visit."

Ever since the incident with Xue Qing'er, she has never returned to the Zhao family, and there has not even been any news from her.

Yes, her nominal daughter-in-law did such a shameful thing with her own elder brother, and her nominal grandson almost became a nephew... With such a complicated relationship, how could she have the mood to come back?

Fortunately, the final result was that the bloodlines were not mixed.

But just this one thing was enough to make her a laughing stock in Kyoto...

When Zhao Yufei received the letter, he hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.

The next day, she returned to her parents' home.

When she saw Xue Jinhua again, her expression was a little unnatural. "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. The prince has been very angry recently, and I really can't spare the time to go home to visit him."

"Big sister, you don't need to say anything. I understand how you feel. I am the one who should say sorry."

"Sister-in-law, you are not being unfair to me. You are clearly a victim. Who could have expected that under the handsome appearance of my brother, he could do such a shameless thing!" Zhao Yufei did not transfer her anger to Xue Jinhua. On the contrary... She believed that Xue Jinhua must have been kept in the dark for her brother to do such a dirty thing.

It would be fine if his elder brother had an ordinary mistress, at most his reputation would be damaged, but he actually had an affair with Xue Qing'er. This behavior was simply a wanton trampling on the reputation of Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Zhao family.

That would be fine, but my mother knew about this and has been covering up for my eldest brother. She is simply aiding and abetting the evil!

"When the prince learned about this, he was furious and strictly forbade me to return to my mother's home. Unfortunately, Brother Fan is his grandson, so the prince's anger subsided after a while. I was able to return this time because of my desperate pleading."

Seeing her pale face and severely swollen cheeks, Xue Jinhua knew that the situation was probably more complicated than she said.

"By the way, I heard you say that my aunt is here."

After some pleasantries, Zhao Yufei finally got to the point.

"yes………"

"Hey, Yufei is back?"

Before Xue Jinhua finished her words, the resonant voice of Old Lady Zhou rang out.

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Old Lady Zhou and Wang coming side by side. Their faces were as rosy as ripe apples and they looked in very good spirits.

"Aunt." No matter what, she is the elder, so Zhao Yufei should be the first to pay his respects.

"I just told your mother that it was not easy for me to come to Kyoto, and I was looking forward to reuniting with your family while I was here. Now that you are back, I wonder if Yuting can come back to see her aunt."

Zhao Yufei frowned slightly. She was not at home when Zhao Yuting got married.

First, the prince was extremely angry about the Zhao family's scandal, and second, what Zhao Yuting did was truly disgraceful.

Although she married into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, she was just a concubine after all, and the Prince Zhuang's Mansion could not afford to lose such a person.

"I got married not long ago, and I'm afraid I don't have the time to visit you." Zhao Yufei knew very well the agreement between Zhao Yuting and Xue Jinhua, so she would definitely not help them speak at this moment.

"Oh, so that's the case..." Old Mrs. Zhou's face was full of disappointment, "I just told your mother that Yu Ting...she has been married for some time and she really misses your sister."

The cold winter had just passed and the air was a little warmer, but after Old Lady Zhou said this... the whole scene seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Zhao Yufei was very embarrassed. He quickly glanced at Xue Jinhua, but saw that she lowered her head and eyebrows, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

Old Madam Zhou pretended not to see it and continued, "Yufei, you are back today. How about this? We take this opportunity to go to your house and bring your sister over. This will also help your mother to get rid of her worries. You can also show your filial piety to your mother. What do you think?"

"This..." Zhao Yufei hesitated for a moment, but finally did not agree. "Although I am the mistress of Prince Zhuang's mansion, I am just a married girl after all. It is difficult for me to make decisions on this family's affairs. Aunt, please ask my eldest sister-in-law. She is the mistress of our mansion."

If you want to seek your own death, then go there by yourself and don't involve me.
