The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 525: Planning

Zhao Songnuan came to visit with the wife of Marquis Wu'an, and her eyes revealed her concern for Concubine Liu.

Zhao Songnuan walked forward with a smile on her face, and joked, "Aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be getting younger. Have you discovered any secret to maintaining your beauty? Share it with your niece."

Concubine Liu has always been quite proud of her skin care methods. After hearing what Zhao Songnuan said, she couldn't help but chuckle, "My child, I didn't put on any perfume powder or rouge today. I just used some honey cream to moisturize my skin."

Zhao Songnuan pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes: "Really? Auntie doesn't even use any powder or rouge, her skin is so well maintained!"

She turned around and looked at the wife of Wu'an Marquis, and teased, "Mother, you have to learn from your aunt. Look at your face, it becomes dry and flaky in autumn and winter. I'll go to a rouge shop owned by Shen Jingdong and buy you some cream later."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an did not look well today. Although she tried hard to cover her wrinkles with makeup, she still looked haggard.

Ever since he adopted Liu Banruo as his adopted daughter, Marquis Wu'an has been treating her coldly. Adding on the fact that she had to settle accounts and return Mu Yihan's wealth recently, she was very upset and her expression became even uglier.

Concubine Liu glanced at the face of Marquis Wu'an's wife, feeling somewhat proud. She said calmly, "Your mother is busy with trivial matters in the mansion all day long, so naturally she has no time to take care of her appearance. Unlike me, I have nothing to do every day, so I spend all my time thinking about this face."

Mrs. Wu'an Hou had long been accustomed to Concubine Liu's weirdness, and she did not intend to entangle herself any more. She said directly: "I came here today to tell you something. The emperor recently appointed Liu Lanshi's granddaughter as Concubine Liu and let her live in our mansion. The marquis said that Liu Lanshi was a famous scholar in Lingnan and the emperor appreciated him very much. Because Concubine Liu had no one to rely on in the capital, the emperor adopted her as his adopted daughter so that she can keep you company in the palace in the future."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu sneered, "There's no need for you to keep me company. There are already enough sisters in this palace."

Madam Wu'an Marquis didn't care about her attitude. She lowered her voice and said, "Liu Banruo is not a simple person. If you can make good use of her, it will definitely benefit you. You are from the Liu family. Although you are a concubine in the palace, your glory can also bring benefits to the family. I won't harm you. After Liu Banruo enters the palace, you should take her with you more. She has a piece of news now, which I can tell you. As for whether to tell the emperor, you can decide for yourself."

Concubine Liu's eyes flickered, but on the surface she still didn't seem to care: "Go ahead."

Madam Wu'an looked around and confirmed that no one was around before she whispered, "This time Xiao Yunxi led the troops to Lingnan, and her father Xiao Wenyu also went with him. Moreover, Xiao Wenyu did not get the emperor's order, he left the capital without permission to follow the army."

Concubine Liu was startled when she heard this: "Censor Xiao? Did he leave the capital without permission to join the army?"

Madam Wu'an Marquis nodded and said, "Yes, this is exactly the news that Liu Prajna brought. I think this news may be a good opportunity for you, Madam."

Concubine Liu was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the meaning of this news.

She knew that the wife of Marquis Wu'an would never easily reveal unimportant information, and this news about Xiao Wenyu must have some deep meaning.

She decided to make good use of this opportunity and plan for her future.
