The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 533 What a bad luck
The wife of Marquis Wu'an sat upright on a brocade chair in the side hall, staring coldly at the dark face of Secretary Liu.

She wondered in her heart, could this sudden anger be caused by the incident involving Concubine Liu?

She waved her hand to signal the attendants to leave, and the huge side hall suddenly became so quiet that only the sound of the two people's breathing could be heard.

The wife of Marquis Wu'an opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was full of majesty: "Liu Zhongshu, what's wrong with you? You look so angry, do you want the whole mansion to know your dissatisfaction?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhongshu's eyes became even more furious. He paced in the hall with his hands behind his back, his tone full of resentment: "Madam, you pretend to be calm. Do you know that your words have put Liu and I in a difficult situation?"

The wife of Marquis Wu'an frowned and asked in confusion: "When did I say anything? What are you referring to?"

Liu Zhongshu stopped and looked into the eyes of the wife of Marquis Wu'an, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "You are still pretending? Why did you mention Xiao Wenyu when you entered the palace to chat with the queen? Do you know that this matter has put the queen in a difficult situation, and she was even reprimanded by the emperor and demoted from a concubine to a concubine. And I was also implicated and demoted because of this. Isn't all this caused by you?"

Upon hearing this, the wife of Marquis Wu'an was shocked and felt extremely wronged: "When did I mention Xiao Wenyu? I was just chatting with the queen and accidentally mentioned some old stories of the Lingnan Palace. Is this wrong?"

Liu Zhongshu sneered: "Chatting? Humph, your casual chat with the queen has caused a stir in the entire harem. Do you know that your unintentional words have put the queen in an irretrievable situation."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an took a deep breath and tried to calm her anger. She explained, "I didn't do it on purpose. When I entered the palace that day, I was going to tell Her Majesty about Liu Banruo. After the Lingnan Rebellion, the Emperor conferred the title of Liu Lanshi's granddaughter as Concubine Liu, and she proposed to recognize me and the Marquis as her foster parents. I think Liu Banruo is a smart girl, and with a background of a famous grandfather, she will be able to support Her Majesty and help the Fifth Prince when she enters the palace in the future. I just wanted Her Majesty to be prepared in advance."

After hearing this explanation, Liu Zhongshu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Even so, you shouldn't mention Xiao Wenyu. In the current situation, the boundary between the former court and the harem is becoming increasingly blurred. If you are not careful, you will fall into an irretrievable situation. As the wife of the Marquis, you should understand this principle even more."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an sighed, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes: "How could I not know that? It's just that the queen has not lived a happy life in the palace these years. Although she was named a concubine and gave birth to the fifth prince, the emperor's favor for her has long since disappeared. There are endless new people in the harem, and she is naturally anxious. I just thought that maybe I could share some of her worries."

Liu Zhongshu still believed what the wife of Marquis Wu'an said because that was what Concubine Liu was like.

He sighed helplessly, "How can you interfere in the affairs of the court? Now I am innocently implicated, it is really helpless."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an was surprised: "How could this matter affect you? Even if the emperor were to hold someone accountable, it would not be your turn."

Liu Zhongshu said helplessly, "I learned about Xiao Wenyu's affairs yesterday. My father ordered me to go to the palace to impeach him, accusing him of colluding with the rebel king. Unexpectedly, the queen mentioned it before me. It's really unlucky."
