The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 534 Palace Scheming

Late at night, the lights in Marquis Wu'an's mansion were brightly on. Marquis Wu'an's wife frowned, with unspeakable anger surging in her heart.

Xiao Yunxi, this name is now like a sharp sword in her heart, piercing her already restless heart.

Xiao Yunxi actually brought Xiao Wenyu to the palace to apologize. This move was really beyond her expectations.

She had thought that based on Xiao Wenyu's guilt, the emperor would punish him severely, but who knew that Xiao Yunxi could escape danger and even turn the tables.

Nan Xuan and Lin Dalang pleaded for her in the court, and the emperor naturally gave her a way out. However, this way out was like walking on thin ice for the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Concubine Liu.

She couldn't help but sneer. This Xiao Yunxi was indeed a man of deep scheming and clever means.

However, what made her even more angry was that the emperor actually took his anger out on the Liu family.

This was originally the Xiao family's fault, but the Liu family had to bear this unprovoked disaster.

She felt mixed emotions, jealousy towards Xiao Yunxi and disappointment towards the emperor.

After learning all this, Liu Zhongshu was also surprised. He asked curiously, "How could Liu Banruo, a little-known woman, recognize the Marquis as her adoptive father? There must be something fishy about this."

The wife of Marquis Wu'an smiled faintly and said, "She has no one to rely on in the capital. Even if she has a grandfather, he is far away in Lingnan and cannot reach her. She is doing this just to find a backer in the palace."

"It seems that Liu Banruo is also a scheming woman." Liu Zhongshu sighed.

"So what if she is scheming? How can you survive in the harem without scheming? The harem needs scheming." Madam Wu'an Hou snorted and continued, "As long as she can't give birth to a prince, the queen will have the opportunity to win her over and use her for my own benefit in the future. This is my original intention for entering the palace." She paused and continued, "Someone from the palace came yesterday and told me to come to the palace to pay my respects tomorrow. I know the queen will definitely blame me. However, I've long been used to it. She never looks for reasons from herself, but only vents her anger on others. This time I came to the palace with many gifts and all the expenses, but she still thinks I gave too little."

The next morning, the wife of Marquis Wu'an entered the palace in a carriage.

She knew in her heart that entering the palace this time would not be easy.

As expected, when Concubine Liu saw her, she flew into a rage: "I knew you wouldn't be so kind! You haven't come here for such a long time, and you suddenly come to the palace to give me a message and ask me to do meritorious service? What's your intention?"

Madam Wu'an waited quietly for her to finish venting before she slowly spoke: "I just want to ask you, Your Majesty, what was the Emperor's attitude towards you before my brother made his report yesterday?"

Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment, recalling the scene of sending the stew yesterday. Although the emperor's expression was ugly, he was still kind to her and even said a few more words.

When she left yesterday, she was secretly delighted.

Seeing this, the wife of Marquis Wu'an continued, "If it weren't for your brother's report, Your Majesty would have made a great contribution. Unfortunately, he is arrogant and eager for quick success, and wants to take advantage of the opportunity of Lingnan's reward. But he came to the palace to report without investigating the matter thoroughly, isn't he asking for trouble?"

Liu Bin's face darkened: "Do you want to put everything on your brother? You are really good at shirking responsibility!"

Madam Wu'an shook her head: "I am not shirking responsibility, I am just stating the facts. My brother has been in the court for five years, but he has never made any great contributions, nor has he done anything outstanding that the emperor would appreciate. He has been idling away his time and only wants to be promoted, how can it be that easy?"

After hearing this, Concubine Liu couldn't help but sigh: "What you said is indeed true.
