The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 49 Tit for tat
Nan Zhiyu slept until noon before waking up leisurely.

As soon as he stood up, Qingdai walked to the couch with a serious expression and handed over the letter hidden in his sleeve.

Nan Zhiyu looked through the letter inside and asked, "Where did this come from?"

Qing Dai: "This was sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Crown Princess sent someone to ask what the young lady meant?"

Nan Zhiyu took a quick look at it and threw it away.

What the letter said about not seeing each other for a long time and being worried about each other was all lies.

The real purpose of the Prime Minister's wife wanting to enter the palace is probably for her good daughter, Nan Mingzhu. As for visiting her, it is just a side job.

"Qingdai, send someone to Ganlu Palace to reply and tell her that I haven't seen my mother for a long time and I miss her very much."

Qingdai couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Her mistress's ability to make up stories was becoming more and more perfect.

Nan Zhiyu did not wait for the prince to return in Chongming Palace. She left a note explaining the reason and left gracefully.

Not even an hour after the group returned to Jiangyunxuan, someone came to report that the Prime Minister's wife had already entered the palace.

Led by the little palace maid, they entered the hall and saw the nobleman sitting on the Arhat couch. The Prime Minister's wife almost didn't recognize him.

After all, Nan Zhiyu has changed drastically compared to before she entered the palace.

There is probably no one else with such a stunning and beautiful face in the entire Jingzhou City.

If she had known that this little bitch had such a patient and calculating nature, she would never have brought her into the palace.

He not only failed to steal the chicken but also lost the rice, and instead harmed her pearl.

"Zhizhi, your mother is here to see you." Prime Minister's wife, Huang, suppressed her thoughts, put on a kind face, and bowed respectfully.

Nan Zhiyu raised her eyes, put down the book in her hand, looked at Huang who was standing below, and said in a calm voice: "Mother, there is no need to be so polite."

Huang was helped to stand up and sat on a yellow pear wood stool beside her. She showed the air of a mistress and said in a pretentious manner, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You look more and more radiant. You are no longer the wild and unruly person you were in the manor.

But how could you cause your sister to be disliked by the prince? Don’t you feel that doing so would be a betrayal of your mother’s trust in you?”

After hearing this, Lian Yue felt her fist harden, "Are you sure this is the young master's mother?"

Qing Dai shook her head: "She is the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The young lady was born to the aunt. Logically, she should call her mother."

Lian Yue immediately changed the cakes and tea in his hand, and then ordered someone to bring them up and place them in front of Huang.

Huang thought that it was Nan Zhiyu's special order, and she straightened her back even more, like a majestic and proud rooster.

"Mother, do you think I am still the country girl who allowed you to control me?" Nan Zhiyu played with the teacup in her hand, looking at her with a smile.

Huang didn't take her words to heart at all. "As long as you were born and raised in the Nan family, you will have a close relationship with the Nan family throughout your life. Don't ever think about getting rid of your identity as a concubine of the Nan family."

The oppression of the clan and the ties of blood bound Nan Zhiyu tightly, as if all her struggles were in vain.

"Mother, instead of threatening me with these high-sounding words, you might as well kneel down and beg me. Maybe I'll be in a good mood and say a few good words to Nan Yunu in front of His Highness."

Since she was going to stab him in the back, Nan Zhiyu was naturally not afraid, because she was the woman of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace!
Huang sneered, "Nan Zhiyu, have you forgotten where your mother's ashes are buried? I remember it clearly. If you don't help Mingzhu out of her predicament, don't blame me for not even giving you a place to stay."

Nan Zhiyu tightly grasped the teacup in her hand and said nonchalantly, "I am really afraid of the threats from the Prime Minister's wife. If you have the guts, go. My aunt's body is buried in the peach forest outside the village in the suburbs of Beijing. Don't go to the wrong place.

After all, my aunt never told me her name or who she was, and she was no different from a wandering ghost." The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, as if she was really heartless and didn't care at all that her aunt's grave was abandoned.

Huang looked at her with contempt, "I never thought that the precious daughter that idiot Luo Chu risked his life to give birth to would turn out to be such a ruthless and ungrateful person."

"Hahaha~~ This is all God's will, it's all God's will!"

Nan Zhiyu raised her hand and placed the teacup on the table. The "click" sound seemed very abrupt in the quiet hall. Huang realized something and restrained her behavior.

"So, if Madam Prime Minister wants me to help Nan Mingzhu, you'd better show some sincerity instead of this kind of innocuous and unpresentable threat."

Huang was instantly shocked by the aura she exuded. It was from this moment that she began to look at Nan Zhiyu seriously, instead of looking at her with the same eyes as before. "What does Yue Fengyi want? Why don't you speak frankly?"

Nan Zhiyu tilted her head and smiled, casually fiddling with the jade bracelet on her hand. "What I lack most right now should be money! When I entered the Eastern Palace as a concubine, the Prime Minister's Mansion didn't seem to have given me a penny of dowry. How about making up for it?"

Huang looked at her and stretched out five fingers, then slammed the table and stood up, "You asked for 500,000 taels right away, are you crazy about money?"

Nan Zhiyu shook her head, "Who said it was five hundred thousand taels?"

Huang heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. Fortunately it was not 500,000 taels.

"I want five million taels."

After these words came out, Huang almost couldn't catch her breath.

"The total annual expenditure of the Prime Minister's Mansion is only ten thousand taels of silver. You asked for five million taels. Isn't it a bit..."

Nan Zhiyu raised her hand and swept the teacup on the table to the floor, breaking it into pieces. "If the Prime Minister's wife thinks that Nan Mingzhu alone is not worth so much money, then is it worth the price if the cousin of the Qi family is included?"

When Huang heard that Qi Che was involved in this, she immediately became annoyed, "Are you kidding me? What does this have to do with Qi Che?"

Nan Zhiyu stood up from the couch, walked in front of her, and looked down at her: "If you don't believe it, then go back and wait for news. Then you will know whether your five million taels are worth it."

She pointed her slender finger outside and said, "It's getting late, please go back, mother!"

Huang followed the little palace maid outside with mixed feelings.

After everyone was dragged away, Nan Zhiyu slapped herself twice, her cheeks becoming extremely red and swollen.

Seeing this, Qing Dai hurriedly stopped her, "My lady, what are you doing? Your face is injured like this and the swelling won't go away by tomorrow."

Lian Yue quickly took out the ointment sent by the prince and wanted to apply it on her with a cotton swab, but was rejected by Nan Zhiyu.

"I'm fine, you guys go out, no one is allowed in without permission."

The moment the palace door was closed, Nan Zhiyu fell to her knees with a plop. The emotions hidden in her heart burst out, and tears fell from her eyes in strings. She choked and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry, Zhizhi didn't mean it."

At that time, she showed a little concern for her aunt's body. After the Prime Minister's wife left the palace, she would send people to hide her aunt's body as a threat to force her to help Nan Mingzhu make a comeback.

She didn't want to live under the control of others all her life, so she couldn't let anyone control her.
