After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jin is a servant I bought at great expense to serve me. I am very satisfied with her, and I will not sell her before she grows old." Rong Yingluo sat down leisurely, and Yinghong consciously made tea for her mistress.

"You..." Yuwen Tai pointed at Rong Yingluo angrily.

"Your Highness, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to cool down? We can talk slowly afterward." Rong Yingluo gave a polite smile, making her seem like a very easy person to talk to.

Yuwen Tai snorted angrily and helped Jin Zier sit down.

But Jin Zier dared not sit down.

Her current mistress is Rong Yingluo, and since her mistress won't let her sit, she has no choice but to stand.

When Granny Ye taught her the rules, she explained them very clearly, and for this she was punished with a few strokes of the cane.

"If I tell you to sit, then sit." Yuwen Tai pressed the man down to sit.

But Jin Zier immediately sprang to her feet: "This servant wouldn't dare."

"Since it's Prince Xuan who asked you to sit, I, as his master, can't refuse him. So please sit down, or our Prince will be heartbroken." Rong Yingluo finally relented, her words laced with teasing.

Jin Zier then sat down obediently.

"Yinghong, you should sit down too. I can't show favoritism," Rong Yingluo said again.

"Thank you, Miss." Yinghong sat down happily, with Yuwentai sitting opposite her.

The waiter then came in to ask them to order.

Upon seeing that it was the owner, the waiter immediately handed the menu to Rong Yingluo.

Rong Yingluo handed the recipe to Yinghong, who naturally took it and recited the names of the dishes as if they were her own.

Jin Zier was amazed to see Ying Hong so fluently reciting the names of the dishes.

She then realized that even the maids in wealthy and powerful families were so literate.

She only knows a few words, and she can't recognize all the words on the menu.

Only then did she realize how naive she had been.

After the waiter left, Yuwen Tai suppressed his anger and looked at Rong Yingluo with eyes like knives: "Madam Gu, tell me, what are your conditions?"

"Your Highness, my younger sister has already lost her innocence. No matter how well it is concealed, it is an indisputable fact."

More than ten days have passed, and your Prince Xuan's Mansion still hasn't given an explanation.

As the eldest sister-in-law, I naturally have to worry about her more.

"As long as you marry my younger sister, I can send Zi'er as part of her dowry, so she can accompany her to the Xuan Prince's mansion." Rong Yingluo didn't beat around the bush and stated it directly.

Yuwen Tai was taken aback, but his face quickly lit up with joy.

He tried many ways to bring Jin Zier into his mansion as his woman, but he couldn't come up with a foolproof plan.

Rong Yingluo actually helped him accomplish it so easily.

He couldn't make the decision to marry Gu Qingya. His marriage would only be possible with his father's approval.

The father now hates Gu Ce and Rong Yingluo to the core, and the younger sister even wants to eat their flesh.

Under these circumstances, how could his father possibly agree to him marrying Gu Qingya?

But Zi'er is in Rong Yingluo's hands, and if you want to get her back, you have to agree to her conditions.

For a moment, Yuwentai could not give a definite answer.

"What? The Crown Prince can't do it?" Rong Yingluo looked down on Yuwen Tai, thinking he was less cunning than the Crown Prince.

If it weren't for Prince Xuan strategizing for him, with his limited intelligence, would he even dare to covet that position?

"Let me go back and think about it." Yuwen Tai really needed time to maneuver.

"Alright, I'll only give you five days. If you don't arrive by then, then Miss Zi'er will have to be my servant for life. Besides, I've already picked out a servant for her and am preparing to arrange a good marriage for her." Rong Yingluo was ruthless.

"You dare!" Yuwen Tai was instantly enraged.

That was his woman. The two of them had already made love several times. He was extremely satisfied with Zi'er's performance in bed. She was much more sensible than the two concubines at home and served him so well that he felt completely comfortable.

"I'll be waiting for your good news. Of course, I can also help you. My husband can put in a good word for you with the Emperor, since it's his sister's marriage."

"And I can also ask the Empress to whisper in the Emperor's ear." Rong Yingluo was clearly telling him that marrying a young lady from the Gu family would bring him a lot of support, and even the Empress and her family would become his allies.

It should be noted that the Zhao family and the Gu family, one being civil and the other military, are already powerful enough to change the course of events. Even the Rong family's wealth could potentially become an asset to Prince Xuan.

She refused to believe that Prince Xuan wouldn't be tempted by this.

Yuwen Tai wasn't stupid; he naturally thought of this as well.

"Very well, with Madam Gu's strong support, I will definitely persuade my father to agree to the marriage." Yuwen Tai decided immediately.

"Your Highness is so straightforward." Rong Yingluo's fox-like smile made Yuwen Tai's eyes flicker.

Gu Ce is so lucky to have such a beautiful and intelligent woman; he's even a little tempted by her.

"Yinghong, have the waiter send half of the dishes to the next room. We'll eat there." Rong Yingluo winked at Jin Zier.

"Yes, Miss."

Rong Yingluo and her maidservant withdrew.

Yuwen Tai didn't expect Rong Yingluo to be so understanding, leaving him some space to ease his longing.

"Young Master Wen," Jin Zier called cautiously in a low voice, "it's Zier who has put you in a difficult position."

"It's alright. I'm sorry for not telling you my true identity, which made you suffer." Yuwen Tai liked Jin Zier's ever-changing nature.

She dares to act childish in front of him, yet she can also plead with him pitifully and considerately, while simultaneously taking care of his feelings and making him happy at any time.

"Zi'er is not wronged. I am so happy to see you again."

At that time, Zi'er really had no choice. Her elder brother had gambled too much and owed three thousand taels of silver.

Zi'er doesn't know where you live, and doesn't know where to go if she wants to ask you for help.

"It was at that time that we met the Prime Minister's wife. She helped us drive away the gambling den thugs who came to collect debts, and she also helped us pay off our debts. My father had no choice but to agree to sell himself." Jin Zier briefly recounted what had happened to her in the past few days.

She wanted Yuwentai to understand that she had no choice; her master had said she could tell him.

"Damn Rong, they actually used you to threaten me, the young master!" Yuwen Tai gritted his teeth.

He knew Rong Yingluo was doing it on purpose, but what could he do? The matter was already settled.

She won't sell herself, so he can't take Zi'er away unless he's the emperor.

"Young Master Wen, I miss you so much," Jin Zier began to whine.

Yuwen Tai was already in a bad mood after being confined for ten days, but Jin Zier's seduction instantly dispelled his gloom.

Just then, the waiter brought in the dishes. Yuwen Tai knew that no one else would come in, so he got up, closed the door, and bolted it shut.

What will happen next is easy to imagine.

Rong Yingluo and Yinghong ate slowly for a full hour before Yuwentai and Jin Zier came to knock on the door.

"Madam Gu, Zi'er has been well taken care of these days. If I find out that you are not treating her well, Gu Qingya will not have a good life in the future," Yuwen Tai said harshly.

"Don't worry, the young master's people are all precious. I will also help her take care of her body so that she can have more children." Rong Yingluo could tell just by looking that Jin Zier must have been cold when she was young. Without proper care, it would be difficult for her to get pregnant.

"I hope you keep your word." Yuwen Tai flicked his sleeves and left.

Rong Yingluo watched his retreating figure, a mocking smile appearing on her face, hoping he wouldn't disappoint her.

It would be best if Gu Ce and the Empress could avoid getting involved.
