Xiao Rou's brows gradually furrowed as she pinched the handkerchief in her hand. "You're a slut indeed, but I've never forgotten that Ru Yue is the cheapest of them all. I've always wanted to take good care of her."

"…" Lian Shiya's fingers tightened as she cursed in her heart. Xiao Rou, you're the bitch! Just you wait, I won't let you go.

"It's time to settle the scores with her." Xiao Rou's eyes flashed with a thought as she said.

Two days later, Lian Xiyue was in the First Wife's room looking over Imperial Physician Rong's pulse.

"Madam, eldest miss …" At this moment, Senior Servant Tai quickly walked in and said, "Third Miss came from the Duke of Yue's estate in a sedan. She said she came to visit her own mother. She's at the old woman's place right now."

The First Madam frowned and said, "Now that the day of the Xiao family's delivery has arrived, it makes sense for Shiya to come as a member of the Prince of Yue and pay a visit to them."

Lian Ru Yue asked Senior Servant Tai. "You must have come with Princess Yue."

"Eldest Miss has a brilliant plan. This servant already guessed it before you could say it. That's right, she came here with Princess Yue. Princess Yue also brought a lot of gifts, including a portion for the madams and misses of each room, and Eldest Wife's side is also prepared to send someone to deliver it." Senior Servant Tai said.

Lian Ruyue lightly laughed, "Of course she won't come by herself. If she comes by herself, I'm afraid she won't even be able to enter through the door, so grandma will send her away as she pleases. But it's different with Princess Consort Yue.

The first wife nodded and said, "I'm afraid even Princess Consort Yu's flowery words lied to her."

"Mother, don't worry about these things. Take a good rest. Daughter will go take a look." Lian Ruyue stood up and helped the first wife onto the bed before leaving the courtyard.

As expected, grandma's room was filled with boxes, and every box was opened. Xiao Rou was currently introducing the jewelry and silks within the boxes, and as expected, they were paid tribute to by foreign countries. These were the Cloudbrocade from Su Prefecture, which was extremely precious and was given to the ladies and ladies of the Lian Clan.

Grandmother's expression was somewhat stiff, while the rest of the madams and young ladies had ugly expressions.

Xiao Rou was also just a princess. She had come to the Residence of Ye as a guest, yet her attitude was as though she was giving rewards. Her attitude was superior to others, and even her mother and the others were not comfortable with her presence.

As for Shi Ya, she was standing beside Xiao Rou. The former Third Miss had now become the concubine of the King of Yue's estate. She didn't even have a seat to sit on now that she had returned.

Lian Shiya's expression went grim when she saw Lian Meng Yue.

Xiao Rou didn't even give Lian Shiya the slightest bit of face when she arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate. It was clear that her days were not going well.

She smirked and said, "Third Sister is back? Why didn't you inform me in advance? "

"..." I came with the Princess. " Lian Shiya bit her lower lip as she spoke. She didn't dare to say too much in front of Xiao Rou.

"Oh, I see." Lian Ru Yue walked to her mother's side and sat down.

When Xiao Rou saw Lian Ru Yue, a smile appeared on her face. "Yo, County Lord Rong He, you're finally here. This wangfei came today to pay her respects and specifically brought some gifts. County Lord, please choose one as well."

Lian Ruyue only smiled faintly, "Princess Yue, since you're here, you're here. Since you're so polite, my Prime Minister's Estate should prepare some things in return."

"Yue-er is right, it's a gift that should be returned. Huang Cen, Senior Servant Song, you guys go to the storehouse and return the gift according to Princess Yue's etiquette. Although our Prime Minister's estate can't compare to the Xiao family's grandeur, our etiquette can't be lacking."

"The madame is too polite." Xiao Rou's expression changed slightly as she replied.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Rou suddenly said, "Old madam, in fact, this wangfei has come to seek your help."

"Oh? I wonder what wangfei is asking for? " her mother asked.

Xiao Rou looked back at Lian Shiya and said, "Tell me."

"Grandmother …" "My mother will be born soon. I beg my grandmother to let my mother return to the Clear Spring Courtyard for labor. She is pregnant, so she can't live in the west yard."

Hearing that, Lian Mu's face suddenly became ugly. "What do you mean? The Xiao family is not the only aunt who gave birth to a child in the West Branch. What, the rest of the aunts were all abused and given birth in the West Branch? "

"I …"

"Old madam, of course she didn't mean it that way, but your family's Aunt Xiao has a different identity after all. Firstly, she is the concubine of our palace, and secondly, she is the aunt of my wife, so I made this presumptuous request to her, and I hope that she would agree. Otherwise, if word of this gets out, my reputation as the princess won't look good." Xiao Rou took over Lian Shiya's words, but every word was extremely forceful.

"Naturally, we have to consider things that exceed the dignity of an imperial concubine." Lian Ruyue said, "Actually, originally, my father took care of the Xiao family and sent them to their home. Then, for some reason, they were kicked out of their home in less than a month and installed in another courtyard. It seems that the Xiao family doesn't want to leave a pregnant person at home.

"If Princess Consort Yue loves her aunt so much, and is afraid that my servants won't be able to serve her well, why don't she bring her back to her own palace and show her filial piety? She might even receive an earth-shattering title of filial piety. Tell me, what do you think about my suggestion?"

"You!" Xiao Rou did not expect to not even give a shred of face to Lu Yue. At this moment, Mrs Liu from the Third Branch spoke up. "Princess Consort Yue, it's not like you don't know. The Prime Minister has already written off the Xiao Family long ago, and because your three elder brothers insisted on sending back the Xiao family, it caused such a storm that the Prime Minister was very unhappy.

Logically speaking, they definitely could not come back.

To outsiders, the Xiao Clan of the West Branch is no longer the Xiao Clan of the past, but merely a concubine that the Prime Minister has just taken in. In other words, our Lian Clan no longer has a person like the Xiao Clan from the past.

In this way, my Lian Clan will become the laughingstock of everyone, this is something we absolutely cannot do.

However, we hope that you can consider our proposal. Since you're so worried for your aunt, you should take care of it by your side. "

"This... "There's no need." Xiao Rou said in embarrassment.

How could she possibly bring the Xiao family back to the Duke of Yue's estate? Wasn't this a slap to the face of the Duke of Yue's estate? She wouldn't do such a thing.

Moreover, the reason she agreed to Lian Shiya's request was to make Lian Meng Yue suffer.
