Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

Running Into an Acquaintance in an Empty Courtyard

Qian Jiao watched as Yu Yunxi wrote the words, ‘A divorce will make two people happy’. She could not help but break out in cold sweat. It was obvious that Yu Yunxi was very angry this time.

After a while, Yu Yunxi finally finished writing. She put down the brush and placed the letter in an envelope. After handing it to Qian Jiao, she said, “Go to the Prince Regent’s Residence tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if Feng Yili signs it or not, but you have to give this to him.”

“Yes, County Princess.”

Yu Yunxi added coldly, “Also, keep an eye on Aunt Qing.”

Qian Jiao frowned. “Are you worried that Madam Chen will harm Aunt Qing?”

“This isn’t the only reason…” Yu Yunxi said seriously.

…

When Yu Wanrong entered the room, she saw Madam Chen’s dazed expression and became even more suspicious.

Meanwhile, Madam Chen could not calm down for a long time even after Nanny Liang helped her to her seat.

“Mother, are you alright?”

After a long time, Madam Chen looked at Yu Wanrong and said, “It’s nothing. I was just shocked to see someone who should’ve died appear in front of me.”

‘Really?’

Yu Wanrong naturally did not believe this excuse. She continued to probe and asked, “Mother, didn’t you trust Aunt Qing a lot in the past? Why was she looking at you with such a strange expression earlier?”

Madam Chen froze when she heard these words.

At this time, Nanny Liang hastily said, “Second Miss, what else could it be? That little b*tch, Yu Yunxi, must have bribed her. She has done many things for us so she’s privy to many things. Madam is just worried that Aunt Qing will turn against us so she lost her composure.”

Although Nanny Liang’s words sounded sincere, Yu Wanrong only believed half of them. Her expression was dark as she said gloomily, “Aunt Qing is a traitor. We can’t allow her to live.”

Nanny Liang nodded in agreement. She narrowed her murky eyes and said to Madam Chen, “Madam, we must think of a way to get rid of that scourge as soon as possible.”

Madam Chen’s eyes flashed, and she grabbed the chair tightly.

‘That’s right. I can’t allow that b*tch to die! If she leaks that matter, and the Empress and the Prime Minister find out, the Chen family and I won’t be able to live!’

Madam Chen slammed her hand on the handle of the chair and said angrily, “She has the protection of that little sl*t, Yu Yunxi, now. It won’t be easy for us to act! That Concubine is an idiot! She swore that she would deal with Yu Yunxi today, but in the end, the other party dealt with her instead!”

Madam Chen’s anger spread to Concubine Gao as well at this moment. Then, she seemed to have recalled something. She quickly grabbed Nanny Liang’s hand and asked, “By the way, what’s happening with the Revival Hall?”

Nanny Liang’s expression turned unsightly when she heard this question. She hesitated for a moment before she answered truthfully, “Madam, that little b*tch doesn’t seem to care about that shop at all. She took the plaque away and sold the shop to someone in the death care industry.”

“What?!”

Madam Chen was so angry that she almost fainted.

“Then, the shops that I bought…”

Nanny Liang said resentfully, “They’ll likely be affected…”

Nanny Liang thought to herself, ‘That little sl*t is really vicious. Madam spent a lot of money on those shops, and she clearly wants Madam to lose everything.’

“Wanrong, that old hag from the Zhou family has been bothering me every day, asking me to deal with the matter of the dowry as soon as possible. I had no choice but to use this method to deal with Yu Yunxi. I didn’t expect that little sl*t to turn things around. Didn’t you say that the Prince Regent would help? What did he say?” Madam Chen asked anxiously as she held Yu Wanrong’s hand tightly.

Yu Wanrong’s expression blackened. She said through gritted teeth, “The Prince Regent has been away over the past few days. I couldn’t find him.”

“Why is it like this? Is he busy or is he avoiding you? Wanrong, do you think that matter will be…” Madam Chen trailed off, looking worried.

“Mother, that won’t happen. Over the past five years, he had never doubted that I was the one who saved him. He won’t doubt me now,” Yu Wanrong said confidently.

Back then, after sending the assassins to the Imperial Mausoleum, Yu Wanrong waited for a long time but did not receive any news. For that reason, she led another group of people over, but when she arrived, she found that all the assassins had died and Yu Yunxi was nowhere to be found.

At that time, Yu Wanrong walked into the Imperial Mausoleum and discovered that Feng Yili was showing signs of waking up so quickly ordered people to dispose of the corpses. Then, she pretended that she came to save Feng Yili and Yun Yixi. Due to this ‘kindness’, Feng Yili had helped the Yu family a lot.

Madam Chen thought about it for a moment before she asked, “Wanrong, I really don’t understand. Don’t you like the Crown Prince a lot? Why are you still hanging on to the Prince Regent? If the Crown Prince gets angry with you, you won’t be able to make up for the loss.”

Yu Wanrong covered her mouth and laughed. “Mother, don’t worry. The Crown Prince won’t be angry because I’m close to the Prince Regent. On the contrary, he’s happy about it…”

Madam Chen was perplexed. Ever since that incident five years ago, Yu Wanrong seemed to be hiding many things from her. She wondered what Yu Wanrong and Feng Weizhou planned to do.

Yu Wanrong said calmly, “Don’t worry, Mother. Only I can be the Crown Princess, and only I can become the Empress in the future. Just wait for the glory.”

“Then…”

“Regarding the dowry, I’ll look for the Prince Regent again and tell him about this matter.”

…

Late at night.

Yu Yunxi was very punctual and arrived near the entrance of the shop in the south of the city. Then, she found a place to wait.

After waiting for a long time, Qian Jiao swatted away the mosquitoes buzzing around and asked apprehensively, “County Princess, what if the owner doesn’t show up tonight?”

“Let’s wait a little longer. If no one comes, we’ll leave,” Yu Yunxi said in a low voice as she looked at the moon hanging in the sky.

As soon as Yu Yunxi’s words fell, a figure appeared at the door of the house.

“Qian Jiao, guard this place,” Yu Yunxi said before she quickly walked over. She did not beat around the bush and said, “Mister, may I ask if you’re the owner of this place? You…”

Yu Yunxi stopped speaking abruptly. As soon as she saw the other party’s face, she wanted to leave immediately.

Jiang Ying reacted quickly. He hurried over and asked, “Princess Consort? Why are you here?”

‘Just like enemies meeting on a narrow road…’

Yu Yunxi gritted her teeth. Nonetheless, compared to Feng Yili, she felt that Jiang Ying was slightly more pleasing to the eye.

‘Forget it. I’ll ask him about the shop.’

“Whose place is this? Yours or…”

“Of course, this place belongs to His… to my friend… He’s away from the capital most of the time so he asked to come over once in a while to have a look,” Jiang Ying said with a stiff smile on his face.

At the same time, Jiang Ying wondered inwardly, ‘Why is the Princess Consort here? Could it be…’

Jiang Ying cleared his throat. Then, he smiled sincerely and said, “Princess Consort, my friend said that it’s not good to leave this place empty for such a long time. He has been asking me to find a buyer. Princess Consort, why don’t you come in and have a look?”

Yu Yunxi frowned, feeling suspicious.

However, Jiang Ying had already pushed the door open and invited her in. He led her into the courtyard before he suddenly smacked his forehead lightly and said, “I’m sorry, Princess Consort, the key to the hall is in the backyard. I’ll go and get the key first.”

With that, Jiang Ying hurried away.

Yu Yunxi stood in the courtyard for a long time, but Jiang Ying still had yet to return. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. At this moment, she heard some movements, and her expression changed.

‘Thieves? Or assassins?’

Yu Yunxi held her breath and pulled a dagger out before she quickly walked to the door and pushed it open.

As soon as the door opened, Yu Yunxi saw a shirtless man. His back was facing her, giving her a clear view of his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Every inch of his skin was covered in shocking scars. It made him look slightly fierce.

Yu Yunxi felt her face heat up as she stared at the scene in front of her, feeling dumbfounded.
