Translator: NovelMultiverse Editor: NovelMultiverse
After Mu Shi and Yu Qianjiao were beaten by General Yu, the Yu Mansion was quiet for a while. These days, Mu Shi and Yu Qianjiao could only lie in bed to recuperate. Concubine Mei, who had just moved into the mansion, was busy wooing her servants to consolidate her position in the Yu house. As usual, Concubine Dong lived her life without saying a word. As for the concubines and daughters in the Yu house, they all knew that General Yu was in a bad mood these days. Everyone was reading and practicing needlework. No one dared cause trouble. Even the naughty and ignorant Yu Weiyuan was obediently reading the Three-character Classic in his room.
Even the lady in charge has been beaten, how can they dare to touch General Yu’s sour head?
Therefore, in addition to Lord Xu, who visited from time to time during this period, life in the Yu house was still quite plain.
Since the last time Lord Xu was smashed by Yu Linglong with ice cubes, the whole city of Beijing knew about it from the royal family to the civilians. Everyone knew that the roaming prince Lord Xu was infatuated with the Fourth Lady of the Yu house. He would not leave even if it got him beaten and scolded.
The Yu Mansion, which had never been noticed by the noble circles in the capital, was very eye-catching this time.
What kind of character did the Fourth Lady of the Yu house have which made Lord Xu treat her like this? There was really no way everyone would not be curious.
In an open invitation, Yu Linglong refused to go, and the master couldn’t believe it. The other ladies in the Yu house were becoming more valuable, and various invitations flew in like snow, inviting the ladies of the Yu family to come as guests.
If Mu Shi hadn’t been injured, she would be very happy to see these people being so diligent. But she really couldn’t be happy at the moment. Yu Qianjiao, the only protagonist of the Yu Mansion, was given a beating when she recovered from the poisoning. Yu Qianfang and Mu Shi already had a falling out. Of course, Mu Shi was unwilling to let Yu Qianfang go out. Besides, even if she was willing to let Yu Qianfang go, Yu Qianfang wouldn’t go out with her bald head.
Actually, this was convenient to Yu Qianliu. She happily went to banquets every day. When she came back, she described how spacious other people’s homes were, how exquisite the food and drinks of other people’s homes were, and how gorgeously the ladies of other people’s homes were dressed. This made Mu Shi, who was recuperating, very dissatisfied and angered.
This is to say nothing of how the Yu Mansion was constantly bustling. Lord Xu sent the ice sculpture the last time. After annoying Yu Linglong, he continued to visit Pinlan Garden every few days. He almost regarded the inner house of Yu Mansion as his own backyard. No need to be announced, he just ran in.
No one knows how he has collected all kinds of rare treasures; the pearl of the East China Sea, agate from Miluo, snow lotus from Tianshan, mermaid silk from the South China Seas…they were sent to Pinlan Garden every day, which was dazzling.
Knowing that this sticky candy couldn’t be beaten or scolded, Yu Linglong simply stopped paying attention to him. Gifts that he sent would be stored if she couldn’t push them out. In any case, the people in Pinlan Garden were few but there were many rooms, so there were a few rooms that were empty that held the special collection. Yu Linglong didn’t even look at the gifts from Lord Xu.
She didn’t see the person, she just accepted the things.
Yu Linglong didn’t believe it. She was ignoring him, how could this prince keep giving her gifts like this?[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
She had seen a lot of men like this. They were all fresh for a while, and when the enthusiasm passed, naturally there were more fun things to attract them.
Even if he can persist for three days, three months, can he persist for three years? Can it last a lifetime?
Yu Linglong didn’t expect that he didn’t care that she was indifferent and ruthless towards him, but it offended someone over there.
Yu Qianliu went to banquets every day. Although they were very beautiful, she knew that she was taking the light from Yu Linglong.
Whether it was a banquet, a poem meeting, or a flower viewing, everyone spoke to her to inquire about Yu Linglong. Everyone wanted to know what kind of character this woman had who fascinated Lord Xu at first sight?
Yu Qianliu originally had a grudge against Yu Linglong. Now that Yu Linglong was in the limelight, Lord Xu was carefully giving her gifts, but she could only live in the shadow of Yu Linglong, and that little darling was becoming a threat.
With the experience of being filled with sewage from Yu Linglong last time, Yu Qianliu was careful not to have a head-on conflict with Yu Linglong but adopted a roundabout policy.

On the surface, when she ran into Yu Linglong in the yard, she would say hello to her politely. Although she was always taciturn, she was still very smart and did not express her dissatisfaction on her face.
On the other hand, she began to visit Yu Qianjiao often in the name of caring about her. While describing her funny banquet with Yu Qianjiao, she also hinted at how Yu Linglong became famous outside, so that everyone only knew that there was a fourth lady in Yufu, but they didn’t know that there was still a sixth lady of the first wife.
Yu Qianjiao was young and grew up in the favor of Mu Shi. She thought about things very simply. She was very dissatisfied with Yu Linglong’s slap in the face, and then she was slapped by General Yu. A few whips made her unable to get out even if she was invited as a guest. She attributed all this to the illegitimate daughter Yu Linglong, who was now having a wedge driven between them by Yu Qianliu, and she was full of resentment towards Yu Linglong.
A little illegitimate daughter, why should she be obsessed with her!?
Yu Qianliu watched Yu Qianjiao’s anger towards Yu Linglong increase day by day. She secretly chuckled. This battle between the daughter of the first wife and the daughter of a commoner seemed about to start.
This day came so fast that Yu Qianliu didn’t even think of it.
Early that morning, Yu Qianjiao asked the maid to invite Yu Qianliu over, saying that there was something important to discuss.
Yu Qianjiao’s injury was not too serious, and she had almost healed after recovering for a few days. After holding back for so many days, she even gave herself a good idea of revenge.
When Yu Qianliu entered the room, she saw Yu Qianjiao sitting in front of the dressing table, letting the maid dress her up. Yu Qianliu put on a smile and said, “Is my younger sister feeling better? Look at you today, my sister is in good spirits.”

Yu Qianjiao moved a stool with her hand and motioned Yu Qianliu to sit down: “Sit down first. I have something to tell you.”
Although Yu Qianliu was the elder sister, and Yu Qianjiao was the younger sister, because she was the daughter of a commoner, Yu Qianjiao didn’t have much respect for her.
Yu Qianliu had long been accustomed to her attitude and sat down with a smile, “What’s the matter with my sister?”
Yu Qianjiao sat in front of the dressing table and looked at Yu Qianliu in the mirror: “How do I teach that girl a lesson? I already have an idea.”
Yu Qianliu said with surprise on her face: “You thought of an idea so soon? My younger sister is smart. Tell me, what is the solution?”
Yu Qianjiao smiled triumphantly: “Well, you’ll know in a while.”
Yu Qianliu was a little disappointed: “You won’t even tell me?”
The smile on Yu Qianjiao’s face in the mirror was full of hatred: “Isn’t she very powerful? I want to see if she can beat those—”
Her words stopped abruptly. Yu Qianjiao’s little mouth clicked, and she told Yu Qianliu: “Do you know the yard in the northwest corner?”
Yu Qianliu thought for a while and said, “Is that the yard with two old locust trees outside?”
Yu Qianjiao nodded: “Yes. You’ll take her to that yard in a while, and I will have my own way to clean her up when that happens!”
