She stood up and bowed solemnly. "Madam, I've caused so much trouble for this family. I've been terrified by the way you treat me, but on Auntie Yun's side ?"

"Don't worry Eldest Miss, I will investigate everything that Aunt Yun has done to you, but right now, I have a request for Eldest Miss."

"Madam, please speak."

"I've already received the news that the Emperor has appointed the Eighth Prince as his messenger to patrol the city. He will be arriving in Yao City in half a month's time. My eldest daughter, Su An, was chosen to be a maidservant in the palace the year before last. She was not able to receive the favor of the emperor, so she went to the court and waited on the orders of the eighth prince's mother, Imperial Consort Xu. I would like to present a unique Hundred Birds of a Phoenix cape to Imperial Consort Xu for her birthday present. Eldest Miss is beautifully embroidered.

Lian Ruyue's plan this time was to wait for the Jiang clan's words! Because right now, she was too weak and had to find someone to help her from behind when she returned to the Prime Minister's Estate. Currently, the only person she could get in touch with was the eighth prince, Feng Ye.

It was June, 46, the year of Yao Shun. According to time, Empress Wen Cheng had been dead for two years, but the emperor had not been able to reestablish himself. The imperial harem was led by the birth mother of the eighth prince, Imperial Concubine Xu, and the four leaders of the imperial concubine, Consort Xian, Lian Shufei, and Zhou Defei shared power over the harem.

As for the crown prince, Feng Ming, due to the lack of strict management, the powerful officials under his command, Yuchi Liang and the others, had formed a private camp and acted inappropriately, repeatedly overstepping the boundaries of the imperial authority and having been abandoned by the emperor for two months. Right now, there was no king for the kingdom. This was also the most tense and intense time for the consorts to battle with the princes.

The eighth prince, Feng Ye, was considered to be the most popular candidate for the throne. When he was forty-four years old, he was conferred the title of Great General Fuyuan by the emperor.

Looking back in her previous life, she clearly remembered that Feng Ye would come to Yao City during this period of time. At that time, the Jiang clan had expended all their efforts yet still hadn't been able to see Feng Ye. They had prepared the wedding gift for the County Magistrate to pass on to her, but the eighth prince hadn't accepted it in the end, and the Jiang clan had even been distracted for a long time, blaming themselves for not being able to do anything for their daughter.

She'd seen Su An once before when she'd entered the palace to see the empress dowager, but she hadn't seen him since. She had no idea how she was doing.

Thinking of this, Lian Ru Yue said, "Madam treats me so well; I will definitely do my best."

"Good!" "Then I'll have to trouble young miss." When Jiang Shi saw that she had agreed, a stone fell from his heart.

"However, there is something that I don't know whether I should tell the first wife or not." Lian Ruyue wanted to say something, but she hesitated; her expression revealed contradictions.

"What is it? Just tell me."

Lian Ru Yue bit her lower lip and hesitantly whispered a few words into Jiang Shi's ear. When she heard this, her expression immediately changed drastically. "Is what you said true?"

Lian Ru Yue said, "It's absolutely true. If the First Madam doesn't believe it, she can personally see it."

Mother Lin took Auntie Yun's letter and quickly walked outside with her head down. When she turned the corner of the long corridor, a figure suddenly blocked her path.

Seeing the expressionless face in front of her, she jumped in fright. She subconsciously held the letter tightly in her arms. "Eldest, why is the young miss not at the Madam's side?"
