Traveling through the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 304 Pretending to be Drunk to Win Favor

It was the last day of March, and the sun was shining brightly, but the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos. The whole mansion was shrouded in tension and anger, as if a storm was about to come.

The cause of all this was the pregnant prime minister's wife. At this moment, she was forced to drag her heavy body and decorate the yard with difficulty.

It turned out that the Prime Minister had once again brought back a young and beautiful concubine, Xiao Taohong, from the infamous Zuihonglou.

The Prime Minister almost roared at Liu, "Liu! I am not here to discuss this matter with you, but to inform you directly! If I hadn't considered that you are pregnant, how could I be so tolerant and yielding to you? However, you have committed so many mistakes behind my back. Do you really think I know nothing? Let me tell you, I have decided to marry this little Taohong today!"

As he spoke, he subconsciously touched the cut on his cheek that had not yet healed, and the anger in his heart burned more and more fiercely.

Facing the prime minister's accusations, Liu did not show any weakness. She approached the prime minister step by step with her visibly pregnant belly. At the same time, she stretched out a trembling finger and pointed it directly at the prime minister's nose, cursing him nonstop:

"Bah! You shameless thing! You took my money and said you were going to do some business, but you turned around and ran to Zuihonglou to redeem that vixen! Humph, don't think you can hide these things from me, I have already found out everything you are doing!"

Hearing Liu's harsh words, the Prime Minister's face turned blue with anger, but a subtle cunning flashed in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said:

"Since you are so ignorant and don't know how to advance or retreat, from now on, the power of the housekeeper in the backyard of the prime minister's mansion will no longer belong to you. Zhiyu, from now on, all the affairs of this mansion will be in charge of you, and I will send two smart and capable maids to assist you. As for Liu...you should just stay in the house and take care of your pregnancy!"

After saying this, the Prime Minister raised his head slightly with a smug look on his face, but the smile in his eyes did not really reach the depths of his eyes.

"Master, Madam is just upset at the moment. Why should you be angry? Madam, please apologize to the master quickly. How can the housekeeper power fall into the hands of a concubine? Madam, you are the mistress of the family. If this gets out, people will laugh at you. Now the eldest young master has reached the age to discuss marriage. Madam and the master must be speaking out of anger." Liu's personal nanny hurriedly pulled Liu's hand and persuaded her.

Even though Liu was furious, she knew the importance of the housekeeper's power, so she had to pretend to faint. This frightened the prime minister, who quickly picked up Liu and ran into the room, put her on the bed, and ordered the guards to call the palace doctor.

Zhiyu, who was standing aside waiting to thank En, had her handkerchief twisted to pieces. She had thought that she would be able to take over the housekeeper smoothly, but she did not expect such a mistake to happen.

"My lord, the madam is suffering from impatience, but the fetus in her belly is fine. She will be fine after two days of rest." The court doctor took the reward and left.

After all, they have been married for many years, and the Prime Minister sat on the edge of the bed feeling a little guilty. Liu understood that Xiao Taohong was probably determined, and it would be useless no matter how she made a fuss, so she leaned gently in the Prime Minister's arms.

"Master, my love for you is so deep! Seeing you getting close to other women, I will naturally feel jealous and lose my composure. But since you insist on marrying Xiao Taohong, I will not stop you.

Anyway, she is just a servant, how can I really take her seriously? However, I hope that I will not bear children for you in the future. I wonder if the master can agree to this small request of mine?"

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister was secretly delighted and a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Haha, no problem! Madam, you are absolutely right. I am just a servant. Madam is enough to take on the important task of carrying on our family line!

Since Madam has agreed to this matter so sensibly, let the servants in the mansion quickly clean up a courtyard. As for the housekeeping matters, we still have to rely on you, Madam! Madam, please don’t take the angry words I said just now to heart! "

Liu understood the situation. She knew very well that Zhiyu was a scheming and scheming bitch. If she was allowed to develop, once she was given some power, it would be very difficult to suppress her.

"I will arrange for my servants to take care of this matter. Bring the people into the mansion tonight. The courtyard will be located next to Jinglan Garden where Aunt Lan lives. How about changing the name to Taoyuan? What do you think, Master?"

Liu smiled and spoke softly, but there was a hint of coldness in her lowered eyes. At this moment, she was secretly planning in her heart that after Xiao Taohong officially entered the mansion, she would find a suitable opportunity to eradicate her to prevent future troubles.

"That yard is also fine. It's a little shabby. You can clean it up and buy all the necessary things. The name is very good. Thank you, madam. I will ask Haoze to come back tomorrow to see your mother." The prime minister made a big promise.

Yun Haoxuan has never been close to Liu. In Liu's heart, her son is what matters most. However, after Yun Haoze became an adult, he always distanced himself from his mother.

When Liu heard that her eldest son was coming back, her mood also improved.

The prime minister did a good job in this. He understood Liu. Even though Liu doted on her daughters, all this was just to pave the way for Yun Haoze.

At dusk, a red sedan was carried in from the back door of the prime minister's residence, and sitting inside was Xiao Taohong from Zuihonglou.

Taoyuan was cleaned up and a lot of new furniture was added. It seemed that Liu was scared this time. She was really afraid that the prime minister would take away her housekeeper rights.

In the Peach Garden, the Prime Minister was dressed in red, looking very showy. He looked at the beautiful Xiao Taohong with loving eyes. Xiao Taohong looked like a lotus emerging from water, which made the Prime Minister swallow his saliva.

"Master, I have a home now. Thank you for giving me a place to stay. This glass of wine is my toast to you," Xiao Taohong said with tears in her eyes.

Her tearful look was really adorable. The prime minister took the wine glass and drank it all, then sat down with his arms around Xiao Taohong.

The servant brought a basin of water and mouthwash to serve the two. Just as the two were preparing for their wedding night, a scream from Zhiyu's maid suddenly came from outside the room.

The prime minister, who had lost interest, suddenly came to his senses, rushed out of the room with anger on his face, and kicked the maid who was kneeling on the ground.

Na Zhiyu's personal maid, Mi'er, felt as if her whole body was broken into pieces, but she still crawled to her feet, crawled to the prime minister's feet, and cried.

"Master, I deserve to die. Go check on Aunt Zhiyu. She drank a lot of wine and is trying to commit suicide with a knife. It's so scary. I know I shouldn't disturb you. But if anything happens to Aunt Zhiyu, I'm afraid you won't forgive us servants."

The prime minister still loved Zhiyu and completely forgot that this was his wedding night with Xiao Taohong, and walked quickly towards Zhiyu's yard.

The servant guarding outside the door saw the prime minister approaching from afar, and hurried into the room to report to Zhiyu. Zhiyu in the room did not look drunk at all. He nodded and then curled up an evil smile.

Zhiyu picked up the jar of wine on the table, opened it and poured it on herself. In order to make it look more realistic, she actually endured the pungent taste of the wine, took a big gulp and then spit it out.

The prime minister was extremely anxious. When he walked to the door, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. Na Zhiyu leaned against the pillar with a jar of wine in one hand, muttering, "Master, I miss you, but what can I do, I..."

The prime minister understood very well that Zhiyu was jealous, so he stepped forward to help Zhiyu up and asked the maid to wash Zhiyu.

"Master, don't go. I won't let you go. I..." The maidservant couldn't bear to hear such dirty words, and the prime minister blushed with shame.

Finally, the prime minister agreed not to leave, and Zhiyu went to wash up. She washed quickly and came out wearing a gauze dress. The prime minister's blood boiled when he saw her, and he no longer remembered the little Taohong in Taoyuan.

"You all go and have rest, the master won't come," Xiao Taohong said with a smile, but there was coldness in her eyes.

Zhiyu used all her skills to serve the prime minister until he felt comfortable and fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Zhiyu feel at ease lying beside the prime minister.
