I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 258: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 04

The meaning of this statement is very clear. You suspect that there is something hidden behind Li Gege's premature birth.

But she was also pregnant during that time, and all the affairs in the mansion were handed over to the people below her, so Li Gege's premature birth had nothing to do with her.

If there is any connection, it is between Yinzhen and the people around Li Gege. Yinzhen is the father of the child in Li Gege's belly, and he would not harm his own child.

The people around Li Gege included those she brought into the mansion when she entered it, as well as the people already in the mansion.

Most of the people in the mansion were from bondservant families, and my mother was from a bondservant family. So if you suspect there is a hidden story, it is most likely that it was done by a bondservant family. Everyone knows that Defei and the fourth prince Yinzhen have a bad relationship, so it is very likely that my mother did it to express her dissatisfaction with Yinzhen.

Although this reason is a bit far-fetched and one person may not believe it, but if many people say it, then three people will make it a tiger and people will always doubt it.

How will my mother deal with it then?

Yu Ludai was reminding her that if she was blamed for this matter, she would not be able to get away with it.

Defei obviously understood. She snorted coldly and didn't say anything more about it.

After a series of failures, Concubine De was in a very bad mood and she was too impatient to talk to Yu Ludai.

"Yinzhen is not here, and the palace is busy. I won't keep you here. You can go back."

Yu Ludai didn't care about Defei's bad attitude.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law still has things to deal with at home, so I will leave now."

Walking out of Yonghe Palace, Yu Ludai walked slowly on the palace road. She knew that Concubine De would not tolerate today's confrontation and she would definitely express her dissatisfaction.

But it doesn’t matter. When she decided to take a tough stance against Concubine De, she was already prepared.

Her reputation will not be destroyed by Concubine De.

When she first came to this world and had not yet entered the palace to meet Concubine De, she used her plant powers to find out who the palace maids and eunuchs belonged to, and then compiled a list and placed it in her space.

She was born into the Ulanara clan, and her mother was a princess among the clan members, so she had some connections in the palace.

Yu Ludai took the opportunity to let them drink the drops of loyalty, and then gave them the list of Defei's people. In this way, slowly Defei's people also drank her drops of loyalty, and the same was true for the people in Defei's palace.

On the surface, these people are Concubine De's people, but in fact they have become her people.

What Defei didn't know was that except for herself and Nanny Qian who was by her side, everyone else in her palace was Yu Ludai's people, so as long as Yu Ludai wanted, he could get rid of Defei at any time.

As expected, not long after Yu Ludai returned home, he learned about Concubine De's next move.

Yu Ludai sneered. Since she wanted to play, she had no control over who would suffer in the end.

Defei's idea was that she wanted everyone to know that her daughter-in-law Yu Ludai was disrespectful to her mother and did not know the difference between superiors and subordinates. She just asked Yu Ludai to wait in front of the main hall for a while and see her when she got up. However, she did not expect that Yu Ludai would take advantage of the fact that she gave birth to Yinzhen's eldest son to give her a cold shoulder and express her dissatisfaction in her words.

This creates a pitiful character who is bullied by his daughter-in-law.

If this happens, Yu Ludai's reputation will be ruined, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among the emperor and Yinzhen, then Yu Ludai's life will be difficult in the future.

She had good intentions, but after the news got out, things turned out to be somewhat different from what she had imagined.

People in the palace soon found out that Concubine De didn't like her daughter-in-law Ulanara Yuludai very much, so she deliberately made Yuludai kneel in the sun under the pretext of taking a rest.

It had only been a short time since Yu Ludai gave birth, and in order to successfully give birth to Honghui, she almost lost her life and could not give birth again.

Not only did Concubine De show no mercy, she also deliberately tortured others.

I heard that the Fourth Lady knelt for a long time and Concubine De did not come out. It was not until the Fourth Lady fainted from heatstroke that Concubine De allowed her to go to the side hall to rest.

The people in the palace believed in such rumors without a doubt. After all, they were spread by the eunuchs and maids in Concubine De's palace.

The current emperor has many concubines, and some of them need to sleep in a large dormitory. Although Defei is one of the four concubines, there are still other concubines living in her palace.

Everyone in Yonghe Palace said so, and it was obvious that the Fourth Lady's embarrassment at that time was seen by everyone in the palace.

They all saw it with their own eyes, so it couldn't be fake.

There were many conflicts among the four concubines. After knowing what Concubine De had done, they all expressed concern, but in fact they were adding insult to injury and mocking and ridiculing her.

"De Fei, we all know that you like the Fourteenth Prince. It's understandable that you are distant from the Fourth Prince, but how can you have the heart to torture someone as gentle and filial as the Fourth Lady?"

"Yes, the Fourth Lady just gave birth to a child not long ago. We are all women, how can you not understand and forgive her?"

"The concubines in the palace all know that Concubine De is gentle, generous and kind, but now I feel that Concubine De is different from the rumors."

These words made Defei's face turn pale and blue.

Every time Defei left Yonghe Palace, she would be laughed at by the other concubines as expected. Defei also thought about suppressing the rumors, but Yuludai's people were powerful and the three concubines also added fuel to the fire, so not only did she fail to suppress it, but the fire burned more and more fiercely.

Soon, the emperor also knew about this matter. He didn't believe it at first, so he asked people to investigate it carefully. Then he found out that the rumor was true and that Concubine De really did deliberately torture the Fourth Lady.

The emperor was very disappointed. In his heart, he had always regarded Concubine De as someone he trusted. She was very caring, obedient, and gentle to him, but now...

He just felt that he was cheated, but after all, she gave birth to six children for him, so he couldn't blame her.

But on the one hand, this matter caused a big stir and she couldn't pretend to be ignorant of it. On the other hand, he was also expressing his dissatisfaction, so he rewarded Yu Ludai with a lot of good things as a comfort, and the three concubines followed suit.

In an instant, Concubine De was completely disgraced.

The emperor and other concubines have all taken action, which is actually the final word. No matter how much she explains, it will be useless and people will only think that she does not know her mistakes.

Maybe the emperor will be even more dissatisfied with her.

There was no other way, she could only ask the people around her to give some good things to Yu Ludai, her daughter-in-law. She was angry in her heart, but the emperor and other concubines were watching, so she couldn't do anything. So she could only endure it for now, comforting herself that a little impatience would ruin a big plan, and she would deal with Yu Ludai later.

After this incident, she and her daughter-in-law Yu Ludai had a complete feud with each other.

Regarding giving something to Yu Ludai this time, she could only deceive herself that it was not an apology, but a reward from her to Yu Ludai.

Yu Ludai accepted all the rewards from the palace and put them all in the warehouse. There were even so many that she had to open another warehouse.

Looking at the box full of goodies, Yu Ludai felt very happy.

This time, not only did Defei fail to achieve her goal, she also suffered a lot of losses.

With Yu Ludai's action this time, no matter what Concubine De does, she will be the unlucky one.

If she didn't apologize to Yu Ludai, others would think she didn't know she was wrong. If she gave it to him, others would think she was guilty, and the rumors would become even more true.
