Chapter 566: Chapter 567 I Remember the Grudge Very_1 Chapter 566: Chapter 567 I Remember the Grudge Very_1 “Only now does this servant understand; upon entering this Mansion, my Lady is no longer the Marquise, but the Princess. I have been foolish, to only realize this truth today. Now that the Princess still wishes to give this servant an opportunity, I shall naturally bend over backwards in dedication, heeding your every command,” Bingyu gritted her teeth and said.

“You are a clever girl who, at the very least, knows to act according to the circumstances. Rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly.”

Qiao Muniang gently lifted Bingyu’s chin, examined her carefully, and then nodded with a smile, “Do you know of the Rong Family?”

Bingyu’s eyes lit up, “Is it Lady Rong’s maiden home?”

“Exactly. The eldest son of that Rong Family has not yet married. He is known for both his talents and looks, the man whom countless girls in Qinghua City yearn for. Tell me, is it better to serve as a Concubine to the Prince Heir, or to take initiative and enter the Rong Family as a Concubine first?”

Bingyu’s heart burst with joy. Though the Rong Family could not compare to the glory of Prince An Mansion, the honor of marrying into it before the mistress was indeed significant!

Even if she were to be a Concubine, her status would be different from that of other concubines.

Moreover, she had heard of Rong Liming, the eldest legitimate son of the Rong Family, as soon as she arrived in Qinghua City. The Four Young Gentlemen of the Capital were the men all the ladies in the Capital wished to marry, and Rong Liming was the man all the ladies in Qinghua City wished to marry.

Rumored to have a face fairer than jade, gentle and refined, with scholarly achievements unparalleled, a handsome gentleman, and the vast Rong Family would be in his hands one day. Naturally, he was an excellent choice.

“I will follow Lady’s instructions!” Bingyu said with barely concealed excitement, truly not expecting that after being hung out to dry by Qiao Muniang for a month, she could have such good fortune—a real stroke of luck!

“Very well, Nanny Li, take Miss Bingyu down, have her change into fresh, dry clothes, and take good care of her,” Muniang instructed.

Nanny Li quickly agreed and took Bingyu away.

Qingya watched, seeming quite indignant, “This servant knows my Lady intends to deliberately deal with that scoundrel Rong Liming, but there’s no need to give such an opportunity to that cheap little wretch. She’s someone who has seduced the Prince Heir. Now, aren’t we just letting her off easily?”

Muniang took a sip of her tea before slowly speaking, “I’ve thought it over for a long time before deciding on a way out for her. A girl sent by the Marquise, seducing the Prince Heir was her task. Even if I were to report this crime, do you think the Marquise would care? She would only think I am petty, unable to tolerate other women.”

Qingya was taken aback, “No wonder my Lady has not dealt with her until now. It’s because of this…”

“If she shamelessly flirts with other men of her own accord, naturally, it would be easier to handle.”

Qingya smiled and said, “My Lady has really thought through everything! It’s just that Bingyu is a cunning one. She might have eagerly accepted in her excitement now, but once she calms down and starts to think, she might figure out these things.”

Qingya couldn’t help but feel somewhat worried still.

“Are you afraid she’ll regret it?”

Qingya nodded, “By then, let’s hope she doesn’t outsmart us.”

Muniang sneered lightly, “She is not an idiot. What good would playing tricks on me do for her? She is my servant now; if she dares to play me, I’ll make sure she’s dead. If she’s foolish enough to this extent, then I have nothing to say. As for whether she wants to understand that or not, she’ll have to think for herself. What then if the Marquise mistakenly believes she’s seduced Mr. Rong? Either way, she belongs to the Rong family now. No matter how angry the Marquise is, she can’t control her.”

“That’s also true.”

Qingya nodded and then added, “Lady, why do you suddenly think of dealing with Rong Liming now? This servant thought you had long forgotten about it.”

Muniang gave her a glance and said, half-mockingly, “I’m very good at holding grudges. You’re giving me too much credit.”

Qingya shuddered.

“Dealing with Rong Liming is nothing. Lady Rong plotted against me and I haven’t even settled the score. She’s now painstakingly trying to win the emperor’s favor again. I just can’t let her get her way. I’ll set a fire in her backyard, and when it spreads to the Capital, she’ll know she’s provoked the wrong person!”

Muniang’s eyes suddenly turned a few shades more ruthless.

Since Huamei has chosen the Rong family as her host, she should not only enjoy the status of a noble daughter that the Rong family provides, but also face the difficulties, right? The so-called shared honor and shared disgrace mean that as long as the Rong family exists, I’m not afraid of lacking people to hold her back. Do you think I can’t reach out to you once you go to the Capital? Hmph!

About an hour later, Nanny Li brought out Bingyu, who had been dressed up and made up, to stand in front of Muniang.

Dressed in a light blue pleated skirt with a sea-green silk gauze draped over her shoulders, her hair loosely styled into a draped ponytail, and two green jade hairpins slanting across her head, her beautiful eyes glanced about, exuding an outstanding demeanor. When silent and unsmiling, her whole body radiated an aura of cool detachment.

The Lady had said she resembled Muniang the most in this regard.

Now, looking at her, Muniang could see the resemblance, which explained the girl’s confidence. She had specifically arranged for clothes and jewelry that she usually liked to be prepared for her. Mr. Rong used to like her, and although she had fooled him once, he now hated her. But what is forbidden always stirs desire; wouldn’t he be unsettled by the presence of a woman with a similar air?

“Truly a beauty in the making. I’m taken aback by you myself. Mr. Rong will naturally favor you too,” Muniang said with a smile.

But Bingyu remarked, “My Lady, if you have something for this servant to do, just say it outright. This servant knows that you wouldn’t bother finding a match for me out of all the idle things to do. This servant sees it clearly.”

Muniang laughed, “That you can be this aware shows that you do have some brains. I wasn’t planning to hide it from you anyway. You just need to do as I say, and in the end, you’ll definitely benefit from it.”

“Yes.”

From that day on, Bingyu stayed close to Muniang’s side, enjoying a status similar to Qingya’s, entering and leaving with Muniang. The entire household was baffled, having been waiting to witness Bingyu’s downfall; and yet inexplicably, the girl had turned the tables. What was the Lady thinking?

If anyone felt the most indignant and aggrieved, it was Kelan. She desperately relayed messages to Qiao Muniang, hoping to catch Bingyu red-handed in her foolish hopes, aspiring to become Qiao Muniang’s confidante. But to her dismay, not only did her own plans amount to nothing, but she actually enabled that woman to succeed! When it came to cunning and depth of plotting, Bingyu couldn’t compare to her. Now, she rose to prominence in an instant, while she herself was still toiling away as a maidservant. How could she swallow such a grievance?! What kind of bewitching potion had Bingyu fed Qiao Muniang?

That very day, a servant from Mei Garden came rushing to report to Muniang, “My Lady, a servant from the Rong family came over early this morning, saying that Mr. Rong will be entertaining guests at Mei Garden today, around noon. The private rooms have all been reserved.”
