Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter (PART 2)

Chapter 435-436

Chapter 435 Who Is the Empress Dowager’s Ke’er

However, she did not expect that Consort Chu would jump up before anything happened to Mo Xuetong. Furthermore, she even seemed to have scolded Consort Yu as well. Also, Consort Yu’s behavior was also very different from her usual arrogant self.

Consort Zhao was not a rash person. She calmed herself down and watched carefully how the Empress Dowager was going to deal with this. She took a sip of tea and spectated calmly.

“Rui’er, Yuxuan complained to me that he has tired you out. He asked me to find someone to handle the matters of the back courtyard with you. He even praised you for being gracious and sensible. He told me that the Ling family had had a good daughter.” The Empress Dowager said with a benevolent smile. She knew that if Ling Rui’er did not agree to it today, then the matter would have to halt here.

Feng Yuxuan had asked for it? Ling Rui’er was stunned. She felt annoyed and happy. She bit her lip and did not speak.

She was annoyed. How could he say something like this to the Empress Dowager? What could she say now? She was also glad that he praised her before the Empress Dowager. She could see that he truly liked her. Even so, why must he say something like that to the Empress Dowager? Didn’t he know that it would make her sad?

What could she say now? What would others think of her if she continued to disagree?

Would they say that she was not gracious enough, not virtuous enough, or would they say that the daughters of the Ling family did not have the magnanimity of a legal wife?

Anyway, Ling Rui’er knew that those were not words she could say.

However, she felt so aggrieved. Everything was going great, and how could she allow another woman to join her household and steal her husband? Even though Feng Yuxuan had other women previously, they were all women who could not appear in public. The only one who could appear in public was a second consort. However, she was not favored. Feng Yuxuan had told her that she could hit the woman, scold the woman, or even sell her.

However, these people were different. They were all from good families and it would be a marriage decreed by the Empress Dowager. How could the back courtyard stay peaceful? She truly did not wish for another woman to enter the manor.

Ling Rui’er found it hard to move forward or backward. She gritted her teeth and did not open her mouth. She was in such a turmoil that she started to sweat.

“Sister-in-law Chu, Her Majesty truly dotes on you. Why don’t you thank the Empress Dowager?” Someone who was unaware of the situation said softly.

Ling Rui’er looked up and was so angry she wanted to faint. It was the little idiot Mo Xuetong. Any smart person knew that if she agreed, King Xuan’s Manor and King Yan’s Manor would be next to welcome new second consorts. The little idiot did not know anything and was still trying to convince her to accept a second consort.

Ling Rui’er felt the anger rushing up to her chest as she looked at the innocent and naive look on Mo Xuetong’s face. The anger would not dissipate and she wanted to rage at Mo Xuetong. She had a sudden epiphany and thought of the plot against Mo Xuetong. A hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes. Since she was going to make trouble anyway, she might as well make a bigger fuss lest the Empress Dowager plotted and meddled with matters in her manor.

She turned around and gestured to a maid standing behind her.

The maid backed away and stood in front of a palace maid standing inside Cining Palace. She lowered her head and made a sound. The palace maid did not say anything and left.
