Melo has something to say: I'm having problems with schedule again. So unfortunately, we will be back to one update per week until I can clear this up. I barely have time to write these days and I'm really struggling but fighting!


The play that Mo Zhilan directed was effective. Before the sun rose, Long Sangyu made a grand exit.

Her Highness, the Princess' attendants saw how badly bruised her body was when they served her to bathe and change clothes. Her stature was already short and now seeing her full of bruises, it made people's hearts ache.

Servants in huge houses like this didn't have many ways to pass time. One of them was gossiping about the nobles they served. Soon enough, word got out about how awful the Prince treated his primary wife.

All of these reached Zhang Yunlei's ears. He let go of the unease he was feeling these days. He turned and ordered a servant to let the kitchen prepare a sumptuous meal for lunch later.

Just as the servant left, a person entered the room. "This slave is late on congratulating the Concubine."

It was none other than Eunuch Jiang. Zhang Yunlei's informant and link to the Empress. This eunuch had been gone since he forged the Prince's letter.

The concubine really didn't like this eunuch but he had no choice but to treat the him with courtesy.

"You flatter me."

"Her Majesty greatly commends you and the rewards will be sent to your family immediately."

That was what Zhang Yunlei cared for. For his father to be given an official rank, he risked it all. For the Prince to be given recognition, he bore this responsibility.

He was prepared for His Highness to resent him for quite some time but he was pleasantly surprised to find Long Sangyu appreciating his work. Concubine Zhang had grown more fond of him these days.

As for other distracting thoughts... Zhang Yunlei's eyes flashed. He recently got news that Si Wen, the jianghu man that kept seducing him, was missing and someone seemed to have wiped out his whole sect.

But the concubine he had a tryst with only felt relieved by this news. This meant that Si Wen wouldn't bother him anymore and it also showed that the dog wasn't comparable to His Highness one bit.

Even though the towering tree that Long Sangyu relied on fell, this was his time to shine and reveal his skills to the world.

The future he envisioned was just around the corner. He had no doubts that he would push through.

"Come, let's deliver snacks to His Highness."

It became a norm in the Prince Manor that Concubine Zhang could enter and exit Junwang's study at will. They also didn't block him from giving food to His Highness.

In these people's eyes, the Prince loved this concubine so much, the punishment wouldn't be small if they dared to make him unhappy.

Back in Iris Courtyard...

"Your Highness, that person in Blue Magnolia went off to the study again." A dowry maid from the Mo family muttered begrudgingly.

Mo Zhilan was staring at a go board and was distracted by the whining voice but she had always been timid and was never one to scold servants.

She merely lifted her gaze away from the board and stretched her hand to the snacks bowl. However, it was empty. She giggled in a low voice.

Her body's habits were still honest. Back in the Mo mansion, she would never lack anything. She would be lying if she said she didn't feel the littlest discomfort.
