Ye Zhen left with Aunt Cheng. Her cheeks were still burning with pain, but she was not angry at all. She was waiting for Lu Wushuang's slap.
Women don't have to be brave blindly. Sometimes, being weak can get unexpected results.
Lu Wushuang was so willful and unruly in front of Mo Rongzhan, which would certainly make him more suspicious of her. However, this slap was not to win sympathy in front of this man. She wanted to return to the Lu family with this slap and let Old Madam Lu and Lu Lingzhi know that she had suffered grievances in the palace.
Ye Zhen was now able to get along with Lu Lingzhi calmly and rationally, and was able to act as his cousin very well. From the initial impulse and resentment to today's slap by Lu Wushuang, Ye Zhen had never understood a truth so clearly.
If she wanted revenge, she could only rely on the Lu family and Lu Lingzhi for the time being.
By relying on Lu Lingzhi's position in the court and the identity of the Lu family's daughter, she could go further and get everything she wanted.
Didn't Lu Lingzhi do the same? He had disguised himself so well that he had deceived her trust. At the last moment, he had even taken away her most precious jade pendant and dealt her a fatal blow. She could have learned his methods and obtained Lu Lingzhi's love and trust. Then, at the last appropriate moment, she would reveal her sharp sword.
As for how to gain Lu Lingzhi's trust and love, she would have to start with the slap on her face.
It was because of Lu Lingzhi's love that Lu Wushuang got the status she had today and robbed her of what belonged to her. Now, Ye Zhen wanted to take away Lu Wushuang's most precious things little by little.
"Aunt Cheng, can you take me to … wash my face first? It's not good for me to see the Empress Dowager now." Ye Zhen was glad that she entered the palace today. Otherwise, she would not have such a clear and profound consciousness.
After her rebirth, she had never been so clear about what she should do next and how to face Lu Lingzhi and Lu Wushuang who had become her family.
Aunt Cheng looked at Ye Zhen and understood what she meant. She smiled and nodded. "Third Miss Lu, please come with this slave."
She had seen Princess Qin several times before. That beautiful girl was different from the other girls in the Ye Family. She was also very kind to her servant. At that time, because the Empress Dowager's status in the palace was relatively low, Princess Qin always secretly sent things to the Empress Dowager although she did not go to the palace to pay her respects. She was very considerate and filial. The Empress Dowager always praised Princess Qin in front of her.
If Princess Qin didn't come from the Ye Family … How good would that be? The Emperor had a deep grudge against the Ye Family and refused to accept Princess Qin. Originally, the Empress Dowager wanted to wait for the Emperor to come back and explain to him that Princess Qin wasn't the unruly and willful woman he thought she was. Unfortunately, there was no chance.
Aunt Cheng sighed in her heart. She did not expect that Third Miss Lu not only looked like Princess Qin, but also had a similar temperament. She was much better than Lu Wushuang.
Ye Zhen was taken to a room. Aunt Cheng personally brought her a basin of water and rouge. She patted her cheeks with water and then applied a new layer of rouge.
However, her skin was white. Lu Wushuang's slap was full of force. No matter how she covered it with rouge, it couldn't cover the swelling.
Of course, she didn't mean to cover it. She just put on a show for Aunt Cheng.
Aunt Cheng tried to persuade her. "Third Miss Lu, the Empress Dowager is still waiting for you to go back."
In fact, even if she covered the palm print, how could the Empress Dowager not know that she was beaten by Imperial Concubine Lu? She had already suffered grievances, but she still wanted to cover up for Imperial Concubine Lu.
Ye Zhen looked at Aunt Cheng awkwardly and reluctantly put down the rouge in her hand. "Aunt Cheng, do I look ugly like this?"
Aunt Cheng laughed, her heart softened because of the naive words. "Third Miss Lu is a natural beauty. You are not ugly no matter how you look at it."
"Really?" Ye Rou's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled. In an instant, the worry on her face disappeared.
Aunt Cheng thought that this little girl was really naive. If it were someone else, she would have cried in front of the Empress Dowager and complained about her grievances.
"Third Miss Lu, let's go." Aunt Cheng said with a smile.
Ye Zhen patted her cheek, which was not red and swollen, and smiled at Aunt Cheng. "Okay."
In the main hall, the eldest princess and Liu Hua had not left yet. They were talking to the Empress Dowager, completely ignoring Old Madam Lu who was next to them. The Empress Dowager took the initiative to talk to Old Madam Lu several times, but she did not want to be left out. This made the eldest princess even more displeased.
"Old Madame Lu is so lucky. Which granddaughter of hers isn't simple? I wonder if the Lu family has some kind of method for girls. Whether it is Imperial Concubine Lu or Third Miss Lu, they are better than those girls from proper aristocratic families. They really have some tricks." Seeing that the Empress Dowager seemed to value Old Madame Lu more, the Eldest Princess's face became gloomier than before.
Old Madam Lu smiled faintly. "How can the ladies of the Lu Clan compare to those from prestigious families? We are just a little more hardworking than others so that those who look down on us will know that we are not to be bullied by anyone, nor are we to be won by anyone who wants to bet with us."
How could one enter a women's college without some strength? Princess Liu Hua opened a bet to slap the Lu family's face. Now that she was ruthlessly beaten by Yao Yao, who would dare to say that the Lu family's girls were inferior to others?
The eldest princess was stabbed in her sore spot. When she thought of the tens of thousands of silver she had recently lost, her heart ached with anger. If it weren't for Lu Yaoyao, she would not have to lose face.
"Isn't it just the daughter of a merchant …" The eldest princess snorted coldly.
The Empress Dowager's face darkened. "Enough! Eldest princess, why did you come to the palace today to see me? "
Can't I enter the palace for no reason? The eldest princess snorted coldly in her heart. She looked down on the Empress Dowager's birth, but the Empress Dowager was the emperor's biological mother. Even if she didn't respect the Empress Dowager, she couldn't give her the face she used to. "Empress Dowager, I want to ask, when will you arrange for Liu Hua to enter the palace?"
Old Madam Lu snickered in her heart. Listening to the eldest princess's tone, there was no respect for the Empress Dowager at all. What was her status? Did she want to question the Empress Dowager?
The Empress Dowager said faintly, "Ai jia has already mentioned it to the Emperor. As for how the Emperor will arrange it, it depends on the Emperor's opinion."
Liu Hua, who was standing behind the eldest princess, bit her lip with some grievance.
As early as a few years ago, she fell in love with the Emperor. At that time, if it weren't for Ye Zhen's shameless request for a marriage, she would have been the Empress by now.
The eldest princess frowned. She wanted to ask the Empress Dowager to urge the Emperor again, but then she saw Aunt Cheng coming back with Ye Zhen.
