Shortly after the New Year passed, when Ruan Xi was about to give birth, Mutaifeisuddenly wrote animperial decreewhich sent two delicate and charming beauties to Wen Ting Zhou.

懿旨(pinyin: yi zhi) – an imperial decree from a woman (who is implicitly virtuous or exemplary), typically the Empress. This term differs from 奉旨 (feng zhi) or 圣谕 (sheng yu) which explicitly comes from the Emperor himself.

Mutaifei's decree made everyone dumbstruck.

Then, someone connected it to the fact that the Mu Family's illegitimate daughter in the Fourth Prince's back courtyard had recently miscarried because of the palace maids that Ruanfeisent, and they silently pitied Ruan Xi who was on the receiving end of that anger.

Wenfuren's visage was brimming with rage.

Yet, against all reason, Mutaifei's position was above worldly considerations, and the beauties that she sent had to be accepted.

Wenlao-furenwas older than Mutaifei, but she was from the same generation as Mutaifei, and Mutaifeioccupied the elder position.

Speaking of which, Mutaifeicould technically claim a bit of familial relation with the Wen Family too.

The beauties she bestowed upon her son, were not something Wenfurencould reject. It was all the fault of the in-palace Ruanfei niangniang; she instigated the problem and now it implicated her son and daughter-in-law.

Feeling aggrieved in her heart, Wenfurencould not stop herself from throwing her anger at Ruansan niang.

"Xiao Xi, we will be wronging you for the time being." Wenfurensuppressed her ire as she comforted Ruan Xi.

And who could be certain that the beauties sent by Mutaifeididn't harbour any evil intentions?

"Popo, there's no need to worry, it is but a small thing. Husband and I will deal with this appropriately."

Similarly, she had just learned that Ruansan niang's act of sending palace maids had pitted the female protagonist, Mu Qing Ci, and caused her to miscarry.

Mutaifeishould have met Mu Qing Ci during the palace banquet, and it was more than likely that she was already quite fond of Mu Qing Ci, as seen in the novel.

Mu Qing Ci's miscarriage, made Mutaifeifly into a rage.

It was estimated that Ruansan nianghad her share of troubles, except she had the Emperor's protection, and in addition to the appearance of cement, Ruansan niang's reputation had reversed overnight, thus gaining increasing popularity among the common folk.

Mutaifeidid not dare to retaliate against her lightly.

She was probably the target that Mutaifeihad redirected her anger towards.

Ruan Xi merely needed a single thought to comprehend everything. As expected, Ruansan niangwas a time-delayed/sporadic grenade.

"Perhaps it should be left to me to handle. I'll look for an excuse to allow Mama Chen to educate them for two months first, and we'll wait until you've peacefully given birth to the child before dealing with them."

"One will be troublingPopo."

Ruan Xi did not reject it after she thought about it briefly. She did not want to place these two delicate and charming beauties in the Harmonious Dwelling either.

Her parturition was swiftly approaching; she did not want to waste her thoughts on this issue.

Once Wenfurenasked someone to inform Mama Chen to bring these two beauties away, the servants from Wenlao-furen's end arrived. There was hearsay that Wenlao-furen's condition had worsened slightly, so Wenfurenbrought her maidservants to rush to the Junzhu Residence in a hasty manner.

Just as Mamma Chen was bringing the two beauties out of Harmonious Dwelling, Wensan xiaojiestuck her foot in horizontally, and stopped Mama Chen from bringing them away.

"Mama Chen, one has heard that Mutaifeisent those two beauties to serveda ge, is it these two?Da geis truly fortunate to have these two beauties with pretty countenances to attend to him."

Wensan xiaojiesaid as her gaze glinted.

"Mama Chen, where are you planning to bring the beauties that Mutaifeibestowed uponda geto?"

Mama Chen secretly thought that this was bad, but she was still respectful on the surface as she replied: "Third Young Lady,Furenhas instructednubito educate these two beauties for a month or two before arranging them to serveDa Shaoye."

Wen Yu Wei's pupils shifted. It was not possible to allow Mama Chen to bring those people away; this was a great chance to give vexations to her eldest sister-in-law.

"Mama Chen, while it is said that Mother arranged for it, they should be allowed to meetda gefirst, don't you think so?"

The two beauties shot a grateful smile at Wen Yu Wei.

It goes without saying that they were not willing to be brought away just like this, since this was a chance for them to turn over and become masters.

Who didn't want brocade garments and jade meals?

Mama Chen scowled: "Third Young Lady, these areFuren's instructions."

"Mama Chen, if Mother blames you for this, you can say that it was my idea.

"Alright, you can go and run your errands. Leave them at the entrance of Harmonious Dwelling.Da gewill be able to catch a glimpse of them once he returns."

Wen Yu Wei chased her away with some impatience, resolute in wanting to stop Mama Chen from bringing them away.

Mama Chen's complexion sank. Even if she was underFuren's orders, the Third Young Lady was a master whilst she was slave; she had no way of forcibly bringing the two away when they had landed in the Third Young Lady's hands.

Hence, Mama Chen decided to ask for instructions from theShao Fureninside the courtyard.

In truth, Ruan Xi had already learned of Wen Yu Wei's actions from Su Yu.

Once her servants reported it, Ruan only smiled faintly, "Let her."

The weather after the New Year was quite cold. If they liked being blown by the cold winds, that was their business, Ruan Xi did not feel the slightest pity.

This was their choice.

Upon receivingShao Furen's reply, Mama Chen left, and Wen Yu Wei smiled in satisfaction.

The two delicate and charming beauties revealed joy on their faces.

Then, Wen Yu Wei dispatched her servants to send hand-warming stoves because these were people that were supposed to repulse her eldest sister-in-law. What was she going to do if they suffered from the cold?

After giving a few lines of instructions, Wen Yu Wei swiftly departed on light feet with her younger and older maidservants.

Before Wen Ting Zhou returned to the residence, someone had informed him of this matter, hence a ball of fire was already accumulating inside him as he rushed back to the residence, his heart burning with anxiety. Therefore, when he saw the two delicate and charming beauties who were pitiful and pleading for affection as they trembled from the cold, his handsome face sank down instantaneously.

"Zhang Qing, get rid of these two road-blocking slave girls now."

"Yes,Shaoye!"

Zhang Qing responded in a deferential manner before he immediately beckoned two coarse labour Mamas.

The flowery countenances of the two delicate and charming beauties turned pale in disbelief simultaneously upon hearing that order.

They were sent by Mutaifeito serve Wendaren, they were not lowly slave girls.

"Wendaren, we are not slave girls, we are acting under Mutaifei's orders to come and serveDaren, to helpDarencontinuously bear sons, thus opening up the branches and scattering the leaves."

Beauty A had a slender figure and dainty demeanour. Her entrancing eyes were staring at Wen Ting Zhou's handsome visage fixedly, and her voice was akin to oriole's warble, melodious and sweet-sounding.

However, her words were anything but pleasant to the ears.

Zhang Qing's lips twitched.

"That's right, Wendaren, we are under Mutaifei's orders to attend to you." Beauty B chimed in with a delicately timid tone.

"Zhang Qing, send them to a farmstead!"

Wen Ting Zhou's gaze was sharp and deep, imposing manner oppressive, and his tone of voice ice-cold.

Ever since he entered the court and became an official, Wen Ting Zhou appeared to be mild and gentle as always, but the reality was that he was forceful, harsh, and cold. If that were not the case, he would not have sat on the position of the Minister of the Board of Punishments in the future.

The two beauties' complexion paled instantaneously. They wanted to bring out Mutaifeiagain, but when they saw Wen Ting Zhou's chilling and bone-piercing glare, their hearts shuddered. Not daring to make another sound, they were brought away by the servants while feeling aggrieved.

With a sunken expression and worry for Ruan Xi swelling in his heart, Wen Ting Zhou stepped into the bedroom of Harmonious Dwelling in quick strides.

Currently, Ruan Xi was drinking her steaming hot chicken soup in small mouthfuls. When she heard the familiar-sounding footsteps and realised that Wen Ting Zhou had returned, Ruan Xi gave him a mischievous smirk.

"Husband, have you seen the two beauties outside the courtyard?"

Wen Ting Zhou: "……"

"Yes, they've been sent to a farmstead."

Ruan Xi was overjoyed in her heart; she liked the fact that Wen Ting Zhou was straightforward and resolute when dealing with other women.

After her happiness passed, Ruan Xi asked hesitantly:

"Will this agitate Mutaifei?"

Wen Ting Zhou sidled up to Ruan Xi and sat down, while Su Yu quickly offered the tea and retreated to the side.

"Ruan Ruan, you don't need to worry, they're just two palace maids. Regardless of how angry Mutaifeiwill be, it's not like she can do anything about the Wen Family, can she?"

Wen Ting Zhou said rather casually after he picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Thanks to Ruansan niang, the Emperor's current reputation among the common folk were exceedingly high.

Whereas the Mu Family did not have a good reputation.

Most importantly, the late Emperor's parting imperial decree which was once in Mutaifei's possession had already been found, and it had landed in the Emperor's hands.

Once Spring began, they would start settling the debts with the Mu Family.
