As night fell, a graceful figure quietly walked into the hall. Everyone looked at her and was shocked to find that the visitor was the hostess of Bei Minghou’s mansion - A Zi.

She walked alone without any attendants, and her steps carried a majesty that could not be ignored.

As she stepped over the threshold, she first bowed to the old man in the hall, then sat down directly, her eyes fixed on Zhang Chunru.

Zhang Chunru was furious, but more of it was confusion and resentment. She didn't understand why her brother was so afraid of this woman. Facing Ah Zi's questioning, she snorted coldly, turned her head away, and didn't want to say more.

This scene made Zhang Sima, who was present, extremely anxious. He hurried forward and apologized on her behalf: "Madam, please calm down. It was my poor discipline that made her so rude." After that, he looked at Zhang Chunru sternly and ordered: "Why don't you apologize to your madam quickly?"

There was an unyielding light in Zhang Chunru's eyes, and she retorted angrily: "Why should I apologize to her? If it weren't for her, how could I have fallen into this situation today?" There was endless resentment and anger in her voice, as if she wanted to pour out all her dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhang's face turned pale. He knew very well that the wife of Marquis Bei Ming was of noble status and was not someone who could be easily offended.

Madam A Zi just smiled slightly, as if she had seen through it all. "Master Sima, you don't need to blame your sister. I was just joking with her that day, and I never thought she would take it so seriously. Since she is already living in the mansion, she is a guest. How can she still talk about concubines? I will handle this matter properly and will not let outsiders laugh at me."

However, Zhang Chunru did not appreciate it. She stared at Ah Zi coldly and said in a resolute tone: "Don't try to cover up for me hypocritically! I know everything you said and did. Although you can stop people from talking, you can't stop me! Outsiders may not believe what I say, but as the person involved, I will be believed by others!"

Ah Zi couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.

She shook her head slightly, as if she was helpless about Zhang Chunru's stubbornness: "You are quite interesting, girl. In this case, I will give you a chance. Stay in my house for two days, and I will personally host a banquet for you. How about it?"

Zhang Chunru snorted coldly and looked down on him: "The weasel is paying a New Year's visit to the chicken, it has no good intentions! You'd better forget it!" Her attitude was firm and indifferent, as if she was full of hostility towards A Zi's invitation.

Ah Zi yawned, and seemed a little tired of this late-night farce. "Forget it, since you all don't want to rest, let's do this. Sima Zhang, you need to personally send your sister to my Beiming Hou Mansion within an hour. Don't worry, I won't embarrass her, I just want to teach her some principles of life."

Upon hearing this, Sima Zhang turned pale as paper. He knew A Zi's methods and wisdom very well and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

He nodded quickly in agreement, with beads of sweat clearly visible on his forehead.

Zhang Chunru on the side puffed up her cheeks and looked reluctant: "Brother, I won't go!" There was a bit of coquettishness and stubbornness in her voice.

Ah Zi smiled slightly, with wisdom glittering in her eyes: "She is not sensible, but you are sensible. Sir Sima, sometimes appropriate sacrifice and concession are for greater interests and peace. Do you understand?"

Zhang Sima felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He knew what Ah Zi meant, and he also knew that he had to make a choice. He took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand." His voice was low and firm, as if he had made up his mind.

A Zi nodded with satisfaction, then she glanced at Yun Xi indifferently: "Young Madam, please take me out." Yun Xi quickly stood up and agreed: "Madam, please follow me." The two walked out of the hall side by side.

In the darkness of the night, A Zi and Yun Xi walked side by side.

Madam A Zi opened her red lips and said, "Girl, you are really good at doing things. It's obviously your business, but you let me be the bad guy." There was a hint of ridicule and appreciation in her tone.

Yun Xi's heart trembled slightly when she heard this.

She knew that A Zi was not really blaming her but was acknowledging her abilities.

She quickly explained, "Madam, you are wronged. The matter was complicated and unpredictable and I cannot solve it alone. Madam's actions today are not only a lesson to Miss Zhang, but also a warning to Sima Zhang, and also for the peace of the Marquis's Mansion. I am very grateful."

Upon hearing this, A Zi smiled slightly and seemed quite satisfied with Yun Xi's answer.

She gently patted the back of Yun Xi's hand to show encouragement: "You are indeed a smart person. I will need you to take care of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

The two continued walking until they sent Ah Zi to the gate of the mansion. Before leaving, the wife of Bei Minghou asked Yun Xi to visit her mansion tomorrow, and Yun Xi said she would definitely go.
