I died tragically in my previous life, and I want to be an empress in my next life

"How outrageous!" Pei Zhixuan could no longer suppress her anger when she saw Cui Yue'e being taken away by Lin Ruyin. She pointed at them angrily and cursed loudly.

Pei Zhixuan pondered in her heart that Cui Yue'e was young and beautiful. If Cui Yue'e really married her father and gave birth to a child for the Pei family, not only would the concubine not be able to become the first wife, but her life in the future would also be difficult.

If the concubine cannot be made the legitimate wife, she will have to bear the title of a concubine's daughter for the rest of her life. Although the prince does not like Pei Zhiyan, he has to give her the position of the principal wife because she is the legitimate daughter of the Pei family. If the prince ascends to the throne in the future, wouldn't the position of the mistress of the harem also belong to Pei Zhiyan?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

But Lin Ruyin didn't give her any chance at all. She pretended not to hear anything, held Cui Yue'e's hand tightly, and left quickly.

Pei Zhixuan was furious at this moment, and shouted to the maids and servants beside her, "Stop them!"

The maids and old women were stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and quickly chased after Lin Ruyin and Cui Yue'e, surrounding them.

At this moment, a roar came over, "What are you doing in broad daylight?"

Everyone turned around and saw a woman named Xue walking towards them from a distance, with a serious and unfriendly look on her face.

Mother Xue frowned, looking at the chaotic scene, and asked loudly, "What happened? Why are you making a fuss in public?"

Seeing that it was Madam Xue coming over, Xiao Cui stepped forward and said, "Madam Xue, these two are the young ladies from the General's Mansion and Minister Cui's Mansion. They are disrespectful to my concubine!"

Lin Ruyin snorted coldly, "Humph! What do you mean by disrespectful? Is this how guests are treated in Prince Jing's Mansion? The guest wants to leave, but we have to force him to stay?"

When Madam Xue heard that they were the young ladies from the General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion, she took a closer look and recognized Lin Ruyin. She hurried forward and said, "It turned out to be Miss Lin and Miss Cui. The servants in the mansion were too rude just now. Please don't be offended, young ladies!"

Lin Ruyin shook her sleeves, pulled Cui Yue'e and turned to leave.

Pei Zhixuan was unwilling to let them go. She sneered, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes, "How can you trample on the rules of Prince Jing's Mansion? Do you think you are powerful enough to show off in Prince Jing's Mansion?"

Xiao Cui and the maids and servants were still surrounding the two of them.

What a tactless person, actually causing trouble for Prince Jing's Mansion, Mother Xue cursed in her heart, she stepped forward to persuade, "You two young ladies are both people of status, how could you not know the rules, my concubine misunderstood you two young ladies today, please forgive me."

Pei Zhixuan opened her mouth to say something, but Mother Xue gave her a fierce look, so she had to give up.

Lin Ruyin snorted coldly, then turned and left with Cui Yue'e.

Seeing Lin Ruyin and Cui Yue'e leave like this, Xiao Cui was a little unwilling, "Mother Xue, you don't know how arrogant these two young ladies were in front of the concubine just now."

Mother Xue glared at her coldly and warned her, "Everyone who comes to the palace is an honored guest. If you treat an honored guest badly, can you, as a servant, bear the consequences?"

Xiao Cui was frightened by Mother Xue's serious attitude and dared not speak, so she quickly retreated.

Mother Xue continued, "The concubine is so kind that she indulges you servants without any rules. Remember your identities. If you do it again, I will report it to the princess and sell you out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Pei Zhixuan's face turned pale and blue. It seemed that Mother Xue was talking about Xiao Cui, but in fact she was criticizing her.

She thought bitterly in her heart that Madam Xue, a servant, could actually beat her up, but she didn't dare to say anything. It was all the fault of that bitch Pei Zhiyan. Not only did she disgust her in the palace, but she also had her hands so long that she even interfered in the Pei Mansion's family affairs!

"Okay, stop embarrassing yourself here and go back!" Pei Zhixuan said to Xiao Cui angrily, then turned and left. Xiao Cui hurriedly followed her.

Mother Xue snorted coldly and looked at Pei Zhixuan's departing back. What a worrying thing! Prince Jing is in need of people right now, and she offended the General's Mansion and the Shangshu Mansion at will. Isn't this obviously causing trouble for Prince Jing?

On the way back in the carriage, Liu told Cui Yue'e about what happened at the Pei Mansion. Cui Yue'e then suddenly realized where Pei Zhixuan's hostility came from.

It is said that Pei Zhixuan is the concubine's daughter of the prime minister's mansion. If she became the mistress of the prime minister's mansion, she would have to respectfully call herself mother, so she would naturally dislike her.

"Mom, but Prime Minister Pei is already a middle-aged man." Cui Yue'e frowned and pouted, "He is old enough to be my father."

After hearing what Cui Yue'e said, Liu sighed silently and said, "What are you talking about? Mother knows that Prime Minister Pei is indeed a little old, but you are not young anymore. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to get married. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a family like this in the future."

"Although you will be a successor if you marry him, Prime Minister Pei has no legitimate sons and only a few concubines in the backyard. You will have less troubles. The Pei family is also well-known in the capital. If you marry him, you will be a proper prime minister's wife. This is better than marrying into a small family."

"But, my daughter met Prince Jing's concubine in the garden of Prince Jing's mansion today. She was not an easy person to get along with. If it weren't for Miss Lin's quick reaction, my daughter would probably be in trouble today." Cui Yue'e said with a frown.

"How can a married daughter like her manage her father's affairs in the backyard?" Liu gently patted the back of Cui Yue'e's hand. "Besides, this matter was arranged by Princess Jing. With Princess Jing's support, what do you have to worry about?"

"This matter is not settled yet. I will go back and discuss it with your father. After reporting back to Princess Jing, I will arrange for you to meet with Prime Minister Pei. If you are satisfied, then you can make a decision."

Cui Yue'e lowered her head and thought silently. After a long time, she sighed softly and nodded.

After seeing everyone off, Pei Zhiyan sat quietly in the house drinking tea. Judging from what Liu said today, this matter should be almost certain to happen. It all depends on Cui Yue'e's decision after meeting her father.

Even if Cui Yue'e and my father can't get along, it doesn't matter. There are still Li Yue'e and Zhang Yue'e in the capital. I don't believe that there is no one who can fail to please my father.

Just as she was thinking about it, Yinping came to report, "Miss, Manager Yu is here."

Pei Zhiyan sat up straight, straightened her dress, and then said slowly, "Let him in."
