In the side yard of Nanxi Hall, Yunzhu hurriedly ran to Yuan Qinglian's room.

"Cousin, something bad has happened, something bad has happened." Yunzhu shouted as she ran inside and almost fell.

Yuan Qinglian, who was already upset, said in an instant: "I'm fine, don't curse me here."

Yunzhu stood up and breathed carefully.

I don't understand why my cousin, who is usually very kind to others and often treats me as a sister, is so cruel today.

"I was just anxious at the moment and spoke without restraint!" Yunzhu knelt down and answered carefully.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Qinglian asked in a bad mood.

"The mothers in the front yard are discussing the matter of Madam planning to take a concubine for the Crown Prince. Madam Yan also asked the housekeepers to find out which families have girls of the right age. I heard that Madam will be selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince in the next few days." Yunzhu explained in a low voice and told Yuan Qinglian the news she had heard.

"What?" Yuan Qinglian stood up and slammed the table in anger.

"Did Madam arrange this matter on her own, or did the prince know about it and approve of it?" Yuan Qinglian asked with her last hope.

Yunzhu lowered her head, hesitating and not daring to speak.

Yuan Qinglian guessed it, but she wanted Yunzhu to tell her, urging her: "Speak, is it the prince who should give it?"

"Yes, Madam, only after getting the prince's consent... did she ask someone to look for it." Yunzhu said stutteringly.

Yuan Qinglian fell back into his chair, his face as pale as paper.

Seeing this, Yunzhu immediately stepped forward to support Yuan Qinglian: "Cousin, are you okay?"

"Get out, all of you." Yuan Qinglian pushed Yunzhu away in grief and anger, and threw the tea leaves on the table directly at her.

"Hmm!" Yunzhu groaned, tears streaming down her face in pain.

Yuan Qinglian roared and walked forward, grabbed her skirt and shook her, saying: "Do you also think I'm pitiful? I'm an abandoned woman that no one wants, and even you can't stand me, right?"

Yunzhu was frightened by Yuan Qinglian's crazy appearance. She had always been working for the prince and had never encountered such a situation.

She desperately shook her head and cried, "Cousin, I didn't, you misunderstood."

"The prince wanted to be with me forever, so what does it mean that he agreed to take a concubine?" Yuan Qinglian questioned Yunzhu as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

Yunzhu was almost frightened to death.

I was so scared that I couldn't stop shaking.

Seeing this, the maid in the outer courtyard hurriedly went to invite the prince over.

When Song Nanzhi arrived, Yuan Qinglian was sitting next to the scattered debris, looking listless and very pitiful.

Yunzhu was forced into a corner and trembled. She only dared to get up when she saw the prince asked her to leave.

After the servants left, Song Nanzhi stepped forward and picked her up from the ground, and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you doing this?"

Yuan Qinglian kept beating Song Nanzhi with both hands.

Song Nanzhi let her beat him, and when she calmed down, he hugged her and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan Qinglian looked pretty, but she was crying so hard that Song Nanzhi couldn't bear to see her.

"Why did you agree to take a concubine? Where do you want me to be?" Yuan Qinglian asked with red eyes.

Song Nanzhi told Yuan Qinglian about Liu Yueru's plan one by one.

But she didn't buy it: "Don't you always say that my sister, as the mistress of the house, has a lot of ways to do it? Why do you want to sacrifice you to accomplish this now?"

Song Nanzhi didn't know how to explain the seriousness of the situation to her.

He had no choice but to patiently comfort her, "I promise you that even if you take me as a concubine, I will not touch her. After you enter, you will just be treated as a new servant in the mansion, helping with the chores in the mansion."

Yuan Qinglian saw that Song Nanzhi would definitely take a concubine, so she had to compromise and said, "Remember what my husband said. If you can't do it, I will take Jin Ge'er away from the Marquis' Mansion, and mother and son will continue to live together."
