Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

The moonlight shines through the sparse clouds, and mottled light and shadows are cast on the bluestone slabs of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, creating a deep and mysterious atmosphere.

Wu Yazhixi was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walking angrily on the corridor, and every step seemed extremely heavy. Her maid Xiaomei followed closely behind her, holding a lantern in her hand, the dim light swaying in the night, trying her best to illuminate the way forward for her master.

"Xiaomei, do you think this Li Gege is against me? I thought I could serve the Fourth Master before Nianhulu tonight, but unexpectedly she cut me off!" There was some reluctance and anger in Wu Yazhixi's voice, and her face looked particularly gloomy in the light of the lantern.

Xiaomei carefully looked around and confirmed that no one was around before she whispered, "Master, Li Gege just revealed tonight that she is pregnant. This is a big event in the mansion, so we should avoid it for now. There are many people in the mansion, and if you say this and it gets to other people's ears, it might cause trouble."

Wu Yazhixi heard this, but she did not subside her anger. Instead, she became more excited and said, "What are you afraid of? Am I, Wu Yazhixi, afraid of her? She is an old man in the mansion, but she doesn't know how to give way to us newcomers. How can she snatch my favor?"

Seeing Wu Yazhixi's agitation, Xiaomei was secretly anxious. She knew her young lady's temper very well. Once she got angry, no one could stop her.

So she could only continue to persuade patiently: "Miss, calm down. The affairs in this mansion are complicated, and we can't just act out of anger. Please be patient for a while, and when the storm has passed, it won't be too late for us to find an opportunity."

After hearing this, although Wu Yazhixi was still dissatisfied, she also knew that Xiaomei was right.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and said bitterly, "Okay, I'll listen to you for now. Let's go back to the yard to avoid getting into trouble here."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace and walked towards her yard. Seeing this, Xiaomei also quickened her pace to catch up.

The two walked one after the other on the corridor. The night breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not blow away the anger in Wu Yazhixi's heart.

Back in the yard, Wu Yazhixi pushed open the door and sat heavily on the chair.

Xiaomei hurried forward to help her undress, and at the same time comforted her softly: "Miss, please don't be angry. No one can predict what will happen in this mansion. Maybe the Fourth Master will remember you in a few days."

Wu Yazhixi heard this but did not say anything. She just sat there silently, the anger in her heart still burning fiercely.

She knew that she couldn't just give up and had to find a way to regain the favor of the Fourth Master. However, facing the newly favored Li Gege, what should she do?

Niu Hulu Qingran returned to the courtyard. Under the light, her expression was complex and subtle. She walked to the couch and sat down gracefully, but she was still thinking about Wu Yazhixi's figure that she had just seen by the water.

Thinking of Wu Yazhixi's anxious and eager look, Niu Hulu Qingran raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

She whispered to herself, "Wu Ya Zhixi, you are such a pitiful and ridiculous person. You actually lost your composure over such a small matter. Did she really think that as long as she waited by the water, Yinzhen would suddenly appear and be moved by her infatuation?"

Niu Hulu Qingran shook her head, and felt amused at Wu Yazhixi's stupidity. She knew very well that in this backyard, if she wanted to win Yinzhen's favor, it was far from enough to just be infatuated. What was needed was wisdom, scheming, and a calm demeanor.

She thought calmly: "Wu Ya Zhixi, just perform your infatuation in front of everyone. In this way, everyone's attention will be focused on you, and I will have the opportunity to quietly win Yinzhen's favor. By doing this, you are actually helping me."

Thinking of this, Nianhulu Qingran felt proud. She stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bright moon outside. She knew that the woman favored by Yinzhen would never be a woman who would only wait infatuatedly like Wu Yazhixi. What she had to do was to use her wisdom and charm to attract Yinzhen's attention and win his heart.
