When Liu heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Let's just wait quietly for the eldest wife to bring the hot account book to our door."

There was joy here and sorrow there. Ye Chongde was busy dealing with daily chores and worrying about the ownership of the account book. The old lady told him to temporarily hand over the account book to the second house for custody and return it to the original owner after Su recovered.

When Ye Chongde heard this, his face changed immediately. He knew clearly that even if Su recovered, he might not hand over the account book. He had to find a way to ruin this matter.

He racked his brains to deal with the old lady and suggested letting the third aunt take over the account books.

Liu, who was standing by, was not happy and added fuel to the fire, saying, "The third aunt comes from a small family. How can she handle such a large family business as the Ye Mansion? If something goes wrong, the reputation of the Ye Mansion will be damaged."

"The Third Aunt is very clever, and she is not the daughter of an ordinary family. Moreover, she has a relationship with General Rong... Managing the backyard account book, can it be difficult for her?"

"What would happen if General Rong knew that we treated her badly?"

Ye Chongde thought of a solution in a hurry. No matter whether the Third Aunt and General Rong were really friends, with the letter, they could always establish some relationship. When he said this, the old lady and Liu were stunned and could not refute a word.

After all, General Rong is an important figure who cannot be offended. Since he wrote a letter specifically to take care of the third concubine, we have to give him some face and cannot treat him with disrespect just because she is a concubine.

"This..." The old lady began to hesitate.

Liu's heart tightened and she secretly observed the old lady's reaction.

The old lady thought about it and finally made the decision: "How about this, the account book will be managed by the third concubine and Peifang respectively? This will not only save people effort, but also help them supervise each other and reduce mistakes."

The more the old lady thought about it, the more she thought this was a good idea.

Liu and Ye Chongde both looked unhappy, but after weighing the pros and cons, they decided to accept this compromise. After all, half a piece of cake is better than nothing. If they resisted, they might not even get this little benefit.

……

While there was a lot of commotion in the backyard, on the other side, a big event happened in Zijin Courtyard.

Someone from the palace delivered an invitation, inviting Su to come to the palace and have a visit.

"Wei Yang***?"

Ye Yunzi was secretly surprised. She had heard of the name of Miss Wei Yang. Not only was she as beautiful as a fairy, but she was also more efficient than men.

Countless heroes, even foreign princes, lined up to propose to her, but in the end, they were all rejected. Until now, she is still single and lives a free and easy life.

"Why did you suddenly think of inviting our mother?"

Su had nothing to do with the palace and didn't even know which way the palace gate faced. How could she not be nervous about this sudden invitation?

Su's face was filled with worry. How could she say no when someone so powerful and influential spoke? But she was also afraid that if she was not careful, she would implicate Ye Yunzi who was beside her.

"What should I do..." Su's face turned pale.

Ye Yunzi made inquiries from various sources and found out that this time the empress not only invited the Su family, but also Su Yongyu from the Su Mansion.

"Uncle..." Ye Yunzi muttered in a low voice, and she had an idea in her mind. Maybe the person that aunt really wanted to see was Su Yongyu.

She comforted Su: "Mom, don't worry, Princess Wei Yang is not a man-eating tiger. We are well behaved, nothing will go wrong."

"That's good..." Su held Ye Yunzi's hand tightly, "There are many rules in the palace. One wrong word can cause trouble. You must be careful with your words."

Su's eyes were filled with worry.

Ye Yunzi smiled and nodded, indicating that she would be careful.

On the day agreed to enter the palace, the palace sent a gorgeous carriage with two pretty maids serving her, which attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Su and Ye Yunzi drove away in the carriage, and everyone in the Ye Mansion was talking about it.

Su's actually got involved with ***, asking *** to personally send an invitation and even send a car to pick her up...

The tricks involved here are really intriguing.

Ye Chongde's expression was very rich. Although he had known Su for such a long time, he still didn't understand Su's background.

"Wei Yang*** ah..."

Empress Wei Yang was a powerful figure in the imperial court who could shake the earth with just a stomp of her foot. When she said a word, none of the princes dared to disobey. Even the emperor had to give her some face.

If I could have some connection with her...

Ye Chongde felt so regretful. The eldest lady of the Su family had just recovered from an illness and looked very unhappy. If Wei Yang saw it, he would have to find out the reason... By then, the shady things in the Ye Mansion, such as the third concubine and Ye Ziru whom he had brought back, would no longer be covered up.

He couldn't help but shudder.

……

Third Aunt and Ye Ziru also had livid faces.

With the account book of the backyard in his hand, he thought that he could be on equal footing with the first lady Su by gaining power. However, he never expected that Su suddenly won the favor of the queen.

"As long as the Su family is still breathing, we can't expect to live in peace."

"It seems that it is time to take action..."

The carriage shuttled through the bustling streets of Kyoto and finally headed towards the palace wall.

In her past and present lives, Ye Yunzi had never set foot in the imperial palace. However, Ye Ziru was as glorious as in her previous life. She was invited to the palace several times and even met the fourth prince's mother, Concubine Wei.

While I was thinking about it, the carriage had quietly entered the palace and slowly stopped.

A palace maid came up and said respectfully, "Please follow me, the princess has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

Su and Ye Yunzi exchanged glances and followed the maid. Soon, a magnificent palace gate came into view, with the three characters "Yongyang Palace" written in a flamboyant style.

Miss Wei Yang's name contains the word "Yang", so the Yongyang Palace really complements her.

In the front hall, the tea smelled sweet, and Princess Wei Yang sat on a yellow pear wood chair, with two palace maids serving beside her. She was a few years older than Su, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with skin so tender that it could be squeezed out of water, and her slightly drooping eyes revealed a charming aura, majestic yet charming, making all the beauties in Kyoto feel ashamed.

"I, a commoner named Su, and my daughter Ye Yunzi, come to see the princess."

Su bowed respectfully, and Ye Yunzi followed suit.

Princess Wei Yang raised her eyes to look at Su, her gaze fell on her eyebrows, and found that there were some similarities between them, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Your features are about 50% similar to his, but with a little more tenderness."

There is no need to guess, to know that the "he" Princess Wei Yang was talking about was Su Yongyu.

"Come on, sit down, and don't be so reserved."

"Ah."

Su and Ye Yunzi sat obediently on the chairs prepared nearby, with an extremely respectful attitude and carefulness in every move.

Princess Wei Yang asked a few simple questions about family matters, and Su replied stiffly that everything was fine, and the conversation soon fell into silence.

Ye Yunzi quietly looked at the legendary Princess Wei Yang and found that she had a gentle personality, was not difficult to approach, and did not put on airs with her servants.
