Cloud Madam dismissed everyone from the room, leaning alone on the Arhat Bed, eyes slightly closed. Magpie likes Yun Heng, this girl is quite stubborn in some ways. So, she deliberately involved Yun Heng. Of course, she didn’t really think Magpie could do anything to Yun Ying. If Yun Ying could easily be taken down, would she have been so constrained by him? It’s just to disgust him. As for what happens to Magpie, she doesn’t care. One Magpie gone, there could be many magpies. Besides, she has other ways to deal with Yun Ying. In short, she won’t let her be comfortable. After lying down for a while, Cloud Madam sat up and called for the servants to come in. After freshening up and dressing, she took another maid and headed straight for the Han Mansion. The Han Mansion is Cloud Madam’s maiden family. Currently, the head of the family is Cloud Madam’s brother, Han Zhenggang, the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, holding the third-rank official position. He and Cloud Madam are full siblings, with excellent relations. Moreover, Han Zhenggang reaching the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is also thanks to the Duke of Zhen Country. Thus, with Han Zhenggang setting an example, everyone in the Han Family is extremely respectful toward Cloud Madam. "Ah Ling, has something happened? Why are you back now? Should I send someone to fetch your husband back?" asked Han Zhenggang’s wife, somewhat surprised. After all, the little sister-in-law of our family has always been the most rule-abiding. Usually, when she returns to her maiden family, she would definitely send a post in advance. The only thing Han’s wife can think of that would make her sister-in-law act out of the ordinary is an urgent matter. Cloud Madam shook her head, "No need to bring my brother back, talking to you, sister-in-law, is just the same. It’s not a big deal, just want to ask sister-in-law for a favor." "What favor?" Han’s wife asked. "The Duke now values Yun Ying greatly. It’s very likely this title will fall to Yun Ying in the future. Yun Ying and I have a tense relationship; wanting to coexist peacefully is probably difficult. I am a girl from the Han Family; I am one with the Han Family." said Cloud Madam. Han’s wife understood what her sister-in-law meant. The future Duke of Zhen Country will not be on good terms with the Han Family. Although the Han Family no longer needs the support of the Duke, it’s always better to be friendly rather than hostile. That’s Han’s wife’s thought, but she couldn’t be sure what her sister-in-law was thinking. "Ah Ling, sister-in-law’s foolish, if there’s anything you need me to do, just say it. As long as sister-in-law can do it, there will be no objections," said Han’s wife. "I need a daughter from the Han Family," said Cloud Madam. Han’s wife was somewhat puzzled. "To marry Yun Ying," Cloud Madam added. "Do you have someone in mind?" Han’s wife asked nervously. She has a daughter, seventeen, quite suitable in age. However, she didn’t want her own daughter to get involved in this mess. Her daughter is her treasure, which is why she delayed her marriage even at seventeen. One reason is she wants to find a satisfactory match for her daughter, and another is she thought it would be less risky for childbirth if her daughter married after eighteen. Though the future role of Duchess is significant enough. But since Yun Ying isn’t on good terms with her sister-in-law, if her daughter is caught in the middle, how could she be happy? Cloud Madam shook her head softly, "Need someone who can listen to us, thoughtful, and won’t be swayed by Yun Ying." Han’s wife sighed with relief; being thoughtful means her daughter is unsuitable for this. Her daughter has been raised in comfort, pure and carefree personality. "How about Qingdai, registered under my name?" Han’s wife thought for a moment and suggested. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0veI.Fiɾe.net Han’s wife carefully described Qingdai’s temperament. Cloud Madam felt it was fine, then asked, "Is sister-in-law sure she will listen to us?" "Qingdai’s aunt, I handled the posthumous matters. At that time, Qingdai already understood things. Later, I registered her under my name. These two favors, Qingdai said she’d be willing to repay with her life," Han’s wife replied. "This child, I understand, values emotions deeply." Regarding Qingdai’s aunt’s affair, at that time, Cloud Madam was already married, so she didn’t know much. The head of the Han Family at that time wasn’t her brother. Just vaguely knew it was a scandal. Involved several Han Family masters. Later, her brother’s official career took off, naturally becoming the head of the Han Family. "If sister-in-law says it works, then it certainly works," Cloud Madam said. "After returning, I’ll negotiate with the Duke. If he forces me to concede, he must pay." Han’s wife looked worried, "Ah Ling, why don’t you just go along with everything the Duke wants? In the end, he is the Duke Mansion’s head; how can you outdo him? You concede, and the Duke will certainly remember your good; he’ll protect you." "Remember my good, then Yun Ying wouldn’t exist. Rightfully and genuinely, the children born from concubines in the mansion, I treat as my own. He brought a child from outside directly, isn’t that a slap in my face? Fair enough if it was due to circumstances that it drifted outside, but that Yun Ying is outstanding in every aspect, which shows he was well-educated," Cloud Madam gritted her teeth. This was premeditated for a long time. She dedicated herself to working for the Duke Mansion, yet he treated her this way! She couldn’t get over this hurdle in her heart. As a woman, Han’s wife felt if she encountered such a thing herself, she would certainly be angry. But it would only be anger. She wouldn’t be able to resist like her sister-in-law. "Whatever you do, always prioritize self-preservation," Han’s wife said. "Otherwise, instead of benefiting, it would be detrimental." Cloud Madam hummed in agreement, "I’ll go see Qingdai." "I’ll go with you," Han’s wife said. Han Qingdai is very pretty, with almost no resemblance to Han Zhenggang, her appearance entirely inherited from her aunt. She showed great respect toward Han’s wife, and Cloud Madam observed from the side; her respect didn’t seem feigned but genuinely from the heart. Her speech was also measured, not flattering nor arrogant. Cloud Madam gave Han Qingdai a bracelet as a meeting gift. Only after Han’s wife spoke did Han Qingdai accept it. Overall, Cloud Madam was quite satisfied with this niece. After leaving Han Qingdai, Cloud Madam said, "Sister-in-law, there’s still business at the mansion; I’ll come another day." "Alright." Han’s wife personally saw her out. "Don’t let anything slip about Qingdai for now," Cloud Madam advised. "I’ll listen to you," Han’s wife said. After Han Zhenggang returned to the mansion, while Han’s wife was assisting him in changing into his home robe, she shared today’s visit of Cloud Madam to the mansion. Word for word, without any embellishment, she relayed it directly to Han Zhenggang. "Absurd." Han Zhenggang said sternly, "How can she live more and regress more? Does she really think herself so capable? All these years, she’s been thriving in the Duke Mansion because her brother-in-law has been giving her face. In other words, with brother-in-law backing her, everything goes smoothly. As the primary wife, not able to give her husband an heir, just this fact, her husband could divorce her anytime. Instead of being content, she wants to control her husband, how foolish can she be?"
