The daily life of the concubine of the Prime Minister

Chapter 148 Negotiating Terms with the Princess

Hearing Liu Yu's voice, Princess Xinyi, who was about to lose her temper, said in a much better tone: "It's you! What do you want from me?"

She still admired people with real talent, especially if she agreed to one condition.

Liu Yu gestured for the two to talk alone.

Princess Xinyi nodded, said something to Princess Duan, followed Liu Yu to the side, and asked casually:

"Don't tell me, you want to use that promise to exchange for the life of this Second Madam?"

Liu Yu indeed thought so, and she nodded truthfully.

"Your name is Liu Yu, right?" Princess Xinyi approached Liu Yu and looked her up and down carefully. "Aren't you quite smart? How could you do such a stupid thing? Do you know that my promise is so precious? You actually used it just to exchange for a stupid woman. Are you stupid?"

Liu Yu smiled without comment.

Xinyi was very annoyed to see a smart person doing stupid things, but she had promised Liu Yu, and to be honest, she had made a profit by exchanging a promise for something that was unimportant to her.

There is no need to worry that Liu Yu will ask for too much in the future.

It’s just frustrating that you can’t get rid of the people who hurt you yourself.

"Okay! Okay! I promise you. I don't know what you can get by doing this. You will regret it in the future." Princess Xinyi looked at Liu Yu angrily and said, "I will go and tell my mother to release the second lady." Then she turned around and prepared to leave.

Liu Yu took in Princess Xinyi's emotions. She laughed out loud, called her and asked seriously, "Princess, do you want to vent your anger?"

"Liu Yu, how dare you laugh at me?" Princess Xinyi frowned and her face flushed. It was obvious that Liu Yu's words had irritated her greatly.

Originally she was going to let the person who poisoned her go because of this promise, but now being asked this by Liu Yu, she felt that it was a blatant provocation.

Liu Yu shook his head and said seriously, "The person who poisoned me must be someone else."

"Really?" Princess Xinyi narrowed her eyes: "What do you want?" Liu Yu had already exchanged his promise for the life of the Second Madam. Now that he said it, Princess Xinyi believed what Liu Yu said. Maybe the Second Madam was really wronged.

But she was born into a royal family and understood human nature best, so she would not help for no reason.

In this regard, she really misunderstood Liu Yu. Liu Yu really just didn't want to make life difficult for the people behind the scenes. If they did it, they would have to pay the price.

But he told Princess Xinyi, but he didn't want to create another false enemy for the Chen family. Judging from the last life, the Royal Family didn't have many years left, and by then the cabinet would be in chaos. Prince Duan was the Royal Family's younger brother, and Princess Xinyi was Prince Duan's favorite daughter. It would be unwise to push her to the opposite side now.

No matter what the reason, it is a fact that Princess Xinyi was assassinated in the Chen Mansion today. Although she can promise to exchange for the life of the Second Madam, Princess Xinyi must be holding a grudge. Needless to say, her impression of the Chen Mansion is extremely bad. But if she can find an outlet to vent her anger, she can divert the princess's anger.

I can’t say anything about the others, but at least they won’t target the Chen family.

Liu Yu smiled and answered truthfully:

"No need. I told you that I was letting the princess vent her anger, so I won't take the opportunity to make demands."

Liu Yu's words made Princess Xinyi smile for the first time in a long time. She looked at Liu Yu with a much kinder look: "You are sensible." She raised her hand and patted Liu Yu's shoulder: "Well, apart from this face, you are still good."

Liu Yu: “…”

There was a hint of resentment in her eyes. It was rare for someone to have her face disliked by the same person in two lifetimes.

But on second thought, in this life, it seemed that by some strange coincidence, I had won the favor of Princess Xinyi. It seemed that even if I used up that promise, I wouldn't feel so heartbroken.

The two returned inside.

Mr. Chen's eyes fell on Liu Yu, as if he had guessed something. After she walked to his side, he leaned over and whispered in her ear: "I will take back what belongs to you."

Liu Yu was confused and didn't quite understand what he meant. She wanted to ask something, but Mr. Chen San didn't seem to want to explain any further.

The Chen family looked at Princess Xinyi nervously, wondering if she really wanted to leave the Chang family. If so, it would be disastrous not only for the Chen family's reputation, but also for Prince Duan's Mansion.

Compared to the Chen family, Princess Duan was actually also nervous. Although she looked like she was really going to deal with the Chang family, only she knew that if the Chen family was really killed, the Duan Mansion would have a feud with the Chen Mansion. The prince has always been a tortoise shell of a person, and would not meddle in other people's affairs if he could. Although it was for Xinyi, it would be difficult to explain when he returned. He originally came to make friends with the Chen Mansion, but now it has become a hostile relationship. It is difficult to think about it.

The most important thing is that the last time the prince analyzed, Chen Zhihe was very much liked by the royal family and was very likely to become the regent of the new dynasty.

"Old lady, you just saw it. Liu Yu came to me for no other reason than the Second Madam's attempt to poison me." Princess Xinyi walked up to Chang and looked down at Chang who was sitting on the ground. "She told me that she was willing to exchange her promise for your forgiveness, and she agreed."

The old lady smiled, turned her head and looked at Liu Yu with relief in her eyes, and the other people in the Chen family also breathed a sigh of relief.

But there was only one exception, and that was Mr. Chen. When he heard that Princess Xinyi had spared Chang, a flash of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

But even if the princess let Chang go, what would it matter? After doing such a thing, he would definitely divorce her. I don't think the Chang family would dare to say anything more.

As soon as he had this thought, Princess Xinyi looked at him suddenly, and she said, "I don't intend to pursue this matter. You, the Chen family, cannot divorce Chang for this reason. Master Chen, do you understand?"

Mr. Chen's face suddenly looked as ugly as if he had stepped on shit. He felt extremely aggrieved. He finally had a legitimate reason, but it was just extinguished like that. However, he still had to do it because they were in the wrong.

"Yes."

Princess Xinyi nodded with satisfaction, and left Chen's Mansion with the people from Prince Duan's Mansion. However, before leaving, she turned back to look at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu understood and a smile flashed in his eyes.

After the people from Prince Duan's Mansion left, Master Chen San talked with the people from the Li, Zhang and Hai families one after another. It was not known what Master Chen San talked about, but they later became friendly and asked their servants to carry away the three people who were poisoned.

In the eyes of others, the poisoning incident had finally come to an end. Naturally, the affairs of the mansion were decided by the eldest lady and the old lady, and everyone else left the kitchen one after another.

The only ones left were the backbone of the Chen family and Liu Yu. Liu Yu originally wanted to leave but was stopped by Mr. Chen Sanye.

So everyone was invited by the old lady to Shou'an Hall.

"Mother, I want to divorce Chang."

As soon as he stepped into Shou'an Hall, Mr. Chen Er lifted his robe and knelt in the middle, showing his determination to divorce his wife.
