The Mrs. Xu was not in a hurry. She invited Xu Rouzhi to take a seat first, but since Xu Rouzhi was not going to, she said, "Then I'll tell the wangfei a story first!"

Xu Rouzhi said indifferently, "Then I'll listen carefully!"

"Many years ago, there was a young miss from a wealthy family who was as young and beautiful as Princess Hua-Yang, and also as kind and obedient as Princess Hua-Yang. "How many people want to marry her? There are many among them who are the sons of nobles in the imperial court, but none of them are unwilling to obey her, because she already has someone she likes."

"The people this young lady has fallen for are not rich or noble, but they possess the wisdom to scheme for the world. In order to help a good friend ascend to a high position, they have to plan and plan, and they will not rest until their wish is fulfilled. "This young lady does not love nobles, nor does she love money. She has fallen in love with this kind of man, who has the ability to turn the situation around, and also has the kind of mind to be willing to marry."

"A rare opportunity. This young miss coincidentally met the man she loved. At that time, the man was being hunted down by his enemies, and this young miss resolutely saved him. The one she loved expressed his gratitude to her and memorized her name. This makes her incomparably happy, and also incomparably happy. "

In order to fulfil the wishes of her lover, this young miss had given her quite a bit of wealth, and had also secretly given all sorts of convenience to her lover where she could. The Heavens did not disappoint her, and the wishes of her lover were fulfilled as she helped her good friend obtain the highest authority in the world.

"Originally, I thought that this was the beginning of happiness, but who would've thought that happiness never truly descended. When they were married, the young lady found that although her husband respected her, he thought of other girls in his heart and never really opened his heart to her. She was very sad, but she continued to work hard, hoping that one day she would be able to move her husband's heart. "

"But she was wrong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't warm her husband's heart. He treated her as if she were her own, and often slept in different beds, unlike any newlyweds. She felt sad and helpless and didn't know how to change that. "

"One day in the third year after their marriage, the husband of this young lady suddenly brought back a frail young woman who was on the verge of death and declared that he would take her as his wife. She originally thought that her wholehearted sacrifice would one day warm her husband's heart. However, she never would have thought that it would be the other women sharing the same thing. "

Xu Rouzhi finally could not hold it in anymore and interrupted: "Weren't all men in this era made up of three wives and four concubines? How could that young lady expect her husband to die in one fell swoop? "

"Who said that the men of this era are all concubines?" Mrs. Xu sneered, "There are so many men in the Ji City who doted on their wives and would never remarry in their entire lives!"

"Alright!" Xu Rouzhi nodded her head, she was actually not in favor of having three wives and four concubines, even if love was not exclusive, but there were too many contradictions regarding polygamy! She nodded and said to Mrs. Xu: "Madam, please continue!"

The Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, then continued: "Ever since I took in my concubine, this young lady has been like a child in hell, the only thing that remains in my life is pain. She had already discovered that this secondary matron was the woman her husband had always cherished in his heart. The young lady could only console herself. She had come late and let the other women live in her husband's heart, so she couldn't be blamed on others. For the sake of her loved one, she can only accept reality. "

"However, what she didn't expect was that even though that madam had married her husband to become his concubine, she wasn't thinking about him. Instead, she was thinking about someone else! So the other lady treated her husband as coldly as her husband treated her. Her husband seems to be aware of this and has been furious with her several times over it. "

"This is how fate plays with people in this world. How many people had received the sincerity of others, yet were truly indifferent towards them? The other lady had made things difficult for herself and others. She had obtained something that others cherished, but she refused to cherish it herself. Because she felt sorry for her husband, the young lady couldn't help but scold the other lady. In the end, she was reprimanded by her husband, causing her to cry tears of grievance. "

"Even so, the secondary wife never cherished the feelings she had. Five years later, the secondary wife left her young child without a trace of affection in spite of the many years of marriage between husband and wife, just so that she could continue her fates with the person she cared about."

With that, the Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Rouzhi with a mournful cold smile: "Princess, do you understand, whose story is this?"

Xu Rouzhi understood!

She scoffed, "Mrs. Xu described herself as great, described my father as heartless, and described my mother as unbearable. What is the meaning of this?"

The Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, "Whether or not I am telling the truth, the Third Miss can naturally ask the Old Master for confirmation. If I am to lie about this matter, do you think I can still stay in the Crown’s Master? "

"You said that my mother eloped with someone else, what evidence do you have? Mrs. Xu, you should be responsible for whatever you say, no? "

"Before Cheng Wan left, the old master cared for the Third Miss with all kinds of care and love. These, Third Sister, don't tell me that you don't remember any of these?"

"Generally speaking, very few people remember what happened before they were six!"

"Alright, even if Third Miss can't remember what happened before she was six, Third Miss should still be the master's flesh and blood right? Why was the old master so indifferent to the third young mistress? Wasn't it because of Cheng Wan's heartlessness that it broke through the old master's heart! Third Young Miss looked in the mirror and saw how similar she looked to Cheng Wan. When the old master saw Third Young Miss, his heart felt as if it had been cut by a steel knife and the wound felt like it was torn again.

Xu Rouzhi frowned: "What kind of evidence do you guys have? Just like that, you say my mother went off the rails and ran away? "How do I know that you weren't the one who secretly killed my mother out of jealousy and then lied to my father to say that my mother cheated in order to hide her crimes?"

Mrs. Xu sneered: "If I really kill her, it will only be enough to make old master hate me for his entire life, but it won't make him suffer the pain of being abandoned for his entire life!"

Xu Rouzhi stood up and walked out coldly. Mrs. Xu called out to her from behind. "Don't you want to know where your mother is now?

Xu Rouzhi stopped in her tracks.

Based on Qi Yu's identity, she did not care where she was or who she was with. But her current identity was Xu Rouzhi.

And Bi Su, they must want to know where she is now, right?

Xu Rouzhi slowly turned around and looked at the Mrs. Xu coldly: "Do you know where my mother is?"

Mrs. Xu replied: "To be honest, I don't know."

Xu Rouzhi laughed: "You don't know? Then why did you exchange this worthless secret for a promise from me? "

Mrs. Xu stared at Xu Rouzhi: "Even though I don't know, your father should know."

Thinking about Xu Chang's threat towards Xu Rouzhi and her, Xu Rouzhi furrowed her brows. "How do you know he knows?"

The Mrs. Xu sighed: "He won't tell me anything. If I want to know anything, I can only ask secretly. All these years, I understood that he had never let go of your mother. I had hoped to find her and have them have a good chat, so that this knot in your father's heart could be resolved. But unfortunately, your father didn't reveal anything, and I still haven't been able to find out who the person who brought your mother away was. "

"Since you don't know where my mother is, then what is the meaning of your secret?" Xu Rouzhi frowned.

"But I can try to help you find out where your mother is!"

"You don't know anything, and actually came to negotiate with me," Xu Rouzhi said coldly. "My father also said that as long as I complete my mission, he would tell me about my mother's whereabouts. So, why should I care about you? "

Mrs. Xu hurriedly reached out her hand to stop her, "No, your father won't tell you about your mother's news. If he did, he would have already told you earlier, why would he wait till now?

Xu Rouzhi frowned as she looked at Mrs. Xu: "Then when can you give me the answer?"

"I will do it as soon as possible!" The Mrs. Xu said.

Seeing Xu Rouzhi's frown and not saying a word, the Mrs. Xu hurriedly continued, "Don't worry, I'm pretty close to finding the answer, it's just that I still need a final step to confirm the answer. I'll be able to quickly tell you about your mother's information!"

Xu Rouzhi looked up at Mrs. Xu, her eyes puzzled: "Why do you want to make this deal with me? What about your conditions? What do you want me to promise? "

"I want you to promise me that after we find your mother, I'll ask her to come forward and help you free your father from this matter. Even if it's better to have him give up, it's still better than endlessly torturing him!"

"It's that simple?" Xu Rouzhi's face was filled with suspicion, "Just to solve a problem?"

Mrs. Xu sighed sorrowfully, "You don't understand how important this is to me and your father."

How could it be so simple? Of course Xu Rouzhi wouldn't believe it!

Just to resolve the knot in Xu Chang's heart, there was no need for her to agree to anything. What could a junior like her say in the relationship between the three of them?

Furthermore, if Cheng Wan had not died and abandoned her for more than ten years without caring or caring, and if such a mother was not a good mother, then how could such a mother listen to her, an abandoned daughter?

Xu Rouzhi frowned: "There must be another very important reason that you haven't told me about right?"

The Mrs. Xu was silent for a moment, then said: "You can say so. But I can't tell you yet. "

Xu Rouzhi snorted, "Then why should I believe you?"

Mrs. Xu said excitedly: "You must believe in me, because this is related to my husband, your father, and your mother's fate!"

Xu Rouzhi stared at Mrs. Xu for a long while: "The Prince Qi Palace is about to be wiped clean by the Eastern Palace. How long can I live without knowing?

Even if she was a pawn of the Eastern Palace sect and Crown’s Master, once Chu Yixuan fell, they would probably make their move against her, right? So, what use did she have to the Mrs. Xu?
