Chapter 50 A Well-Planned Scheme
Yun Wei asked impatiently, "Is there something she wants?"

Zhang Mama thought to herself: This lady is becoming more and more unscrupulous these days. Not only does she not call me mother, but now she has even omitted the three words "old lady".

"It concerns Consort Chen. Madam, you should come with me as soon as possible. The Old Madam has something to discuss with you," Zhang Mama replied, her eyes flashing.

Yunwei glanced at her and refused directly, "I don't have time." After saying that, she ignored Zhang Mama and went straight into the courtyard.

Seeing this, Zhang Mama was furious. This Yun Shi really was increasingly disregarding the old lady.

She went back angrily and reported the matter to Madam Li.

Madam Li, who was enjoying a peaceful family time with her grandson, immediately turned grim when she heard that Yun Wei was unwilling to come.

The Yun family really doesn't know how to be polite.

Sitting to the side, Chen Yuniang glanced at her face and deliberately said with a sad expression, "Sister, do you not like Huan-ge'er? I was originally thinking of letting Huan-ge'er meet her and call her Mother, alas."

Didn't Madam Yun want to kick her out of the manor? She'd like to see who gets kicked out first.

Madam Li valued offspring most, so she deliberately brought her son back.

Sure enough, upon seeing her grandson, Madam Li changed her mind.

Madam Li was already displeased, and after hearing what she said, she became even angrier.

Yun may dislike Chen Yuniang, but she cannot dislike Huan Ge'er.

Huan-ge'er is the eldest grandson of the Li family, and he is meant to continue the Li family line.

"Go and invite them again," said Madam Li, her face darkening.

Granny Zhang hesitated, as she hadn't mentioned Huan-ge'er at all. Madam Yun had no idea that Aunt Chen had brought Huan-ge'er back to the Li family.

Seeing the old lady's gloomy face, he had no choice but to swallow his words and go to Yilan Courtyard again.

"...Madam, Huan-ge'er has returned. The Old Madam wants you to see him," said Zhang Mama.

Yun Wei paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Why should I go to see a junior? Shouldn't he be the one to see me?"

Granny Zhang choked.

Logically speaking, Huan Ge'er should indeed be allowed to see the madam, but the old lady dotes on her grandson and can't bear to see him suffer.

“Huan’er is still young, and besides, the old lady has other matters to discuss with you,” Zhang Mama had no choice but to compromise.

“I’m not going.” Yunwei refused without hesitation.

She could almost guess why Madam Li had invited her over, and she also knew why Chen Yuniang had suddenly brought Huan Ge'er back.

Before Chen Yuniang entered the family, she had not brought Huan Ge'er back to the Li family. This was simply because she did not want Huan Ge'er to bear the name of a concubine's son. Instead, she wanted to wait until the Chen family was restored and Chen Yuniang became the legal wife before bringing Huan Ge'er back to the Li family.

At that time, Huan Ge'er would have been the rightful heir and grandson. The reason for suddenly bringing Huan Ge'er back now is that the Chen family's resurgence has changed, and after listening to her words, Old Madam Li has the idea of ​​driving Chen Yuniang out of the Li family. Therefore, Chen Yuniang had no choice but to bring her son back to the Li family in advance, hoping to use her son to dispel Old Madam Li's idea.

Now that Jin Sunsun has returned to the Li family, Old Madam Li has changed her mind about driving Chen Yuniang out of the Li family. She even wants her to acknowledge Huan Ge'er as her son so that Huan Ge'er can be registered under her name.

In this way, Huan-ge'er would become the legitimate son and grandson.

She had a clever plan, but unfortunately, she wouldn't let them have their way.

After being rejected a second time, Zhang Mama's expression turned very unpleasant.

She returned to Qiutong Courtyard and reported back to Old Madam Li.

Seeing that Yunwei had repeatedly invited her but she refused to come, Madam Li felt she had been humiliated and was very annoyed. She said to Chen Yuniang, "Bring Huan'er with you. If Yunwei won't come, let's go over there."

Chen Yuniang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. Yun Shi, relying on being the young lady of the Pingning Marquis's mansion, dared to instigate the old lady to drive her away. But in the old lady's eyes, what was Yun Shi compared to her Huan Ge'er?
She couldn't wait to see Yun Shi's disappointed and angry, yet helpless expression.

However, when the group arrived at Yilan Courtyard, they learned that Yunwei had gone out and was not in the mansion. At this, Old Madam Li was so angry that she almost flew into a rage.

"The Yun family!"

Madam Li was so angry that her voice trembled.

“Mother, is my sister doing this on purpose? She knows that Huan’er has returned to the Li family. The old lady invited him twice, but he didn’t go to see her. We came to see her in person, but she still avoided us. Does she think our Huan’er is so unwelcome?” Chen Yuniang deliberately wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, looking sad and distressed.

Madam Li's face darkened. "Yun Shi, would she dare? We'll wait for her to come back right here. Do you think she won't come back?" With that, she sat down and put Huan Ge'er on her lap.

Chen Yuniang's eyes flickered as she looked at the expensive porcelain in the room, which was obviously worth a lot of money. She sneered inwardly, "Does Yun Shi, a village girl, deserve to use such fine things?"
She exclaimed in surprise, picked up a teacup, and said, "Isn't this a Jianzhan teacup? Mother doesn't have any in her room, but my sister does."

Madam Li had never set foot in Yunwei's room before. When she stepped inside, she was secretly taken aback by the furnishings.

She knew that the Yun family's dowry was generous, but she didn't expect it to be this generous, with even the various furnishings in the house being so exquisite and valuable.

Not to mention the teacup, even the chair she's sitting on is made of rosewood, and the table against the wall, if she's not mistaken, is made of golden nanmu.

Upon realizing what was happening, Madam Li's breathing became rapid.

It's surprising that the Yun family, which doesn't seem to value the Yun family much, would have such an astonishingly generous dowry, which shows that the Yun family is actually quite wealthy.

Thinking of this, Madam Li felt her heart race and felt deep regret. How could she have neglected and mistreated Yunwei because of Chen Yuniang, that pheasant?

Upon hearing Chen Yuniang's words, he immediately realized that she had never seen anything good before and was ignorant of the world.

Although the Chen family had been convicted of a crime and the whole family was exiled, they were still dukes. But Chen Yuniang's behavior was like that of a village girl.
Madam Li felt utterly disgusted and ignored her words.

Seeing that her words had not caused Yunwei any dissatisfaction, Chen Yuniang felt annoyed. When she saw her son drooling, she had a sudden thought and said anxiously, "Huan-ge'er didn't eat much this morning, he must be hungry now."

Upon hearing this, Madam Li lifted her eyelids slightly and said to Zhang Mama, "Go to the kitchen and fetch some snacks."

“Mother, there’s no need to go to such lengths. Huan’er is still young and can’t stand being hungry. There’s a cook in my sister’s courtyard who makes plenty of food. Just have them bring some.” Chen Yuniang said quickly, her tone as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
