1773: Made Preparations in Advance

Made Preparations in Advance

At this point, Yun Bixue's eyes reddened. Despite her trying to hold it in, she nearly burst out crying.2

She knew that Grandfather hoped she would be strong, so she couldn't cry. Thankfully, Grandfather was still alive, and she could continue to be filial towards him. Otherwise, she would go on feeling upset.

"Miss, Old Master said that you're very intelligent and capable, but you're too kind and lack ruthlessness."

Yun Bixue covered her eyes as she murmured, "Grandfather knows me best."

Indeed, she simply chose not to fight in the past, hoping everyone could be well. It wasn't that she didn't know anything.

Of course, when it came to relationships, she didn't handle them well.

It was when Grandfather fell sick that she suffered a grave agitation, which made her realize what wilful coldness was.

She had to depend on herself for everything, and it was then that she resolved not to be weak, not to be blindly kind.

And it was when she got together with Xie Limo that she learned how to strike back step by step and how to deal with enemies.

At that time, he was her source of strength and motivation.

Yun Bixue calmed herself down, then took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Yang, I get it now. Don't worry. Whatever I encounter, I will handle them well."

"We know. So long as Miss puts in the effort, no one can harm you. However…"

Uncle Yang couldn't articulate some words, so Yun Dong continued on his behalf, "Miss, we're worried that relationships are your weakness."

Yun Bixue reassured everyone with a smile. "Relationships are weakness and also strength, no need to worry about that."

Yang Mei said, "Although we believe in Young Master Xie too, there will always be overconfident women who would try to get between the two of you."

Yun Dong patted Yang Mei's shoulder. "Sister Yang, don't worry about this. Those women wouldn't succeed even if they try. They'll only end up humiliating themselves. Am I right, Miss?"

Yun Bixue smiled and patted Yun Dong's head. "Clever devil."

Yang Mei still cautioned, "Still, you need to take precautions, Miss."

Yun Bixue nodded. "Don't worry. I have instructed all of you those tasks as a means of preparation. I plan to go into a big battle with the princess. I'm going to let her know that I, Yun Bixue, is not someone to trifle with."

"Miss, you're terrific." Yun Dong was Yun Bixue's loyal fan. In her eyes, there's nothing Miss couldn't accomplish.

"Okay, let's discuss official work matters. I know you're worried, so I'll tell you about my plans. Xiajun Yanwu is trying to blow up the matter now, so she can suppress me with public opinion. In that case, I'll turn her trick against her. The more this matter blows up, the harder it is to wind up the situation. She'll be the one getting drowned by public opinion instead. So what if she's a princess? I can take care of her nonetheless."

Listening to Yun Bixue's confident words, everyone's minds were put to ease.

As for Xie Limo, he had brought a highly-skilled doctor into the palace to perform acupuncture on His Majesty, trying his best for His Majesty to live for one more month.

After walking Xie Limo out, Xiajun Yanli made a gesture and said, "Many thanks."

Xie Limo smiled slightly and said honestly, "No need for thanks. I'm doing this for myself."

Just then, Wu Yin came running over. "Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie!"

Only when Wu Yin ran over, did she see Majesty Huang standing behind Xie Limo. Her expression turned green in an instant, for she hadn't expected to see Majesty Huang there as well.

Xie Limo stared at the person before him. He knew she worked for the princess. "What do you have to say?"
