Chapter 241 Control
It's getting dark.
At the gate of Bai Mansion.
Seeing that Tang Wanru's carriage had finally arrived, Shang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly reached out and helped Tang Wanru down.
"Mom, why are you here?" Tang Wanru asked curiously.
She doesn't have to be here. Bai Yanli and Tang Wanru went out together in the morning, but in the evening only Bai Yanli came back.
Can she not be anxious?
Nowadays, the months are getting longer and longer, and we have to be careful everywhere.
"Are you tired? Mother will help you go back and rest." Shang said, and took her hand and walked into the door. When they entered the door, Bai Yanli happened to come out. He wanted to say something: "Wanru..." But Shang ignored him and directly pulled her in.
Tang Wanru blinked at Bai Yanli in surprise.
Bai Yanli felt very aggrieved. It was not that he did not want to pick her up, but he was afraid to go too early and disturb the mother and daughter's conversation. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time and they should spend more time with each other. Moreover, Sui Qi had been secretly protecting Tang Wanru, so nothing would happen.
"Look, they're back, aren't they?" Bai Ge smiled when he saw the two people coming in, "I told you it's okay, Wanru just had a little chat with her mother-in-law."
He wanted to comfort Shang, but he didn't expect to be glared at mercilessly by her.
In fact, Shang Shi was in a bad mood these past two days. Especially after Bai Yanli officially became the prince, she had raised Bai Yanli for so many years and had not yet accepted this reality.
Tang Wanru was even more worried. She was afraid that she would follow Bai Yanli back to the palace at some point, and she wouldn't be able to see the baby in her belly.
So she has been extra nice to Wanru these days.
Although Bai Yanli did not say when he would return to the palace, Shang was unhappy.
Seeing Tang Wanru coming back, Ye Qinghe, who had been waiting in the front hall, also came out. She was about to talk to Tang Wanru when she heard a female voice coming from the yard: "Imperial Concubine, you are finally back. I asked the kitchen to make Tremella soup for you. Come and have a taste."
The person who spoke was Yu Jiao.
Tang Wanru and Ye Qinghe looked at each other, and Tang Wanru gestured to her to ask the kitchen to bring the Tremella soup to the room first, while Ye Qinghe pulled her to the yard.
"As if." Ye Qinghe said, "Don't worry, my confidant is in charge of everything from the ingredients to the cooking methods in the kitchen. She can't touch anything from the kitchen to the table."
When Tang Wanru heard this, she felt that Ye Qinghe was very thoughtful, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Ye Qinghe was still a little surprised by this. She asked, "It's just that Wanru, this girl is obviously problematic. Why do you keep her?" She was too scheming. From the beginning, she was determined to enter the inner courtyard, and she even ignored her own injuries. This behavior was terrible. After she hit the carriage, she was ready to send her out, but she didn't expect to be called into the inner courtyard by her.
"She had been sold before, and then someone bought her and sent her here." Tang Wanru had sent people to find out her background in the past few days.
"Are you saying that she was instructed by someone?" Ye Qinghe asked.
Tang Wanru nodded and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, since the other party has sent people to our place, if we don't accept them, wouldn't that be giving them no face?"
Ye Qinghe listened and seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Wanru, what do you mean?"
Tang Wanru said: "Sister-in-law, in addition to daily life, I would also like to trouble you to keep an eye on her for me in private." Since someone sent her here, they will eventually meet each other.
Hearing this, Ye Qinghe understood Tang Wanru's intention more clearly. The servant's affairs were originally her business, so she nodded in understanding: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

inside the room.
Tang Wanru sat in front of the mirror and took off the hairpin on her head. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Yu Jiao standing at the door, quietly looking at her.
Tang Wanru placed the hairpin on the table and said calmly, "Come in and take off the hairpin for me."
"It's the imperial concubine." Yu Jiao hurried in and stood behind Tang Wanru. While picking her hair, she looked at Tang Wanru in the mirror and said, "Imperial concubine, you are so beautiful. No wonder you can marry the seventh prince."
After a pause, Yu Jiao continued, "Imperial Concubine, you are so lucky. You originally married a merchant, but you didn't expect that he would be a prince who was abandoned outside. This plot is really something that even the storybooks dare not write about."
After she took off Tang Wanru's headdress, she continued, "Those noble ladies out there are so envious of you that their eyes are about to pop out of their sockets. In my opinion, they don't have the qualifications!"
Yu Jiao finished speaking, but there was silence in the room. Tang Wanru did not say anything.
She suddenly realized that she had said too much, and lowered her head and said, "Princess, I am sorry for talking too much."
Tang Wanru didn't say anything, but said calmly: "From now on, when you follow Yingchun, you can also call me master."
Yu Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said quickly, "Yes, Master."
Tang Wanru glanced at her clothes in the mirror and frowned, "You are good-looking, but the servants in the Bai Mansion wear plain clothes. They don't look good on you. How about this? I have some old clothes in my closet that I don't like to wear anymore. You can take them and change into them often."
Yu Jiao was flattered. She nodded immediately: "Yes, Master."
"Okay, go ahead." Seeing that Yu Jiao had already taken the clothes, Tang Wanru ordered.
Yu Jiao happily left with the clothes in her arms.
When I went out, I saw Bai Yanli coming in.
Yu Jiao was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and ran away.
Bai Yanli glanced at her back with an indifferent look, then turned and walked in. At this time, Tang Wanru had taken off all the scattered accessories she had brought with her when she went out, and just casually tied her hair up, looking very beautiful and lovely.
It looks so good that one would like to take a bite.
She just stood up and turned around, and bumped into Bai Yanli's arms. She really didn't hear him come in just now.
Since people have already bumped into him, Bai Yanli can only accept it with a smile.
So when she tried to retreat, he gently hugged her and she couldn't move away for a while.
She was just feeling depressed that she had run into someone this time, but then she heard Bai Yanli say, "Empress Yu is crazy."
Tang Wanru raised her head.
"She managed to keep the baby in her belly for half a month, but she eventually died. It was a boy." Bai Yanli said, "With the baby gone, Concubine Yu naturally went crazy."
Of course, his implication is more than that.
That means that if the child can be saved, Concubine Yu may be able to turn things around, and the prince may be able to hold on for a while longer, but once the child dies, the prince's move will be over.
Hearing him say this, Tang Wanru's expression was neither happy nor angry, but rather she seemed to be indifferent.
Actually, it doesn’t matter.
Her goal was not the crown prince. Her goal was to have someone to replace the crown prince so that Zhou Ziyue would not be able to take the throne in the future. The death of Concubine Yu was an important part in Bai Yanli's eyes, but for Tang Wanru's purpose, it was just a process.
Just like how she dealt with Concubine Yu with ease.
The ultimate goal is Tang Yueer.
She has always been a person with clear goals.
Looking at Tang Wanru's expression.
Bai Yanli smiled gently. This woman really didn't care about anything, and she never took credit for herself.
But in fact, everything is under her control.
