How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 570: Tao the Ruthless Will Do Anything to Enter the Palace
Xiang Hui entered earlier than Shen Wanqing, and after she entered, she temporarily managed the inner courtyard of the Pei Mansion.
Until Shen Wanqing entered, the relationship between Pei Yu and Shen Wanqing was extremely adverse, so they never gave the authority of the main wife to Shen Wanqing.
But he did not expect that in the end, he would end up with such a result of favoring a concubine and neglecting his wife.
He didn’t want that.
Pei Yu closed his eyes.
"From now on, let Shen Wanqing take charge of the household."
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiang Hui’s face changed, and her whole body shook slightly.
"Master, I’ve been managing this home for twenty years without any errors. May I ask, Master, what did I do wrong this time?"
Pei Yu looked at Xiang Hui’s aggrieved face and then thought of Pei Jingyi holding Pei Shu’er’s neck tightly, looking very displeased.
However, a hundred days of marriage bring eternal kindness, so he remained reluctant to harshly blame Xiang Hui.
He sighed, "Shen Wanqing is the legitimate wife; she is the one who should be the head mistress. Over the years, you have taken her authority; isn’t it time to return it?"
Pei Lingling hurriedly knelt.
"Father, although Mother is the legitimate wife, she still lacks the experience to manage the inner courtyard. And besides, Mother doesn’t often stay here. If this authority is given to Mother, then the inner courtyard will be left unmanaged."
The other concubines also hurriedly knelt, expressing the same sentiment.
Pei Yu frowned and pondered for a moment, thinking of Xiang Hui’s daily hard work in checking the accounts and managing the inner courtyard’s affairs.
The thought of Shen Wanqing taking over the responsibilities made him feel unwilling.
"Alright, since that’s the case, let Xiang Hui assist Wanqing for the time being."
Xiang Hui looked up at Pei Yu, staying silent.
Pei Lingling wanted to persuade further but was stopped by Xiang Hui, who shook her head.
After leaving, Pei Lingling asked Xiang Hui.
"Mother, why didn’t you let me persuade Father? Maybe we could have persuaded him otherwise."
Xiang Hui gritted her teeth: "There’s no need. You know your father’s temperament. Once he’s made a decision, he won’t change it easily."
Pei Lingling said: "This time Father went to the Prince Zhan Mansion and must have been incited."
Xiang Hui nodded; she had underestimated Shen Wanqing.
Unexpectedly, under her nose, Shen Wanqing neither cried nor made trouble.
As soon as she left her sight, she started causing trouble.
Moreover, she did so in a way that made the Master’s heart lean towards their proper house.
That is indeed the right of the head mistress!
...
Meanwhile, after Tao Mingxuan finished teaching the two children, he looked at Pei Shu’er.
"I wish to discuss something with you." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Pei Shu’er nodded, and Pei Lingxuan and Pei Qingheng left the room of their own accord.
Tao Mingxuan pondered for a while and then looked up at Pei Shu’er with a powerful gaze, suppressing anger in his eyes.
"Pei Shu’er, have you forgotten what you promised me before? By now, we’ve been in the Capital for half a year."
Pei Shu’er said: "You wish for Lin Guipin, and we’re trying to figure it out. I have a proposal now; I wonder if you’re willing to hear it."
Tao Mingxuan froze, then nodded.
Pei Shu’er said: "I can have Lin Guipin fake her death, then secretly take her out of the palace, change her name, and leave her by your side."
Tao Mingxuan sneered: "Do you think I want Lin Guipin because I can’t bear to part with her? No, I hate her to the bone; I want to torture her, make her regret being born into this world."
Pei Shu’er said: "Once she’s by your side, wouldn’t she be at your mercy?"
Tao Mingxuan felt this kind of revenge wasn’t enough and sneered again.
"She put such a big green hat on me and turned me into a dog without a home. If I let her go easily like this, wouldn’t that be too easy for her."
Pei Shu’er tentatively asked: "Then why don’t you put a green hat on her too?"
After saying this, Pei Shu’er realized it wasn’t right.
Lin Guipin and Tao Mingxuan are not connected now; how could a green hat even be put on?
Surely Tao Mingxuan can’t be with Yan Haoxuan?
Thinking of this, Pei Shu’er felt a chill inside.
Stop, stop.
Tao Mingxuan suddenly grinned widely.
"I have a way. I can’t put a green hat on her, but I can put one on the Emperor. She and the Emperor are both objects of my hatred."
Pei Shu’er blinked in surprise, nodding as if it made some sort of sense.
It’s just the execution is very difficult.
For concubines absolutely cannot leave the palace.
Tao Mingxuan looked at Pei Shu’er: "Think of a way to get me into the palace?"
Pei Shu’er almost thought she heard wrong, then looked at Tao Mingxuan again, her eyes filled with admiration and a hint of strangeness.
"Would you really go this far for revenge?"
Tao Mingxuan looked peculiarly at Pei Shu’er: "What do you mean?"
Pei Shu’er said: "You should know, entering the palace, you can only be a eunuch, right?"
Tao Mingxuan’s eyes widened, extremely resistant to the word eunuch.
"Are you dumb? Can’t I also be a guard or an Imperial Physician?"
Pei Shu’er took a closer look at Tao Mingxuan; although his health had improved, he still looked frail.
Moreover, he couldn’t carry or lift anything heavy.
That being the case, not to mention becoming a guard, even if he tried to be a eunuch, people might despise him for lacking strength.
As for being an Imperial Physician...
That’s a technical field.
Pei Shu’er said: "Imperial Guards can’t enter the harem; they can only guard the palace gates. It might take centuries to manage to put a green hat on the Emperor."
Tao Mingxuan froze, then Pei Shu’er inexplicably thought of ’fake eunuch literature.’
More importantly, eunuchs are not men and often serve around the Emperor and concubines, so they hear more secrets.
Having Tao Mingxuan go also seemed perfect, given it was his ambition anyway.
A win-win situation.
Her eyes bore a hint of amusement.
"Why don’t I ask Tang Zan to find you a cultivation technique to feign as a fake eunuch?"
Tao Mingxuan coldly chuckled: "Okay."
Pei Shu’er was initially joking, testing the waters, but unexpectedly Tao Mingxuan directly agreed.
She was momentarily dumbfounded, suspiciously glancing at Tao Mingxuan.
"You’re joking, right?"
But seeing Tao Mingxuan’s demeanor, she didn’t believe it.
He was determined to do it.
Pei Shu’er admired Tao Mingxuan.
This was indeed a ruthless man.
Recognize that ancient men, no, men in any era really couldn’t easily tolerate becoming eunuchs.
Least of all someone as talented as Tao Mingxuan.
She asked again, and seeing Tao Mingxuan nod, she paused, then said, "Wait."
The cultivation technique for so-called Evil Skill, once mastered, could entirely function as an ordinary cultivation technique with some techniques on top.
Seeing a third place literary graduate abandon literature for martial pursuits, Pei Shu’er felt somewhat regretful.
But she knew how resolute Tao Mingxuan’s determination for revenge was.
Now Tao Mingxuan no longer read books; he only trained.
Tang Zan went out of his way to find someone versed in such Evil Skills to teach Tao Mingxuan.
Of course, this Evil Skill could even change one’s appearance, something many people utilized, though rarely to play the role of a fake eunuch.
