Chapter 950 Sowing discord
Zhuo Minlan was indifferent and ordered them to leave.
"I said I was busy, couldn't Miss Mi hear me?"
"take care."
Realizing that Ning Yunxi was eavesdropping, Mi Yao came up with a plan. She acted like a spoiled child and spoke sweetly.
"Sister Lan, please don't chase me away."
"What I said was really unpleasant to hear. I don't like it, so I'll take it back now."
"It's better not to talk about the affairs of the court. Little sister, just go on as usual and have a heart-to-heart talk with your elder sister, okay?"
"Among all the people in Beizhaotai, Sister Lan loves me the most. Every time I have something on my mind and can't relieve it, you will do your best to comfort me and take care of me in every possible way."
Hearing the change in tone, Zhuo Minlan guessed that Junior Sister had eavesdropped and was discovered by Miss Mi.
Since Mi couldn't persuade her with gossip, she turned her anger to the junior sister and deliberately stirred up trouble.
Haha, such mean tactics.
Zhuo Minlan remained calm and did not rush to fight back. She just listened to her plan and admired her self-righteous look.
Afraid that Ning Yunxi couldn't hear clearly, Mi Yao raised her voice and repeated the exact words.
"I still remember that Lord Zhuo often said: Princess Yuexi, who is she? Isn't she just a person who relies on men and seduces her master? She ignores etiquette and calls Prince Dijin 'you and me'; she has no shame and visits Prince Dijin's mansion late at night before the divorce, and behaves recklessly."
She was complacent and analyzed Lord Zhuo's inner thoughts.
"You look down on her from the bottom of your heart, so why do you have to be so kind to her? The one who has done you a favor is Lord Fang, not Princess Yuexi."
"Lord Zhuo must know that she is not a child raised by Lord Fang."
"How can someone who is in league with Ning Hanwang and his wife be a good person?"
Zhuo Minlan stated her attitude seriously.
"Miss Mi, what you said is wrong."
"The one who is kind is my teacher; the one who is affectionate is my junior sister. They are both very important to me."
She changed her previous ideas and redefined her journey as a junior sister.
"I used to have some misunderstandings about my junior sister, but now I finally see the truth."
"She was independent and self-reliant, and never relied on men. Instead, it was those men who relied on her abilities to gain a foothold in the government."
"She was allowed to address King Di Jin as 'you and me', not because she ignored the etiquette. With her talent and intelligence, it is natural and well-deserved for her to receive such favor."
"King Dijin respectfully addresses my master as 'Aunt Fang', which shows that he is clear about rewards and punishments and is unwilling to treat any meritorious official unfairly. Do you think that my master is relying on men to receive this great favor and is ignoring etiquette?"
"As for the claims of being reckless and flirting with the master, these are all my groundless guesses. They have no basis and cannot be counted."
"Miss Mi, you don't know that although Junior Sister has been married, she is a virgin, unlike you."
The smile on Mi Yao's face suddenly froze.
"What do you mean by not like me?"
"What do you mean by this, Lord Zhuo? Please explain."
Zhuo Minlan rolled her eyes at her.
"I am not used to saying hurtful things, unlike you who are rude and have no respect for my sister."
Mi Yao taunted.
"Master Zhuo, it sounds as if you treat your senior sister with great respect."
Zhuo Minlan remained calm and refuted the argument with reason.
"In a busy official position, we don't care about personal matters. In Beizhaotai, Senior Sister and I are equal. When we discuss official matters, I respond seriously, which means that I respect the position of Beizhao Xiang and don't want to disappoint everyone. Is there a problem?"
"You are different."
"In the court, my junior sister is Princess Yuexi, and you are just a counselor under the command of Prince Li, who is not allowed to see the light of day. Your Highness Prince Li has not been allowed by the Lord to accept retainers. To the outside world, your identity is either Prince Li's concubine or Prince Li's maid."
"As a humble servant, what qualifications do you have to disrespect Princess Yuexi?"
Mi Yao was ashamed and angry, and pointed at others.
"you!"
Zhuo Minlan reminded coldly.
"Similarly, you are not qualified to point directly at me."
Mi Yao drank the wine and felt wronged, so she stopped and came back.
"I have overstepped my bounds. I beg for forgiveness, Master Zhuo."
Zhuo Minlan's eyes turned fierce.
"Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because Junior Sister is protecting you."
"I am only warning you once, Miss Mi, please remember this. If you push me too far, you and your family may suffer the consequences!"
"Back off."
Mi Yao swallowed her anger and knelt down to pay her respects.
"I'll take my leave now."
Watching Mi Yao leave, Zhuo Minlan turned around naturally and "accidentally" saw the figure of her junior sister.
"Junior sister? What are you doing hiding there?"
She pretended to be surprised to make her flattering words seem less deliberate.
"Did you hear our conversation?"
Ning Yunxi appeared and walked quickly towards her senior sister.
"Yes, I roughly understood it."
Zhuo Minlan comforted her and made her sit down, speaking every word with utmost tenderness.
"No wonder Miss Mi suddenly changed her tone. It turns out that she found out that you were listening and tried to sow discord between us."
"Fortunately, we have a strong bond as sisters and can withstand the test."
"I am really stupid. I was so focused on dealing with her that I couldn't pay attention to you. In this regard, Senior Sister is better than me. She can do two things at once. Facing this situation, she can handle it with ease. As for me, I can only rely on treating people with sincerity to resolve the crisis."
Ning Yunxi was very respectful.
"I am lucky to have Second Senior Sister's understanding."
Zhuo Minlan held her junior sister's hand with great affection.
"You are my junior sister, of course I understand you."
The opportunity was perfect, so she took advantage of it and instigated something.
"However, we are all military officials, and our minds are not delicate. Senior Sister, maybe she is not as good as me. Please be tolerant and don't take it to heart."
Ning Yunxi uses precise words.
"My two senior sisters and the rest of my fellow disciples have all treated me very well. I will always remember your kindness."
Zhuo Minlan can't put it down.
"Look at you, you are so sensible. Your personality is like that of your master's husband and your master."
"My little junior sister is the most perfect person in the world."
Ning Yunxi smiled awkwardly.
"Sister, you are too kind. I am ashamed."
She changed the subject.
"I have something to ask, Senior Sister, please agree to it."
Zhuo Minlan's words are full of vigour.
"You said."
"As long as it is something I can do, I will definitely spoil you, without any other concerns."
Considering the feelings of her fourth sister, Ning Yunxi made a request.
"Please, Senior Sister, please don't hurt Fourth Sister with bad words."
"I was afraid of her, and because of that, she hated me."
"I know that you love me dearly and can't bear to see me sad. My feelings are exactly the same as yours, and I don't want my fourth sister to be sad. I beg you to show mercy."
Zhuo Minlan was helpless.
"You mean, if someone bullies Second Senior Sister at will, I'm not allowed to fight back or talk back, right?"
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
"No, no, I don't mean that."
Zhuo Minlan declined.
"You heard my conversation with her. She was the one who provoked me first and tried to sow discord. I was very merciful by sparing her life. If you didn't even let me talk, I would have died of grievance."
"It's not that I don't want to spoil you, but your request is really harsh."
Ning Yunxi promised.
"Please be at ease, Senior Sister. I will also persuade her not to bully you again."
Zhuo Minlan was calm.
"I have never been good at fighting."
"If she keeps quiet, I won't make trouble. We can just live in peace and not interfere with each other."
Ning Yunxi promised.
"I will try my best to resolve the conflict."
Zhuo Minlan nodded.
"it is good."
