Chapter 87
87 Chang in plan
” I was simply helping him to amend his mistakes.” Yang Ning was in amazement at Yu Ling’s words. The amount of sass that she has in her along with elegance and classiness is impeccable.
She just entered the Yang Household last night and she has already taken control of everything.
Yu Ling not only shut Yang Luoyang’s mouth with her attitude and saved her from getting punished, but is also helping her to move to a better place.
She has never imagined that she can move to a better place since she was aware that Chang Ah and Yang Luoyang will find every possible way to suppress her and it will be difficult for her to go against them alone every single time.
She needed some power to support her back because fighting against them alone would be jumping into the deep lake without any life support – the kind of mistake that she made when she jumped into the lake and almost lost her life for real.
It was one of the traumatic yet teachable lessons that she will never forget in life. How can she forget when she almost rang the doorbell of the gate of the grim reaper and came back unharmed, thanks to Zheng Liang who saved her on time?
That’s why she wanted to bring someone into the household who will not only be on her side and follow her orders but also hold some sort of power against Yang Luoyang and doesn’t go weak in front of them.
She has Xiaowei with her but that girl is too afraid to go against the Masters of the Household since she has seen Yang Ning being tortured for years and doesn’t want her to experience the same pain and torture once again by standing against Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah.
That’s why she asked Zheng Liang to send a maid for support. With the thought that Yang Luoyang and Chang Ah would be conscious of their actions in front of the maid who came from the royal palace. However, she wasn’t expecting to meet Yu Ling, who is already this assertive and charismatic when doing her work.
.....
How could Yu Ling convince Yang Luoyang to allot her a new room? That was like a mission impossible.
Because Yang Luoyang, that bitch is a hypocrite as hell. He wants to reap profit from his daughter but doesn’t want to treat her like one or give her adequate respect in the household.
Thinking about the way he treated Yang Ning all these years gives her goosebumps. Poor her.
All her life she died slowly by Yang Luoyang’s torture and after getting married, his incorrupt and questionable actions put her in a spot and turned her into a criminal, getting her punished for his dishonest actions.

” But Lady Yu Ling, how did you do that? I mean, if I am not wrong, there aren’t any free chambers for me to move into.” Yang Ning asked in puzzlemement.
She would have done it long ago if there were any spare room at the Yang Household. However, there were none and all of them were acquired by someone.
She was curious about how Yu Ling managed to do the miracle. Because she was packed with so many things to deal with Yang Luoyang and Chang that she didn’t have the time to think about her next plan.
She possibly cannot live in this world forever. She needs to find clues or a way to go back to her world.
However, she was lacking the time and energy to do the extra work. However, with Yu Ling’s support now, she can manage the stupid Yang family and can have the time and liberty to deal with other things as well.
But firstly, she needs to know how she managed to convince Yang Luoyang. Without it, she won’t be able to stomach the food today.
After massaging Yang Ning’s feet, Yu Ling started to fold the blanket when she heard Yang Ning’s question. She looked at her with a smile and said, ” Who said there weren’t any chambers at the Yang Household? If you look around carefully, you will find the answer to your questions near you.” She answered meaningfully and left everything to Yang Ning’s imagination.
Yang Ning stared at her in confusion and curiosity. What was the answer near her that she missed? She wondered.

An hour ago-
” Court Lady Yu Ling, Were you waiting for long? Please have a seat.” Yang Luoyang offered a seat to Yu Ling, who was waiting for him in the study room.
He was getting ready to leave for the royal court when the guard informed him that Yu Ling had come to meet him. He was expecting her to come since she told him last night that she will come to see him in the morning with the permission scroll that His Majesty has given to her.
Since there was some time in the royal court proceedings to start, he asked the guard to tell her to wait in the study room for him.
Things were quite chaotic last night, that’s why he didn’t get to check the details with her. However, he was also curious about how she came to the Yang Household to serve Yang Ning and for how long she is going to stay at the Yang Household.
Because he cannot wait for her to leave the Yang Household so that he could take care of stubborn Yang Ning who is getting out of hand under the encouragement of Yu Ling.
” You weren’t late, My Lord. Excuse me for coming to look for you in the morning. However, I wanted to greet you formally before you leave for the palace.” She answered with a smile and pulled out the permission scroll given by His Majesty and showed it to him.
“Ah, Yes.” Yang Luoyang suddenly became polite when he heard His Majesty’s name and took the scroll from her using both of his hands. Even if it is just a scroll, it is a document signed by His Majesty.
It cannot be disrespected.
He pursed his lips and read the permission scroll signed by His Majesty. She was indeed sent to the Yang Household to serve Yang Ning, who is going to become the Crown Princess. Not only that but there was His Majesty’s seal and the royal emblem’s seal at the bottom of the scroll as well.
” Haha. There was no need for you to come and show this to me. I believe you.” He said with a fake smile.
It was the same thing and he doesn’t want to read the whole thing and ruin his mood in the morning. When he was about to fold the scroll and put it away, his eyes widened in shock when he noticed something strange written on it.
“Since you’re saying that you are here to serve Yang Ning until she gets better then there is no need for me to check for anything m-” Yang Luoyang’s eyes wavered when he noticed something out of the ordinary written on it.
His expression turned grave as he read the scroll silently and looked up at Yu Ling in bafflement. “Court Lady Yu Ling, are you sure you aren’t mistaken and bring the incorrect permission scroll with you?”
“Yes. It is the authorization letter sealed by His Majesty. It is the correct one.” Yu Ling answered as she took a sip of the tea that the maid served her earlier.
“But....how can it be?” Yang Luoyang pursed his lips as he tried hard to not show the displeased expression on his face.
” Here it says that you are here to serve Yang Ning until she marries into the royal family and not until she recuperates completely. There are more than two months until the royal wedding. How can that be possible?” He was bewildered as he couldn’t believe what he just read.
” You’re the Head of Court Ladies at the Royal palace, how can you stay away from your duties for a long time? What about the work and preparations of the wedding at the palace?” He asked as he couldn’t control his complex emotions.
It cannot be the right scroll. Something is wrong. Why would His Majesty send the Head of Court Ladies of the palace to the Yang Household to serve Yang Ning until the royal wedding? Why would they give so much significance to a useless girl like Yang Ning?
Yu Ling put down the teacup on the table as she answered his curious questions, ” Minister Yang, as I said earlier, it is the right authorization letter sealed by His Majesty.” She said,
“At first, I was supposed to stay at the Yang Household until Lady Yang Ning gets better. However, after witnessing the way she is being treated at the Yang Household yesterday, I went to the royal palace early in the morning and requested His Majesty to extend the period of my stay until the royal wedding.”
Yang Luoyang: “????”
