"As you predicted, Miss," Hai Tang said in a room with only her and Yang Mengchen present. "Ms. Bei has made her move."
It turned out that Ms. Bei had written to Duke Anle's illegitimate eldest son, Liang Yun, threatening and tempting him with the Princely Heir's position to help her ruin Young Master Yao's reputation.
Liang Yun had always admired Ms. Bei and was desperate to seize the Princely Heir position of the Hou Mansion. Upon receiving her letter, which also alluded to the Bei family's relationship with Prince Chen (a fact Ms. Bei had deliberately let him know), he readily agreed to her plan.
