The original owner, Leng Xiao, was a legitimate child, but her mother died less than a year after giving birth to her. Prime Minister Leng married his step-wife and later gave birth to legitimate children. Naturally, no one cared about her, not even as good as those born by his aunt.
She was not taken seriously before she got married. After marrying King Yi Nangong Yitian, she was immediately thrown into the abandoned courtyard. Her family had long looked down on her. If she hadn't given birth to a son now and moved into Zhanyue Residence, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not be here today. She won't be asked to come back.
Of course, Leng Xiao can also think of the purpose of returning home.
In the main hall, Prime Minister Leng's step-wife Chen was waiting for her with her female relatives. She took a look and saw that there were aunts and concubines in the second and third bedrooms. None of the brothers and sisters who had the same father as the original owner were present.
Ms. Chen comes from a noble family. Although she is in her thirties, she is well-maintained. She has fair skin, elegant makeup, and the dignity of a noble lady.
She did a good job of showing off, and took all the female family members to meet the princess before sitting down and greeting her with some concern.
After the people in the second and third bedrooms presented the gifts to Little Turtle Egg, they made excuses one after another to leave. They were not even willing to respond in vain, and they did not even look at Little Turtle Egg.
After everyone left, Mrs. Chen stopped her polite smile and said calmly: "Your father is waiting for you in the study, go ahead."
The bait has been out for a year and it’s time to take it back in and see what we caught.
This was the purpose of sending a carriage to bring her back this time.
When Leng Xiao turned around and walked out of the main hall, she heard the lady in charge beside Mrs. Chen say, "The eldest lady seems to be different when she comes back this time. She is not as humble and respectful to you as before."
Chen's voice was still cold, "I thought I had become a phoenix by flying up a branch, but I don't know that this so-called phoenix is worse than a fallen chicken. It's just a chess piece. If I weren't afraid that her reputation would be too bad and harm the sisters, I would I was too lazy to save her that day."
That day, the original owner Leng Xiao was framed by Princess Qing. It was the people from the Prime Minister's Palace who protected her and saved her life until King Yi returned.
Leng Xiao knew this, but she thought that Prime Minister Leng still cared about the relationship between father and daughter, so he would protect her, but he did not expect that he was just afraid that her bad reputation would implicate her other daughters.
Lengxiao curled her lips and sneered, so cool.
But she didn't say anything, she just asked Nanny Zhu and Nurse Xu to wait in the side hall, and they would leave after meeting Prime Minister Leng.
There were some things she had to figure out.
For example, the reason why Prime Minister Leng wanted to kill King Yi.
According to the memory of the original owner, when he arrived at the study, the steward Wan Shu was waiting at the door. When he saw her coming, he knocked on the door and said, "Master, the eldest lady is here."
"Come in!" A dignified and deep voice came from inside.
Leng Xiao pushed the door open and went in. There was not enough light in the study, the windows were closed and only two candles were lit.
The furnishings in the study are classical and luxurious. The decoration and furniture are all made of excellent materials. The tables, chairs and screens are all made of golden nanmu and are matching. They are expensive to make.
Prime Minister Leng was sitting on the nanmu chair with carved gold wire behind the desk. He was wearing a black brocade robe. He was about forty years old, with a thin face and sharp eyes, as if he had been unsmiling for a long time, and he looked very serious.
This is the father of the original owner, the powerful Prime Minister Leng.
Seeing Leng Xiao, his expression became even more severe, "Why did you want to offend Princess Qing? Have you forgotten the purpose of your marriage?"
Not a word of concern, not the slightest bit of distress, just condemnation.
Leng Xiao sat down on the chair next to him and looked at Prime Minister Leng, "Wen Lan said, you want me to poison King Yi to kill him. His legs are now disabled, why do you still want to kill him?"
"Just do what I ask you to do. Why do you ask so many questions?" Prime Minister Leng frowned and said displeased.
