After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

As the sky gradually darkened, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a brilliant light on Feiyu Pavilion.

Xiao Yunxi sat on the recliner, looking at the happy carp in the pond, took a sip of tea, and kept thinking about the old lady's words:

"Helping Jing Ting is helping yourself. The title of Zhennan Prince's Consort is beneficial to you."

"Heh." Xiao Yunxi shook her head. "It's really a shame to keep the title of the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Prince."

But the old lady wouldn't say this for no reason. What was it that she didn't expect?

"Princess, you are still thinking about what the old lady said," Chunxiao brought snacks, "but she is just pretending to be profound in order to keep you."

"Besides keeping away the peach blossoms, I can't think of anything I can do to help you, my lord."

Xiao Yunxi was stunned. Could it be that he was really helping me to ward off romantic interests?

Although the Ningguo Mansion has no military power, most of the civil and military officials in the court are students of his grandfather and uncle, so it is not an exaggeration to call them Xiao Banchao.

My mother is the eldest daughter of the late emperor and the elder sister of the current emperor.

I can definitely be considered to be of noble birth, beautiful appearance and great talent.

I still remember a family banquet in the palace when I was young, where my uncle the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage with my mother...

But after she came of age, there was no further news and no one ever came to propose marriage to her.

I'm afraid someone did this deliberately.

The prince is much older than me and has already married a wife. The remaining princes...

Could it be that the emperor uncle does not want his sons other than the crown prince to marry a wife of noble birth and powerful maternal family?

Or the prince?

Or...the Queen?

Chunxiao stood aside and didn't dare to say anything. Could it be that she was really right?

"Princess..."

Chun Xiao spoke carefully, "I am sorry for talking too much."

Xiao Yunxi came back to her senses, "You are not talking too much, you are probably telling the truth."

Chunxiao's eyes widened in fear.

If you are really targeted by those concubines in the royal family, you will be in trouble.

No matter how noble the princess is, she cannot compare to the emperor's own son!

No matter how much the emperor uncle loved her, he would never allow his sons to stab each other because of a woman.

There was also a queen who had a feud with her mother.

Could it be that the old prince and the queen reached an agreement back then?

In Prince Dingyuan's mansion, Mo Ruochen listened to his subordinates' reports, and his thoughts coincided with Xiao Yunxi's.

The staff standing by whispered, "Why would the queen help the Zhennan Palace?"

Mo Ruochen leaned back with a sneer on his face, "The queen was whipped by the eldest princess, and she has resentment in her heart, so naturally she doesn't want her daughter to have an easy life.

He couldn't allow his precious sons to fight among themselves because of Xiao Yunxi.

As long as Xiao Yunxi married into the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, it would, on the one hand, be a slap in the face of the eldest princess and make her daughter a laughing stock of Dali; on the other hand, it would put an end to her sons' dreams of marrying into the royal family.

It's beneficial and harmless, so why not do it? "

"Then why did the eldest princess whip the empress with the golden whip given by the late emperor?"

The staff was puzzled.

Mo Ruochen said nothing, his face was calm and his voice was still cold, "Because of this king."

The aide was shocked and was about to continue asking questions when he saw Mo Ruochen wave his hand and let him go.

The staff had no choice but to bow and leave.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yuan had just finished dinner and was about to go out to play when he saw Lu Ze walk in with a dazed look on his face.

"younger sister..."

Lu Yuan tilted his head and looked at him, and ordered the maid, "You all go out, I want to study with my brother."

After the maids left, she pulled Lu Ze to sit on a chair and asked, "Didn't my brother go to ask for mercy from my great-grandmother? Why do you look like this? Doesn't the old woman agree to let mother go?"

Lu Ze trembled and said, "They came into the mansion with my mother as concubines, and they also wanted to... poison us to death!"

He had just been hiding outside the window of Shou'an Hall, and was frightened silly when he heard the old lady's words.

Lu Yuan widened his eyes, pursed his lips and dared not speak.

After a while, she came to her senses and started crying, "Brother, what should I do? I don't want to die."

Lu Ze was also scared. Yesterday, he heard that his mother was going to be executed, so he thought about going to the old lady to beg for mercy. Unexpectedly, he heard that the old lady was going to poison him and his sister!

"Sister, stop crying! If others know about this, the chronic poison will become an acute poison!"

He covered Lu Yuan's mouth with his hand and whispered, "Only our stepmother can save us in this mansion!"

Although Lu Ze is young, he is not stupid. He knows that he must have someone to rely on if he wants to survive.

My mother is now locked up in the woodshed.

The grandmother no longer had the kindness she once had towards them.

Their father never treated them kindly.

Now my great-grandmother wants to poison them.

Only Xiao Yunxi was left.

The only person he can rely on and trust is Xiao Yunxi.

"But it was Xiao Yunxi who killed my mother!"

Lu Ze was also worried about his mother, but he still insisted, "Sister, think about Lu Zhan. Who in the mansion doesn't look up to him now?"

"It's not because he's so outstanding, but because he has Xiao Yunxi as his backer."

"As long as we win Xiao Yunxi's favor and gain a firm foothold in the palace, mother will naturally have a good life."

Although Lu Yuan was unwilling, she believed in her brother, so she nodded and agreed, "Then what should we do?"

"Let's learn from Lu Zhan first. We should follow his example in treating Xiao Yunxi!"

"Ok!"

Early the next morning, Lu Jingting came to Shou'an Hall to pay his respects.

"How are you going to deal with Lin Wan'er? Beat her to death or hand her over to the authorities?"

Lu Jingting was silent for a moment. "What did you discuss with Xiao Yunxi yesterday? How does she want to deal with Lin Wan'er?"

"Is she... angry?"

"The princess is not angry, she just suggested that we deal with it according to the laws of the Dali calendar."

When Lu Jingting heard that Xiao Yunxi was not angry, his eyes dimmed instantly.

He said sadly, "After all, she is the biological mother of Lu Ze and Lu Yuan. She cannot die in the mansion. But if she is sent to the court, I am afraid that Lu Ze will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future, and Lu Yuan will not be able to marry."

"Why not just send him back to the countryside and find someone to take care of him."

The old lady sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered with it for so long!"

"Tell everyone that the Lin family's cousin has contracted an epidemic and died suddenly. Tattoo the word 'rape' on her face, and from now on she will just be your lowly concubine Lin!"

Lu Jingting: "Just do as grandma says. In the future, just give her three meals a day. Anyway, I won't favor her anymore."

After leaving Shou'an Hall, he went to work and did not return home until sunset.

After dinner, he went to Feiyu Pavilion to meet Xiao Yunxi.

"Today, I have discussed with the old lady. Lin Wan'er will change her status and enter the mansion as a concubine."

Xiao Yunxi continued to feed the fish, "I know, she still needs to have the word '奸' tattooed on her face. It was requested by me and the old lady."

Hearing this, Lu Jingting looked at her straight. Was this because of jealousy?

"Why...why do you want to..."

Xiao Yunxi turned her head and looked at Lu Jingting, "First, it's to make an example of others, so that the maids and servants in the mansion won't follow suit and want to light a musk and wear a light veil to seduce the master to the throne!"

"Second, she deserved it. Being unfaithful as a woman is extremely dirty!"

"I find the following matters too dirty, so I'll have to trouble you to handle the follow-up matters for her."

Knowing that Xiao Yunxi was unhappy, Lu Jingting didn't dare to say anything else.

Before leaving, he whispered, "I won't touch her again."

"Tsk." Xiao Yunxi curled her lips, "Your Highness has eaten shit, and you think that after brushing your teeth, your mouth will be clean?!"

"..."

Lu Jingting paused and left in embarrassment.

Hongyu and Cuiwei, who had been serving as background characters, felt a little nauseous because they had kissed Lu Jingting on the mouth when they slept with him.

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Once Lin Wan'er enters the backyard, you better be careful."

"That woman doesn't give up so easily!"

Hongyu didn't agree. She curled her lips and said, "You think too highly of that bitch. How can a woman who made the prince lose face and disfigured herself have the ability to make a comeback?"

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said nothing.

How could such an incompetent woman give birth to a son and a daughter and raise them safely under the noses of the old prince and the old lady?
