Mother, why are you so angry? It's just two maidservants. If they don't use their strength, just directly sell them and change them to a smarter ones. In the room, Luo Qingxuan was sitting on a red wooden chair, smiling as he spoke.

A twelve-year-old youngster was in the midst of changing his voice. His voice was less tender, but more hoarse. He was tall, had red lips, white teeth, and a smile on his face. Every move he made exuded a scholarly elegance.

However, his words carried a sense of coldness.

"Forget it, changing two people will take time to train them. These two girls still have some loyalty. Moreover, mother has used them for so long, so it's not bad." Hearing the words "mother", Consort Xue had an extra smile on her face. She shook her head and said, "Moreover, you can't blame them for what happened today. Mother was indeed too reckless."

Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, she was indeed too impulsive today. Even if she was angry with Luo Wuyou, she could still do it in secret.

Moreover, Luo Wuyou said one sentence, was right: The sandpiper mussels fight, and the fisherman will reap the rewards!

It was true that she hated Yong Zhao for taking all of Prime Minister's favors and was her biggest enemy in her heart, but on the other hand, she was also the thorn in her heart.

It was not only her, this aunt within the Prime Minister's Mansion was the thorn in Yong Zhao's heart, especially Gu Ruolan. All these years, it was not as if she had never attacked them before, it was just that, facing such a large backer like the imperial family, they could only retreat and choose to hide away.

But even so, in all these years, haven't a few children disappeared from this house?" Seven years ago, Aunt Li was pregnant for three months and was still a baby boy. Five years ago, a maid who had slept with Luo Bingshu for a night and conceived a child, five months ago, she had fallen into a lotus pond, one dead and two lives.

The one in his womb was also a baby boy.

Since then, there had been no news of the happy occasion within the Prime Minister's Mansion. After that, not only did everyone avoid Yong Zhao, they even avoided the Prime Minister s. In these past few years, the Prime Minister had never stepped foot into the courtyard of these concubines again, until Gu Ruolan, who was in the Yilan Garden, was pregnant with An'er.

That night, Gu Ruolan's labour was in an uproar in the residence. It was very obvious who the culprit was, other than Yong Zhao, who else had that kind of ability?

Naturally, it was not because she didn't want to get rid of the child in Gu Ruolan's womb, it was just that Gu Ruolan had been covering her whole body and by the time the news of her pregnancy spread, the child had already been in Gu Ruolan's stomach for seven whole months. In the following two months, Gu Ruolan's courtyard had been even more tightly guarded, even if she wanted to take action, she had not found the appropriate opportunity.

Yong Zhao did not let her down, even though she had made her move, her efforts had all been for naught, and she was ruined by the little girl Luo Wuyou.

In fact, why bother?

The empress dowager was in charge of Yong Zhao, and the emperor was in charge of her. If it were her in her place, she would not care about backbone, integrity, or reputation, and just directly frame her, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of Gu Ruolan?

Heh, what a pity. Yong Zhao was just such an awkward person, one who thought herself to be high and mighty, who wanted to show off her princess demeanor and take over the Prime Minister by herself while holding everyone in her hands.

"What is Aunt thinking?"

Luo Qingxuan sat upright, and upon seeing the change in Consort Xue's expression, she seemed to be lost in her own thoughts, and asked casually.

Consort Xue recovered her senses, and unintentionally Luo Wuyou's voice sounded in her head again. After pondering for a moment, she said: "Xuan, what do you think about that girl Luo Wuyou?"

"Did Little Sister Wuyou and Mother say something today?"

"Oh, that's true. However, I keep having the feeling that this girl has changed …" she has changed, if it had not, how would she have the guts to go against Yong Zhao?

Consort Xue frowned, but she did not plan to tell Luo Qingxuan what Luo Wuyou had told her. It was already hard enough for Xuan to study and learn every day, she did not want to bother him with these things again.

Her Xuan was someone who would do great things and was also the eldest son of this Master Shu in the Prime Minister's Mansion. At the very least, before Yong Zhao gave birth to her son, her position in the Xuan could not be regretted.

But after that?

Was she going to retreat like this forever?

How long could they retreat for …

She knew it was the safest way to protect himself, but why was she still unwilling?

"Is that so? Little Sister Wuyou was a child, so the things that she said, Little Sister should not be taken to heart. As for Little Sister, Little Mother should not worry too much, as Little Sister will always have me in her care. "When father returns to the palace, your son will go and beg father. My sister is also father's flesh and blood, father will definitely not leave sister behind."

Seeing that Consort Xue did not say anything, Luo Qingxuan did not pursue the matter further and comforted her. However, a ray of light flashed across his eyes.

Did she really not say anything?

Then why did his mother have such a strange expression on her face? And why was she absent-minded in front of him?

Luo Wuyou, the younger sister who was only three months younger than him, who was a half sister to him, in these past few days, he had heard too many servants discussing her.

All of them said that she had changed.

Today, Mother actually asked him what he thought of Luo Wuyou?

It looked like he had to find a good opportunity to see his good sister and see exactly where she had changed!

"Miss, are you really alright?"

On the way back to the Wuyou Pavilion, Lv Qing asked for the third time. She couldn't figure it out, but what happened between the young miss and Consort Xue after she left?

To the point that Consort Xue who looked like she was about to crazily beat up and kill the little miss had quickly regained her senses and was courteous and friendly to the little miss.

"I'm fine." Luo Wuyou's expression remained indifferent as she replied once again: "Lv Qing, just let your heart be at ease for now, your young miss is really alright."

How could she be? Even if there was something on her mind, it had to be someone else! For example, the Consort Xue. Or the Old Mistress.

"Then, will Consort Xue look for trouble with young miss again? Consort Xue looks so scary today. " Lv Qing patted her chest. Thinking of that scene, her face was full of fear and worry.

"Don't worry, I won't. Even if she wanted to cause trouble for me, didn't I have my grandmother protecting me? Alright, let's go take a look at An'er. It's been a whole night since we last met. Luo Wuyou thoughtfully looked at her, smiled, and said it with complete certainty.

Lv Qing had a face full of doubt and wanted to ask more questions, but Luo Wuyou had already changed the subject, and her footsteps had quickened by a few steps. Obviously, she did not plan to answer her question.

Luo Wuyou's footsteps were light and nimble, yet her eyes were fixated on the courtyard in the southeast direction. The corners of her mouth held a smile as if she was bathed in spring wind.

As long as Luo Mingxia was alright, the Consort Xue would not target her anymore. The medicine Luo Xian'er had given her was naturally not some poison, it was just a powder that could cause one to hallucinate. That kind of powder would cause one's most hated and most hated thing in their heart to appear out of the blue, growing to an unlimited size, to the point where it would cause one's consciousness to go berserk.

That medicine had a very nice name, it was called Dream, and came from Luo Xian'er. It only had a effects of three days, and after enduring it for three days, even if he didn't use antidote s, Luo Mingxia would still be fine. This method, Luo Wuyou used it on many people in her previous life as well.

However, it was hard to say how far this person would wake up or if he would suffer from any side effects after the effects of the pill had dissipated.

did not plan to really kill her, and taking Luo Mingxia's life was very simple for Luo Xian'er. But, if Luo Mingxia died, where would she be able to find such a good chess piece? With her vengeful personality, and the fact that she wasn't willing to let her off so easily, she had naturally thought of using this method to give Luo Mingxia a bit of punishment.

This was Luo Xian'er, a young lady who was only ten years old and had an innocent appearance, yet was extremely vicious inside.

Furthermore, she didn't think that just by saying a few words today, she would be able to start a fight between and the Consort Xue. After all, Yong Zhao was an enormous enemy, and the fear they had towards her was deeply rooted.

If it was her in her previous life, she would have chosen the same strategy as Consort Xue, to retreat. As for Consort Xue, she was clearly more fortunate than her mother, because in her previous life, even after Nangong Jingyu ascended the throne, Yong Zhao had grown older than forty, and had not given birth to a son for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the only male in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Qingxuan naturally received the greatest protection from both the Old Mistress and the Prime Minister Luo. At the very least, Luo Qingxuan had safely grown up, and after doing so many things, he was not like her younger brother, An'er, who could only miserably die in his mother's womb in his previous life.

She did not know whether or not Luo Qingxuan had inherited the Luo's Mansion, but at that time, Yong Zhao and the Consort Xue had interacted and the two of them seemed to have become one, standing at the top of the alliance side.

As for her and her big brother Ye, whether or not Consort Xue and her were willing to help in all of this, was truly up to no.

Only, Luo Wuyou could not understand, why did Nangong Jingyu want to make Luo Xian'er her successor, and why did Yong Zhao wholeheartedly want Luo Xian'er to marry into the Middle Palace?

Were they really born with the ambition to inherit the royal bloodline even as a royal family member?

At that time, Luo Xian'er was already eighteen years old, and had long since passed the age of marriage. Originally, Yong Zhao had taken a liking to the King Li, but Luo Xian'er had also wholeheartedly wanted to marry the King Li. Unfortunately, the two of them had never succeeded.

Before this, the Emperor had ordered for Luo Xian'er to marry someone. However, the other party had suddenly passed away the night before their marriage, so naturally, the marriage didn't end there.

In other words, Luo Xian'er was not only an old lady, she was also an old lady who had killed her fiance. Nangong Jingyu, he was actually willing to take her?

This question lingered in her mind all along, but even if she racked her brains, she still couldn't come up with an answer to it.

Although she did not know the answer, she understood one thing. She would definitely not let Luo Xian'er go.

Surely not.

Her target had always been Luo Xian'er and she was the main character of this show. Without her, how could this show continue?

Saying that entering the palace to accompany the empress dowager was merely a pretext given by Nanny Li to save face for the Old Mistress. After staying in the imperial harem for so long, Luo Wuyou believed that she could tell a little bit of whether or not a person was lying.

Although Nanny Li had covered up well, her eyes still flickered a little. A person's eyes would not lie.

Luo Xian'er, you want to hide in your own courtyard and watch the fight from the sidelines, how can I let you do as you wish!

The scene of a martial arts performance on the side of the pond should have already been heard by Luo Xian'er and the Old Mistress by now, right? I wonder if Luo Xian'er can still sit still at this time?

And Consort Xue, having first caused Old Mistress to lose face and now causing trouble in the Palace, Old Mistress should be even more disappointed in Consort Xue, right?

Consort Xue, this is just me taking a bit of interest from Luo Mingxia, she has secretly harmed An'er.

Who told you she was your daughter?

They say that a father pays his debt, and on the other hand, a woman pays her debt in full. This debt, it's only natural that I seek it back from you, isn't it?

Tranquil Heart Academy

Old Madame Luo, who was originally tired and wanted to rest, was now sitting high up in the hall. Not a trace of detail or emotion could be seen on her face.

"Nanny Li, what do you think about this matter?" After a long while, Old Madame Luo opened her eyes and looked at Nanny Li who was standing at the side with her head lowered.

Nanny Li did not raise her head, she thought for a while and said: "Old Mistress does not need to worry, I think, after this, Consort Xue will not be reckless anymore, it is just a misunderstanding, and that is all Miss Wuyou has to explain."

With regards to the household affairs of Prime Minister's Mansion, as a servant girl, it would naturally not be good for her to talk too much. Although she was Old Mistress's companion and had followed her for forty-six years, as her servant, she would always keep it in mind.

She was able to live safely up to now, and even obtained the trust of the Old Mistress. Wasn't it because she was loyal, and had always been mindful of her own duty, and had always been obedient?

"Gui Qi, you …" How could the Old Mistress not understand Nanny Li's thoughts? She shook her head and sighed: "In front of me, is there anything else I can't say?"

Seeing Old Mistress call out her name, Nanny Li's expression became moved, and naturally knew that Old Mistress wanted to hear her truth, thus she muttered to herself for a moment and said: "According to this servant, I am afraid that the matter regarding Little Master and Consort Lan that night, gave Miss Wuyou a huge blow. Adding that, yesterday, the words that Consort Xue said were probably too much, so there were some changes to it, and it is normal for her to want to protect herself."

"This servant thinks that Miss Wuyou need not worry too much. Consort Lan is a person who knows what she's doing.

Her mind was clear, Consort Lan was worthy of these words!

It's not that I don't know that Wuyou is being wronged, it's just that my palm is flesh, and the back of my hand is also flesh. I just hope that they can stop when they have reached the limit of what they can do, and look at their own bodies. Old Madame Luo was a little helpless.

In the end, she had grown up and became sensible. She now knew that she was unwilling. However, there were some things that could not be forgiven. Even though she had lived half her life, there were still some matters that she could not tolerate.

Not to mention, she was the one who had no one to rely on?

"All these years, our Prime Minister's Mansion seems to be incomparably glorious. Marrying a princess' wife to enter the door and bring glory to our family, however, how could the princess be so good-natured? If we weren't forced into a corner, how could I have … "Sigh, it's fine if you don't want to say it, and it's fine if you don't want to say it …"

As the Old Mistress spoke, she had a look of helplessness on her face. With the degree to which Bingshu had been valued by the emperor and his own ability, promoted to prime minister was only a matter of time, but unfortunately …

No matter what, Bingshu making this decision was his own decision. Since he had made this choice, then no matter how bitter or sour it was, he would have to swallow it into his own stomach. Sometimes in life, it was just like this.

"Miss, don't think too much into it. County Princess is also a child and has been spoiled too much.

After following Old Mistress for more than forty years, what else did she not understand? She clearly understood Old Mistress's methods, and she also clearly understood the suffering and helplessness in her heart.

"Even if I want to be alone, I'm afraid there are some people in this mansion who are unwilling to give me this quiet." Old Mistress shook her head. How could she not worry? Until today, it was not easy for Bingshu. It was said that the Qi family governed the nation, and ruled the whole world, while the families could not, so how could Bingshu be at ease to serve the imperial court.

The Luo's Mansion had finally calmed down after a few years, and due to the birth of An'er, that tranquility would probably be broken once again!
