Chapter Twelve

  Grand Chancellor's Office

  Murong Yi still lived in the courtyard before she got married.

  As soon as she entered the courtyard, Mu Rong Yi stopped and looked around calmly. The memories that remained in her mind were still vivid. At first, Mu Rong Yi was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, and because of her status as the elder sister, even if Jiang Yue wanted to cut corners on Mu Rong Yi's expenses, she would be constrained by Mu Rong Yi's identity. Therefore, the courtyard where Mu Rong Yi lived was still neat and clean.

  Jiang Yue and others did not expect that Murong Yi, who would be abandoned by Gong Ou no matter what, could still come back alive, so they didn't even have time to put on a show.

  The courtyard in front of me has been abandoned for a long time.

  Murong Yi's index finger gently pressed on the sun spot, smiling and shaking her head: "It seems that she never thought of coming back." With such a family member like Murong Yi, she didn't know whether to feel pitied or not. A person's fate has always been in their own hands; if they want to be a weed, don't expect others to treat them as treasure. When she was only eight years old, her grandfather and parents were all brutally murdered by someone, but she relied on her own wit to master the family's secret techniques. Over several years, hiding her true identity, she gradually got close to the enemy, and every day, the most common thing she did was chat with the enemy, watching him talk about how he killed her family with a self-satisfied smile.

  When she destroyed her enemy's century-old conglomerate and saw his descendants living in various hardships, like street rats, with only half a breath left after spitting blood, she said to him: "I am the girl you often mention, who can be trampled to death with just one foot."

  She is different from Murong Yi in that she chooses her own destiny!

  "Tian'er doesn't understand what Mama is saying." Tian'er raised her head, and on her small face was a look of complete puzzlement.

  At the sound, she lowered her head to look at Tian Er, and the emotions that had been buried deep in her heart seemed to be slowly awakening. She bent down, her slender hands gently stroking Tian Er's small face, and smiled: "This Prime Minister's mansion is really not likable, after we get all the things, mother will take Tian Er to travel around the world, how about that?"

  "Tian'er doesn't like them either, especially not his maternal grandmother and even less so his maternal grandfather. They all bully his mother, so Tian'er dislikes them even more." Tian'er lifted up his delicate little face, looking at Mu Rong Yi with a soft voice, "He really likes the feeling of being protected by his mother, he likes it even more when his mother smiles at him."

  Murong Yi's eyebrows rose slightly as she smiled carelessly, "Don't you like them?"

  "Uh-huh!" Tian'er nodded without hesitation.

  The touch under his hand was smooth, and looking at Tian Er's lovely and innocent face, Murong Yi lowered his head and kissed Tian Er's small cheek. Hmm, it seemed that having a son wasn't bad either.

  "Daughter..." Tian Er's small face turned bright red.

  Murong Yi smiled lightly.

  Tian'er likes being spoiled by his mother.

  It was beyond defense, Murong Yi first heard a loud " boom" sound, followed by the feeling of wetness on her face. The corner of her mouth twitched, this little scoundrel! Her face...the place on her face...was absolutely...her face!

  "Mom's face smells so good..."

  Murong Yi's mouth twitched again, and just as she was about to teach Tian'er a lesson not to randomly kiss people, in the blink of an eye, her words changed to "Yes, Mother also likes being kissed by Tian'er."

  Luo An Yuan

  Luxurious and elegant, besides the front yard, it is the backyard of Lu'an Courtyard. Just like a person's character, Jiang Yue likes everything that looks valuable, and the first impression that Lu'an Courtyard gives people is its luxuriousness and elegance. Since she moved into Lu'an Courtyard, she has been renovating it extensively to show off her noble status as the wife of the prime minister.

  As soon as she entered the house, Jiang Yue gave an order and had someone close the door. There were only two people left in the room: her and Murong Yin.

  "Unexpectedly, Murong Yi this cheap woman actually changed her temper. Not only did she not give me any face in front of everyone, but also wanted to take back her dowry." Jiang Yue suppressed the anger in her heart and drank two cups of cold tea before calming down, then said with a resentful expression.

  Murong Yin's expression was deep and solemn, her slender eyebrows tightly furrowed. Previously, she had never looked directly at Murong Yi, because Murong Yi had never been an obstacle in her path, nor was he worthy of her attention. Any one of her younger sisters could easily toy with Murong Yi in the palm of their hand, but today, whether it was his reaction or counterattack methods, Murong Yi's unexpected moves made her feel a sense of crisis!

  "Now that Father has agreed, Mother should return the dowry." Murong Yin said calmly. From today's attitude of Murong Yi, it can be seen that if Mother does not return the dowry, Murong Yi will definitely make more trouble. Now, the King of Ziyuan is still in the Prime Minister's mansion, and absolutely cannot afford to cause more trouble. However, this matter depends on what Mother decides to do.

  Jiang Yue was not willing, "These things were mine many years ago, now I'm so easily returning them, Mu Rong Yi's thoughts are good!" Her voice was extremely low, because she wasn't foolish, the old master had already agreed, if she continued to make excuses and showed reluctance, it would only annoy him. So the dowry must be returned, but it depends on how she returns it!

  The mother and daughter just exchanged a few simple sentences, but they already had a plan in place.

  "Right, just now the old master told me that tonight he wants to let Murong Yi serve as a concubine for the Ziyue Kingdom's Emperor for one night. It seems like the old master has treated Murong Yi as a lowly courtesan. If she spends the night with him and the emperor doesn't take her away, it will be absolutely impossible for her to marry in the future. She might even become the laughing stock of the entire Wangyue Kingdom." Jiang Yue said with a pleased smile. Originally unhappy, after hearing this news, she felt extremely delighted. The old master, in order to satisfy the emperor's desires, letting Murong Yi, as a legitimate daughter, do such a thing as becoming a courtesan, it seems like he doesn't care about Murong Yi at all!

  Even if Murong Yi was arrogant outside the mansion earlier, isn't she still just like a lowly dancer girl once she returns to the Prime Minister's mansion?

  Upon hearing this, Murong Yin's beautiful face turned pale. "What? Father actually wants Murong Yi to serve the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is of such high status, and Murong Yi is no longer a virgin, how can she serve the Crown Prince?! If the Crown Prince needs serving, aren't there still virgins among the palace dancers?"

  "Who knows, maybe it's because of Murong Yi's enchanting appearance." Jiang Yue was completely in a state of joy and complacency, without noticing the sudden change in Murong Yin's complex expression.

  Murong Yin lightly bit her lip, she had a bad premonition, no matter what tonight she couldn't let Murong Yi serve He Lan Ting. There was a strong feeling that Murong Yi would become her arch-nemesis. Thinking of He Lan Ting's enchanting face and noble status, it was said that the entire Purple Swallow Country was under He Lan Ting's control.

  But... she is the Prime Minister's daughter.

  Prime Minister's daughter?

  Her eyes lit up instantly, precisely because she and Murong Yi had different identities, and the Crown Prince's choice tomorrow would also be different, and he would definitely give her an identity that would satisfy both her father and herself!
