Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Lu Yingfeng, who had no idea that his daughter's birth had brought him hostility from Song Qiyun, was still thinking about how to convince Yixiu.

With a prepared speech in mind, Lu Yingfeng entered Xili Courtyard as he wished the next day. When he met Yixiu, he chatted with her about daily life as usual.

Yixiu asked about the eldest princess's situation, "Is the eldest princess okay? Your birthday is coming up soon, I wonder how your sister is preparing?"

When Lu Yingfeng mentioned her daughter, she smiled and said happily, "I didn't know that she, at such a young age, would remember that her birthday was coming up. Now she asks me if it's the birthday every day when I open my eyes. It's so annoying."

Yixiu praised the eldest princess, "This shows that the eldest princess is smart and can remember things!"

When Lu Yingfeng heard this, he couldn't suppress his joy.

After the small talk, it was time to talk about business. Lu Yingfeng said seriously, "The eldest princess is my lifeblood, and I believe that Prince Honghui is equally important to my wife."

Yixiu paused with the teacup in her hand and gave Jianqiu a look, and Jianqiu led the servants out of the room.

Yixiu, who already knew Lu Yingfeng's purpose, was not in a hurry at all. She just gently stirred the tea with the cup lid.

Seeing that Yixiu was so calm, Lu Yingfeng did not dare to make trouble, and said earnestly, "The current situation in the mansion is clearer than I am. It doesn't matter what happens to me, but I am afraid that the eldest princess has suffered any injustice."

Yixiu asked knowingly, "It's not up to me to decide where the prince goes!"

Seeing that Yixiu didn't respond, Lu Yingfeng didn't get discouraged and continued, "The prince now favors the young concubine, and I don't expect the prince to consider the eldest princess. Only the concubine's motherly heart can protect us mother and son."

Yixiu was just practicing Tai Chi, "As the legal mother, I naturally treat all children equally."

Lu Yingfeng's heart was sinking. She didn't want to be treated equally. She eagerly said her bargaining chip, "I know I can't help Fu Jin, but fortunately my family still has some connections."

This is what Yixiu wants, "Oh, I wonder if my sister could be the head of the Lu family?"

Lu Yingfeng said firmly, "I have already discussed this with my father. As long as the eldest princess is safe, the Lu family will follow Fu Jin's lead."

Yixiu then said with a genuine smile, "Okay, since you are so straightforward, I won't drag it out. The matter of the eldest princess is easy to solve, but also difficult to solve. It all depends on whether you are willing to give up the title of eldest princess."

The title of the eldest princess? What does this mean? Lu Yingfeng was a little confused.

Yixiu said meaningfully, "Alas, it is not easy to raise a child of the royal family. The prince was originally ranked as the eleventh prince."

Lu Yingfeng recalled the information he already knew and seemed to understand what Yixiu meant.

Seeing that Lv Yingfeng was lost in thought, Yixiu did not keep Lv Yingfeng any longer, "Since you have a guess, you might as well do it."

Lu Yingfeng left thoughtfully. Back at Fuyao Pavilion, Lu Yingfeng asked Mian'er, "Did you say at the beginning that there was a concubine named Song in the backyard?"

Mian'er recalled and introduced Lu Yingfeng, "Yes, but since the death of Concubine Song's daughter, she has never appeared in public again. Why did the master ask about this today?"

Lu Yingfeng said to herself, "Daughter, eldest princess, a title."

Mian'er saw that Lu Yingfeng was a little bit weird, and couldn't help but worry, "Master, is there something wrong with Concubine Song?"

Lu Yingfeng came out of his thoughts, took a deep breath and said, "You have to give before you can gain. Mian'er, go send a note to Concubine Song and ask her when she is free. I want to visit her."

Mian'er was puzzled, but she still followed Lu Yingfeng's instructions and went to Lian Fei Pavilion to pass on the message. Jinzhan, who had been waiting for a long time, told Mian'er that she could come to the house tomorrow.

Lu Yingfeng spent the night in a state of confusion and knocked on the door of Lian Fei Pavilion early in the morning.

It was Jinzhan who opened the door again. Lu Yingfeng came early, and Song Qiyun got up even earlier. After finishing her morning prayers, she was already waiting for Lu Yingfeng in the Buddhist hall.

Jinzhan led Lu Yingfeng to the Buddhist hall, pushed open the door, motioned Lu Yingfeng to go in by himself, stopped Mian'er who wanted to follow, and closed the door.

The somewhat dim Buddhist hall was filled with the scent of sandalwood. Song Qiyun sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha, closing her eyes and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Lu Yingfeng took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative. "May I burn a stick of incense for the eldest princess?"

Song Qiyun's silent meditation was interrupted, and she said coldly, "There is incense on the altar, just take it yourself."

Lu Yingfeng walked gently to the altar, carefully selected three incense sticks, lit them with candlelight, and reverently inserted them into the incense burner.

Song Qiyun looked at Lu Yingfeng silently. After Lu Yingfeng finished praying, she asked, "What is the name of your daughter?"

Lu Yingfeng answered bitterly, "The prince didn't give me a name, so I gave myself a nickname, Jiaojiao."

Song Qiyun said with emotion, "I am not like you young ladies from official families. My daughter has been called 'Big Sister' from birth to death."

Lu Yingfeng comforted Song Qiyun, "No matter what you're called, you're the apple of my mother's eye."

Song Qiyun's eyes were complicated. "In fact, after I knew your daughter had taken the position of the eldest princess, I wanted to kill her. If it weren't for Fu Jin's obstruction, you and your daughter would have been reunited in the underworld long ago."

This made Lu Yingfeng horrified. How could she have imagined that she would provoke Song Qiyun's hatred?

Song Qiyun didn't care about letting Lu Yingfeng know her feelings, "Are you really willing to give up the title of the eldest princess of Prince Yong's Mansion?"

Lu Yingfeng said softly, "As long as Jiaojiao is fine, the title of eldest princess is not important."

Looking at Lu Yingfeng's loving expression, Song Qiyun remembered how she used to be blinded by greed. If it were her, she probably wouldn't give up so readily. People always want too much and end up with nothing left.

Song Qiyun talked about Yixiu's plan, "The prince still has feelings for the eldest sister. I will attend Jiaojiao's birthday banquet in a few days. You should seize the opportunity."

Lu Yingfeng asked Song Qiyun, "Then what do you want?"

Song Qiyun recalled the big promise Yixiu had made for her, "Fu Jin said that as long as the operation was done properly, the eldest sister would have a great name, no longer be buried alone, and enjoy sacrifices."

This was a condition Song Qiyun could not refuse. Her eldest daughter died young, and she didn't know where to bury her for Feng Shui reasons. As a mother, she was afraid that her daughter wouldn't be able to receive the offerings she wanted to burn for her. If she could find her eldest daughter's grave, she would be willing to die immediately if she could receive offerings from her from time to time.

Lu Yingfeng understood Song Qiyun. If it were Jiaojiao..., she would do the same at all costs.

After the discussion, Lu Yingfeng did not stay any longer and said goodbye and left.

Lian Fei Pavilion has been deserted for many years and no one paid attention to it. When Lu Yingfeng came, he was particularly careful to hide. Except for Yi Xiu who was following him, no one noticed that Lu Yingfeng had reached an agreement with Song Qiyun.
