The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy
Chapter 23 Encountering an Enemy on the Road
"The toxins in my body have finally been cleared."
Mu Yan stretched her muscles and bones. This was indeed the most poisonous substance in the Western Regions. Even if it was just indirect contact, it made Mu Yan weak for a while. So she had not gone out for some time. She only claimed to others that she had caught a cold and needed to rest well.
Surprisingly, during this period, the mother and daughter Liu have been much quieter and nothing has happened. I don't know if the last warning has taught them a lesson, so she has been living an especially quiet life these days.
"Miss, it's not good!"
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, breaking the peace that had lasted for several days.
Mu Yan frowned.
"Why are you so panicked?"
Shi Ying came running in from outside, breathing heavily, and picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"The news from the palace is that the third young lady will be given the title of county lady."
What happened before made Shi Ying realize the vicious hearts of Liu's mother and daughter. If Mu Wan was named county lord, it would not be a good thing for her young lady.
"County Lord?"
Generally, only the daughters of a prince or a duke are eligible to be named a county princess, unless the emperor grants special permission. But what qualifications does Mu Wan have to deserve this honor from the emperor?
"Have you found out why Mu Wan was named the county lord?"
Shi Ying only reacted at this time and knocked her head quickly, "I was so shocked when I heard the news just now, and I was so anxious to report to the young lady that I forgot to ask the reason."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yu walked in.
"Miss, it is said that when the second young lady accompanied the old lady to the Tianxuan Temple to burn incense, she accidentally saved the Concubine Yi who was praying for the late emperor at the Tianxuan Temple. Concubine Yi and the second young lady got along very well, so she sent someone to tell the emperor about this. The emperor was very pleased and immediately promised to confer the title of county lady on the second young lady."
Concubine Yi was the concubine of the late emperor and had raised the current emperor in his early years. Therefore, the emperor respected her very much. After the death of the late emperor, the emperor specially granted her the renovation of Changchun Palace so that she could live out her days in peace. However, she asked for permission to practice in Tianxuan Temple, and the emperor could not persuade her and agreed.
"Originally, Concubine Yi wanted to ask the emperor to give the third young lady the title of Princess, but considering that the third young lady was born out of wedlock, the emperor allowed her to be a County Princess instead. It is said that the official decree will be issued on the day of the Spring Banquet to confer the title."
Mu Yan heard it without saying a word, tapping the table lightly with her onion-skinny fingers. Shi Ying and the other two stood beside her, not daring to say a word.
She had stayed indoors for a while, so she hadn't paid attention to the movements of Liu's mother and daughter. She didn't expect Mu Wan to have such luck.
In her previous life, Mu Yan had never heard of any interactions between Mu Wan and Concubine Yi, nor had she been conferred the title of county lord. Was it because of her rebirth that the course of some events was disrupted?
Was it a coincidence that Mu Wan saved Concubine Yi, or was there something else going on? This matter still needs to be investigated thoroughly.
But now there are too few people around me who can be used. I had previously thought about finding the Thirteen Killers, but it was delayed due to a series of events. It seems that the matter of finding the Thirteen Killers can no longer be delayed.
The Thirteen Killers of Fengdu were not originally from the imperial court, but from the martial arts world. They were a group of killers trained by the then martial arts leader Zhan Honglang. Zhan Honglang led the Chi Ying Guards to roam the martial arts world for many years, fighting against hundreds of enemies alone and never losing a single time.
They have been passed down from generation to generation and have been passed down for more than a hundred years.
After each master died, they would wait for a new successor to appear. Before Mu Yan appeared, the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu had disappeared from the world for many years.
Mu Yan learned about this matter when she accidentally found her mother's belongings. She also found the secret order and became the new master of Fengdu Thirteen Killers.
"Ling Yu, prepare the car."
Linglongzhai was soon reached. The carriage stopped and the three of them walked towards Linglongzhai.
Before I even reached the door, I could see from afar that Linglongfang was bustling with activity. When I got closer, it seemed like some people were arguing about something. The surrounding customers also stopped to watch, fearing that they would miss something good.
"Lin Shishi, I am now the eldest daughter of the Lin family, so you should give this ancient jade Guanyin to me." A sharp female voice was heard from afar.
The woman who was shouting loudly was dressed very gorgeously, wearing a red silk dress with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread. Her face was heavily made up, but her expression made her seem very mean.
Isn't this Lin Yanyan, the daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy? She is an old acquaintance of hers and also Mu Wan's best friend.
Lin Yanyan has a very good relationship with Mu Wan, so naturally she dislikes Mu Yan. So every time she meets Mu Yan, she will target her intentionally or unintentionally, and Mu Yan will naturally not give in to her. As time goes by, the grudge between the two becomes deeper and deeper.
The woman opposite Lin Yanyan was wearing a purple dress, with picturesque features, a dignified, graceful and gentle temperament.
Mu Yan always felt that this woman's pale complexion and thin figure were very familiar to her, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Seeing Lin Yanyan being so domineering, Lin Shishi raised her thin lips and hit back.
"Although you are the eldest daughter now, there must be a first come first served basis, right?"
"You stupid girl, do you have any respect for your superiors? How dare you snatch things from me?"
As she said that, Lin Yanyan relentlessly tried to snatch the pastry from her hand. Lin Shishi naturally refused to give it to her. During the argument, she not only broke the ancient jade Guanyin, but also knocked some antiques on the counter to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Yanyan became instantly angry and pushed her directly.
"Since I am your eldest sister, you should put me first in everything. You are disrespectful to me. Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my father and mother, so that people won't say that our daughter of the Lin family doesn't know the rules."
Lin Shishi didn't expect that she would suddenly attack. She fell to the ground without standing firmly, and her hands were scratched and broken.
She stared at her bloody hands, her eyes misty, tears hanging on her eyelashes, her teeth lightly biting her red lips, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"you……"
Mu Yan couldn't bear to see beautiful women being wronged, so he stood up without thinking.
"Lin Yanyan, why didn't I know you were so powerful before?"
Mu Yan raised his eyebrows and stared at Lin Yanyan fiercely.
Lin Yanyan's scalp tingled when they were stared at, but she felt confident again when she thought that she had become the eldest daughter of the president of the Hanlin Academy.
"Mu Yan, is it your turn as an outsider to interfere in our Lin family's affairs?"
She was originally the concubine's daughter of the head of the Hanlin Academy. Normally, even if she didn't like Mu Yan, she could only make sarcastic remarks and didn't dare to have a head-on conflict with her. That's why she was so close to Mu Wan. The two of them had common topics because of their similar identities.
But her biological mother, Meng, had been promoted from a concubine to the legitimate Madam Lin some time ago, and she had also become the eldest daughter of the President of the Hanlin Academy. The Minister of Personnel and the President of the Hanlin Academy were both of the second rank, so why should she be afraid of Mu Wan now?
But she forgot that there is a difference between the second rank and the third rank, not to mention that Mu Yan has the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion behind him.
