Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

"Master, Luoxue has not returned home all night. I'm afraid this reputation is..." Zhang saw Prime Minister Su stand up and walk out the gate, and she followed him while talking beside him.

Prime Minister Su just frowned and said nothing.

He actually didn't like this daughter very much. Since her mother left, this daughter has lived alone with a little girl in the most remote courtyard of the mansion, the Bamboo Garden. She is also reserved towards her father. It is not known whether it is because she is afraid of him or for some other reason, but the father often turns around and runs away as soon as he sees him from a distance. Originally, this daughter was engaged to the prince, and he felt that this daughter was still of some use to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As a result, he encountered bandits when he came back from the temple yesterday. His wife came back and told him crying that she saw Su Luoxue being kidnapped by bandits, and she was afraid that she was in great danger and her innocence might be hard to maintain.

Moreover, the lady had told him long ago that the prince actually did not like Su Luoxue at all, but preferred her Qingrou, and they had a mutual affection for each other.

If the Prime Minister's Mansion had a daughter to be the Crown Princess, then Su Qingrou would definitely be more suitable than Su Luoxue, and would make the Prime Minister's Mansion more glorious. The scale in Prime Minister Su's heart had long been tilted towards Su Qingrou.

In his eyes, it didn’t matter whether Su Luoxue was dead or alive. What mattered was the reputation and future of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Now that Su Luoxue has returned after a night, she is probably no longer innocent. Even if she is, she will not be able to explain it to the emperor. If the emperor blames her... and the prince, it will be difficult to explain. If this is really the case, it would be better for her to die so that she can give an explanation to the emperor and the prince.

Prime Minister Su walked to the front hall while thinking about this, and Zhang and Su Qingrou followed him. They wanted to see how Su Luoxue came back safely.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Su Luoxue also walked to the front hall. As she walked along, the maids and old women in the mansion were muttering to each other, and she could guess what they were thinking with her toes. It was a pity that she was no longer the original owner, so she didn't care. Besides, the original owner was strong-willed and would rather die than lose her innocence.

As soon as Su Luoxue stepped into the front hall, she saw a woman in her 30s running over crying and hugging her: "Luoxue, it was your mother who failed to protect you and let you be robbed by the bandits. Did they bully you? Let your mother see if you are injured anywhere."

Then, as he spoke, he wiped the non-existent tears and looked Su Luoxue up and down. He saw that although her clothes were a little dirty, they were neatly worn and there were no signs of being torn, but her hair was a little messy.

He cursed in his heart, those two losers, they spent 20 taels of his silver, but they couldn't even handle a weak little girl.

"Sister, you were kidnapped by bandits yesterday. Mother was so worried that she blamed herself and couldn't sleep all night." Su Qingrou quickly spoke up for her mother.

Haha, if you hadn’t harmed the original owner, I would have almost believed you.

"Really?" Su Luoxue looked at Zhang in front of her. This must be the original owner's vicious stepmother who said one thing in front of her and another behind her back. So she looked at Zhang coldly and said, "I'm back well now. I'm afraid that my wife and sister will not be able to sleep at night."

Prime Minister Su slapped the table with a "bang" sound, "What are you talking about? Your mother and sister are worried about you, but it's wrong?"

Su Luoxue raised her eyes and looked coldly at the man sitting at the top. Is this the father of the original owner?

"So, when I was kidnapped by bandits, did father send people to look for me? Did father stay awake all night because of anxiety?" Su Luoxue looked straight at Prime Minister Su and said coldly.

Prime Minister Su was stunned. This daughter didn't even dare to look at him straight in the eye before, but today she actually dared to refute him directly.

"You were kidnapped by bandits, which is a disgrace to your family. If I send people to look for you, wouldn't everyone in the capital know that you were kidnapped by bandits and your innocence is ruined?" said Prime Minister Su.

"Yes, Luoxue, it's not that your father doesn't want to look for you, it's that he can't. You are engaged to the prince. If the emperor gets to know about it, I'm afraid our Prime Minister's Mansion won't be able to afford it." As Zhang spoke, she pulled Su Luoxue's hand, behaving more like a loving mother.

Su Luoxue shook off Zhang's hand and walked to the chair next to her and sat down. She was too lazy to stand and talk to them. She was tired.

It had been a long time since she came back, and no one asked her if she was hungry. Fortunately, she ate a few biscuits on the way back.

Zhang saw that Su Luoxue ignored her and actually shook off her hand, leaving her standing there alone, and ran to sit down. She was secretly happy in her heart, "Great, very good, let the prime minister hate this daughter even more."

"My husband, I am also worried about the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zhang looked at Prime Minister Su aggrievedly.

"Yes, big sister, after you were kidnapped by the bandits yesterday, my mother and I were very worried. We didn't know where the bandits took you. We rushed back and told father the news." Su Qingrou quickly spoke up.

"Really? You really don't know? I thought you should know." Su Luoxue said bluntly as she watched the performance of the mother and daughter.

"Big sister, what are you talking about? How would my mother and I know?" Su Qingrou's heart skipped a beat. Could Su Luoxue know something?

Su Luoxue watched the performance of the mother and daughter, "Father, who do you believe?" He turned and looked at Prime Minister Su and said.

"Of course I believe your mother and your sister." Prime Minister Su replied without thinking.

Su Luoxue looked at the original owner's father. She wondered if he would be sad if he knew that his daughter was dead. However, seeing how he protected Zhang and Su Qingrou, Su Luoxue already had the answer in her heart.

However, as if the original owner herself was unwilling to give up and wanted an answer, Su Luoxue suddenly looked at Prime Minister Su and said: "Father, if I died yesterday, would you be sad?"

Prime Minister Su didn't know that Su Luoxue was asking this question on behalf of his real daughter. He said without hesitation: "How can I explain to the emperor and the prince if you come back with such an unclear name? You might as well die."

When Su Luoxue heard Prime Minister Su say this, she knew that the original owner must have heard it.

"That may disappoint you, father. Not only am I not dead, I'm alive and well." After Su Luoxue finished speaking, she raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of colorless and odorless medicinal powder at the three people.

After a while, Prime Minister Su, Zhang and Su Qingrou felt itchy here and there on their bodies. It was only slight at first, but it became more and more itchy soon. The three of them quickly called their personal servants, nannies and maids to tickle them.

Su Luoxue looked at the group of people who were in a mess and did not stop. She said, "Today I will only give you a little punishment. She will remember this account with the original owner."

Then she strode towards the bamboo garden according to the original owner's memory.
