"Miss, Miss Four has gone too far. She actually dug up the plum tree." Xiao Qiu said indignantly.

Leng Yanan's pupils sank slightly, "Xiaoxue, let's go to Jingyuan, Xiaoqiu, you stay in Meiyuan and clean up the house."

"Yes, miss." Xiao Qiu said lightly.

Leng Yanan brought Anxue to the gate of Jingyuan, and Anxue went forward and knocked on the door.

Seeing Caixia open the door, Leng Yanan and Anxue entered Jingyuan. As soon as they entered, they saw their plum tree.

"Why are you barging in? My lady didn't let you in." Caixia said angrily.

"Let your master come out." Leng Yan'an looked at Caixia and said coldly.

Leng Ruozhen walked out of the house in small steps, "Who did I think it was? It turns out to be my eldest sister."

"Fourth sister is really powerful now. She even wants to take away the plum tree in my plum garden."

Leng Ruozhen chuckled, "Big sister, it's just a plum tree. You came to my house specially for this. Why don't you just plant another one?"

"You are so shameless that you think you are right to steal other people's things." An Xue said with contempt.

"The master is talking, and you, a maid, have no right to interrupt. Caixia, slap me in the face." Leng Ruozhen glared.

Leng Yanan said coldly, "Xiaoxue is from my courtyard, I'll see who dares to hit her."

"Big sister, I am helping you teach your slave a lesson. Caixia, hit me hard."

Leng Ruozhen said arrogantly that she was not only Gu Ye’s favorite daughter, but also loved by the emperor, who would let her stay in the palace from time to time.

Things are different now. She used to be so cold and humble that she was reduced to dust. Now she can finally stand up and become the master.

"Yes." Caixia walked forward with a smug look on her face and raised her hand to hit Anxue.

An Xue grabbed Caixia's hand without fear and slapped her twice on the left and right sides with her backhand.

Leng Yan'an knew that An Xue was a skilled martial artist and would definitely not suffer any loss, but Leng Ruozhen was really going too far.

He actually dared to teach An Xue a lesson in front of her. Because An Xue was Yan Sheng's person, Leng Yan'an had never taught An Xue a lesson before.

"You, you, you dare to hit me." Caixia looked incredulous.

"That's enough, Fourth Sister. You and I have always kept to ourselves. But you first dug up the plum tree and then tried to beat up my people. What does that mean?"

Leng Yan'an's eyes turned cold in an instant, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Big sister, if you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself because you are the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. You were born a legitimate daughter, while I am just a concubine's daughter born to a maid."

Leng Ruozhen admitted that Leng Yanan had never beaten or scolded her since she was a child, and even brought her food, but she did not need anyone's sympathy.

Looking at the other young ladies in the prime minister's mansion who were so high and mighty, Leng Ruozhen dreamed of stepping on them.

"Is this why you hate me? How funny! You have one day to plant the plum tree back to the Plum Courtyard intact, or I will be rude to you."

Leng Yan'an didn't want to waste time talking to Leng Ruozhen either. It would be better if Leng Ruozhen didn't challenge her bottom line.

In her previous life, Leng Yan'an had seen Leng Ruozhen's true face. She was not worthy of sympathy at all.

"Since you like this broken tree so much, I will return it to you."

Leng Ruozhen walked to the plum tree and poured a bottle of potion on the trunk. The plum tree began to wither in less than a few seconds.

Leng Yan'an was filled with anger as he watched the plum tree he had planted wither and die.

"Pa——" Leng Yan'an slapped Leng Ruozhen hard.

Leng Ruozhen was stunned, "Leng Yan'an, I am my father's favorite daughter now, how dare you hit me?"

"So what? Just because you were favored for a few days, you became complacent and lost track of your own status."

Leng Yanan pushed Leng Ruozhen away and said coldly.

Leng Ruozhen was furious and took out a silver needle to stab Leng Yanan, "Bitch, go to hell."

An Xue quickly grabbed Leng Ruozhen's hand and snatched the silver needle from her.

"You stupid girl, I have tolerated you for a long time. Not only did you destroy such a beautiful tree, but you also launched a sneak attack."

An Xue angrily kicked Leng Ruozhen and pressed her face to the ground.

"Bitch, let me go." At this moment, Leng Ruozhen felt as if he had returned to the days when he was beaten and scolded by Leng Ruoyan.

"Leng Ruozhen, how dare you kill someone? This silver needle looks familiar. Could it be that you killed Leng Ruoyan?"

Leng Yan'an held Leng Ruozhen's silver needle and said lightly.

"You're talking nonsense. What does Leng Ruoyan's death have to do with me?" Leng Ruozhen said, gritting his teeth.

Leng Yan'an said calmly, "Really? Then try this silver needle."

"Caixia, are you dead? Go and call daddy over, Leng Yanan is going to kill someone." Leng Ruozhen shouted to Caixia.

Caixia was stunned and was about to run out of Jingyuan to call for help. Anxue picked up a stone and threw it at Caixia.

Caixia was hit in the calf and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Leng Yanan closed the door of Jingyuan.

Leng Yan'an felt that he had to teach Leng Ruozhen a lesson, so he walked towards Leng Ruozhen holding the silver needle.

"No, big sister, I know I was wrong, I will never provoke you again, please don't kill me."

Leng Ruozhen said in horror as he looked at the silver needle getting closer and closer to him.

Leng Yanan sneered, "Weren't you quite tough just now? You even destroyed my plum tree, and now you're scared?"

"I'll compensate you, big sister. I won't dare to do it again." Leng Ruozhen said fearfully.

"What was that thing that just fell under the plum tree? Where did it come from?" Leng Yan'an asked curiously.

Leng Ruozhen dodged a glance and said, "I bought it myself."

"Bought it? Then tell me where you bought it?"

This kind of poison is simply not available on the market. Leng Yanan already has the answer in his mind. Apart from Fang Siwen, who else would study this kind of poison?

"I, I bought it at the pharmacy." Leng Ruozhen said in a low voice.

Leng Yanan looked at the withered plum tree and said, "I have carefully cultivated this plum tree for several years. What are you going to give me as compensation?"

"Big sister, I have gold, silver and jewelry bestowed by the emperor. I will give them all to you." Leng Ruozhen said quickly.

"I don't want it." Leng Yan'an said lightly.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside Jingyuan, and Leng Ruozhen's expression immediately changed.

"Help! Big sister is going to kill someone."

When Gu Ye heard some noise inside, he pushed open the door of Jingyuan.

An Xue had no choice but to let Leng Ruozhen go, and Leng Yan'an quickly put away the silver needle.

"What's going on?" Gu Ye walked in and said.

Leng Ruozhen complained to Gu Ye aggrievedly, "Daddy, big sister, she wants to kill Zhen'er."

"Fourth sister, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. It was you who dug up my plum tree for no reason."

Leng Yan'an looked at Leng Ruozhen who pretended to be pitiful and wanted to give her a needle.

"Big sister, it was indeed my fault for digging up your tree, but I promised to return the tree to you. Why did you destroy it?"
