"Mammy, where are the maids and maids who served my mother closely when she was alive?" Murong Zixi suddenly stopped and asked in a low and serious voice.

Madam Li pondered for a moment and said slowly, "After the lady passed away, the four maids have been taking care of you. But since the eldest daughter fell into the water when she was six years old, she had a fever and burned her brain. They blamed themselves and the old lady of the Loyalty Marquis Mansion was very angry. She sent them to the farm in the countryside because they did not take good care of them.

I was also going to go to the farm in the countryside, but at that time the eldest lady would not cry unless I held her, so the old lady kept me here.

The more Nanny Li spoke, the redder her eyes became. “It’s all because I didn’t take good care of the young lady that she suffered.”

"Mammy, it's all over. Don't blame yourself. They wanted to harm me, so they naturally put in a lot of effort."

Matron Li was stunned for a moment, then she became more and more angry as she spoke, "Miss, what you meant was that your falling into the water was not an accident. Yes, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?"

Murong Zixi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze was as deep as the abyss, and she said softly: "Mammy, it's all over. Those people have received the punishment they deserved. Everything is over."

Nanny Li immediately realized who the eldest lady was talking about. She couldn't help but let out a "Puh" and said angrily, "They really deserve it!"

Murong Zixi stood up, straightened her body, and said in a firm tone: "Let's go to the general's mansion. I want to see what Murong Yunhai can say."

Xiaolu immediately responded, "Then I will ask Xiaomuzi to prepare the carriage." After that, she ran out as quickly as the wind. Her figure was light and agile, like a cheerful little bird, full of energy and vitality.

Nanny Li looked at Xiaolu's hurriedly leaving back, couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and said to Murong Zixi: "Miss, you really dote on this girl too much. Look at her now, she is becoming more and more unruly."

Murong Zixi smiled slightly, a gentle light flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Xiaolu is very good, I hope she can always maintain this innocent and lively nature."

Nanny Li smiled and shook her head, but her face was filled with a relieved smile. Their eldest daughter really had a kind heart and always treated people around her with tolerance and inclusiveness.

Murong Zixi walked out of the mansion and got on the carriage.

Xiaolu and Xiaocui followed her into the car, chattering about various topics along the way.

Murong Zixi fell into deep contemplation, her thoughts constantly lingering on one question - life experience? Could it be that the original owner had another unknown life experience?

The general's mansion was shrouded in an unprecedented haze. Although the sun was shining brightly, it seemed unable to penetrate the heavy sadness. Only mottled light and shadows were left on the ground, which was out of tune with the desolate scene in the mansion.

The old lady sat in the middle of the hall, tears falling like beads from a broken string. Her voice was hoarse and desperate. "Yunhai, this general's mansion is the glory your father Mu earned with his blood and sweat on the battlefield. It was personally bestowed by the late emperor. How can it be taken away so easily now? What did we do wrong? How did we offend the emperor?"

Aunt Hong was standing by, covering her face with a handkerchief, tears streaming down her face. Her words were filled with confusion and indignation: "Master, why is this happening? Why did the Emperor want to take back the General's Mansion? How can we survive if we leave the General's Mansion?"

Murong Jiaoning also completely disregarded her image at this moment, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, tightly grasping the old lady's sleeve, as if that was her only support: "Grandma, I don't want to leave here, I don't want to leave the general's mansion, I don't want to become a commoner..."

Murong Yunhai's eyes were bloodshot. He suppressed his anger and unwillingness and suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"

This sound, like a thunderclap, made the hall quiet instantly, leaving only low sobs.

At this moment, the housekeeper hurried in and broke the oppression: "Master, the eldest lady is back."

Murong Yunhai heard this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, then he nodded and ordered: "Help me back to the study and let her come to the study to see me."

In the study, Murong Yunhai sat there, his back looking particularly lonely.

Murong Zixi slowly came to the door of the study, nodded to Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu, and asked them to wait outside.

She walked in, closed the door, and looked at Murong Yunhai who was sitting there, "What do you mean by my life experience?" Murong Zixi's voice was not loud, but like the dripping of an icy spring, crisp and direct, instantly shattering the tranquility around her.

Hearing this, Murong Yunhai looked up at her. His eyes were filled with reluctance and anger. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. There was too much bitterness and calculation hidden in that smile. "Want to know? Sure, but you have to ask the emperor to withdraw the decree."

Murong Zixi frowned slightly when she heard this, and a trace of doubt and disdain flashed in her eyes: "What decree? And why do you think I can influence the emperor's decision? Isn't this just a fantasy?"

Seeing this, Murong Yunhai became a little emotional, his voice trembling slightly: "You can't, but the War King can! He looks at you differently. Go and ask him, the War King will definitely be able to do it."

Hearing this, Murong Zixi smiled faintly, with a hint of sarcasm hidden in her smile: "Murong Yunhai, you are really good at calculating, but, by the way, what exactly did the emperor order?"

Murong Yunhai's face turned pale when he heard this. He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "The emperor ordered to remove my position as a fourth-rank general and take back the general's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Murong Zixi not only did not show any sympathy, but instead burst into laughter. There was a sense of relief in her laughter, "Your Majesty is truly wise!"

Murong Yunhai was angered by her words and shouted, "Murong Zixi! Don't you want to know the mystery of your life? Don't you want to know who your biological father is?"

Murong Zixi stopped smiling and looked at him coldly, "What mystery is there about my origin? If I were not the daughter of you, Murong Yunhai, I would be more than happy to marry you. I have lived in your house since I was a child and have never felt any fatherly love. Now that you tell me that I am not your biological child, I feel relieved."

Murong Yunhai's eyes widened, like an enraged lion, and he roared, "Indeed, you are not my biological daughter! But don't you want to know who your real father is?"

Murong Zixi sneered, with a bit of determination in her tone: "I want to, but I can't do what you said! The War King and I are just acquaintances, how can I influence his decision? What's more, if you don't tell me the mystery of my life experience, I will find out by myself."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Murong Yunhai yelled, "Murong Zixi, stop!"
