Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine

Chapter 32: The farce at Ziwei Pavilion comes to an end

"Safety? Then return the one that was kept before first."

Murong Yunhai's face was very ugly. He couldn't let this evil girl continue to make trouble, otherwise he would lose all his face. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Come on, move all the dowry left by Xier's mother in the warehouse back to Ziwei Pavilion."

"Father, do you still want to trick me like before?"

Murong Yunhai snorted coldly and looked at Xiao Qing, "Take inventory when you go back, and return all the dowry that belongs to Xier in three days."

"master……"

Murong Yuhai glared at him and Xiao Qing immediately shut up.

Murong Jiaoning was also very unwilling. She had quite a few courtyards, and each one was carefully decorated by herself. Every blade of grass, every table and chair in it were all selected by her personally. Not to mention that there were many precious things in her courtyard, all of which were moved from Ziwei Pavilion.

She was reluctant to return it. The bracelet on her hand was also something she had forced upon her in the past. She liked it very much. However, her aunt did not have the money to buy her such expensive jewelry, so she did not want to return it.

Nanny Li whispered a few words in Murong Zixi's ear.

Murong Zixi looked at Murong Jiaoning and said with a half-smile, "Third sister, if I remember correctly, you came to my Ziwei Pavilion a year ago and saw the jewelry in front of my dressing table. You snatched it away and said you would return it in a few days. It's been a year. Why is it still on your wrist?"

Murong Jiaoning's face changed and she quickly pulled up her sleeve to cover the bracelet.

Murong Zixi asked again: "Third sister, do you not want to return it? Or do you want to deny it?"

Murong Jiaoning's face looked very ugly. She stammered and wanted to argue, but she didn't know how to start.

"Sister, I just feel that this bracelet is destined to be with me, so I keep wearing it. There is no other meaning." Murong Jiaoning said with a look of grievance.

"In that case, give it back to me!" Murong Zixi stretched out her hand, motioning Murong Jiaoning to return the bracelet to her.

Murong Jiaoning was anxious and quickly hid the bracelet behind her. "Sister, I have worn this bracelet for so long that it has grown into my skin. It will be very painful to take it off. You don't need this bracelet, so just give it to me."

Murong Zixi sneered, "Third sister, what are you talking about? These are my mother's things, so of course I have to return them."

Murong Jiaoning stammered, "This... this was a gift you gave it to me."

Nanny Li said, "I was right there at the time. It was clearly the Second Young Miss who snatched it away. She even said she would return it in a few days and threatened the Eldest Young Miss not to tell anyone, otherwise she would be in trouble."

Hearing this, Lu Zhensi frowned, "How can this be absurd? A mere concubine's daughter treats the eldest legitimate daughter like this. General Murong, it seems that the general's mansion really doesn't distinguish between legitimate and concubine daughters."

You must know that the Dongyang Kingdom has a clear distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, especially in the aristocratic families. Although the current emperor does not care too much about this, it is a big problem for those censors. If the censors knew about this, they would definitely report Murong Yunhai to the emperor in the court.

The General's Mansion is not what it used to be. It has been in decline since the old man passed away. Over the years, Murong Yunhai has been suppressed by the old man of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion in the court. The Loyalty Marquis' Mansion has always blamed him for Yun Feifei's death. If it weren't for the young Murong Zixi, they would have suppressed him even more harshly.

Clearly, that bitch Yun Feifei died of heavy bleeding during childbirth, but the people in the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion believed that there was something else wrong with Yun Feifei's death. However, no matter how they investigated, they found nothing, and they still harbored resentment towards him because of Yun Feifei's death.

Although the old man of the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion has been suppressing Murong Yunhai, Murong Yunhai has not become depressed because of this.

Instead, he has been trying to find opportunities to prove his worth.

Although Murong Yunhai has not been able to achieve great military achievements, he has not given up. He believes that as long as he keeps working hard, he will be able to regain the emperor's favor one day.

At the same time, Murong Yunhai was also very clear that the emperor did not take back the general's mansion, entirely for the sake of the old general's face. If Murong Yunhai could not make some achievements, then the general's mansion would be taken back sooner or later.

The old lady's face changed and she was about to speak when Murong Yunhai looked over with his deep eyes.

The old lady opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.

Murong Yunhai suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "It is my fault that I have been negligent and have not taught my daughter well. Ning'er, why don't you take off the bracelet and return it to your elder sister."

"Father……"

Murong Yunhai glared at her and Murong Jiaoning could only take off the bracelet reluctantly. Her eyes turned red and she said with pain: "I'll give it back to you."

Xiao Cui stepped forward to take it and happily said, "Miss, here you go."

Murong Zixi took it and played with it in her hand. The bracelet was beautiful, but it was a pity that Murong Jiaoning had already worn it. She didn't like things that had been worn by others.

Murong Jiaoning's tears flowed down her face. She covered her mouth, sobbed, and ran out.

Aunt Hong felt distressed immediately, and "Ning'er" followed after him.

Murong Zixi smiled, "Okay, since father said three days later, it will be three days. I believe father will not lie to me in front of Lord Lu."

Murong Yunhai snorted coldly, turned around and said to Lu Zhensi: "Sir Lu, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. I'll treat you to a drink at Piaoxuan Restaurant some other day."

Lu Zhensi shook his head and said indifferently: "That's not necessary. I am busy and don't have time. Since you have already discussed it, I will go back first." After that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Murong Yunhai's expression instantly became very awkward, and he quickly said, "Master Lu, take care. I'll take you a ride."

However, Lu Zhensi refused without hesitation and said, "No need, General Murong, please stay, let's go." As soon as he finished speaking, he left with a group of yamen runners without looking back.

Looking at Lu Zhensi's receding back, Murong Yunhai's face became extremely ugly.

The General's Mansion is no longer the same as it was when Yun Feifei got married. At that time, many officials in the court tried to curry favor with the young me. But everything has changed since Yun Feifei left.

In addition, the emperor did not send him to the battlefield in this border war in Lingnan, which made many people sneer at the General's Mansion.

Ever since Yun Feifei passed away, the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion has been constantly suppressing him in the court, causing the situation of the General's Mansion to become increasingly difficult.

He was filled with resentment towards his daughter, but a complete fall-out with her now might bring more trouble.

After all, the border town of Lingnan had won a great victory, and the King of War had returned to Beijing ahead of schedule.

The several masters, old and young, of the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion will probably be back soon. If the relationship with this evil girl becomes too rigid at this time, it will be more trouble than gain.

Thinking of this, Murong Yunhai decided to put aside his hatred for the time being and wait for the right time to make plans.

His expression eased a little, and he gently pulled the muscles on both sides of his cheeks, trying to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Xi'er, since you don't like us to keep it for you, then Dad will have someone send your mother's dowry to Ziwei Pavilion. As for the things that were taken away before, Dad promises that they will be returned in full in three days!"

Murong Zixi's smile grew brighter, and she nodded slightly, "Thank you very much, father. I will wait for good news!"
