The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere

But the eldest princess is different. She is not only an elder, but also a real member of the royal family. If she really attacks me, who would dare to stop her?

Anyone who can sit here is not the original wife. People like her have always looked down on the second wife.

And those second wives look down on the concubines who were made the first wives, and the concubines who were made the first wives look down on the concubines who were made the first wives.

It can be said that this is a complete chain of contempt, otherwise, Shen Qianjiao would not have worked so hard for so long and still couldn't even enter the circle of noble ladies.

Lu stammered and lowered her head, and the Princess Dowager then spoke to Xiao Tao.

"Go on."

Xiao Tao kowtowed to the Grand Princess again before continuing.

"When my family left the palace, we met the master and his wife's carriage at the palace gate. The lady asked my daughter to get in the carriage, but my daughter couldn't get used to the fragrance of the lady's carriage, so she refused."

Xiao Tao said this and secretly glanced at everyone's faces.

Then, some of the ladies who were familiar with Yue Ningyin nodded. This was indeed Yue Ningyin's character. She didn't like Lu, so it was normal for her not to give her face at this time.

"The master was angry that the young lady offended the lady, causing her to cry, so he asked the driver to drive the carriage away. My young lady didn't have a carriage, so she could only beg Princess Yunxi to take her back home."

Before she finished speaking, there was a whisper, "What is Madam Yue thinking? Why doesn't she prepare a separate car for the girl when she goes out?"

Some of their families were not as well-off as Yue's, and even their concubines had their own carriages.

Occasionally, a daughter would ride with her parents just to show their love.

Isn’t the Yue family so destitute?

Yesterday was New Year’s Eve. Didn’t the Yue family know that Yue Ningyin would return to their home after the palace banquet?

Or maybe they did it on purpose to intimidate her.

Thinking about it again, it seems to make sense why Lu was so eager to ruin Yue Ningyin's reputation.

Did she originally intend to not give her a carriage and let her walk back by herself? If something happened on the way, wouldn't that be a natural thing?

The eldest princess Xiaotao stopped talking and said impatiently.

"Go on."

But when she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. The little girl seemed to have thought of something terrible. She hugged herself tightly with both arms and her whole body was shaking.

Fortunately, the Grand Princess's slightly majestic words seemed to wake her up from her memories.

Xiao Tao looked at the Grand Princess with slightly grateful eyes, then immediately lowered her head.

But the Grand Princess still saw the look in her eyes just now and was very pleased with it.

Her tone softened as she spoke, "Don't be afraid, little girl. We are here to help you today. No matter what happened last night, as long as you tell us, I promise that no one will dare to embarrass you."

Xiao Tao was even more grateful after hearing this and kowtowed to the Grand Princess again before speaking.

“Princess Yunxi is a good person. She saw the difficulties my young lady was in and invited us to get on the carriage.

But before the carriage arrived at the Yue Mansion, the palace sent a message asking my young lady and Princess Yunxi to enter the palace to accompany the Empress.

My young lady had prepared a surprise for the Empress and had intended to present it to her today. She had wanted to go back home to get the gift and then return to the palace.

But she was afraid that the queen would get anxious waiting, so she asked the servant to go back to the house to get the things, while she and the princess went into the palace first.

The princess was worried that it would be unsafe for me to travel alone, so she asked Sister Qingyun to go with me."

Xiaotao said this and turned back to look at Qingyun.

Compared to Xiaotao who was kneeling on the ground, Qingyun was much more at ease. She stood straight and if no one pointed it out, others would have thought she was a young lady from some wealthy family. No one would have thought she was just a maid.

Qingyun also nodded after meeting Xiaotao's eyes.

"Indeed, I know Kung Fu, and my master asked me to escort her."

After hearing this, the ladies understood and stopped thinking, "It's not necessarily safe for two little girls, especially pretty ones, to be together at night."

After Qingyun confirmed her words, Xiaotao continued.

"When we entered the mansion, there was no one at the gatehouse, and the young lady's courtyard was also pitch black, and the maids and servants in the courtyard were nowhere to be seen.

Originally, we servants just thought it was New Year's Eve yesterday and our masters were kind enough to let us go and have fun as well.

Just as I entered the room and was about to light the lamp myself, a man suddenly jumped out, covered my mouth and nose, and dragged me into the inner room.

She was still saying some dirty words, and I was terribly scared. I imagined that Sister Qingyun was waiting outside the yard for help.

But the man was very strong, and in my panic, I didn't know what I touched, but I hit him with it.

I didn't know where the blow hit, I just heard a muffled groan from that person, and then the sound of someone falling to the ground.

I was very scared, so I tried to open the door in the dark, but when I got to the door, I found that it was locked from the outside.

The windows were nailed shut. I was so scared that I smashed the door with a chair. Sister Qingyun heard the noise outside and rescued me.

When something as serious as this happened, the first thing I thought of was to report it to Madam, but...but..."

Xiao Tao said this and secretly looked at Mrs. Yue again. After being glared at by her, she quickly looked away.

The eldest princess also glared at Lu, then whispered to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, just keep talking."

“However, before I could go find Madam, a group of people with knives appeared in the courtyard and said that the young lady could not leave the courtyard today.

I was so scared, it was Sister Qingyun who protected me and helped me escape."

After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she kowtowed deeply again, and the way everyone present looked at Lu changed.

They all lived in large mansions, and every family had its share of intrigues, but it was rare to find someone as cunning as her.

After all, they still understand the principle that everyone prospers and suffers together.

"You are talking nonsense. Which eye of yours saw that those people were sent by my wife?"

After hearing Xiaotao's accusation, Lu became furious and wanted to defend herself.

But it would have been fine if she didn't say anything, and everyone would have known it in their hearts. But when she shouted it out like this, everyone looked at her with even more strange eyes.

"I, my servant, never said those people were sent by Madam."

The more Xiaotao spoke, the lower her head buried.

When the eldest princess saw that she had actually frightened a little girl, her brows furrowed even more.

The words he said were also very impolite.

"Is Madam Yue planning to confess?"

Only then did Lu realize that she had panicked and said the wrong thing.

She immediately made amends, "That's not what I meant. It's just that this girl was being vague, and Ning Yin has never liked me as her stepmother, so I was afraid she would misunderstand."

As she spoke, she put on her weak and pitiful look again.
