The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

After using a bottle of scar removing cream, Lu Jinglang felt that the scars on his body had faded visibly, especially since they were bought by Lu Jingning.

So I don’t feel bad about using it. Every time I use it, I will ask the maid to apply a thick layer of it.

"Humph, this is what Lu Jingning owes me."

Lu Jinglang snorted coldly, threw the empty bottle to the ground, and ordered the maid: "Go tell Lu Jingning to buy two more bottles."

"Miss..." The maid was a little embarrassed. Lu Jinglang glared at her fiercely, so she had no choice but to go there.

Before she even stepped out of the door, the next second the maid next to the old lady came to report: "Miss, Princess Shen is here. Please go to the hall immediately."

Hearing the words "Princess Shen", Lu Jinglang frowned instinctively: "Why is she here out of the blue?"

"Replying to the young lady, Princess Shen is here to take you back to the palace."

Lu Jinglang didn't believe that Helian would come to pick her up, so she quickly asked, "How does mother look like? Has anything happened recently?"

At this point, the nanny hesitated.

Lu Jinglang's eyelids twitched.

"Princess Shen's complexion is indeed very bad."

When Princess Shen entered the room, her face was stern and her eyes were fierce and murderous. She only gave a forced smile to the old lady.

When Lu Jinglang heard this, his heart trembled unconsciously, and he quickly sent someone to inform Concubine Wan, and soon Concubine Wan arrived.

"This is the Shangguan Mansion. Some things cannot be avoided. Let's go and take a look." Concubine Wan comforted.

Helplessly, Lu Jinglang had to put on his clothes and follow Concubine Wan to the front hall. As expected, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Helian's gloomy face.

Helian heard the noise and looked towards her, her eyes revealing undisguised displeasure.

"The princess of the county."

"Mother."

The two of them greeted each other.

Helian was displeased: "Concubine Wan, this is why you don't know the rules. You took Sister Lang back to her parents' home without even saying hello, and I didn't care. But why did you owe Liulizhai 10,000 taels of silver on credit, bringing shame to the Shenjunwang Mansion?"

"On credit?" Concubine Wan was confused.

Until the maid told the two of them the whole story.

The scar-removing ointment used on Concubine Wan and Lu Jinglang was obtained from Liulizhai, and it was obtained in the name of Prince Shen's Mansion.

He also mortgaged the badge of Prince Shen's mansion there, and agreed to settle the bill in five days. However, the people of Liulizhai could not wait for Prince Shen to pay, so they sent someone to Prince Shen's mansion to collect the debt, and they happened to meet Helian leaving the mansion.

The moment she received the bill, Helian flew into a rage and rushed to the Shangguan Mansion at full speed to demand accountability.

"This bitch!" Concubine Wan gritted her teeth in anger.

"Mother."

Lu Jinglang knelt on the ground and said pitifully, "Mother misunderstood. Lu Jingning sent someone to get the plaster. She made the decision on her own. It has nothing to do with my mother."

Helian frowned and turned her head to glance at the old lady.

"Send someone to invite Aning." The old lady didn't say anything more and immediately sent someone to invite Lu Jingning.

After waiting for a while, Lu Jingning finally arrived.

"Sister Ning, why did you do this? It was clearly you who took the initiative to go to Liulizhai to get the medicine. Why did you embarrass Prince Shen's Mansion?" Lu Jinglang started to attack.

As a result, everyone's eyes fell on Lu Jingning.

Lu Jingning calmly asked back, "Sister Lang, you hurt my heart when you said that. It was you who begged me to get the scar removal medicine, crying and kowtowing, and even said that the mistress was cruel and forced you to die. I only helped you because I felt sorry for you."

Lu Jinglang widened his eyes in disbelief: "You are talking nonsense!"

"Grandmother." Lu Jingning looked aggrieved and assured solemnly: "Sister Lang took great care of her body. She showed her wounds when she returned home that day. She said that Princess Shen was cruel and intolerant. After all, Sister Lang and I have been together for several years. How could I stand by and watch her die? It's just that I was in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me, so I borrowed money in the name of the Shenjun Palace."

As she spoke, she took out some scattered silver bills from her bosom, folded them together to make exactly ten thousand taels, and placed them on the table.

"I sent someone to the farm to get the banknotes, but they got delayed on the way. The people at Liulizhai were too ruthless and reported the matter to the Prince Shen's Mansion."

The words were flawless, even the reason for the delay was stated.

Lu Jinglang was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that she was just using a few bottles of scar removal medicine, but was actually taken advantage of by Lu Jingning.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" she yelled.

Lu Jingning turned around and said angrily: "Sister Lang, how could I know that you sent people to ask for plaster again and again? One bottle is enough for your injury, but you actually used five bottles. I don't have enough money, so I have to prepare it.

Do I have to sell your jewelry to raise money?"

"Selling jewelry?" Helian snorted coldly, looked at Lu Jinglang meaningfully, and slowly stood up: "I didn't know that the second young lady of the Prince Shen's Mansion had fallen to this point."

"Mother, this is all misunderstanding. Don't listen to Lu Jingning's nonsense." Lu Jinglang panicked. She had an instinctive fear of her biological mother, Helian. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she hid behind Concubine Wan.

Seeing this, Lu Jingning comforted her, "Sister Lang, I see that the Princess of the County is also very concerned about you. Why are you hiding behind Concubine Wan, acting as if the Princess of the County is treating you harshly, which has led to misunderstandings."

Hearing this, Helian looked at Lu Jinglang with even more fierce eyes.

Frightened, Lu Jinglang quickly said, "No, no, my mother treats me very well."

But no one present believed this.

Helian wanted to eat the mother and daughter alive. How dare they ruin her reputation in public? They deserved to die!

"Princess of the County." Concubine Wan suddenly kowtowed to Helian: "There must be a misunderstanding. Family disgrace should not be made public. I have a few words to say to you alone."

Concubine Wan winked at Helian.

If this happened in the Prince Shen's Mansion, Helian would have already taken action, but in the Shangguan family, she still had to give some face, so she put away her anger, turned to look at Lu Jingning, and smiled gently: "How can I ask you to pay for this scar removal cream? I will thank you on behalf of Sister Lang for the time being."

After Helian finished speaking, she winked at the maid, who immediately came forward with a brocade box. When she opened it, she saw a set of valuable red gold Ruyi hairpins inside.

"This is a thank you gift for you." Helian handed the hairpin to Lu Jingning.

The two were only one step apart, but Lu Jingning could clearly see the disgust and coldness in Helian's eyes. She sneered. Helian must be very angry about today's actions, but she had to maintain her outward demeanor.

"Thank you, Princess." Lu Jingning took the golden hairpin generously and inserted it into Lu Jinglang's hair: "Sister Lang usually dresses too plainly, this golden hairpin is just right for you."

Lu Jinglang raised his head and looked at Lu Jingning with murderous eyes.

The smile on Helian's face could hardly be suppressed. Her fingertips turned white from clenching their fists under her sleeves, and she took the two of them out.

"Aning." Old Madam Shangguan glanced at Lu Jingning and always felt that this granddaughter was different from before. She said worriedly, "Will you offend the Prince Shen's Mansion by doing this today? What if the Prince Shen and the Crown Prince become enemies in the future?"

The reason why Shangguan's character is gentle, kind, and thoughtful is definitely due to the earnest guidance of old lady Shangguan.

Lu Jingning turned around and glanced at the old lady: "Grandmother, do you think that Donggong will get a good result by just being tolerant?"

The old lady was choked up, and after thinking for a long time, she was still looking for an excuse: "Maybe the matter is not that serious. After all, Prince Shen has not shown up yet."

Hearing this, Lu Jingning felt helpless. Her mother's health was ruined by a quack doctor and she was almost framed for a false pregnancy. She was also secretly taken away by Concubine Tong and was almost tortured into confessing.

No matter which one it is, Prince Shen cannot be avoided.

Lu Jingning came up to the old lady and spoke a few words in a low voice, shocking the old lady so much that she was almost speechless.

"Aning..."

"The human heart is unpredictable. Grandmother, whether you dare to take a gamble or not, something bad will surely happen within a few days." Lu Jingning vowed.

The old lady still hadn't come back to her senses. She stared at Lu Jingning blankly for a long time before she said, "No, no, Sister Lang won't do that."
