My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

After Wan Zilang was stunned, he was immediately filled with anger.

A little criminal palace maid actually dared to beat up the younger brother of the imperial concubine of the time. This feud was completely formed and could not be reconciled.

He pointed at Qiu Ning and threatened angrily:

"Okay, I'll remember you, we'll see..."

After saying that, he ran out of the yard as if he was afraid that Qiu Ning would use some tricks again.

Qiu Ning couldn't help but curse inwardly: What a coward.

Outside, Ye Haoyang and Su Jingan were shocked to see Wan Zilang escaping in a mess.

"Brother Zilang, what happened to you? How did you get injured?" Ye Haoyang hurriedly stepped forward, helped Wan Zilang up, and asked.

Wan Zilang's eyes were a little evasive, and he said quickly: "No... nothing, the battle was a little intense just now and I was just careless. Let's go quickly."

Wan Zilang said this and was about to pull the two of them away.

But Ye Haoyang suddenly stopped and said, "Don't be impatient, Brother Zilang. We two brothers haven't had enough fun yet. Why don't you and Jing'an wait here for a while, I'll be right back."

As Ye Haoyang was about to go into the yard, he was suddenly pulled back by Wan Zilang with great force.

"hiss!"

While moving, he accidentally pulled the wound on his chest, causing Wan Zilang to grimace in pain.

Seeing this, Ye Haoyang immediately imagined a colorful drama in his mind, his eyes sparkling: "Tsk! I didn't expect this girl to be so fierce today. Even Brother Zilang couldn't handle it."

"Shut up! It's not what you think."

Wan Zilang had just escaped from Qiu Ning's clutches and was eager to leave immediately so he could formulate a perfect revenge plan. How could he let Ye Haoyang go in and seek abuse now?

But at this moment he did not explain so much, instead he covered the wound on his chest and urged the two of them: "Hurry up and go, I will explain to you later."

Ye Haoyang wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Su Jingan who had been watching from the sidelines. He said, "Since Brother Zilang has said so, Haoyang, let's do it another day."

Su Jing'an had the lowest family background among the three, so he wasn't as arrogant as Wan Zilang and Ye Haoyang. Most of the time, he just played a background role, a transparent person.

The three of them quickly found a safe place to stop. Wan Zilang's servant happened to come over and was shocked when he saw the injuries on his face.

"Sir, who is so bold as to injure you? Do you want me to gather the guards and avenge you?"

Wan Zilang thought about it and rejected the servant's suggestion:

"Forget it. I've already found out that woman's identity. Revenge is only a matter of time. The most important thing right now is to choose a gift for my sister. At the family banquet tomorrow, I will definitely ask my sister, the imperial concubine, to give this woman to me as a concubine. Then, once she enters my mansion, I will have the final say in everything."

Wan Zilang had even started to think about Qiu Ning's expression of shock but reluctance when she learned that she was going to marry him as a concubine.

It's really satisfying.

A determined smile appeared on his face.

Ye Haoyang and Su Jingan also heard about what happened. Putting aside other things, they admired Qiu Ning's courage alone.

Therefore, when they heard that Wan Zilang wanted Qiu Ning to be his concubine, they both felt sorry for Qiu Ning and felt that it was not worth it.

It’s a pity that such a stunning beauty has to waste her time in Wan Zilang’s backyard.

……

The next day was Imperial Concubine Wan Rongyue's birthday, and the Emperor granted her permission to return home to reunite with her family. It only took a meal. Concubines in the harem were not allowed to stay overnight at their parents' home.

This was the first time Wan Rongyue had returned to her parents' home since entering the palace. Her father, Wan Changfu, initially held a low position, but after Wan Rongyue's arrival and favor, he was promoted to the rank of Fourth-Rank Minister of Rites.

But Wan Changfu wasn't satisfied with his current position. He felt that his daughter was the most favored concubine in the entire harem, second only to the Empress. But the Empress had Prime Minister Guo and General Guo as her backers, so he should at least have a third-rank official rank. And as his younger brother, Wan Zilang should at least have a decent job.

But before this, Wan Rongyue thought that the emperor truly loved her and did not want him to think that she was a relative of the emperor interfering in politics and affecting the previous dynasty, so she had never helped Wan Changfu to lobby.

Wan Changfu has always been resentful towards his daughter because of this incident. He believes that Wan Rongyue no longer cares about the life and death of her family after she got married, and is unwilling to even help her own brother find a job.

As a result, Wan Rongyue was later demoted to the cold palace, and her family never even visited her. Although her mother, Concubine Rou, loved her daughter, she was just a woman in the harem and could do nothing about it.

This time, Wan Rongyue was restored to his position, and His Majesty made an exception and allowed him to go home to visit his family. The family began to get busy again.

Look, the entire Minister's Mansion was not only decorated with new decorations and red lanterns hung everywhere, but even the servants who were working had festive red ribbons tied around their waists.

Soft red carpets were laid out for dozens of miles from the entrance of the Minister's Mansion. It was not even noon yet, and the entire family was standing at the gate, eagerly awaiting the imperial concubine's procession.

"Look, the imperial concubine's carriage is here!"

Many people gathered outside the gate of the Minister's Mansion to watch the fun. Someone in the crowd said something, and then a grand ceremonial procession appeared at the end of the street.

Dozens of royal guards holding flags led the way in front, and the luxurious carriage in the middle was pulled by two tall, snow-white horses. On both sides were palace maids and guards in uniform, walking in an even and uniform pace.

At this moment, a gentle breeze blew up the gauze curtain in the middle of the carriage, revealing Wan Rongyue's stunning face. Her eyebrows were lightly drawn, and her beautiful eyes were shining, and her glance seemed to be able to captivate people.

As if she felt everyone's gaze, she tilted her head slightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, which instantly made everyone lose their minds, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Please ask the Imperial Concubine to get out of the sedan chair!"

It was not until the ceremonial officer in front announced the news that everyone came to their senses.

Wan Changfu immediately stepped forward with his family, saluted respectfully towards Wan Rongyue's procession, and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you. I apologize for not coming from such a distance. I hope you will forgive me."

"Father, there's no need to be so polite. Get up!" A voice like the sound of nature emanated from the sedan chair. Like pearls falling on a jade plate, it carried an innate dignity and elegance.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Wan Rongyue, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor, getting off the imperial carriage, holding Qingye's hand, and walking towards the Minister's Mansion step by step.

When she reached the door, she glanced at the crowd and soon saw Aunt Rou, her biological mother, who was standing behind her stepmother Sun, looking at her expectantly.

Seeing that her aunt looked okay, just as she remembered her, she felt much more relieved.

After entering the hall, she first dismissed most of the people, leaving only a few trusted palace maids to follow and serve, then she bowed to Wan Changfu and his biological mother Sun, and exchanged a few words with them.

At this moment, Wan Rongyue's gaze suddenly fell on Wan Zilang's face. Seeing the scars on his face that had not yet disappeared, he casually asked:

"I heard that my second brother is studying at the Imperial College recently. Did he get into a fight with someone outside?"
