In the second year of Yongsheng, in the third month of spring,

In Shengjing City, outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were lights and decorations, and there was a lot of traffic.

The inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Father, I am attracted to Brother Jingheng and am willing to marry into the Marquis's Mansion."

"You are right. The emperor is heartless and is not a good match."

"A few days ago, I was an unfilial daughter. I was blinded by greed and repeatedly disobeyed my father, which disappointed your good intentions." Jiang Wanfu knelt on the ground and said earnestly.

When Jiang Zhixu heard this, his hand holding the tea trembled and he looked at her in disbelief.

Jiang Wanfu's eyes were firm, but her face was still a little pale.

It was because she went on a hunger strike a few days ago in order to get him to agree to enter the palace for the selection.

Seeing this, Qin, who was sitting beside her, hurried forward to help her up from the ground, and said with relief: "Good child, get up quickly, it's good that you have figured it out, it's good that you have figured it out!"

"Because of this, your father and I have been so worried these past few days that we haven't been able to eat or sleep well."

"Mother, I was ignorant before and made you worry." Jiang Wanfu's eyes were red.

Jiang Zhixu put down his teacup, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after days of depression. He opened his mouth to confirm again, "Fu'er, have you really figured it out this time?"

Jiang Wanfu nodded heavily, her eyes were red, and when she looked up at him, her eyes were full of regret and guilt.

How could I not understand?

This was the enlightenment she gained in her previous life with blood, tears and pain.

That man is not someone she can mess with.

"Dad, it's Fu'er's fault. I've let you down. Brother Jingheng is a straightforward person and truly loves Fu'er. It would be great if I could marry him."

Jiang Wanfu changed the subject and said with a bit of sadness and embarrassment: "But now the imperial decree for the selection of concubines has been issued, and the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, so..."

"Fuer, don't worry. Your father will certainly not let you enter the palace to be bullied. Besides, you are not the only legitimate daughter of marriageable age in our Jiang family." Jiang Zhixu touched her head lovingly.

Jiang Wanfu's eyes flashed with resentment, and then she pretended to be surprised and said, "Daddy, are you talking about Sister Tang'er?"

Jiang Zhixu nodded and looked at her with admiration: "That's right, your father has already sent someone to take her back home. Calculating the date, she will be here in two days."

"But, will Sister Tang'er agree? What if she doesn't..."

Jiang Wanfu pretended to wipe the dried tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Jiang Zhixu's face was fierce, and he said disdainfully: "How dare she! It's not her turn to be so presumptuous in this family!"

Upon hearing this, Qin hurried forward and held Jiang Wanfu's hand, saying to herself, "Don't worry, Fu'er. Being able to enter the palace as a noble lady is a blessing that Tang'er will never achieve in several lifetimes. Why would she not want to do it?"

Jiang Zhixu's expression softened slightly, and he spoke coldly, "It would be best if she realizes this, otherwise... humph!"

He shook his sleeves and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her!"

"Yes, yes, don't mention her, don't mention her!" Qin smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Today is our Fu'er's birthday, which is the most important happy event in the mansion."

"Good girl, go back and get ready. The guests will be arriving soon." Qin patted the back of Jiang Wanfu's hand and said lovingly, "Our Fu'er, you will definitely be the most dazzling birthday star in Shengjing City today!"

Jiang Wanfu bowed obediently and walked out.

When he turned around, the innocence and kindness on his face were gone, replaced by resentment and viciousness.

When she woke up today, she found herself reborn.

Not only was she reborn, but she was also reborn before she entered the palace.

Everything is just right, God really helps her!

So, the first thing she did when she woke up was to rush over to tell her father that she didn't want to enter the palace and didn't want to go there anymore.

Jiang Wanfu looked at her charming and attractive face in the bronze mirror, her lips curled up as she murmured, "Jiang Wantang, in this life, I will become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion and take back everything that belongs to me."

"And you... tsk!"

"The mud should be thrown to the ground and trampled on!"

Then, she looked up at the two rows of maids waiting outside and said, "Bring me all my best clothes and jewelry."

"Today is my young lady's birthday party. I want to show everyone what a true daughter of the Jiang family is, the most beautiful woman in the capital!"

"Yes, ma'am."

After Jiang Wanfu left, Qin went to the front hall to prepare for today's birthday banquet. Only Prime Minister Jiang Zhixu stood alone in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, wondering what he was thinking about.

Butler Xu from the Prime Minister's Mansion had been with him for many years. Seeing the complicated expression on the master's face, he knew what he was thinking.

Now that the eldest daughter has thought it through and no longer wants to enter the palace, the next variable will be the upcoming second daughter.

However, after so many years, no one knows whether she is dead or alive.

He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Lord Prime Minister. There has been no news from Zhuangzi for so many years. The Second Miss must be fine."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhixu's pupils sank slightly, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.

This time, even Butler Xu couldn't see through it.

It's funny to say that, as the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family, although Jiang Wantang is not as pampered as Jiang Wanfu, she should also be raised by her mother and loved like her sister Jiang Wanhe.

Unfortunately……

She had a face that Prime Minister Jiang disliked and feared.

Jiang Wantang has had an extremely beautiful appearance since she was a child. Even at such a young age, her bright face was faintly revealing her alluring beauty. Her appearance was far more beautiful than that of Jiang Wanfu, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family who was praised by everyone.

Every time Prime Minister Jiang saw her, there was a hint of gloominess in his eyes.

Even when she was six years old, she really had the intention to kill.

What kind of complex and intense emotion would drive a father to commit the crazy act of killing his own daughter?

Butler Xu didn't understand either.

"I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy lately..." Jiang Zhixu suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Send someone to the front hall to keep an eye on things. Today is Fu'er's birthday, and we absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Butler Xu bowed and retreated.

……

At this time, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion was decorated with lights and colors, and the scene was grand. There was an endless stream of carriages coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

Jiang Wanfu, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is the most beautiful girl in the capital. Naturally, countless nobles and young men from aristocratic families came to congratulate her on her birthday party.

However, among the many gorgeous and exquisite carriages, there was an extremely ordinary and simple carriage that stood out.

As the carriage stopped at the gate of the prime minister's residence, the hustle and bustle outside quieted down at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were looking at this carriage which couldn't be more ordinary, as if such a simple carriage shouldn't be here.

Nanny Li got off the carriage trembling with fear. Seeing so many people watching, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead again and again, and said in a whisper, "Second Miss... Second Miss, we're home."

She was an old servant of Qin's. This time, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent her to pick up Jiang Wantang and bring her back to the capital. Before leaving, she was specifically told not to let this country girl show up in public.

Nanny Li knew very well that the Prime Minister's Mansion disliked the vulgarity of this second young lady from the countryside, who would tarnish the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The original date for returning to Beijing was two days later, but she didn't expect that the second young lady, although young, was not someone easy to control.

She hurried all the way and returned home on the day of the eldest daughter's birthday.

Look at what a grand occasion it is now. If she messes up, the master and the mistress will skin her alive.
