As Xiao Zhao had expected, the moment she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the housekeeper came out to greet her. He bowed and said, "Madam, please go to the study quickly. The master has already asked this old servant to take away all the outsiders. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

When Xiao Zhao heard this, her heart was beating like a drum and her hands and feet were shaking with nervousness.

It was definitely not a good thing for her father to come to her in such a harsh way.

She quickly asked Madam Zhou to go to her mother, either to seek help or to find someone to back her up.

Then he walked step by step to his father's study.

As soon as she entered, the housekeeper closed the door with great tact. Xiao Zhao looked up and saw her father sitting on the armchair in front of her with a stern face, staring at her coldly.

"Greetings, father. I wonder why you called me here?" Little Zhao bowed respectfully.

The old prime minister didn't say anything, and one could feel in the air that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

After a long sigh, the old prime minister said in a deep voice, "Why did you insist on killing that girl?"

Xiao Zhao was shocked when she heard this and looked up at her father in panic.

My father’s eyes are so sharp, like a sword, able to penetrate people’s hearts.

"I don't understand what my father is talking about. I didn't kill... I don't know who the child my father is talking about is?" Her voice trembled and she became more and more panicked.

The old prime minister laughed out of anger, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Think it over carefully before you reply. Do you want to pretend to be confused, or just speak out your true thoughts and let your father sort them out for you? It's your choice."

Xiao Zhao didn't dare to speak, and her mind was thinking quickly.

My father has always been strict with his children. Although he supports his family members and nephews, he never allows them to disregard the law and bully others by taking advantage of their power.

Whenever such a case occurred, he would arrest the perpetrators without mercy, and those who deserved punishment would be punished, and those who deserved imprisonment would be imprisoned.

As the legitimate daughters of the Prime Minister's family, she and her sister did not enjoy the glory brought by power as others thought before they got married. On the contrary, because their father's repeated orders were too strict, they even imagined how good it would be if they were not the daughters of the Prime Minister's family.

This childish idea does not disappear until they get married.

After their marriage, they were no longer under their father's watchful eye, and they finally enjoyed the honor and privileges that came with being the legitimate daughters of the Prime Minister's family. The status of legitimate daughters from a prominent family made them guests of honor at every occasion, with everyone acting according to their wishes and no one daring to contradict or disobey them.

The arrogance that had been suppressed under her father's majesty was finally released, like a silent volcano suddenly erupting. The recklessness was too tempting. The flattery and flattery made her gradually forget her father's teachings and become bold.

In her eyes, money, power, and human lives have all become things that can be bought and sold, and even things that she can trample on at will.

In particular, the girl my father was talking about was Fang's child.

Fang was a thorn in her heart. After Fang died, the child she gave birth to became that thorn. Whenever she saw Shen Li, she would think of her own shameful days, and be reminded of her experience of having an affair that was not worthy of her noble status.

After achieving glory, people don’t want to recall their dark experiences. They would rather believe that it was a dream and that it was not real.

If it weren't for Fang, why would she be like this?

It's all Fang's fault that she refused to die and we didn't move her to a new place.

This bitch!

Her child is a bitch too!

Xiao Zhao lowered her head, her expression changing from gloomy to bright.

The old prime minister felt like there was a fire in his heart, almost burning him to death.

I really want to destroy all of this.

How come I gave birth to two daughters?

He regards human life as worthless, is ambitious, and is brainless and arrogant.

How can he face Fang Yao with this old face in the future?

Fang Yao's contemptuous eyes appeared in front of him, and Fang Yao's mocking words were heard in his ears, "Your daughter had an affair with Shen Zhaojiang before my sister left Beijing. The two bastards she gave birth to are concubines' sons, concubines' sons, concubines, concubines..."

In fact, he had suspected those things a long time ago and had guessed some of them in his heart, but out of consideration for his own flesh and blood, and since so many years had passed and no one mentioned it, and with the busy state affairs, he just turned a blind eye and let it go.

I never dreamed that one day I would be disgusted by the victim's brother in front of him. His brother was not just an ordinary citizen, but a general who dared to laugh at him and call his grandson a bastard in front of him.

The daughter of a prime minister who served two dynasties was willing to be someone's concubine. Even if she eventually became the principal wife, she could not erase that shameless past.

The family is unfortunate!

There was another sharp pain in his heart, like a needle stabbing. He bent down, covered his chest with his hands, and could hardly breathe.

"Tell me, you shameless thing!" He threw a teacup in his hand, almost hitting Xiao Zhao on the head. "Why did you kill that girl?"

Xiao Zhao dodged to the side.

The old prime minister's voice was as piercing as ice. "I called you here today to give you one chance. As long as you explain everything clearly and are willing to atone for your sins, you will still be the prime minister's lady. If you can't explain yourself clearly and refuse to repent, today will be the last time you return to your parents' home!"

"Father," Xiao Zhao was horrified and fell to her knees, saying in anger and fear, "Father, why are you so cruel to me? I haven't done anything to offend our family, so why are you kicking me out? I did think about killing Shen Li, but that didn't bother anyone else, and she didn't die, did she?"

"Father, are you scared by Fang Yao? Our family is the Prime Minister's Mansion. Our family status and power are no less than his Fang family. Why should you be scared by him like this? Isn't it because he relies on the emperor's favor that he dares to ignore us? Father, as long as you are willing to support the second prince and let the second prince ascend to the throne, when he ascends to the throne, you will be the dragon's successor. By then, your power will be second to none. Who will Fang Yao be by then? Will he dare to come to your house and provoke you? Even if you chop him down, no one will dare to say anything..."

Snapped!

A ruler flew over and hit Xiao Zhao on the shoulder.

She screamed in pain, tears streaming down her face, and almost fainted.

"You evil creature, I actually gave birth to something like you. You're absolutely lawless. Do you know what you're talking about? Ah! How can you casually discuss important court affairs? Do you dare to influence them? If you want to die, don't drag your family down with you. Get out of here right now." The old prime minister was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his voice was distorted. "Do you think Fang Yao just came here to say you want to kill his niece?"

His heart ached again, so he stopped talking and put a pill in his mouth.
