The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

As he spoke, he looked at Bai Jianan and said, "The Emperor has already ordered the General's Mansion to be sealed off for the crime of assassinating the heir of the Marquis of Qingyan in an attempt to defy the Emperor's orders. Now the General's Mansion is deserted, and this fire has already spread to Shangguan Hongwei at the border. I wonder if Shangguan Hongwei has received any news from the General's Mansion and whether he can escape this calamity."

"And you, the Emperor has already dissolved your engagement with Shangguan Jianyue and bestowed upon you the Miao witch Heli Hong. Therefore, if Jia Banwen cannot arrive in half a month, I will be unable to protect you. You will become a puppet who has forgotten your beloved, allowing that Golden Cicada Gu to burrow into your brain and become Heli Hong's plaything."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan wearily closed his eyes. Then, he suddenly opened them, his eyes filled with stubborn hatred, and said, "Half a month later, whether Jia Banwen returns or not, you will steal me away."

The wording made Zang Feng burst out laughing. Then, seeing the mournful look in Bai Jianan's eyes, he had no choice but to suppress his laughter and say, "Don't worry, I will definitely steal you away and not let Heli Hong find you to consummate our marriage."

"No, Heli Hong and the Prince of Qingyan are still in their bridal chamber, it's just that you stole me away."

Bai Jianan looked at Zang Feng with a deep and dangerous look in his eyes that sent chills down one's spine.

The marriage of the Marquis of Qingyan's heir was arranged in a very hasty manner, and it was still a marriage bestowed by the Emperor. This makes people sigh. The Marquis of Qingyan's heir is really favored. He lost one fiancée, and now another one has come.

But his previous fiancée died on their wedding day. Could she return as a vengeful ghost? Is the young master cursed to bring misfortune to his wives? And will his new fiancée also be cursed to death?

Numerous suspicions circulated among the people. The General's Mansion, which had been sealed off by the Emperor, remained silent. On the night of Bai Jianan's bestowal of marriage, Murong Chuan went to the General's Mansion, his mind filled with that stubborn figure.

After walking around the empty general's mansion for a while, Murong Chuan suddenly saw a white figure flash by. He immediately gave chase, but after tearing off the person's veil, he froze and watched as the person escaped.

That person is... Jian Yue.

Murong Chuan was absolutely certain that the person he saw was Jian Yue, and he would not mistake her for anyone else.

But why did she run away? Was it because she faked her death? Thinking of this, Murong Chuan frowned, turned and left the General's Mansion, preparing to send people out to investigate the whereabouts of the people in the General's Mansion.

Meanwhile, in the top-tier room on the third floor of the Fenglai Inn, not far from the General's Mansion in the capital.

"I told you not to go, but you wouldn't listen. Where's your official hat? Did something happen to you?"

The man's worried voice was followed by the woman's voice.

"It's nothing, I was just seen by someone. It was dark, so he probably didn't see my face. I just wanted to see what the place where she grew up was like."

After the woman finished speaking, she washed her face and took the towel the man handed her to wipe her face. The moment the towel was taken off, if it were Bai Jianan, or anyone who had ever had contact with Jian Yue, they would have noticed that the woman's face was exactly the same as Jian Yue's.

“Lingyu, why are you so obsessed with her? You were abandoned back then. If it weren’t for Father Khan bringing you back, you would have been dead long ago. It’s already a blessing that you don’t hold a grudge.”

As the man spoke, his eyes were filled with disdain. Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingyu looked at the man with a warning: "Don't speak ill of her. You are not her, how do you know that she willingly abandoned me?"

Upon hearing this, the man muttered, "Isn't it because he's worried about you? Your father has never said a good word about her, so what's there to defend?"

“But my father never said a bad word about her, so why are you so sure that I’m the one who was abandoned? Yin San, don’t forget who you are. You have no right to question my private affairs. So, shut up. If I hear you say another bad word about her, I won’t let you off the hook.”

As Qiu Lingyu spoke, she glanced coldly at Yin San, then turned to take off her clothes and said, "I need to rest. You can leave now."

Yin San reluctantly nodded: "Fine, I won't say anything. Why are you still so temperamental? Even your father never treated me like this. After all, I am the most esteemed politician in your family."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Lingyu smiled and said, "You willingly become my dog, and even claim to be the most distinguished politician in my family? Since you want to be the most distinguished person, why follow me and become this dog?"

Yin San's expression changed abruptly upon hearing this, but he couldn't bring himself to scold the woman in front of him for a long time. He could only shut his mouth in frustration, turn around and leave the room.

After Yin San left the room, Qiu Lingyu wearily lay down on the bed, the image of the person she had just seen flashing through her mind.

Murong Chuan, the man who almost became her love interest.

What's he doing at the General's Mansion? Is he lying in wait, hoping to catch someone from the General's Mansion?

But weren't all the people from the General's Mansion gone? Who could he possibly catch there? And why did he freeze when he saw her? Did he recognize her?

Thinking of this, her expression suddenly changed, and she stood up, muttering to herself, "Could it be that they've mistaken me for that Shangguan Jianyue? Are we really that similar? Then is she really my sister?"

However, her father never mentioned that she had a younger sister, nor did he ever mention why her mother was gone. Whenever she asked, all she was ever told was training, like a lone wolf constantly sharpening its claws for survival.

Therefore, she had been looking forward to calling her "mother" for fifteen years, but she had never uttered the word.

The first time she came to the Central Plains was when her father, the Khan, came back to do business when she was a child. She was very young at the time. After her father got drunk, she learned that her mother was here, so she went out to find her alone.

It's just a pity that she doesn't know where she is, what her name is, how old she is, or what she looks like.

They searched aimlessly for a long time, getting tired and hungry, but still couldn't find it.

Later, she found someone named Murong Chuan. She took him back to the inn where she was staying, and after Murong Chuan woke up, the two spent a few more days together.

At that time, she didn't understand the look in Murong Chuan's eyes. She was still young and only knew that the older brother in front of her liked her and treated her very well. She completely forgot that she had picked him up.

Later, when her father finished his business and was about to leave the capital, she followed him. She forgot that there was a young man waiting for her at the inn.

Then she became even stronger. In order to be able to leave the northern desert on her own and find her mother's whereabouts, she became a jackal in the northern desert, wandering on the training grounds of countless tough men, becoming the first sight in the northern desert, and also earning the title of the first wolf beauty in the northern desert.

Yin San surrendered to her because he was defeated, and vowed to follow her to the death. He would rather be a dog than leave her.

However, as they grew older, although their desire to find their mother remained strong, they had to accept the harsh reality.

In the northern desert, all that lives are wolves. What wolves do is conquer the battlefield. Therefore, as a son of the northern desert, she is destined to regard the Yue Kingdom as a piece of fat meat in her mouth. If she wants to be a warrior of the northern desert, she must remember her identity, forget her mother's origins, and forget her mother.

She still doesn't know how to choose.

The deep night carried Qiu Lingyu's confusion and bewilderment, as well as Chu Tianyi's unwillingness and stubbornness.

He held the broken sword in his hand day and night, practicing the moves he knew by heart. For seven days and seven nights, he didn't eat or drink a drop of water, but he still couldn't find a way to improve his swordsmanship.

He Xinle felt sorry for him and tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but was ruthlessly rejected. She could only stay by his side unwillingly.

Why is this happening to Little Yi? His kung fu is already amazing, it's just a broken sword, how did it turn out like this? Seven days without food, my goodness, how many pounds will Little Yi lose?

Thinking of this, He Xinle headed towards the market, thinking about making something to nourish her brother Xiao Yi. Although she didn't know how to cook, everyone has a first time, and she could learn.

Wandering happily through the market, I was suddenly stunned by the dazzling array of vegetables. What are all these? How can they be turned into delicious meals?

Cooking requires a knife, but what kind of knife? Wouldn't a sword work?

After searching and pondering for a long time, He Xinle still couldn't find a way to do it. Just as he was thinking about whether to hire a chef, his eyes suddenly lit up and he froze on the spot.

"What a coincidence, you're here to buy groceries?"

"Yes, what a coincidence."

He Xinle spoke mechanically, but when the other person grinned at her with a set of white teeth and messy straw hair, she was completely taken aback. Realizing what was happening, she hurriedly asked uncertainly, "Miss?"

Jian Yue rubbed her nose, frowned, and shooed away a fly that was buzzing around her before saying to He Xinle, "Congratulations on getting it right."

He Xinle was in a state of confusion, his mind filled with the thought that this was impossible.

This young lady is actually a beggar? And a dirty and smelly one at that?

Good heavens, what on earth is going on?

"Miss, what happened to you? Didn't you leave with your master? Why are you here dressed so...?"

Jian Yue smiled pitifully and said, "What kind of master is he? He's just a fraudulent bastard who stole me away, only to find that he couldn't support me, so he simply threw me away. Now I'm a dead person and can't show my face, so I can only hide here and beg for food."

She shooed away another fly beside her, then took two steps back and said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm dirty. Are you going to cook for someone? Chu Tianyi? If you're going to cook for him, remember to learn at a big restaurant first, otherwise you'll definitely be disliked if you make something bad."

Also, if you accidentally burn your hand while cooking, don't actually hide it. Pretend that Chu Tianyi saw it by accident, and then act like you're willing to do anything for him.

Only by conquering his heart little by little can you possibly conquer his body, understand? If you understand, I'm leaving now, otherwise I won't get any money today and will go hungry. Bye-bye.
