After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

She had originally intended to destroy the book, but she had been busy with many matters at home recently and forgot about it. When she remembered it, she had some free time and casually flipped to a page. This one glance was all it took; she was immediately captivated and couldn't stop reading.

She especially loved the serialized novel, but the book she took from Luo'er at that time was the latest issue. She only found out after inquiring that a new book would be published every seven days.

After reading the novel "The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with His Little Maid," she couldn't stop thinking about the plot and felt uneasy.

Even though I know this story is absurd and unbelievable—how could a prince fall in love with a lowly servant girl? Does he not care about the dignity of the royal family? It's almost laughable.

But somehow, the more absurd it became, the more unstoppable it became.

She just couldn't resist reading this storybook, and the more she read, the happier she became. She stayed up all night to finish the book. In order to catch up on the previous stories, she went to many people to collect all the previous books. Except for the first issue, which was relatively few and difficult to find, the other issues were collected quite quickly.

Madam Ling was amused, but the Imperial Censor was in a bad mood, thinking he had done something wrong and was being sent to sleep elsewhere by his wife.

Seeing that her mother was speechless because of her words, Ling Luo didn't make things difficult for her. She thought that reading this book was not shameful, but her mother took it very seriously.

Since she had discovered her mother's secret, she decided to borrow the book from Madam Ling to read at home.

Madam Ling hesitated for a long time before nodding in agreement.

“Mother, this book is not some low-class book. You don’t need to hide it from us if you want to read it. Good books can be shared by everyone. In fact, even Madam Wei is reading this book!”

Lady Wei was the Prime Minister's wife and was once the most talented woman in Bianjing. However, Lady Ling disliked her and believed that she was the one who deserved the title. She wanted to compete with her in everything.

However, she was always overshadowed by Madam Wei. Even now that they are both married, she still wants to compete with her openly and secretly. Little did she know that her daughter gets along well with Madam Wei's daughter and they are the best friends that all the noble ladies in Bianjing envy.

Upon hearing her daughter's words, the awkwardness and discomfort she felt earlier dissipated somewhat.

Then she heard her daughter casually say, "This book has started a book club, and everyone will have the opportunity to have a great time discussing it. I wonder if I'll still be able to go."

Ling Luo was somewhat saddened, after all, she had missed several sessions. The book appreciation gathering was in two days. She had been studying day and night, but she didn't know if she could catch up. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to discuss things with her sisters when she got there!

As for whether she could leave the manor to attend, she wasn't worried at all. If she hadn't discovered her mother's secret, she probably wouldn't have been able to go, but now it's different. She didn't expect her mother to be watching, which gave her the opportunity to leave the manor.

Madam Ling had no idea what Ling Luo was thinking, but she did hear her say, "A book appreciation gathering?"

Madam Ling seemed to be deep in thought.

The sunlight was perfect, and the late spring breeze carried the restlessness of approaching summer, causing the green leaves in the courtyard to sway and dance. The chirping of insects mingled with the gentle ripples on the emerald lake. This book appreciation gathering was being held at the Prime Minister's residence.

A group of women from prominent families presented their visiting cards and entered the inner courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence.

The house exudes understated luxury in every aspect, even down to the few golden koi in the lotus pond in the center of the courtyard.

Just then, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the mansion. The people in the carriage lifted the curtain, revealing the people inside: Ling Luo and Madam Ling.

With the help of servants, they got off the carriage one after the other. However, Madam Ling looked a little sullen. Ling Luo saw this, smiled, took Madam Ling's arm, and coaxed her, "Oh, Mother~ Now that you're here, don't keep a long face."

Madam Ling, who had originally volunteered to attend the book appreciation event, regretted it. Who could have known that the event would be held at the Prime Minister's residence? But her daughter was right; she was already there anyway.

Madam Ling glared at Ling Luo, who was jumping around happily beside her. "Do you need to tell me? Behave yourself. Stop jumping around like that. You don't act like a noble lady at all. You're just making a fool of yourself!"

Ling Luo playfully stuck out his tongue, "I know!" He quickly took his hand off Madam Ling's arm, stood up straight, and his earlier laughter and joking had vanished. At first glance, he actually looked quite serious.

Seeing that she had stopped making a fuss, Madam Ling nodded in satisfaction and finally had the mind to take a look at the Prime Minister's residence, which she was visiting for the first time.

Looking up, one is greeted by two solemn stone lions outside the gate, a very imposing gate, and above the gate hangs a gold-plated plaque bestowed by the emperor, simple yet grand, with a flowing and bold "Wei" character prominently displayed, this is the facade of the Prime Minister's residence.

After presenting their visiting cards, they entered the inner quarters without hindrance, where people were already waiting.

To Madam Wei's surprise, not only did she think that only a group of young girls had come, but several other ladies from different families had also come.

Ling Luo, who was standing to the side, did not notice the expression on Madam Ling's face; her heart had already been captivated by her sisters not far away.

"Go ahead." Madam Ling naturally saw through her thoughts and didn't intend to restrain her, so she let her leave.

"Thank you, Mother!" Ling Luo quickly left and headed towards Bai Zunxing and the others.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Ling walked over to the ladies, and they exchanged a few pleasantries before taking their seats.

"I never expected to find a like-minded lady here. I thought I would only meet a group of unmarried women here."

The ladies all thought so, since the book was only popular among these noble ladies for the time being, and the number of people who were interested was still small.

"This book is really too captivating. I originally thought it was some kind of miscellaneous book, not presentable, and I turned a blind eye to my young ladies reading it. But my eldest daughter insisted that I read it, saying it was good. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I thought I'd just pretend and fool her. But I was hooked after reading just one page."

"Hey, same here. I wasn't interested in reading at all. I was just bored in the backyard, so I went to the study in my house to find a book to read. Who knew that my maid was afraid I would find out that I was reading this kind of book, so she secretly hid the book in the bookcase and changed the cover to 'Women's Precepts'. She pretended to study every day and came to the study just to read this book. Who knew that I would happen to find this book. At first, I didn't know, but after reading a few pages, I realized that something was wrong."

Hearing several ladies complain about how they were tricked into reading the book at first, Madam Ling smiled knowingly, realizing she wasn't alone.

"Madam Ling, I wonder why you read this book in the first place?" Just then, one of the ladies suddenly asked her, and the other ladies also turned to look at her.
