Zhao froze for a moment, then slapped Wei Ling'er hard across the face, her anger palpable. "Are you insane?!"

"I'm not crazy!"

"You're crazy! Don't talk nonsense like that, you ungrateful wretch! You're a jinx, you're going to bring us all bad luck!"

Zhao pounded her thigh and sat on the ground, wailing, "How could I have given birth to such a clueless child? Don't you know that our Emperor and Empress love each other dearly? Have you never met them before? Shame on you! Go look in the mirror and see for yourself. You may be pretty, but haven't the emperor seen better? There are countless daughters of high officials who surpass you in beauty! Oh my heavens, please take her away!"

Zhao really was scared out of her wits. She had spent so long in the capital, hearing all sorts of things about the emperor and empress.

She also thought it was unreasonable for the Empress to monopolize the Emperor. After all, he was the Emperor! The richest and most capable man in the entire world. How could he only be allowed to marry one woman?

But after hearing those ladies say that there were not a few young misses vying to enter the palace, what happened in the end?

Either she's dead, or her marriage was a bad one. It even caused her brothers to be unable to advance in their careers and were eventually stripped of their wealth and executed.

The Zhao family was terrified out of their wits.

“If you want to die, don’t drag us down. What do I want? I haven't enjoyed a single day of good fortune and now I have to go with you to die! You heartless wretch, you won't stop until this family is ruined. No, you must marry that Fu family son. Tomorrow, we will take you to the Fu family and make amends.”

Weiguang was eager to take a gamble. “That… if Ling’er could really enter the palace, our family would never worry for generations.”

"Get out of here with your bullshit! What if it fails? The whole family will be wiped out. I want to be rich and prosperous, not dead! Marrying into the Fu family is risk-free." Zhao kicked Wei Guang, stopping him from fanning the flames.

Wei Guang fell silent, after all, no one is fearless of death.

And the Fu family's wealth and prosperity were already enough for them; compared to life now, it was simply worlds apart.

Wei Ling'er shook her head. Her family would always just hold her back. "Then you go," she said.

"What good is running away? Does that mean you're not responsible anymore?" Zhao shi cried out louder and louder, "Are you deliberately trying to kill us? You unfilial daughter, you can play the piano, or draw…"

"I will!" Wei Ling'er frowned. Now she missed the days at the Huo family even more. After all, Granny had never wronged her, and on the contrary, she supported her in many things.

What about you?

"You're unwilling to spend money on me, yet you want to squeeze the maximum profit from me. But this grandma is different, she spent money to let me learn everything I wanted."

"That's not going to work either. There are so many people who can play the piano, stop messing around, okay?" Zhao shi's voice had softened out of fear.

Kwai Wei Ling's heart was set. To be precise, she had never wavered in her resolve.

When she was little, she didn't understand it was possessiveness. But later on, she realized why she disliked Fu JiuJiu. It wasn't because everyone said she looked like Fu JiuJiu, but because she could be with the Emperor every day and every night.

She envies, she jealously.

……

Fu Tian's crown here involves the matter of Hong Qixing, and he is also restless, thinking that Xiao Ai might have had an accident when she was in his hands.

He couldn't see Fu Tianxing, but he could see Fu Tiǎnbǎo.

"Qi Ge, what's up?" Fu Tianbao hasn't been in a good mood these days. Unless there's something important, Fu Tianxing wouldn't bother him.

"It's important, did you ever show the little cutie to someone else back then?"

"Little cutie? When did this happen? Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"The little one was drugged by someone, which caused a drastic change in her personality, leading to her being killed by King Nan Yu. Seven Stars and King Nan Yu still have a grudge against each other because of this incident. Since this happened because of me, I naturally need to give them an explanation."

"Hiss..." Fu Tianbao's expression grew serious after hearing this, and then his brows furrowed. From his gaze, Fu Tiangan guessed what he was thinking.

"Is it Wei Ling'er, right? Did you show it to Wei Ling'er?"

Fu Tian'gan categorically stated that it was impossible because he knew his family members well and they would never do such a thing.

Fu Tianbao shook his head, "I didn't show it to her, she hates snakes."

"Not her? Who else could it be?" Fu Tian Guan was afraid Fu Tian Bao wouldn't understand, so he tried to explain. "It's not that I have a prejudice against her, it's just that I know our family well, and you only have her as an outsider around you, so..."

"Big Seven, you don't need to explain, I understand."

Fu Tian'gan patted him on the shoulder. "You understand, don't you? If you haven't been in contact with her, who else could it be?"

“I've never come into contact with it, but that doesn't mean it can't be poisonous.”

Speaking was Fu Tianxing, who had just walked over from afar. He had also just told Fu Jiujiu about these things in the palace, and his suspicions were also Wei Ling'er.

"Eight-treasure, how do you say it?" Fu Tianbao said.

Fu Tianxing took a deep breath, "How to say? The poison wouldn't be put on Xiaokai alone, it could also be put on you or in the food. It’s just that over so many years, it would be more difficult to investigate, and there wouldn't be any direct evidence. It's a pity that even I wasn't aware back then, that girl was quite skilled in using poison."

Fu Tianbao cleared his throat, "I'm not exonerating her, I just want to say, what was her purpose?"

"Jealousy, being unable to get something, there's a lot of it, and some people kill without even needing a motive. What more could be said about a snake? If I had known that girl was so cruel, I wouldn't have played with her in the first place." Fu Tianxing said.

Fu Tianbao's face flushed red, "I... I didn't know she was like that back then."

"It's not too late to know now. When I came in, I heard my aunt and my mother talking. They said that Wei Ling'er's parents came to our house today wanting to marry you."

Fu Tianxing paused slightly, wanting to see Fu Tiǎnbǎo's reaction.

Fu Tianbao shook his head. "I've already made things clear to her, Seventh Brother, Eighth Brother. I'm not that stupid. I still know the seriousness of the situation."

"Good!" Fu Tian'guan patted his shoulder. "Since you understand, we don't need to say more. I don't believe that an outsider with many schemes could be better than your own cousin who grew up with us."

"Our Fu family is known for being devoted, but that's only if the other party is worthy." Fu Tianxing smirked. "Still, it seems my young aunt is the most capable, discovering all of Wei Ling'er's hidden affairs with just one bowl of soup."

"Unfortunately, there is no evidence right now. After so many years, it would be too difficult to gather it." Fu Tianguan said.

Do you think it's her good luck, or your aunt's good luck?

Fu Tianxing looked at his two bewildered brothers and said, "She's under our noses. Perhaps she got lucky this time, but this time she's provoking her aunt. Do you think she can still win?"
