Chapter 108 Sisters pool money to hire a killer
Princess Zhennan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She threw the copper gilt lotus incense burner beside the bed directly to the ground, and the incense ashes were scattered everywhere.
A flame ignited in her eyes, anger surged, and she gritted her teeth and said, "This evil creature, why didn't she die after falling off the Cliff of Unfeeling, and now he comes out to stir up trouble again.
Ever since receiving the imperial decree granting the marriage and bringing the disaster star back home, there have been constant troubles in the mansion, both big and small, and the second concubine was even killed by her.
When the fake disaster star died, the real one came back again, and all the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse disappeared overnight, all taken away by her.
As a result, the palace couldn't even take out 800 silver coins, and the monthly income from those shops was just enough to cover the expenses of the palace.
The Duke's Mansion often helped me, and because she severed all ties with me, this unlucky star must die, she must die!"
The Princess of Zhennan became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and finally she roared, her eyes full of murderous intent.
The old maid beside her hurriedly advised: "Princess, please calm down. After all, she is your daughter, a piece of your flesh and blood."
"I really regret not having such a daughter. I should have strangled her when she was born."
Shen Meng was furious and had the urge to kill Ye Qingyan again.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded at the door: "Who is this fool who has angered Mother again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman pushed the door open and walked in. She was wearing a goose yellow dress with floral patterns and a cloud-shaped belt around her waist, which made her slender waist look even more obvious.
A seven-treasure exquisite hairpin was inserted in her bun. She had a face like a lotus and walked to the bed with lotus steps.
This person was none other than Ye Xinran, the daughter of the second concubine.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? Anger is harmful to your health."
After saying this, he stroked Princess Zhennan's chest to help her calm down.
Seeing Ye Xinran being so considerate, Shen Meng's anger subsided a lot. "I'm so angry, so angry!" She kept coughing after saying that.
"Mother, what makes you so angry?"
Princess Zhennan exhaled a breath of foul air: "It's all because of that unlucky star. He came out to stir up trouble again and caused the Duke's Mansion to sever ties with my mother."
The fear in Ye Xinran's heart was like a raging storm. Her carefully drawn eyebrows and eyes revealed a deep cold light, which was disproportionate to her delicate and gentle face. The cold light disappeared in a flash.
She said firmly, "Mother, she is your daughter after all. She was raised in the countryside without you, so it's inevitable that she doesn't know etiquette."
"This princess doesn't have a daughter like this. I'd rather she died. Having you two is enough for your mother."
Ye Xinran smiled and said, "My daughter will serve mother wholeheartedly.
Mother, I have cooked a bowl of bird's nest porridge for you. I added some precious medicinal herbs to it. It is good for your health. Please try it."
Ye Xinran waved her hand, and a maid came over with bird's nest porridge.
She took the bowl, picked up the spoon and handed it to Princess Zhennan.
Shen Meng took the bowl but didn't drink it. She said, "Xinran, you and Xintong grew up with your mother, and this princess treats you as her own children.
You are not young anymore, and you haven't found a suitable candidate in the past two years, so your marriage has been delayed.
The day after tomorrow, I will adopt you two sisters under my mother's name, and you will also be legitimate daughters."
Ye Xinran had been waiting for this sentence for a long time and was very excited.
Ever since she could remember, the second aunt told her that she had used a trick to drive away the evil star and that she must treat the princess as her biological mother.
One day, let the two sisters be adopted by the princess.
Ye Xinran quickly knelt down: "Xinran thanks mother!"
Shen Meng smiled and said, "Hurry up and get up. Don't kneel down and get cold on the ground."
Ye Xinran smiled and stood up: "Mother, I'm going to tell my sister this good news."
"Well, let's go."
Ye Xinran's face looked as bright as a flower, but when she walked out of the house, her face instantly turned cold.
Her eyes were sharp and filled with murderous intent. She glanced back at the room and thought to herself: My mother's death was caused by you.
My mother's death will not be in vain. When I become a real legitimate daughter, I will never fawn on you like a dog again.
Today, the Prince of Zhennan's Palace is just an empty shell, but it is a palace after all. With the title of legitimate daughter, she will definitely marry into a good family.
And that evil star, I must get rid of her, only then can my position be secure.
With a smile on her lips, she walked straight towards Ye Xintong's yard.
"Sister, great news!" Ye Xinran smiled as she walked.
"Sister, why are you so happy?"
"Sister, mother will adopt us as her legitimate daughters one day."
"After so many years, we are finally going to become legitimate daughters!"
Ye Xinran sat there and poured a cup of tea. She picked up the cup, took a few sips and held it in her hand, "Sister, now the real Ye Qingyan is back. It's Xiaoqi, the person that mother sent assassins to kill a few days ago.
It is rumored that Xiaoqi is very rich. He can make a small profit of one thousand taels or even tens of thousands of taels by handling a house for others.
Given her father's greedy nature, he would definitely take her back home, and then all her money would belong to the palace.
It's all over for us sisters, we can't let her come back."
Ye Xintong was helpless: "We don't have any secret guards, how can we kill her?"
Ye Xinran smiled coldly: "Dragon Tiger Hall is a killer organization, they specialize in taking assassination missions."
"But Dragon and Tiger Hall is in the suburbs of Beijing, and we can't contact them."
Ye Xinran's eyes flickered: "We don't need to go, let Mrs. Liu go, she has seen a lot of the world.
If anything goes wrong, we can blame it on Mother. She has already sent someone to kill Xiao Qi anyway."
Ye Xintong opened a silver-locked drawer and took out a small box from it. There were more than a dozen silver bills in the box.
"Sister, this is all I have. A total of 5,200 taels, all given to me by my mother and grandmother over the years."
Ye Xintong was reluctant to part with the money, as it was all her belongings, and she held the box tightly.
Ye Xinran took out the banknotes from inside and said, "I still have eight thousand taels, which should be enough."
Ye Xintong expressed her thoughts: "Sister, do we need to deal with Ye Qingyan?
Mother doesn't like her, so even if she returns to the palace, it won't have much impact on us. She will have to marry into the Zhan Palace soon."
"As long as she is here, we will always be labeled as illegitimate children.
Listen to me on this matter. We are sisters from the same mother, and I won't cheat you."
Ye Xintong was at a loss at this time: "Okay, then this matter must be done absolutely without any mistakes.
They took the money but failed to kill the man, so in the end our efforts were in vain."
"Don't worry, the assassin organizations are honest. If you give them money, they will definitely kill you.
Just wait for good news. Sister has something else to do and will leave first."
After Ye Xinran finished speaking, she walked towards her yard.
Ye Xintong began to feel anxious...
