When the Marquis of Pingnan married Lou Kui's mother, it was an arranged marriage by his parents and a matchmaker.

But after he married her, she remained cold towards him.

He later discovered that the woman had always been thinking about the Prince of Guangfeng, but her family wouldn't allow her to become a concubine, so she was forced to marry him.

Since she was so shameless, he naturally didn't want to treat her with any care, so they treated each other with cold indifference.

Then he went to fight on the frontier, and when he returned, the woman's attitude towards him suddenly changed.

After inviting him for drinks, they had sex, and she became pregnant not long after.

Finally, the woman went to see the Prince of Guangfeng and gave birth to Lou Kui in a difficult labor.

One of the maids who accompanied the woman to the temple to offer incense was his person, and it was then discovered that Lou Kui was the child born to the woman who had stolen the Prince of Guangfeng.

Marquis Pingnan was wary of the Prince of Guangfeng, but he also didn't want to harm a young life himself, so he coldly watched as the woman arranged for Lou Kui to be sent to Qingzhou.

But he couldn't be too good to Lou Kui; not killing the bastard was already an act of mercy on his part.

Lou Kui's expression shifted. "I need to think about it."

Of course, she couldn't go back to Qingzhou.

Marquis Pingnan said coldly, "I'll give you three days."

Lou Kui thought for a moment and asked, "Does he know I'm a woman?"

Marquis Pingnan shook his head. "He probably doesn't know."

"I only found out you were a girl, not a boy, by accident."

Then he looked at her meaningfully, "By the way, the Prince of Guangfeng doesn't have a son yet. If you go to acknowledge him in your current capacity, he probably won't refuse."

Lou Kui looks restless; he should go and cause trouble for the Prince of Guangfeng.

He later found an opportunity to go to the palace and report the matter to the emperor.

Otherwise, given the Emperor and the Duke of Zhenguo's favor towards Princess Ling, they would definitely dislike Lou Kui and the Pingnan Marquis's mansion as a whole.

He didn't want to take the blame; let's leave that blame to Wang Guangfeng.

Lou Kui's eyes lit up. "I understand."

Seeing her expression, Marquis Pingnan suddenly felt a little fortunate that she wasn't his own daughter, otherwise she would definitely bring disaster to the family.

The Marquis of Pingnan's premonition was correct.

In her previous life, Lou Kui harbored resentment towards the Marquis of Pingnan, caused his death, and then directly seized the title from the Marquis of Pingnan's heir, becoming the new Marquis of Pingnan and gaining control of the Marquis's military power and influence.

After Fei Yu ascended the throne, Lou Kui faked her death, changed her identity, and entered the palace as empress.

Then Lou Kui deliberately framed him, causing the Pingnan Marquis's mansion to prosecute him for treason.

All the male members of the Pingnan Marquis's household were beheaded, the married daughters were divorced, and the unmarried daughters and the Pingnan Marquis's stepmother were sent to the Jiaosifang (a government-run educational institution) as government slaves.

The Marquis's family met a rather tragic end.

After the Marquis of Pingnan left, Lou Kui had the system lock onto the location of the Prince of Guangfeng. She tidied herself up and then went to meet and woo him.

Lou Kui also harbored some ambition. If she were to be recognized by the Prince of Guangfeng and her biological father were to successfully rebel and become emperor, she might even become an empress in the future, supreme and surrounded by beauties. How wonderful that would be!

If her biological father hadn't rebelled or failed.

Once Fei Yu becomes emperor, she will change her identity and enter the palace as empress.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When Qingyou went out to deliver books, she also went to the Pingnan Marquis's residence and placed her mental energy mark on Lou Kui.

They learned about the conversation between the two and were quite surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lou Kui was not the daughter of the Marquis of Pingnan. No wonder the real Lou Kui lived a very quiet and low-key life in Qingzhou before this "Lou Kui" transmigrated here.

She touched her chin. Lou Kui's biological father was actually the Prince of Guangfeng. That would be interesting!

In the original owner's previous life, Lou Kui's reputation was always good because she didn't interfere.

Marquis Pingnan did not reveal Lou Kui's background at this moment.

However, it seems that she must have told Lou Kui about her background later, which is why the Marquis of Pingnan was killed by Lou Kui.

In the original owner's memories, Lou Kui changed her identity and entered the palace to become the empress, while the Pingnan Marquis's family was confiscated for treason.

Before long, Fei Yu discovered that the Pingnan Marquis's treason was framed and wronged by the Guangfeng King, and that the Pingnan Marquis was also killed by the Guangfeng King.

Fei Yu then discovered that the former crown prince was also killed by someone sent by the Prince of Guangfeng to Qinan Mountain, so the Prince of Guangfeng was beheaded and his mansion was confiscated.

It seems that Lou Kui played a significant role in all of this. First, she harmed her adoptive father, and then she betrayed her biological father. She was truly ruthless.

This unexpected turn of events led to Lou Kui going to recognize her biological father first, and then being taken back to the Prince of Guangfeng's palace, which was all for the best.

The next day, Qingyou set off for Qinan Mountain.

Everyone then realized that Princess Ling's earlier statement about severing ties with the Third Prince and going to Qinan Mountain to relax was not just a joke, but a serious matter.

When Fei Yu heard that Qingyou had left the capital, he was furious and felt inexplicably annoyed, as if his heart was blocked.

But he was confined to the prince's residence and couldn't go to stop it in person, so he could only sulk.

The other princes didn't want the third prince to marry Princess Ling in the first place, so now that the two have parted ways, it's a good thing for them.

So the news was leaked that the Third Prince had written a letter to rebuke Princess Ling in order to protect Lou Kui, which led to Princess Ling going to Qinan Mountain to relax today.

That morning at the imperial court, the third prince was impeached in more than a dozen memorials.

Marquis Pingnan was also impeached, accused of failing to properly educate his son.

Marquis Pingnan was extremely aggrieved, but he had no choice but to temporarily accept the blame.

After the court session, Marquis Pingnan pondered the matter repeatedly and prepared to report Lou Kui's true identity to the emperor ahead of time.

The emperor was surprised after hearing this, clearly not expecting that Lou Kui was actually the offspring of his elder brother.
