All these years, He Yi's father is still the Vice Minister of Rites, and that has never changed. Even if he sends a daughter into the palace, she will not be promoted.

"Because his daughter is stupid."

Huo Xiaolong helped his mother down from the carriage. Today, He Yi wanted to take her mother's remains back, so let it be her own will as a daughter.

He Yi knew that her mother liked her father. She didn't know why, it was like she was under a spell, she liked him so much, even after the mistress of the house had bullied him like that.

Everyone else is a strong, beautiful woman, but her mother is a resentful, weak woman who can't even protect her own daughter.

So, since she was killed by the mistress with a bowl of medicine, she certainly wouldn't let her mother stay in the He family's ancestral graveyard any longer. In the next life, she would find someone else who would love her, and she would stay as far away from her biological father as possible.

Secondly, she wanted to come back and see if her mistress and father were doing well.

If it's not good,

She was so happy.

The autumn breeze is refreshing, and the streets are covered in golden yellow, making a crunching sound when people walk on them.

Today, He Yi is making a big show of herself. Her daughter is riding a tall horse in front of her, followed by her husband, who is now a general. Although it is true that one can only rely on oneself in life, why not take advantage of the opportunity to make oneself proud?

"Greetings to Your Highness."

When the father and mistress of the Ministry of Rites saw Long'er, they knelt down and bowed. The girl in the python robe in front of them ignored them, handed the reins to Xiaocao, and went to the carriage to wait for her mother to get off.

He's father knew her current identity after He Yi entered the palace that day.

Every day, the thought of her second daughter fills her with dread.

Back then, I did neglect them, mother and daughter, and even the death of her aunt was somewhat unclear.

But isn't that how things are in the inner quarters?

Everyone must listen to the mistress.

presumably……

She should...

"I have come today to accompany my mother to retrieve my maternal grandmother's memorial tablet and remains. I hope Madam He can show me the way."

Long'er still didn't let them get up. The girl supported her mother with one hand, her chin slightly raised, looking down at people with her nose in the air.

“Your Highness, Madam He’s mother is a concubine of my He family. Such behavior is against the rules.”

The matriarch of the He family suppressed the white moonlight of Master He for his entire life; whether he lived or died, and how he fared, was all within her control.

How could this kind of woman allow He Yi's mother to have a grand funeral after her death? Didn't she like coming to the He family mansion?

Let her lie in the cold water of the He mansion for the rest of her life. Anyway, her daughter has tried it for her many times.

He Yi smiled when she heard this. When she was little, she didn't quite understand why the mistress couldn't tolerate her and her daughter. But she understood later.

Her father gave all the little love he had to his own mother, but that's the problem.

Love exists, but not much.

“Madam He, this is not a discussion, this is an order. I am He Yi, a second-rank imperial lady, and I am here today to bring my mother home.”

“Your mother is a concubine of the He family. Her indenture is in my hands. She is in this life and she will be in the next. As long as I live, she must be subservient to the He family!”

Jealousy had clouded her judgment. Madam He herself wasn't very bright; otherwise, she wouldn't have raised such a stupid and foolish elder sister.

The old woman stood up and glared angrily at He Yi.

Grandpa He, standing next to him, was covered in sweat.

This is the Prince of Zhenbei. If it were just He Yi, it would be one thing, but his daughter has reclaimed the grasslands and is now a favorite of the emperor.

"I didn't tell you to get up. Don't you know the rules?"

The girl in the python robe slapped Madam He to the ground. Long'er's strength was so great that Madam He was stunned for a long time.

The key point is that everything that happened at this time took place in front of the He residence, and there were many onlookers on the street.

"My daughter is also a concubine in the palace, how dare you?"

—Slap.

It was He Yi who did it.

"You have no manners! Didn't you hear the prince call you to get up?"

"Is the Prince of Zhenbei trying to use his power to intimidate people?"

—Slap.

He Yi slapped her again, and the beauty leaned down and whispered in Madam He's ear.

"I'm just bullying you, just like you bullied me back then, mistress. I couldn't fight back then, and you can't now either. Just bear with it."

As for her father, He Yi hadn't given him a second glance since they first met.

Huo Xiaolong came today to recognize people and find out what He Yi's biological father looks like, so he can make things difficult for him when he attends court in the future.

At this moment, the eagle was a bit far from the mother and daughter, leading the horse on the side. The eagle saw He Yi slapping Madam He repeatedly, and felt very sorry for her.

That hand must hurt so much! Why didn't you let your daughter slap it? Long'er is strong; she could slap that woman so hard she couldn't get out of bed, like dislocating her jaw.

"But you haven't entirely done no good either," He Yi said with a smile.

Then the beauty turned around and waved to Huo Shuwen. The eagle saw this and immediately came over, asking a question.

"What's wrong?"

"Show off to the mistress."

“If it weren’t for your kindness in arranging guards for me back then, I wouldn’t have been able to give birth to such a wonderful daughter, and I wouldn’t have been able to slap you in front of the local people.”

"Ayi, shall we go into the mansion first? Aren't we going to pick up your aunt and take her home? We need to go into the mansion to get the land deed, right?"

Feeling humiliated, Vice Minister He asked He Yi to come into the mansion with them.

Only after this incident did he realize that the rumors circulating outside were true.

Having been in the capital for so long, has no one sent a beauty to the Prince of Zhenbei's father?

But those beauties didn't even get to see Huo Shuwen, let alone cause trouble for the Prince of Zhenbei.

The eagle's daily life was remarkably stable, consisting of only three points: going to court, returning home, and picking up his wife and children from the brothel. That was it.

Now those girls go to brothels during the day and stay at the Prince's Mansion at night.
