"Oh, right, this is what I just found in the manor."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yue quickly handed the items to Jun Feijue and said angrily, "This servant knows who the culprit is who destroyed our manor!"
"Oh, how so?"
Jun Feijue reached out and took it. He saw that the wooden plaque, which was carved with simple patterns, had the character "Zhou" carved on it.
"This token is the exclusive identification token of the Zhou family's secret guards. These people must have been sent by the second concubine to assassinate the young lady."
Jin Yue said with a look of relief, "Fortunately, Miss was out playing today and was not in the manor. When I saw that Miss had not returned, I went out to look for her. Otherwise, I was afraid I would have ended up like the wet nurse."
"Second Madam? Who is this?"
Jun Feijue frowned and said, "Explain yourself in detail."
"yes."
Jin Yue nodded and then told him the whole story.
It turns out that Qingxuan Wangbang used to have five major families, and Jun Feijue's mother was the eldest daughter of the fifth family, the Shen family.
With the marriage between the Jun and Chen families, a powerful alliance, Jun Feijue's status should naturally be extremely noble.
Unexpectedly, the pillar of the Shen family, the old patriarch Shen, suddenly disappeared without a trace seven years ago.
Without the old patriarch, the Shen family was immediately attacked by the other three major families.
The Jun family lost its allies and was left isolated and powerless, leaving them with no choice but to stand by and watch, which ultimately led to the annihilation of the Shen family.
With the Shen family wiped out, Shen's position in the Jun family immediately became awkward. As a mistress without her maternal family, Zhou, a concubine who was the legitimate daughter of one of the four new great families, was the first to be dissatisfied.
She and Jun Yunping, the current head of the Jun family, were childhood sweethearts who were deeply in love. However, because the elders of the Jun family valued the power of the Shen family, she was forced to marry as a concubine, even though she was already pregnant at the time!
Although Jun Yunping still loved her and cherished her in every way, she still couldn't bear the fact that her child was born out of wedlock, and she never stopped thinking about making her the official child.
Seeing the Shen family destroyed, she immediately felt hopeful and advocated to depose the Shen family and replace them with her as the matriarch.
Unfortunately, the elders felt guilty for not being able to help the Shen family. To avoid developing inner demons that would hinder their cultivation path, they insisted on protecting the Shen family's position as matriarch, causing the Zhou family to fail in their endeavors.
Zhou could tolerate all of this, until Shen gave birth to her legitimate daughter, Jun Feijue, and she finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Why? I'm just a baby." Jun Feijue looked puzzled.
"Because the old patriarch once saved Lord Qingxuan's life, in order to repay the debt of gratitude, the patriarch agreed to let the current crown prince marry the eldest daughter of the Jun family as his crown princess."
Jin Yue explained, "But the Second Madam also has a daughter of her own. She was never satisfied with the Madam being the head of the household. Now that she sees that the position of Crown Princess is going to be given to you, Miss, she wants to get rid of you. After all, no one in the entire Jun family except the Madam is her match."
After listening, Jun Feijue frowned and shook his head, saying, "You humans have such complicated thoughts."
Jin Yue: "..."
"After that, how did Second Aunt bring me here?"
Jun Feijue sat down cross-legged on the spot and asked curiously, "Didn't you say that all the elders were on our side?"
"That was true at first, but Aunt Zhou used some method to cause the master to be struck by lightning on your first birthday banquet, resulting in serious injuries."
Jin Yue said angrily, "Because of this, the Zhou family invited a fortune teller to come and exorcise the demon. Then they said that your fate is incompatible with the head of the family, and if you live together before the age of five, one of you will be injured and you will need to be sent away."
