"No!"
Qiao quickly replied, a guilty look on her face, "That's because the maid who was tending the fire wasn't paying attention! I beat that maid to death!"
"We also gave your mother a grand burial!"
"What else could you possibly want!"
Mi Shan sneered.
If it weren't for her mother repeatedly holding her hand before losing consciousness, telling her to endure it...
Don't fall out with the Mi family.
At that time, she was still young and inexperienced, and needed to find a place to survive...
But now, she is His Majesty's concubine.
They no longer dared to make things difficult for her!
"So many years have passed, Father probably still doesn't know how my mother died. It's all because of your good daughter, she deliberately tried to set fire to the kitchen to burn me to death! That indirectly caused my mother's death!"
"That kitchen girl was just taking the blame for her!"
"Even she was rescued by my mother who risked her life to rush into the fire. She escaped, but my mother—"
Mi Shan took a deep breath, her eyes already brimming with tears, unable to speak any further. She clenched her fists and coldly stood up.
"So much time has passed since this happened, I have nothing more to say to you! I only ask one thing: don't mention my mother in front of me again!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding the bond of raising you!"
After saying that, he suddenly got up and left.
Mi Fen and Qiao stood there, stunned.
Mi Xiuyan's eyes were filled with anger, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at them and cursed.
"You...how dare you! How many things are you hiding from me?!"
"Master, no, Fen'er was still young then..."
Mi Shan walked away.
The sound gradually faded away...
Before my eyes, the raging fire seemed to reappear.
She couldn't understand why her mother saved Mi Fen, and why she didn't let her be burned to death!
He even paid the ultimate price to save her!
In that fire, what exactly happened in the final moments that prevented my mother from escaping?
"My lord!"
As Mi Shan's figure approached from afar, her face became clearer.
Xun'er excitedly went to greet her.
"Xun'er greets Your Highness!"
Mi Shan was startled, then came to her senses, her blank eyes regaining their clarity.
"Xun'er, you've always worked so hard for me. I want to take you with me to the palace. Would you be willing?"
Xun'er nodded vigorously.
"Yes! Of course I'm willing! Being with you, Miss, is Xun'er's greatest wish!"
"You've been with me all these years. After entering the palace, you're the only person I can trust."
"Xun'er understands, and will be absolutely loyal to Miss!"
Tears welled up in Xun'er's eyes.
The master and servant entered the house hand in hand.
-
In the lobby.
Enraged, Mi Xiuyan locked the mother and daughter in solitary confinement.
Although he grieved for Mei Niang
But many years have passed since the incident.
This punishment is already the most severe possible.
Upon returning to the private room, Mi Fen angrily smashed the tea set on the floor.
"Mi Shan, how dare she!"
"What's there to be afraid of! Once Mi Shan gained power, he naturally stopped fearing you and me! So he exposed this matter! It's your fault for not listening to your mother and insisting on choosing Zhang Jianyue!"
Upon hearing Zhang Jianyue's name, Mi Fen's expression softened.
Yes...
Zhang Lang, she still has Zhang Lang!
She doesn't regret it!
“Mother, Mi Shan is only temporarily proud. Once she enters the palace, she will suffer a lot!”
I made the right choice; Jian Yue is the best husband for me.
His best days are yet to come!
As for the emperor…
Mi Fen's beautiful eyes darkened, and a cold smile curled at the corners of her lips.
"It's uncertain how long he'll live!"
"Shut up! If someone hears this, it's a capital offense!"
Qiao Fangyue quickly covered her mouth, looking left and right in fear.
"Mother, what I said is true. Mi Shan's promotion to the rank of Jieyu must have already aroused jealousy."
Next, the instructor will come to teach her the rules for entering the palace.
That old woman is a servant of the Imperial Noble Consort.
Bian Lingru is notoriously jealous...
It's easy to imagine that whether Mi Shan can successfully enter the palace is still an unknown!
How did you find out?
Qiao was puzzled.
"Just believe what your daughter says."
In her previous life, Mi Fen suffered greatly in the days leading up to her entry into the palace.
Her being bestowed the title of Beauty had already aroused the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Noble Consort, who deliberately arranged for people to make things difficult for her.
Not to mention Mi Shan, that illegitimate daughter who is unworthy of her position!
Given the Imperial Noble Consort's temperament, she would definitely take her life!
-
Half an hour later.
The instructor sent by the palace arrived.
She was a kind and gentle old woman with a friendly smile.
Mi Fen had someone inquire about it.
Indeed, she is Lin Qin, a favorite of the Imperial Concubine!
lobby.
"Granny Lin, this way please. The young mistress is staying in the west wing. She cannot move around freely these two days, nor can she leave the backyard. I'll have to trouble Granny Lin with everything."
"You're too kind. I will do my best to teach and serve you well."
"I'm smiling," said Granny Lin, her eyes almost squinting into two slits.
At the same time, Mi Fen also saw her eerie, aged face in the distance.
Her outward kindness was all an act!
In the palace, Granny Lin was nicknamed the Smiling Tiger.
Back then, Mi Fen only made one mistake, and her ruler came down on her.
He even physically punished her by making her practice the gesture of bowing repeatedly, no less than a hundred times!
By the time it was time to eat, Mi Fen's hands were too weak to hold the chopsticks.
Fortunately... she doesn't have to suffer like this in this life.
It's Mi Shan's turn to suffer this hardship!
