Wan Ge naturally had her mother sign as well. Seeing that her husband had signed, the Prime Minister's wife did not hesitate.
After receiving the letter severing ties with her husband, Wan Ge left immediately, planning to enter the palace in a couple of days.
Just as they were leaving the dining hall, they heard Lu Yunchan say, "Sister is so scary. Has she gone mad? She actually dares to cut someone just because she says so."
A young man's voice followed: "Why did Father stop her? Let her cut if she wants to."
"Nonsense! How could she enter the palace if she had a physical disability? We brought her back precisely so she could replace Chan'er in the palace. If she can't enter the palace, what's the point of having her?"
"I see. Father is so thoughtful. Thank you, Father. You are the best."
After Lu Yunchan finished speaking, a man's and a woman's voices rang out in unison: "Isn't brother/mother good enough?"
Wan Ge walked down the street without feeling sad; in fact, she was happy because they had signed the separation agreement.
When they signed the agreement, Wan Ge already felt the approval of Heaven, so blood ties could no longer bind her. Once the red thread was settled, she could go back to the mountain to cultivate properly.
Wan Ge felt no guilt towards them whatsoever, because if it weren't for her master, she would have died long ago, she would have been reborn long ago, and she would have returned her life to them long ago.
The reason he was so determined to cut off his own arm was simply to make them sign a letter severing ties with him.
They are practitioners, so even if they cannot regenerate a severed arm, it is not difficult for them to put the arm back on.
However, her current ability is already enough to regenerate severed arms, but if she wants to go further, she still needs to sever kinship to cultivate.
Now that her kinship is severed, once she has overcome her emotional tribulation, she can return to her cultivation and advance to a higher level. No one can stop her from making further progress.
…
With only one day left before she was to enter the palace, the people in the Prime Minister's residence seemed afraid that she would escape, so they kept people on watch.
Wan Ge didn't care and continued as before, except that she took out a bag of gold leaves and gave it to the maid who had been taking care of her.
“I’ll give you a list. Distribute the gold leaves to them to redeem them. Tell them that the Prime Minister’s mansion is likely to face a great calamity. Those who are willing to leave can go, and those who are not can leave. Take my advice, you should leave as soon as possible.”
The maid looked at Wan Ge in front of her, her eyes reddening, and asked, "But you're going to the palace, don't you need a maid to accompany you?"
"No need. Once you enter the palace, it will be even harder for you to leave."
"But what if Miss enters the palace and has no one she can trust? This servant is willing to follow Miss forever."
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself. I don't need servants, and I may not stay in the palace for long. You should just go home."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, Miss. Thank you, Miss." The maid kowtowed to Wan Ge again.
Wan Ge accepted, after all, she had done her a favor, and if she kowtowed to repay the debt, that would be the end of it. If things went well, she would save Wan Ge from trouble and she could also earn some merit.
The maid wiped away her tears and prepared to look at the names on the list. She didn't know why she trusted the second young lady from the bottom of her heart.
She always felt that the second young lady had an extraordinary temperament and was not an ordinary person.
…
On the day she entered the palace, Wan Ge dressed in brocade robes and sat in a sedan chair, where she was carried into the palace.
When the emperor was still a prince, he was not favored, and he did not care about marriage. He himself seemed to have no interest in it, so there was no princess consort before. Later, during the three years of national mourning, there was no selection of consorts. Now they are the first batch of candidates for the imperial concubines, and also the first batch of consorts for the current emperor.
The emperor will definitely select some noble ladies from various prominent families to weigh the pros and cons. As the daughter of the prime minister, she was already on the list of candidates. Now, she is just going through the motions by being with them.
…
When Wan Ge arrived, quite a few people had already arrived and hadn't gotten out of their sedan chairs yet, but thanks to her extraordinary hearing, she could clearly hear what they were saying.
"I heard that the person at the Prime Minister's residence today is his second daughter, who has been recuperating from an illness."
"What kind of recuperation? I heard it was because his birth chart was unlucky, so he was sent to a country village."
"Huh? Is that so? Wasn't it said that she was pampered by her maternal grandfather?"
"It's all fake. He was just sent to the countryside. Now he's a peasant from the countryside, and he's qualified to stand with us."
Having overheard their conversation and perhaps dissatisfied with their words, another woman spoke up: "Do you ladies feel pampered at home? But you are all sisters who have entered the palace, so it's best to behave yourselves."
What she really wanted to say was that they were all pawns sent to the palace, and all were victims of the tyrant's sword. What difference was there between them?
…
But at that moment, Wan Ge lifted the sedan curtain, revealing a delicate and beautiful face to everyone. Upon seeing this, everyone gasped.
So this is the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion who has been recuperating from an illness? How can she be so beautiful!
"Sister Lu, you're so beautiful! You're so gorgeous!"
Wan Ge simply nodded with a faint smile, showing little reaction to the person who had spoken to her.
Although she had never been down the mountain since she could remember, she was curious about everything down there, but she was really not interested in people. This was because both her master and her fellow disciples told her that people down there were complicated, and since she was a cultivator, it would be better if she had too many emotional connections with the people down there, so as to avoid being sad and heartbroken in the future.
So when Wan Ge came down the mountain, she never thought about making friends or anything like that. Besides, according to the storybook, these people in front of her were all her rivals in love.
