"So that's why. I was wondering why they would take me back when they were perfectly fine. That's the reason."
"Of course, otherwise, what right would you have to return to the Prime Minister's residence if you were the only one who can bring me down?"
Wan Ge glanced at her again and replied, "Since it's so dangerous, it seems I'll have to ask for more things."
"You! Can't you understand what I'm saying?" At this point, she's still asking for more. Is she so desperate for wealth that she's gone mad?
"I understand. Since you are going to your death in place of me, please prepare a dowry for me. That way, my kindness in saving your life will not be in vain."
"You...you really are something else." Lu Yunchan flicked her sleeve and left.
…
"Second Miss, you can't speak to Eldest Miss like that!" the maid whispered.
Why not?
The maidservant replied, "The eldest young lady has great fortune; anyone who displeases her will suffer misfortune. Therefore, no one in the manor dares to offend her, and the Prime Minister and his wife dote on her like a precious jewel."
In addition, many maids deliberately tried to please her, as they could get benefits as long as she was happy.
Of course, there were also people in the manor who disliked her and were jealous of her, but because several people had offended her and suffered terrible consequences, no one dared to provoke her anymore.
The maidservant beside Wan Ge, though not jealous of the other, never sought any advantage from her; she only wanted to take good care of her mistress.
Wan Ge sensed the girl's kindness and responded softly to her words, "Thank you for telling me all this, but I'm not afraid of her."
"Second Miss, why are you not afraid of her...?"
Those who have offended her have all suffered terribly. For example, when shopping, they might get hit on the head by a signboard, or slip and fall into a pond, nearly suffocating to death.
Even those not in these two places, can still fall and get injured while walking around the mansion.
Wan Ge understood what she wanted to ask, so she answered her: "Because I was born to be her nemesis, so what do I have to be afraid of?"
Moreover, Wan Ge sensed that when the other party provoked her, their luck plummeted, but gradually recovered when they left her side.
It seems that master is indeed skilled; I am indeed her nemesis.
Moreover, Wan Ge, who cultivates on the mountain, is well aware that a person with such great fortune must have a kind heart and, even if it doesn't benefit the country and the people, must never harm others.
But today, besides the great fortune she possessed, Lu Yunchan also seemed to be about to suffer misfortune.
However, her good luck has overshadowed it, preventing her from realizing it for the time being.
The Prime Minister's residence treated her too well, and she arrived there too early. Before she could develop a kind heart, she was spoiled by everyone in the residence.
If the other party continues to act recklessly, they will definitely encounter unforeseen changes in the future.
Once the other person is negatively affected by her good fortune, everyone who has been touched by her good luck may suffer misfortune.
Of course, if she helped someone out of kindness and is a good person herself, she might not suffer a backlash.
However, people like the Prime Minister's Mansion, who only want to take advantage of her good fortune, will not have a good ending if Lu Yunchan suffers a backlash.
It's no wonder that Master asked him to go down the mountain on this trip. On one hand, it was to see his parents again, and on the other hand, it was perhaps to make him understand them better.
Hearing this, the maidservant said nothing more.
…
For the next few days, Wan Ge stayed in her own yard.
Aside from the occasional invitation they would invite her to dinner, Wan Ge remained in the courtyard and never mentioned going to the palace to them.
As the time for her to enter the palace drew closer, they began preparing her dowry, seemingly intending to send her directly there, but they made no mention of severing ties with her.
So, on the table two days before entering the palace, Wan Ge kindly reminded him: "Father, I will not enter the palace without signing the letter of severance of kinship. No one can send me in unless I want to."
Even if you manage to get me in, don't think you can just give me an explanation and be done with it. Even if I'm imprisoned, and I die, you'll drag the Prime Minister's mansion down with you."
"You're threatening me!" The Prime Minister slammed his chopsticks on the table.
Wan Ge simply smiled and replied, "I'm just telling the truth."
"What a frank statement! Do you know how difficult it will be for you in the palace after severing ties with your family? Besides, blood ties are not something you can just sever as easily as you say."
"Then what do you want?"
The prime minister sneered: "Do you dare to return blood and bones to your father, or cut off your flesh to return to your mother?"
After saying that, he placed the dagger he was carrying on the table.
Wan Ge glanced at it and thought to herself, "What's there to be afraid of? It's just that the other party's dagger seems too small."
So he looked at the guard beside him and said, "Brother, could you lend me your knife?"
After saying that, he drew the sword from the guard's body, and without hesitation, he picked up the sword and slashed it at his own arm.
Seeing the other person's resolute expression in that instant, the Prime Minister quickly threw the cup at them, shouting as he did so, "Stop!"
"Does Father have any further instructions?"
"I'll sign the severance agreement, and you kowtow to us three times. Then our blood ties will be severed."
Wan Ge knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to them. However, as Wan Ge kowtowed, thunder rumbled in her ears.
It almost struck the Prime Minister and his wife; if they hadn't been Wan Ge's parents, it might have hit them directly.
After kowtowing, Wan Ge took out the letter severing ties with the Prime Minister. This time, the Prime Minister did not refuse and signed his name.
