Nanny Li looked at her and said, "Because the young lady has grown up."
"I told you all this not because I wanted you to avenge my wife. After all, my wife only wishes you a peaceful and happy life."
Xu Lingyi raised her face slightly, with a hint of moisture on it.
"Mammy, I can avenge my mother, so why not? I have already imprisoned my grandmother and tortured her every day. As for the princess, Mammy, you only need to wait a day or two to see what happens to her."
Xu Lingyi has no impression of her mother. She doesn't remember what her mother looks like, let alone what kind of person she is. She was too young when her mother died.
She once asked Xu's father whether the princess was her biological mother?
When she was a child, the princess concealed her behavior very well in front of her. She was young and did not notice any malicious intentions, so she liked the princess very much.
"Yier, she is not your mother."
Father Xu's tone was serious.
He picked her up and took her to look at her mother's portrait: "This is your mother, Yi'er, you must remember her, she is the one who gave birth to you."
Her mother gave her a life and was thinking of her until she was killed.
As a daughter, Xu Lingyi would never be able to rest in peace in her life if she could not avenge her mother.
So for the sake of her previous life and her mother, she would not let the princess and the others go.
Xu Lingyi went to see Xu's father again.
"Yier."
The moment he saw Xu Lingyi, the smile on Xu's father's face deepened.
When she learned that her father was not involved in harming her mother, Xu Lingyi admitted that she felt relieved.
It is extremely painful to hate your closest relatives.
Her only relative left was her father. Even her closest relative had harmed her mother.
Xu Lingyi found it hard to imagine and even harder to accept.
But she still had deep resentment towards her father.
"Father, when did you and the princess meet?" Xu Lingyi stared at her father, wanting to get his answer.
"My daughter met Madam Li today."
Father Xu frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
"You know everything?"
Father Xu's voice was hoarse.
"My daughter knows everything. I know that my grandmother and the princess are my mother's murderers. My father hasn't answered me yet. When did you and the princess get together?"
Xu Lingyi pressed the issue.
Father Xu was silent. He didn't dare to look up, let alone look directly into Xu Lingyi's eyes.
"Before your mother passed away, there was a period of time when your mother and I often had conflicts because of your grandmother. It just so happened that at that time, the princess repeatedly showed her kindness and expressed her feelings to me."
"Until one banquet, my wine was drugged, and I had sex with the princess."
"Although that medicine has aphrodisiac effects, father..."
If he had tried his best to resist and push the princess away... perhaps he could have pushed her away at that time.
It's just that he couldn't control his desires and was driven by the effects of the drugs.
This is the thing he regrets most in his life.
Since he had physical contact with the princess, it was impossible for him not to give her an explanation.
At first, he only wanted to marry the princess as his concubine, and later live in another courtyard with his wife.
But he had only received an order from the late emperor to go out and suppress bandits, and when he came back, Xu Lingyi's mother had already passed away.
At that moment he already had a guess in his mind.
Later, when Nanny Li returned to Beijing, he finally confirmed his guess.
"Yier, it's all your father's fault."
Xu Lingyi stared deeply at Xu's father.
"Father knew that it was Grandmother and the princess who killed Mother, but after all these years, he has never had the slightest thought of avenging Mother?"
"I've thought about it." Father Xu nodded, tears welling in his eyes. "But your grandmother gave birth to me. I... can't do it, and I can't go against moral principles."
He hated the old lady for more than ten years and was tormented by hatred for more than ten years.
Now he has made up his mind to deal with the old lady because she attacked Xu Lingyi.
His daughter is his own blood. He has loved her for more than ten years and raised her with great difficulty.
He lost his wife and couldn't accept losing his daughter again.
"What about the princess?" Xu Lingyi asked again.
Father Xu was silent.
"Because she's a princess and represents the imperial power, father doesn't dare to harm her?"
Xu's father agreed.
"But father, in my opinion, there's no such thing as dare or not, only desire or not. You just don't love mother enough."
"If the princess kills me today, father will act like he did to mother, acting like a coward and not daring to avenge me, right?"
Father Xu's expression changed, and he shook his head firmly, "No, the princess wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you. For so many years, she...she knows that you are her father's Achilles' heel."
"Father underestimates the princess. How can you guarantee that?"
"Your father will take you to the frontier and keep you by his side."
"But what if she really attacks her daughter?"
Xu Lingyi stared into Xu's father's eyes, she stubbornly wanted an answer.
Father Xu was silent for a long time, and finally spoke seriously, "If she really dares to do this, I will kill her with my own hands. Even if I lose my life, I will avenge you."
Xu Lingyi looked at her father deeply, feeling mixed emotions.
"What my father once dared not do, I will do as a daughter. I will personally avenge my mother."
Xu Lingyi didn't care how Xu's father reacted.
She directly called the hidden guards.
"Let His Majesty issue an order. You know the reason."
Xu Lingyi took out the whip from her waist and said, "The rest of you will come with me to the Princess Courtyard."
When Xu Lingyi arrived, the princess was writing a letter to her son who was in the academy, telling him to study hard and not to return to Beijing in the near future.
"My lady, this is the princess's residence. How dare you break in without permission?"
The princess's servants were frightened by Xu Lingyi's gloomy look and hurriedly stopped her.
