Lin Wan'er served the old lady breakfast carefully and politely.

The old lady glanced at her and said, "Don't have any evil thoughts. If Zhan'er loses a hair, Xiao Yunxi will pull Lu Ze and Lu Yuan bald!

Consider your own status. Let alone being the legitimate daughter of a marquis, even if you are a princess in the palace, how many of them are more noble than Xiao Yunxi?"

Lin Wan'er quickly put down her chopsticks and knelt on the ground, "Don't worry, old lady, I don't have that much courage!"

"Haha, you may not be very courageous, but you are very cunning," the old lady said with a sarcastic smile, "Don't commit suicide, or you will have no future. Go back and pack your things."

After Lin Wan'er left, Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Madam, do you really believe her?"

The old lady wiped her mouth and said, "I believe her intentions are pure, she just wants to kill Lu Zhan."

"Are you still...?"

"She is just an outsider. If she has the ability to kill Lu Zhan, I will help her and save her life. In this way, the Wu'an Marquisate will owe us a favor. If she does not have the ability to kill Lu Zhan, I will hand her over to Xiao Yunxi for punishment. It does not matter whether she is cut into pieces or sold as a military prostitute. At least, I can sell the Ningguo Marquisate a good daughter. Even if the Wu'an Marquisate is resentful in the future, they will only resent the Ningguo Marquisate and Xiao Yunxi. What does it have to do with me?

No matter how you look at it, the Zhennan Palace will not suffer any loss, but both sides will benefit."

After hearing what the old lady said, Nanny Li felt a chill all over her body.

She had been the old lady's personal maid since she was ten years old. For decades, this was the first time she discovered that her master was such a vicious and cruel person...

In the past, the prince's concubines and illegitimate children either took advantage of their favor and became arrogant, or challenged the principal wife, and their death was not a pity.

But what did Lu Zhan do wrong? He was just an eight-year-old child, and he was going to die innocently.

Will there be a day in the future when I will be killed by the old lady?

"Go and watch Lin Wan'er packing her things. Help her keep an eye on her so she doesn't reveal anything."

Nanny Li lowered her head with a sad look on her face, took two steps back and went to find Lin Wan'er.

He watched her pack a few clothes and then sent her to the second gate, waiting to set off with Lu Zhan, Lu Ze and the others.

Before leaving, Nanny Li hesitated for a moment and gently reminded her, "Madam Lin, think twice before you act. Otherwise, not only will you lose your life, but Master Ze and Miss Yuan will also suffer the same fate."

Lin Wan'er smiled gently, "Don't worry, Madam. I will never forget the old lady's warning and will behave myself."

Looking at the carriage going further and further away, Nanny Li felt very uneasy. She could only hope that Master Zhan would be lucky and everything would go well.

Huguo Temple.

"Princess, Chang Sheng sent a message that Lin Wan'er went to the Zhennan Palace's nunnery with Lu Ze, Lu Yuan and Master Zhan."

Xiao Yunxi didn't even raise her head, and continued to kneel on the futon to copy the scriptures. "Well, it's expected."

"However, she seems to have no sharp weapons except for a few clothes. She is a lowly concubine, so she should not have come into contact with any poison."

Xiao Yunxi put down her pen and said, "You don't necessarily need a knife to kill someone, and you don't necessarily need poison. Send someone to keep a close eye on them, to make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Yes."

"Yunxi, here I come!"

Hearing Mu Yunqing's voice, Xiao Yunxi smiled and stood up and walked out, "Sister Yun."

"Good girl! You seem to be rounder now." Mu Yunqing stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Yunxi's face. "Your skin is more delicate, which shows that you are living a very happy life."

Xiao Yunxi didn't hide, and smiled very obediently, "Then Sister Yun, please don't bully me in the next few days."

Mu Yunqing smiled and glared at her, "It depends on your performance!"

The two of them walked into the room arm in arm and chatted for a long time.

Life in the nunnery was hard. After two days, Lu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. Lu Ze was also enduring it. Only Lu Zhan still insisted on copying scriptures for four or five hours every day.

"Lu Zhan, you've already been copying for two hours. You should take a break. There's no old lady's spies here, so there's no need to act like this!"

After arriving at the nunnery, Lu Yuan changed his cautious demeanor in Prince Zhennan's Mansion and became much more arrogant.

Lu Zhan raised his head and looked at her coldly, "You are disrespectful to your brother, you should be punished!"

"What? You still want to hit me!"

Lu Zhan put down his pen and walked over.

Seeing that he was serious, Lu Yuan was really scared and quickly hid behind Lu Ze, "Brother, he wants to hit me!"

Lu Ze looked at Lu Zhan expressionlessly, "This is not the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, it's not your turn to discipline my sister!"

"Tsk," Lu Zhan sneered, "This is the family temple of the Zhennan Palace. I am my father's eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Zhennan Palace! It is reasonable and legal to discipline my disrespectful half-brother and half-sister!

I know you are not convinced, but what can I do?

The noble families in the capital would find ways to send their legitimate children to the Xiao clan school. Originally, you were also legitimate sons and daughters, and you could have a princess mother and a princess grandmother like me, and go to the Xiao clan school every day to study and become brothers with the children of other nobles.

But who made your biological mother reluctant to let you go and try every means to take you back to her side to be her lowly bastards?

Not to mention now, even in the future, you will have to rely on me. Even if you want to take part in the scientific examination, you must get my consent.

As for you, Lu Yuan, I have the final say on what kind of family you will marry into in the future. How about a blind, lame, and violent old man?"

Lu Zhan looked at them, smiled faintly, and continued: "Now you stay in the palace every day, and you still can't feel the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. When you enter the Lu family school, you will know how low your status is and how bad your biological mother's reputation is.

Haha, you can only blame your good mother who always thinks of you. "

Lu Yuan was so scared that tears came out, "You are talking nonsense! Father will not let anyone bully us."

"Father? Has he shown any preference to you since my mother left the palace? He hates you, that's more like it."

Lu Ze pursed his lips and said nothing.

Because he knew that what Lu Zhan said was true.

Originally, Xiao Yunxi treated them the same as Lu Zhan, but she slowly let go of them because of her biological mother's repeated provocations, even... on the day of the old lady's birthday banquet...

Thinking of that day, a hint of doubt flashed in Lu Ze's eyes... Although his mother was not smart, she was not a stupid person. How could she choose to poison Xiao Yunxi so blatantly that day and let him guess it?

If he hadn't rushed over to stop his mother that day, wouldn't he have to break that layer of paper? Even if Xiao Yunxi didn't like him, he could still continue to be a legitimate son? !

Could it be that the person my mother wanted to plot against that day was not Xiao Yunxi, but me? !

"Lu Zhan, stop talking nonsense here!"

Lin Wan'er rushed in and immediately stood in front of Lu Ze.

She looked at Lu Zhan coldly, "Who do you think you are? You are just a dog raised by Xiao Yunxi. Ze'er and Yuan'er are Third Master's biological children. Is it your turn to teach them a lesson?!"

Changrong, Changsheng and several maids hurried into the room and stood behind Lu Zhan.
