Suddenly, Yun Qianqian spoke.

She still had some lingering fears. "Back then, I tricked Yun Chaomu to Phoenix Mountain... Mother, the person I originally arranged did not succeed. It is said that someone intercepted him. Do you think it could be that man..."

As Yun Qianqian finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

"None of us knows who the man who took away Yun Chaomu's virginity is. He didn't dare to show up back then, but now, four years have passed, he dares to show up? What's more, the person who assassinated you was a woman, and you also said that she knew that you killed Yun Chaomu in the dark prison. If it was really that man, how did he know the truth in the dark prison?

What's more, he took away the innocence of the then Prime Minister Yun's daughter, Princess Zhuanhan. If this matter were to be exposed, he would be the first to lose his head. It would be better for him to hide and save his life, but would he dare to show up? It wouldn't be him."

"Who is that?"

Yun Qianqian anxiously dropped her hands to the bed, which hurt her wound and made her cry in pain.

"Qian'er, why are you panicking? You need to stay calm now. The prince will definitely know about your injury and assassination, and he will come soon. Don't scare yourself and reveal your flaws.

Besides, the masked woman had the opportunity to kill you today, but why didn't she kill you? It was because she couldn't let you die. Her purpose was to clear Yun Chaomu's name and to expose your conspiracy, but she had no evidence!

This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know it. As long as you don't admit it, then Yun Chaomu's death has nothing to do with you. Even if this masked woman told Xiao Zhan the truth, so what? Don't admit it, just say you were wronged. Who do you think Xiao Zhan will believe?"

Xu Xianglian's face was calm.

"Men are the most proud. Xiao Zhan will believe you, but he will not believe the cruel truth without evidence. Can he accept that he has wronged Yun Chaomu? Qian'er, listen to mother. Don't panic. Mother is here for everything. Mother will not let anything happen to you."

Xu Xianglian spoke, she reached out and gently touched Yun Qianqian's head, her eyes full of pity. She only had this one daughter in her life, and she only lived for this daughter.

As Xu Xianglian finished her words, Yun Qianqian gradually calmed down.

Yes, she can't panic. What is there for her to panic about?

There is absolutely no evidence for what happened back then. Although I don’t know how the masked woman knew about it, she has no evidence. If she had evidence, it would have been revealed long ago. Why would she wait until now?

Thinking about this, I finally felt less frightened.

"Mom, what should I do now?"

Yun Qianqian asked.

"Hold on. Didn't Wu Da and Wu Er go after the female assassin? If they catch her, we'll wipe her out. If not, she'll definitely come looking for us again. As long as she wants to seek justice for Yun Chaomu, we'll have a chance to catch her and see who she is, and then..."

He hadn't finished his words, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"Mom...thanks to you, otherwise Qian'er wouldn't know what to do, wuwuwu..."

Yun Qianqian lay in Xu Xianglian's arms and cried loudly.

Xu Xianglian patted her back lovingly, and looked at her bandaged arms and chin with a cold look in her eyes. She must find out who that person was, and no one could hurt her child.

Don't say she is cruel. She was once innocent and beautiful, but time has taken its toll on her and fate has played tricks on her.

Thinking of those years, her eyes were dim...

Originally, she and Yun Hongzhi were neighbors and childhood sweethearts. Hongzhi's family was poor. He lost his father when he was young and had only a blind mother. How could they afford to buy him pens, ink, paper and inkstone? It was her family that helped him, and she sewed embroidery, helped people wash clothes, and used the little money she earned to support him to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.

Yun Hongzhi did not let her down. They got engaged, and then he went to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, and was away for three years.

During these three years, his mother died of illness and she and her family buried her.

But later...

Xu Xianglian closed her eyes and felt heartbroken when she thought of the past. She had waited for three years. Many villagers gossiped that Yun Hongzhi had become a high-ranking official and no longer wanted her. But she didn't believe it. She didn't believe that Hongzhi was such a heartless person. So she resolutely went to Beijing with her baggage on her back, but what did she wait for?

He married someone else!

At that moment, her head was spinning, her heart was filled with despair and overwhelming hatred.

She thought of ten thousand ways to take revenge on him.

But when he hugged himself and cried, he said that he had to do everything out of necessity. He said that he had won the top three places in the imperial examination and was the number one scholar chosen by the emperor in the Golden Palace. He was very famous for a while. But later, because he was poor and had no money to bribe people, he encountered obstacles everywhere. People who were not as good as him at that time were promoted to higher positions, but he was drowned among many small officials.

Now his new wife's family is in business, which can help her career go more smoothly, but he does not love the woman named Xue Yuan.

He said that she was the only one in his heart and begged her to stay with him.

Looking at Yun Hongzhi crying, she was shaken and heartbroken. She knew better than anyone how difficult it was for this man, so she stayed and became the girl who was accidentally rescued by him, and then took him as his concubine.

She sent someone to bring her parents from her hometown to the capital, intending to find a house to settle them down so that they could enjoy a peaceful life. However, she did not expect that her parents would be furious when they learned that she had become a concubine. They felt ashamed and broke off relations with her. They also cursed Yun Hongzhi for being ungrateful and left in anger. However, they met horse thieves on the way and both died tragically.

Can she not hate it?

Extremely hateful.

But she only had Yun Hongzhi left, so what could she do with hatred? She could only hold on to him tightly.

However, as a concubine, she was inferior to others in every way, especially when she saw the respect and courtesy that Xue Yuan, the wife, received, she felt even more resentful. This resentment and hatred reached its peak after she learned that she was pregnant.

She wanted Xue Yuan to die.

Xue Yuan had a strong temper and was already unhappy with Yun Hongzhi for marrying her. The two of them gradually grew estranged, and she took advantage of this to show weakness and gentleness to Yun Hongzhi everywhere, like a flower that could speak, or even more like a dodder, to completely tie Yun Hongzhi's heart to hers...

Then he used some tricks to make Yun Hongzhi misunderstand how Xue Yuan bullied him in private, and then hinted that if it weren't for Xue Yuan...

Later, Xue Yuan suffered from physical injuries due to difficult childbirth and died a few years later.

But she knew very well how she died, and it was closely related to Yun Hongzhi.

Originally, she thought that after Xue Yuan died, she would be promoted to the principal wife, especially since she was pregnant. However, Yun Hongzhi thought that it would have a bad influence and was afraid of being reported by his colleagues, so he asked her to be patient... and she endured for more than ten years.

Watching Xue Yuan's daughter grow up day by day and become a legitimate daughter, while her own daughter could only become a concubine's daughter, the hatred hidden in her heart became heavier day by day. She had also hinted in front of Yun Hongzhi that she disliked Yun Chaomu and wanted Qian'er to become a legitimate daughter, but Yun Hongzhi refused because Yun Chaomu was outstanding enough and even had a close relationship with Prince Han Xiao Zhan. Later, their relationship became better and better, and she had already been designated as the Princess of Prince Han.

Ha ha ha ha...

At this point, she finally understood that Yun Hongzhi loved her, but he loved herself and power more.

Because of Yun Chaomu's excellence, he saw the benefits that this eldest daughter could bring to him.

Seeing her daughter depressed every day, living under the shadow of Yun Chaomu, especially her Qian'er also fell in love with Prince Han.

She could not forget the day when her child cried in her arms, asking one question after another, "Mother, why am I not a legitimate daughter? Why can't I marry Prince Han? If only I didn't have a sister..."

It was also that time that she completely decided to kill and planned everything in Phoenix Mountain!
