The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 135. Scheme of Commandery Princess Xianyun

When Heng Yuqing returned to the Lord Guardian's Manor, she met Heng Yuwan, who had just returned from outside.

Heng Yuwan was wearing a light yellow top, which came with a long pink skirt. She was beautiful and was more graceful than Heng Yuqing. Her charming eyes made her look gentle, but her coquettish behavior made people feel that she was somewhat frivolous.

Just like now, when she saw Heng Yuqing coming back, she stood at the door and fanned her face with her handkerchief, looking enchanting. She did not look like the Young Lady of a noble family, the Lord Guardian's Manor, at all.

"Oh, it's my eldest sister? Didn't they say that you have been taking care of your mother in bed and is very filial? Why did you sneak out to play? Is there something fun going on that is so tempting that you even left your mother, who was ill in bed?"

Heng Yuqing did not expect to see Heng Yuwan at the door. When she heard what she said, her face immediately turned pale with anger. What she said was too flippant. She even insinuated that even though she was supposed to be serving her mother, she had in fact, sneaked out. It appeared as if she was involved in some shady affair.

"Heng Yuwan, what are you doing?" she asked coldly, a look of anger on her face.

Seeing that Heng Yuqing was angry, Heng Yuwan became more excited and her eyes widened. "Eldest Sister, what's wrong with you? I was just joking with you. Why are you so angry? Are you looking down on our small manor because you're about to become a consort?"

Her words became even more exaggerated and even seemed somewhat sarcastic. Heng Yuqing was furious, anxious and vexed at the same time. She blushed and said, "What are you talking about? When did our manor become small? And even if it's small, you are not allowed to say that."

She had hit Heng Yuwan's vulnerable spot. It meant that she was not qualified to say the words "our manor" as a concubine's daughter. It irritated Heng Yuwan immediately.

What Heng Yuwan cared most about was her identity. She felt that she was better than Heng Yuqing in all aspects, but people always put Heng Yuqing first, which made her angry. Last time, she wanted to play a trick to ruin Heng Yuqing's reputation and it would be better if Heng Yuqing's mother were to die.

Then, her mother could be promoted to the position of legal wife. The Lord Peace's Manor also said that if that happened, they would promote her mother and make the Lord of the Lord Peace's Manor acknowledge her as an immediate relative. Then, she and her mother would have the support of the Lord Peace's Manor. But now, they were only distant relatives of the Lord Peace's Manor. They were so distant that they could not even take advantage of the power.

If the Lord Peace's Manor recognized her mother and her father were to promote her mother to be the principal wife, there would be no obstacle even if her mother had a bad family background. Meanwhile, she could become the legitimate daughter of the Lord Guardian. However, things had changed. In the end, not only did she not ruin Heng Yuqing's reputation, but she also created trouble for herself. The plan for her mother to become the principal wife of the Lord Guardian's Manor was also ruined.

So what if Heng Yuqing was the Young Lady of Lord Guardian's Manor? In the end, she had to marry into Prince Yi's Manor. Prince Yi was not an easy-going person. It was said that he did not like Commandery Princess Xianyun, who was beautiful and noble. How could he like Heng Yuqing? In Heng Yuwan's mind, if Heng Yuqing married into Prince Yi's Manor, she would only be an abandoned woman.

So what if she was the consort of the royal family? She would also be an abandoned woman. There was still a Cold Palace in the palace. It was said that a woman who had been neglected like this would not have a good ending in Prince Yi's Manor.
