Chapter 439: The Royal Dai Family and the Noble Zhu Family

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

In the Xingluo royal family, competition among princes is extremely cruel.

Regardless of life or death, no matter the method, brothers fighting each other, the more talented the princes are, the more intense the competition is!
Only the final winner can obtain the right to inherit the throne, and all the losing princes will have only one fate in the end, that is death!!

It was precisely because of the cruelty of the Xingluo royal family that the daughters of the Zhu family, who had been married to the Xingluo royal family for generations, also began to engage in brutal competition and fratricide like the princes.

In the Zhu family, there is almost no family affection!

The sons of the Zhu family are fine, but once the daughter marries the prince of the Dai family, she and her fiancé will unite as one to eliminate the sisters who compete with her!

Zhu Zhuqing is the daughter of the Zhu family, a noble family of the Xingluo Empire. She is the fourth child in the family and has two older sisters and an older brother, as well as two younger sisters and a younger brother.

Because of the Zhu family's martial spirits, their daughters have been married to the sons of the Xingluo royal family, the Dai family, for generations.

Zhu Zhuqing's elder sister Zhu Zhuyun is married to the eldest prince of the Dai family, Davis, while Zhu Zhuqing has been engaged to the third prince of the Dai family, Dai Mubai, since childhood.

At the beginning, there was a fierce competition between the eldest prince Davis and the second prince Dai Wenbin, but unfortunately Dai Wenbin was defeated and died tragically, and Davis turned his attention to the third prince Dai Mubai.

Therefore, Zhu Zhuyun, who was married to Davis, also began to target Zhu Zhuqing, who had been engaged to Dai Mubai since childhood!

……

On the way here, because Xin Ya was pregnant, the carriage they were riding in moved relatively slowly.

After twenty days of journey, the two carriages finally arrived at Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

At this time, they were waiting at the entrance of the city gate for inspection by the city defense soldiers.

Zhu Zhuqing stuck her head out of the carriage and looked around, as if she was looking for something.

Suddenly, a female voice came from the city gate and called out to her: "Fourth sister... Fourth sister..."

"Three sisters!"

Hearing the call, Zhu Zhuqing immediately looked in the direction where the voice came from.

When she saw her third sister, she instantly waved her left hand happily.

"Third sister, come up quickly!"

Zhu Zhuyan ran to the carriage happily.

After getting on the carriage, she excitedly hugged Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Fourth sister, you are finally back. My fifth sister and I missed you so much."

"Fifth sister went to the academy. She wanted to ask for leave to pick you up today, but she has been a little slack in her studies recently, so I won't give her the leave."

"You know, we were all so worried that you would be killed by your elder sister on the way to the Tiandou Empire..."

At this time, Zhu Zhuyan's voice was choked and she could no longer speak!
Zhu Zhuqing patted her on the back and said, "Zhu Zhuyun did chase me all the way, but I escaped and now I'm fine! Don't worry, Third Sister!"

Zhu Zhuyan sighed and said, "How can I not be worried! Now that you are back, you have to face a life-and-death competition again."

"When you are away, Big Sister can kill you secretly. When you come back, she can still kill you legitimately in the competition!"

"In fact, I would rather you stay in the Tiandou Empire. At least you are still alive!"

At this time, Xin Ya, who was leaning against the car window looking at the scenery, said, "Staying in Tiandou forever is just a short escape."

"After Davis kills all the other princes, he will eventually turn his attention to Dai Mubai. By then, our Zhuqing will be engaged to Dai Mubai, so how could Zhu Zhuyun let Zhuqing go?"

"So instead of passively accepting it, it is better to take the initiative and seize the initiative first!"

Zhu Zhuyan looked at Xin Ya who was speaking.

The little girl has silver hair and although she looks cute, she inexplicably gives people a domineering aura that cannot be refused!

Zhu Zhuyan asked Zhu Zhuqing: "Fourth sister, who is this?"

Zhu Zhuqing introduced: "Third sister, they are all my friends. The one who just spoke is Xin Ya, one of my good sisters, and she was also the captain of the Blue Tyrant Academy team when I participated in the elite competition."

"The one next to Xiaoya is Sister Xiaoai, this is Ning Rongrong, and this is the dean of our Lanba Academy, Liu Erlong. The five people in the other carriage are also my friends. I will introduce them to you later."

Zhu Zhuyan stood up and bowed slightly to the four people: "Hello, my name is Zhu Zhuyan, and I am Zhuqing's third sister."

"My fourth sister has been aloof since she was young. It is her great honor to meet you. Thank you for helping my fourth sister so much!"

Xin Ya smiled and said, "Sister Yan, you don't have to be so polite. Zhu Xiaoqing is our good sister, so you are naturally our sister as well. By the way, Sister Yan, is Dai Mubai back?" Zhu Zhuyan sat down again and said, "The Third Prince came back last month. He also asked about Fourth Sister's return, but Fourth Sister had written to tell me before, so I didn't tell him."

Xinya nodded.

At this time, it was the turn of their two carriages to be inspected by the Xingluo City defense soldiers at the city gate.

Zhu Zhuyan leaned out of the window and took out the token of the Zhu family's Duke's Mansion and said, "I am the third daughter of the Zhu family. The people in these two carriages are all my friends. You just need to register them. There is no need to check anything else!"

When the captain of the city defense troops saw the Duke's Mansion token, he immediately said respectfully, "I am honored to meet you, Miss Third. Please wait a moment, we will do the basic registration right away."

Zhu Zhuyan nodded.

The captain of the city defense force simply recorded the number of carriages and the number of people and then let them pass.

Afterwards, the carriage slowly drove into the city gate and headed towards the Duke's mansion of the Zhu family.

After half an hour.

Two carriages stopped in front of the gate of the Zhu family's Duke's Mansion, and everyone got off.

Zhu Zhuqing introduced the five people from Tailong who were sitting in another carriage to her third sister, and everyone nodded and greeted each other.

At this time, the two guards saw that it was their two young ladies who had returned, and they immediately opened the door and nodded slightly respectfully, saying, "Your subordinates greet the Third and Fourth Young Ladies."

Zhu Zhuyan asked, "Is my father home?"

One of the guards replied, "Yes."

Zhu Zhuyan turned around and said to Xin Ya and the others enthusiastically, "Everyone, please come in."

After she finished speaking, she walked in front, leading the group towards the Duke's Palace.

Just as the group walked out of the front hall door, Zhu family steward Zhu Rui happened to come in from the backyard.

He looked at the group of people behind the Third Miss, then looked at the Fourth Miss who had returned after disappearing for a long time, then he returned to the backyard without making a sound and walked quickly towards the Duke's room.

In the front hall.

Zhu Zhuyan said to the two maids standing in the front hall, "You two go serve tea and inform my father that a distinguished guest has arrived."

When the maid was about to leave, Zhu Zhuqing instructed, "A glass of boiled water is required for the tea served later."

"Yes, ladies."

The two maids took the order and left.

Fifteen minutes later.

Just as the tea was served, two men and one woman walked into the front hall.

The man walking in front is the head of the Zhu family, Duke of the Netherworld Zhu Hongliang, and walking beside him is his third wife Zhen An.

Zhu Hongliang was conferred the title at the age of eighteen, got married at the age of twenty, and now at the age of forty-five, he has married three wives in total.

Zhu Zhuyun and the second young master Zhu Shi were born to his first wife, and Zhu Zhuyan, Zhu Zhuqing and the fifth young lady Zhu Zhuman were born to his second wife.

The Sixth Miss and the youngest son, the Seventh Master, were born to his third wife, Zhen An.

Following behind the two was Zhu family’s steward Zhu Rui.

At this time, Zhu Hongliang said nothing, and even walked to the middle seat at the top with a cold expression and sat down.

Zhen An followed closely behind him and sat on the other side.

Zhu Zhuyan gave her fourth sister a wink.

Zhu Zhuqing said: "Father, my daughter is back!"

Zhu Hongliang ignored him and just picked up the cup on the table next to him and drank tea.

Zhen An, who was standing by, said with a half-smile: "Zhu Qing, I didn't expect you were still alive!"

"Since you had already secretly escaped, you could have just lived in the Tiandou Empire. Why are you coming back now? Are you looking for death?"
