The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 268 My father is so biased!

The Imperial Guards took action. Regardless of whether the fainting was real or feigned, a beating turned a feigned fainting into a real one.

First, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from the Lu residence, frightening away all the onlookers who had come to watch the commotion. The sound was so shrill that it sent chills down one's spine.

···
"Wow!"

A beautiful vase was thrown out and fell to the ground, where it was smashed into pieces. Then a set of glass teacups also shattered into pieces.

"Why is it that a peasant girl is made a princess by the Emperor! Why?!"

"And that annoying Lu Shuxue, she's just Lu Lingyun's lackey, why did Father Emperor also make her a princess!"

"I'm so angry! My father is so biased!"

Then came the sound of porcelain clattering to the ground. Several palace maids and eunuchs at the palace gate trembled with fear, not daring to breathe, for fear of being called by the mad Princess Lu Yunshi inside and dragged in to be beaten.

Ever since the second princess learned about this, she has become much more gloomy, and the palace maids and eunuchs dare not approach her at all.

The smashing of things was a minor matter. A second-class maid who was supposed to be serving Princess Lu Shiyun had her eyes gouged out by the enraged princess with a hairpin after hearing the news at the morning court session. The maid's miserable state terrified all the other maids and eunuchs.

"Where are you all! Get in here!" This was the third time Lu Shiyun had gone berserk and smashed things today. She was upset and couldn't find an outlet for her anger, so she could only vent by smashing things.

"What are you yelling about! Aren't you ashamed?" Consort De kicked open the tightly closed door. When she heard her daughter throwing a tantrum in the palace, she didn't want to get involved. She thought it was just a venting of anger, that breaking a few things was no big deal, as she could afford to break things.

But there should be a limit, right? It's been dropped three times already. Does it really think these things are free?
She knew that there were many eyes watching her in the palace. She wasn't the only concubine with children. If her rivals found something to use against her and whispered in the emperor's ear, she might not even get the emperor's favor, let alone a high position.

"Snapped!"

Consort De slapped Lu Shiyun across the face, leaving a red and swollen handprint on her fair and pretty face.

Lu Shiyun covered her slapped face, looking at Consort De with resentment. She felt extremely upset. Her father was biased, and her mother was biased too. Why couldn't they look at her more?
"What's wrong? Weren't you very angry? Weren't you quite the talker? Why are you silent now!"

"You should know that your father doesn't only have one daughter, you. He has five daughters who are already adults. You think your father is biased towards Lu Lingyun? Haha! If it were me, I would also be biased towards her."

"It's very likely that she will be the future empress of Beixu Kingdom. What do you think you have to compete with her for her position?"

"Look at yourself, what do you have that's worth mentioning? Do you know what's most important for you right now? It's to please your father, the Emperor, so you can attend the grand court assembly in Beixu!"

"Instead of throwing things around in a fit of impotent rage!" Consort De looked at her daughter, who was quite beautiful, and was furious at her lack of ambition. She only knew how to get caught up in trivial matters and had no broad vision. How could she, a woman of her wisdom, have given birth to such a fool!

Lu Shiyun's eyes widened in shock. What did her mother mean? What did she mean by saying that the future empress of Beixu Kingdom might be that little bitch Lu Lingyun? When did this happen? How come she didn't know!
"Mother! Please help me, what should I do now?" Lu Shiyun's fighting spirit was completely ignited, and she knelt down directly before Consort De. If that little bitch Lu Lingyun became Empress of Beixu, she would never be able to compare to her in her entire life.

"The Marquis of Beixu Xiaoyao came to Dayue this time with the intention of establishing a marriage alliance. The person he has his eye on is Lu Lingyun!"

"A banquet will be held tomorrow night, and Mother hopes you can fight for yourself!"

"Son! Everyone has their own strengths. Playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses is the smartest thing to do. Don't always focus on other people's strengths and compare them to your own weaknesses, understand?"

"Think about it carefully! Remember to apply an ice pack to your face!"

Consort De reached out and touched Lu Shiyun's head, then helped her up before leaving with her maids.

Lu Shiyun glanced at Consort De's retreating figure, tears welling up in her eyes. She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

At this moment, the Qiao family was so noisy that Qiao Guanjie and Shao Yiling wanted to grab brooms to chase them away. Ever since Sheng Wanqiu and Qiao Wenyuan returned from the palace, the eight boys plus their own two, a total of ten people, had started jumping around and making so much noise that the roof of the Qiao family was about to be blown off.

The reason was that Sheng Wanqiu had said she would take them to the Beixu Grand Court Assembly. Those who could go were naturally happy, while those who couldn't started throwing tantrums. Even though Qiao Wenyuan was sitting on the side, it didn't affect the few who couldn't go from using their trump cards.

"Auntie, please take us with you! You can take my eldest brother and second brother, why can't you take the four of us too!" Sanjiang was the first to hug Sheng Wanqiu's leg.

"Yes! Auntie, I've never been on a long trip before! Waaah! Please take me with you!" San Yu also hugged Sheng Wanqiu's other leg!

Looking at her two nephews who were two years older than her, Sheng Wanqiu felt helpless. Was it too much of a show for her to take care of so many people by herself?
"Auntie, we can dress up as your guards, we will definitely protect you!" Xiao Yu stared at Sheng Wanqiu with wide eyes, blinking her big eyes like a little puppy wagging its tail.

"If all else fails, I can dress you up as a girl. I can be your maid, Auntie, okay?" Xiao Jiang pulled out all the stops. As long as he could go, dressing up as a girl wasn't out of the question. His mother had dressed him up as a girl many times when he was little, so he wasn't afraid. He just wanted to go.

Sheng Wanqiu nearly spat out the tea she had just drunk. Good heavens! This kid even thought of that! She's got a good brain!
"Okay! Okay!"

"Auntie! Please!"

"If you don't take me, I'll really cry my eyes out!"

"Auntie, please, please! Waaah!"

Then one of them started shaking Sheng Wanqiu's legs, and the other followed suit. However, the two of them were not on the same wavelength, so one of Sheng Wanqiu's legs swung from left to right and the other from right to left. If they swung faster, Sheng Wanqiu felt that she could slap Qiao Yuchen, who was sitting opposite her covering his mouth and snickering, so hard that he would catch a cold!
"Okay, okay! Let's go together, everyone go, alright?"
