Ambition Bloat

âYou dare! Iâm the madam, and my daughter is the county lord! You dare to kill us?â Su Xinlan said, hands on her hips, looking arrogant.
âWhatâs to fear? Military orders are authoritative. One must not act recklessly in front of the princeâs mansion. We have Your Highnessâs orders. Those who cause trouble can be executed first, with the report to follow!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
His gleaming blade shimmered under the moonlight, sending chills down the spine from a distance.
Su Xinlan couldnât tolerate such a threat. She immediately pulled Ye Zhenzhen into the carriage.
On the way back to Changxin Marquisâs Manor, Su Xinlan still felt a lingering fear. She patted her chest. âI was scared to death! The palace guards of this princeâs mansion are too terrifying. They disregarded the face of Changxin Marquisâs Manor and even mentioned acting first and reporting later!â
If they hadnât left earlier, they might have already become corpses!
Su Xinlan sighed secretly. Luckily, they ran fast!
Su Xinlan saw that Ye Zhenzhen hadnât spoken for a long time. She covered the back of her hand with her palm and said with concern, âMy daughter, are you scared silly? Whatâs going on?â
âMother, weâve been played by Su Yingxue!â Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth with half of her face buried in the shadows.
âSu Yingxue knew we were waiting for Your Highness, but she deliberately delayed Your Highnessâs time. Itâs fine if she didnât let Your Highness see us, but these people must have been ordered by her to chase us away! That insidious and vicious woman, after obtaining Your Highnessâs imperial seal as a betrothal gift, became arrogant. How dare she not put you, her aunt, and me, her cousin, in her eyes!â
Ye Zhenzhen kicked the wall of the carriage angrily, her eyes red.
âSo itâs Su Yingxue!â Su Xinlan exclaimed. âStrangely, Your Highness doesnât want to see us, but he doesnât drive us away either. Itâs that little b*tch Su Yingxue whoâs deliberately messing with us. She even made us go a day without food or water!â
Su Xinlan slapped her thigh in anger. She had seduced Marquis Changxin and had been living a life of luxury. She had never been hungry before. Today, she was exhausted and starving.
Clutching her growling stomach, she sighed heavily. âDaughter, we canât go back to the Ninth Princeâs Mansion. With Su Yingxue around, not only will you not see Your Highness, but youâll also be in danger of losing your head!â
The palace guards of the Ninth Princeâs Mansion could act first and report later. They wouldnât even give a face to Marquis Changxin!
They couldnât gamble with their lives!
âBut Iâm not willing! Mother, Iâm also grandfatherâs granddaughter and the county lord. That Su Yingxue isnât even the village head, so why can she marry the Ninth Prince and I canât even be a secondary consort!â
Ye Zhenzhenâs ambition grew even more after witnessing the power and wealth of the Ninth Princeâs Mansion.
Su Xinlan was unwilling to accept this, but she had been warned and taught a lesson by Su Yingxue several times. Today, even a palace guard from the Ninth Princeâs Mansion almost killed her.
She thought about it and said, âZhenzhen, actually the Prime Ministerâs Estate is also very powerful. You see, even the emperor canât decide for the Ninth Prince, but the Ninth Prince has always been polite to the old Prime Minister. The Prime Ministerâs son is handsome, and he was elected at a young age. He is now a sixth rank official in the Imperial Academy. With the Prime Ministerâs support, he will also be an extremely powerful official in the future. Why donât you forget about the Ninth Prince?â
âSo what?â Ye Zhenzhen threw Su Xinlanâs hand away with a look of disdain. âHow could he compare to the Ninth Prince? Or can he kill his way into the palace and snatch the emperorâs imperial seal to give me as a betrothal gift, making me a woman more noble than the empress? Compared to the Ninth Prince, the son of the Prime Minister and a sixth-rank official is just trash!â
