Chapter 8 - Turmoil at the Manor

Next day Lory hear the uproar from the main courtyard, the servant runs out from the main courtyard in a hurry some peek behind the wall with a curious look, don't they know 'Curiosity killed the cat' phrase? Oh well without television and Net (Internet) these people are hunger for entertainment.

Suddenly someone grasps her hand "Sister Luo, the prime minister wanted to kill first Miss!" Ci ci eyes bulged widely from shocked.

Lory frowned, this is not the first time she heard a Father wanted to killed or disowned their child even though they have a lot of children bust still, is it normal to kill your own offspring just like that.

"Why...."Lory asking with perplexed looks.

"It's because the first miss stole 'Red Dew Flower' pill," Cici said with enthusiastically

"What dew…..?" Lory baffled, he kills his daughter for a DEW?! huh, that's new…..

"Not Dew…" Cici corrected "Red Dew flower pill, it's fifth-grade pill it's Master treasured, they said if you reach Master level with this pill you can jump to King level immediately but for someone who got bad constitution like first miss it can cure her and made her able to cultivated"

Lory still confuses "So...it's a good thing, what is he mad about….?"

"Sssttt…..it's a treasure pill how could Master give it to an unwanted kid like the first miss and last night Master just breakthrough to Master level he wanted to use the pill to raise his cultivation but now the pill is gone you can't imagine how furious Master is"

She still not get the way people thought in this world "So why not buy that 'Dew' pill again?" Lory crosses her arms in front of her chest she feels she still needs a lot to learn about this world common sense.

"Where else they can buy that kinda pill, very few alchemists could make this pill and alchemist is really rare in this country especially the one who can make that kinda pill and even if Master could find them the pill is very very expensive, that's why it's become treasure" Ci ci sigh, maybe this time first miss is really gonna die.

But Lory still not get it why parent reluctant to sacrifice menial thing for his own flesh and blood daughter, what a crazy selfish man he is no wonder all his offspring a bit demented one way or another even Lao Min Na is a bit crazy in her own ways. That's why is better not get involved in this situation, Lory turns around to leave she rather doing her job scrubbing the floor rather involved with this.

"Everyone gathers at the main hall!!" suddenly the housekeeper Mu Han shouted loudly and stunned everyone. Lory can only sigh she don't feel good about it but she can only follow the other maids to the main hall, Girsha watched her from the tree he also feel it's not a good sign, Girsha called her used telepathic connection [Lory I don't feel good about it….]

Lory sigh [Yeah, me too…..]

They arrived at the main hall, the elders sit in the right middle of the room while on the left side Prime Minister Lao and his wife Yang Wei Lan, they look really angry. Lao Min Na stands in the middle of the room with cold and indifferent faces while concubines and other daughters and Sons are sitting on the left and right their eyes brimming with an expectation of good show.

Meanwhile, all the servants standing on the corner with their face look down to avoid any attention to them, they knew if the Master need scapegoat they would choose one of them easily.

Fortunately, Lory body is small enough to hide behind other servant but clear enough to watch the situation without anyone noticing, Prime minister Lao force her to kneel and confess that she had stolen the 'pill' even though there is no solid proof.

"You wretched daughter confess your crime right now!!" Prime Minister points his finger at Lao Min Na, his face flustered and his hand shaking from holding his anger.

"Husband don't be like this, it's not good for your health" Yang Wei Lan stroke his arms lovingly

"Hump, Like mother like Daughter ..."Old madam harrumph with disdain

Lao Min Na face remains placid "I will never admit doing something I never have done," she said calmly "And what proof do you have to accused me do such things, is there even any witness who saw me stealing from the treasury room?"

"...…." Everyone silent, of course, no one saw it this allegation is lead by Lao Fei Yan and Yang Wei Lan. Lory couldn't have guessed how they lead The Prime Minister, just said nonchalantly how health his first daughter lately or imply something similar with that word and the anger prime minister suspicion would raise automatically. The Prime minister probably smart man but he underestimated the heart of scorn woman.

"How could be any witness the guard had been killed, somebody must be killed them to cover the trace!!" Yang Wei Lan's word seems righteous but she glances at Lao Min Na with accusation.

"It's you, you must be killed them!!" The prime minister yells at her again.

Lao Min Na sneered "You think a weak woman like me who barely knew how to cultivated and martial arts could kill your two best guards if that so...then maybe we really do have some problem here….."

Prime Minister Lao Face turns from white to red, she's rights Lao Min Na body is always weak that's why she could never cultivate one other reason why he hates his useless daughter, but if not her then who is it? Is it someone from outside but except the dead guard no one saw someone in or out and that impossible this place surround by guards and the hidden guard there's no way someone could enter his manor without alert, anyone.

Meanwhile Yang Wei Lan gritted her teeth impatiently, this is the right time to get rid Lao Min Na once for all she hated Lao Min Na very much the more she grew older the more she looks like her mother, she hated that woman she's more beautiful and talented than her and once upon a time prime minister Lao is head over heels with that woman.

Lao Min Na had the same eyes the same mouth she even look more beautiful than her mother only her demeanor is like night and day with her Mother.

While everyone contemplating, suddenly the housekeeper enters the room with an anxious face he whispers to prime minister ear and his eyes bulge almost fall from his socket, he takes a deep breath then calmed himself "Tell them to enter right away" he said with a nervous voice.

"Husband, what's wrong?" Yang Wei Lan rarely see him nervous like this

He makes a slight cough then he said calmly "The Prince's is coming...…."
