Children of Loulan

Chapter 151 Xilin's Memories 1

At that moment, everything changed. Afterwards, the good sister cried and begged her mother, saying that she had been taken away by her father and could not marry anyone else, so she could only marry into the family with her mother. The mother was kind-hearted and could not bear to refuse, so she agreed to her request.

Later, because her mother was kind and gentle and not good at managing household affairs, she was persuaded by her stepmother to give up her position as the principal wife!

After their marriage, the three of them seemed to have a happy life. The father's love for the mother did not decrease at all, but even more than before. The legal wife was also very good to the mother, so that the mother did not have to worry about anything. She even cared about the family more than the mother did.

Soon after, her mother became pregnant and gave birth to her successfully. From that moment on, the legal wife treated her with great care, as if she were her own daughter. She cared for her even more than her own biological daughter.

The daughter born to the wife was older than her, but she always took care of herself and her mother first, and then dealt with other people's affairs. Then one day, her father suddenly told her that the king was going to choose a concubine.

This made her feel a little surprised and confused. Because according to common sense, it should be the daughter of the legal wife, that is, her elder sister, who should enter the palace. But her father said that her elder sister was not as smart as her, and he was worried that she would make mistakes after entering the palace and bring disaster to the whole family. So he hoped that she could enter the palace instead of her elder sister.

At that time, she was just a young and innocent girl, and her heart was full of gratitude to her family. She felt that the legal wife treated her and her daughter very well, and she and her sister had a very close relationship. So, she agreed to her father's request without hesitation and was willing to enter the palace in place of her sister.

Her stepmother often whispered in her ear that if it weren't for her mother's mercy and tolerance, and if she hadn't agreed to let her enter this family, she would have hanged herself. Whenever she and her mother heard such words, they were always moved and thought that her stepmother was a kind-hearted and grateful person. They never doubted the truth of her stepmother's emotional expression.

Moreover, after she agreed to enter the palace, her stepmother even hired a famous teacher to teach her some methods in the harem and some commonly used tricks in the palace!

These beautiful memories are deeply engraved in her heart and become the most precious treasure in her life. Whenever she thinks of that time, she always feels a warm current in her heart and feels the warmth and happiness of her family.

And all the beauty came to an abrupt end because of that time when she accidentally overheard the drunken talk of Concubine Xian!

That day, after she left Concubine Xian's palace, she found that her jade pendant was missing as soon as she walked out of the palace gate, so she went back to look for it, but when she went in, she found that all the palace people around her were gone, and there were only Concubine Xian and Yumei in Concubine Xian's bedroom, and the two of them had drunk a lot of wine. What surprised her even more was that Concubine Xian actually told a lot of the truth after drinking.

It turns out that Concubine Xian wanted her to enter the palace just to use her womb to give birth to a child with her mother's blood, because the second prince Edirne was not her biological son, and his biological mother was also killed by Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian was afraid that he would turn against her after knowing the truth in the future, so she rushed her to enter the palace and give birth to a prince with her blood!

In this way, Concubine Xian won't worry about whether the Second Prince will know the truth in the future. After all, if he disobeys, she can just kill him. But now Concubine Xian only has this one son, she can't take the risk. In order to prepare for the future, she must have another son!

Not only that, Concubine Xian also promised her father that as long as he sent one of his daughters into the palace, she would let his other daughter marry the second prince and become the second prince's legitimate consort, and possibly the queen in the future!

Xilin, who was hiding in the dark, was stunned when she heard these words. She didn't expect that Concubine Xian was so vicious. Not only did she kill the second prince's biological mother, but she also wanted to use herself to give birth to a son for her. However, what she didn't expect was that her father let her enter the palace without hesitation!

In order to get her sister to marry the second prince and make her the queen in the future, she was deceived into entering the palace. All this made her extremely angry. After thinking carefully, maybe there were many things hidden from her at home. So, she decided to find an opportunity to investigate and see what her father was planning.

After returning to her own palace, she immediately called Xianggui and instructed: "I need you to send someone to investigate what has happened in the family over the years, especially those things that my mother and I don't know."

Xianggui nodded and agreed, saying that she would arrange for someone to investigate as soon as possible. However, while she was waiting for the results of the investigation, a sudden piece of news broke her peace - her mother was seriously ill.

After learning the news, she rushed back home anxiously. Along the way, she kept praying that her mother would be safe, but when she walked into the house, she saw her mother lying on the bed, dying, her face frighteningly pale. She held back her tears, walked quickly to the bedside, and held her mother's hand tightly. However, to her surprise, her mother had lost the ability to speak and could only communicate with her with weak eyes.

Not only that, she also noticed that Aunt Kui was standing by, with an indescribable sadness in her eyes. She felt that Aunt Kui seemed to know something, but it was inconvenient for her to say it. What made her even more alert was that there were people from her stepmother guarding her mother's room, which was obviously abnormal. She began to suspect that her mother's illness was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and perhaps there was a deeper conspiracy behind it.

In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, she stayed by her mother's bedside for two days and two nights without eating or drinking, and finally pretended to be exhausted and fainted. Then Aunt Kui brought her medicine and fed her the medicine, and then she whispered to her the reason why her mother fell ill!

It turned out that the mother accidentally overheard what the father, stepmother and their daughter were discussing.

Concubine Xian wanted to kill herself after giving birth to a son. In order to get her father to agree to give up her daughter, Concubine Xian promised that if the second prince ascended the throne, the stepmother's daughter would definitely become the queen. Not only that, the mother also heard the stepmother admit that she deliberately fell into the water, and then the father rescued her, and then knelt down to beg the mother to agree to let her marry.

In addition, the stepmother also told how she deceived her mother into giving up her position as the principal wife, and how the so-called "favor" over the years was all the result of their acting. There was only one purpose, which was to make her and her enter the palace willingly and pave the way for the stepmother's daughter. What's more, after giving birth to her, her mother has been unable to have children again, and all of this is also the masterpiece of the stepmother!

But when the mother heard all this news, she was shocked. She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes and looked at him in disbelief. Her mouth was slightly open but she couldn't make a sound. She had always been smooth sailing over the years, living a life of luxury and had never seen any storms. She was stunned and didn't know what to do.

It was not until she was discovered by the maidservant beside her stepmother that she remembered that she had forgotten to run away!

So the mother was fed poison on the spot. The stepmother smiled gently, but the words she said were chilling: "Don't worry, I will keep you alive so that your daughter can see with her own eyes that you really died of illness, so that she won't be suspicious!"

After saying that, the stepmother turned to look at the maid beside her and ordered, "Take good care of Madam Ping."
