The night was as cold as water.
Su Ruoxi wore a tight black suit that embraced the perfect curves of her body. In the darkness, she moved like an agile cat, and her destination was Prince Su's mansion…
Baby Su was not back when she came out from the realm, hence, she decided to scout the Prince's mansion. She followed the route in her memory, and soon, Su Ruoxi managed to sneak into the Prince's mansion…
Prince Su's mansion
Su Yunqi and the Emperor of the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix, Su Yuntian, were brothers. Su Yunqi's Father and Su Yuntian's Father were also good brothers. Hence, for Su Yunqi's generation, he had the best relationship with the Emperor, Su Yuntian.
The two biggest family clans in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix were the imperial family, the Su's, and the Empress Dowager's family, the Feng's…
The Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix only had two Princes, one of whom was the old aged Su Yunqi. Ever since Prince Su's son, Su Zhe, went missing, he put all his effort into helping govern the kingdom. Rather than saying that he was working hard for the kingdom, it would be better to say that he was trying to numb his pain of losing his son…
However, the other young Prince, Feng Che, was the complete opposite. He was part of the Feng family and was the only heir. He was granted the Prince title from birth. He had abnormal talent and strong capabilities, but he was not interested in politics! He was unpredictable and could not be easily found, which gave the Empress Dowager a headache, but she still doted on him…
Elder Prince Su, Su Yunqi, had three wives, but only the First Madam, Shen Fei, gave birth to a son, Su Zhe, and a daughter, Su Shan…
His son, Su Zhe, went missing many years ago after he sent his young daughter, Su Ruoxi, back! The second-year Su Zhe went missing, Su Shan suddenly chose to cultivate in seclusion till today…
The Second Madam of elder Prince Su, Lin Yue, who was the Prime Minister's sister, gave birth to two daughters. They were Ruoxi's eldest sister, Su Ruoqi, and second sister, Su Ruolin.
Both of them were also the most loved ones in Su's mansion. Not only did the sky display auspicious signs when these two daughters were born, but both of them also had incredible talents too.
The Second Miss, Su Ruolin, even possessed the rare fire nature Mystique Energy. Five years ago, she was given the exception and taken in as the disciple of the Elder of Heavenly Phoenix City's Alchemy Clan, which glorified the name of Su's mansion…
Su Ruoqi, the Eldest Miss, also had shocking talent in cultivating and was further given the title of being the prettiest woman in Heavenly Phoenix! She was also engaged to the Second Prince, Su Nan, since she was young. After the marriage, she would become the Second Prince's Wife!
The Third Madam, Bai Yu, was originally a prostitute. She was taken in as a Madam after Prince Su made Bai Yu pregnant and redeemed her. Bai Yu was a gentle woman who preferred quiet environments. She gave birth to a daughter named Su Ruoqing…
Su Ruoqing, the youngest daughter of Prince Su, had a defined and pretty face, looking very much similar to Prince Su. Furthermore, she was very talented as well—she was a rare triple nature cultivator. She was the little prodigy in the Prince's mansion, and Su Yunqi doted on her! However, they had no influence in the Prince's mansion, and with their background, Su Ruoqing and her mother were often looked down on…
Four years ago, the First Madam, who was ill for a long time, suddenly fell more ill and was bedridden. All the affairs of the Prince's mansion were passed to Second Madam, Lin Yue, to be taken care of! Furthermore, since Prince Su was committed to politics and barely questioned the affairs in the Prince's mansion…
The Prince's mansion was considered the territory of Second Madam and her two daughters…
Two years ago, the Third Madam, Bai Yu, was poisoned to death without a reason, and her daughter, Su Ruoqing, was also turned from a prodigy into a good-for-nothing as she was not treated in time after getting poisoned! Ever since then, the Prince, who originally adored Su Ruoqing, gradually distanced himself from her. He even listened to Lin Yue and asked her to move into the yard of the First Madam, Shen Fei, who had yet to recover…
The news of Su Ruoqing turning into a good-for-nothing was covered up by the Second Madam quietly. It was only known to herself, the Prince, and a few trusted ones…
The news of the First Madam, Shen Fei, falling very ill was also not known to others. Prince Su would bring the Second Madam along with him to every event. He would only answer unwillingly that the First Madam was not feeling well and was resting at home if someone asked…
Prince Su did not have much feelings for Shen Fei. The marriage was bestowed by the Emperor only because The Best Manor's Madam had some ties with the Empress Dowager, and Shen Fei was the eldest miss of The Best Manor…
Therefore, Su Yunqi did not have strong feelings for Shen Fei. Su Yunqi was even annoyed by Shen Fei as the woman he wanted to marry since the start was the Second Madam, Lin Yue. However, because of the marriage bestowed by the Emperor, Lin Yue could only settle as his second wife… If it wasn't that she gave birth to a son and daughter for him, he would have been more distanced with Shen Fei! Hence, his wives were all known as Madams and did not have a difference of title…
Since the news that the Third Miss, Su Ruoxi, was a good-for-nothing was known by everyone in the Kingdom of the Heavenly Phoenix, the news of Shen Fei and Su Ruoqing was covered up by Second Madam Lin Yue…
Even Su Yunqi was hidden in the dark. He always thought that Shen Fei was simply not feeling well and was resting in the yard…
Su Ruoxi took advantage of the dark and went straight to the abandoned yard of the original owner according to her memory. After the original owner was tested and confirmed to be a good-for-nothing, she was often bullied by the two sisters…
She was also forcefully fed a lot of failed and unwanted pills that Su Ruolin made, causing the original owner to go crazy and was further disliked by the others…
Several memories of Su Ruoxi being bullied surfaced and replayed in her mind as she looked at the old, shabby, and small yard…
Su Ruoxi's gaze turned increasingly cold. "Su Ruoqi, Su Ruolin, very well! Whatever both of you did to me in the past, I will return them to you one by one! Wait for me…"
Just as Su Ruoxi was about to turn and leave, she suddenly heard a noise. Su Ruoxi frowned and hid in the dark. Not long after, an old lady supported by her granny handmaiden walked into the small yard…
"Madam, you are thinking of Miss Ruoxi again!" Her granny handmaiden spoke as she supported the old lady to sit onto the stone chair in the small yard…
"Qiao Gu, if my body was not so weak, they would not have been able to harm Xi-er! The whereabouts of Zhe-er is not known until now. I don't even know if he is alive or not. Xi-er was his only child, and yet I was unable to protect her well!" The old lady teared up and lowered her head as she spoke.
"Madam, I believe that the Young Master will be blessed by the Heavens! Second Madam is in charge of everything in the Prince's mansion, and the Prince does not question anything in the mansion! When we knew about it, Xi-er was already… Madam, you must take care of your body. Or else, when Young Master returns and you are gone, he would be upset!" Qiao Gu comforted the old lady.
"Qiao Gu, I know the poison in my body! The reason she kept me alive is because of my father's power and influence, and she wants to watch me suffer like this! I miss Zhe-er and Xi-er…" The old lady teared up profusely as she spoke.
The old lady coughed…
"Madam, are you okay? Quickly take this pill!" Qiao Gu was alarmed and immediately took out a pill for the old lady to consume.
