Chapter 17
Early the next morning, the Wanxiang Pavilion became lively.

"Where's mother? I want to see mother." Lin Yiyao lay on the bed, beating the bed board with both hands.

Yesterday, Mother Qiu who was beside the old lady took away Amber, but she didn't take it seriously.Unexpectedly, her mother did not come to visit him this morning, so she realized that something must have happened to her mother.

Yesterday's mother came to tell her during lunch that she had to wait for her good news, but there was no movement today, so that bitch Lin Xi must have killed her.

"A group of lowly maidservants are still silent! Are you really waiting for me to sell you all?!"

"The great lady, the great lady was locked up by the old lady." Chen Xiang, the personal maid, knelt on the ground and replied.

"How come?" Lin Yiyao's knuckles turned white.

"Yesterday, Zhenren Yan identified Da Furen and said that Da Furen ordered him to slander Second Miss for restraining Si Yiniang's child. He also said that it was Da Furen's plan to go to the temple to worship Buddha." Chen Xiang finished in one breath, His forehead was on the ground and he dared not look up.

Isn't Yan Zhenren from his mother?How could he personally identify his mother?Does he not want to live? !
"Take me to see my mother." Lin Yiyao struggled to get up.

"Miss, the old lady has an order that no one is allowed to visit the lady!" Chen Xiang reminded.

"I can't do it clearly, won't you secretly take me to see you? A group of things that can't get on the stage, what use are you for!" Lin Yiyao pointed at the servant who was kneeling on the ground and began to curse.

The eldest lady has been the housekeeper for many years, and she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anyang. She has a son and a daughter for the Lin family. Even if she is locked up, no one dares to neglect her.

The woman guarding the courtyard gate heard that it was the eldest lady who came to visit, so she didn't dare to stop her, but told her not to stay for a long time.In case the old lady knows, they are not good at dealing with business.

When Lin Yiyao saw the eldest lady, she was still sitting in front of the dressing table as usual, being dressed by Haitang.

"Mother, mother, woo woo woo," Lin Yiyao couldn't help crying.

"Okay! I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?" The lady closed her eyes and scolded annoyedly.

"It's all that bitch Lin Xi! Why isn't she going to die! Ever since she returned home, we haven't had a good day!" Lin Yiyao cursed resentfully.

Da furen didn't feel resentful, she suppressed the anger in her heart, and told her worriedly: "Lin Xi is a wicked girl, please don't argue with her for the time being while I'm in confinement."

"Mother wants me to be my daughter-in-law, to tolerate her as a concubine!" Lin Yiyao asked, frowning.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess. With your grandfather's family, you and your brother, mother will be fine. The most important thing is your marriage." The lady said.

"Marriage? Why did the mother mention her daughter's marriage?"

"Two days ago, your father accidentally mentioned that the Prince Regent intends to choose a concubine. You must behave well then. As long as you can be selected, the old lady will definitely let me out. After all, the Shangshufu still wants to be famous." The eldest lady is determined to win .

"But what if the regent doesn't like me?" Lin Yiyao said shyly with a red face.

Although the regent is cruel and ruthless, he has an outstanding appearance and holds great power.It is enviable to be able to tame such a man.

"Your father is very optimistic about you. Among all the officials, only Yao Yurou, the prime minister's daughter, can compete with you. When you become the regent princess, it will not be easy to crush Lin Xi to death? Why rush for a while." The eldest lady said persuasively.

The eldest lady understands her daughter, she is impulsive and ignorant.Afraid that she would do something stupid during her confinement period, she persuaded her patiently.

"The mother is right, the daughter understands."

Lin Yiyao happily walked out of the Chenxi Courtyard, and the moment she returned to the Wanxiang Pavilion, a servant girl came to report: "Miss, Miss Yao is here."

Lin Yiyao frowned, Yao Yurou is now the biggest obstacle for her to become the regent princess, what is her purpose of coming here at this time?

But the person has already arrived, so she couldn't push her out, so she ordered as usual: "Please come in."

Yao Yurou stepped into the room, saw Lin Yiyao laying on the bed, stepped forward and asked concerned: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so hurt?"

Speaking of this matter, Lin Yiyao's face immediately turned cold and said: "It's not Lin Xi's fault!"

Yao Yurou was puzzled and said, "Madam, let her bully you like this?"

"Of course my mother refused, but in the end Lin Xi beat her up, saying that my mother harmed her. I don't know what tricks she used, but even that Yan Zhenren helped her speak, saying that the old lady left home seven years ago was planned by her mother.

Grandmother is now in a fit of anger and directly puts mother in confinement. "Lin Yiyao said while observing Yao Yurou's expression.

"I didn't expect your second sister to be so skillful."

The last time Yao Yurou met Lin Xi for the first time, she suffered a loss at her hands, and she has always been brooding in her heart.Originally, she thought that Lin Xi would not be able to win favor in her hands with Da Furen's means.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Lin Yiyao was seriously injured in bed, and even the eldest lady was put in confinement, so it seems that she was underestimated before!

"Yes, my mother is pinning all her hopes on me now." Lin Yiyao sighed.

"You?" Yao Yurou was a little puzzled.

She knows Lin Yiyao's virtues, and so does the Da Furen.How could you place all your hopes on her.

"That's right, Sister Yao has heard about the regent princess selection banquet in a few days, right? My mother said that as long as I become the regent princess, my grandmother will definitely let her out. So sister Yao, don't compete with me, okay?" Lin Yiyao had tears in her eyes. , looking straight at Yao Yurou.

The corners of Yao Yurou's mouth froze when she heard the words. She also came to inquire about Lin Yiyao's thoughts today, but she didn't expect her to strike first, which made it difficult for her to speak.

It's impossible to give up. She's eighteen this year, but she can't afford it anymore.Before, he always thought about the princes ascending the throne. With her reputation, being a queen is more than enough.

Unexpectedly, the crown princess had already been secretly established, but his father had no choice but to take the risk and assist King Rong to force the palace.Unexpectedly, King Rong was so useless, but a six-year-old child was finally enthroned, and all her plans fell through.

She, Yao Yurou, is conceited of talent and learning, with outstanding looks, only the most honorable man in the world can match her.She couldn't fail again at the regent's concubine selection banquet.

"Why doesn't Elder Sister Yao talk?" Seeing her expression, Lin Yiyao's heart sank, and she couldn't help urging.

"How could I rob you, put your heart in your stomach."

Yao Yurou nodded her head with her hand, her tone of sneer and resentment, her face full of helplessness.It was as if she never wanted to compete with Lin Yiyao for the position of Princess Regent.

Lin Yiyao let go of her heavy heart slowly, smiled happily, hugged Yao Yurou's arm and said coquettishly, "I knew sister Yao was the best for me."

"However, are you really going to let Lin Xi go so easily?" Yao Yurou asked with a concerned expression as she looked at her injuries.
