"everyone leave" the woman commanded. Immediately the group of servant dispersed, the woman rushed to her bedside and held her hands lovingly "hui er, you have always been sensible even if you don't want to, you have to marry the emperor for the sake of our clan"
'is here a misunderstanding here' Yanhui thought, 'the former soul obviously wanted to marry the emperor ' she was now confused. As far as she could remember Yanhui was the most talented and beautiful woman in the capital with an oval face framing slanted eyes, a button nose and plumb pink lips, she was groomed from a young age to be empress. Though Yanhui was quiet and handled things sternly and the excessive attention showered on her made her arrogant and domineering, no one could deny she was smart and talented. Yanhui been looking forward to her marriage to the emperor to be the second most powerful person in the kingdo, why now is this woman saying something else?.
Searching through her memories, Yanhui realized the woman was her mother, the legitimate wife of the prime minister, who controlled the estate sternly but occasionally obliged her only daughter, Bai Jingting from the Bai family of Imperial doctors. "Greetings mother" she saluted as per etiquette " no need, you're still unwell" Her mother replied gently. I heard from xiao xiao that you're unwell, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother, Yanhui said holding her mother's hand, I won't marry!"
"Hahahaha, have I been too kind to you that you think you have a say?" Her mother suddenly withdraw her hands, glaring fiercely at her "Do you know how long we've being waiting for this to happen, that foolish emperor keeps avoiding the marriage and finally we got him to agree and what!? What!? my daughter suddenly changed her mind, 'someone! " she called standing up sternly " lock her in and make sure she gets ready for her marriage tomorrow., if she not, she hissed; you'll will pay with your lives" flanking her sleeves she left.
" What just happened " Yanhui was shocked and terrified, confused as how a gentle, caring mother suddenly became hostile. " What have I gotten myself into, this is a family of psychopaths!" Yanhui got up to escape the room but it was locked, even the windows were barred. Sitting down in defeat, she decided to go through her memories to better understand the situation, going through her memories, she found out her dog prime minister father, Yan has one wife and four concubines , her mother being his legitimate wife who holds full control over the household and concubines. There were seven children in the estate with 3 being her mother's; she was the eldest legitimate miss and has 2 older brothers. The other 4 are illegitimate Misses of the 4 concubines. " I better not mess with my mother, she's scheming, very scheming!" she shudders in fear. She lives in Lotus pavilion, the best pavilion in the estate and loved by her parents and two older brothers but it seems something was off with her mother attitude today, Digging deeper, she found something interesting.
