Heavenly Divine Doctor: Abandoned Concubine Chapter 131 - Big Girl (1)

Chapter 131 – Big Girl (1)

Ye Zhen was relieved to receive the admission notice from the Women’s College. She knew that seeking retribution from those who wronged her and her family was a tough plight and the notice in her hands only served as her first step.

Now, she was no more than an adopted daughter of a newly anointed imperial secretary, thus she must make things possible for herself.

Her object of revenge was Lu Lingzhi and the current w.a.n.g Fei Lu Wushuang. As for Mo Rongzhan … she could only deal with him when she is fully fledged. Talking about revenge against him at her current power or the lack thereof, she is undoubtedly a mere egg against a stone.

The Lu household prepared for Ye Zhen’s trip to the academy and Pei s.h.i.+ was happy to pack the things she wants her daughter to take to the college.

As everyone was busy, Lu Xiangzhi also kept Ye Zhen and his mother busy by chatting with them relentlessly.

At this moment, he relays to them how Princess Liu Hua surrendered Ye Zhen’s silvers.

“Originally, she refused to acknowledge the doc.u.ments but later, when Brother Tang came in my defense, Princess Liu Hu’s face turned green! I don’t think she would dare show her face in the capital for a long time.” Lu Xiangzhi sn.i.g.g.e.red.

“Why was Tang Zhen there?” Ye Zhen asked at the mention of the young man.

“Brother Tang, who made his bet too, also came to fetch his silvers! Ah, I was really lucky.”

Thinking back to her impoliteness in front of Tang Zhen before, she obscurely avoided talking about him by veering the topic. “Did the little prince also go today?”

“No, I heard that Princess Chang went into the palace early in the morning to find the Dowager Empress. The little prince Mo Rongyi was then detained in the palace by Her Highness.” Lu Xiangzhi said, reaching for the silvers laid on the nearby table.

“Her daughter had started a gamble and was defeated. Princess Chang should not go to the palace and cry in front of the Dowager Empress. This—” He ran his fingertips on the silvers.

“—is what my sister has won.”

When Pei s.h.i.+ heard this, she gazed disapprovingly at her daughter and son “You two little tyrants, you have offended the princess thoroughly by asking for those silvers. You…! I will talk to your father about this later!”

Giving a sheepish smile towards his mother, Lu Xiangzhi spoke again but with a little nervousness this time.

“If she is offended, then let her be offended…Why did she start a gamble in the first place if she is a person who can’t accept defeat?”

Being a protective mother, Pei s.h.i.+ naturally believed that her children were wrong in doing so as she was worried that fostering hostility with the princess would bring them trouble. Not only that, but the w.a.n.g Fei Lu could also be put in jeopardy amidst all of these.

“I heard that the princess is quite popular with the Dowager Empress. We cannot bring trouble to your sister w.a.n.g Fei..” Pei s.h.i.+ warned them.

When it comes to Lu Wushuang, Ye Zhen seemed to wither and lost her cheer.

“Mother, does the w.a.n.g Fei have any nickname when she was a child?” Lu Xiangzhi asked out of the blue.

In return, Pei s.h.i.+ frowned and shook her head “**Shuang’er’s nickname? I remember calling her Big girl… ”

**T/N: Adding “er” in Chinese names signifies endearment, mostly for a family member.

“What?!” Lu Xiangzhi laughed, “I never knew the w.a.n.g Fei has such a nickname!”

Carefully controlling the tone of her voice in such a way that she wouldn’t sound so perturbed about his sudden question, Ye Zhen calmly asked him.

“Why is my brother asking about this?”

“Yesterday, I heard my eldest brother ask my second brother of this. I don’t remember that the n.o.ble concubine has a nickname.” Lu Xiangzhi answered, completely ignorant of what was going on inside his sister’s head.

Lu Lingzhi has asked for a reason, Ye Zhen surmised to herself. She recalled that Mo Rongzhan once asked her in the woods if she knew another person named Yao Yao. He must have suspected that Lu Wushuang was not the one who saved him!

Lu Wushuang’s nickname could not be Yao Yao, because she already had a cousin named the same, so Mo Rongzhan must now believe that the woman he chose to keep was not the one who saved him.

So why still let Lu Wushuang be his n.o.ble concubine? Ye Zhen frowned, thinking that she had witnessed a lot when her soul was trapped in the imperial palace for two years…Aside from being transmigrated to the body of a twin sister she never met, she returned back in time, just a few days before she died…

In the memories of her as a roaming ghost inside the cold walls of the imperial palace, she speculated that the Jin country was then in a period of superficial calm and actual turmoil. She remembered that in the first year of her soul’s entrapment, she often saw Mo Rongzhan in the imperial study discussing countermeasures with his ministers.

It seems that there were many wars in Jin country at this time.

Ye Zhen sneered mockingly in her heart. She knew that Mo Rongzhan was a very powerful person. He would turn Jin country into a prosperous nation sooner or later, but she felt rather sour envisioning this idea.

Didn’t her father and second brother help him? How can he repay kindness with cruelty? His father paid painstaking efforts to his usurpation.

When she has the chance in the future, Ye Zhen wanted to certainly take back all the things he owes her family.
