Chapter 438 Conspiracy
As the engagement banquet at the Duke's Mansion slowly came to an end, the capital returned to peace, but Prince Yu's wife became increasingly uneasy.

Ever since this banquet, she had interacted peacefully with the little princess, and she began to accept her more and more in her heart.

"Such a good girl is my daughter. The little princess's manners and demeanor are exactly the same as mine when I was young."

The Princess of Prince Yu had originally planned to return to Qi after the New Year, but she changed her mind after attending the banquet at the Duke's Mansion. During this period, she had been talking about the young princess every day, and the Princess of Prince Xian had calluses on her ears from listening to her.

"Eldest sister, I'm not trying to throw cold water on you." After hearing too much, Princess Xian couldn't help but speak a few truths: "Although the young princess looks similar to you, she is completely different from you in terms of temperament and the way she handles things. Even when you were young, you were also a fierce and aggressive person, always trying to be stubborn and aggressive in doing things. Tell me, how can you be as gentle as the young princess?"

Princess Yu was very unhappy to be criticized by her own sister, but she couldn't say anything in rebuttal.

After all, she also knew that her sister was telling the truth.

While the two sisters were chatting, Princess Xiang and Huayang were also there. Recently, after careful treatment by the imperial physician, Huayang's madness had improved. When she heard what Princess Xian said, she couldn't help but burst into laughter: "I didn't know my mother could joke."

While joking, he pointed at the Princess of Yu and said, "Aunt, tell us how fierce and powerful you were when you were young."

Princess Yu pulled the corner of her mouth awkwardly: "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense."

Then he said to the Princess of Xian: "Perhaps, our personalities are indeed a little different, but our appearances are similar. Sister, tell me, when we stand together, do we look like mother and daughter?"

Princess Xian glanced at her sister and said to herself, "So, when I stand next to that little princess, we are also similar. In terms of temperament and behavior, we are more like mother and daughter than you."

The unintentional joke made by the Princess of Xian touched Huayang's lungs. She, who was chatting and laughing just a moment ago, immediately turned cold and started yelling at the Princess of Xian.

"Mother, do you dislike me too? You are like Lu Ji, you also think that the orphan girl surnamed Qin is better than me. Are you also going to side with the girl surnamed Qin?"

She cried as she spoke, and acted like a madman, which frightened the maid in the house so much that she came over to comfort her. It was with great difficulty that she calmed down and was coaxed out.

Seeing this, the wife of Prince Xian was also in a state of panic. She stroked her forehead and cried silently. Facing the comfort of the wife of Prince Yu, she waved her hands and said, "If the little princess is really my flesh and blood, I don't care if I don't recognize her. As long as she is well, it's better than anything else. Look at me, even if my own flesh and blood is by my side, it's still a worry."

Seeing her sister sad, Princess Yu couldn't help but sigh: "You and your brother-in-law are both gentle people. God is really cruel. Why did he let you have such a worrying thing?"

"I really doubt whether this child is your biological child."

The Princess of Yu's unintentional words soon reached Zhang's ears.

When she saw Huayang suddenly going crazy again, she went to interrogate the maid who had been following her. When she heard the wife of Prince Xian praising Qin Xiaoning, and heard the wife of Prince Yu expressing doubts about Huayang's background, Zhang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

She immediately sought out her brother and sister-in-law to discuss countermeasures.

Even though she looked down on her brother and sister-in-law, when it came to such confidential matters, the only people she could rely on were her own family.

Ever since the last quarrel with Zhang, Zhang San never came to look for his sister again, but he was not stupid. He knew that this matter was related to his life and property. After listening to Zhang's chatter, he immediately became nervous.

"The princess never goes out. She went to the mansion a while ago at the instigation of the Princess of Yu. I don't know what happened, but the princess has been praising the little princess from time to time since she came back." Before Zhang finished speaking, Sun interrupted and said, "Maybe it's because of the bond between mother and son."

She was halfway through her words when she was blocked by Zhang's vicious look and had to shut her mouth in disappointment.

Seeing this, Zhang seemed to be still not satisfied, and could not help but scold Sun: "If you can't speak, then don't speak. Just be a mute, it will save you trouble."

Sun couldn't help herself and retorted, "I'm telling the truth. They are mother and daughter, and we are related by blood, so it's natural that we like each other more and more."

Seeing that the aunt and sister-in-law had started to quarrel again, Zhang San stopped them with a cold face: "It's already this time, and you still have the heart to quarrel. Do you think the good times are too long? If this matter is exposed, we will all be fucked."

Sun rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "At worst, we can just leave. What's the big deal?"

Zhang San glared at Sun fiercely, then turned to Zhang and said, "Your sister-in-law's words are not without reason. After all, they are mother and daughter. If they have too much contact, it may not be appropriate."

Sun said, "That's right. I'm afraid of this. From what the princess said, it seems that she will have to interact with this little princess often."

She rubbed her hands anxiously and said, "Tell me, the princess rarely interacts with others. I don't know what has happened to her."

After that, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "And that Princess Yu is not a pushover. She actually said that Huayang doesn't look like the prince's or princess's flesh and blood. Tell me, if the princess hears this, what will happen if she gets suspicious?"

"The princess is easy to control." Zhang San sighed, "That Princess Yu is indeed not easy to deal with."

After hearing this, Zhang was silent for a long time. Finally, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Why not just kill them all?"

These words shocked Zhang San and his wife.

"Are you going to kill both the princess and her sister?" Sun was so frightened that her voice almost changed.

Zhang rolled her eyes at Sun fiercely: "Do you have a brain? The princess is a precious girl, how can we harm her? Even if we succeed, it will be easy to find out."

"I'm talking about the little princess." Zhang said angrily, "As long as she dies, there will be no evidence of this matter, and we will be safe."

Zhang San was a little scared at first when he heard this, but after thinking it over again and again, he felt that this was the best way to protect himself.

"The little princess does go out often, but if you want to get her, it will take some effort."

Zhang said, "Just tell me how much money you need. As long as you can kill her, it doesn't matter how much money you spend."

Hearing what Zhang said, Zhang San's eyes lit up and he immediately became alert: "Then I will spend a lot of money to hire two top assassins in the martial arts world, and then follow her quietly. When I get a chance, I will kill her with a cold knife. Even if the regent has all the power, he will never be able to find us."

Zhang immediately said, "Let's do it this way. We must do it cleanly and quickly. Afterwards, let those assassins flee far away."
