In the study, Lu Yuan looked at Xu Waner's uneasy, nervous and shy eyes.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should I say it or not? You are a girl at such a young age. What are you thinking about?

Is it possible that your head is filled with nothing else but Sese?

Although Lu Yuan thought he was an LSP, he couldn't do it in the current situation.

Especially when the other person is someone I have only known for less than a day.

Facing Xu Waner at this time, Lu Yuan shook his head speechlessly, and then took off the mask on his face.

"Miss Xu, I brought you back not as you thought."

"Tell me about your family."

"After all, what Master Shang Tian said to you before was not a joke. Your father's death... was most likely caused by something strange."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xu Waner was stunned on the spot.

Repeating the same words repeatedly made Xu Waner understand that Lu Yuan was not joking.

But her father's death was indeed related to evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Xu Waner's originally nervous mood gradually calmed down.

She looked at Lu Yuan's handsome face and began to talk about her past experiences in a soft tone.

As a beautiful woman who was born with good luck and talent, she can conquer the country and the city.

Xu Waner's life is both lucky and unfortunate.

When Xu Waner was young, she was just an ordinary merchant's daughter.

Her father, Xu Jiaping, became a wealthy businessman in the city when she was six years old because of his good management skills.

If Xu Waner's father just stopped.

From then on, the family lived a life of a wealthy businessman with no worries about food and clothing, and there were no problems.

But people are not always easily satisfied.

After gaining a certain social status, Xu Waner's father, Xu Jiaping, suddenly felt that there was no future for him just as a businessman.

The idea of ​​becoming an official gradually emerged.

Relying on his outstanding financial resources, Xu Jiaping actually obtained the official position of a county magistrate.

Relying on his own business experience, Xu Jiaping's county governance results were quite good.

If this were the case, Xu Jiaping's life would indeed be wonderful.

Whether he is a businessman or an official, all of them have reached a good level.

But everything changed when Xu Waner was ten years old.

The reason why I say this is because in that year, Xu Waner felt that something seemed to have changed in her father, Xu Jiaping.

Xu Waner doesn't know exactly what happened that year.

But she clearly remembered that it was that year when her father suddenly came back holding a Buddha statue.

She still remembers what her father said to her when she was holding the Buddha statue.

"Wan'er, whether our Xu family can soar into the sky in the future depends entirely on you."

From that day on, Xu Jiaping's official career became smooth sailing.

In just three years, he was promoted to the fourth rank, and his family even moved to the imperial city.

And this official rank can already meet the standards for entering and exiting the palace.

This year, Xu Waner has just turned thirteen.

It was only after arriving in the Imperial City that Xu Waner learned about her father's plan.

That is because he actually wants to get close to the current emperor and become the queen of Daxia.

For Xu Waner, who has been staying at home, this is simply something she has never thought of.

After all, she didn't think she was qualified to be a queen at all.

It was also the second year after Xu Jiaping entered the imperial city.

Rumors began to spread inside and outside the imperial city that "the Xu family had a daughter who had just grown up and was raised in a boudoir without anyone knowing it."

For a time, Xu Waner's reputation spread throughout the imperial capital, and no one knew about it.

When Xu Waner was fourteen, a banquet was held in the palace.

This time, the Emperor of Daxia, Chen De, asked Xu Jiaping to bring Xu Waner.

It was obvious that Emperor Chen De was also very curious about this strange woman from the Xu family.

Not surprisingly, Xu Waner was truly stunning that night.

Not only did she win the praise of the emperor as a "peerless beauty".

Even many dignitaries took the initiative to come to Xu Jiaping to propose marriage after the banquet.

But Xu Jiaping also knew what he wanted.

Only when his daughter Xu Waner becomes the emperor's concubine can he gain the greatest benefit.

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Jiaping flatly rejected all the people who came to ask for marriage.

He is obsessed with getting Xu Waner to participate in the draft five years from now.

The next five years will also be Xu Jiaping's most prosperous five years.

Relying on the beauty of his daughter.

Xu Jiaping even reached the official position of a second-rank official.

Everyone knows what his official position means.

They all understood the emperor's calculations.

The daughter of a second-rank official, fully qualified to become the emperor's concubine, Genzheng Miaohong.

However, Xu Jiaping and the emperor had a tacit understanding, which undoubtedly affected the interests of some people.

Almost everyone could see that Xu Jiaping's idea was to let Xu Waner enter the palace.

In the end, she replaced the current queen and became the person who embodies the world.

But in this way, Xu Jiaping undoubtedly offended another terrifying interest group in Daxia.

That is the relatives and dignitaries headed by Xiao Yuran and Queen Xiao.

Standpoint is something that often has nothing to do with a person's character or intelligence.

It's about where you are.

No matter how Queen Xiao feels about Xu Waner.

The fact that Xu Jiaping was promoted to a second-grade official undoubtedly sent a very dangerous signal.

That's her position as queen... in danger.

If she doesn't do something at this time.

It's not just those who support her who will be unhappy.

Even some people who remain neutral will change their stance because of this.

So it is no surprise that when Xu Waner turned 20, the year she was about to participate in the draft, something unexpected happened.

At a palace dinner, Xu Jiaping unexpectedly left the table in the middle of the banquet.

And not long after he left, a shocking news came from the harem.

That is, Xu Jiaping, who was drunk and hungover, actually flirted with a concubine in the harem.

Under the insult, the other party suddenly chose to die to prove his ambition.

Although the whole thing seems strange, there are both human and physical evidence.

Under pressure, the emperor could only put Xu Jiaping in prison.

But maybe it's for some well-known purpose.

The emperor did not implicate the entire Xu family, but confiscated all their property, and did not demote the Xu family to a lowly status.

Xu Waner's mother died prematurely, and Xu Jiaping focused on officialdom in recent years. As a result, he and Xu Waner were the only key figures in the Xu family.

Therefore, this kind of punishment is absolutely extrajudicial to the Xu family.

As the servants left, the property was confiscated.

The huge Xu family disappeared in an instant, and Xu Waner became an ordinary citizen.

The house leaked and it rained all night, just when Xu Waner was running around trying to save her father's life.
