The first daughter of the first daughter

Chapter 24 Showdown
As soon as Haishi arrived, Lou Xuanying, who was dressed as a servant of the palace, secretly opened the courtyard door and slipped out.

Tonight's night was very dark, just to cover her whereabouts, she avoided the patrol route of the palace guards, and tiptoed to Qiandeyuan.

She didn't go through the courtyard door, but climbed over the wall to enter from the side of the courtyard. There was light in the study, her father should still be working.

Lou Xuanying didn't want to disturb others and wanted to climb in through the window, but she underestimated Lou Chengde's guards.

"Who?"

A few meters away from the window, her whereabouts were noticed, and in a blink of an eye, the guard flipped up into the air and landed in front of her with a sword.

"Who is here, dare to break into the prime minister's mansion at night, what's the purpose?"

Lou Xuanying ignored him and rushed towards the window.

The guard's speed was even faster, and when her hand touched the window, the sword in his hand was already around her neck: "If you don't want to die, don't move! Report your name!"

She chuckled at him, pulled the window open forcefully, and shouted: "Father, my daughter came to see you, your guard seems to want to kill me."

Accompanied by her words, the guard's hands trembled, and he was extremely astonished. The person dressed as a servant turned out to be...Miss?
Lou Chengde frowned slightly when he heard this, put down his work and walked to the window, when he saw the person outside the window looking up at him with a smile on his face, he was stunned.

She...she is Lou Xuanying?

But there is no usual stupidity in those eyes full of aura, is she really his eldest daughter?

"Father, Xuanying has something to ask you, can I go in and talk? Or do you want your guard to put the sword on my neck and listen to me?"

"Xuanying?" Lou Chengde still found it inconceivable, she spoke in a clear order, and if there was a sneer at the corner of her mouth, she was no longer stupid, "Shi San, put down the sword!"

"Yes." Shi San hurriedly put away the sword in his hand, and stared at Lou Xuanying, his surprise continued, and he still couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the eldest lady.

Lou Xuanying smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "Guard Shi, I came to see my father so late, I just don't want others to know about me, forget everything I saw tonight, don't tell it, Did you hear me?"

"Uh... yes, miss."

Lou Xuanying just casually said that after tonight, whether she can still pretend to be crazy in the mansion is a question, and the serious Lou Chengde will not allow her to continue to do that.

She walked around Shi San, walked to the door of the study, pushed the door open, and walked to the desk with her hands behind her back, facing Lou Chengde across the long desk.

"Father, you seem surprised?"

"Xuanying...you are not..."

"Aren't I a fool?" She smiled calmly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, she looked at Lou Chengde as if she was just looking at a stranger.

Although she has dual memories, she doesn't feel the slightest paternal love in her memory about Miss Lou. Lou Chengde is indeed just a stranger to her.

"You never regarded me as your daughter, did you? From your point of view, my existence is your disgrace. Heh, Dad, you seem to have forgotten how your grandfather assisted you to sit on the prime minister's position. Abandoned mother in the cold, just because mother gave birth to a silly daughter, you let mother and I be bullied by others and turn a blind eye? Tsk tsk, you are really my mother's good husband, my good father!" There was nothing in her eyes Emotions, the accusations spoken out were only on behalf of the late Miss Lou.

"Lou Xuanying, is this the way you talk to your father?"

"Having become angry? My attitude doesn't depend on how you treat my mother and me. Are you worthy of my respect? You can even ignore me when you hear that I'm sick. Heh, how can you make me respect you?" ?”

"I'm very busy, didn't I ask Aunt Liu to ask a doctor to see you?" Lou Chengde frowned, he never thought that the stupid Lou Xuanying would have such an aggressive side, her sudden appearance tonight caught him off guard.

"Busy? Prime Minister Lou, are you just as busy as the emperor every day? Dare I bother you, but it seems that Lou Xuanqin fell ill not long ago. You put down your work and went to visit. Last time Lou Xuanya coughed, You also went to see her, and last time, Lou Ningyuan only fell and suffered a minor injury, you rushed back from the palace when you heard the news, do you need me to explain all these?" Lou Xuanying heard him He laughed immediately when he said he was busy, being the prime minister was indeed busy, but to Lou Xuanya and the others, he was a loving father who could care for them no matter how busy he was, the poor Lou Xuanying was just an abandoned child.

These memories are buried deep in her heart, perhaps for Lou Xuanying, even though she is stupid, she still sees everything in her eyes.

"Father, I just don't have confidence in you. I was afraid that you wouldn't come, so I asked Tian'er to tell you that I was seriously ill. In the end, you still let me down. Lou Xuanya and the others are your children, so I shouldn't be? "

Lou Chengde opened his mouth, wanted to say something, looked at her self-deprecating smile but couldn't say anything, after she reminded him, it seems that he is really not a competent father.

Over the years, he seems to have forgotten to care for his silly daughter.

"Xuanying, have you been playing dumb?"

"Father thinks so? Have you ever seen me being bullied? Have you ever seen Lou Xuanya and Lou Xuanqin pointing at me, even pushing me into a wall, causing my head to bleed, and pushing me into a lake? Nearly drowning? Have you ever seen a servant boss me around? If I pretended, would I let others bully me like this?"

Lou Chengde was startled by her words. He knew that Lou Xuanying had been injured all the time since she was a child, but Liu Niang and Lou Xuanya always told him that she couldn't listen to persuasion and rushed out like crazy to get hurt. Actually...was he being bullied by them?

"Impossible, Xuanya is so kind and Liu Niang is so gentle, it's impossible for them to do such a thing."

Lou Xuanying sneered: "Whatever you think, they are your family members in your eyes, you can just treat what I said just now as slander, I didn't expect you to believe it, I was just asked by you, tell me That's all."

"If there is such a thing, I will definitely investigate it."

"As you please. Prime Minister Lou, aren't you busy? I'm afraid you don't have time to investigate. If you really investigate, where do you start? Ask Lou Xuanya's mother and daughter? Then you'd better save yourself. I'm here tonight. When the imperial decree comes, I can clearly state that I don’t want to be sent to Prince Jing’s mansion in accordance with the imperial decree.”

"Xuanying, we have no choice, the decree is to be beheaded."

"Why does the emperor insist on pointing me, Lou Xuanya and others to the prince? I want to know the reason, but I don't want to be a pawn being used for no reason."

Lou Chengde had a headache. What happened tonight was beyond his expectation. In his eyes, his daughter, who had always been a fool, suddenly became so powerful. After many years in the officialdom, he was a little overwhelmed.

"Xuanying, you don't have to ask why. The imperial decree has been issued, and you must obey it no matter how unwilling you are. Do you really want to resist the decree?"

Lou Xuanying crossed her chest with one hand, touched her chin with the other and smiled slyly: "Resist the decree? Why not."
