Chapter 2: Both Parents Are Great Thieves

"Mother, let the doctor go, the child is fine. It's better not to spread any rumors, it's not good. As for the waist belt, I won't wear it in the future."

She knew her own body very well, and it was purely due to hunger. She didn't know the character of those doctors. If there was an illness, they could treat it, but if there was no illness, they would still prescribe tonics for you to drink for over a month, making it unbearable.

Princess Ling'an looked at her lively and said with a smile, "Let's do as my child says. As for the waist belt, it should have been like this... What kind of son-in-law is not worthy of you, Mother? Why should you suffer like this?"

As they spoke, the servants had already brought a table full of dishes.

"Mother is absolutely right."

Min Weixiu sighed in her heart. Her mother really had sharp eyes.

The emperor was her uncle, and she didn't want to enter the palace as a concubine. Why should she torture herself like this?

In the end, it was all because the crown prince was choosing a consort.

At this moment, she was proud and considered herself the most noble lady in the capital. The position of the crown princess was within her grasp. The crown prince favored slender waists. She listened to the rumors and became obsessed.

Her mother had advised her many times, but she wouldn't listen.

Princess Ling'an was taken aback and frowned, tentatively saying, "After the young lady becomes pregnant and gives birth, her waist will definitely become thicker. If the son-in-law is pleased with you because of your slender waist, in the future, when your waist becomes thicker and your legs stronger, won't he lose interest in you? Such a person is no different from those who judge others by appearance. He is not a good match for my child."

The room fell silent, and the servants all lowered their heads as if they hadn't heard anything.

Only Princess Ling'an dared to criticize the royal family and the crown prince.

Min Weixiu was about to frown at the words, but then she laughed lightly and buried her head in Princess Ling'an's arms.

"Mother, I was just trying to provoke Liu Luan. You don't know me. I do everything on a whim. Even if the palace is closed, I could still wander around. It would be boring to live there in the future."

The reputation of the Wu Guogong Mansion was indeed notorious.

People said that Princess Ling'an was arrogant and domineering, considering herself the aunt of the crown prince, and her behavior was annoying. They also said she had a cruel heart, and the Wu Guogong had three concubines. Those concubines had given birth to four daughters but no sons, which was chilling.

People also said that the Wu Guogong was overbearing and disregarded civil officials, relying on his friendship with the emperor. If anyone dared to oppose him, he would resort to violence or insults, which was disgraceful.

In her previous life, Min Weixiu was deeply saddened. How could her father and mother be traitors?

So every time her parents said disrespectful things or did something improper, she immediately spoke out and advised them to be good people.

But what was the result?

Good people don't live long.

In that case, why be a good person?

If she were truly evil, would those people dare to criticize her?

It could only mean that she wasn't evil enough.

After failing to become the crown princess, her bad reputation became even more widespread.

You see, even the emperor felt that their family's character was not worthy of the position. It seems that those rumors are true, right?

Carrying the reputation of being evil but not doing evil deeds? Min Weixiu refused to accept it.

Princess Ling'an heard this and picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and asked casually, "Weixiu, where did your second brother get bitten by a dog on his buttocks?"

Min Weixiu laughed when she remembered this incident. Her second brother, Min Weisi, was a weak scholar, and he was slower than a cow. Once, he somehow provoked a dog and was bitten badly, lying in bed for a whole month.

"It's on the left side, and there are still teeth marks."

Princess Ling'an coughed. My child, you are a young lady. Now that your second brother has marks on his buttocks, how do you know? Even if you know, you shouldn't say it out loud!

"Then at what age did you stop wetting the bed?" Princess Ling'an asked unexpectedly.

Min Weixiu almost spat out the porridge. Mother!

Don't bring up the past! Don't mention the embarrassing things again!

She finally realized what was going on. Her mother thought she was different from before and was worried that she had been possessed by a demon!

She thought with a stern face and said, "At five."

Princess Ling'an was relieved and hugged Min Weixiu. "That's my child. In Chang'an, a young lady who still wets the bed at the age of five must be my Weixiu."

Min Weixiu blushed. Wasn't this something to be proud of?

In the books, when recognizing a daughter, they would usually make a plum blossom mark, a red birthmark, or recognize a jade pendant. How come in her case, it was about wetting the bed at a certain age?

She thought to herself and exerted force, and the white porcelain chrysanthemum bowl in her hand turned into powder and scattered all over the round table.

The people in the room were dumbfounded.

They must have been mistaken just now.

Princess Ling'an narrowed her eyes. "If anything about today's incident leaks out..."

Before she could finish her sentence, they heard a shout at the door, "Little Five, break another bowl and show it to your father."

Min Weixiu looked up and saw Wu Guogong Min Gui standing at the door.

He was over nine feet tall, with a booming voice, a beard on his face, and bright eyes. Within three feet of him, you could feel the boiling blood.

He was truly a valiant general.

Unfortunately, in the Great Chen Dynasty, civil officials were valued more than military officials. Most military officials didn't have a good ending.

Min Weixiu looked at Wu Guogong and smiled, then picked up another bowl and gently squeezed it, and the bowl broke.

Min Guiyi saw him and burst into laughter.

"I never expected that the natural divine power of the Min family would not be inherited by my two sons, but instead passed on to my daughter. Xiaowu, don't worry. Have you heard of General Li from the Daqing Dynasty? She has some connections with our Min family. My son will definitely not be inferior to her in the future."

As Wu Guogong spoke, he grabbed Min Weixiu's hand. "Come on, Xiaowu, let your father see your true abilities."

Before the father and daughter could reach the door, they were stopped by Princess Chang of Lin'an. "What are you doing, husband? Weixiu was born with these abilities. In the past, we suffered so much on the battlefield during the war. We went through so much trouble just to ensure a stable future for our descendants."

"Weixiu is just a young lady. It's not a big deal for her to command the wind and rain in the future. In this peaceful and prosperous era, why bother being an unpopular warrior? You say that the family's heritage must not be broken, but my eldest son, Weijin, has already taken over the family business. There's no need to involve Weixiu. I've been hiding for so many years just to prevent you from seeing her abilities."

Min Weixiu came from a prominent family, and there were few young men in the world who could match her. This already made her husband's family worry that she would become arrogant, and now with her natural divine power, who would dare to marry her?

If she were to anger her husband's family, there would be no need to report to the Wu Guogong's mansion. She could just slap her husband's entire family to death. It's unimaginable!

Wu Guogong scratched his head. "You discovered it as soon as Xiaowu was born, but how come I didn't know anything about it?"

Princess Chang of Lin'an rolled her eyes. "Other young ladies have wet nurses, so why doesn't Weixiu have one? It's because when she was young, she went through more than thirty wet nurses."

If it weren't for the wealth of the Min family and her status as a princess, Min Weixiu would have starved to death.

Why, you ask? When she was young, she couldn't control her strength...

Every time she drank milk, it left an indelible shadow on those wet nurses. After changing more than thirty of them, it was a struggle to survive. Princess Chang of Lin'an finally decided not to harm others anymore and only fed her with a spoon. That's how the little one grew up, breaking many spoons when she started teething.
