After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 118 Urgent Urgency

Left Prime Minister's Mansion

Wang Jingjing is the youngest daughter of the Left Prime Minister and the elderly couple's only daughter in their later years, so they naturally dote on her and listen to her every word.

If she wants something, even the stars in the sky, the Left Prime Minister will find a way to get it for her.

At this moment, Miss Wang was lying on the table, looking at the painting she had paid a high price for, with a look of fascination on her face.

"Jingjing, when your father comes back later, don't let him see this painting. How can you, an unmarried young lady, stare at a pretty boy's portrait?"

Madam Wang didn't even look at the portrait; she just stared at her increasingly spoiled youngest daughter with a worried expression, not knowing what to do.

What respectable young lady would place a portrait of a strange man in her boudoir? It's against all propriety, and if word gets out, it could ruin her youngest daughter's marriage.

“Mother, this is not a pretty boy, but a portrait of the Regent that I commissioned from a painter at great expense. Although it is not even one ten-thousandth as handsome as he is in person, I will not allow you to humiliate him like this.”

"what?!"

Lady Wang stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the portrait on the table. It was indeed a portrait of the Regent himself. She felt her blood rush to her head and her head spin violently.

"Mother, please keep your voice down. Why are you so loud? I was so scared that I scratched the portrait."

Wang Jingjing carefully put away the portrait of the Regent with a pained expression, glanced at Madam Wang with slight displeasure, and then turned back to continue admiring the man in the painting.

"Wang Jingjing, you've got some nerve! You even dared to keep a portrait of the Regent!"

Even if she doted on her youngest daughter, Madam Wang would not dare to indulge her like this.

According to the laws of the Chu and Qin states, commoners were not allowed to hang or privately possess portraits of the emperor in their homes.

Although the Regent is not the Emperor and the Left Prime Minister's residence is not an ordinary family, the Regent is currently in charge of the government. Moreover, he is ruthless and would certainly not stand idly by if he knew that his daughter had secretly commissioned an artist to keep his portrait.

The Prime Minister had revealed that the Regent and he were at odds, and Lady Wang was terrified of Murong Xun, fearing that he might displease him and take action against the Prime Minister's residence.

"Mother, since I'm going to marry the Regent anyway, what's wrong with collecting a few of his portraits now?"

Wang Jingjing didn't take it seriously; in her heart, no matter how big the trouble, her father would always protect her.

With her father being so capable, he could definitely handle these small matters for her.

"Have you lost your mind? How dare you plot against the Regent? Do you know how ruthless and vicious the Regent is?"

When Madam Wang heard her youngest daughter utter such outrageous and lewd words, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.

She was truly fearless, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger; she had no idea how ruthless the Regent's reputation was.

How dare they try to take advantage of him? Do they think they have too much time on their hands?

“Mother, why do you believe everything you hear, just like those ignorant people outside? I’ve met the Regent once, and he’s not as terrible as people say. If you keep insulting him like this, I’ll be unhappy.”

Wang Jingjing didn't take it seriously. She had indeed caught a glimpse of the Regent on the back mountain of Baoguo Temple. The tall and handsome man had unintentionally captured the heart of her naive young girl.

The Left Prime Minister returned to his residence in a huff, his face ashen. The maids and servants in the mansion were so frightened by the sight that they all hid in the backyard, afraid of offending their master and being punished.

Madam Wang was quite surprised to see her husband so angry.

Didn't my grandson cause trouble at the academy? I went to help him resolve it. Why does he look so upset?

In recent years, the master has been very successful in the court. Apart from the imperial relatives, no one dares to mess with him.
