09. Scary twins

Trough the city new story started coursing. Four beauties of Lee family. The oldest was peerless beauty of century, the second was cute and smart sunshine and the twins were elegant and pretty girls.

''She is called cute and smart and you two elegant and pretty, aren't you angry at all.'' Fa Lian looked at the two girls that calmly looked at her back and shivered slightly as they stared at her with a cold gaze. ''I thought you wanted to get rid of her. I did all I could...''

Lee Meixiu picked up her cup and shook her head. ''We change our mind. We had a feeling she was not worthy of being a Lee. Disrespectful brat that throws tantrums and loses our face was not good enough to be our sister. But its strange, how comes she is not the same?''

Lee Huifang nodded as she sipped on her tea as well. ''It seems this time she is different. Luckily. In our last life, she was such a disgusting creature. She even tried once to enter her own sisters household as a concubine. But this time, she has even more proud than us. She or reincarnated just like us or changed after she fell off the horse. In both cases, we will let her live. Mother, now about the prince... tell us.''

Fa Lian was scared because her daughters changed a few months ago after having a fever. They knew many things and used their knowledge to help their father establish better standing on the court. Each of Lee family members had something special on them. Lee Elder was old General, Lee Zhon was a famous scholar that worked as a teacher for future generations, Lee Huan became one of the minor ministers of personnel, but as he was still young he might have chance to rise in future.

Their own father was the only one that wanted to become stronger. So he was the right hand of minister of Justice. Actually, frankly speaking, the two older sons were famous, but their own father was powerful, but never flaunted his power in front of his brothers. But Lee family name was connected to respect, integrity and simplicity.

Not even one of the Lee family members ever wanted to get involved with the royal family. But unfortunately, they have to. At least this time their endings might be different. In last life, twins got married to her father's superiors sons and had a devastating ending as he got himself involved with foreign powers and betrayed the country.

When the Emperor found out he let the whole family get killed and only Lee family got spared but were sent to the borders as their dukedom was taken away from them. The girls then lost their lives even before they started really living. Thye had no idea that Lee Xiaoqing lived until old age.

The main point is the royal prince Wen. He is the only brother the Emperor had and quite attracted to the throne. With many machinations, he tried to rebel many times but was never found out every time his plans got broken. The girls planned this time to set him a trap and let him get caught.

Since their rebirth they spoke with father every day and as it seems he understood many things and used the information to become stronger and wiser. He didn't get involved with his superior too much as he always had excuse of his family.

No one could even take it hard to heart as they knew how unreasonable Lee Elder is. So with time Duke Lan just let him off and started concentrating on another family that had more power and more girls that could be wifes to his family.

Looking at their mother that had reasonable fear they narrowed their eyes. ''Get that strange thought about giving us to one of your family members. Your family, was the one that was in deepest problems as they contacted personally the other side. Their greed went that far that they accepted to go and try to kill the Emperor. You are married, so you won't be directly affected as you belong now to our Lee family, but if you try to pull us in that mess we will tell father. Tell Elders of Fa family that we are distancing ourselves from them from this moment on officially.''

''You are my daughters and I, as your mother, am still...'' But saw them dangerously smiling at her and stopped talking while walking backwards. ''Monsters. I have two monsters as children.''

Suddenly a man's voice could be heard behind her. ''Why monsters? They belong to Lee family. If they want to do all they can to save Lee family from incoming doom we should show our respect to them not despise. Your Fa family is getting too deep, I heard as well. It seems you have two choices of now. Cut all ties with your family. Or go completely back. Your choice.''

Lee family might never have divorce in their family, but he was ready in this case to do it. And he is sure that father and his brothers would have accepted it. That other woman was another case. She cheated on his brother so too much dirt would have been stirred if they calmly divorced. But this woman...

She pointed angrily at his nose. ''You... you just want to take the one in Plum Garden as your main wife, right... right?!''

The girls pushed her away from father and chuckled. ''Mother, we are Lee family. A concubine will never become the main wife, no matter what she does. We will just find father new main wife if you chose to leave.''

The three people looked at her with same icy eyes and same cold expression making her back completely brake in a cold sweat. ''I.. I will speak to my family first and let them chose.''

He nodded and pointed at the door. ''Please leave. I do not think they want to see you for a while. Monsters are born only in Lee family. Right?'' He smirked at her evenly making her heart jump in fear.

The last time he smiled like that he cut one of the servants both hands when he found out he touched his stuff in the study. She still could hear the screams as he took a hot iron and pressed it on the open wounds to stop the bleedings.

She rushed out and patted her chest. ''Stuffy and scary... I need to get out here... I must. They know everything. Elder must know that as soon as possible. But how did the girls find out?''
