Seeing Xiaoxi being bullied, Shui Qingqing was very anxious and was about to come to the rescue, but she didn't expect Bai Lingxuan to suddenly rush in front of her like a crazy cloak, blocking her way, and sending her head to Shui Qingqing's men, saying that she would let Shui Qingqing kill her.

However, when did Shui Qingqing beat her?!

didn't have time to think about it, Shui Qingqing just wanted to push her away and hurry up to save Xiaoxi. But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in from outside the house, raised his hand and slapped Shui Qingqing's face.

"Smack!"

The crisp slap was deafening, and Shui Qingqing's right cheek was numb, and she lost consciousness for a long time. There was a rattle in his right ear, and his body retreated several steps before he stopped and stood firm.

She looked at her in a panic, and the person who slapped her was her father, Bai Haoqing, the head of the Bai family.

Actually, you don't need to look at Shui Qingqing to know that it's him, because no one in the entire Bai Mansion can beat her except him.

Bai Haoqing suddenly appeared and slapped Shui Qingqing hard, instantly quieting the room.

Everyone didn't dare to come out, even Bai Lingxuan, who was crying, put away her tears and didn't dare to say anything.

Bai Haoqing's eyes swept over the broken jewelry all over the ground, and then looked at Bai Lingxuan who was wearing a cloak, and finally landed coldly on Shui Qingqing's face, whose face was like frost, and his tone was cold, and he said coldly: "As soon as you return home, you will make trouble, you really don't stop!"

Shui Qingqing's face was in hot pain, and her eyes were so painful that she gritted her teeth and held back.

The Yang family and the others were all looking at her gloatingly, how could she cry?!

The thin back was straight, Shui Qingqing spit out the blood in her mouth, looked at the indifferent and ruthless Bai Haoqing with cold eyes, hooked her lips and sneered angrily: "Bai Haoqing, what qualifications do you have to beat me?!"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Haoqing's face darkened, and he said coldly: "You don't care about you for your father, but you shouldn't do anything to your sister - although you are the county lord and are one level higher than her, she will be the crown princess and concubine who will enter the East Palace in the future, how can you be bullied?!"

Shui Qingqing came to her senses at this time, it turned out that Bai Lingxuan suddenly pulled her hair like crazy and rushed towards her, and she said things like that, all for Bai Haoqing to see.

Her heart was cold, Shui Qingqing's eyes looked at the delicate third sister who was shrinking to the side, as if she didn't dare to come out, and said with a mocking smile: "Your Bai family is really talented-no wonder you like watching dramas so much, you like to set up the stage in the courtyard, it turns out that you are a drama yourself!"

The latter sentence was said to Bai Lingxuan.

Every time she said a word, Shui Qingqing took a step forward, walked in front of Bai Haoqing, and sneered: "Say, where did I hit you?"

Bai Lingxuan was so frightened by Shui Qingqing's fierce momentum that she involuntarily stepped back, and said with a white face in a panic: "Forget it...... My sister is older than me, so I should be beaten and scolded...... What's more, I was ignorant and took up my sister's yard to make my sister angry......"

"How can you just forget it!?"

Shui Qingqing interrupted her and said indifferently: "Whether I beat you or not, where I hit you, and how I hit you, you must make it clear." Otherwise, if I don't admit it in front of the saint, or if the emperor finds out that the future crown prince and concubine are a liar, you will be miserable! ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Bai Lingxuan's face turned white, but even Bai Haoqing's expression changed greatly.

Yang was also a little timid in his heart, but he sneered disapprovingly: "The county lord is used to scaring people. Do you think the emperor can be disturbed casually? The emperor takes care of every day, and the housework of our Baifu also comes to the emperor to take care of it, you are really idle as the emperor......"

"It's about the character of the crown prince's concubine, and it's not a trivial matter for the emperor."

Shui Qingqing looked at the jackals, tigers and leopards around her, her heart was sad, but she gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "And I, the county lord who was personally appointed by the emperor, was wantonly slandered, and no one in Baifu made the decision for me, so I want to ask the emperor to administer justice for me."

Shui Qingqing pulled Xiao Xi, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and said to Bai Haoqing, who had an obscure expression: "Bai Xiang, take a good look, who is the one who was really beaten." If the white eye is not blind, you should be able to see clearly. ”

After that, he said to Xiaoxi: "Let's go!"

Hearing Shui Qingqing scolding himself for being blind in public, Bai Haoqing was furious in his heart.

He is the prime minister of the dynasty, and even the Emperor Ming of Jin and the crown prince are courteous to him, when has he ever been scolded like this?

But at this time, it was not the time for him to be angry and pursue it.

Because he knew that according to Shui Qingqing's temperament, if she couldn't get her mother's main courtyard back, she would really be able to do anything.

Before, Shui Qingqing escaped from the capital with no name, and when Bai Haoqing died, he thought that she would not come back, so he let her move into her main courtyard at Bai Lingxuan's request.

Later, when he heard that she was coming back, Bai Haoqing didn't care about it.

He thought that when she came back from doing something wrong, even if she was married to Mei Zijin and was also a concubine, she should know how to be restrained and accommodating, and she would not be angry because the yard was occupied.

However, she didn't expect that as soon as she returned home, she would make chickens and dogs jump!

was resentful in her heart, but thinking of Emperor Jin Ming's reward of Zilong Yuyu to her, Bai Haoqing didn't dare to let Shui Qingqing really leave the house, and hurriedly asked the subordinates at the door to stop her.

Shui Qingqing saw that the road ahead was blocked, and looked back at Bai Hao, who had a gloomy face, and sneered coldly: "Bai Xiang let people occupy my yard, so that I have nowhere to go." On the one hand, people stopped me and didn't let me go out of the house, what did it mean? ”

Bai Haoqing's face was gloomy as water, he walked up to her, gritted his teeth and whispered: "Fang Caiwei beat you by mistake for a while, and I will let them return them to you intact...... And you are about to get married and go to the Hou Mansion, so it's better not to have any more accidents at this time. ”

How could Shui Qingqing not understand Bai Haoqing's thoughts.

He couldn't see any hope in himself, and now he had put all his hopes on Bai Lingxuan, so he didn't dare to let himself go to the emperor to make trouble, so as not to disturb the royal relatives he had so hard to get.

However, as soon as she returned home today, she was slandered, and she was slapped in vain, and Xiaoxi was also bullied.

But what made her most angry and sad was that her mother's yard was ruined like this......

Therefore, just based on Bai Haoqing's words, I want her to stop her anger and calm this matter, but it is absolutely impossible!

His eyes swept coldly towards the people behind him, and Shui Qingqing asked Xiaoxi: "Who did you remember who beat you just now?"

Xiao Xi looked back and pointed at the few maids and grandmothers who were hiding behind Bai Lingxuan and Ning's, and said angrily: "Miss, it's me who was beaten by a few of them."

Shui Qingqing smiled indifferently, turned her head to look at Bai Haoqing, and said with a cool smile: "Today, the county lord can go back to his home, but he was slandered and beaten in the courtyard left by my mother, and even my maid was not spared, Bai Xiangruo wanted to let the county lord quench his anger with just one sentence, but he couldn't do it."

Shui Qingqing never claimed to be the county lord in front of people, but at this time, he claimed to be the county lord in front of his father, and it was clear that he would not stop this matter.

Bai Haoqing's face turned pale. Seeing Shui Qingqing being beaten before, the Yang family, who gloated, secretly changed their faces, and the room fell into dead silence for a while.

After a long time, Bai Hao said coldly: "The minions who just beat people are all handed over to you to deal with, and you can kill them!"

Hearing this, the maids and grandmothers who had just beaten Xiaoxi were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they knelt in front of the Ning family and Bai Lingxuan to plead, begging their masters to come forward to protect themselves.

Ning's and Bai Lingxuan's expressions also changed greatly, and they didn't understand why the old man, who was obviously very strong at the beginning, compromised with Shui Qingqing again?!

But Shui Qingqing's heart became more and more cold, because Bai Haoqing was still protecting Bai Lingxuan of the Yang family who really provoked and slandered her.

However, she also knows how important Bai Lingxuan is to Bai Haoqing now, and she is not in a hurry to report today's revenge one day.

Shui Qingqing immediately ordered coldly: "Come on, escort these evil slaves who beat people to the courtyard, and serve on the board!"

After Shui Qingqing finished speaking, Bai Haoqing also ordered: "Do as the eldest lady orders!"

With Bai Haoqing personally speaking, the maids and grandmothers who beat Xiaoxi didn't even have time to beg for mercy, so they were dragged to the courtyard and tied to a stool in a row.

These maids are all the people around Bai Lingxuan, and there are also her personal maids and catkins.

The catkins look like a three-point look, and they were originally looking forward to marrying the prince with Bai Lingxuan and living in the East Palace with hope. In this way, there is hope that he can also be fortunate by the prince, and he will become the master and completely change his life.

Therefore, these days, Liu Wu has tried his best to please Bai Lingxuan. Fang was beating Xiaoxi just now, and she was also the most ruthless, scratching several blood marks on Xiaoxi's face and neck.

And now that she is going to be beaten, she is panicked - what if she leaves a scar on her body and can't serve the prince in the future?

Thinking of this, Liu Wu cried heartbreakingly, shouting to Bai Lingxuan for help.

But Bai Lingxuan framed and slandered Shui Qingqing just now, and she couldn't protect herself at the moment, and she was still worried about how Shui Qingqing would settle accounts with herself, so she dared to plead for them.

The tortured grandmother took the thick board and asked Shui Qingqing how many hits?

Shui Qingqing said coldly: "Let's fight, fight until I am satisfied and shout to stop!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Wu was even more frightened and desperate, and several other maids and grandmothers were also frightened and cried, and one by one they began to beg Shui Qingqing for mercy in fear and despair.

After giving the order, Shui Qingqing didn't look at the people in the courtyard anymore, and waved her hand coldly, letting the tortured grandmother do it.

She turned around and looked coldly at the Yang clan who was white-faced and wanted to sneak away, and Bai Lingxuan, who was trembling all over, and said coldly in front of Bai Haoqing: "Before dark, I want to see this courtyard return to exactly the same as before, there can be no less thing, no more than one thing-otherwise, even if it is dark, I will also take the purple dragon jade jade into the palace to face the saint!"

After that, he turned around and went back to the house with Xiaoxi, leaving the Yang family and their faces standing with white faces, as well as the screams of crying father and mother in the yard.

Bai Haoqing's face was dark, and he gritted his teeth and scolded Yang: "What are you doing like a wooden pestle?" Hurry up and do what she says. ”

Yang's whole body trembled, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to start moving Bai Lingxuan's dowry, and the stage in the front yard did not dare to stay for a moment......

Bai Lingxuan looked at the people who were beaten in the courtyard, and then watched the dowry she was proud of being moved out of the main house one by one, and felt deep shame and anger.

Although Fang Cai's father never reprimanded her by name, she obviously felt her father's compromise and submission to Shui Qingqing.

And the subordinates who beat her are punishing her.

Therefore, in the final analysis, in this family, the most deterrent and highest status is still this eldest daughter, even if she becomes the prince's concubine, she is still not as good as the princess of Guanqing, who is about to become a concubine......

Bai Lingxuan, who was resentful in her heart, looked at her father who was standing aside with a tense face, and saw that he let his subordinates throw her dowry out of the main house like garbage, and hated it in her heart, and in front of him, she entered the house and knelt at Shui Qingqing's feet, crying and begging for mercy: "Sister, my sister is afraid that my sister will smash the dowry, so I can't lie and stop my sister...... I beg my sister to forgive me this time, I won't dare to do it again......"

Shui Qingqing's eyes looked coldly at Bai Lingxuan, who was kneeling at her feet, and said coldly: "A word of advice to my sister, if my sister wants to gain a foothold in the East Palace in the future and stand out among the princes and concubines, she will not be able to rely on this little trick of lying." Because there will always be times when lying will be exposed, and in the end you will only lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot. ”

was reprimanded in front of everyone, Bai Lingxuan's pretty face turned blue and white, but she gritted her teeth to suppress the hatred in her heart, and said respectfully: "Sister, thank you for your sister's teachings."

"Take your dowry and go back to your own yard."

Shui Qingqing didn't want to entangle her more, so she waved her out.

After Bai Lingxuan was kicked out of the main courtyard in public, the Ning family sent her back to her former boudoir, Xiaolanxuan.

Xiaolanxuan is located in the remote southwest corner of the back house of Baifu, small and remote. In the summer, it is extremely hot and humid in the west, and in the winter, it is cold and windy, and it is cold to the bone.

In the past, as an unfavored concubine, Bai Lingxuan was used to living here, but now that she has lived in the spacious and comfortable main courtyard, it is really sad to return here.

Tears couldn't stop falling, Ning's heart ached and came forward to persuade her, Bai Lingxuan said indignantly: "Why is my father still so subservient to her today?"

When Ning saw her daughter being kicked out of the main courtyard, she was even more heartbroken by this shame and grievance, and she burst into tears unconsciously, and said sadly: "Who let the family have a noble mother, as well as a noble county lord, and even more things from the emperor...... But daughter, don't be discouraged, when you marry into the East Palace in the future and get the favor of the prince, you will definitely be more beautiful than her, and when the time comes, you can stand on top of her and raise your eyebrows! ”

Bai Lingxuan gritted her teeth and said hatefully: "I will definitely remember today's shame - when I ascend to a high position, I will return today's shame to her."

……

The stage was quickly demolished, the mess in the room was quickly emptied, and the things that had been removed were returned to their original places in the same way.

And in the courtyard, after the catkins were beaten to the point that their skin was open and their breath was dying, the entire courtyard instantly became the original appearance.

The Yang family led a group of subordinates to guard the door, waiting for Shui Qingqing's acceptance with a white face and nodded.

Inside the house, Shui Qingqing was applying medicine to Xiaoxi, for fear that her wounds would leave scars.

Thinking of the way they were beaten and cried and called their mother, Xiaoxi looked at Shui Qingqing who was focused on applying medicine to her, and choked up: "Miss, thank you."

Looking at the wounds on Xiaoxi's face, Shui Qingqing felt sad.

If it weren't for his incompetence, how could Xiaoxi be bullied like this?!

She said indifferently: "Don't thank me, you are my person, you are bullied, I don't help you, who will help you?!"

Xiaoxi said: "However, in this way, the third miss will also be offended...... In this white mansion, they are all on one side, and I am afraid that they will unite in the future to bully Miss again......"

How Shui Qingqing didn't understand this truth, she smiled bitterly: "Since I came back here from the beginning, I have not been recognized by them, and they have never really regarded me as family, so I don't care at all about ......"

"Moreover, if we don't do this today, they will bully us even more in the future - I will guard the yard left by my mother, and you and I will protect it......"

Xiaoxi looked at her red and swollen right cheek, and said bitterly: "The old man is really ruthless, how hard this slap is, his face is swollen...... The young lady should not let them go, she should go to the palace to see the emperor, and let the emperor help the young lady to make the decision......"

Hearing this, Shui Qingqing's expression was slightly cold.

She didn't want to do this, but when she thought of Yun'er, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Because Bai Haoqing knew about her and Yun'er, if she really went to the emperor to disturb Bai Lingxuan and Li You's family affairs, Bai Haoqing would definitely retaliate against her in anger, and then she would definitely be involved in Yun'er, but this was what she was most afraid of seeing.

Moreover, although she hated Bai Lingxuan's hypocrisy, she didn't want to really ruin her marriage because of this matter.

"Although Bai Lingxuan lied and slandered me, her sin is not to death, and I don't want to really ruin her marriage. Because, if Bai Lingxuan is divorced by Li You, her life will be completely ruined......"

Xiao nodded happily, "Miss can think like this, but they won't accept Miss's affection......"

Shui Qingqing smiled indifferently and said, "It doesn't matter what they think of me, and it won't last long for me to stay here." And in this white mansion, the only thing that makes me nostalgic and concerned is the courtyard left to me by my mother. ”

Yang stood outside for a long time, suppressing anger in her heart, and wanted to shake her hands and leave here, but without Shui Qingqing's nod and acceptance, she didn't dare to leave, so she had to go in person, gritted her teeth to suppress the resentment in her heart, and said coldly to Shui Qingqing: "The yard has been cleaned up as it is, the eldest lady will accept it, if there is nothing else, the concubine will retire."

Shui Qingqing put away the ointment in her hand, and looked at the bright woman in front of her with cold eyes.

When she looks at her, she thinks of her poor mother, and the scorpion woman's murderous hand against her.

Shui Qingqing said with a smile: "Why is Aunt Yang in a hurry, I haven't been back for a long time, and there are many families who want to talk to my aunt!"

Yang was taken aback, and intuitively felt that nothing good would happen to Shui Qingqing if she stayed at this time, so she coldly refused: "There are many things in the house today, and the concubine has other things to do, so I am afraid that I will not be able to chat with the eldest lady......"

"Aunt Yang, do you remember this bed?"

Shui Qingqing pointed to the bed on the side, and said in a cold voice: "Mother was killed by you in the first place, and finally died on this bed, does Aunt Yang remember?"

Yang's whole body trembled, and he looked at Shui Qingqing in disbelief, his face turned pale, cold sweat flowed, and he trembled: "Don't talk nonsense if you have no evidence...... Madame's death has nothing to do with me, don't spew blood. ”

"Did you wronged you, the lord of this county will definitely give you a judgment in the future!"

"And this main courtyard, the county lord is here to solemnly warn you, even if the county lord gets married and leaves here in the future, you don't want to fight this courtyard. If there is a next time, the lord of this county will not be as easy to talk as he is today—if it is missing, I will take the flesh and skin from my aunt to make up for it. ”

Yang Shi was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with a cold face in horror, but he couldn't say a word......

After the main courtyard returned to its previous tranquility, Shui Qingqing, who had rested, began to miss Yun'er uncontrollably.

It has been more than half a day since the separation of Huiyancheng.

Looking at the darkening sky outside, Shui Qingqing stood in front of the window and thought worriedly, I don't know if Yun'er has been obediently listening to the old lady's words after being away from her for the first time, but has she eaten and slept well?

Xiaoxi looked at her sad and worried look, and knew that she was missing Yun'er, so she couldn't help but comfort: "Miss, don't be sad, maybe Hou Ye will quietly bring the little boy here to see Miss later."

This kind of thing, Mei Zijin didn't do much in the past, and often came here to see Shui Qingqing over the wall in the middle of the night, so when she heard Xiaoxi say it, Shui Qingqing also had expectations in her heart.

She hurriedly asked Xiaoxi to apply gouache to her face to cover the finger prints left by the beating, so as not to be discovered by Mei Zijin.

Xiaoxi was puzzled: "Does Miss want to hide it from Master Hou and not let him know about the master's bullying of you?"

Shui Qingqing smiled bitterly: "He has just returned to the capital, and there must be a lot of things to be busy with, I don't want him to worry about me anymore."

Mei Zijin was indeed very busy, since he returned to Beijing, the affairs of the court, the barracks, and the affairs of the government, he began to be busy without taking a sip of tea.

By the time he returned home from his busy work, it was already nightfall.

He strode straight to the old lady's Shi'an Yuan and asked Yun'er about the situation for half a day.

Since taking Yun'er back to the Hou Mansion, the old lady has also been very concerned, the Tang family was going to stay and dine with her, but the old lady saw that Yun'er had been clamoring to see Shui Qingqing, and she was afraid that she would be discovered by others, so she pushed them away and urged them to leave.

The old lady could coax Yun'er to sleep, and sighed with difficulty: "He has been making trouble to see his mother. You see, my eyes are red from crying, and I am pitiful. ”

Mei Zijin looked at the old lady's tired appearance, knowing that her mother had been on the road for so many days, and she couldn't rest for a moment when she came back, and she was taking care of Yun'er, so she couldn't help but be grateful: "Thank you for your hard work, mother." At night, I took Yun'er to sleep in my yard. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "I told the Tang clan that because I couldn't let go of the little prince who had 'died' before, you picked up this child who looked seven points like Yun'er outside and took him back to the house to comfort me, so I also named him Yun'er."

The old lady's words were very thoughtful, which solved the doubts in the hearts of the Tang family, after all, after taking the old lady back to the house, they suddenly saw Mother Ye carrying a child into the house, and the Tang family and the others were very surprised.

When she saw the child's familiar face, which was very similar to Bai Lingwei's 'deceased' son before, Tang Qianqian couldn't help but be surprised by the old lady, where did this child come from? Why is it so similar to Xiao Shizi before?

The old lady used Fang Cai's words to dispel the doubts in everyone's hearts......

After listening to the old lady, Mei Zijin said, "Do they believe it?"

The old lady twisted her eyebrows and said: "The Tang family may believe it, but the Bai family, she knew that Yun'er did not die before, and she also took Yun'er for a while, but she was afraid that she would not be able to hide it...... I'm really afraid that she will tell Yun'er about it. Alas, I shouldn't have let her re-enter the mansion in the first place, I feel like she is a scourge in our Hou Mansion......"

Speaking of Bai Lingwei, the old lady had a headache and resentment, but she couldn't think of a way to deal with her. After all, she holds the handle of the Hou Mansion in her hands, even a nameless secret.

The old lady expected it to be true, the first time she saw Yun'er, Bai Lingwei recognized him.

Later, when she heard what the old lady said in order to cover Yun'er's identity, it aroused the hatred in Bai Lingwei's heart.

She knew that what Mei Zijin and the old lady did was to reunite Shui Qingqing and Yun'er in the Hou Mansion!

However, Bai Lingwei, who hated Shui Qingqing so much, how could she let the old lady get their wish......
