"Father, don't beat my mother. For this matter, I am not wrong, my mother is not, either!" Di Yan was stunned and said anxiously.
As Qin Huaiyong left, the two guards had already released his hands. When he saw that his mother was slapped, he was stunned and also ran over to her instantly.
"Smack!" Another slap sounded, but it fell on Di Yan's face this time. Duke Yong looked vicious, walked over, and kicked Di Yan hard, making him shake and kneel on the ground with a heavy thud. His foot bumped into the bluestone slate in front, and so he screamed out of the pain and could not stand up any longer.
"Duke, what are you doing?" Countess Yong regained consciousness at this time. Regardless of the palm print on her face, she pounced over to protect Di Yan, preventing Duke Yong from beating him again.
"Let him kneel until our brother-in-law forgives him!" Duke Yong said ruthlessly.
"Duke, why are you so cruel? Yan'er i
In the study, Madam Di was kneeling in front of Qin Huaiyong's desk, sobbing. Hearing a sound, she raised her head, took a look at Qin Wanru, and began to wipe away her tears again with her handkerchief, ignoring her. In the study, there were no other people because Yujue didn't follow her in. First, Qin Wanru stepped forward to bow respectfully to Qin Huaiyong, who waved his hand to let her up, then lowered his head to continue reading the case records in his hands. In the room, only Madam Di's sobbing could be heard. The silence was eerie! Qin Wanru backed off to the side and hesitated, seemingly wishing to say something. Qin Huaiyong took the records to read, waited a long while, but didn't hear her voice, then raised his head again to look at her and asked, "Wanru, what's up?" "Grandma is not well!" Qin Wanru said. "Didn't your grandma already wake up just now?" Qin Huaiyong frowned.
"What if do I take you away? What else do you want to do? Look at what you are like now. Even if you were a concubine, Duke Yong's Mansion would not want you. It is in vain that you think that you have controlled Di Yan. Now it's just like a joke!" Ning Xueqing sneered coldly. "Take me away, and I'll help you marry Wang Shengxue, or you should not be so stupid to believe that he will marry you!" Ning Caixian said with gloomy and cold eyes. "Why wouldn't he marry me? He'll certainly marry me, but it's a bit too early now. It'll take a while to wait for a suitable time..." Unwilling to show her weakness in front of Ning Caixian, Ning Xueqing raised her head proudly. "Do you believe this reason?" Ning Caixian asked in a gloomy way. Ning Xueqing opened her mouth and wanted to refute her. "Take me away and I'll help you. I will not recoil from death." Ning Caixian interrupted her words coldly again. She raised her head
"Miss, are you alright?" Seeing that her asking almost ran into trouble, the old maid hastened to apologize with regret and helped Yujie to pick Qin Wanru up. "I'm fine." Pulling herself together, Qin Wanru shook her head and said. She held Yujie's hands and stood still. Her eyes fell on the old maid standing in front of her, an old maid smiling with affinity. Although the clothes on the old maid were very simple, her bearing didn't look like that of common people. So, Qin Wanru couldn't help becoming cautious in her heart. In this capital city, there were lots of dignitaries, so nobody knew who they met before their eyes. "Madam, what's the matter?" The deep meaning in her eye vanishing, Qin Wanru asked gently. "You look so young and so weak. I'm really surprised to see you climbing this mountain right from there, so I come to ask if you want to take a rest." The old maid laughed. "So she has looked
"The Second Miss is here. What's the matter?" the old maid who could hardly stand still said with great shock. "Madam Dowager asks Second Miss to come to her place right away. Young Lady Qi has fainted down." The girl servant gasped for breath and wiped a handful of sweat. The old maid dared not delay and hurriedly made room for the girl servant to enter the door. "Qi Rongzhi has fainted down? When did she come here?" Qin Wanru asked in surprise as she demanded Yujie to pull up her hair, which had not yet been all dry. This time when she climbed the mountain she didn't take Qi Rongzhi. How could she faint down in the place of her grandma at this moment? Qin Wanru could make sure that this morning she did not hear anything about Qi Rongzhi. So her grandma shouldn't know that she had gone to Huaguang Temple. "Just now, Young Lady Qi arrived at Huaguang Temple and said she had something to talk to Madam Dowager. But
"Say it!" Qin Wanru sat down again and said with her peaceful eyes. Qi Rongzhi rolled her eyes and said, "Qin Wanru, does it have anything to do with you? You think that you are always childe Shao's savior after saving him once, don't you?" "You don't want to say it?" Ignoring her ridicule, Qin Wanru only raised her eyebrows and said lazily with obvious threat in her eyes. "Fine, fine. I'll tell you. This matter has nothing to do with me anyway!" Qi Rongzhi was not willing to spoil her affair because of Qin Yuru's business. "I walked with Qin Yuru that day. An old maid suddenly came out, saying that she was the maid of the Old Madam of Duke Xing's Mansion and asking Qin Yuru to go aside to have a talk. So Qin Yuru went aside with her maids to have a talk with the old maid. I wanted to listen to their conversation, but I failed to do that, because I was a bit far away from them. After the old maid left, Qin Yuru said that she wa
Qi Rongzhi was overjoyed, while Qin Wanru was thoughtful. "Just ask him to come over!" Qi Rongzhi said with great delight. She didn't expect that it would be so simple and Qin Yuru didn't lie to her. "Nanny Duan, ask the childe to come over a moment later!" Qin Wanru said. They almost spoke at the same time. "Yes, Second Miss!" Nanny Duan said, followed by the sound of leaving. Qi Rongzhi was so angry that she wanted to smash the teacup on the table. How dared an old maid ignore her? "Tidy up your Miss' room!" Qin Wanru stood up and turned to hide herself behind the curtain, while telling Chun Yi and Chun Xi. "You don't need to let down the curtain. The doctor should look at my complexion later," Qi Rongzhi said shyly. Qin Wanru paused, and then walked inside without a word. With her status, Qi Rongzhi really dared to dream of hooking up with him. In the last life, the reason why he mar
They walked out of the courtyard. Wen Xichi took the path on the left. After slight hesitation, Qin Wanru did not stop and went after him. Yujie followed her closely, keeping two steps away from her. After taking a few steps, they turned a corner at a junction and saw a bamboo forest. The wind blew through the bamboo leaves and made them undulate, inexplicably giving a sense of desolation. Wen Xichi kept walking forward slowly with his hand clasped behind his back. But he didn't walk quickly, which enabled Qin Wanru to catch up with him. They walked like this all the way. When they reached another turning, Wen Xichi finally stopped, turned his head and looked at Qin Wanru with some confusion. With a smile, Qin Wanru took two steps forward and bowed to him sideways. Qin Wanru raised her head, only to find Wen Xichi's eyes were still fixed on her face and he was still very confused. Embarrassed by his gaze, Qin Wanr
Wen Xichi nodded and looked up at the direction where Qin Wanru disappeared, feeling inexplicably agitated. Part of the reason why he came to Huaguang temple in advance this time was that he wanted to meet Qin Wanru earlier and make inquiries about the information. But he had found nothing up to now! It felt like the light smoke he couldn't grasp, making Wen Xichi uncomfortable. Yes, he felt very uncomfortable. Or we can say that he felt very terrible! He must find it out. As he thought, he turned around and strode away. Just as Qin Wanru walked into the yard with Yujie, she was stopped by Chun Yi with timidity. Qin Wanru originally intended to ignore Qi Rongzhi, but she still turned a corner and went to Qi Rongzhi's house after taking two steps. She thought that it must be a plot. Someone had passed the message to Qi Rongzhi, and there were even some plans, that she didn't know, behind this! After e
"Not yet. My leg just cramped up." Shao Wanru reached out to touch her calf, but her belly was too big to reach it.The Emperor reached out his strong hand and massaged her calf. The young and handsome Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. "Thankfully, you are not going to deliver the baby!"As soon as he said this, Chu Liuchen realized he had said something wrong. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that. It's good that you are not delivering the baby now."After saying that, he realized that something was wrong again and laughed.Shao Wanru laughed so hard that she couldn't speak. Since when did Chu Liuchen, who was as scheming and gloomy as a demon king, could not even speak clearly?"You're still laughing. Did I say anything wrong?" Chu Liuchen glared at her. However, with an elegant smile on his face, he didn't look domineering at all.Shao Wanru continued laughing happily. After a while, she s
Everything in the past had a cause, but this cause was concealed in many mists, so it appeared unreal.After reading the letter in her hand, Shao Wanru put it down with a trace of a smile across the corners of her eyes. She had been relieved of some things. Once she hoped that Qin Huaiyong would treat her like Qin Yuru.This was what she hoped for most in her last life. After all, at that time, she had always thought that she was Qin Huaiyong's biological daughter, and she had no idea that her identity had been seized by Qin Yuru. Right now, Shao Wanru didn't want to mention it again. After the rebirth, she found out the truth and could not be reluctant to get close to Qin Huaiyong anymore.The memories of her last life were fading away, and they become blurred in her eyes.Putting down the memorial in her hand, Shao Wanru smiled with an elegant and calm look in her eyes. "Madam, please pass my gratitude to Ningyuan Army Gen
Shui Ruolan followed the Nanny who led the way ahead and felt uneasy. Since she came to the capital, she occasionally associated with some Madams from aristocratic families. She would not attend their parties unless it was necessary.On the one hand, she always had a weak character. On the other hand, every time she joined them, some Madams always asked about Madam Di intentionally or unintentionally. They were polite to Shui Ruolan on the surface, but they sneered at her behind her back when talking about her.People in the capital thought that Madam Di was Qin Huaiyong's legal wife. Shui Ruolan was a divorced woman. How could she compare with a decent Madam from an aristocratic family? Her status was much lower than Madam Di's. Of course, there were some people who flattered her. They were two-bit nobodies who wanted to curry favor with Qin Huaiyong.This was the first time Shui Ruolan had entered the Palace since she came to the capit
"Yes, Her Highness fainted. Hurry up... Inform His Highness to go to see her. Mingqiu Nun is also there... Hurry up!" Yujie was so excited that she spoke incoherently."Are you stupid?" Xiao Xuanzi looked at Yujie as if she were a fool."Quick! It's true. Believe me." Yujie was overjoyed and kept urging."His Highness will get angry," Xiao Xuanzi reminded Yujie.Yujie blinked her eyes in confusion. "Go quickly. His Highness will be happy.""His Highness will be angry!" Xiao Xuanzi said loudly. He thought that Yujie was out of her mind. What nonsense she was talking about! Xiao Xuanzi had seen with his own eyes how his master treasured Princess Chen. Princess Chen fainted now, but Yujie said that Prince Chen would be happy. What could he be happy for?Xiao Xuanzi felt a chill on his back. He even thought that he might not be safe. Instead, this silly girl was giggling here.Yujie looked
The swing swayed slowly. Shao Wanru sat on it and slightly narrowed her clear eyes in the sun, enjoying the gentle breeze. After a shower, the sky cleared up. Under the blue sky, she felt quite pleasant.It was the third day since the violent political upheaval in the Palace. Everything had returned to the right path, and the Emperor had woken up. The Fake Dead Medicine was remarkably effective.Chu Qing planned to kill the Emperor and shift the blame onto Chu Liuyue. In the end, he occupied the Palace, but at the last moment, Chu Liuchen changed the ultimate outcome.Chu Qing was not the deceased emperor's son. As the truth was exposed, he became a surviving supporter of the previous dynasty.Consort Dowager Qing had an affair with the prince of the previous dynasty on the run and was pregnant. After that, she met the deceased emperor, who had come to wipe out the rebels. She seduced him and entered the Palace. Not long aft
Chu Liuyue looked at the Emperor indifferently. During this period, the Emperor often vomited blood. He was used to such a scene. He fainted again, but so what?He walked up to pull the Emperor up and said, "Father, you'd better write it carefully so as not to cause me more trouble..."The next moment, his hand paused before the Emperor. Abruptly, Chu Liuyue reached out to feel his breath, and his face changed drastically."Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Derong was terrified and looked at Chu Liuyue. Likewise, he reached out to feel the Emperor's breath and knelt on the ground in a panic. "His Majesty... passed away!"Chu Liuyue looked sullen and reached out to feel his breath again. He found it hard to believe that the Emperor would die of anger because of him. Although he had said he was not afraid of this result, it became more difficult for him to clear up such a messy situation when the Emperor died. Since he was in t
Lights of every palace in the imperial Palace went out at night. There was a great noise somewhere. When the first scream came, many people put on their clothes and lit the lights again.These women in the Palace looked ghastly pale. They wanted to hide elsewhere but couldn't find shelter in the darkness. They trembled and huddled together, not knowing what had happened. Anyway, it didn't sound like a good thing. How could such a lot of awful noise appear in the Palace? The first idea that came to many people was that a rebellion was happening.In the night, Zhaoyi Di hurriedly followed a eunuch carrying a lantern and went to a palace out of use.Chu Liuyue was sitting in the middle of the hall."Greetings, Your Highness!" Zhaoyi Di said."How is it going?" Chu Liuyue asked."Commandery Prince Cheng has taken some people to the Emperor's resting place!" Zhaoyi Di reported."Good, well d
"From the previous dynasty?" Shao Wanru looked up. Though she was surprised, she didn't show it. She had figured it out. But after confirming it, she was wide awake."Will the Empress Dowager be in danger? I'll go to the Palace every day in the next few days!" Shao Wanru suggested."No, it's too dangerous!" Chu Liuchen shook his head."It doesn't matter. I have helpers by my side and bracelets!" Shao Wanru reached out her hand and cutely shook it. There was a pair of glossy sapphire bracelets on her wrist. At a glance, they were not ordinary.Chu Liuchen said with his face darkening, "No!"Such a close-fitting concealed weapon should be the last resort. As long as he thought Shao Wanru would be in such a dangerous situation, he would not be at ease. "Let Qin Yiyan accompany my Imperial Grandmother!""But someone should accompany and protect Noble Consort Lan. If those people deal with her..." Shao W
"Master, there is something wrong with the sandalwood." Qi Jue pulled an incense stick out of the incense burner at hand.Chu Liuchen took it and frowned. "What's the problem?"Qi Jue replied with a serious look, "There is something added to it. If it is used for a long term, one will be mentally and physically exhausted, then lack strength, and spit out blood. If putting another ingredient into the medicine at this time, it is very likely to cause sudden death."On the bed, the Emperor leaned against Noble Consort Lan with a pale face. Just now, he spat out blood again, and he felt very uncomfortable all over.Noble Consort Lan stroked the Emperor hard while looking toward Chu Liuchen with her red eyes, but she did not speak."What was added?" Chu Liuchen asked sternly. He didn't trust the imperial physicians in the Palace, so he brought Qi Jue to the Palace. After entering the Palace, Qi Jue did not check the
