She walked around the desk and asked Chuntao to get her a fox fur cloak.
Chuntao hurriedly wiped away her tears, put on Bai Qingyan's fox fur, and walked out the door before hesitatingly asking: "Miss, what should I do with Chunyan?! Or... send her away?"
She took a deep breath and managed to suppress the anger in her heart. It wasn't time yet, so Chunyan would be useful if she kept it.
She knew very well the viciousness of Prince Liang, and also knew the methods of Du Zhiwei, the counselor beside Prince Liang. If she sent Chunyan away, Du Zhiwei and Prince Liang would find other people in the Duke's palace to lure her away.
, human nature is the most untestable thing, and she cannot afford to gamble at this critical juncture.
She was so blind in her previous life that she pretended to be smart. She believed that Chunyan was eating everything for the benefit of her master, so she tried her best to speak good words for Prince Liang in front of her.
She stood under the verandah, holding the stove in her hand tightly, thinking for a moment, then raised her eyes with a cold look on her face: "I won't kill her, you bring her to the front yard."
Chuntao's eyes burst into tears as soon as she heard this. She thought it was her plea that had put Bai Qingyan in a difficult position, so she choked and said, "Miss, I..."
She had a severe headache, and strong tiredness came over her. She didn't want to be entangled in Chunyan's affairs anymore, so she tightened her cloak, braced herself, and walked toward the front yard.
The King of Liang sent someone to give her a jade pendant to promise her the title of concubine, and he came to visit her in person before she recovered from a serious injury. It seemed that he would not give up on using her for military exploits.
Her frail body made it difficult for Prince Liang to be so "unyielding" to her, but she would rather die than fight for him again!
In order to prevent Prince Liang from being a ruthless and shameless villain who used her reputation as a raft to force her into Prince Liang's house, she had to bribe Prince Liang's servants three times today.
The matter of inviting her to see her twice was brought to the public, and everyone knew about it and left no room for it. Only by letting everyone see her hatred of the shameless man's methods and tricks, could the Prince of Liang be brought down.
His thoughts were trampled to death and destroyed, so that he did not dare to act rashly.

Outside the back corner door of the Duke's Mansion, a seemingly ordinary carriage was parked next to a tree, and coughing sounds could be heard from time to time in the carriage.
Tong Ji put his hands in his sleeves and pressed his head against the back corner door of the Duke's Mansion. He eagerly peered through the crack in the door and saw no sign of anyone coming. He felt anxious and cold and kept stamping his feet.
There was another heartbreaking coughing sound in the carriage, and Tong Ji hurriedly came back and got on the carriage, gently handed over to Prince Liang, with an unhappy look on his face: "This eldest girl from the Bai family really doesn't know how to show appreciation, Your Highness.
The position of the principal concubine was given to someone who might not have any heirs, and she actually dared to shirk it! Your Highness, if you really want this Miss Bai... just ask the Queen to make a decree to give her the position of a side concubine.
, you are so seriously injured, why bother to come here in person today! She is so flattered that she doesn’t know how high the heavens are!"
King Liang clenched his fist with one hand and coughed a few times. He hugged the brocade quilt covering his body, stretched out a hand to warm the fire, and whispered: "What do you know!"
He must not forcibly carry Bai Qingyan into Prince Liang's palace until there is nothing he can do. He needs Bai Qingyan's ability to make Bai Qingyan willing to obey him.
Yesterday, Bai Qingyan neatly dealt with the concubine who was not recorded in the genealogy of the Duke's Palace in the long street. Now that it was widely spread that Bai Qingyan was a woman who was not inferior to men, and was strong and strong, he could not neglect Bai Qingyan even more.
Thinking about Bai Qingyan's alienation from him during this period, King Liang always felt that there was something fishy. He couldn't feel at ease unless he met Bai Qingyan in person.
King Liang was still waiting in the carriage at the back corner gate. The off-duty stewards, servants, wives, and maids of the Duke's Mansion all gathered in the front yard. There were also boards prepared in the front yard. The servants looked at each other in panic.
You don't know what's going on, and you're on pins and needles.
A steward came forward to ask Butler Hao, but Butler Hao just stood on the high floor and remained silent.
Regarding the several times that King Liang asked his subordinates to meet Bai Qingyan at Houjiaomen and give him jade as a gift, Bai Qingyan did not hide it and told Mrs. Dong everything.
Mrs. Dong felt quite happy when she heard it at first, but when she thought about it carefully, if Prince Liang was really interested in her, he could have come to the Duke's Mansion to ask for the elders' intentions openly. Bai Qingyan had no engagement and sent a matchmaker. This was
She respects Bai Qingyan, but he frequently bribes people in the Duke's palace to invite private meetings. This is demeaning her daughter. If things go wrong, Bai Qingyan's reputation will be ruined. Mrs. Dong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
When it comes to the Duke's palace, as the mistress of the family, Mrs. Dong is very aware of the seriousness of it. It has always been Xiao Qiang's fault. Even though she has been closed for many years, she still needs to be severely punished.
Mrs. Dong made a quick decision and asked a few people to come over. Then she and Bai Qingyan came to the front yard.
The servants, maids, and maids Wu Yangyang were all standing in the huge front yard. When they saw Grandma Qin supporting the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Dong, followed by the eldest girl Bai Qingyan, Mang Huang hurriedly said hello.
Mrs. Dong's sharp phoenix eyes swept over the servants and girls in the yard. She sat down on a chair in the corridor and asked, "Is Ren Yazi here?"
Butler Hao stepped forward and saluted Mrs. Dong: "Go back to Madam, you are already here."
Mrs. Dong nodded, turned her head and told Butler Hao: "Bring the people here!"
Soon, Xiao Si, who had gone to the back corner door of Prince Liang's Mansion to report the news, the old woman who handed Chunyan the jade pendant, and the old woman who was knocked unconscious by Yin Shuang's punch today, were all tied up.
When Na Xiaosi saw this battle, his calves trembled, and he knelt down and begged: "Mrs. Shizi, please have mercy! This slave is obsessed with money. In addition to helping spread the news between Prince Liang and Miss Chunyan, I take it seriously."
You haven’t done anything to harm our government!”
When the old woman who was knocked unconscious this morning heard this, she banged her head on the floor: "Old slave...Old slave just accepted Prince Liang's money and gave Prince Liang's small pieces to Miss Chunyan.
Send a message!"
"This old slave is just calling Miss Chunyan for Xiao Si next to His Highness Prince Liang! This old slave only called Miss Chunyan once!" The woman who handed Chunyan the jade pendant knelt down for two steps.
"Miss Chunyan! Miss Chunyan, please say something!"
Chunyan, who was standing next to Bai Qingyan, remembered what Chuntao had said about Mingyu just now. Her legs went weak and she immediately knelt down, sweating profusely: "Madam, big girl! Servant... Servant..."
Mrs. Dong picked up the tea handed over by Nanny Qin and glanced at Chunyan with phoenix eyes. She was filled with anger. If her daughter hadn't begged for mercy before she came...she would have had Chunyan, a wretched maid, dragged down and raped today.
Beat to death!
"What message did you all convey to Chunyan, and what message did Chunyan ask you to convey to Prince Liang's Mansion? You all told the truth one by one." Bai Qing didn't seem to be annoyed at all. She sat down and asked slowly.
