Yao Su was so angry that he asked, "Are you crazy? You think you are not a burden enough, and you want to continue to kill our whole family?" He used to think that Yao Qin's daughter was smart, but now he discovered her.
They have made me so arrogant that I have reached this point, but I still can't clearly see the situation in front of me.
"Who do you think you are? Who is the Queen Mother? Does she still need to give you this face?"
Yao Qin felt extremely wronged and shed even more tears, "I, I just want to help my parents."
How could she have imagined that the Queen Mother not only did not become more empathetic towards her, but instead became angry and even turned her anger on her?
While feeling aggrieved, she felt more panic and confusion. Did she not learn enough?
Yao Su endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. He stepped forward and slapped him, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down for me."
He was thinking about whether to write a book and ask the magistrate to hand it to the emperor. He had studied hard for many years in a humble life. Over the years, he had finally climbed to the position of Tongzhi. He also wanted to go further, but he was still unwilling to be knocked back to his original form.
At that time, Zhezi would say that these were the actions of two stupid women, Bai Shi and Qin'er, and that he was kept in the dark and didn't know anything. Even if he had the reputation of being lax in running the family, it would be better than becoming a commoner.
After having an idea, he gritted his teeth and made an angry expression. His voice became louder so that people outside the room could hear, "And Mrs. Bai, you also go and kneel together. I have been busy with political affairs over the years.
I neglected to discipline you, but I didn’t expect that if I didn’t pay attention, your hearts would grow up, and you would even go into such a catastrophic disaster behind my back. How did you let me gain a foothold in Baozhou? I have worked hard all my life, but it has ruined my life.
It’s on you two ignorant women!”
"I'm sorry, the Queen Mother, and I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't take care of you!"
Bai, who was already panicked, felt as if she had been thrown into a cold lake when she heard her husband's words. The coldness invaded her bone marrow and made her teeth chatter. She had been sleeping with Yao Su for many years, but she could not recognize Yao Su.
Su wanted to treat the mother and daughter as abandoned sons and throw all the blame on them. He himself was a good official who was innocent and loyal to the emperor and loved the people.
She felt as if her heart had been forcibly broken in half. The pain was so painful that she wanted to scream. She could only bite her lower lip until it bled, so as not to express her resentment towards him when she opened her mouth.
She also has a son, and for the sake of her son, she has no choice but to endure it.
Bai Shi endured it, but Yao Qin obviously couldn't. She showed a hurt expression of betrayal, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
It was obviously her father who first brought up this matter. Over the years, it was her father who asked her to learn the words and deeds of the Queen Mother's niece, to please the Queen Mother, and to enter the palace as a beloved concubine, so that her family could follow the chickens and dogs to heaven and become prosperous.
Otherwise, how could a little girl do these things?
Seeing that his daughter was not cooperating, Yao Su got angry and said, "Bring this rebellious girl to me quickly. If you don't repent, don't blame me for having someone beat you up!"
As he spoke later, his sinister-sounding voice became more threatening.
Mrs. Bai was still somewhat sincere towards her daughter. When she saw this, she quickly said: "Master, this is all done by me alone and has nothing to do with Qin'er. Qin'er is young and was coaxed by me."
"I will go to the ancestral hall with Qin'er to reflect."
After saying that, she grabbed her daughter's hand tightly and led her to the ancestral hall.
Yao Qin was not that stupid, and finally came to her senses.
She followed her mother with tears in her eyes, despair enveloped her.
Seeing that mother and daughter went to the ancestral hall to reflect on each other, Yao Su breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chen Bai, "I don't know what your sister told you, but I don't know what she did.
I didn't expect you to be so bold as to conspire with her to plot against the royal family."
Chen Bai didn't want to take the blame, so she gritted her teeth and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't expect that my sister would deceive even my younger sister. I thought she just wanted to please the Queen Mother and serve the noble lady better."
Yao Su was not very satisfied with her answer, but he also knew that Chen Bai was not his, and if he insisted on taking the blame on her, she would probably die.
He waved his hand and said, "I'll let someone explain it to my brother-in-law."
It's just that Yao Su didn't think about it. He used to be a colleague. As an official, he naturally overshadowed the Chen family, and the Chen family was willing to buy into it. But now and then, he lost his official title, and this time he also brought trouble to the Chen family. Chen
The family is full of resentment towards him, and the two families are still at odds over this matter.
After waiting for Chen Bai to be sent away, Yao Su returned to his study and began to prepare to write his excerpt.
…
In the evening, it started to rain lightly in Baozhou, and the weather turned from sultry and hot to cool.
Yao Qin and her mother Bai were in the ancestral hall because they were still wearing the thin clothes they had worn during the day. They almost didn't get cold in the middle of the night. Because no one was watching, neither mother nor daughter was kneeling. Bai said: "I'll go to hell with you."
Bring some clothes from the room and put them on."
She couldn't go back to her yard for fear of waking her husband.
Ms. Bai knew in her heart that her husband was afraid of trampling on their mother and daughter in the past few days to rebuild her innocent image. Even if she was resentful in her heart, she had to cooperate with him.
There is a huge difference in status between ordinary civilian wives and official wives. She can only try her best to restore her husband to official duties as soon as possible.
Yao Qin looked at her mother's back and tears fell down again. It had only been one day, but her status in the family had changed dramatically. In the evening, the servants even brought cold meals to the mother and daughter. It had been before.
, which servant dares to neglect her?
She seemed to see her miserable future, and the rebelliousness in her heart made her unwilling to give up.
She hasn't even let Prince Rong know her yet.
She was really unwilling.
"Are you going to just give up?"
An unfamiliar soft female voice sounded.
Yao Qin was startled and looked out the door subconsciously. There was no blood on her face and her voice was trembling, "Who? Who is pretending to be a ghost?"
"You've been asking about Prince Rong these past few days, haven't you?"
Yao Qin pursed her lips, wanting to stop this person and let him leave, but she was afraid of making a big fuss and attracting others. If her worries were to cause trouble, Su Yueling would not be able to spare her. Her current situation
It's already bad enough, and I don't want to fall any deeper.
"I can help you."
Yao Qin was stunned, and then saw a slim and graceful woman appearing in front of her. Her eyes widened slightly, "Yes, it's you!"
She recognized her as Aunt Qu, her uncle's new concubine some time ago. It was said that she was the adopted daughter of the Qu family of the great salt merchant. She was well-informed and well-loved by her uncle.
"You, why do you want to help me?"
Although my uncle doted on Aunt Qu before, he would not let her go because of the Bai family and Yao family behind her. Now that something happened to the Yao family and the Chen family was affected, I am afraid that the situation in the Chen family's back house will change.
Aunt Qu showed a charming smile, "Because we have someone we hate together."
