To get to where she is today, she has sacrificed too much and sacrificed too much. She cannot make an irreversible decision just because of her lack of forbearance at this moment.
Bai Ruiyi bit her lip so hard that her nails were digging into her flesh. In the end, she didn't resist. She just raised her head with some tears in the corners of her eyes. "Mother, I really don't know what mistake I made to make my mother so angry." Furious.”
"My mother-in-law also knows that I am stupid by nature. If I do something wrong, please ask my mother-in-law for advice. Don't make yourself so angry."
Lin Qingwan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, why would a person as forbearing as Bai Ruiyi have to destroy his good cards? Usually this kind of person is the final winner and controls everything behind the scenes, but obviously, she did not make good use of her advantage.
Next to him, Prince Jin was even more anxious. Seeing his delicate and frail princess being treated like this by his own mother, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He strode forward and knelt down beside Bai Ruiyi, "Mother concubine, if Ruiyi really made any mistake, you can teach her well and not do this."
"She has always been weak. She just caught the cold a few days ago, and she is like this today. I'm afraid she will get seriously ill again when she goes back." The man thought for a moment, and then continued: "If the concubine really wants to punish people, then Just punish me. Husband and wife are originally one body, and whatever mistakes Rui Yi makes are my mistakes."
Seeing her son protecting another woman in this way, Concubine De naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
But what she was most angry about today was that Bai Ruiyi had been pretending to be in front of her for so long. She originally thought that she had really changed her mind and treated her son wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that she was just putting on a show for herself.
His son was fooled around by this woman, and in the end he had to refute himself here. After spending so many years in the harem, how could Concubine De not see what Bai Ruiyi was thinking? How could he tolerate such a woman treating herself like a fool?
"Get out of my way!" She scolded Prince Jin, with an angry expression on her face and an even sharper voice.
King Jin's pupils dilated, he didn't expect that his mother-in-law would say such harsh words to him.
He subconsciously opened his mouth, but nothing came out, as if he was blocked.
Bai Rui, who was standing next to her, agreed and quickly stretched out her hand to pull Prince Jin's sleeves, making a considerate appearance and said, "Your Majesty, I must have done something wrong to make my mother and concubine so angry. You don't have to worry about me. , this is what I should be punished for."
She still looked pitiful and allowed to be bullied. King Jin felt even more distressed when he saw her, but he was unable to compete with Concubine De. Coupled with the fact that he has been subject to strict requirements since he was a child, Concubine De's insults are simply a nightmare for him.
But at this moment, the childhood nightmare extended from the depths of his mind, trapping his hands and feet bit by bit, and he couldn't break free no matter what.
Bai Ruiyi grabbed one of his arms and pulled it, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. My mother and concubine are angry at the moment. Maybe it will be fine in a while..."
"It's better not to have any conflict with Concubine De. After all, you are your biological mother and son. Concubine De does whatever she says is for the good of the prince. As long as the prince can do well, I will do anything for you."
The more she talked, the more she described herself as pitiful and humble, as if she could bear no matter what grievance she suffered.
King Jin despised Bai Ruiyi's appearance the most, and he felt a little more pity for the woman in his heart.
"Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?" Seeing that the two of them were still whispering, Concubine De was extremely angry, "Come here, please take the prince aside and watch carefully!"
The two eunuchs looked at each other and complained in their hearts.
How do they do such an errand? Either she offended the King of Jin, or she was a virtuous concubine.
The two of them gritted their teeth and after weighing the situation, they finally chose Concubine De's side. They slowly walked towards Prince Jin and said cautiously: "Your Highness, you'd better go aside and watch. Don't make Concubine De angry again."
King Jin wanted to refute but was helpless. In the end he had to stand up and looked back at Bai Ruiyi several times before making up his mind.
"Do you know what mistake you made today?" Concubine De's eyes stayed on Bai Ruiyi's face, her tone was cold and terrifying.
Bai Ruiyi felt like a mirror in her heart. She moved her throat slightly and acted confused, "Concubine, Ruiyi really doesn't know... I really don't know where I made a mistake, which makes Concubine so angry..."
"Okay, I will tell you then!" The middle-aged woman was full of dignity and raised her hand to the nanny beside her. The nanny raised her head and glanced outside the door. A little palace maid was pushed in by two people.
Bai Ruiyi glanced sideways and blurted out: "Xiaoyu..."
"This is one of your dowry maids, am I right?" Concubine De's voice was cold.
Since she didn't know what Concubine Da was going to do, Bai Ruiyi was extra careful when admitting it, and even prepared the ground for herself, "It is true that she is my personal maid, but... But Xiaoyu has disappeared for several days, why? Will it be here with the mother-in-law?"
Concubine De sneered, and the nun next to her immediately looked at Xiaoyu, "Say it!"
Probably because of excessive fear, Xiaoyu's whole body was trembling and her face turned pale.
After hearing these two words, my body was even more excited, as if I had been electrocuted.
She didn't dare to turn her head to look at Bai Ruiyi, but kept kowtowing to Concubine De, "Concubine De, although our young lady still keeps the things given by His Highness the King of War, but... But now she really cares about His Highness the King of Jin. Be single-minded and have no other ideas!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Ruiyi's whole body stiffened, her breathing became a little heavy, and she tried not to turn her head to look at Xiao Yu.
What exactly does Concubine De want to do? Are you going to kill her in front of so many people?
"Mother, I dare to swear on my life that my princess is really not the kind of person to court Qin Muchu!" Xiaoyu shouted again, tears running down her cheeks, and her breathing was a little short.
Prince Jin, who had just sat down next to him, frowned and subconsciously moved forward, "What did you just say? What was the gift from the King of War...?"
Bai Ruiyi couldn't be stable anymore. She dared to be so confident before just because she had already controlled King Jin, but she knew that there was always a knot in her husband's heart, which was her previous relationship with Xuan Qianchen. .
If it was known that she still kept the things Xuan Qianchen gave her, Prince Jin would really be completely disappointed in her, and in the end he would never even stand on her side again.
No, no! This must not happen!
