Maybe it was because he hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, or maybe he had been frightened at night. This night, Bai Yanqing had a very uneasy sleep. He always had nightmares and was sweating all over.
The next morning.
After Cai Xing called out repeatedly, Bai Yanqing opened her eyes leisurely.
"Star picking..."
Bai Yanqing's voice was hoarse, with exhaustion and forbearance in her voice.
"Miss, you are sick!"
Seeing this, Cai Xing knew that Bai Yanqing was sick again.
Bai Yanqing has not been in good health since she was a child. She cannot be tired or surprised. Cai Xing only thought that she was so sick because she hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. How did she know what happened in Bai Yanqing's room last night?
"Caixing, please report this to the master and call a doctor for you."
Cai Xing became anxious and started to run out. But Bai Yanqing grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
"Go and report to the old lady."
Bai Yanqing closed her eyes weakly and didn't explain much.
Cai Xing didn't go into details. She knew that since her young lady spoke, she must have her own ideas.
In order to prevent Bai Yanqing from being left unattended, Cai Xing hurriedly called Lian'er in the courtyard and ordered her to reply to Mrs. Ren, while he stayed in the house to take care of Bai Yanqing.
But until noon, Lian'er didn't appear.
Cai Xing was a little anxious now. Why did he go to reply to the doctor and not see anyone for several hours?
Caixing then immediately called Aunt Zhao and asked her to go and find out more.
Not long after, Aunt Zhao came back and replied: Lian'er accidentally broke the old lady's beloved tea cup, and was punished by the old lady to kneel in the courtyard.
"Then...does the old lady in the hospital know that the young lady is sick?"
Although Cai Xing knew what was going on, he still couldn't help but ask more questions. She understands better than anyone else that Mrs. Bai is probably deliberately trying to embarrass the young lady!
Seeing Aunt Zhao nodding in embarrassment, Cai Xing was so angry that he wanted to go to Ren's courtyard and tear her apart!
How can there be such a grandmother who doesn't care about her granddaughter's life or death?
"Star picking..."
Hearing Bai Yanqing's weak cry inside the house, Cai Xing turned around and rushed towards the house in a hurry.
Bai Yanqing tilted her head, coughed a few times, then took Cai Xing's hand and stood up with difficulty.
"Shower and change clothes."
It took some effort to shout these four simple words from the sick Bai Yanqing.
Although Cai Xing didn't know what Bai Yanqing was going to do, he still followed Bai Yanqing's instructions and prepared hot water and clean clothes for her.
A simple and elegant moon-white dress wrapped around the sickly Bai Yanqing, making her face look increasingly pale and haggard.
How could Bai Yanqing not understand the meaning of Ren's gesture?
Apparently he was punishing Lian'er, but in reality he was holding a grudge against the bed tent and wanted to warn Bai Yanqing! With Bai Jingxuan's previous aggressive war, Ren could no longer openly make things difficult for Bai Yanqing. However, it is not difficult to secretly punish the people in Bai Yanqing's courtyard.
"Go and find out when father will return home."
Bai Yanqing managed to steady herself, and then spoke calmly, asking Cai Xing to inquire about Bai Jingxuan's itinerary.
Bai Yanqing knew very well that with Ren's petty mind and vindictive temperament, she would never let go of the bed tent incident. Therefore, Bai Yanqing must stop her evil intentions and prevent her from running rampant in the Bai Mansion!
After so many years, it’s time for Mr. Ren to rest and take care of himself. This huge White House should have had a new person in charge of internal affairs!
Not long after, Cai Xing came back and answered.
It was said that the Prime Minister had returned to the mansion in the morning, and then went out to do some errands. After asking the concierge, he said that the Prime Minister would probably not be able to return until dark in the evening.
It's dark? Then there is no rush, we have to wait for a few hours!
Although Bai Yanqing had a headache and fever, it was not a serious illness. She was just frightened last night. Fortunately, her appetite was still good. She drank some soup and felt a little more energetic, then she took Cai Xing to Ren's courtyard.
There are people on the way, and Bai Yanqing always leans on the stars, looking weak and about to fall. Inadvertently, a few strands of hair were messed up, making him look even more haggard.
Someone who wanted to help Cai Xing came forward and wanted to help Cai Xing support Bai Yanqing, but Cai Xing stopped them all. He said: Miss is seriously ill, and she is afraid of passing on her illness to others.
Now, the entire Bai Mansion knew that Bai Yanqing was sick!
Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing walked for almost half an hour in a journey that was less than half a stick of incense!
When they arrived in front of Ren's courtyard, Bai Yanqing was not in a hurry to go in. She and Cai Xing stood in front of the courtyard for about half an hour, making sure that all the servants in the mansion could see it, and then she moved in reluctantly.
Of course, Mrs. Ren knew that Bai Yanqing was coming, but she deliberately made things difficult for Bai Yanqing, so even though her servants reported back, she did not pay attention and did not let Bai Yanqing hurry into the house.
"Greetings to Grandma."
Bai Yanqing, who was supported by Cai Xing, still bowed respectfully to say hello when she saw Ren.
"Well, since you are sick, why did you come to my hospital? Why don't you have a good rest?"
Ren's opening played right into Bai Yanqing's wish.
"Yan Qing came to ask my grandmother to be kind and spare Lian'er. If she damaged my grandmother's belongings, my granddaughter will pay for it."
Bai Yanqing only said that she came to ask Ren to forgive Lian'er, but she didn't answer a word of Ren's words about letting her rest, and just acted as if she hadn't heard anything.
At this time, Bai Yanqing was standing in Ren's courtyard when she was talking to Ren. The courtyard door was wide open, and their conversation could be heard clearly by anyone passing by outside the courtyard.
As if it was specially placed for Bai Yanqing to see, there was a porcelain tea cup with several broken pieces on the ground in the center of the courtyard. Bai Yanqing glanced sideways a few times. It was just an ordinary celadon cup, not worth a few copper coins.
According to the past, this was just a few scoldings and a deduction from the girl's monthly routine. Duan Duan would not leave the girl in the courtyard and kneel down for such a long time.
Looking at Lian'er shivering in the courtyard, Bai Yanqing felt a little distressed. Looking at the faint traces of blood under her thin dress, she thought that having to kneel for so long had really caused her a lot of suffering.
Ren vented all her resentment towards Bai Yanqing on Lian'er, so naturally she would not let her kneel down comfortably. Sharp stones, uneven ground. Ren specially selected those places where there were many stones and asked Lian'er to kneel down. After kneeling for so long, Lian'er's knees may need some rest.
Bai Yanqing first found a place to sit under the shade of a tree in Ren's courtyard with Cai Xing's support. After all, the sun is shining brightly on this summer afternoon!
Then, Bai Yanqing signaled Cai Xing to help Lian'er up. Sure enough, there were a lot of blood stains on Lian'er's dress at her knees. Bai Yanqing couldn't bear it, so she summoned an old woman who was watching the fun outside the hospital and asked her to send Lian'er back first.
"How dare you, who asked you to take that girl away without permission?"
Mrs. Ren obviously didn't care about Lian'er's life or death, she only wanted to show off to Bai Yanqing.
Seeing Bai Yanqing disobeying her and taking her away so easily, how could Mrs. Ren not hate her?
"It's just a worthless tea cup. Does grandma really want to kill someone before she is willing to give up?"
The dense shade of trees covered part of the heat, and at the same time, it also covered Bai Yanqing's violent aura at that time.
She is not temperless, she just wants to save some face for Ren. Let him not do anything too extreme!
But how could the angry Ren family withstand Bai Yanqing's provocation? Immediately I will call someone and call him: Family Heirloom. What a lesson to this ignorant granddaughter!
Family heirloom? Ha, interesting! It turns out that Mrs. Ren is waiting for her here!
Bai Yanqing just wants to laugh, Ren is getting old after all! At this moment, her brain must have been steamed away by the hot heat, right? !
Bai Yanqing was not upset, she just sat and slowly spent time with Mr. Ren.
After all, she had learned a lesson from the bed tent incident. Ren was a little worried when the thunder was loud and the rain was light. The family law has been passed down for a long time, but no one dares to actually come forward with a stick! Ren took it as a step to give herself a chance and didn't rush her!
But how could Bai Yanqing just let her go like this?
As another hour passed, the sky gradually became darker. Bai Yanqing guessed that Bai Jingxuan was about to return home, so she spoke again.
"Grandma, don't be upset. No matter what, today's mistakes are all my granddaughter's fault. I will apologize to you now."
After saying that, he stood up with some difficulty.
Cai Xing also had quick eyes and quick hands. He stepped forward and held Bai Yanqing firmly.
Bai Yanqing weakly pushed Cai Xing a few times, then "popped" and knelt down in front of Ren.
This frightened Ms. Ren: What kind of trouble is this stinky girl trying to do? When did he say that he would punish her by kneeling down?
"Caixing, let's go and take a look. Is Jifa 'returning'?"
Bai Yanqing pointed out something, especially emphasizing the word "come back".
Cai Xing understood instantly.
She hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, first to the gate, and repeatedly told the concierge that when the master came back, he must go to the old lady's courtyard. He also said that the old lady wanted to take care of the young lady, but the young lady was weak and couldn't bear it. She was afraid that if the master came back late, the young lady's life would be lost!
Not to mention Bai Yanqing's current status in the family, the concierge did not dare to ignore the fact that she was the emperor's chosen princess! After all, if Bai Yanqing is really gone, the whole Bai Mansion will be affected!
After the concierge finished explaining, Cai Xing went to "pass on the family method" without any haste! If she steps slower, her young lady can hold on a little longer.
As for Furong Pavilion, Bai Furong, mother and daughter, were a little panicked when they heard that the Ren family wanted to pass down the family law to serve Bai Yanqing. After all, they were afraid that the matter would end badly. Now whether Lai Feiyan can enter the palace depends on Bai Yanqing!
Both Bai Furong and Lai Bizhi understand this, but Lai Feiyan, who is obsessed with trying to rectify Bai Yanqing, doesn't understand!
With excitement on her face, Lai Feiyan took her sister Lai Bizhi and her mother Bai Furong and headed to Ren's yard! She didn't want to miss such a good show!
When they arrived, the only people they saw were Bai Yanqing kneeling on the ground and Ren sitting on a high chair beside her.
"Mother, this..."
Bai Furong was a little hesitant, not sure whether to plead for Bai Yanqing.
"She wants to kneel by herself, let her kneel!"
Ren was still angry at the moment, so she couldn't care less. Since this girl took the initiative to seek punishment today, how could Mr. Ren let her go?
"I heard from my servant that sister Yan Qing is ill today, and I wanted to go with Fei Yan to have a look."
Lai Bizhi, who had always been reticent, spoke up for the first time.
After all, she was smart, and she immediately pointed out Bai Yanqing's illness. Perhaps because she was a little afraid of Mrs. Ren, she did not directly persuade Mrs. Ren. Instead, she started talking about Bai Yanqing's illness to wake up Mrs. Ren and told her that Bai Yanqing was sick and it was not appropriate to bother her like this.
Bai Yanqing's lowered head was slightly shaken.
She knew that among the Lai sisters, Lai Feiyan lacked brains, while Lai Bizhi lacked courage!
