The eldest lady is both a doctor and a warrior, they love her so much

Qingshi's original name was Li Erya.

Her parents passed away when she was three years old, leaving her without the love and care of her parents.

Fortunately, she has an older brother, Li Dalei, who is a dozen years older than her and takes care of her like a father.

But things are unpredictable. Li Dalei later married a wife with bad character.

Before marriage, this woman pretended to be an honest person and looked very virtuous. However, after marriage, she gradually led Li Dalei into the abyss of gambling and gradually led Li Dalei astray.

As the saying goes, "If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather." This also applies to Qing Dynasty poetry.

When she was eight years old, Li Dalei and his wife became malicious and sold her to a human trafficker for only five taels of silver while she was sleeping.

From then on, she cut off ties with her family and felt as if she had been abandoned.

Just when Qingshi thought she was alone from now on, she didn't expect Li Dalei to come find her.

At the beginning, Li Dalei still had a certain affection for her deep in his heart.

Therefore, when he learned that Qingshi had entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was ecstatic, thinking that even without him, at least Li Erya could have enough food and clothing.

But later, at the instigation of his daughter-in-law, he felt that he had finally found an opportunity to extort money from her.

Qingshi was young and ignorant at that time. She responded to her elder brother's request without hesitation. She thought her elder brother was thinking about her and completely forgot that it was her elder brother who caused her to become a slave.

She didn't know the interests involved, she just felt that she should help her relatives.

So, she gave her meager savings to her eldest brother, but she didn't know that this was just the beginning...

But she was young at the time and had never seen so much money. Plus, she trusted her elder brother very much, so when her elder brother said he would help her keep the money, she agreed without thinking.

At that time, her monthly salary was not much. As a second-class maid, she only received one hundred coins per month, which was equivalent to one thousand coins, but less than one tael of silver.

Even so, she would still give most of the money to her eldest brother for safekeeping.

In this way, unknowingly, her eldest brother's appetite gradually grew.

By the time she came to her senses and understood all this, it was too late.

The reason they came to her house this time was because her eldest brother's child caught a cold and needed to see a doctor and buy medicine, but the family simply couldn't afford the money.

The few cents she had were all gambled away by her sister-in-law.

As the saying goes, "Nine out of ten gamblers lose." The situation at home was getting worse and worse. The child was sick and no one took care of him, so her eldest brother thought of Qingshi.

But now Qingshi has grown up and has her own opinions and ideas. She is no longer willing to give all her monthly allowance to her eldest brother like she did when she was a child, so she was beaten by her eldest brother.

The wounds on the body could be covered up, but the slap marks on the face were very obvious.

"Does the doorman in our mansion eat for free? Is he going to watch you get beaten?" Chunqin was a little angry. After all, such a thing was not glorious.

Qingshi said with red eyes: "There is a bamboo forest in the back of the mansion. There is a part of the wall behind the bamboo forest that has collapsed a lot. I always go out from there because I think my eldest brother's deeds are not glorious, but he is my eldest brother after all!"

Xia Qi was shocked. How could this be possible?

How do the patrollers do their work?

You don’t even know the wall is broken?

It can only be said that Hua Xin spent most of his time outside, and the people in the mansion were more or less slack. In addition, the bamboo forest at the back mountain is so large that no one would go there for no reason. Even daily patrols were just a formality, and no one really noticed that the wall had collapsed.

Qingshi was also awakened now. She looked at Chunqin and then at Xia Qi, feeling a little frightened.

"My two dear sisters, please don't tell the eldest lady! I will just ignore him from now on."

Haruko frowned, "Are you so afraid of the young lady?"

Qingshi shook her head, tears falling down her cheeks. "No, it's just that I'm afraid that if the young lady knew about this, she would definitely be angry and might even blame me. Besides, my eldest brother..."

At this point, Qingshi started crying again, "I was raised by my eldest brother. They say that an elder brother is like a father. My eldest brother was forced to do this. If he hadn't married a bad sister-in-law, he wouldn't have gambled."

Chunqin and Xia Qi looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Forget it, since you don't want the young lady to know, then we won't tell you. But you have to remember, don't sneak out again next time. What if something happens?" Chunqin sighed and comforted.

Qingshi nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, sisters. I understand. I will never do it again."

"Well, that's good, but you should also pay more attention to your own safety and don't get hurt like today again." Xia Qi touched the wound on Qingshi's face with heartache, and then applied medicine to her.

Qingshi was filled with gratitude, "Thank you, sisters. I will be careful."

Seeing Qingshi's pitiful appearance, Chunqin and Xiaqi felt soft-hearted and decided to help her keep the matter secret so as not to make Hua Xin angry.

But they also know that this is not a long-term solution and they must find a way to solve this problem.

It is said that trivial matters are of great importance, and Qingshi's affairs were eventually discovered by Hua Xin.

It turned out that after Li Dalei found out that Qingshi ignored him, he wanted to find her, but he went around the princess's mansion and couldn't find a way to get in, so he could only come to the gate of the princess's mansion and make a scene.

The first time he was driven away, he went back in disappointment.

After all, there are always people who pretend to be relatives of the servants in the mansion to ask for money, but they give up after being driven away once.

As a result, he came with his wife the second time, but was driven away again. However, his wife refused to accept it and started yelling and was almost beaten. In the end, Butler Zhang stepped in.

After asking around, I found out that they were Qingshi's elder brother and sister-in-law.

But who is Butler Zhang?

It was obvious from their posture that these two people were not good people. They said they wanted to keep them, but in fact they found Ye Lansheng's guards and drove them out.

Li Dalei couldn't stand this anymore. He felt that Qingshi was behind it. Who knows what happened next, Qingshi had no idea at all.

The third time, they carried their sick son directly to the gate of the princess's mansion, crying and making a fuss. Hua Moxuan, who had returned, happened to see them and learned the whole story.

In Fengyang Palace, Qingshi knelt in front of Hua Xin, her eyes red, but she dared not speak.

Hua Xin also listened to the general idea and roughly understood what was going on.

"Qingshi, let me ask you one question, do you still want to recognize such a brother and sister-in-law?"

Qingshi suddenly looked up at Hua Xin, moved her lips, but said nothing.
