"What nonsense!" Bai Ying also felt that Aunt Chen's speculation was outrageous, so she told her what happened in the hall today.

Aunt Chen was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She glanced at Shen Qingyu beside her and whispered, "Madam, from what I see, what happened today might not be done by Aunt Xu. Maybe someone sold her out. Our Second Miss has been staying in the mansion all the time, never leaving the house, and hasn't offended anyone. It's because Aunt Liu doesn't get along with you, Madam, that she uses these despicable means to harm others."

Bai Ying also had a hint of hatred in her heart, "How could I not know that they have evil intentions?"

"If the Second Miss hadn't been smart and quick-witted and escaped the danger today, she would have fallen into the trap and been in big trouble." Aunt Chen said with lingering fear.

Aunt Chen was not there at the time, so she didn't know what happened, but Bai Ying knew it clearly. "Qing Yu, how did you know the contents of The Great Dao Theory? And you are so familiar with it?"

What? Are you going to cause trouble for her again?

Shen Qingyu found a place to sit down casually, and her attitude changed greatly. "How do I know the contents of "Dao Lun"? Is it important? Instead of thinking about these things, you should spend more time on Hong'er. Curing his illness is the key. Otherwise, even if I know more about Taoism and Buddhism, I can't save Hong'er's life."

"How dare you!" Bai Ying felt offended. "How dare you talk to me? Do you have any manners at all?"

Aunt Chen next to her was also startled. She didn't expect Shen Qingyu to suddenly change his previously reserved personality and become sharp-tongued.

"Rules. I have used up all my rules just now. I didn't forget that Aunt Xu was trying to frame me. When the fake Taoist priest proposed to send me away, you didn't say a word for me. I should remember it correctly."

The look on Shen Qingyu's face was half a smile, which made Bai Ying feel a little guilty, and she didn't dare to meet Shen Qingyu's gaze.

"Since mother doesn't care about her daughter's life or death, there is nothing more for her to say."

Listening to Shen Qingyu's slightly sarcastic and slightly careless voice, Bai Ying was furious, "Shen Qingyu, I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. Don't forget that I risked my life to give birth to you. If I hadn't risked my life to give birth to you, you wouldn't have come into this world at all."

If the real Shen Qingyu knew that she would have to face a life of being ignored by her father and mother from the moment she was born, and that she was destined to be a stepping stone for others, perhaps she would not want to appear in this world.

"Yes, doesn't my daughter have no choice? Maybe it's because of the deep sins in my previous life that I was reincarnated into your belly." Seeing Bai Ying reaching out to hit her, Shen Qingyu dodged lightly, "Mom, don't forget that I'm still injured."

Bai Ying's hand was suspended in the air. When Shen Qingyu was injured, it was to protect her. Now he said such words to anger her.

"After all, we are mother and daughter, connected by blood and bones. Is it possible that my daughter would do what Aunt Xu did and harm her mother?" Shen Qingyu's words were full of thorns, mocking Bai Ying's timid behavior today, which made her look like a villain.

Bai Ying was extremely angry, but she couldn't hit or scold her. If Shen Qingyu hadn't helped today, it would have been a difficult task to drag Aunt Xu into this. If Taoist Qingyun hadn't insisted on killing Aunt Xu, she could have pinned the blame on Aunt Liu and gotten rid of this big worry.

But seeing Shen Qingyu like this, she got angry, "You unfilial thing!"

Shen Youhong, who was standing next to her, had an aggrieved look on his face. He reached out and tugged at Bai Ying's sleeve, "Mom, stop arguing with your sister."

Bai Ying's anger instantly disappeared. She was too lazy to argue with Shen Qingyu. She reached out and touched Shen Youhong's face. "I didn't expect that the relationship between you two siblings has become better and better?"

Shen Qingyu's gaze towards Shen Youhong softened a little. He didn't want to waste any more time on Bai Ying.

"Mom, I still have things to do here, why don't you lend me Miss Lin Zhi who is beside you?"

Bai Ying didn't refuse, she gave her a look and said, "Go ahead."

After Lin Zhi obeyed the order, she followed Shen Qingyu.

Shen Qingyu stood up quickly and neatly, with a smile on her lips. Her ordinary face now had a bright and flamboyant look, which made her look more beautiful.

After Shen Qingyu left, Aunt Chen spoke, "Madam, I think the Second Miss is different from before."

In the past, Shen Qingyu would never dare to speak like this in front of Bai Ying. But now, she made Bai Ying very angry. She even dared to dodge when Bai Ying came to punish her. She was really bold to talk back to her own mother.

Bai Ying smiled contemptuously, "What she is like depends on her own luck. If she is still the useless piece of mud, then she has no right to yell in front of me."

Aunt Chen said, "After all, she is your biological daughter. She has your pride and temperament since she was young. If the second young lady is more beautiful, I think she won't be much worse."

Bai Ying frowned and snorted, "Sometimes I really doubt whether she is my daughter. My Bai family is a family of aristocrats, and our appearance is not inferior to others. The Shen family is upright and dignified, but she is plain-looking."

His tone was full of disappointment.

Aunt Chen had served Bai Ying for many years and knew a little about Bai Ying's thoughts. When Bai Ying was pregnant, she was anxious because Aunt Liu was pregnant before her. If Aunt Liu gave birth to the eldest son, it would be a step down for her, and Bai Ying was naturally unwilling to do that.

Although both of them gave birth to daughters later, Shen Chuanhe's attitude hurt Bai Ying's heart. Between Aunt Liu and Bai Ying, Shen Chuanhe stayed with Aunt Liu more. Bai Ying refused to admit that she was not as good as Aunt Liu, so she directed the blame at Shen Qingyu.

That could only be because her daughter was not as good as the daughter born to Aunt Liu, so she couldn't keep Shen Chuanhe.

Aunt Chen comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. I think the second young lady is sensible. If the second young lady marries well in the future, she can also help the eldest young master a little."

Bai Ying looked at Shen Youhong lovingly. Even though this son was weak and not as smart as other children, in Bai Ying's eyes he was the best in the world. This was her son, a son that no one could take away from her.

"It would be best if she could figure it out," Bai Ying straightened the corner of Shen Youhong's clothes, "Hong'er, are you hungry? Do you want someone to bring some snacks? Is there anything you want to eat?"
