Shen Qingyu mentioned these things in front of Bai Ying in a nonchalant manner, but it sounded very harsh to Bai Ying's ears.

She realized at this moment that she, as the lady of the house, had no authority at all. A concubine could bully her and act wildly, and could casually send people into her daughter's yard.

So, behind the scenes, how did Aunt Liu live her life in such a high-handed manner?

Since Madam Liu has extended her hand into Shen Qingyu's courtyard, does that mean that Liu Hualing has a hand in all the big and small matters in this mansion, and is then secretly scolding her as the madam for her incompetence?

Bai Ying's face instantly turned terribly gloomy. If everyone in the Shen family believed that a concubine was better at managing the household than she, the lady, then there was no need for her to continue managing this household!

"Madam Liu, I should have told you that you should do what your status dictates. Don't stretch your hands too far. If you dare to stretch your hands into Qing Yu's yard today, who in the mansion will still be in your sight tomorrow?"

"Will the account books of this mansion be delivered to you in the future, and will the money in the treasury be delivered to your Xiezhu Courtyard? And will you even interfere in the master's study in the future?"

Bai Ying's words were equivalent to roasting Aunt Liu on the fire.

Aunt Liu knelt down hurriedly as if frightened, saying, "Madam, please calm down. I certainly didn't mean to do that, and I dare not harbor such a rebellious thought. I just had good intentions, but I didn't expect it to turn into this situation. Madam, if I really meant to interfere, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Even though it was such a poisonous oath, Aunt Liu swore it without any hesitation.

Shen Qingyu naturally didn't believe it. Even though she had experienced traveling through a book, she just ignored the oath and didn't take it seriously. If someone swore such an oath in front of her, she would just think that the other person was crazy.

But when this happened in front of Bai Ying, she was surprised, snorted dejectedly, and let the matter go.

After all, Shen Qingyu was not her beloved daughter. Since she did not love and value her much in her heart, she naturally would not want to stand up for Shen Qingyu. The reason why she was willing to step into Tingyu Garden today was probably more for Aunt Liu. It was naturally more important to find out the shortcomings of an aunt that the master loved than to make decisions for a useless daughter.

Today, Bai Ying forced Aunt Liu to swear such a serious oath, so she naturally took it lightly. Behind Aunt Liu was Master Shen. Today, she punished Aunt Liu too harshly, and there was another quarrel in the evening.

This is not what Bai Ying wants to see.

Moreover.

Bai Ying looked at Shen Qingyu beside him and sighed slightly. This was not a big deal. If he couldn't really do anything to Aunt Liu, then it would be meaningless.

Shen Qingyu understood Bai Ying's eyes at that moment, and secretly mocked her in her heart, but she still looked kind and filial, giving Bai Ying a way out, "Mother, as long as your daughter has you to make the decision, other things are not important. Auntie has sworn an oath, so let's forget about this matter."

As he spoke, Shen Qingyu took a step forward, seemingly subconsciously wanting to get closer to this woman, but Bai Ying took a step back and avoided Shen Qingyu's hand.

There was a trace of sadness on her face, but in her heart she knew clearly the position of herself as the second legitimate daughter in Bai Ying's mind.

This is a situation where even physical touching is extremely disliked.

It can be seen that in the mother's heart, she hates her daughter to the extreme.

The fate in the world can be deep or shallow. Even though Bai Ying and Shen Qingyu are mother and daughter, the relationship between them is not deep.

If Bai Ying had risked her life to give birth to a boy, would she still have the same attitude now?

If it weren't for Bai Ying's indifference, how could Aunt Liu reach out to the legitimate daughter and try to use her future to pave the way for Shen Xitong? I'm afraid that in the eyes of her biological mother, she is not as good as the illegitimate daughter.

Shen Qingyu avoided him silently, unable to hide the sadness on his face.

If the real Shen Qingyu was present, she would have been heartbroken by her own mother's treatment of her. Unfortunately, she was not there. How Bai Ying treated her was not something she should care about emotionally. If the mother and daughter were too familiar with each other, there would be loopholes.

She did not have any memories of Shen Qingyu before, but it was still possible to understand her roughly through the description in the book. However, it would not be good if someone in this world knew Shen Qingyu too well.

Before this, Xiangyue and other maids assigned by Aunt Liu to be by Shen Qingyu's side were the people who knew her best.

Now that Bai Ying has dealt with all these maids, there won’t be many people who know Shen Qingyu.

Bai Ying noticed Shen Qingyu's slightly hurt expression, and after thinking about today's incident, she realized that the child was still on her side as a mother from the bottom of her heart. Bai Ying felt much better. Aunt Liu had put in a lot of effort, but in the end, the blood relationship between her and Shen Qingyu could not be easily disrupted by Aunt Liu.

In view of Shen Qingyu's understanding, Bai Ying said, "Well, although this matter is not a big deal, as the legitimate daughter, you are the master of the Shen family, and you can't be bullied by anyone."

Bai Ying gave a look to the woman from the Li family, and the woman immediately took away Xiangyue, who was lying on the ground. The crying and wailing continued. Even if Xiangyue begged again, she could not escape such a fate.

When the other people in the yard saw this, they all remained silent, and no one dared to say a word for Xiangyue.

Xiangqiao, who had just knelt on the ground to defend Xiangyue, was now hiding in a corner, not daring to show up.

"In this courtyard," Bai Ying looked at Shen Qingyu, "if there are people you want to keep, then stay. Send the others away. When the time comes, let Mrs. Wang bring in a group of new maids. I'll pick a few for you to keep by your side. After all, you are a legitimate daughter. How can you only have these few people around you?"

Shen Qingyu was overjoyed and quickly thanked her: "Thank you, mother."

"As for you, Aunt Liu," Bai Ying refused to even give Aunt Liu a look of disgust, and turned around to leave, "From today on, you will be confined to your courtyard for ten days, and you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard. In addition, you will be fined for three months of monthly salary. Is that a problem?"

Aunt Liu reluctantly agreed, "I will accept the punishment."

Of course there is a problem. She was confined for ten days, so why not also confine her for three months? Anyway, the master would only come to her Xiezhuyuan and he hated Bai Ying from the bottom of his heart. As long as she whispered something in the master's ear at night, the confinement would naturally be lifted. Not to mention the three-month monthly salary as a fine, the master could give her a subsidy of silver!
