Yuqi finally recovered a little, and trying to endure the burning pain on her face, she hurriedly said, "My lady, I'm fine. Madam Guo is teaching me."

Yan Qingning sighed for the original owner. Yuqi wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but it was probably useless.

Since the incident, all the people closest to the original owner have passed away.

Now, Yuqi and Qingzhu were only promoted from the third-rank maids in the mansion.

These two girls have been with the original owner for a short time, and it is unknown how loyal they are, but they seem to have good hearts.

Madam Guo's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and she said in a businesslike manner: "I am only here on the orders of the princess to ask Concubine Ning to go over immediately. If Concubine Ning cannot leave, I will have someone carry you over."

"No need!" Yan Qingning suppressed her anger. She kept calling herself an old slave, but her arrogant face did not show the attitude of a slave at all. If you didn't know her, you would think she was the master.

"You go out first and let me get dressed." Yan Qingning said gritting her teeth.

"Ning Shifei, you may have forgotten your status. It is unreasonable for a concubine like you to make the princess wait. Don't let this old servant take action, or I will lose face."

Yan Qingning looked at the stern face of Madam Guo. She knew that the situation was stronger than she was and that it would be futile to say anything. She threw off the quilt and got down to the ground.

Yuqi immediately stepped forward, took the clothes and quickly put them on her.

She was afraid that she would be dragged out naked a moment later, which would be really undignified. She was stunned for a moment when she raised her eyes.

"Alright, hurry up and go. You'll be guilty of a thousand deaths if you keep the princess waiting for too long." Nanny Guo urged coldly.

She would never give Yan Qingning the chance to comb or tie her hair.

Yan Qingning followed Nanny Guo to Qixia Garden with her wet and messy hair.

Qixia Garden is the residence of the hostess Yan Xiwei. It is spacious and elegant, and is completely different from the original owner's Feiyue Residence.

There were many maids and old women standing on both sides of the door. When they saw Yan Qingning coming, they all looked like they were gloating and enjoying the show.

No matter how calm Yan Qingning was, she was still frightened by the scene.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two women sitting in the main seat and the seat next to it.

Without looking at the concubine who had escaped death sitting next to her, Yan Qingning could also feel her gaze like that of a black-eyed bee.

Yan Qingning looked straight at Yan Xiwei. She was fifteen or sixteen years old, just as he remembered.

She has an oval face and her makeup is delicate and beautiful. She is good at playing to her strengths and avoiding her weaknesses, and her temperament is gentle and kind.

As soon as Yan Qingning came in, Yan Xiwei's gaze stayed on Yan Qingning's face, which was as white as snow, especially her eyebrows, which were obviously darker and clearer than usual.

Perhaps because she was not feeling well, she looked rather pitiful and adorable.

Yan Xiwei had been jealous of Yan Qingning's appearance since she was a child. Even though her hair was messy at this moment, she was still as pretty as a peach, which did not detract from her beauty in the slightest, making her even more jealous.

Yan Xiwei's nails turned white as she gripped the armrest of the chair. She shouted sharply, "Kneel down!"

Yan Qingning had never knelt before in her life, so she wanted to talk it out with Yan Xiwei, so she said in a gentle voice: "Sister, Concubine Luo and I..."

Before she could finish her words, she was kicked in the back of her leg. Yan Qingning fell to her knees involuntarily with a thump, her knees aching.

"I want you to call me princess!" Nanny Guo scolded in a deep voice.

Without waiting for Yan Xiwei to speak, Madam Guo raised the bamboo board in her hand and slapped Yan Qingning's back twice, "I hope your concubine will remember the order of respect!"

The dress was too thin and she was completely unprotected. Yan Qingning almost passed out from the pain. Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on her face.

Yan Qingning gasped, eyes full of anger, "Princess, are you taking this opportunity to vent your anger?

Since you are tired of each other, why don't you just kick me out of the door and turn a blind eye to me?"

If this wasn't Yan Xiwei's instruction, Yan Qingning would never believe it even if you beat her to death.

"How dare you! Who are you yelling at? How dare you talk back?" Madam Guo shouted angrily while hitting him with a ruler like raindrops.

The original owner had been raised with a delicate body since childhood. After a few blows with the ruler, Yan Qingning was knocked to the ground and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

It was unknown whether it was the illness, the pain, or the anger that was causing more pain, but Yan Qingning, who was lying on the ground, was trembling all over. She raised her head and looked at Yan Xiwei, saying coldly, "You and I were both in our infancy when things happened back then, and we had no choice.

Whoever did the evil should be held responsible, why do you have to use this as an excuse to take revenge on me?"

Concubine Luo was excited, but she jumped up and down and said, "Bah, that's easy for you to say. You and your daughter are so vicious that you did the substitution, causing the princess to be tortured for more than ten years and suffer so much. Don't you know what's going on?

You two are the same, both are despicable and shameless bitches. Even if the princess beats you to death, it is right. You are a bitch, you just act as if you are wronged."

This concubine Luo had the lowest family background among the eight women. She was already on good terms with Yan Xiwei, and after entering Prince Qing's mansion, she tried even harder to curry favor with Yan Xiwei, following her lead, sharing the same hatred with her and speaking for her.

At this time, Yan Xiwei's lips curled up slightly, and she said with helplessness that was not in line with her age: "Concubine Ning, you think too much. Since I have asked my mother and uncle the emperor for mercy for you and your daughter, I have forgiven you."

Then Yan Xiwei changed the subject and her face darkened, "But let's be honest, the peace of the inner house is my responsibility. I just want to ask you, do you know that you were wrong in pushing Luo's concubine today?"

If Yan Qingning admitted to this, she would be completely nailed to the pillar of viciousness, and she would not change her bad habits, which would be an even greater crime.

Yan Qingning panted and said, "This was an accident. Concubine Luo intended to push me down..."

"You are talking nonsense. It is obviously you who is vicious. You pushed me down." Luo Shiqi immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Princess, please help me. When I passed by the arch bridge today, she spoke ill of me, saying that I was your dog and that you are vicious..."

"You are confusing right and wrong." Yan Qingning suddenly felt a sense of absurdity. The little girl in front of her was only fifteen or sixteen years old. How could she be so confusing right and wrong?

But she was alone and powerless after all, and she could not win the argument with one mouth. She only said one sentence, and Yan Xiwei frowned slightly, and said with disappointment: "This princess knows that you are still brooding over the previous matter, and you even hold a grudge against me?

Oh, it turns out that your mother has spoiled you, making you accustomed to having everything you want and not knowing how to reflect on yourself.

If I do not punish and restrain you today, it will not only bring shame to my Zhongshu Mansion, but also to the dignity of Prince Qing's Mansion.

Maybe it will bring disaster to Prince Qing's palace. Someone, lock her up in the Buddhist temple to reflect on her actions."

Yan Xiwei was dealt with after she said some high-sounding words in a pretentious manner.

As soon as she finished speaking, two strong women rushed forward and twisted Yan Qingning's arms.
