On the other side, Marquis Anle received a letter from the palace saying that His Majesty had granted a marriage to Ling Qingluan and Prince An. He quickly dealt with the matter and then hurried back with his son.

After returning home and learning the ins and outs of the arranged marriage, he was also very angry.

He knew that someone was plotting against his daughter, but now the matter was done and it was too late to say anything. Qingluan had to marry Prince An.

The current emperor is old, and the princes under him are all grown up, and have been fighting openly and secretly.

Marquis Anle had not originally intended to marry his daughter to the prince, as he did not want to get involved in the disputes among these princes.

And even if she wanted to marry, Prince An was not a good choice.

People outside said that Prince An was kind and capable, but Marquis Anle knew that he was just an outward appearance with rotten inside.

But he is more optimistic about Prince Ning, who is truly capable and a strong contender for the throne.

But such an accident happened, forcing Qingluan to marry Prince An and dragging her family into the vortex of the fight for the throne.

Although Anle Hou was a little confused about Ling Qingluan's affairs, he was also very capable. If he was really a fool, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position.

Because he was powerless to help his daughter, and after hearing about Zhang's affairs, he took out all his anger on Zhang and had a big fight with her.

As for what she knew about Ling Qingluan pushing Ling Yuyan, she didn't take it to heart at all. She thought it was not Ling Qingluan's fault at all, but it was all because Zhang didn't take good care of her daughter. Not only did Qingluan accidentally make a mistake, but she also fell off her horse and was seriously injured.

That’s right, after knowing that both of his daughters were seriously injured, Marquis Anle never thought of going to see Ling Yuyan. He was only worried about the suffering Ling Qingluan had suffered.

Not only did he go to see her in person, he also sent her many gifts to cheer her up. Although she pushed her sister into the water, he felt that Ling Qingluan had made a mistake in a moment of thought.

As for Zhang, she originally wanted to take advantage of the Marquis's return to complain to him so as to get her housekeeper rights back.

In the end, he ended up losing more than he gained. Not only did he fail to get his stewardship back, he was also scolded by Marquis Anle, which made Lin very angry.

Zhang, after being scolded that day, was so angry that she called a doctor. Perhaps because she felt ashamed, she did not go out for many days under the pretext of recuperating from illness, even though she was not seriously ill.

As for Baiyin, ever since Baiyin bought books for Qingyu and the others last time, they have studied even harder.

They would discuss books whenever they had time, but they cherished them very much and were very careful every time they used them, fearing that they would damage them.

Baiyin also learned embroidery from Qingyu as usual, and the other people would also give her some pointers. Although they had not studied embroidery like Qingyu, they still knew how to embroider something, and they were better than Baiyin anyway.

After two months of study, Baiyin's embroidery has finally improved a bit. At least the things she embroidered have a shape now, and are no longer as weird as before.

She would still listen to gossip and eat secretly while working.

Look, that day Baiyin once again found a place that was not easily discovered, hid in the rockery, and ate barbecued skewers happily.

In this scorching hot weather, finding a place like this where you can hide from the heat and eat secretly, makes life more comfortable!

Baiyin sighed in his heart as he took a bite of grilled skewers and a sip of ice cola.

Just as Baiyin was sitting on the ground enjoying himself, he heard voices coming from outside. Baiyin quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

As expected, gossip is everywhere, it just depends on whether you have the eyes and ears to discover it!

"Hey, do you know how Nanny Qin got the scar on her face today?" A little maid with a round face asked the people around her. Although she was asking a question, her face was full of expression saying, "I know, come and ask me."

Nanny Qin was one of the maids in charge of chores like Baiyin and the other maids. Baiyin also saw the injuries on her body today, so she was very curious about this question.

Another maid with a thinner face asked curiously: "I don't know, do you know how it came about?"

The round-faced maid said, "Of course I know!" Then she sneaked up to another maid and whispered, "She was beaten by her husband."

When the thin-faced maid heard the news, she first exclaimed in surprise, then asked in confusion, "That's impossible. Would someone like Nanny Qin also be beaten?"

The main reason was that Nanny Qin looked very scary and had a stern face all day long. She looked like a powerful person, so the little maids were all very afraid of her.

The round-faced maid listened to her question and said with certainty: "It is absolutely true. Although Nanny Qin seems powerful in front of us, she is often beaten by her husband at home.

This was not the first time she had been beaten. I have a relative who was her neighbor and often heard her husband beating people. Her husband was an alcoholic and would beat people whenever he was drunk.

It’s just that in the past, they would hit me on my body so that no one could see any marks. I didn’t expect that this time, they would hit me directly on my face.”

The thin-faced maid shuddered when she heard what the round-faced maid said, and sighed, "Madame Qin is so pitiful, having met such a husband."

The round-faced maid also sighed: "Ah, who said it wasn't true!"

Although Nanny Qin was usually strict with them, she never bullied them, so the two of them still sympathized with her situation.

The maid with the thin face said worriedly, "I hope I can marry a better man in the future."

The round-faced maid also echoed, "Yes, yes, don't be like Nanny Qin's husband."

Baiyin didn't know what to say after hearing what they said. She couldn't righteously accuse them of not relying on others for their lives.

Because of the way things are, girls here get married when they reach a certain age, and rely on their husbands for their livelihood in the future.

If she marries into a good family, she will be happy. If she marries into a bad family, that is her fate.

Although divorce was allowed during the Zhao Dynasty, few women mustered up the courage to do so, and most people just lived their lives like this.

Baiyin said that it is more comfortable to live alone. You can do whatever you want and stay safe without getting married or having children.

Unfortunately, most of the time you can’t do whatever you want.

For example, if a woman in this era goes out and says that she will not get married, others will definitely think that she is sick and will be spitted at by everyone.

Not to mention this feudal era, even in the 21st century when Baiyin lived before, this kind of situation still occurred frequently.

Perhaps because she felt the atmosphere was a little silent, the round-faced maid suddenly asked, "Do you smell anything? It smells so good. I'm hungry just by smelling it."

When Baiyin heard this, he quickly put all the things outside into the space, for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, another maid with a thin face sniffed it and said, "I don't smell anything. Could it be that you didn't have enough for lunch and you are hallucinating?"

The round-faced maid heard her teasing, touched her stomach, and smiled sheepishly: "I really didn't have enough for lunch."

The thin-faced maid said, "Be patient, dinner will be served soon."

As they were talking, the two of them walked away.

Baiyin felt that he should be more careful about what he eats in the future.

be careful and live long!
