The Bai Mansion was very restless tonight. The lights in the backyard were on brightly. Bai Huixian was sitting on a chair. The Bai Mansion's housekeeper, Xiao Shuer, and Li Xiaoshu were all tied up and thrown on the ground. The rest of the servants in the mansion were asked to watch from the side.

"You are such evil-hearted people. Just because I don't care about the affairs of the royal family, do you think you can fool my wife?" Bai Huixian's face was solemn, his brows were furrowed, and his tone was angry, "Give me twenty strokes of the stick, beat me hard, it doesn't matter if I become disabled, I can sell me off!"

All the unrest in the harem was brought before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He was so embarrassed. But that was not the most important thing. He was afraid that what would happen if the Crown Princess was dissatisfied and became estranged from his wife? What should he do?

He was proud of himself for being a man of talent and ability, but he also needed a little help from the east wind. Bai Huixian rubbed his brow with his fingers. He knew his wife, and he knew that he couldn't ask her to please the Crown Princess directly. If he did, she would become stiff and would no longer be able to get along with the Crown Princess naturally and comfortably.

The Crown Princess is not short of people who flatter her, but people who can interact with her on an equal footing. It doesn't matter if their status is not equal, what matters is the sincerity in the interaction. Sincerity is the cheapest thing and the hardest to find.

The servants beat them mercilessly with sticks in their hands. All three of them had their mouths gagged with cloth, making them unable to make any sound. However, their eyes were bloodshot and they kept struggling!

It hurts so much! It hurts so much that Li Xiaoshu felt like his spine was about to break. He was so unwilling to accept it! Mingming Madam was planning to stop caring about it, and her ladder was about to be built.

It must be He Yue! It must be He Yue who is interfering, otherwise Lord Bai, who has never cared about the harem, would not suddenly punish them with thunderous means. How simple! The Crown Princess, who is high above her, only needs to move her lips to crush her into the dust and ruin her life!

"Clap! Clap! Clap!..."

When the last stick fell, Li Xiaoshu lost consciousness in the back half of her body. Her eyes were empty. She heard Lord Bai's cold voice, "Drag these three people out of the house!"

Her ankle was grabbed and her elbows were rubbing against the ground. She raised her head with all her strength and looked at Bai Huixian with resentment. She couldn't say a word, but her heart was rotting and angry!

I am just a lowly person in front of you who can be disposed of at will. You appear in front of the prince and beg for mercy, don't you? !

…………

There was a lamp on in the room. Bai Huixian lifted the curtain and went in, and found Xia Suling lying on the table crying. After hearing the noise, she quickly got up, lowered her eyelashes, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

She didn't look back at him, her back revealed stubbornness and a hint of resentment.

Bai Huixian sighed and walked slowly behind her, lowered his head and called her gently, "Madam."

Xia Suling still didn't look back, and said in a pitiful tone, "The housekeeper and Xiao Shuer deserved what they got. What about Li Xiaoshu? He said a few wrong words and ended up like this. I feel bad!"

She had a kind heart like a bodhisattva, but she did not have the wisdom and means, so sometimes she would be taken advantage of and manipulated by others. As a maid, she created a barrier between the two of them.

Bai Huixian did not keep groveling. He raised his hand and put it on her shoulder. "My wife feels bad, and I feel bad too. Did I say I wanted to take a concubine?"

Xia Suling pursed her lips, and Bai Huixian said again, "You are unwilling to speak frankly to me, and you chose a concubine for me that I don't even know about. You should have even prepared the paperwork, right?"

He exerted a little force on his hand, turned Xia Suling towards him, and looked straight at her. His dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. "In poverty, we were able to go through the hardships of the years together. Now that the storm has passed, why do you want to disturb the peace of the harem?"

After saying that, he couldn't help coughing a few times, and quickly turned his face to the side, with his waist bent down. Xia Suling hurriedly stood up to support him, stroking his back with her hand, her face worried and sad, "Husband, what's wrong with your body? I always see you coughing recently!"

Bai Huixian waved his head and sat down on a chair to drink a cup of tea. After easing the discomfort in his chest, he explained, "I've been busy with official duties recently, but it's not a big deal."

Xia Suling felt relieved. Recalling what He Yue had said to her, she felt that the couple should really have a heart-to-heart talk. "I thought it would be difficult for me to get pregnant before, and I was afraid that it would cut off your family's incense and my mother-in-law would blame me. Li Xiaoshu has a good temper and doesn't make trouble, so I thought of taking a concubine for you."

Bai Huixian's mother was old and did not come to Yuncheng with them. Bai Huixian bought a house for her in his hometown and kept loyal servants for her so that she could live a comfortable life as an old lady.

Old Madam Bai disliked Xia Suling very much, or it could be said that almost no one would like a daughter-in-law like Xia Suling, whose family was impoverished, both her parents were dead, and she herself was seriously ill.

Countless precious medicinal herbs once made the Bai family extremely hard-working. When Bai Huixian failed to pass the imperial examination, he opened a private school, paid people for their writings, and did any job that could make money. Others laughed at him for not having the character of a scholar, but he still refused.

Xia Suling drew vitality from his flesh and blood, and it has been so until now.

"The imperial physician has checked your pulse. As long as you take good care of yourself, you can get pregnant." Bai Huixian's face turned pale as he pointed out the blind spot. "When I went to find a doctor to check your pulse, I was always by your side. Which doctor told you that you couldn't get pregnant? I have never heard of it."

"It must be that slut named Li Xiaoshu who secretly tricked you into finding another doctor. She must have colluded with the doctor and was waiting for you to fall into her trap." Bai Huixian looked up at her stunned face and taught her not to trust others easily in the future. "Thieves who attack directly are not scary. It's the poisonous snakes that spit out their tongues in secret that are hard to guard against."

Seeing that she already knew Li Xiaoshu's true identity, Bai Huixian took her hand and patted it gently, "We should thank the Crown Princess. This doctor was sent by the Crown Princess to check on you. He has calmed your worries and resolved the unspoken knot between you and me."

Xia Suling came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly, feeling guilty and embarrassed. Her beautiful and graceful face blushed, and she subconsciously turned to Bai Huixian for help, "Today, Yueyue told me..."

Her son was clear-headed at the moment and was extremely disgusted with Li Xiaoshu. If Li Xiaoshu really succeeded, the friendship between her and Yueyue, and the love between her and her husband would all be destroyed by Li Xiaoshu!

What's the logic? What's the logic?! She had never done anything wrong to Li Xiaoshu. She saved Li Xiaoshu, and after Li Xiaoshu insisted on selling herself as a slave, she treated her like a maid. She was really a white-eyed wolf from Zhongshan!

Bai Huixian listened while gently stroking his knee with his free hand, pondering every word carefully.

After Xia Suling finished speaking, he said, "The Crown Princess has good intentions. What Madam said at that time was definitely inappropriate. You can submit a letter to the East Palace tomorrow and apologize to the Crown Princess. There is no knot between friends that cannot be untied. The most important thing is to exchange sincerity for sincerity."

Of course, this sentence is only suitable for the Crown Princess. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't care whether you are sincere or not. What he wants is the benefits he can get.
