After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Bai Yaoyao bit her lip, lowered her head, and tears fell down.

"What you did today was too stupid. Even if Bai Youyou can't prove herself, you can't do anything to her with just a handkerchief. At most, you can only suffer from some rumors."

"Now that you have failed to frame him, you have put yourself in danger!"

Aunt Qiao resisted the urge to wipe her tears and scolded her with a stern face, "Every failure is a learning experience. Remember this in the future: if you don't strike, then it's fine. But if you strike, you must hit the target with one strike and avoid any future troubles!"

"I got it."

Bai Yaoyao nodded obediently.

After all, she was her beloved. Aunt Qiao raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and softened her tone, "Rather than punishing her, it is better to prevent future troubles. After this incident, don't act rashly in the future."

"Ah."

Bai Yaoyao responded with a choked voice.

Aunt Qiao took her to her room, opened the wardrobe, and took out a thick gray cushion.

There was a thin white rope hanging from each of the four corners of the mat.

"Tie this around your waist."

Bai Yaoyao took off her clothes, and Aunt Qiao wrapped the cushion around her hips and tied a thin rope.

It's cold in winter, so we wear thick clothes. With this pad, we look a little bulky.

"okay."

Aunt Qiao took the cotton-padded jacket on the chair and put it on her. "Don't be afraid. Your father has already sent Li He to the ancestral hall to explain. This jacket is thick, and with the cushion, it will only hurt a few times and cause some flesh wounds."

After packing up, she took Bai Yaoyao to see Nanny Qian and gave her another tael of silver as a reward.

When she came back, she saw Bai Mulin outside the door. She frowned and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Go see Aunt Li and comfort her. Don't let her feel resentful because of this matter."

Bai Mulin was somewhat reluctant, but he still listened to her and went to Li Lianhua's yard.

The old doctor from Jishidiang was brought here on New Year's Eve, and he felt a little unhappy.

But human life was at stake, so he took Xiaoqing's pulse and gave her acupuncture, then immediately picked up a brush, dipped it in ink, and quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to Xiaoqing.

"Take the prescription and go get the medicine."

"Doctor, can my aunt's baby be saved?"

Xiaoqing looked anxious and her hands holding the prescription were shaking.

"Why are you still worrying about your child? You're lucky to be alive."

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The old doctor packed up his medicine box and said unhappily, "She's already three months pregnant, and she's still eating very cold food. It's a wonder the fetus can be saved."

"My young lady has never eaten anything extremely cold or chilly."

Xiao Qing was confused: "Since my young lady found out she was pregnant, she has only eaten some light porridge and side dishes, and only had meat once in a while. How can these meals be extremely cold and refreshing?"

The old doctor frowned, "That's strange. I just took her pulse and it's clear that there's coldness in her body."

"Doctor, isn't my aunt's fetus due to falling into the water?"

"Falling into the water was only an external factor. The root cause was the excessive coldness in her body, which caused damage to the fetus and made it difficult to conceive."

"How could that be?" Xiao Qing was a little confused. "The doctor checked my aunt's pulse a month ago and didn't say that she had coldness accumulated in her body."

"Could it be that I took the wrong pulse?"

The old doctor doubted himself for a moment, put down the wrist pillow in his hand, walked to the bedside, and put his hand on Li Lianhua's wrist.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand, shook his head and sighed, "The pulse is correct."

The old doctor had seen a lot of dirty things happening among the wealthy and powerful families, so he didn't say anything more.

He urged, "Go get the medicine quickly. Your aunt has lost too much blood, and she has also been hit by a cold. Her body has been damaged. She will need to be well cared for with warming and nourishing medicines in the future."

Xiaoqing looked at the unconscious person on the bed, her throat rolled over, and she asked with difficulty: "Doctor, can my aunt get pregnant again in the future?"

The sheets under Li Lianhua were soaked with blood, and his face was pale without a trace of blood. If it weren't for the rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked like a dead person.

The old doctor followed her gaze and shook his head with regret, "You've damaged your foundation. I'm afraid you'll never get pregnant again."

When Bai Mulin came in, he paused slightly after hearing the doctor's words.

"Young Master!"

When Xiaoqing saw him, her face suddenly turned pale.

My aunt was not well-liked by him to begin with, and now she is injured...

She couldn't even imagine how miserable her master's future life would be.

"Go get the medicine."

Bai Mulin waved at her with an extremely cold expression.

The old doctor glanced at him and turned to pack his medicine box. Bai Mulin took out a tael of silver from his waist pouch and handed it to him.

"It's New Year's Day. Thank you for your help, doctor."

The old doctor lowered his eyes and glanced at the silver in his hand, but did not take it. He just said calmly: "This aunt is seriously injured. Old ginseng is used in the medicine. One tael of silver is not enough."

Bai Mulin's expression froze, and he quickly forced a smile, "How much is the consultation fee?"

"Twelve taels."

The old doctor picked up his medicine box and put it on his back, walked up to Bai Mulin, and waited for him to pay.

Bai Mulin awkwardly took out all the silver in his pocket, which was exactly ten taels.

The old doctor took the silver and followed the servant out through the back door.

The servant said with a smile, "Doctor, my aunt fell into the water accidentally when it was dark today."

"I know the rules."

The old doctor carried his medicine box and left without looking back.

The 'bang bang bang' sounds finally stopped, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Bai Youyou had only been to Tingfeng Tower once before, so she sneaked into the ancestral hall under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Before the New Year's Eve dinner, the men of Yongning Marquis' Mansion all worshipped their ancestors in the ancestral hall. At this time, the hall was brightly lit and the scent of sandalwood filled the entire house.

In the yard, Bai Yaoyao was tied up on a wide stool with a white cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Nanny Qian, who was standing on the steps, waved her fat hand, and immediately two burly servants came over with boards.

Bai Youyou and Xiaoju hid in the corner, holding a handful of melon seeds in their hands, eating them while watching the show.

"Sure enough, you are prepared."

Nowadays, there is the saying "it's easy to kneel down", while in ancient times, there was the saying "it's easy to withstand the beating".

Bai Youyou looked at Bai Yaoyao's bulging waist and hips and clicked her tongue twice.

Xiaoju stood next to her, smiling cunningly, "Don't worry, young lady. The two servants who will be beating the people with the sticks have been taken care of. They know how to hit people the hardest."

Bai Youyou tilted her head and spat out the melon seed shells, "Didn't Li He tell these two people?"

"Li He has given instructions, but we gave more silver."

Xiaoju bared his big white teeth and rubbed his thumb and index finger together a few times, "Money makes the world go round."

Bai Youyou smiled and glanced at her, "Well done, there will be a reward for you when we get back."

"Thank you, miss."

The young lady at home was very generous. Xiaoju smiled when he thought about adding more money to his own piggy bank.

In the yard, two servants wielding boards were weighing the water-soaked wooden boards in their hands. They looked at each other, then lifted them high and dropped them heavily.

"Oh!"

After being hit by the board, Bai Yaoyao raised his head and let out a muffled groan.
