Bai Youyou and Xiaoju looked at the bulging veins on her forehead and could feel how painful the beating with the board was. They both grinned with the same expression.

A beating with a wet board hurts but does not injure the skin.

Seeing this, the two servants swinging the sticks secretly reduced their strength.

Although they took the silver, the second master had instructed them not to do anything bad to the man.

The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" continued to be heard, and Bai Yaoyao felt her butt was already broken after only ten strokes of the board.

The pain went deep into my bones and the thick mat was of no use at all.

After being beaten with thirty boards, she fainted from the pain.

Aunt Qiao was a concubine and was not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. When Aunt Qian ordered people to carry Bai Yaoyao out of the ancestral hall, she was dumbfounded.

"Yaoyao!"

Aunt Qiao pressed her waist with shaking hands and found that the thick cushion was still there. She thought that Bai Yaoyao fainted because of her delicate body, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send Miss Five back quickly."

Bai Yaoyao was carried back to her room. Aunt Qiao and Chunliu took off her clothes and found blood stains on her underwear.

She thought about it and realized that these days were the days when she had her period, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Bai Yaoyao's waist was white, tender and smooth, with only some bruises that looked rather scary. Aunt Qiao asked Chunliu to fetch some medicinal wine.

Bai Mulin was originally planning to go to Tingfeng Tower to celebrate the New Year, but when he heard that Bai Yaoyao had fainted, he changed his plan.

Aunt Qiao applied medicinal wine to Bai Yaoyao and then came out.

"What did the doctor say about Aunt Li?"

"The baby was not saved. The doctor said that my body was damaged and I won't be able to have children in the future."

There was a faint smile on Bai Mulin's lips.

Originally he was planning to find a way to kill that bitch, but now it seems that the bitch won't survive for more than a few days without him getting his hands dirty.

"That thing should never have been born, so it's better to be gone. Wait a couple of days, and I'll find a reason to send her away, so you can find a marriage partner."

Before getting married, he already has concubines and illegitimate children. Most good families will not marry their daughters into his family.

That's exactly what Aunt Qiao wants.

Aunt Qiao had an indifferent expression, and neither the mother nor the son showed the slightest sadness over the loss of their child.

Li Lianhua, wearing thin clothes, stood outside the door, listening to their conversation, and staggered back.

Xiaoqing quickly supported her.

She had just heard what Aunt Qiao said and felt sad for Li Lianhua.

I got pregnant for him, became his concubine, and ended up like this.

"Aunt!!"

Li Lianhua was already physically weak and now he was filled with grief and anger. His eyes rolled back and he fainted again.

When Aunt Qiao and Bai Mulin heard the exclamation, they hurried to the gate of the courtyard. When they saw that it was Li Lianhua, their faces darkened.

"Why are you running around for no reason? Hurry up and help your master back!"

Bai Mulin's eyes were filled with disgust. "From now on, without my permission, you two, master and servant, will stay in your own yard and are not allowed to go out!"

"Yes."

Xiaoqing felt chilled when she heard his heartless words. She quickly lowered her head, hugged Li Lianhua with difficulty, and staggered back to her yard.

When Li Lianhua woke up again, it was already the evening of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

"Little...Qing..."

She felt weak all over, as if she had lost six of her seven souls and her head was dizzy.

Xiaoqing was squatting in front of a small stove watching over the medicine pots on the stove. She had good hearing and when she heard the voice as small as a mosquito, she immediately put down the palm-leaf fan in her hand and trotted in.

"Aunt, you're awake!"

Xiaoqing burst into tears of joy.

Aunt Li had a high fever for the past two days, and she was afraid that Aunt Li would never wake up after falling asleep.

"Xiao Qing."

Aunt Li woke up, but she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands. Her lips were covered with white flakes due to the high fever.

"Auntie, the medicine will be ready soon, please wait a moment."

The water on the table had already gone cold. Xiaoqing ran to the eaves outside the house, wrapped the handle of the medicine jar with a rag, and carefully poured the medicine into the bowl.

Li Lianhua was cold all over. After drinking the medicine Xiaoqing gave him, his body began to warm up a little.

"Has the young master ever been here?"

Despite hearing such cruel words from Bai Mulin and Aunt Qiao, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Xiaoqing lowered her head, not daring to look at her disappointed eyes.

Li Lianhua knew this would happen, but his heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.

“How heartless!”

She stared blankly at the ceiling of the bed, tears welling up in her eyes and falling into the black hair at her temples.

"Auntie, take care of yourself first, and we'll talk about it later if there's anything."

Xiaoqing sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

She was crying for Aunt Li, and also for her own uncertain future.

I thought I could have a good future with Aunt Li after entering the Marquis' Mansion, but I didn't know that this was a den of tigers and wolves.

"There will be no future."

Li Lianhua smiled bitterly.

She is injured now, and Aunt Qiao is afraid that she will be sent away within three days, and then find Bai Mulin a lady from a noble family.

In the past, a mother could rely on her son to gain status, but now even this hope has been taken away!

Thinking of the baby that was miscarrying in his abdomen, Li Lianhua grabbed the quilt under him tightly, his expression suddenly became ferocious, "It's all Bai Youyou's fault, it's all because of that bitch Bai Youyou that I lost my child!"

"I'm going to kill her!"

She screamed miserably: "I must kill her and avenge my child!!!"

"Ho ho ho-"

"Auntie, don't get excited."

Li Lianhua couldn't catch his breath and began to twitch like a dying fish.

Xiaoqing quickly put the bowl in her hand on the small table and raised her hand to smooth her chest.

"Aunt, this was not done by the Fourth Young Miss. You are wrongly blaming her."

Xiaoqing didn't want Li Lianhua to hate the wrong person, so she quickly said, "This morning I heard two maids talking outside the courtyard, saying that it wasn't the Fourth Miss who pushed the Fifth Miss, but the Fifth Miss deliberately dragged you into the water to frame the Fourth Miss."

"what?!"

Li Lianhua used all his strength to grab Xiaoqing's hand, his almond-shaped eyes staring so wide that they almost popped out.

She asked again in disbelief: "Did you just say Fifth Miss?"

"Sigh~"

Xiaoqing's hand was pinched by her nails and she cried out in pain.

Li Lianhua did not loosen his grip, but tightened it. "Tell me again, who pushed me?"

Xiao Qing endured the pain and said, "It was the Fifth Miss. The Fifth Miss was also punished with thirty strokes of the cane for this matter."

"Why her?"

Li Lianhua helplessly let go of Xiaoqing's hand, his eyes full of astonishment, "Why did she want to harm my child?"

Xiaoqing wanted to say something but stopped herself.

The old doctor said that she had coldness accumulated in her body, but there was nothing very cold in the food she ate, unless someone had deliberately drugged her.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Aunt, the doctor said that the reason you had a miscarriage was not because you fell into the water, but because you ate something very cold and cold, which caused the coldness in your body to accumulate, leading to the miscarriage."

Li Lianhua immediately rejected it, "How is that possible? I usually only eat home-cooked dishes, nothing cold at all!"

"Aunt, you not only ate those, you also ate the tonic soup that Fifth Miss sent to you every day. If Fifth Miss had planned this in advance--"
