There was a threat in the words of Yong'an Marquis. The prince's expression became stern and he said coldly: "Don't use the queen mother's things unless it is absolutely necessary!"

"Then save your cousin, just this once!"

Yong'an Hou looked at him pleadingly, "You protect him this time. After this time, I will confine him to the backyard and prevent him from going out to cause trouble again."

Yong'an Hou burst into tears, looking sad, "Uncle has only this one son, and the Jiang family has only this one descendant. Please help uncle again for all the years that he has devoted himself to assisting you."

The prince had never seen Marquis Yong'an so humble before, and his heart softened immediately.

He sighed, "I'll do my best."

Marquis Yong'an cried with joy and wiped his face with his sleeves.

As long as the prince is willing to plead with the emperor, Jiang Hui will be able to get away with this matter safely. At most, he will suffer some physical pain but will not be exiled.

The sun sets and the moon hangs high.

In the Taifu Mansion, the old Taifu stayed by Qin Ran’s bedside.

Seeing that he looked tired, the housekeeper said with concern: "Miss, are you okay? You must take care of yourself and don't make Miss worry."

"I am fine."

"It's getting late. I'll have the food delivered here. Please have a bite."

"I have no appetite." The old master waved his hand at him, "Go down and have someone warm up the porridge."

The old tutor sat hunched over in a chair, his eyes fixed on Qin Ran's still pale face.

The butler also glanced at the bed, then turned and walked away.

Not long after he left, Qin Ran on the bed trembled her eyelashes and woke up slowly.

"Ran Ran!"

The old lady had been paying attention to her. When she saw her wake up, she immediately jumped up from her chair and asked anxiously, "Are you awake? Do you feel unwell?"

"No."

Qin Ran’s throat was swollen and sore, and the sound she made was hoarse and unpleasant, like a broken gong.

The old lady quickly poured her a cup of warm water.

Qin Ran drank some water and coughed a few times. When her throat felt better, Master Qin asked someone to warm the porridge for her to eat. Then he asked softly, "The prince said that the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo pushed you into the lake. Is this true?"

"No."

Qin Ran wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and shook her head gently. "It wasn't Youyou who pushed me. It was the concubine's daughter from the second house of Yongning Marquis's Mansion, Youyou's concubine's sister, Bai Yaoyao, who pushed me."

When her granddaughter affectionately called the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo "Youyou", the Taifu knew that she had a very good relationship with that girl.

He frowned, "Then why did the prince say that it was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo who pushed you?"

"The prince was sitting in the pleasure boat with his back to us. He saw me being pushed into the lake, but he probably didn't see clearly who pushed me."

"Do you have a grudge against the Bai family's concubine?"

“Never.” Qin Ran pursed her lips. “However, she has been in the East Palace these days, and my daughter has seen her a few times.”

When she said this, the old master understood instantly.

The concubine of the Bai family caught the prince's eye. He must have regarded his daughter Ranran as a rival and deliberately took this opportunity to harm Ranran's life.

"The Bai family's concubine has such a vicious mind, Grandfather will definitely not let her off easily!"

"But the prince seems to be particularly fond of the concubine of the Bai family. Will you anger the prince by doing this?"

Qin Ran looked at him worriedly.

Ordinary useless people would not easily catch the prince's eye. She had seen the concubine of the Bai family several times in the East Palace, and even the prince's concubine was severely punished by the prince for bumping into her. This is a clear example.

"You know her relationship with the prince, but grandfather doesn't."

The old tutor smiled shrewdly, and reached out to touch her nose like he did when she was a child, "Ignorance is not a crime. When the prince comes to see me, I will apologize. But if anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely avenge you!"

He was the one who handed over the prince, so how could he not know his character?

To the prince, the concubine of the Bai family is useful, but to him, his granddaughter is his life.

Whoever dares to take his life, he will kill him!

"You take a good rest, Grandfather will go take care of something."

The old tutor instructed the servants to take good care of the young lady, went to the study, wrote a letter asking for leave, and ordered the guards around him to send it to the palace early in the morning.

Early in the morning.

As soon as the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion opened, a servant beside Bai Yanlang stood at the door with a letter of severance.

When he saw the door was open, he shouted, "Today, I am here on the orders of my master to deliver a letter of severance to Bai Youyou. From now on, there will be no father-daughter relationship between them!"

Hearing this, the people passing by stopped and looked at him out of curiosity.

"Letter of severance? Whose family is this?"

The servant immediately shouted again: "My master is the second master of Yongning Marquis Mansion, and the former son-in-law of Zhenguogong Mansion."

"My master said that the fourth young lady is a vicious person. She bullies her younger sister and harms others. She is extremely vicious. He doesn't want his daughter to be like this, so he wrote a letter of severance with his own hands, severing the father-daughter relationship with her!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

The porter had just lowered the bolt when he heard him and rushed out.

The servant jumped back three steps, putting some distance between him and the doorman. "What are you doing? Do you want to hit someone? It's broad daylight, in a clear world, is there still any law?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't even touch you!"

The doorman glared at him with a sullen face. The servants had already run to inform Mrs. Sun and the old lady about the commotion here.

When Sun heard this, she became furious.

"Bai Yanlang, you really go too far!"

Bai Youyou and the Lu mother and son also got the news.

Mrs. Lu gnashed her teeth in anger. "How dare Bai Yanlang slander my daughter like this? I'm going to chop him up!"

Bai Luochuan didn't expect his father to do such a thing. He quickly pulled Lu who was about to go to the small kitchen to get a kitchen knife, "Mom, don't be impulsive. If you take this kitchen knife out, my grandparents will really be known as arrogant and domineering."

"Let me go, let me go now!!"

Lu's strength was so great that Bai Luochuan felt that she was harder to press than the New Year pig. After a while, sweat began to appear on the tip of his nose.

"It would be fine if he wrote a letter of severance, but he actually let someone ruin your sister's reputation in public. If I don't chop him up, I won't be named Lu!"

"Mom, there is still a follow-up to this matter. Please listen to me and don't be impulsive."

Bai Youyou said this, and Lu's struggling body stopped instantly. Her clear and sparkling eyes looked at her, "Do you have a solution?"

Bai Youyou nodded, "Yes, don't worry."

Bai Luochuan let go of Lu and took two deep breaths, "Sister, you stay in the room with mother. I'll go out and take a look."

"No need, I am sitting upright and walking properly, there is nothing to hide from others."

Bai Youyou put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, calmly said, "Mom, please be patient. I will make them suffer the consequences of this matter."
