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

"Master Qin, there must be a misunderstanding."

Bai Yanlang's forehead was sweating. He raised his sleeve to wipe it. When he saw Li He, the sweat on his forehead became even more intense.

"Please calm down, I will go ask my rebellious daughter right now!"

Without waiting for Master Qin to speak, he stood up from his chair and strode out the door.

Li He followed him until he turned a corner.

Bai Yanlang looked at him anxiously, "Have you sent the letter of severance to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

"It has been sent." Li He nodded.

Bai Yanlang stamped his feet anxiously, "Why did you send it so early?"

"Not only that, but someone sent someone to spread rumors in front of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, saying that the fourth young lady had a vicious mind and that she relied on the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to be arrogant and domineering and bully others."

Li He's words were like a basin of ice water that poured over Bai Yanlang from head to toe. He glared and said, "I didn't ask anyone to do such a thing!"

"It should be the Fifth Miss who did it, but they may have already put it on you."

Li He looked at him with his eyes wide open and sighed in his heart.

It made no difference to the Fourth Miss whether he did it or Bai Yaoyao.

After all, that note of severance was really too much!

"This rebellious girl!"

Bai Yanlang cursed and hurried to Bai Yaoyao's yard.

At this time, Bai Yaoyao was sitting under the eaves, feeding the white cat with chicken breast in her hand.

Bai Yanlang walked in angrily, and asked sternly with a sullen face: "Tell me the truth, was it you who pushed Qin Taifu's daughter into the water?!"

Bai Yaoyao paused while feeding the cat, her eyebrows knitted tightly, "Who told you that?"

"Master Qin is in the mansion right now. He said that it was his granddaughter who said it herself. He is in the front hall right now and is waiting for me to explain it to him!"

Bai Yanlang was furious, his voice rising uncontrollably. He glared at Bai Yaoyao with hatred, his face so gloomy that it seemed to freeze.

"how is this possible?"

Bai Yaoyao was shocked.

Weren't Qin Ran and Bai Youyou at odds? She was sure that what she did at the time was flawless, so how could Qin Ran know it was her?

"You bastard, did you really do this?!"

The look of doubt and uncertainty on Bai Yaoyao's face made Bai Yanlang so angry that his beard stood up. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Someone was spreading rumors and causing trouble outside the Zhenguo Mansion this morning. Was that person also arranged by you?"

"How could this be me?" Bai Yaoyao immediately denied.

"Who else could it be if not you?"

"I did it, but it wasn't me who did it!"

"We'll talk about this later," Bai Yanlang said with a ferocious look, wishing he could beat the rebellious girl to death. "Come with me now, and I'll punish you if Master Qin wants you to!"

Without giving Bai Yaoyao a chance to explain, Bai Yanlang had her tied up and taken to the front hall.

"Master Qin, my daughter is young and ignorant, and she almost harmed your daughter. I have brought her here. I want to beat her or kill her. How do you want to deal with her?"

"Young and ignorant?" Old Master Qin looked at Bai Yaoyao fiercely, "At such a young age, you have a very vicious mind!"

"I asked her, and she said she just wanted to stop the fight and didn't expect an accident like that to happen."

Bai Yanlang tried his best to defend Bai Yaoyao, but Taifu Qin said coldly, "Master Bai, we both know the facts, so there is no need to say more."

He waved his sleeves, his eyes sharp, "If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of the father. It is your fault that she has evil intentions at such a young age."

"Yes, yes, yes... It's my fault for not teaching her well."

Bai Yanlang nodded and admitted his fault very smoothly, "I will definitely punish her severely and make her sincerely repent and never do it again!"

Master Qin did not respond, but just glanced at him indifferently.

Bai Yanlang knew that he couldn't fool people, so he pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and turned around to tell Li He, "Go, follow the family rules."

"Dad, the Crown Prince was also there at the time. Please send someone to the East Palace to find the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince knows the truth."

When she heard that she was going to be punished by the family rules, Bai Yaoyao suddenly became panicked. She twisted her body and struggled violently.

Qin Taifu said solemnly, "Humph, although the prince was present at the time, he had his back to the corridor, so how could he see it?"

"Not only was the prince present at the time, but the daughter of the Zhao family was also there. If you don't believe me, you can go ask her."

"I don't believe my own granddaughter's words, but I ask an outsider?"

Master Qin sneered, picked up the teacup beside him and drank the tea slowly.

Li He and his men carried a wide stool and placed it in the yard. Bai Yaoyao was taken out and tied to the stool.

Bai Yanlang glanced at Bai Yaoyao, looking embarrassed, "Master Qin, you see..."

Qin Taifu raised his eyelids and said calmly, "Master Bai, this girl is your own daughter. How do you discipline her? Do you still need me to teach you?"

Bai Yanlang pursed his lips, turned around and looked, gritted his teeth, "Give him twenty strokes of the cane!"

"what!!"

Outside the yard, the muffled sound of a wooden stick hitting someone's body could be heard along with Bai Yaoyao's screams.

Master Qin did not stand up until the last board fell, supporting himself on the table.

When he passed Bai Yanlang, he stopped and said, "To educate others, one must first educate oneself. To establish virtue, one must first establish others. Lord Bai, if you give birth to a child but don't raise him, or raise him but don't educate him, how can you be a parent?"

Bai Yanlang cupped his hands and humbly accepted the teaching, "What the Grand Master taught me, I will keep in mind!"

As soon as Qin Taifu returned home from leaving Yongning Marquis's mansion, the eunuchs in the palace came forward and said in a shrill voice: "Qin Taifu, we are here on the emperor's orders to summon you to the palace."

Qin Taifu was shocked and asked, "Excuse me, sir, why did the emperor summon me?"

The housekeeper took out a purse and stuffed it into the father-in-law's hand. The man pinched it with his fingers and the smile on his face became even wider.

He smiled and said, "Nothing major has happened in the palace, and the emperor is in a good mood today, so Master Qin doesn't have to worry."

In this way, Qin Taifu felt relieved.

"Please wait for a moment, sir. I will go back and change my clothes."

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

In the imperial study, the emperor, wearing a golden crown and a bright yellow dragon robe, was leaning lazily on the back of a chair. The prince was sitting on a throne beside him with his back straight.

Tutor Qin followed the chief eunuch in, and when he saw that the emperor was smiling and in a very good mood, he felt a little relieved.

"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."

"Get up."

The emperor changed to a comfortable sitting position, raised his eyebrows slightly, "I heard from the prince that your granddaughter was bullied and almost lost her life?"

Tutor Qin was surprised for a moment, and glanced at the prince beside him. His heart, which had just settled down, rose to his throat again.

He calmed down and quickly bowed his head and said truthfully: "Yes, fortunately, God blessed me and I didn't lose my life."

The emperor stroked his newly grown beard, and raised his lips. "I heard that it was the granddaughter of the Duke of Zhenguo who did it?"
