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

The original owner's mother had a strong character and had never pleased her. Because she loved the original owner's mother, she also disliked the original owner.

We can distinguish between closeness and distance, but how can we not distinguish between right and wrong?

However, magic still needs to be defeated by magic!

"Of course I know that a family will prosper together and suffer together, but Fifth Sister slandered me in public for bullying others by taking advantage of my power. If I don't argue with her, people will think that I, the Yongning Marquis, am frivolous and immoral, and that I don't teach my children well."

"I am not the only young lady in this mansion. There are also many sisters. My brothers and sisters will also be arranged to marry in the future. I can't just consider my fifth sister and ignore the other brothers and sisters."

"If grandma blames me for damaging my fifth sister's reputation, then just punish me. But for the sake of the Marquis's reputation, I will still do this even if it happens again!"

Bai Youyou's eyes were red and her expression was stubborn. Her long and impassioned speech stunned everyone present.

Is this still the same fool who only knows how to scream and cry when he is wronged?

Normally, he would not get anything out of him even if you hit him with three sticks, but today he spoke in an orderly and logical manner, and the old lady's face was as gloomy as ice.

Bai Luochuan on the side opened his eyes with a look of surprise.

He knew his sister's personality very well. She was exactly like their mother, Lu. She acted and spoke directly, without any ulterior motives.

Unexpectedly, she rendered her grandmother speechless with just a few words.

Originally I wanted to punish her, but now that she said so, not only can I not punish her, I have to reward her.

The old lady stared at Bai Youyou with her cloudy eyes. After a while, she suddenly laughed, as if sighing, "You used to be a rascal, but now you've grown up and know how to consider other people in the family. Grandmother is very pleased."

"Although you did nothing wrong in what happened today, you were still a little rash in your actions."

She took a sip of the tea in her hand and said calmly, "In two months, it will be your grandfather's memorial day. I will leave the task of copying the scriptures to you and send it to the Buddha Temple to pray for your grandfather."

"It is a great blessing to be able to copy scriptures for the old marquis. Miss, you must copy more copies." Zhang Momo behind the old lady agreed with a smile.

It is a great blessing, but it is just an open praise and a hidden criticism.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. Bai Youyou didn't want to be dismissed as unfilial just after arriving, so she agreed obediently, "My granddaughter will copy the Buddhist scriptures devoutly and pray for grandfather."

Bai Yaoyao knelt on the ground, unable to hide the gloating in her eyes.

"You are making up stories out of nothing and gossiping about others," the old lady glanced at her with an indifferent expression, "Wang Momo, lock her up in the ancestral hall and send someone to watch her. Don't let her eat for three days!"

"Yes." Nanny Wang responded respectfully.

When Bai Luochuan heard that she would be punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall and not being given food for three days, he immediately became anxious, "Grandma, it's just a quarrel between sisters, why don't you just punish Fifth Sister and ground her."

The old lady's face turned cold, "As the elder brother, you only listen to one side and don't distinguish right from wrong. I will punish you by making you copy the family rules a hundred times!"

"grandmother......"

"Grandmother, Yaoyao knows she was wrong and will sincerely repent in front of our ancestors. She will never make the same mistake again."

Bai Luochuan wanted to argue, but Bai Yaoyao tugged at his clothes and shook her head at him.

She was certainly not a fool. She knew that only by accepting the punishment could she regain some goodwill in the old lady's heart. She kowtowed and accepted the punishment.

Bai Youyou felt extremely relieved when she saw that both of them were punished.

The maid in the room lit the candle, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

"Meet Madam."

The maids and servants outside the house bowed.

Bai Youyou looked in the direction of the voice and saw the curtain sway. A nanny with some gray hair on her temples walked in supporting a tall, dignified and noble woman.

Bai Zhenzhen immediately stepped forward and respectfully called out "Mother."

Mother?

Bai Zhenzhen's mother is her current aunt - Lady Li, the wife of Marquis Yongning.

Bai Youyou quickly followed suit and called out "Auntie".

"Meet the mother-in-law."

Li greeted the old lady, walked to a chair nearby and sat down, looking at Bai Yaoyao with a serious gaze.

"I heard from someone that you were gossiping in Xunyang Palace, deliberately saying that your fourth sister was kidnapped by thieves to ruin her reputation?!"

"Aunt, Yaoyao said it unintentionally. Yaoyao didn't mean it. Yaoyao knows she was wrong."

Bai Yaoyao was smart and admitted it readily.

She knew that as long as her grandmother, Mrs. Qiao, was around, she would be fine.

As expected, the old lady glanced at Li and said in a cold tone, "Li, I have already punished the fifth girl to kneel in the ancestral hall and not allow anyone to give her food for three days. Let's forget about this matter so as not to disturb the peace of the family."

"Since the mother-in-law has punished me, the daughter-in-law won't say anything."

Li clenched her cheeks and changed the subject, "But this Fifth Miss is already thirteen and still doesn't know the rules. I think it's because Aunt Qiao didn't teach her well. It would be better to let Second Brother's wife send a nanny to teach her the rules, so that she won't offend some noble in the future and bring disaster to the Marquis' Mansion."

The old lady didn't know that she said this deliberately to punish Bai Yaoyao through Lu, but her words made sense, and even she, the mother-in-law, couldn't refute it.

Besides, it was just a minor punishment and it was not worth it for her to embarrass Li in public.

"Madame Wang, send someone to tell Madam Lu to send a maid to teach Miss Fifth the proper manners."

"Yes." Nanny Wang agreed immediately.

Bai Yaoyao's face was pale and her lips were trembling.

If she kneels in the ancestral hall, her aunt will ask her father to protect her and will not let her starve or freeze. But if she falls into the hands of her stepmother, given the grudge between her aunt and her stepmother, she will be skinned alive if not dead!

"Grandma, why don't you send a nanny to Yaoyao? Yaoyao will definitely learn the rules seriously and will never speak rudely again."

Li snorted coldly and took the opportunity to attack, "What, your stepmother can't teach you the rules?"

"No, it's not..."

It was winter, and the heating was on in the house. Bai Yaoyao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

She looked around and found that no one could save her. She could only bite her lips and shed crocodile tears.

Her delicate and pitiful appearance only works on people who are kind to women. Except for Bai Luochuan who wanted to help but couldn't, the other masters and maids in the room all had no expression on their faces, and even had a hint of contempt in their eyes.

Bai Youyou looked at her aunt with admiration. She was indeed a woman who could compete with the old lady.

What a clever trick he had. Knowing that the old lady was protecting this little white flower, he used Lu to punish her.

Lu hated this pretentious mother and daughter. How could they get anything good from her?

"be careful."

Bai Zhenzhen looked at her mouth that was almost stretched to her ears, quietly tugged at her sleeve, and reminded her in a low voice.

Bai Youyou immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

But she also knew that Bai Yaoyao was the heroine of the book and had the aura of a heroine. It wouldn't be long before she would start jumping around like an indestructible cockroach again.
