Female-male sex: Salted fish forced to rise to prominence

Chapter 328 Fainted from anger

When Old Madam Chen heard this, she slammed the chair under her angrily and said, "Nonsense, how is this possible? Our Chen family is a big family after all."

Old Master Chen next to him could no longer sit still. He stood up. He had just been reported to the emperor and demoted two levels by him. He couldn't afford to be reported again for these matters in the inner chamber.

He walked straight over and said, "Miss Bai, please let me see this list."

Bai Yiling handed it over directly. He took the list and took a quick look. The items on the list were indeed rare treasures.

After taking a look at it, Old Master Chen handed the list directly to Madam Chen beside him and said, "My eldest daughter-in-law, please take a look and see if the things on this list are in your house. If so, please sort them all out and send them to General Bai's house. You cannot lie about this matter. If you do, you will be punished according to family rules."

He spoke very slowly, but his last sentence was very harsh. Madam Chen looked at her father-in-law with eyes as if he wanted to eat her, and she was so scared that her body trembled involuntarily.

She took the list and took a look at it, and she knew that she couldn't shirk this matter. There were indeed many things that could be found in the mansion. She could only timidly reply: "There are indeed some in the mansion."

As soon as she said this, Chen Manli beside her lowered her head in shame. She clenched her hands tightly, her eyes full of embarrassment and a hint of viciousness. It turned out that the damn girl Bai Yiling came here today specifically to embarrass her.

When Mr. Chen, who was standing next to him, heard his wife's reply, he looked incredulous and asked in surprise, "Is that true?"

Madam Chen didn't dare to look at her master's questioning eyes. She could only timidly respond: "Yes."

The master looked at his wife's guilty expression swaying in the wind, his eyes full of disappointment. He really overestimated her. As the daughter of a minor official, he was still a little short-sighted. He felt a little regretful for a moment. He should have listened to her mother and married a noble lady. Now he would not be so embarrassed in front of his colleagues.

He had already been punished by His Majesty for his second son's affairs, and now his daughter was acting like this again. He really didn't know whether he would still have a position in the Ministry of Revenue.

After hearing this, Old Master Chen's face turned gloomy. He immediately ordered: "Come here, sort out the things immediately. Do you think you can enjoy the things that His Majesty has personally awarded you?"

These words were clearly insults to the servant, but it was clear who they were actually addressed to.

Madam Chen stood there blankly, too frightened to even breathe. She liked money, but she was more afraid of death. She tightly grasped the sleeve of her master Chen Zheyuan, "Master, I really didn't know things would be so serious. If I had known..."

Master Chen suddenly pulled out his sleeves and snorted heavily.

Needless to say, Chen Manli has always been afraid of this strict grandfather. She can only hide behind her mother, trying to avoid being noticed by others.

So all the servants went out together, and after a stick of incense, they brought out ten large boxes full of things. Bai Yiling opened them one by one and took a look. She nodded with satisfaction. These were indeed almost the same things as on the list.

Old Master Chen humbled himself and apologized to Bai Yiling, "It's all my fault for not disciplining you well enough. I hope Miss Bai will forgive me."

Bai Yiling bowed to Old Master Chen and said, "Today, it is thanks to Old Master Chen's courage that the things have been returned. Now I'd like to trouble your servant to help send the things back to the general's mansion."

Old Master Chen said: "It's our duty. You should send the things to the general's mansion now." Immediately, a group of servants carried the things and left in a mighty manner.

This made Mrs. Chen feel distressed. These were all precious treasures, and they were just being sent back like this.

Bai Yiling instructed again: "Jianqiu, present the gift prepared by my fourth brother. Although my fourth brother has gone to the northern border, I still have to help him take care of the family affairs. Bai Yiling wishes Madam Chen a long life and good health on behalf of my fourth brother."

After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hands and moved closer to Jianqiu, as if she was whispering something, but her voice was no smaller, "Jianqiu, remember to bring back the night pearl and the pearl string, they are all gifts from the emperor."

The maid Jian Qiuxing responded: "Yes, Miss."

As she spoke, she handed the wooden box that had been prepared long ago to Nanny Lin, and nimbly put the night pearl on the table into her arms.

Then she walked up to Old Madam Chen and said, "Excuse me, old madam, but this is also a gift from the emperor." Then she pulled out the beads that the old madam was playing with.

Her action made Old Lady Chen furious, "How dare you, a slave, be so presumptuous..."

Jianqiu ignored her. She was not the old lady of her family. She went straight back behind Bai Yiling.

Bai Yiling bowed and said: "Since the gifts have been given, I will leave first. Everyone, take your time to eat."

But as soon as Bai Yiling left, Xue Tao asked curiously: "I wonder what gift Miss Bai gave to her brother?"

Everyone was very curious and stretched their necks to look over here. Nanny Lin was also curious. She opened the wooden box and saw that inside was a huge ugly turtle that children used to play with.

Nanny Lin didn't know what to say. She stammered, "Old Madam, this, this, this..."

Old Madam Chen also looked into the box and found a tortoise ornament. Was he calling her an old tortoise who lived a long life? Her face darkened and she was immediately filled with rage. She fainted and fell stiffly to the ground.

Her fall scared the maids and old women who were serving her. Nanny Lin hurried to support the old lady. Master Chen ran over and shouted, "Please ask the court doctor to come over quickly."

When the guests saw that the host had fainted and the house was in chaos, some of them left first.

Princess Ronghua saw that things had developed inexplicably like this, but she couldn't help much, and it was not good for her to go up and cause trouble for Sister Maner, so she left with two maids.

Although Prince Zhou still wanted to say a few more words to Chen Manli, the Chen family was in too much chaos now and the occasion was not convenient, so he decided to ask her out another day. So he left with his servant Jin Chuan.

As he walked, he thought that what happened today was just that the young lady from the general's mansion was too aggressive. She wanted to take back the things she had given away. He was already dissatisfied with her for hurting people without asking why last time, and now he felt even more disgusted with her.

Jin Chuan followed behind the prince. He thought differently from his own prince. He felt that Miss Chen San was indeed not a good person and was not worthy of his prince at all. She was flirting with other women, such as Su Yu and General Bai. He had to report this to the princess and must not let the prince be seduced by her.

When the guests saw the princess and the prince leave, the rest of the guests quickly dispersed...

Old Madam Chen was carried to her room by servants and old women, and the huge group of people left like that.

In an inconspicuous corner, the maid Xiaoyun looked at the vase in her arms and said, "Miss, it's all my fault for not being able to protect this vase well. Fortunately, the old lady suddenly fainted today, otherwise the vase we prepared would be broken, and we would be punished if we sent it up."

Chen Qingqing also said: "Yes, today we have to thank Miss Bai."

She didn't need to think too much, she knew it must be another act of her good elder sister. It was just that her concubine Ruan had received more favor from her father recently, so she couldn't help herself and resorted to such despicable means.

This is my grandmother's 60th birthday. If she succeeds in this plan, my grandmother might get angry and marry her off to someone else.

Her elder sister was really cruel. She had been so cautious with her, and had made all kinds of concessions. She had even worked hard to write poems to make her famous in the capital, but she still refused to let her go. A trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.
