Wangshu relaxed immediately, with hot and cold sweats mixed together, and her hair sticking to her eyes made her vision flicker. Mingxi lay limp in her arms, breathing heavily. The person behind them hugged the mother and daughter tightly. The man who had survived the storms and fire and was unharmed, was now trembling all over after having just snatched his daughter back from the gates of hell.

"Sister, wuwu!" Yun Xiao also rushed forward and cried loudly. The man stretched out his arms and wrapped them around the three of them. It was a very tender and touching moment. The servants felt relieved. Everyone was wiping their tears in relief. Suddenly, someone said, "I'm dying of suffocation!"

Wangshu was squeezed in the middle, his back was hot and damp, and his son in front of him was half covered in tears. He felt he couldn't breathe and shouted in dissatisfaction.

Everyone:...

The man quickly let go and checked on his daughter first. Mingxi looked at her father's face, which was covered in blood. She touched it again and again, her throat aching. She spoke incoherently, "Daddy, are you hurt?"

"It's okay, Daddy is okay. As long as Xiaobao is okay, that's good." The man hugged her, touched and kissed her, as if he had been reborn after a disaster. He breathed a sigh of relief and called her by her nickname, "Xiaobao almost scared mom and dad to death."

Xiaoqing took the opportunity to walk over and cover the lady's collar which had unconsciously dropped while she was moving, re-tied the belt around her waist, and helped her sit on a low stool.

Wangshu was like a puppet, caught in the huge emotional ups and downs that circled between heaven and earth in an instant. He couldn't recover for a long time. He supported his chin with one hand and stroked his chest with the other hand, which was in a state of panic and convulsion and was about to burst out. He felt hot and swollen with pain.

"Why don't you pour some hot water for the lady! And fan her!" The old man pointed at the good-for-nothings who could only wipe the blood off their nails. "One will be enough!"

Hearing this, the man holding his daughter, Ji's mother and father gathered around him again. Yun Xiao, who had just stopped wailing, looked at his mother's face in pain, grabbed his head with both hands and was about to collapse, crying out, "Mom!!!"

The sound spread across most of the yard.

"Yunxiao!" Wangshu's head was buzzing. After drinking some water, he opened his eyes and looked at his eldest son. He couldn't help but yell at him, but he was taller and stronger than his peers, his face full of panic and fear, his hair all messed up. His heart softened, thinking that he was just an eight-year-old. He lowered his voice and reached out to hug him: "Yunxiao, come here, mother is fine."

As a result, the man rushed over and knocked Wangshu to the ground, and the sky was full of little stars. The man buried himself in her arms and hugged her waist tightly.

Oh my god! This is a perfect son!

Wangshu, grimacing in pain, was still thinking that if God wanted to kill her, he would have to go through several steps, from being frightened to being exhausted to being painful. She was completely unaware that her large son, through his collisions and tugs, had ripped most of her nightgown. If everyone had just been so frightened that they hadn't noticed that the mistress was dressed in tattered clothes and exposed skin...

At this moment, the robe opened, revealing most of his bare shoulders and a chest covered in red scratches. Everyone, attracted by Yun Xiao's latest bawling, saw it all. Even if Xiao Qing was quick-witted, the fresh red marks on his white shoulders, especially the densely packed area at the peak, were still eye-catching...

Before everyone could close their eyes, they realized something and fell into the difficulty of breathing, on the verge of drowning. No one dared to look at the tall figure next to them. The instinct for survival prompted everyone to throw themselves to the ground, not daring to make a sound or breathe. Tonight was destined to be a dead end.

Tang Bo and the others all knelt on the ground, silently begging for mercy. After nearly thirty years of master-servant relationship, he could feel the gaze from above, so he knelt even lower, his head touching the ground.

The general grew up in Yaocheng, his blood mixed with that of the Hu and Han peoples, but at heart he was a pure Confucian scholar. He was upright and proper in public, never engaging in extravagant behavior. No one else was allowed in the house of his wife. His wife was the legal wife, and they lived in monogamy, with no concubines or illegitimate children. They both held equal dignity...

Wangshu was so confused that Xiaoqing quickly covered her collar. She then knelt on the ground and trembled. She realized belatedly that she had exposed herself in public. Her eldest son was still holding her waist and shaking her, not knowing that his own father was about to kill her with his eyes.

"Who brought the glutinous rice cake? It's hard to digest and it's not cut into small pieces." Pretending not to know what happened, Wangshu stared at the sticky paste on the ground that almost took Mingxi's life, and asked slowly.

Chun Yang crawled forward two steps with the cook and stated directly, "Madam, the young lady woke up in the middle of the night and said she was hungry. There were cold rice cakes, steamed buns, and rolls in the kitchen, but the glutinous rice balls prepared for tomorrow morning an hour ago were still warm. The cook, Cao Gu, brought these glutinous rice balls to us, causing a disaster!"

Wangshu looked at Xiaolu again. Her knees gave way and she fell to the ground. "...Miss, I was hungry and a little sleepy. I choked after eating the third piece. I couldn't eat or spit it out. I swallowed hard and asked for water... Madam, I have failed in my duty and deserve death. I deserve death!"

"Who is this rice cake for?"

"Madam, this is prepared for tomorrow's breakfast. It was hot when it came out of the pot, and was ready to be cut into small pieces and served on a plate tomorrow morning. Cao Gu was negligent and served it directly." Chun Yang, who was kneeling on the ground with Tang Bo, explained with his head down.

"Grass, how many dolls do you have?"

The designated person had to answer, so Chun Yang had no choice but to shut up.

"Husband... Madam, I have... I have three children. I was wrong... I was wrong..." She trembled like a sieve and kowtowed continuously, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

Thinking that her own child was going to be killed, she kept begging for mercy. Chun Yang quickly grabbed the panicked woman and said, "Shut up."

The noisier it is, the more irritated the mistress becomes.

"Servants in the palace must be extremely careful. Not even the slightest mistake is allowed. If an unintentional mistake leads to disaster, you will have to bring your entire family to the underworld to complain!"

Wangshu inadvertently pushed the plate of glutinous rice balls to the edge of the table. Seeing it teetering on the edge, he let go. Soon, with a dull thud, it landed on the carpet. The plate didn't break, but the glutinous rice balls rolled and scattered, collecting dust, and the powdered sugar and sesame seeds clinging to them fell all over the place.

The people kneeling on the ground didn't know what was going on. The general in charge of the troops heard a "dong" and thought it was a sword being unsheathed. Many of them closed their eyes tightly and were scared out of their wits.

"If I can be a good person, I won't be a bad person. You guys should take it easy and don't challenge my bottom line. Those in the kitchen and the courtyard, kneel outside. The rest of you will be fined three months' salary. Leave."

Holding his breath and closing his eyes, he trembled like a sieve. He dared not breathe. Everyone retreated to the door, and suddenly only the family was left in the room. Wangshu turned around and asked his daughter, who was lying in the man's arms with her eyelashes still wet, "Mingxi, tell me." He patted the big fool in his arms, "And you, Yunxiao, tell us what happened!"

The brother and sister stumbled over the story and told it in a halting manner. It turned out that the older brother always wanted to eat something at night, so he instigated his younger sister to order some snacks for midnight snack. The younger sister was sleepy but had no choice but to eat a few pieces. She ate with her eyes closed and choked accidentally!

The big fool who was feasting beside him was frightened when he remembered that his sister had a weak spleen and stomach and couldn't bear to eat too much. The nannies and aunts around him fed her water and patted her back, but his sister just stretched out her hands and couldn't say a word, which frightened him even more and made him yell...
