The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 22 Xu Minmin was severely punished

Xu Rongrong had no time to ask about what was happening outside.

Her health had just improved in the past two days, and she began to plan her future life.

According to her past life's trajectory, she would officially marry into the Weiyuan Marquisate next spring. Therefore, she needed to make plans for herself before then.

The house on Luming Street is just the first step. The title deed procedures have been completed. We just need to wait for the price to rise sharply after the new year to sell it.

She had to think of other ways.

She called Luo Shu over and said, "Your brother works at a car dealership. In his free time, could you ask him to draw pictures of the streets, alleys, restaurants, silver shops, and markets in the capital?"

Luo Shu smiled, her eyes narrowed into crescents: "Look at what you said! This is not a big deal, I can just tell my brother."

After she finished speaking, she paused and added, "If the young lady has any instructions, I can ask my brother to quit his job at the carriage shop and come work for the young lady."

Luo Shu was serious about what she said. She had followed Xu Rongrong for so many years, and even in the difficult days of the past, she had never thought of betraying her. Now that the days were getting better, she naturally hoped to lend a helping hand to the young lady again.

Xu Rongrong knew that this girl was sentimental, and Luo Chen was indeed someone she could use, but she didn't intend to involve them at this stage, so she said gently, "I don't have much else for your brother to do right now. Besides, your brother is obsessed with redeeming you. If I rashly quit my job at the car dealership, I'm afraid it will disrupt his plans. Why don't you take the opportunity to help me with some other things while you're in the city? I'm not familiar with the capital, and I'll be completely lost if I go out in the future. Your brother's drawings will come in very handy."

Luo Shu agreed repeatedly. Although she and Wen Yao didn't say anything about the changes in Xu Rongrong these days, they were worried about it in their hearts.

The young lady is no longer as easily manipulated as before. She acts calmly and has calculations in her mind.

Since ancient times, women have fought in the backyard. Although there is no flash of swords and blood, the battles are still very brutal. If the young lady still has the same temper as before, even if she marries into Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, she will just be in a different place and continue to be slaughtered.

Now this makes them feel more at ease.

……

After dinner, Xu Rongrong took the medicine. She felt a little tired and leaned against the bed to read a book.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu were there with him.

Suddenly, a scream came from the Baicui Courtyard next door: "No! Mother, save me... Mother, save me!"

The two girls were startled, but after listening carefully for a while, their faces brightened again. Luo Shu rubbed the corners of his clothes anxiously, wanting to watch the fun. Xu Rongrong smiled faintly: "Go if you want to, but remember to stand far away."

"Yes, sir!" Luo Shu said, and ran out.

The crying sounds coming from Bai Cui Courtyard became even louder: "Second sister, save me!" Xu Minmin's roar reached the sky.

Wen Yao was also curious: "Yesterday, the master beat the Third Miss so hard that she couldn't get out of bed. Will he beat her again tonight?"

"If you hit me again, I'll kill you. That won't happen." Xu Rongrong turned the pages slowly and continued reading.

There was a noisy sound of footsteps outside again, it seemed that a lot of people were coming.

Then, the screams, nagging, and cursing mixed together, making it so noisy that it hurt my brain.

Xu Rongrong simply closed the book, asked Wen Yao to close the window, and waited for the news that Luo Shu would bring back.

After more than half an hour of commotion, things gradually quieted down outside, and Luo Shu returned. She locked the gate and walked into the house with a look of reluctance on her face.

"The master sent the third young lady to the southern suburbs farm, saying that she should reflect on her mistakes."

"The third young lady called for help and brought over all the help she could. The second young lady was crying miserably, and the mistress was about to throw a tantrum. Unexpectedly, the master was determined this time. He called in a few maids, dragged the third young lady out of bed, and stuffed her into the carriage."

"The lady was so angry that she started to curse, and then she was slapped by the master. It was really satisfying!"

Luo Shu became happier and happier as he spoke, his brows raised with joy.

Wen Yao, on the other hand, began to worry. "Ultimately, this incident was caused by the Third Young Miss who wanted to harm us. Now that she's been imprisoned at the manor, it's impossible to get them to reflect on their actions. I'm afraid they'll turn their wrath against you, Young Miss. Your situation..."

Xu Rongrong soothed him, "They're not afraid of the perpetrators, so why should we, the victims, be so nervous? Xu Minmin was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall and being beaten with a stick. That incident itself is over, but Father came back from his shift and started a fight again. I guess someone inspired him to do something else while he was on duty today... Father, having already weighed the pros and cons of his actions, I'm afraid Madam won't dare to make a fuss anymore."

Xu Rongrong was right. Xu Minmin had been dragged away from Bai Cui Courtyard.

Xu Yaoyao and his servants knelt on the ground outside the house.

Inside the house, Xu Liu sat slumped over with tears streaming down her face, her hair disheveled and her head of jewels shattered into pieces.

There were red fingerprints on his face, and it was obvious that Xu Chaoqian had hit him hard.

She covered her face with a handkerchief and said bitterly:

"Master, Xu Minmin is your own daughter, how can you be so cruel!"

Xu Chaoqian was panting. He had never expected that his decision to deal with a daughter would turn into a war.

He said angrily, "Cruel? Do you know that someone in the palace was personally involved in this matter?" Xu Liu was wiping her tears and was stunned when she heard this.

"The Empress ordered her chief eunuch, Eunuch Wang, to teach me a lesson in front of Lord Lu Zhi! Do you think my punishment was too severe? The trouble your good daughter has caused has now alarmed the Emperor and Empress! If we don't satisfy the people in the palace, our Xu family might be exterminated!"

Xu Liu was also frightened.

This... this is just a little trick used in the inner chambers, and she has been used to it since she was a child.

It's not like he hadn't used it on Xu Rongrong before, so why did it suddenly become so serious? And it even reached the palace?

"Master, I don't know, and Minjie is still young. She...she was just joking and had no intention of harming her own sister." Xu Liu was panicked.

"Try to tell the Queen this story. Believe it or not, she'll have your mouth ripped apart! These harem tricks are all left over from the concubines in the palace. Who can you fool? If I don't send Minjie to the farm, I'll be dismissed from office tomorrow! If I fall, who can you count on?"

Xu Chaoqian became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and kicked Xu Liu in the heart.

One kick wasn't enough, he kicked again.

The second young lady, Xu Yaoyao, rushed in from outside and hugged her father's legs. "Father, please don't do that. Mother is worried about my third sister. If it weren't for your careful upbringing over the years, how could my eldest sister have grown up to be such a beautiful woman? How could she have caught the eye of Marquis Weiyuan at the Qixi Festival banquet? Father, please, for all your years of hard work, give me some respect."

Xu Chaoqian is an extremely selfish person. Apart from currying favor with others, the only person who can make him pay attention is his second daughter who is both talented and beautiful.

Seeing that she was so sensible at such a young age, he quickly pulled her up and said, "Why are you still kneeling like this? If your knees are injured, how will you go out and see people in the future? As a father, I know how to handle matters at home."

After saying that, he turned around and glared at Xu Liushi: "Reflect on yourself carefully. If you cause trouble like this again, be careful that I will peel off your skin!"

After speaking, he walked away.
