She immediately said, "Since we've already investigated everything, let's drag Tao'er out and punish her with the family rules. Start with twenty lashes!"

Wang Yingying subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her mother did not pursue the matter further.

Mrs. Wang, perhaps seeing through her thoughts, paused before speaking again, "Yingying is also at fault for not disciplining her own maidservants strictly. She should also be given twenty lashes of the cane!"

Wang Yingying immediately exploded: "Why? Tao'er acted on her own initiative, what does it have to do with me? I was completely kept in the dark!"

Madam Wang stared at her with a frown. "Are you truly innocent? Do you want me to call the gatekeeper from Yanyan's courtyard over for an interrogation?"

Wang Yingying felt as if cold water was poured on her and froze in an instant.

A moment later, she quickly walked over to Wang Yanyan and pleaded, "Big sister, this is all because of you. Please help me plead with mother. I can't be beaten. I will be hurt!"

Wang Yanyan lowered her eyes and looked at her second sister in front of her, thinking that she was really good at pretending to be pitiful.

If she hadn't argued for her point, it would have been Qiu'er who got beaten.

Why should she plead for her?

She said indifferently: "Second sister, please forgive me for being unable to do anything!"

"You!" Wang Yingying was so angry that her eyes almost spitted fire.

Mrs. Wang could no longer tolerate her unreasonable behavior and ordered her and Tao'er to be dragged away and beaten with a stick.

She also ordered: "When beating them, cover their mouths and don't let them scream, otherwise I will be upset!"

The maids agreed and disappeared in an instant.

Madam Wang walked up to Wang Yanyan and comforted her: "It's mother's fault. She almost made you and Qiu'er suffer!"

Wang Yanyan said stubbornly: "It's okay, as long as we get to the bottom of the matter and give justice to the innocent!"

Mrs. Wang comforted Qiu'er and gave her a lot of rewards.

Only after everyone had left did she hesitantly ask, "Yan'er, how do you think we should explain this to the Marquis' wife?"

Wang Yanyan frowned and said, "Mother, don't you understand her temper? She doesn't tolerate any sand in her eyes. Don't hide anything from her, just tell her the truth!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately realized that her second daughter would probably find it difficult to gain a foothold in the capital.

The mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi is the center of the circle of power and nobility. As long as the marquis' wife dislikes her, no wealthy family will choose her as their wife in the future.

This incident has blocked her own path to wealth and fame!

Madam Wang sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's go to Marquis Zhan Yi's residence and apologize now!"

The mother and daughter took the carefully prepared gifts and went to ask for a meeting with Lin Yiwan the next day.

Wang Yingying was beaten so badly that she couldn't get out of bed. She kept wailing in pain on the couch.

She got angry and called the old maid who was guarding outside: "Where is my mother? Where is my elder sister? Why don't they come to see me?"

The old nanny had no choice but to advise: "Second Miss, you have been seriously injured, just rest well and stop asking so many questions!"

Wang Yingying grabbed her wrist and demanded, "Tell me, where did they go?"

The old nanny was frightened by her eyes and immediately replied: "Go, go to the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion to pay a visit to the Marquis's wife and Miss Zhan!"

Wang Yingying bit her lower lip in grievance. Was Wang Yanyan her only biological daughter? Why did she only take her with her?

Obviously, Wang Yingying is also very outstanding!

After a long while, she said weakly, "Go away. I don't need anyone to wait on me anymore!"

The old nanny hurried away, and when she came back at noon to apply medicine to Wang Yingying, she couldn't find her.

She panicked immediately and arranged for people to look for him.

At this time, Lin Yiwan was entertaining Mrs. Wang and Wang Yanyan. She was very warm and had prepared a sumptuous meal.

Mrs. Wang actually had unrealistic fantasies in her mind. Could it be that the Marquis's wife had taken a fancy to Yan'er and wanted her to be the daughter-in-law of Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion?

She turned to look at her daughter and found that she and Zhan Miao really got along very well.

The two little girls picked up food for each other, just like real sisters.

Lin Yiwan knew that Wang Yanyan had the ability to tell fortunes, so she wanted to warn Mrs. Wang and ask her to protect her.

So she spoke first: "Madam Wang, Yan'er is a very insightful and open-minded child. She has made such great contributions to Nansheng and the people, but she is not proud at all. This is a very noble quality!"

Mrs. Wang was a little frightened. In fact, she didn't believe what Wang Yanyan said at first.

She thought it was all random divination!

He also warned her not to go out and talk nonsense, so as not to cause trouble.

Who would have thought that she actually went to the suburbs of Beijing.

When she got the news afterwards, she was almost scared to death.

Fortunately, the result was good!

She didn't think it was a credit, she felt it was a gamble made by Wang Yanyan without considering the overall situation.

She didn't want something like this to happen again because she was used to a stable and peaceful life.

She said with a complicated expression: "Madam Hou, regarding Yan'er's divination skills, I have always felt that it is unreliable. She is really a bit willful. From now on, I will discipline her and never let her talk too much!"

Lin Yiwan was also worried that the little girl's reckless use of divination techniques would harm her body, as could be seen from the backlash of her nosebleed.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "Miss Yan'er will be obedient. In the future, you should bring her to the Marquis' Mansion more often to play with Miaomiao. Look how well she gets along with others!"

Mrs. Wang was very pleased. As long as Yan'er could be valued by Lin Yiwan, her future would surely be smooth.

The two were talking when they heard Zhan Miao suddenly screaming, "Sister Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Why are you bleeding so much?"

Wang Yanyan wanted to comfort her, but her vision went dark and she fainted.

Zhan Miao immediately burst into tears: "Mom, please save Sister Yanyan!"

Lin Yiwan quickly stepped forward to check her pulse and found that her pulse was extremely chaotic and her blood was surging violently.

This is a sign that she is using divination!

She subconsciously looked at Zhan Miao: "What did you let her see?"

Zhan Miao explained aggrievedly, "It's a purse. This is the purse that Sister Youyi embroidered for me personally. It's inlaid with a few pearls. I only let her see this!"

Lin Yiwan was suddenly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Is something wrong with Youyi?

She did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered Zi'er to carry Wang Yanyan to the guest room.

Madam Wang wanted to follow, but was stopped outside by Lin Yiwan. She said in a serious tone, "Madam Wang, I will do my best to wake your daughter. Don't worry!"

Mrs. Wang was extremely terrified. Ever since Wang Yanyan accidentally fell into the water, she had been very weak and had nosebleeds from time to time, but the doctor could not find any clues.

The baby she has spoiled since childhood must not be in any danger.

She was praying outside with her hands clasped together, while Lin Yiwan's expression inside the house was also very solemn.
