Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 171: Fake Gold, She is Peerless (3)

Chen subconsciously protected Xue Lingwan, held her in her arms, and said to Shi Qing in a cold voice.

"Qingqing, your sister has suffered a lot of grievances and has just returned. How can you let her get hurt? Has your mother hired a teacher for you all these years? Was it all in vain?"

The woman traveling with Chen was Mrs. Wang, the censor of Chang'an City. She was also a well-known figure in Chang'an City. When she encountered injustice against women, she would stand up.

"God damn it, can't you see that the one who was injured is your eldest daughter?"

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang took out a handkerchief and bandaged the wound on Shi Qing's wrist.

Shi Qing did not defend himself, but just held his wrist in silence, tears falling silently.

Chen's face looked a little embarrassed, and then she remembered that Madam Wang was there. According to the plan, Ling Wan should be the one who got hurt.

She didn't know what had happened in the boudoir, but she couldn't let Mrs. Wang tell the truth, otherwise Ling Wan's reputation would be ruined.

"Mother, I have never been harsh on my sister."

Mrs. Wang looked at Chen coldly. She had heard about the recent events in the Xue family. She heard that the original eldest daughter of the Xue family was actually a peasant girl who was replaced by a concubine in the mansion.

Xue Lingwan is the nominal eldest daughter of the Xue family. It is said that she was exchanged two days ago. It is said that Chen is reluctant to give up her adopted daughter, so she told others that she will take good care of both daughters until they get married.

Outsiders all said that Chen had a kind heart, and the government praised her highly.

However, when the world and the noble ladies of Chang'an City looked at Xue Lingqing again, they no longer had the same respect as before.

If she were the eldest daughter of the Xue family, she would still be the most talented woman in Chang'an.

It’s just that I don’t have the blessing of a family background, so that’s all.

Today, Chen originally wanted to use today's incident to discredit Xue Lingqing's reputation.

She has been preparing for many years just for the good fortune of the Duke of Zhengguo's Mansion. She has raised Xue Lingqing for so many years, and it is time for her to do something.

Chen said coldly, "Ever since your sister came back, you've been making a fuss and shouting for war and killing, fearing someone would take away your favor. Tomorrow you're going to commit suicide. My dear, do you really want to cause such unrest in our family?"

Xue Lingwan nestled in Chen's arms, watching this wonderful show. She knew that her mother was paving the way for her, and Xue Lingqing's existence was only for the bright future of the Xue family.

She has enjoyed the Xue family's wealth for so many years, so it's time for her to do something.

Mrs. Wang felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so she quickly protected Shi Qing by her side like a child.

"This matter shouldn't be interfered with by an outsider like me. But Madam Xue, you are still young. How could you be so blind and blind at such a young age? If you can't be fair, why not send the eldest daughter away to be raised somewhere else? That way, you won't be biased."

Mrs. Wang's words were a little ambivalent, but those who knew her knew that she had clearly restrained herself a bit.

Chen looked a little embarrassed, and she racked her brains to think about how to resolve the conflict.

"Madam Wang, you're joking. They're both my dearest children. How could I bear to send Qingqing away? I've loved her so much over the years."

Xue Lingwan felt a little resentful. Her mother always said that she was paving the way for her, so why was she so reluctant to let Xue Lingqing leave the Xue family? Was she just trying to coax her before?

Shi Qingying bowed and knelt in front of Chen, kowtowed heavily.

"Mother is right. I know I was wrong, but my sister doesn't like me right now. I'm afraid of damaging the family harmony, so I'm going to Qinglong Temple to accompany my grandmother."

The old lady of the Xue family has devoted herself to Buddhism in the past two years and has not been concerned about any affairs in the mansion. In the original plot, she left Buddhism twice, both times for Xue Lingqing's affairs.

Xue's parents were not unaware of the baby swap. A few years ago, after the two baby girls were switched, Chen had no intention of raising a daughter who was not her own, so she gave the infant Ling Qing to the old lady to raise.

The old lady came from a distinguished family. She was the daughter of the Xie family, a prominent family in Chang'an City with a long history. The girls of the Xie family were born with extraordinary looks, and the noble ladies of the Xie family were trained to become queens in the palace since childhood.

The Xie family had two queens, and one of them gave birth to the eldest prince, which ensured the Xie family's wealth for hundreds of years.

She fell in love with the head of the Xue family at first sight. When the top scholar Xue was parading in the streets, he and the old lady looked at each other from afar in the crowd and fell in love with each other.

The old lady was engaged to the Xue family, and her youngest sister, Xie Qingzhu, entered the palace as a concubine.

After Xue Lingqing was brought back to the Xue family, the couple found a wet nurse and directly left Xue Lingqing to the care of the old lady, while they focused on taking care of their eldest son.

Chen felt a little headache. Her original intention was to let Xue Lingwan step on Xue Lingqing and become the leader among the noble ladies in Chang'an City.

However, Xue Lingqing retreated to advance and disrupted her plan.

"Qingqing, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the daughter of the Xue family and you are of marriageable age. Why are you going to a Buddhist temple?"

Shi Qing sneered in her heart. The beads on Chen's abacus were really noisy. She knew what Chen was thinking without much speculation. She wanted to continue borrowing her luck, but she didn't know if the Xue family could bear it.

Xue Lingwan was worried that if Xue Lingqing continued to stay in the Xue family, she would always be outdone by her. Since she wanted to leave the Xue family, why not help her?

Anyway, Xue Lingqing's reputation and status all rely on the title of Xue family's daughter. Now that I'm back, Xue Lingqing should give it up.

"Mom, my sister must be missing grandma. Why don't you just fulfill her wish?"

Mrs. Wang also knew that Xue Lingqing was raised by the old lady. If she continued to stay in the Xue family, she didn't know what this biased pair of parents would do. It would be better for her to leave the Xue family and find another way out.

"Madam Xue, now that the Second Young Miss has just returned, you should know that no matter how you raise a child, it's impossible to treat them equally. It would be bad if the relationship between mother and daughter was damaged, don't you think?

It would be better to let the young lady go to the Buddhist temple to accompany the old lady. Your old lady is very wise and will definitely comfort the young lady."

When Chen heard this, she felt a little hesitant, but with Lady Wang here, she couldn't ruin her reputation. Perhaps if she agreed, it wouldn't cause too much trouble.

"Never mind. You and the old lady have always had a good relationship. I heard that she recently caught a cold. It would be a good idea for you to go to Qinglong Temple to accompany her and take care of her."

Shi Qing responded obediently, "Yes, daughter understands."

Mrs. Wang also said casually, "Mrs. Chen, thank you for bothering me today. I think you have something else to do. I will take my leave now."

Chen quickly asked Nanny Zheng to see her off, and she immediately felt relieved.

"Alright, Qingqing, you just reacted quickly. Madam Wang shouldn't speak carelessly. Don't mention going to Qinglong Temple anymore. Your marriage to Xuanjin is approaching, so don't cause trouble for no reason."

Shi Qing shook her head and said firmly, "Mother, I am powerless to change what happened back then. It's just that my sister has just returned home and needs your love. It's inevitable that she would be unhappy to see me. I don't want to make my sister upset."

When Xue Lingwan heard Shi Qing's words, her expression changed immediately and she gritted her teeth.

"Xue Lingqing, what do you mean by that? Do you think you're some green tea bastard from a storybook, trying to drive a wedge between me and my mother? If you know what's good for you, you should get out of Chang'an City."

As she spoke, Xue Lingwan raised her hand and wanted to slap Shi Qing, but Shi Qing held her hand in his palm. She spoke in a slightly cold voice.

"Sister, for your reputation, I have been tolerant. Why are you being so unreasonable?"

Tears welled up in Shi Qing's eyes. She bit her lips and said nothing, her face full of silence.

Pretending to be green tea or white lotus is no big deal.

The Xue family has to leave.

Most of the maids in Lanting Garden had received favors from the original owner. Seeing Xue Lingqing being bullied by the second lady, many of them lost their patience.

Fuling cried and said, "Madam, please help our young lady. If she doesn't leave the Xue family, her life will be in danger."

"What do you mean?"

Chen frowned unhappily, her tone gloomy, and her cold gaze made people shiver.

Fuling was not afraid at all, she wanted to seek justice for the young lady.

"When I was delivering lunch to the young lady just now, she was attacked by someone and there were marks on her neck. If I had come later, Madam would not have been able to see her again."

"Fuling, stop talking..."

Shi Qing waited until Fuling finished speaking, then pretended to stop her. Didn’t the mother and daughter like to listen to a double act? What was wrong with her performing one with Fuling?

Xue Lingwan's face froze slightly. She didn't seem to have expected that the matter would be exposed. She just blamed her subordinates for their incompetence.

Otherwise, would Xue Lingqing still be so kind in front of him?

She asked Shi Qing to step forward and looked at Shi Qing's neck carefully. She really saw a circle of marks from being strangled. Even though it was covered with makeup, it was still quite serious.

Chen glanced at Xue Lingwan and saw her looking away guiltily, as if she didn't understand something.

It seems that this matter is related to Ling Wan. Chen was also worried about complications, so she made a quick decision to send Xue Lingqing to Qinglong Temple.

As for Ling Wan, she would find an opportunity to arrange the marriage for Ling Wan at the Duke's Mansion.

Chen pretended to hug Shi Qing and burst into tears, "Qingqing, why didn't you tell me about this? I made you suffer. Well, you wanted to go to Qinglong Temple to seek peace and quiet, but I agreed, so what?"

From beginning to end, Chen never proposed to find out the real culprit, but only said that the Xue family should strengthen their precautions in the future and not let others take advantage of the opportunity.

Shi Qing trembled lightly and said, "My daughter is not by my mother's side. I hope my mother and sister are well."

Xue Lingwan said sarcastically, "Stop pretending. I'm so happy that you left me. Don't bother me anymore."

Chen's face looked somewhat embarrassed. Xue Lingwan was so arrogant and uneducated. What should she do in the future?

It seems that we need to invite a nanny from the palace to teach Lingwan the proper manners. Otherwise, no matter who she marries in the future, it will not be a good thing for the Xue family.

After comforting Shi Qing, Chen took the noisy Xue Lingwan away.

Shi Qing watched the mother and daughter leave, then yawned and said to Fuling.

"Pack your bags and go to Qinglong Temple tonight."

Fuling nodded, but she was still confused.

"Miss, Madam said she would be fair, but she always favors the Second Miss. Why did you ask to leave just now?"

She was a little confused. The young lady was going to marry the prince of the Duke's Mansion, so why should she leave at this time? The second young lady didn't get along with the young lady in the first place, so what should she do if she lost the Xue family's ceremonial procession?

"There's a world of difference between a biological daughter and an adopted daughter, after all. Fuling, you saw the answer just now, didn't you?"

Fuling seemed to be lost in thought, but when she heard what Shi Qing said, she suddenly realized that the lady's heart was already biased. To Miss Yu, the Xue family was a place of tigers and wolves.

"The servant knows."

Shi Qing patted Fuling's shoulder and said, "Alright, pack my things and prepare the carriage. From now on, I'll be relying on you to guard Lanting Pavilion."

Fuling was horrified. She grabbed Shi Qing's sleeve tightly and said uneasily.

"Miss, are you not going to let me accompany you? Or do you dislike my lack of intelligence and don't want me to follow you?"

Shi Qing shook his head. Although Fuling was a little silly, he was a loyal servant. There must be a reason why Shi Qing left her there.

"Fuling is the one who understands my thoughts best. Bringing you with me can help me solve my problems. But Fuling, I need you to stay and find out the news from the Xue Mansion."

Fuling was a little girl that Xue Lingqing rescued from human traffickers when she was a child and was out playing on the street. She used all the money she had to redeem Fuling.

Fuling is not a member of the Xue family, nor is she a child born in the family. She is Xue Lingqing's own person.

"As long as you don't abandon me, Fuling will complete whatever you arrange. Please rest assured, I will obey you."
