My eunuch An is a yandere

Bai Ningwei said that the most appropriate punishment would be to ask the emperor to decide on this matter.

Of course, Concubine Shu knew that she couldn't trouble the emperor with this matter, so she had to reluctantly take her people away.

Bai Ningwei finally felt relieved. If she really brought this to Xiao Duo's attention, she would be in big trouble.

The man is the breadwinner and the woman is the homemaker. How dare you trouble him with such a small matter? Are we just keeping so many people around to feed them?

Although Concubine Shu is gone, Chen Xiunü’s story is not over yet.

After sending the others away, Bai Ningwei asked Xiao Yuan'er to come to her side, and went forward to check on Chen Xiunv's injuries.

Xiao Yuan'er looked over, bowed obediently, and said aggrievedly.

"Mother Hui, Chen Xinxin is the daughter of Censor Chen and was my former study partner. The two slaps that Concubine Shu gave her just now were too harsh. If she gets a scar on her face..."

Bai Ningwei actually guessed it.

Before Xiao Yuan'er could finish her words, Gualv let out a low cry of surprise.

Bai Ningwei's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw Gualv putting Chen Xiuniu's hand back to her cheek and shaking his head at her.

Knowing that things might be more troublesome than they thought, Bai Ningwei immediately made arrangements.

"Take the man back to Lingqi Palace and call a doctor to treat external injuries."

In Lingqi Palace, while waiting for the imperial physician, Bai Ningwei wanted to check Chen Xinxin's injuries in person, but Gualv reached out to stop her.

"My Lady, Chen Xiunu's wound is unsightly, so it's better not to look at it."

Bai Ningwei was puzzled. How serious could the injury be from two slaps? But she was a person who listened to advice. If she was not allowed to see the green card, then forget it.

When the imperial physician arrived, Chen Xinxin put down her hand tremblingly. Bai Ningwei could see from a distance that Chen Xinxin's right cheek was red and swollen.

After examining the wound, the imperial physician ordered someone to bring water, clean the wound, and apply medicine. He was busy for a while before returning to report to Bai Ningwei.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, Consort De, I'm afraid this young lady's face cannot be cured."

The imperial physician shook his head regretfully after saying this, thinking it was a pity to waste such a beautiful face.

"Why can't it be cured? I just slapped you when I heard it."

"Your Majesty, you may not know that this girl's face is not only red and swollen from the slap, but also scratched by a sharp weapon. Most importantly, the sharp weapon probably contained something bad, and the wound will leave obvious marks after it heals."

"Shufei! It must be Shufei. The one who beat Sister Chen was a palace maid, and she was wearing a ring. The ring must be poisoned! But how could a palace maid have poison? It must have been Shufei's instruction."

Without waiting for Bai Ningwei to ask any more questions, Xiao Yuan'er lost her temper and started shouting for justice for her former study partner.

Bai Ningwei held her shoulders and stared at the imperial physician and asked.

"Are you sure whether poison was used?"

When the imperial physician heard that the matter involved Concubine Shu and the poison, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth for telling him to stop talking.

"I dare not make a rash judgment."

The Shufei was pregnant and the Defei was powerful, so the imperial physicians dared not offend either of them and could hardly speak smoothly.

"You just said there was something bad on the wound."

Xiao Yuan'er was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Bai Ningwei patted her soothingly and asked the imperial physician to finish what he was saying.

"You need to see the truth clearly. A beautiful lady's face was destroyed, and someone in the palace was hiding poison. This matter cannot be taken lightly."

The imperial physician wiped his sweat quickly. He was about to reach retirement age, but why did he encounter such a bad thing at the last minute?

"Rong Weichen will go and confirm it again."

After saying that, he trotted over to Chen Xinxin and looked at her again and again.

A distressed reply.

"The girl's wound wasn't big, so it's hard to say if it was poison. I can only confirm that it was stained with something unclean, probably ink or something like that."

Ink, that's equivalent to tattooing.

Fortunately, Bai Ningwei asked a few more questions, otherwise, if she had really allowed Xiao Yuan'er to go find Concubine Shu, she would not be able to clean up the mess.

Xiao Yuan'er wanted to say something else, but Bai Ningwei stopped her.

"In that case, try your best to treat it. No matter what medicine you use, as long as it helps, give it a try."

"Mother Hui!"

"Yuan'er, calm down. Without solid evidence, acting impulsively will only put you in a passive position."

For destroying a concubine's face, Concubine Shu would not receive any substantial punishment.

"Go talk to her, and bring her to me when she's calmed down."

Xiao Yuan'er looked at Chen Xinxin who was crying beside her, nodded and walked away.

After two sticks of incense, Chen Xinxin stopped crying and came over to pay her respects with red eyes.

"Your humble servant thanks Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort for saving my life."

"What are your plans for the future?"

It is impossible for Chen Xinxin to pass the talent show. Not only can she not enter the imperial family, but she can't even get married to someone of equal social status.

Now she seemed to have only two choices: either become a nun or leave her family and establish a household for her daughters. But neither of these two options was a good one.

Even if she married down, no scholar would be willing to marry her. Marrying a peddler was too big a gap, and it would drive a once-proud daughter of a wealthy family crazy. Even seeking a son-in-law was out of the question, as Censor Chen already had a son, and Chen Xinxin didn't have the conditions to seek one.

"I don't know either."

Chen Xinxin's future can be said to be dark. The little girl shook her head helplessly. She had only heard of humiliated women becoming nuns or committing suicide, but she had never even heard of women committing suicide.

"You can't even stay in the palace as a maid in your current state. You don't have any special skills, so you can't stay at home forever."

Chen Xinxin's tears fell even harder. The education she received since childhood told her that staying at home as an old maid was a shame to the family and would affect the marriages of other sisters of the same clan.

"Besides, a woman's appearance is so important. Do you want to seek revenge for her disfigurement?"

Chen Xinxin naturally wanted revenge. Destroying her face was equivalent to forcing her to death. The hatred between life and death was irreconcilable.

"I have a solution that's not really a solution. It may sound crazy, but I can guarantee that you can get revenge and live peacefully in the sunshine for the rest of your life."

"I'll send you home to say goodbye to your parents. From now on, you'll disguise yourself as a man and help me with some things outside. In a few years, when Yuan'er has chosen a husband and built a princess's mansion, if you want to return to being a woman, you can ask her to be a female official in the mansion."

Chen Xinxin was so shocked that even her tears stopped. She stuttered for a long time before she found her voice.

"A woman dressed as a man? Like in the opera?"

"Yes. It just so happens that I want to start some business outside the palace and need manpower. If you are willing, you can give it a try. If not, you can hide at home for a few years. In short, Yuan'er will not leave you without a place to go."

Xiao Yuan'er nodded at Chen Xinxin. No matter what her former study partner chose, she would arrange it for her after the mansion was built.

Chen Xinxin fell silent. Her upbringing had taught her that retreating back home and waiting for the princess to build her own residence was the right path. But Concubine De's words also hammered at her anxious heart. With no special skills, and no way to protect herself except crying when things got tough, was this really the life she wanted?

Some decisions are hard to make, but some experiences are enough to help you grow as a person once in a lifetime. And she hated it, so she wanted revenge.

"Please give me a name, Madam."

Bai Ningwei raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Chen Xinxin, who looked delicate and easy to push, was actually very courageous and quite likable.

"The rising sun signifies a new life. From now on, I'll call you Chen Xu."
