Nanny Bai protected Bai Zhi behind her and slapped the servant twice.

"Are you really going against the will of heaven? Who gave you permission to hit Bai Zhi? Do you want to die?"

"I ordered you to be beaten! What, Nanny Bai wants to fight with me?" Shen Qionghua said coldly.

Nanny Bai only then saw Shen Qionghua on the steps. Her throat seemed to be strangled. She immediately softened her voice and said flatteringly, "Miss, you are finally back. I was so worried about you that I didn't sleep all night!"

Shen Qionghua looked at the object at the corner of her eye that she had not had time to wipe clean, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

"I didn't know that Nanny Bai was so powerful when I was away!"

"Miss, how can you let them beat Baizhi? Baizhi grew up with you, worked hard, and helped you with so many things. You can't beat her!" Nanny Bai preached.

Seeing that Shen Qionghua ignored her, Nanny Bai sat down on the ground and started rolling around.

"Why is my life so miserable? I've worked like a slave to take care of my wife for so many years, but in the end I can't even protect my own daughter!"

Licorice couldn't bear it anymore, so he went forward to pull Nanny Bai, but Nanny Bai pushed him away and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he was caught by Shaoyao and Poria.

Fuling has always been outspoken. "Why did you come forward to join in the fun? She deserves a lesson."

"Bah! You little bitches just can't stand seeing Bai Zhi doing well. You keep instigating her in front of the young lady all day long, trying to harm her!" Aunt Bai howled.

"Madam, please open your eyes and look! This old slave is about to be bullied to death!"

Shen Qionghua watched this farce with cold eyes, her red lips curled slightly, "Today I will not only beat Bai Zhi, I will also beat you! Come on, beat up Nanny Bai as well!"

The servant walked towards Nanny Bai, who jumped up in fright.

"You're crazy! I've been in the Shen family for so many years and haven't done anything wrong. Why are you hitting me?"

Shen Qionghua whispered a few words to Fuling, and Fuling's eyes lit up. She hurried away with two maids, and came back with a box in her hand, her face full of anger.

Nanny Bai stared at the box. The righteous and confident spirit that she had shown just now suddenly disappeared, and a trace of panic flashed across her face.

Shen Qionghua opened the box and saw gold bracelets, silver ingots, silver bills, and some small change neatly arranged inside, with a house deed at the bottom.

These things are worth nearly a thousand taels of silver.

"What else do you have to say?"

Nanny Bai rolled her eyes and said, "These are my monthly allowances over the years and the rewards from my wife. They are all mine!"

"You're talking nonsense. The monthly allowance and rewards are not that much!" Fuling said angrily.

"Hey, you little bitch, what's your business? Get out of here!" Aunt Bai scolded.

Shen Qionghua closed the lid and said, "I was wondering why so many things were missing from my mother's and my room this year. It turns out they are all here!"

Aunt Bai's eyes widened when she heard this. "Miss! I have never stolen anything!"

"Then tell me where these things came from!"

"I...I..." Nanny Bai's face turned pale and she was speechless for a long time.

Shen Qionghua sneered, and of course Nanny Bai didn't dare to say it out loud.

Most of these things were gifts from her good aunt!

"As for Bai Zhi, she persuaded me to leave the convoy, then left me without permission and went back alone. She almost caused a disaster, so she deserves to be punished!"

Shen Qionghua glanced at the people below, and they immediately understood what she meant. They took the initiative to cover Nanny Bai's mouth and beat them together with Bai Zhi on the bench.

After relieving the anger in his heart, Shen Qionghua turned around and went back to the house.

She picked up a pen and wrote a letter, then took out a heavy box from the cabinet and called Fuling in.

Among these girls, only Fuling had learned some triangular cat skills when she was wandering before entering the mansion, so she was the only one who could do this.

A quarter of an hour later, Fuling hurried towards the gate with a package.

Rongde Hall

The atmosphere was horribly depressing.

Mrs. Wu sat at the top with a jade headband on her head. After listening to her daughter-in-law Mrs. Lin's report, her face became gloomy and she swept the teacup in front of her to the ground.

"You're a jeopardizer who can't do anything right and always makes things worse. You can't even handle such a small thing. I really don't know what Yao'er saw in you in the first place!"

If it weren't for her eldest granddaughter and grandson being smart and capable, she would have asked Yaoer to divorce Lin long ago.

When the Marquis's Mansion was in decline, she was determined to find a daughter of a high-ranking family for Zhou Yaozhi to marry. However, Zhou Yaozhi went to the south of the Yangtze River and insisted on marrying the daughter of a minor official.

When a son grows up, he is no longer under the control of his mother. Mrs. Wu was so angry that she was bedridden, but she could do nothing about Zhou Yaozhi, so she finally married him.

Lin was also feeling very aggrieved at the moment, "Mom, I didn't know Hua Jie'er came back so late at night."

Lin really felt wronged. At that time, Shen Qionghua and the arranged robbers had disappeared. It was Prince An who changed the plan at the last minute, so he found someone to impersonate him.

At that time, he thought that if Shen Qionghua did not come back, only his widowed mother and younger brother would be left. If he could get rid of them without anyone knowing, the huge property would be within his grasp.

Even if the person has returned and the matter has been settled, her aunt asked Prince An to help her with this drama for the sake of her reputation. She should be grateful that she did not let the matter escalate.

As for those rumors, they were nothing more than hearsay spread by the people. Who would have known that they were the ones behind it?

Then I will ask Prince An to help clarify the matter. Shen Qionghua will definitely trust and appreciate the Marquis' Mansion and Prince An more.

However, he did not expect that an accident would happen, which almost affected the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and His Highness.

Wu picked up her cane and banged the ground, scolding, "How can you be the mistress of the house? You don't even know a living person has entered the mansion!"

"It was you who suggested attacking the Shen family. If you dare to go back on your word, I won't forgive you!"

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she quickly said, "Mother, how could you think so? Even for the sake of Brother Lin'er's future and Sister Yi'er's marriage, I won't regret it!"

"Hmph! It's good that you know. With the current status of the Marquisate, if you want to make further progress, you must help His Highness ascend to that position."

"By then, with the friendship between Yi'er and Your Highness, she will surely ascend to the throne!"

"When the Marquis's Mansion has two queens, it will be truly worry-free, and the future of Brother Lin and Brother Xuan will be bright."

Lin's heart was filled with warmth after hearing what Wu said, as if she had witnessed the scene of her daughter being crowned queen and her son being made a marquis and appointed prime minister.

"Don't worry, Mom. I know everything."

"The Imperial Concubine is the most favored concubine in the harem, and Your Highness is also highly regarded by the Emperor. We will definitely achieve our wish."

Wu then gave her a somewhat favorable look and continued, "In the past two years, the voices calling for a crown prince have grown stronger within the court."

"If we can't get the Shen family's property, there's no guarantee that the Imperial Concubine will not choose another princess for Your Highness in order to win over the court officials. By then, I'm afraid Yi'er will have no choice but to be a concubine."

"Given Yi'er's personality, can she accept it?"

Of course not. Her own daughter knew her daughter well. Yi Jieer loved Prince An and had wanted to marry him since she was a child. Even Lin herself did not want her daughter to be a concubine.

Her daughter deserves to be the most noble woman in the world.

Seeing that she had almost finished her warning, Wu finally gave her instructions: "It is inevitable that Yunmengxuan will be suspicious of this matter. Ask Yijie to control her temper and go to Yunmengxuan to find out." Then she waved her hand to let Lin leave.

Lin agreed repeatedly.

As soon as she left Rongde Hall, Lin's face immediately turned gloomy.

She pressed her fingers hard on Madam Kong's arm, her eyes dark, "Madam, all these years have passed. She's been my stepping stone, so her daughter should be my son's ladder to heaven!"

Madam Kong shuddered. The woman before her seemed to be the same girl from many years ago...
