Watching the two of them arguing with each other, Yan Mujun got goose bumps all over her body.

What made these little girls in ancient times so cunning?

I can’t beat it, I really can’t beat it!

Fortunately, Yan Muxi's marriage with Prince Rong was settled, and she could finally put her mind at ease without having to blame herself anymore.

Although it was not Yan Muxi's original intention to marry the Prince of Rong, there was no freedom of marriage in ancient times. Marrying into the Prince of Rong's mansion was better than dying at a young age.

Back at Jinyuyuan, Yan Muxi whispered a few words into Yinxia's ear.

Yin Xia was stunned after hearing this, "Miss, is it true?"

Yan Muxi nodded, "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. As long as you insist that you saw it, Yan Muqing can't deny it. You take Dongyu with you, one plays the good cop and the other plays the bad cop, and go and file a complaint. It's hard to say anything about your father, and the Su family will definitely not protect their own daughter."

In the main hall of the main courtyard, Yan's father, Su and Qian Manman were all there, and the three were discussing the Queen's marriage arrangement.

Seeing Dongyu rushing in angrily, Qian Manman anxiously asked, "Why are you here? Is Xijie upset and making a fuss?"

Dong Yu did not reply to Qian Manman's words, but looked at Father Yan who was sitting beside her, "Our young lady was pushed to the bottom of the lake and almost died. We can't just let this go. I ask you to report the case to the Dali Temple, and the perpetrators behind the crime must be brought to justice."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinxia ran in, bowed hastily, and pulled Dongyu out, "Forget it, Dongyu, we are all family, can you really report the case and have someone arrested? Fortunately, our young lady is fine, we will protect her more closely next time."

Dong Yu refused to accept the offer and broke free. "Can one of our family members disregard human life and commit such an evil act? Our young lady's crime cannot be in vain. If the master and the mistress do not care, I will go to the government office to report the case. I will fight for justice for the young lady even if I have to risk my life."

"Shut up!" Seeing that the two were getting more and more outrageous, Qian Manman asked with a sullen face, "Yinxia, ​​tell me, what's going on?"

Yinxia knelt on the ground with a plop. "Our young lady was kicked into the lake by someone. Dongyu was unwilling to see her suffer for no reason and insisted on reporting the case to the government office. I couldn't stop her."

When Dongyu came in, Su felt that things were going to go wrong. Sure enough, under Qian Manman's questioning, Yinxia said that it was her daughter who kicked Xijieer into the lake.

"How could it be done by Sister Qing? Yinxia, ​​did you see it with your own eyes?" Qian Manman was full of disbelief.

"I saw it with my own eyes. After the third young lady fell into the water, my young lady managed to keep her body steady with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, the eldest young lady kicked my young lady into the lake. When I squeezed to her, my young lady had already fallen into the water and disappeared... Everything I said is true. I beg the master and the madam to do something for my young lady." Yin Xia leaned forward and kowtowed, her expression extremely sad.

Qian Manman came back to her senses from her shock, quickly walked to Father Yan and knelt down, tears streaming down her face, "Please, my husband, make the decision for our Sister Xi."

Father Yan quickly helped her up and looked at Su, who was also shocked, and said in embarrassment: "Madam, look at this?"

Su took a deep breath and said, "Master, please rest assured. If this was really done by Sister Qing, I will definitely give Sister Xi an explanation." After saying that, she stood up and hurried away from her seat.

At Yaqing Garden, seeing Su walking quickly in, Yan Muqing quickly put down his book and went to greet her.

"Aren't you discussing with father about my second sister's marriage to Prince Rong's Mansion? How come you have time to come to my daughter's courtyard?"

"Did you see who kicked your second sister into the lake?" Su asked directly without giving Yan Muqing time to react.

Yan Muqing was stunned for a moment, "No, my second sister was kicked into the lake? Where did mother hear about this?"

"Yinxia saw with her own eyes that it was you who kicked Sister Xi into the lake. Do you still want to play dumb and deny it?" Su asked harshly.

Yan Muqing looked up in astonishment, "Impossible, it's obviously..."

"Clearly what?" Su's face was filled with disappointment. Based on her understanding of her daughter, she was most likely the one who did it. Even if she didn't do it herself, she must have been a participant behind the scenes.

"Sister Xi is your biological sister. You have no grudges against each other. Why do you keep hurting her?"

Meeting A Niang's disappointed eyes, Yan Muqing instantly became dejected. He wanted to explain but didn't know how to start.

Tell A Niang that she lived a new life or had a dream that could predict the future?

A'niang is not Yan Muyun who is easily deceived. She is very thoughtful and it is impossible for her to believe her words.

"My daughter is wrong. I will punish you as you please!"

Su got even angrier after hearing this. "Mother doesn't want you to admit your mistake, she wants to know why you did this. Xijie usually stays in the yard and doesn't fight or compete. How did she bother you?"

When a mother dies, she is unwilling to believe that her child is inherently evil and always wants to find an excuse to shirk the responsibility for the bad things he has done.

"She didn't bother me in any way, but she also bothered me in every way!" Yan Muqing held back her tears and gritted her teeth and said, "I am ashamed of having a sister as stupid as her. She didn't marry a good official family, but instead degraded herself and married the son of a merchant. She caused her sisters in the family to be ridiculed and plotted against..."

With a crisp "pop" sound, Yan Muqing's face tilted to one side.

Su looked at her numb palms and was stunned for a long time before she looked at her daughter's red and swollen cheeks.

In her more than thirty years of life, she had never been beaten by her elders, nor had she ever punished her children. This was the first time.

I felt mixed emotions, angry, guilty, and distressed, "Qing Jie'er~ Mother..."

Yan Muqing suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground, "My daughter deserves to be beaten. It was my daughter who did this. Mother, please punish her!"

"You!" Su clenched her fists in her sleeves, took several deep breaths to suppress the surging emotions in her heart, and asked again, "You kicked Sister Xi into the water, so is Sister Yun's falling into the water related to you?"

Yan Muqing denied it, "My third sister falling into the water has nothing to do with my daughter."

"So you're saying that you saw Sister Yun fall into the water, and on a whim you kicked Sister Xi into the water as well?"

Seeing that her daughter remained silent and did not deny it, Su became so angry that she felt dizzy and her vision went dark. She fell forward uncontrollably.

Yan Muqing quickly got up from the ground and went forward to support her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The dizziness lasted only for a moment. Su rubbed his swollen forehead and pulled his arm away from Yan Muqing's arms.

"Go to the small Buddhist temple and kneel down first! I will discuss this with your father and then decide how to punish you."

At the end of the Shen period, the news that the eldest daughter had been confined to the small Buddhist temple for half a year and was beaten with twenty bamboo boards every three days spread in a small circle in the mansion.

The weather had not yet warmed up, and the small Buddhist temple was unusually cold. Making the little girl kneel in the temple was considered a very severe punishment, and she would also be beaten with a bamboo stick every few days.

After this punishment, it is still unknown whether Yan Muqing's body, which has just recovered from illness, can withstand it.

Before dinner, Dongyu reported the news she had inquired about with a look of regret, "Madam watched Mother Yin beat her with bamboo boards. After twenty bamboo boards, Miss's calves were swollen and fatter than steamed buns. Madam is really cruel!"

For the first time, Dongyu felt that her own daughter’s mother was better than her eldest daughter’s mother. When her own daughter made a mistake, her mother not only couldn’t bear to beat or scold her, but also protected her every time without any reason. How wonderful!

People couldn't help but think of her. Just as Dong Yu was thinking of the few good things about Qian Manman, Qian Manman walked in with her slender waist twisted.
