Shen Qingqing was suddenly cueed and immediately stood up straight, "Okay, mother."
Bai Xuxu wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, then lazily glanced at the mother and daughter, whose feet were numb from their knees, and said softly: "Get up."
"Yes." Zhang Youyi had a smile on her face and helped her daughter up to persuade her: "Why don't you thank me soon, Madam."
Shen Qingyue gritted her teeth and endured the pain, bending slightly, "Thank you, madam."
Bai Xuxu glanced at her unconvinced little face from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "Let me remind you one last time, the most important thing is self-knowledge. If you can't recognize your own identity, there will always be someone to teach you."
"Yes, my daughter has been taught a lesson." Shen Qingyue looked unwillingly as Bai Xuxu reached out and pulled Shen Qingqing away.
The jealousy in her eyes almost ignited her whole body. Why did she only have this daughter in her eyes? As a mistress, shouldn't she care for every child equally?
Why have I worked so hard since I was little and still can't get a second look from her?
Zhang Yuji held Shen Qingyue in distress, "My good boy, it hurts when you kneel down. Really, is His Highness the Crown Prince someone you can contradict? If it weren't for the sake of the Shen family, he wouldn't let you go so easily." .”
The more Shen Qingyue talked, the more depressed she became. She simply pushed Zhang Youyu away and ran out, "I don't want you to worry about my affairs."
My knees were numb from kneeling for too long, and I fell to the ground awkwardly. I was helped up by Lao Wang, "Miss Third, are you okay?"
When she saw it was the gardener in the house, Shen Qingyue glared at him fiercely, "Who allows a low-class person like you to touch me? Get your dirty hands off!"
Lao Wang hid the hurt in his eyes, retracted his hand and took a few steps back, "I'm sorry, Miss Three."
"Humph, a servant is a servant. Recognize your identity."
Shen Qingyue inherently disliked this man. She saw him in her mother's yard several times. Although the two of them did not act excessively, it also aroused Shen Qingyue's dissatisfaction.
Every time she saw Lao Wang, she didn't have a good look on her face. Zhang Yougui couldn't do anything to her, so she had to sigh deeply.
Shen Qingqing followed Bai Xuxu around the huge Shen Mansion. To be honest, although she had only been here for a short period of time, she had not yet fully explored the Shen Mansion.
"Mom, where are you taking me?"
Bai Xuxu stopped in front of a rockery, "Take a closer look to see if there is anything special."
Shen Qingqing looked at this place that looked like any other rockery. For an excellent mercenary, no matter what ingenious mechanism it was, she could not escape her eyes.
Sure enough, after a few seconds, she touched a bump in the area blocked by green plants, and the rockery opened.
Bai Xuxu looked at her daughter with relief. It took only a short time, and it turned out to be this seedling.
"Is that so, mother?"
"You did a great job. It took less time than I thought. You are about to get married and are already an adult. It's time for you to know some secrets of the Shen family."
Shen Qingqing followed Bai Xuxu into the secret passage. The last time she rescued Fenxiang, she only saw the tip of the iceberg.
"Mother, how come the underground of the Shen family is dug like a maze?"
"It has many functions, including fending off enemies, protecting the Shen family, and even storing things. This is a map of the underground palace. Look carefully and I will explain it to you."
A piece of parchment paper fell on Shen Qingqing's hand, and she unfolded it slowly. This picture must have been drawn for a long time, and some yellowing marks can be seen.
"Can you understand?" Bai Xuxu asked.
Shen Qingqing nodded, "Well, you'll get used to it if you look around more. We are in this position, right?" This chapter has been completed!
