"The madam had already fainted when she was brought back. The second girl... my lord, it is better for you to go and see for yourself!"
Because it was so miserable, Butler He couldn't describe it in words for a moment.
Uncle Pingchang didn't know how injured Yan Qinglian was at first, until he entered the boudoir and saw Yan Qinglian's appearance at first glance, Uncle Pingchang was stunned for several seconds.
"This...who is this?"
Yan Qinglian felt angry and aggrieved when she saw that her father did not recognize her, and there was a look of disbelief and disgust in his eyes.
"Dad, I am Lian'er..."
Hearing this familiar voice, Ping Changbo reacted belatedly, but he really couldn't accept that his beautiful daughter's face had been ruined like this!
"Lian...Lian'er, your face...who did this? It's simply lawless!"
Uncle Pingchang wanted to touch Yan Qinglian's face, but it was too unrecognizable, no different from a pig in a pigsty, so he couldn't do it for a while.
The personal maid Ying Xing cried and said: "My lord, it was His Highness King Dingbei who ordered someone to do this. Our girl's life is so miserable. It is clear that Concubine Zhuang admitted the wrong person, but His Highness said that our girl pretended to be someone else with ulterior motives and beat her."
I slapped the girl fifty times!"
When Uncle Pingchang heard that Qi Jue had ordered the beating, he immediately became silent.
He, a declining earl, still dares to go against the prince of the Tian family? And he is also the most favored King of Dingbei at the moment, unless he wants to get rid of the entire Yan family!
"But His Royal Highness King Dingbei is so good, why would he be so harsh on Lian'er? What is going on?"
Before Yingxing could speak, Yan Qinglian grabbed Pingchang Bo's hand and said, "Dad, it's Yan Qinglian, she's that bitch. I don't know what kind of tricks she used to get His Highness to take her to the palace to attend the flower viewing banquet.
Originally, Concubine Zhuang liked her daughter very much, and even hinted in front of everyone that the position of Princess Dingbei must belong to her daughter, but all this beauty changed from the moment Yan Mingzhu appeared!"
While speaking, Yan Qinglian spat poison in her eyes. If looks could kill, Yan Qinglian at this moment would like to cut Yan Mingzhu into pieces in order to relieve the hatred in her heart!
Uncle Pingchang looked embarrassed, "Lian'er, you also know the situation in our Earl's Mansion. Naturally, my father wants to avenge you. But if my father really confronts King Dingbei, with his ruthless personality, our whole
I’m afraid everyone from the Yan family will have to be buried with him!”
"No, daddy, this is not the fault of His Highness King Dingbei. Your Highness's heavenly appearance must have been temporarily bewitched by that bitch Yan Mingzhu. As long as Yan Mingzhu disappears completely, His Highness will definitely see the good in his daughter!"
Yan Qinglian is really a warrior, even after being beaten like this, she is still obsessed with Qi Jue and would not marry anyone other than Qing.
"But His Highness is protecting her, so... what should we do next?"
Yan Qinglian gritted her teeth sinisterly and said: "Dig out the Yuan family's coffin, and Yan Mingzhu will naturally come to the Earl's Mansion. When the time comes, my daughter will make her have no shame in leaving the mansion!"
Originally, Yan Qinglian just wanted to trap Yan Mingzhu in the Earl's Mansion and prevent her from contacting Qi Jue, but now it seems that she must completely destroy this bitch to break the connection between her and Qi Jue!
The sun went down and Yan Mingzhu just finished seeing the last patient.
She stood up and stretched, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Zhuang Ke curled up on a small bench in the corner and fell asleep at some point.
After letting this little ancestor take care of him all afternoon, he still hasn't run away. If Duke Zhuang Guo knew about this, he would probably be so happy that his teeth would fall out.
"Young Master? Wake up."
Zhuang Ke woke up in a daze, rubbed the corners of his eyes and yawned, "Are you done?"
"I've finished reading, and the shop is about to close. I'm afraid I'm tired today, so please go back to the Duke's Mansion to rest. I'll give you this angelica to replenish your strength."
Zhuang Ke was still a little dazed in his sleep. He instinctively reached out to take it, then suddenly woke up and said, "Miss Yan San, I will take you back!"
"No need, the shop is only a few steps away from the Marquis' Mansion. It's not like I don't know the way. I've had a hard day today, young master. You should go back quickly."
But Zhuang Ke wouldn't listen, because he had decided that no matter what, he would let his eldest nephew marry Yan Mingzhu.
Therefore, he had to stay by Yan Mingzhu's side and guard against her meeting the Ming family.
He, the number one bully in the imperial capital, can never be compared to that guy Ming Zizhan!
"As the saying goes, you are sending Buddha to the West. I have been with you this far, and there are only two steps left to go. Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and get on the carriage!"
With no other choice, Yan Mingzhu could only follow Zhuang Ke into the carriage.
On the way back, the carriage stopped for a while at the entrance of Ruyizhai. When Zhuang Ke came up again, Yan Mingzhu was shocked by his posture of carrying large and small bags left and right.
"Young Master, why did you buy so many snacks? Besides, didn't you already buy a lot today?"
Zhuang Ke unanimously recommended it to Yan Mingzhu, "These are all for you."
Yan Mingzhu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "But I can't eat so much. Young Master, you'd better take it back..."
"It's not for you alone, it's for the entire Yongyi Hou Mansion. There are all the family members in your house, old and young. I still feel that such a small amount of snacks is not enough for you to share!"
Although Zhuang Ke is usually very generous, Yan Mingzhu feels that starting from the afternoon, Zhuang Ke has been a little too attentive.
But logically speaking, she has already made her words so clear, so he shouldn't be so enthusiastic.
For a moment, Yan Mingzhu, as smart as he was, couldn't figure out what was going on in this young man's head.
"Miss Yan San, there are so many things, it's hard for you to carry them alone, how about I help you carry them in together? Where should we go in, the front door, the back door, or... is there some secret passage?"
Before Yan Mingzhu could answer, Zhuang Ke had already taken half of the snacks, with an expression on his face like "I'm just a good guy, I want to help you carry something."
Of course, Zhuang Ke would not admit it, he just wanted to get inside.
Bribing off the family members she is closest to and cares about is the first step to successfully marry her nephew to a wife!
The whole family of the Hou Mansion was waiting for Yan Mingzhu to have dinner. Yuan Yi smiled and heard the footsteps outside for the first time.
"My cousin must be back!"
Yuan Yi smiled and ran out happily, but before she could see Yan Mingzhu, she saw a strange boy face to face.
Yuan Yixiao was so frightened that she immediately stopped the car, while Zhuang Ke greeted her very familiarly: "It's our first time meeting you. Hello."
"Cousin, who is this? Why did he enter our home?"
Yuan Yixiao held Yan Mingzhu's hand warily, hid away from her, and then carefully used her peripheral vision to catch Xun Zhuang Ke.
