Chen Qingyin was also very surprised: "Is the Ninth Prince so cruel?"
It really doesn't look like it!
Liang Ruosheng covered her mouth and cried.
After listening to her complaints, Hu Mianmian finally knew the truth.
The ninth prince Xiao Jingli wanted Hu Mianmian to accompany him to study, but when he saw Liang Ruosheng, he got angry on the spot.
He also said that his whole family was playing tricks on him.
So, Xiao Jingli, in a rage, picked up the inkstone in front of him and threw it over.
Liang Ruosheng was just baring her teeth and smiling to please, but who could have thought that the inkstone would hit her teeth, causing them to shatter and bleed instantly.
Not only did Xiao Jingli not calm down, but he called her a fool who didn't even know how to hide from Yan Tai.
In the end, Liang Ruosheng was taken out of the palace crying.
Old Madam Hu felt heartbroken when she saw Liang Ruosheng crying.
"Chen Qingyin, your daughter is really incredible. She angered the Ninth Prince and pushed someone else, Ruosheng, to get beaten?"
Chen Qingyin came back to her senses: "Mother, don't talk nonsense. First of all, Miss Liang asked to enter the palace in place of Mianmian. Secondly, we didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would suddenly hit someone."
Hu Mianmian's little face was pale and looked terrified.
"Yes, he's so scary!"
Fortunately, she didn't go today.
Liang Ruosheng glared at Hu Mianmian with resentment.
I thought it was a blessing from heaven, but it turned out to be bad luck.
Liang Yunyan wiped away her tears and stared at Chen Qingyin: "Now that Ruosheng has been beaten like this, if Madam still has a conscience, she shouldn't let it go."
Chen Qingyin frowned: "Then what do you want? Let me go to the Ninth Prince to seek justice? In whose name? The Hu Mansion?"
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she instantly became unhappy.
"How can that be possible? How high of an official is our Yun Shen? If he offends His Majesty the Ninth Prince, he won't know how he will be retaliated. You will naturally have to ask your father to come forward and seek justice for Ruo Sheng."
Chen Qingyin sneered.
"That's fine. There's no problem for my father to go find the Ninth Prince. When the time comes, the Emperor will inevitably call Miss Liang into the palace for questioning. It just so happens that Madam Liang is the widow of a soldier who has already died. The Emperor will definitely punish the Ninth Prince severely."
As she said that, she picked up Hu Mianmian and said, "I'll go find my father now."
Old Madam Hu and Liang Yunyan's faces changed drastically at the same time. They both rushed over, one grabbed Chen Qingyin's sleeve and the other stopped her.
Madam Hu: "Qingyin, why are you so impatient? You're in a hurry to leave before I've even finished speaking."
Chen Qingyin turned her head and looked at Liang Yunyan who was pulling her sleeve. Liang Yunyan felt embarrassed and quickly withdrew her hand.
Chen Qingyin then said innocently, "Of course I have to go. Miss Liang's teeth have been knocked out. Can we just let this go?"
Chen Qingyin returned Liang Yunyan's words exactly as they were spoken.
Old Madam Hu turned pale and glared at Liang Yunyan fiercely.
As for Liang Ruosheng's shameful identity, if it really gets out of hand and gets to the emperor's knowledge, and if it's thoroughly investigated, everything will be over.
Do the Hu family still want to be human beings?
Liang Yunyan had no choice but to admit her mistake to Chen Qingyin.
"Madam, please forgive me. I was anxious and impulsive when I saw Ruosheng was injured. Now I have calmed down and thought clearly. Ruosheng was just unlucky. There is nothing we can do about it."
Liang Ruosheng sobbed aggrievedly, licking her two empty front teeth with the tip of her tongue, tears streaming down her face.
Chen Qingyin sneered secretly.
She had no intention of actually going to the palace.
After all, Liang Ruosheng was of such status that she was not qualified to help him seek justice
. Chen Qingyin waved her sleeves and said, "Since you all said so, forget it. Next time, Miss Liang, be careful and think clearly whether you are suitable before making a decision."
When she made her attitude known, Liang Yunyan felt her self-esteem was hurt.
If it were normal, she would definitely retort, but now, she was afraid that Chen Qingyin would continue to dwell on the issue, so she could only lower her head in disappointment.
"What the Madam said is correct."
Only then did Chen Qingyin take Hu Mianmian and leave.
The little guy was absent-minded along the way.
Chen Qingyin couldn't help but ask: "Mianmian, you probably haven't seen the Ninth Prince, right? Is there something that your mother doesn't know?"
Looking at her mother's caring eyes, Hu Mianmian shook her little head like a rattle.
"I haven't seen it, I really haven't seen it!"
Her little expression, full of guilt, did not escape Chen Qingyin's eyes.
But Chen Qingyin couldn't ask anything else and could only bury this doubt in her heart.
At night, Hu Mianmian had a rare nightmare.
In the dream, the big white tiger pressed her to the ground with one claw.
Hu Mianmian was trembling while holding her furry fox tail, only to see the opponent's sharp fangs close at hand, flashing with cold light.
The little guy couldn't exert any strength and cried out in anxiety.
"Don't eat me!"
"I won't eat you," Bai Hu sneered, "I just want to pull out your teeth and make you like Liang Ruosheng."
Hu Mianmian covered her mouth with her little hands in horror and shook her head desperately.
I can't live without teeth!
How can I eat meat?
As the white tiger approached, the little guy suddenly woke up.
The night was dark and all around was quiet.
Her beautiful mother was sleeping beside her. Hu Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her little hands.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Hu Mianmian decided that next time she saw the Ninth Prince, she would avoid him and not have sex with him.
When she figured it out, she arched her little butt, snuggled into her mother's arms, and fell asleep with her chubby face.
*
I don't know if the emperor warned Xiao Jingli, but in any case he no longer insisted on asking Hu Mianmian to come to the palace to study with him.
The little guy lived peacefully for a few days and put the incident behind him.
Because Liang Ruosheng lost her front teeth, she stayed in her room every day for fear of being laughed at by others.
Winter is coming, and the leaves in the yard are falling heavily.
Old Madam Hu called Chen Qingyin to the main house and talked about what happened in the previous house.
"Qingyin, the title deed to the house we lived in before we moved should still be in your hands, right?"
Chen Qingyin nodded: "Of course I am, what's the matter?"
She had bought the house with her dowry. If the deed wasn't with her, who else could it be with?
Mrs. Hu's question was really unnecessary!
"Nothing. I just counted the deeds recently and found that yours was missing. Since we don't live there anymore, you can leave the deed with me and let me keep it."
Chen Qingyin and Hu Mianmian looked at her at the same time, both mother and daughter's eyes were full of suspicion.
Of course Chen Qingyin knew that once any good thing came into the hands of Old Madam Hu, it would become hers.
Hu Mianmian snorted in her heart.
Saying that they would keep it was just a nice word, they actually planned to sell it themselves!
Now Hu Yunshen was a general of the fourth rank, but there was no war to fight.
If he wanted to move up the career ladder, how could he not show more performance?
Therefore, he had to use the money from selling the house to build connections in the court.
Chen Qingyin sneered.
This family always sets their sights on her dowry.
Just when she was about to refuse, Hu Mianmian, who was holding the bottle of milk beside her, looked up and used a little magic power to show her mother a "good show".
A faint golden mist lingered in front of Chen Qingyin's eyes.
She saw that the money that Old Madam Hu got from selling her house was actually used by Hu Yunshen to gamble in the secret market!
