C30 (2/2)
Bai Tinglan's eyes lit up as she finished her sentence.
”...”
The full moon had healed, and now she was back at Bai Zhiling's side.
She carried her lunch into the house. Bai Zhiling was staring blankly at a pair of herbs on the table.
”Princess, it's time to eat.”
Bai Zhiling came back to her senses and put everything away.
”Princess, there's news from Lee Qing's side.”
While the full moon served Bai Zhiling, she leaned over and whispered to her.
After the incident where Concubine Qing falsely accused Bai Zhiling of falling into the water, although Bai Zhiling was not punished after the incident, she was still angry. Thus, she had Xiaoxi send a message to Lee Qing to investigate Concubine Qing's background.
She didn't forget how Concubine Qing fell into the water, but it was after she noticed the change in the lotus pond.
She was about to check it out when Concubine Qing fell into the water.
The wind in the lotus pond was not strong, and the small boat was also very stable. The chances of her accidentally falling into the water was very small, so it was very likely that she was trying to conceal something.
He didn't expect Lee Qing to find out about this.
”Concubine Qing was previously from the Qing Province. I heard that she was sold here by her stepmother. Concubine Qing sneaks out to see a man every month. That man lives in the alley behind the alley far away from the mountain, and is a poor scholar. There is no one else in the house but him alone, and I heard that he is also from the Cyan Plains. ”
As soon as Full Moon finished speaking, Bai Zhiling's brain completed a bloody story about childhood sweethearts being able to go their separate ways.
”This scholar is going to take the exam next year and doesn't have much silver on him. Besides relying on Concubine Qing's secret subsidy, he will write letters and make a living by copying books.”
Bai Zhiling tapped her fingertips, seemingly deep in thought.
”Full moon.”
”Your servant is here.”
”Tell me, if I were to beat Concubine Qing half to death and make it so that the scholar can only teach in the countryside for his entire life, he wouldn't be able to take any more tests. Tell me …” Isn't that a bit too cruel? ”
When Full Moon heard this, she pouted.
”Esteemed wangfei, if you think it's cruel, why don't you frown for a bit? Your relaxed, smiling appearance doesn't seem like you're at a loss at all!”
”The wangfei saved her, and she even wronged the wangfei. If it wasn't for the wangfei's intelligence, who knows what might have happened. This servant thinks that even taking her life would be a piece of cake for her.”
Smart...
Would she really say that she really wanted to leave the Cloud King's Manor?
”Yo, the little girl has improved a lot.”
”Heh heh, that was also taught well by the wangfei.”
Lee Qing started with the scholar and found out that he had to think of a way to enter Cloud King's Manor every tenth and fifteenth year.
Their goal was obviously to meet up with Concubine Qing.
Although Princess Yun was strict in her management, she was still a lot more lax when it came to her usually unsightly aunt.
It had already been several days since he fell into the water. Concubine Qing didn't notice anything amiss from Bai Zhiling. She only ordered her maidservant to scold her a little and beat up Yu'er for some reason before leaving.
When Full Moon went to scold Concubine Qing, she didn't feel wronged at all. If Bai Zhiling really didn't come to cause trouble at all, she would have thought it was weird.
”Aunt, Young Master has sent you a message.” Cui Er carefully walked into the house and handed a small slip of paper to Concubine Qing.
”Quick, quickly bring it over.” Concubine Qing immediately jumped up from the bed, excitement written all over her face as she took the piece of paper from Cui'er's hands.
