Song Heqing said, "So what? Everyone has secrets. Yuning kept the Lingling matter a secret for three years, and there were reasons for that. Besides, I've been in mourning for the past three years, so it's not appropriate for me to wear mourning clothes to see Lingling. It's only when I'm almost done with the mourning that I can show up in front of the child."

Song Heqing emphasized the word "filial piety". Qin Yuli was a filial person. If she were from a family with more etiquette, she would not have gone to someone else's house so openly just after the 49th day of her death.

Qin Yuli was extremely angry and said, "Song Heqing! Do you think you can sit firmly on the throne of the Crown Princess?"

Song Heqing looked at Qin Yuli and said, "Miss Qin, it's getting late. You can go now. If we don't agree, there's no point in saying anything. I won't be as naive as Princess Lu and be used as a sword by you."

Qin Yuli said, "How much smarter do you think you are than that idiot Lu Baozhu? Aren't you also being used by Qi Yuning?"

"Bang!"

Lu Baozhu kicked Song Heqing's door open.

Lu Baozhu entered and saw Qin Yuli's horrified face. She raised her hand and slapped her, "Qin Yuli!"

Qin Yuli covered her hands and looked at Lu Baozhu and said, "Sister Baozhu, you..."

Lu Baozhu said, "Don't call me sister, I find it disgusting!"

Lu Baozhu clenched her fist and said, "Get out! Don't let me see you again, or I'll kill you!"

Qin Yuli was slapped hard and didn't dare to stay any longer. Lu Baozhu had always acted irrationally and casually, and she was stupid, so she could just go and beg for mercy in a few days.

Lu Baozhu looked at the calculation in Qin Yuli's eyes, full of anger and disappointment, and left the Song family in anger.

…

Qi Yuning had just brought Lingling back to the Qi family and had just coaxed Lingling to sleep when he heard the sounds of Lichun and Jingzhe coming from outside.

"Princess, you can't come in!"

“Get out of the way!”

"Princess..."

Lu Baozhu stormed into Qi Yuning's room as if she was alone.

Qi Yuning walked to the outer room and glared at Lu Baozhu, saying, "Lingling just fell asleep..."

Qi Yuning found it extremely strange to see Lu Baozhu's eyes red with tears, because she had never seen Lu Baozhu cry before!

Lu Baozhu sat on the chaise longue as if she were at home and began to sob.

Qi Yuning didn't know what to do for a moment, so he could only ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Baozhu sobbed and cried, "Do you think I'm stupid? So stupid. I was actually used by Qin Yuli for so many years. Don't you all know? I treated her as a good sister, but she actually called me a fool!"

Qi Yuning asked, "Qin Yuli said you are an idiot?"

Lu Baozhu started to cry and spoke incoherently, "She didn't know I was eavesdropping, and she called me an idiot behind my back. It's a pity that I trusted her so much since I was a child... wuwuwu!"

"It's all your fault!"

Lu Baozhu pointed at Qi Yuning and cried.

Qi Yuning asked: "What are you blaming me for?"

"Who made you so outstanding? When you were little, your grandparents loved you more. Even my brother liked to play with you. He bought you candied apples but not me candied haws. Only Qin Yuli stood by me and spoke up for me. That's why I always trusted Qin Yuli. She's the only one who doesn't like you."

Qi Yuning really couldn't remember when the candied apple incident happened.

Seeing her crying so hard, Qi Yuning didn't bother with her. "It's good that you know Qin Yuli's true face now. Don't be fooled by her in the future."

Lu Baozhu cried heart-wrenchingly. She cried stupidly when she thought of the incident when Qin Yuli instigated them to separate them.

She cried uncontrollably.

Qi Yuning comforted her from the side: "If you cry so loudly again, you'll wake Lingling up!"

Lu Baozhu's crying became weaker. "I didn't expect Qin Yuli would plot against me like this, wuwuwu."

Lu Baozhu wiped her tears with her handkerchief and said, "Song Heqing is still the best. She said I was innocent and kind, but you said I was stupid. If you hadn't called me stupid, I might have discovered Qin Yuli's true face a long time ago. It's all your fault!"

Qi Yuning heard the crying and said, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, please stop crying!"

Lu Baozhu said, "I'm crying. Even if you're my sister-in-law, you can't tell me whether I cry or not! You were stabbed in the back by your best sister, and you learned that she's been using you all these years. If you don't cry, aren't you sad?"

Qi Yuning said, "My best sister would never treat me like this."

After Qi Yuning said this, Lu Baozhu cried even more sadly.

Qi Yuning simply gave her room to Lu Baozhu and went to the study. She then instructed Xiaoman, "Go to the Dali Temple to find Master Lu and ask him to bring back a candied apple to appease his sister."

Xiaoman replied, "Yes."

Qi Yuning looked at the account book for an hour and a half before returning to his room.

I didn't expect that when I entered the room, I could still hear Lu Baozhu crying.

Lu Baozhu probably hasn't cried since she was old enough to understand things. It seems that she cried out all the tears she had cried for more than ten years today.

Lingling had already stood up and said to Lu Baozhu, "Auntie, where does it hurt? Don't cry, Lingling will comfort you."

Lu Baozhu was still crying.

Qi Yuning went over and picked up Lingling, saying to Lu Baozhu, "It's been almost two hours, and you haven't finished crying yet!"

"My best sister is gone, so what's wrong with crying?"

Qi Yuning saw tears in the corners of Lu Baozhu's eyes and sincerely admired her for being able to cry after crying for so long. "Okay, stop crying. If you cry any more, your eyes will swell up."

As soon as Lu Ze entered Chunjiang Courtyard, he heard crying. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Lu Baozhu's crying getting louder and louder.

"What happened?" Lu Ze walked up to Lu Baozhu and asked, "Who bullied you?"
