Xu Jinyi took a half step back, afraid that his saliva would spray on her face.

Seeing Xu Jiner fainting from the punishment, Xu Jinyi raised his hand to signal him to stop.

But we can't let Xu Jin'er die so easily. Compared to what she did to the original owner, it would be too easy for her.

Aunt Wang immediately rushed forward and said, "My Jin'er, please call a doctor quickly, please call a doctor quickly." Her crying was extremely miserable.

Looking at the blood all over the floor, Aunt Wang almost fainted.

How painful it must be for her Jin'er.

"What did your sister do to make you take such a harsh approach? How could you be so vicious?"

Lord Xu was a scholar. Looking at the six guards behind Xu Jinyi who had fought in the battlefield and killed countless people, he did not dare to attack Xu Jinyi.

He became increasingly dissatisfied with his daughter Xu Jinyi. This was happening at home, and he was her father, yet he actually called six guards out to guard against him.

Thinking of his daughter Xu Jin'er's usual gentleness and obedience, Lord Xu couldn't wait to marry this rebellious girl off.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Xu Jinyi snorted, his face full of sarcasm: "I'm vicious?"

"Father, why don't you ask your good daughter what she did today?"

"As soon as he came in, he beat me indiscriminately. It seems that my father really hates me as his daughter!"

Seeing that the three of them were united against the outside world, looking at the enemy and themselves, Xu Jinyi felt sad for the original owner.

What had the original owner done wrong? He was simply born into the wrong family and met a scumbag father, so how could he end up with such a miserable fate?

This scumbag father was originally a poor boy who met her mother when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination.

After learning that her mother was dependent on the mountains, she deceived her mother with a hypocritical face.

She was able to sit in her current position thanks to the support of her grandfather's family.

But this person doesn't know what's good for him. Even for the sake of his position, he should be nicer to the original owner.

But how did he do it?

When the original owner came back with injuries all over her body to beg him for help, he had her driven out with a look of disgust on his face, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the original owner.

The original owner also resented her maternal grandparents who lived far away in the frontier. She sent out letters for help one after another, but received no reply.

After reading the story line, Xu Jinyi knew that it was not her maternal family who did not save her.

But they had no idea about the original owner's situation and thought that the original owner had six guards in the capital and was safe.

Because all the original owner's letters were intercepted and none of them were sent out.

After the original owner died, the third prince came to the throne and Xu Jin'er became the queen. The first thing he did was to destroy her maternal family.

After all, his achievements surpassed those of his master, and General Wei Zhen held military power, and his reputation on the border was greater than that of the emperor.

As an emperor, this is what I fear most.

Therefore, General Wei Zhen's family and the 100,000 soldiers of the Yang family under his command were not spared and all died in the conspiracy of the third prince.

In this life, she will not let these mistakes happen again.

The third prince wants to take the throne?

dream!

Seeing that Xu Jinyi still didn't repent and even talked back, Lord Xu was furious.

"Even if Jin'er did something, your aunt will punish her. Why would you beat her like this?"

"Look at you, you've only been home for a few days, and you've already caused so much trouble! How can I really like you if you call me dad like that?"

The daughter whom he had doted on for more than ten years was now lying there beaten to death. It would be a lie for Lord Xu to say that he was not heartbroken.

Xu Jinyi snorted and said sarcastically, "The thirty lashes I gave her were considered a light punishment. Even if I beat her to death today, so what? It's just a worthless life."

"Since she wants to kill me, I have no choice but to kill her first."

Aunt Wang glared at her resentfully when she heard this: "You haven't suffered any harm, have you? Why are you so cruel?"

"Not hurt? I was lucky enough to escape, but Xu Jin'er's attempt to murder me can be treated as if it never happened? I'm not allowed to retaliate?"

"dream!"

"I'm telling you, this is just a small lesson. If there's a next time, be careful or I'll kill her!"

Turning his head, looking at his gloomy father, Xu Jinyi said again: "Father, you still don't know what happened to your good daughter who you have high hopes for today."

After a pause, Xu Jinyi slowly recounted what happened at today's palace banquet.

Aunt Wang looked pale and didn't even dare to look at the Marquis.

Seeing the doctor coming, Aunt Wang wanted someone to carry Xu Jiner away.

Lord Xu dismissed all the servants with a gloomy look on his face. Now only his family and the doctor were left in the courtyard.

They were just minor skin injuries. The doctor prescribed some medicine and left immediately.

He didn't have time to apply medicine to Xu Jin'er because the Marquis's eyes were too scary at the moment.

Just at this moment, Xu Jiner woke up with a pale face.

She didn't realize that the atmosphere was wrong at the moment, and she was even crying and begging the Marquis to make the decision for her.

"I'm asking you, did you have sex with Shen Qingci at the palace banquet? Did everyone see it?" Marquis Xu's face was gloomy.

brush!

Xu Jiner's face turned even paler, and she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Xu Jinyi.

Then she whimpered and cried, "Please, Dad, please help me. It's my sister who wants to harm me."

"A palace maid knocked me unconscious. When I woke up, the incident had already happened. Dad, please take charge of this for me!"

Aunt Wang also knelt down and said, "Master, please help Jin'er."

The arrow was aimed at Xu Jinyi. Xu Jinyi sat down without any fear and looked at them.

"Don't look at me like that, Father. You can investigate today's incident yourself and see if it was me who did it, or if my sister framed me and ended up suffering the consequences."

"And Your Highness the Crown Prince can prove my innocence. I didn't do anything."

"Besides, I'm not as rich as my sister to bribe a palace maid and two eunuchs."

"It's embarrassing to say that I, the legitimate daughter of a marquis, earn less per month than the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank minister."

"If I hadn't gone to the palace banquet today, I wouldn't have known you were so poor, and that my monthly allowance was the lowest among all the noble ladies."

"I don't even have a decent piece of jewelry on me. Even if I add up all my money, I can't even take out fifty taels."

Xu Jinyi spoke one sentence after another, and Aunt Wang's body was shaking like a sieve.

The matter of withholding the monthly allowance of the legitimate daughter could have been exposed at any time, but it had to happen at this time.

How could the Marquis stand on their side?

Lord Xu's face was burning with anger because of Xu Jinyi's words.

In fact, as his father, he knew very well how Xu Jinyi had been living in the Marquis' Mansion over the years.

However, as for this little matter, he felt that as long as Aunt Wang didn't go too far, he would not bother with it.

After all, the Marquis was not very fond of this legitimate daughter.

So it was just a little monthly salary, it didn't matter if it was more or less, but he didn't expect that he would lose all his face at a banquet.

When he thought that everyone in the court would know how stingy he was tomorrow and that his own daughter's monthly allowance couldn't even afford to buy a piece of jewelry, his face turned red inexplicably.
