Xu Bailu nodded heavily and said to her mother with a firm gaze:

"Yes, mother, I have thought it through clearly. Please help me."

Seeing her daughter's eyes turned blue and black, she felt a little bit sorry.

Holding her hand, his eyes were a little dim, as if he was remembering something that happened a long time ago.

After a long time, she sighed softly:

"Wait until your father comes back and see what's going on there."

Two days later, the hunting finally ended. The emperor restrained himself during these two days and did not look for Xu Zhiyi.

The secret guard repaired the door the next day and left secretly.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened, but the emperor knew something was different.

On the day of her departure, the emperor hesitated whether to leave a secret guard to protect her. Finally, he thought of that resolute little face and felt that she still liked freedom.

Then he called over another secret guard, Xiao Qi:

"Go and guard the Xu family's daughter and ensure her safety. Just watch from a distance and don't worry about anything else."

The emperor said this and left the royal hunting ground.

Xu Zhiyi packed up her things and went to find her uncle. In fact, she was also willing to live in her grandmother's house, but it was not her own home after all. She was afraid that her aunts would dislike her if she lived there for too long.

This time, Xu Bailu was dug into a big hole. How could she not go and watch the fun?

My uncle tried to dissuade her, but seeing that she was determined, he said:

"After we get back, I'll let Xiao Tao take care of you. When your grandmother sees me, she'll definitely scold me for not bringing you back."

Xiaotao was the maid arranged for her by her grandmother. She was diligent and efficient. More importantly, she was a house-born girl with a death contract in hand, so she was easier to control and would not dare to betray her master.

She knew that the Xu family had not arranged any proper maids for her, and she would feel at ease only if she had someone of her own by her side.

After saying that, he sent someone to send Xu Zhiyi back to the Xu Mansion.

When Xu Zhiyi's carriage arrived at the gate of Xu's house, she found that her father had just arrived home.

As soon as he saw the rebellious girl coming back, he asked the servant to get a whip.

The secret guard Xiao Qi was hiding in a tree, feeling a little scared when he saw this situation.

The emperor asked him to protect Xu Zhiyi and also asked him to stay away and not be exposed. If her father beat her, would he go down to help or not?

Gritting my teeth, I crawled into the nearest tree.

He remembered the advice his brother Eleven gave him before he left.

"That person might be lucky."

Brothers wouldn't give me advice for no reason. Besides, the missions are confidential. If he was given advice, he must have received instructions.

Then observe the following situation.

Xu Zhiyi grabbed the whip he was swinging at and pulled it into his own hand.

Xu Xiangxuan looked at this rebellious girl in disbelief. He didn't expect that she would dare to resist, nor did he expect that she would be so strong.

"You rebellious girl, I sent people to invite you time and time again, but you didn't come back. What are you doing back now?"

Xu Zhiyi snorted coldly:

"If I go back to my own home, do I have to write a note to my father and say hello before coming back? It doesn't seem to make sense."

He paused, wrapped the whip around his wrist and continued:

"If I remember correctly, this is the house my mother left behind. I am the only child she left behind. I have no right to come back. Who has the right to come back?"

"Oh, is it my mother's maidservant who came with her as a dowry, or my concubine's younger sister?"

After saying that, she smiled as if she was really waiting for her father's reply.

Xu Zhiyi didn't want to quarrel with the original owner's father. Even if he didn't give birth to her, he still raised her. Now it seems that it was not just the adulterous couple who caused the original owner's tragedy in the previous life.

A normal father would not take his daughter into his family when she is still young and her mother has just passed away, and then immediately get her pregnant and then ignore her.

The legitimate daughter did so many unusual things just to attract his attention, but he only treated her violently.

The Central Plains owner has a bad reputation in the capital, and there may be people behind the scenes fanning the flames.

Spit out what you have eaten from me. She has always believed in revenge.

She was no longer willing to save face for her father.

Xu Xiangxuan's face turned red with anger, and then turned purple, but all within this short minute.

Ever since he won the second place in the imperial examination, he had never been bullied except in front of her mother's family.

Especially in recent years, as I have been promoted to a higher position, there are more people around me who speak well of me.

He thought he had forgotten those days long ago, but Xu Zhiyi's words reminded him of the unbearable past.

Finally, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he could only point at Xu Zhiyi and shout:

"You...you rebellious girl."

Aunt Liu came out just now and saw two people arguing.

He was standing aside without saying anything, but now he stood up:

"I heard what Zhiyi said. It's true. Although I am the elder, my status is still a little lower."

After saying that, he took Xu Xiangxuan's hand:

"Let's go back first. You've been on the road for a long day. You should go back and have something to eat."

When Xu Xiangxuan heard her words, his expression eased a little. Fortunately, there was someone who understood his feelings by his side.

Xu Zhiyi snorted coldly, swung the whip on the ground with a crisp sound, and then left.

Only those who have no capital will go to great lengths to gain a little favor from those in power.

When Aunt Liu heard the crisp sound, her body trembled.

Xu Xiangxuan saw it and hurried to comfort her:

"This rebellious girl is becoming more and more ignorant. She is not as good as our Bai Lu."
