Bai Qin was completely confused. She had the servant beaten to death, but she had never had any relationship with that servant?

How did it turn out like this? She hurried to argue with the couple, but the people around her completely confirmed the matter.

"I know about this. My son went to work for the Bai family a while ago. He knew the farmhand who was beaten to death. He went into the inner courtyard and was beaten to death!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some people living near the Bai family all remembered that the farmhand was thrown out from the side door, covered in blood, and the people living nearby were all watching.

This matter is three parts true and seven parts false, but it became the fact when it was talked about by everyone. Love cannot be refuted at all, and in the end, one can only choose to flee.

But the people around here have been deceived for so long, and the Mu family has been wronged because of this. How could they let her go so easily?

So a group of people trapped her there and took turns throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at her.

Just as Bai Qin was about to be buried, the door of the Mu family finally opened. General Mu came in front of everyone with his two sons, leaning on a cane.

"Today, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the villagers for clearing the Mu family of their grievances. Our Mu family has been loyal and righteous for generations. Now that our two sons have grown up, I would like to propose marriage to the Bai family, hoping to find a virtuous daughter to have children with my son."

"I never expected to suffer such a great injustice. Because we were officials in the same dynasty, I never told him the whole story of the Bai family. I never expected that the daughter of the Bai family would be so cruel and crazy, even wanting to discredit my Mu family. However, this woman is still a life. Because of our past friendship, my Mu family is willing to take her in as a maid. I am very grateful to all the villagers for troubling you today!"

Just a few simple words instantly won the cheers of the common people, and the Mu family successfully brought Bai Qin into the mansion as a maid.

Bai Qin's original intention was to ask Muchen to take her in as his wife, so that she would at least have some real power and be able to cooperate with the Wen family.

However, he didn't expect that she would only become a maid, and in the outer room. What's more, when he forced his way to the door before, the Bai family did not show up at all, which meant that their reputation was completely ruined.

At this time, the Bai family's legitimate daughter became a maid of the Mu family. This was a slap in their faces, so they couldn't go to their house and say anything.

For several days in a row, Lord Bai was embarrassed to go to court, and everyone in the streets was discussing the upbringing of the Bai family, which caused the marriages of several other concubines' daughters in the family to be postponed.

Lord Bai was anxious, but he had no idea what to do, so he could only ask Wen Xiuting for help to find a solution.

"Master Wen, it was you who told me to let my daughter scheme against the Mu family to cooperate with your actions. Now my daughter, a legitimate daughter, has been reduced to a maid, and has also implicated my Bai family. You must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Lord Bai was extremely anxious. If he didn't go to court again, he would probably be sent back home.

But the problem is that as soon as he goes out, he feels that people from all directions are laughing at him, which makes him feel embarrassed.

Wen Xiuting was also very angry. At this time, he saw that the people from the Bai family were all annoyed. A good chess piece fell down in an instant.

"Master Bai, please be careful with your words. What does this have to do with me? As the son of the Prime Minister, I have always been on good terms with the Mu family. What plans do you have? Don't talk nonsense!"

Wen Xiuting always spoke like this, unwilling to leave any handle, which made Lord Bai vomit blood.

"Master Wen, I know you've always been very careful, but my Bai family has followed Prime Minister Wen for so many years, so we're not completely unprepared. If Master Wen can't protect my Bai family today, don't blame me for not remembering your kindness in promoting me!"

After Lord Bai yelled this, he turned and left, making it clear that he was determined to fight the Wen family to the end.

It's no wonder that Lord Bai is so angry. The Mu family is currently favored by the emperor. If the Bai family hadn't asked for it, why would he take the risk of his own daughter?

Now the Mu family has offended both the emperor and the Bai family, and has become very embarrassed. Who knows what they will experience next?

But Wen Xiuting still wanted to stay in a corner and remove himself from this matter.

That’s absolutely not possible. If the Bai family can’t hold on to the Wen family, they will be completely helpless!

Watching Lord Bai walking away, Judge Wen Xiu sighed, realizing that he was a little too impatient.

After returning, Prime Minister Wen's face was not in a good mood. He had known for a long time that his son had been called out by Lord Bai, so he roughly knew the content of the conversation between the two people, and he was angry at the moment.

"You were too hasty in taking action this time. You didn't even get to enjoy the good stuff, but instead you got yourself into trouble. The Minister of Rites may not be an important position, but it can be very effective in turning the tide at a critical moment. You've easily destroyed this chess piece. You're really a nobody!"

Prime Minister Wen has always been like this. When teaching his children, if they do well, he may not give them much praise, but if they do not do well, he will definitely scold them.

At this time, Wen Xiuting was scolded by his father, and he couldn't help feeling resentful. His father seemed to have forgotten long ago that it was his strategy that won over the Minister of Rites.

"Don't worry, father. I will take care of the matter regarding the Minister of Rites. In any case, Bai Qin has already entered the Mu family, so our plan is still feasible."

Prime Minister Wen doesn't think so. What has happened recently is too strange.

Moreover, the emperor is now like a possessed man, and he obeys everything the Mu family says. If he continues like this, when will he be able to complete his great cause?

"You don't need to worry about the Bai family's affairs anymore. If the Minister of Rites doesn't know who the master is, then replace him with someone smarter. I already have a candidate."

After saying this, Prime Minister Wen left without paying attention to his son's thoughts, but Wen Xiuting didn't want to listen to his father.

That night, he asked someone to find a way to bring a letter to Bai Qin, and Bai Qin tried her best to sneak it out.

As soon as she saw Wen Xiuting, Bai Qin immediately went up to him, crying and throwing a tantrum.

"Sir, I've suffered so much today. They told me to be a maid, and they really assigned me so much work. I've always been spoiled, and when have I ever suffered so much? Sir, look at what has become of my hands."

Bai Qin kept crying, and when Wen Xiuting saw him like this, a look of annoyance flashed across his brows.

But when Bai Qin looked over, his expression quickly changed to one of heartache.

"Miss Bai, you've worked so hard. Seeing you like this, I feel bad too. I really can't help it. The Mu family is bullying others by taking advantage of their power, and I don't have an official position, so I can't confront them head-on."
