Chu Yun thought for a moment and said, "The scar removal cream in the Empress's hand was made at great expense back then, so there wasn't much of it to begin with. The Empress's palace probably only has one bottle, the Crown Prince has one, and there's another at the Qin family."
Bai Wanyi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chu Yun: "What do you mean by that? Are you asking me to beg the Qin family?"
Chu Yun said respectfully, "I have informed Madam of the whereabouts of these things, but it is up to Madam to decide how to find them. After all, having a clue is better than knowing nothing at all."
Bai Wanyi stared at her for a long while before saying, "It's best if you have no selfish motives."
"I dare not." Chu Yun knelt down immediately, decisively and without any hesitation.
"You know, I never treat you as inferiors. In my eyes, we are all the same. Why should we divide you into different levels? Equality is the only true principle. So I treat you with all my heart, and I hope you can treat me well." Bai Wanyi raised his hand and let her stand up: "Okay, let's set off."
The carriage stopped at the gate of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Bai Wanyi got off the carriage, he saw a little maid hurriedly pulling a doctor into the mansion.
She stopped the person and asked, "Who is sick?"
The little maid said, "The fifth young lady is injured."
Bai Wanyi frowned. It was really troublesome, but she couldn't not go, so she followed him to the inner courtyard: "What's going on?"
The little maid said, "Our young lady fell down and was stepped on several times."
Lu Linglong couldn't admit that she pounced on the prince, but ended up dodging him, and then she fell to the ground and was stepped on by someone, so she just said that she fell.
The injury was not serious, just a superficial wound. The doctor left some medicine and left.
Bai Wanyi looked at Lu Linglong, who was groaning in pain, and patiently comforted her, "The doctor said it's okay, you'll be fine after taking the medicine."
Lu Linglong sobbed, "Sister-in-law, how am I going to live my life? No one wanted to stand with me at the flower viewing banquet today. Those young masters shun me like the plague when they hear my name. Even the young masters of the merchant families look down on me. I even fell and made a fool of myself in front of so many people. What will happen to my marriage?"
Bai Wanyi had a headache: "I will find a good marriage for you. There's been a lot going on today, and you're injured. Take some medicine and rest early. I'm leaving first."
Bai Wanyi left Lu Linglong's courtyard and sighed as he looked at the gradually darkening sky. "Is the old lady back?"
Chu Yun said: "Not yet."
There was a flower-viewing banquet at the Marquis' Mansion today, but Old Lady Lu had an appointment in advance and had gone out. Miss Six and Miss Eight were also absent, so these two were just the right amount of people.
"When the old lady comes back, tell me and let's go back." Bai Wanyi took Chu Yun back to the main courtyard, but when he entered the door, he did not see Qi Jing who was supposed to be punished to kneel.
Bai Wanyi's brows knitted into knots: "Where's Aunt Qi?"
The maid in the courtyard said, "Madam Qi has fainted and has just been sent back to her courtyard. Her maid came to ask for permission to send for a doctor."
"Why call for a doctor?" Bai Wanyi hurriedly walked into the house, and as he walked, he asked Chu Yun to call all the servants who were attending the flower viewing banquet today. He then said to the little maid, "Can't you see that the mansion is busy? If she can't die, then kneel in the ancestral hall! Don't come out and cause trouble without my order!"
The little maidservant stood there in a daze, unable to say the rest of the words - Aunt Qi's maidservant said that she had not changed her clothes for more than two months.
Chu Yun glanced at her and scolded her lightly: "Why don't you go and answer the question!"
"Oh oh oh." The little maidservant agreed repeatedly and ran off to do her work.
After a while, the housekeeper, servants, maids and old women who were attending the banquet were all called into the yard. There were more than 30 people, and they stood in a row, no one daring to say a word.
Although they were only leading the way and setting up tea and snacks today, since such a big thing had happened and their master wanted to hold them accountable, they had no choice but to obey orders.
Bai Wanyi didn't send them off first. He just ordered Chu Yun to find the list of today's guests: "Go and ask who were the people who were frightened today."
Chu Yun went out to ask, but there was no one left there to serve today, so naturally no one knew who was frightened and who was injured.
Chu Yun replied, thought for a moment, and said, "Madam, please allow me to speak. If you want to apologize, it would be best to send a gift to everyone on the list of today's guests.
Bai Wanyi was very reluctant to give away all the gifts. There were many people coming today, so there was no limit to how much he could give away.
Bai Wanyi looked Chu Yun up and down. "You were following me the whole time, so you must have seen everything. Tell me, which families were frightened?"
Chu Yun only tried to persuade her once, but when that didn't work, she stopped talking and just described what she had seen. Then she added, "This is just what I saw. Madam, you'd better go find these families and ask who else was frightened."
Bai Wanyi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just wait by my side. You'll only see the most seriously injured ones. The others won't be a problem."
She looked at the guest list again and pondered. Most of the people present today were the mistress's illegitimate children, so in this case, just one gift would be enough.
In her opinion, since illegitimate children were of low status, the mistress would naturally not give them good things, so why should she waste them?
Even so, it was calculated that there were more than ten families who had to apologize.
Bai Wanyi was heartbroken. A set of cosmetics cost thousands of taels of silver. After buying these ten or so sets, more than ten thousand taels of silver were gone.
Bai Wanyi was afraid that he would regret it and didn't want to give the gifts anymore, so he quickly asked someone to send the prepared cosmetics gift boxes to each mansion. These were originally intended to be sold.
Not only are the items good, but even the ** was specially customized at a cost of ten taels of silver. Now that so many sets have been given away, she feels so heartbroken that she almost bleeds.
What made her even more distressed was the coral tree in her dowry. However, no matter how distressed she was, she had someone pack up the things and send them to the Wu family to apologize.
After everything was dealt with, Bai Wanyi was unwilling to move. She looked at the servants standing in the yard and became more and more angry: "Sell them all to me. They can't take any of their things away. Search them and send them to my room."
Chu Yun looked at Bai Wanyi in surprise. In the past, when Miss Qin punished her servants, even if they made a huge mistake, she would let them take away the money they had saved over the years.
Madam, you are really crazy about money!
Even though Chu Yun had her own opinions, she didn't say them at this moment. She stood at the door of the main room and conveyed Bai Wanyi's words.
When the group heard they were going to be sold, they immediately begged for mercy:
"Madam, even if you want us to die, you must let us die knowing clearly what we, your servants, have done wrong."
Bai Wanyi walked to the door and looked down at the servants. "Since you want a reason, I'll tell you. With such a big incident at the flower viewing banquet, you can't stay in this house."
The servant in the front yard was dissatisfied: "Madam, I am just a handyman in the front yard. I brought a guest here today. Why do you want to sell me too?"
