This is……
Qu Jingyun stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She glanced at Shen Yue's wet dress, then at Shen Yue, whose eyes were brimming with tears but dared not cry.
She hugged her daughter tightly, stroking her hair to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, with your mother here, Yue'er will be safe from now on, and no one will dare to bully Yue'er anymore."
Shen Yue shook her head vigorously.
"Moon, don't be beaten! Spare me! Spare Moon!"
Qu Jingyun felt even more heartbroken.
Suddenly, she noticed bruises on Shen Yue's arm.
She rolled up her sleeve and took a look.
His body was covered with various whip marks, as well as some very small marks from needle pricks.
Qi Yun'er!
Qu Jingyun's face contorted into a ferocious expression.
Shen Yue retreated in fear, "Mother, spare me! Yue'er knows she was wrong. Yue'er will obediently marry the Fifth Prince."
The Fifth Prince?
So, was she forced to marry the Fifth Prince by Qi Yun'er and the others?
She had her maid bring some dried fruit and handed it to Chen Yue.
Shen Yue hesitated for a moment before tentatively accepting it.
Seeing that Qu Jingyun didn't hit her, she quickly put the candied fruit into her mouth.
Then he cautiously looked at Qu Jingyun.
Qu Jingyun tilted her head back, tried to hold back her tears, and then smiled at Chen Yue.
"Mother has more here, as much as you want, but Yue'er needs to tell Mother how your aunt usually teaches you manners."
Mentioning the rules made Shen Yue tremble even more violently.
Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyun had such a deep psychological trauma, so she carefully fed her a few more snacks.
After finally calming Shen Yue down, she fell asleep.
She carried her daughter to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at her for a long time.
Xiao Liu walked in with a stoop and whispered, "Madam, the person has arrived."
Qu Jingyun then wiped away her tears and stood up.
As soon as she stepped out, a woman immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Madam, please spare me! I shouldn't have treated Miss Shen that way, but it was all ordered by another lady."
"Another wife?" Qu Jingyun sneered, "Our General's Mansion only has two wives. Since it's not me, are you perhaps referring to my daughter-in-law?"
The woman glanced at Yin Xue, then shook her head vigorously.
"Of course not. She is a lady who is about the same age as you. I call her 'Madam,' and she has not refuted or explained anything, so I assumed she was a real lady."
After saying that, the woman added, "We have done exactly what she said."
Qu Jingyun clenched her fists and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
Then she asked, "Then tell me properly, how does that lady want you to teach the young lady manners?"
The lady's body began to tremble.
"She said the young lady is disobedient, slow-witted, and won't remember things unless she's beaten..."
"Someone, go and call **Yue over," Qu Jingyun suddenly said.
Yin Xue immediately reminded her, "Mother, it's better if Mingyue doesn't come. She's very quick-witted; several of us might not be a match for her."
Qu Jingyun sneered, "Don't worry, my job is very easy, I don't need her to say anything."
Why not speak without **month?
Yin Xue looked completely bewildered.
Soon, **yue was brought over.
She glanced at the woman on the ground and immediately felt displeased.
But soon the moon was covered up again.
However, she was still young, and Qu Jingyun was able to see through her emotions.
Qu Jingyun smiled gently at her, "Mingyue, don't be afraid. I see you have good manners. Did this nanny teach you?"
Recognizing that she was Shen Yue's governess, **Yue hesitated for a while before cautiously nodding.
"After being taught by the nanny for a while, Mingyue knew that she was just a guest and didn't dare to compete with her sister Yue'er, so she stopped learning."
"Yeah?"
Qu Jingyun poured a cup of tea and slowly stirred the floating scum.
Then he laughed again.
"You've really suffered all these years, so I've decided to have this old nanny teach you manners again today, just like she taught Yue'er. What do you say?"
"No way!" Yue immediately refused.
As soon as she finished speaking, Yue realized that she had panicked too much.
Qu Jingyun raised an eyebrow. "Mingyue, why are you so agitated? Could it be that this nanny hasn't taught you well?"
"No!" Yue shook her head again.
"Let's begin then."
Her tone suddenly turned cold.
Immediately afterwards, the old woman rolled up her sleeves and slapped Yue across the face.
"You little slut, you have no right to interrupt when your master is speaking, and you certainly don't disobey your master, do you understand?"
**Yue covered her face, looking at the old woman in disbelief.
How dare she hit me?
The old woman was also intimidated by Yue's gaze.
Seeing that the two were frozen in place, Qu Jingyun asked curiously, "Why aren't you moving? Is there something wrong with you?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman immediately shook her head.
"That's not true, I'll continue now."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the old woman kicked **yue in the back of the knee.
**Yue felt a sudden pain and was forced to kneel down.
Then the nanny placed a cup of boiling hot tea on the top of **yue's head.
"ah!"
**Moon suddenly let out a scream.
She then pushed the old woman away, and the teacup spilled onto her face.
Her face instantly turned red from the scalding hot tea.
"Auntie," Mingyue looked at Qu Jingyun with a wronged expression, "Mingyue's face hurts so much, is she going to be disfigured? Please have the imperial physician come and take a look at Mingyue, okay?"
Qu Jingyun looked at the old woman.
