The second and fourth aunts thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
They both sighed.
"Sigh, why am I so pessimistic?"
The moment someone is bought and brought into the mansion, they should sever all ties with their family.
Why should we allow them to abuse my power and act arrogantly?
To put it bluntly, what does it matter to me whether their lives are good or bad?
Anyway, I can't eat a single piece of meat from their family, nor can I spend a single penny of their money.
They've been bewitched.
Look at how far we've come to be today, who knows how much longer we'll live?
Fortunately, fortunately, the First Madam gave me a sterilization potion as soon as I entered the mansion.
"If I don't have children, there's one less person in this world to suffer with me."
The fourth concubine said sadly.
The second and third concubines stared blankly at the fourth concubine.
Only then did the fourth concubine notice the difference in their gazes.
Why do you see us that way?
The second concubine spoke up, "Are you sure you were drugged when you entered the manor?"
What I know is that the master is the useless one.
The fourth concubine was very surprised, and her hand unconsciously went to her lower abdomen.
"Really? Does that mean I can still have children? No, I was definitely given drugs."
The second concubine shook her head.
"You're an idiot. It's not necessarily true that I forced you to take the medicine, but how do you know what it was for?"
If we ever have the chance to see the light of day again,
"Find a doctor to take our pulses properly, then we'll know if we can have the baby."
The third concubine nodded.
"Yes, if that day ever comes, I will never become a concubine. Even if I marry a peddler or laborer, I will be his wife."
Also, I won't be foolish enough to get involved with that family again.
I imagine they must be frantic with worry about not being able to find me.
They might even call me useless and wish me an early death and rebirth.
Third Aunt was right.
In a dilapidated house in the city, an old woman with gray hair was sitting on the bed, cursing loudly.
What a useless piece of trash! If I'd known she was so useless, I should have sold her into a brothel.
The vicious curses lasted for an hour before finally stopping because his throat got dry.
Magistrate Bai spent a considerable amount of money, but ultimately didn't obtain much useful information.
However, it was discovered that her daughter had sent people to keep an eye on Prince Rui's residence.
If Bai Ying had simply ordered people to keep an eye on Prince Rui's residence, that would have been fine.
The key point is that her men shot down a carrier pigeon that flew out of the Prince Rui's residence.
Naturally, the letter ended up in Bai Ying's hands, and the pigeon ended up in Bai Ying's stomach.
The two people Bai Ying sent were thugs from Hongcheng.
If they had the opportunity to work for the county magistrate's daughter, wouldn't that be equivalent to them being half-officials?
Those two thugs were incredibly dedicated.
However, they weren't stupid; they observed quite carefully.
If you weren't paying close attention, you might not have noticed that a large number of pigeons had suddenly been released in Prince Rui's mansion.
The only difference is that the pigeons fly in very different directions.
Neither of them had ever practiced any martial arts or archery since childhood.
It was lucky that they managed to shoot down a pigeon with just a slingshot.
They were illiterate and didn't know who they were monitoring.
So, he easily delivered the pigeons to Bai Ying and received a considerable amount of money.
Having received the benefits, the two thugs became even more attentive in monitoring Prince Rui's residence.
They even went so far as to rent a room nearby.
Because it was so close, he would climb onto the roof every day to observe the scene inside the Prince Rui's Mansion.
That's how the guards discovered them.
On a pitch-black night, the two thugs were arrested.
The Prince Rui's men were first-rate interrogators, and the two thugs quickly confessed everything.
Therefore, Bai Ying was quickly arrested for disrespecting imperial authority.
Magistrate Bai, who had already been suspended from his post, fainted upon learning that his own daughter had even dared to eat the prince's carrier pigeons.
I woke up to find I had a stroke.
It should be noted that Magistrate Bai was only forty years old.
Having suffered a stroke, one naturally cannot hold office.
If he were still healthy, dismissing him from his post wouldn't be unreasonable, but now that he's had a stroke, there's no point in punishing him anymore.
Sending him back to his hometown after retirement was a dignified gesture.
As for Bai Ying, this girl has really been spoiled rotten by Madam Bai.
Upon arriving at the prefectural government office, he still didn't know exactly where he had gone wrong.
When asked why he sent people to monitor Prince Rui's residence,
She even dared to shoot the messenger pigeon of Prince Rui's mansion; her expression clearly showed that she was quite dismissive.
"I have no ill intentions; I simply fell in love with His Highness Prince Rui at first sight."
Unfortunately, His Highness Prince Rui did not give this commoner a chance, and her repeated visits were fruitless.
Therefore, the commoner woman hired someone to stake out the entrance of Prince Rui's mansion.
Thinking that if Prince Rui were to travel, he would inform the commoner so that she could arrange a chance encounter.
As for the carrier pigeons, how did you find out?
The prefect felt a throbbing vein on his forehead; could this guy be an idiot?
She really thinks she's some kind of celestial being.
"You audacious and wicked woman, do you know that shooting down a carrier pigeon of the Prince's mansion is a grave crime?"
Bai Ying shook her head.
"I have no idea about that. I've never killed any carrier pigeons. Why are you being so aggressive, sir?"
The prefect felt that this guy was just a scoundrel trying to play dirty tricks and evade responsibility.
How is that possible?
"Bai, you'd better confess quickly."
Do you know that the two thugs you bribed have already confessed everything?
Bai Ying knelt in the main hall and stretched her legs. Kneeling for too long was too painful, so she changed from kneeling to kneeling and sitting.
"Now that you have asked and found out, you should know that I did not order them to shoot the pigeons."
They took it upon themselves to call and deliver it to me.
I thought it was just an ordinary pigeon, so I ate it.
Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good.
The prefect's head was buzzing even louder. What on earth was this thing? It seemed to have a completely different brain circuit from a normal person.
"Lady Bai, didn't you stew the pigeon because you were jealous that His Highness Prince Rui sent a message to your father-in-law's family?"
Bai Ying then looked up and faced the prefect directly.
"Since you already know the inside story, why ask any more questions?"
"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. I only love Prince Rui, what wrong have I done?"
Your Excellency, it seems you've encountered a legendary tough nut to crack.
In the end, Bai Ying was neither sliced to death nor killed, but instead received thirty strokes of the cane as a warning to others.
When Bai Ying was beaten, she was still fantasizing that she would use her injuries to get pity from Prince Rui.
She might even catch his eye; if he could just bring her into his household, even as a concubine...
She also had a way to get Prince Rui to promote her rank, so sooner or later she would become Prince Rui's favorite woman.
This person's love-struck mind is probably in its final stages and incurable; even thirty lashes couldn't cure her.
When Bai Ying, her buttocks bruised and battered, was thrown into a carriage and sent back to the Hong County government office...
Only then did Bai Ying realize the enormity of her mistake.
