The Marquis looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his face terribly gloomy, and his eyes glanced back and forth between Bai Linglong and Aunt Li.
In Wang's eyes, there was a trace of pity for Aunt Li's embarrassed appearance, as well as anger at the violation of the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, and confusion about the truth behind this matter.
After a moment's silence, the Marquis snorted heavily, waved his sleeves and said, "How shameful!
In the Marquis's Mansion, it is right for you to hit someone, even if she is a concubine. You should consider the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, but you can't be so reckless. ”
When Bai Linglong heard this, her eyes instantly turned red, her face was full of grievance and anger, and she directly refuted:
"Father, she called me a bitch. Could it be that in her eyes, I, the daughter of the Marquis's family, am a bitch? Father, are you an old bitch?
As a concubine, she spoke ill of me, totally disregarding the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children, and wantonly trampling on my dignity. Was she the one who broke the rules first? ”
Aunt Li was so frightened when she heard this that her face turned pale. Her voice was trembling as she cried out, "Master, I didn't mean that. She is deliberately misinterpreting my words and slandering me!"
Bai Xinyao added fuel to the fire: "Father, my sister was so angry after being exposed that she said these rebellious words!"
The Marquis's brows were twisted into a knot, and after thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "We need to investigate the matter thoroughly.
But Bai Linglong, it was wrong for you to hit someone. I will punish you by grounding you for half a month and ask you to reflect on your behavior.
Aunt Li, as a concubine, you should teach your children, but you did not set a good example yourself. As a punishment, your monthly salary will be reduced by half for one month.
Bai Xinyao, as a younger sister, you have not fulfilled your responsibility to advise her, so I will punish you by making you copy the "Female Virtue" again and again. ”
Although Bai Linglong was dissatisfied with the house arrest, she knew that it was useless to argue at this time, so she knelt slightly and saluted:
"My daughter will follow her father's teachings and will reflect on her mistakes.
But I, as a daughter, beg my father to find out the truth as soon as possible and clear my name. ”
Although Aunt Li and Bai Xinyao were unhappy, the Marquis had already punished them.
They didn't dare to say anything more. They just gritted their teeth secretly, thinking about how to take revenge on Bai Linglong in the future.
After everyone left, Bai Linglong returned to her own courtyard, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered to herself:
"This is just a minor punishment. If you still know how to restrain yourself, don't blame me for being polite."
Night fell over the mansion. Bai Xinyao tiptoed into Aunt Li's room. As soon as she entered, she slammed the door shut with a look of resentment on her face.
Aunt Li was sitting by the bed, applying an ice towel to her still swollen cheeks. When she saw Bai Xinyao come in, flames of hatred immediately ignited in her eyes.
"That little bitch made me suffer so much today, I will make her pay the price!"
Aunt Li gnashed her teeth, her voice sharp with anger.
Bai Xinyao walked over and sat down next to Aunt Li, her eyes sinister: "Mother, don't let this be the case.
She is becoming more and more arrogant. If she continues to do something, we will have no good days in the Marquis' Mansion. ”
Aunt Li threw the ice handkerchief fiercely and said, "Humph, I think she is relying on the fact that she is the legitimate daughter and has the support of the marquis.
We have to think of a way to punish her severely while letting the Marquis blame us. ”
Bai Xinyao's eyes turned, and she leaned close to Aunt Li's ear and said in a low voice, "Mother, I heard that there is a wizard in the west of the city who is good at casting poison.
We can find some powerful poisonous insects and secretly put them into Bai Linglong's food.
When the poisonous insect attacks, she will have unbearable abdominal pain and feel like she is dying. By then, even if she is your father, it will be useless to protect her. ”
Aunt Li's eyes lit up, but then she became a little worried: "What if this poisonous insect is discovered?"
Bai Xinyao sneered: "Don't worry, the wizard is very skilled, this poisonous insect is colorless and tasteless, it can be sensed by gods and ghosts.
As long as we do it covertly, no one will suspect us. ”
Aunt Li patted Bai Xinyao's hand, with a hideous smile on her face: "My daughter is still smart.
When she is poisoned, I will watch her kneel down and beg for mercy, so that she can have a taste of being manipulated. ”
"That's not all," Bai Xinyao continued, "when she is seriously ill and on the verge of death, we will spread rumors that she is possessed by evil spirits because she has done too many evil things in the past.
By then, the Marquis will definitely drive her out of the mansion for the sake of its reputation. ”
The two of them became more and more excited as they talked, and they didn't notice at all that Bai Linglong was standing quietly outside the window, hearing their conversation clearly.
Bai Linglong sneered, thinking to herself, "Okay, since you guys don't know whether to live or die, don't blame me for being polite.
This Marquis' Mansion is a place where you can run wild as you please. ”
Bai Linglong tiptoed away from the window, ready to go back and make careful plans to make the mother and daughter pay the price for her vicious plan.
