"Greetings, my Lord and Princess. I apologize for interrupting you. My daughter and the princess heard that the villagers' buffaloes have been found, so we came to tell you."
Ling Jingxuan, "I already know!"
Lin Xiafeng nodded. "In that case, could His Royal Highness Prince Duan forgive Miss Ming's punishment? She is truly exhausted today, and has deeply realized her mistakes. She will definitely not make them again."
"The punishment the princess desired has been achieved. There's no need to torture her any further this afternoon, right?"
"The water in the paddy fields is so dirty that Miss Ming has a lot of rashes on her body. I don't know if she should see a doctor. If she goes in the afternoon, if something happens, it will be difficult to explain to Master Ming, right?"
Qin Qingyao took a deep breath, really wanting to bite her tongue. What kind of punishment effect did she want?
Didn't she come up with that idea in order to calm the people and prevent Prince Duan from actually sending Ming Ruoxi to the yamen and offending the Ming family?
She didn't deliberately target Ming Ruoxi or want to mess with her! If you thought her method was bad, why didn't you speak up and help Prince Duan out?
Qin Qingyao really didn't want to argue with Lin Xiafeng in front of Prince Duan, and looking at Ming Ruoxi's expression, she knew that she had the same idea as Lin Xiafeng and was also resentful of her for asking her to work in the fields.
Isn't it just picking on some grassroots people? It's something a seven-year-old child can do, and you're still holding a grudge against them?
Then she can stay away and mind her own business, okay?
When Baiji came to clear the table, Qin Qingyao went to help, not caring about their own affairs and letting them handle it however they wanted. Anyway, she didn't meddle in other people's affairs just to get Ming Ruoxi to thank her.
Baiji saw that the princess was in a bad mood, so she didn't stop her. She was annoyed by those young ladies anyway, so it would be better if the princess went to the kitchen!
When they got to the kitchen, Baiji resolutely refused to let Qin Qingyao work. "Princess, please take a rest. If the prince sees you washing dishes, I'll be finished, right?"
Qin Qingyao didn't like washing dishes anyway, so she didn't want to make things difficult for Baiji. She ran to sit on the small stool behind the stove, propped up her head and looked at the embers of the burning firewood.
Did she do something wrong?
She has already decided to help Prince Duan. She hasn't quarreled with him in the past few days, nor has she done anything to offend him. Why do Lin Xiafeng and the others still look at her with disdain?
Isn't Lin Xiafeng gentle, kind, dignified and generous? Why does he seem so petty when it comes to her, and even deliberately makes things difficult for her? It's really enough!
Baiji endured it for a long time, but seeing that Qin Qingyao had made herself so dirty, she couldn't bear it any longer. "Princess, please stop hitting the ashes. Look at this whole kitchen, you've made it so dirty."
Qin Qingyao then noticed that she had been stirring the ashes with a stick, stirring dust everywhere...
I was so engrossed in my thoughts just now that I didn't notice it. When I looked up and saw the dusty kitchen, I was choked and rushed out, holding onto the door frame, coughing with tears and snot.
Dugu Yu heard Qin Qingyao coughing in the room, and he stood up and rushed out.
He ran over and hugged Qin Qingyao, not caring about the dust on her body. He gently patted her back with one hand and wiped the tears from her face with the other.
Mixed with cigarette ash, it was as dirty as a tabby cat.
"What's wrong? Why are you choking?"
After saying that, he glanced into the kitchen, which made Baiji shudder. "Why is there so much dust?"
Qin Qingyao shook her head and said, "It's okay. I made it accidentally."
Dugu Yu checked her hands and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that they were just a little dirty and not injured. "Baiji, don't wash the dishes yet. Boil water for the princess to take a bath."
"yes!"
Ling Anli watched Dugu Yu rush out, and was almost furious. Wasn't it just a few coughs? If you didn't know, you would think it was some extremely urgent military matter!
When she came yesterday, before she could talk to Dugu Yu, Qin Qingyao pulled Dugu Yu to play around in the room to deliberately provoke her. This time, she did this again as soon as she sat down. How could Ling Anli tolerate this!
She stood up and followed him out, and Lin Xiafeng didn't even try to stop her.
She wanted to see if Qin Qingyao had some incurable disease and was about to die, because he was coughing non-stop at this time!
As soon as I went out, I saw Dugu Yu holding Qin Qingyao in his arms at the kitchen door. He was so darling that he kept wiping her eyes and patting her back. Was she disabled and unable to take care of herself?
"Qin Qingyao, what are you doing? Prince Wu Ling can't even have a serious conversation with others now, right? You just want Ruoxi to go to the fields and suffer, right?"
"Are you blind? Can't you see how bright the sun is today? Ruoxi's face is already red from the sun!"
"You're a woman too, don't you know how much girls cherish their skin? The water in the paddy field is so dirty and disgusting, and you still want her to soak in it for an entire afternoon? How can you be so vicious!"
Qin Qingyao, "..."
She just coughed a few times because of the cigarette ash, how did that bother Ming Ruoxi? Why was she vicious?
When Ling Anli rushed out and made a fuss, the three people in the room followed her out. Lin Xiafeng came over and pulled Ling Anli back, as if he was afraid that she would rush over and fight with Qin Qingyao.
When Ming Ruoxi heard these words and thought of the suffering she had endured in the fields, tears immediately streamed down her face, as if she was being forced to die by Qin Qingyao.
Qin Qingyao, who was covered in dust and dirt, really didn't even have the confidence to quarrel. If she really wanted to be a bitch and make things difficult for these people, she should have dressed herself up to look bright and shiny, so that she would have more momentum when quarreling!
She made herself look like this to mess with them? Where's the logic?
Ming Ruoxi felt nauseous at the thought of the filth in the paddy fields. She spoke with a look of being bullied, unable to bear it any longer. "Princess, I know you hate me. It was my fault for telling the prince about your cousin's identity. But I really didn't mean it!"
"Now that you've punished me and vented your anger, please be merciful and forgive me. I really can't stand it anymore. I don't want to go to the fields anymore!"
Qin Qingyao: "..."
What the hell?
How did this even involve that short-lived Yoo Shi-won? Is there still a drama when the body is already rotting?
"When did you tell the prince about my cousin's identity?" She didn't intend to pursue anything, she was just curious.
After all, she had never dealt with Ming Ruoxi before, and she certainly had never offended her. Dugu Yu didn't look like someone who had any intersection with her. Why did she go to Dugu Yu and gossip about her and Liu Shiyuan?
Ming Ruoxi looked at Qin Qingyao angrily with red eyes, with an expression that said, "Why are you pretending?"
Lin Xiafeng said gently, "Princess, you may have forgotten that your cousin came to visit you during the first month of the lunar year to reminisce about the past. That time..."
"Continue with your head!"
Lin Xiafeng: “…”
There is no need to endure it anymore. Qin Qingyao believed that she had tried her best to avoid Lin Xiafeng's edge and swallow her anger in front of him during this trip.
But is this girl under a spell or something? You're the heroine, and you're always targeting her as a minor character. Don't you think it's beneath you?
How Yoo Shi-won died is still under investigation. How dare you use this to slander me?
Even if you say you're wishing her a happy new year, visiting her, or even just visiting her, she'll tolerate it. But is reminiscing about the past appropriate? What the hell is going on between her and Yoo Shi Won?
Ling Anli said, "Qin Qingyao, besides swearing like this, can you even speak human language?"
"Princess Anli, besides jumping up and down and yelling like this, do you still have the dignified manners of a royal family?"
"you……"
Qin Qingyao, "What the hell are you three doing here today? Are you just throwing a tantrum?"
"Does this princess look like she has nothing to do with herself? Ming Ruoxi, what is your relationship to me? Where do you get the confidence to think you're worthy of my taking the trouble to punish and retaliate against you?"
"You're rude, uneducated, and ignorant of the law. You let people's buffalo go without caring about how they can live. Do you think you're wronged?"
"If you're not happy with this punishment, why didn't you say so earlier? Are you mute?"
"If you don't want my help, if you really have any integrity, you should have taken the blame yourself and gone to jail. Why are you putting yourself in such a difficult position and letting me take revenge on you? Why are you trying to compromise and get into a paddy field?"
"You're the type who takes advantage and still acts ungratefully!"
Ming Ruoxi looked at Qin Qingyao with her mouth slightly open, forgetting even to blink. She looked so shocked, as if she had never seen Qin Qingyao before.
"You were born into a wealthy family, and you're lucky. But once you went to the paddy fields, you burst into tears and cried out that you couldn't survive. What would the people think of you? Are you the only human being in this world?"
Ling Anli, "You only know how to talk without any pain in your waist, why don't you go out and work!"
Qin Qingyao said, "I didn't go around herding other people's cattle, so why should I suffer for her?"
"If you're looking for death, then you should take responsibility! If you really think I've done something wrong, if you really think I'm harming you, then go and turn yourself in!"
"Thirty lashes of the cane and two years in prison await you. If you have the guts to walk into the government office and surrender yourself and go to jail, I, the princess, will work in the fields for a month as an apology!"
"If you don't have that ability, then shut up and get out. My time is precious and I don't want to waste it on a bunch of weirdos like you!"
This scolded all three of them. Ming Ruoxi's face turned pale and she was about to collapse. Ling Anli thought for a long time but couldn't think of a way to attack Qin Qingyao, and his face turned red with anger.
Lin Xiafeng was also so angry that her teeth were itching. She didn't know how many times Qin Qingyao had taught her a lesson like this. This time, she must not let her be so arrogant again.
