Chapter 43 The real daughter is about to be replaced by a fake daughter
Concubine Fang's eyes became sharp, and she stared at him directly: "Father, have you ever thought that I am also a girl, and I am still growing up, so I can't stand the punishment?"
Zhang's father's momentum was suppressed, and his voice became much softer, lacking confidence: "It is because you were injured that I know that I can't use family discipline on children casually."
"You know you can't handle that, so don't let Xiao Qi follow in your footsteps again."
Concubine Fang sneered: "I am saving your lives. If you don't restrain yourself, your whole family will be finished."
"beat!"
Zhang Qi was pinned down, and the servant took out a dark brown solid wood stick with sharp barbs.
With one blow of the stick, the flesh was hooked and hung on the barbs.
The blood stained the stick even darker.
Bei Jingchu added: [The color of that thing doesn’t look like wood. ]
[Could it be that the blood of generations of prisoners from the Zhang family stained it like this? ]
That was true, but Concubine Fang didn’t want to scare the child, so she pretended not to hear it.
That thing once hit Concubine Fang, but now she is the user.
The wooden stick has no thoughts; it symbolizes the power of the feudal family.
After the beating, the cloth that was covering Zhang Qi's mouth was taken out, but she no longer had the strength to cry out in pain.
"Does it hurt?" Concubine Fang asked her while sitting down.
But the arrogant Seventh Miss couldn't even raise her head.
"The maid you beat to death was in the same pain. I haven't beaten you to death yet because of our blood relationship."
"If you really do things without leaving any trace, I won't blame you."
"You are so arrogant. I cannot let you cause trouble for me."
"Lift it down."
The others around were silent.
Those of them who had done nothing wrong were all recalling with trepidation whether they had gotten into any trouble since their sister entered the palace.
And those who knew they had committed a crime were even more trembling.
Soon, Concubine Fang called the next one.
Her smile was gentle, but Zhang Laosan, who was called by her name, felt that it looked eerie.
Because what Concubine Fang said was: "You are forcing a woman to be your concubine, right?"
Zhang Laosan knelt down and kowtowed: "Sister, I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please forgive me, brother."
Concubine Fang nodded: "Since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, the punishment will be reduced by half. Go ahead."
"No……"
All of a sudden he was also gagged, pinned to the bench and beaten.
After dealing with everyone one by one, Concubine Fang moved her arms which were sore from holding the baby for too long.
There was a pool of blood in the courtyard and the servants were cleaning it up.
The two elders of the Zhang family looked livid. Mrs. Zhang was frightened by Lei Lifeng's fierce battle and did not dare to put on airs like she did at the beginning.
But she still complained quietly: "Fang Fei, you are really disrespectful to your father."
"He is your father after all."
【He is your father after all】
Bei Jingchu has memorized this sentence after repeating it for a whole day.
Mrs. Zhang's complaints and Bei Jingchu's weird thoughts came out at the same time, and Concubine Fang almost couldn't hold it in again.
Bei Jingchu was so tired of being in love that he buried his head in Concubine Fang's chest and shut himself up.
Concubine Fang ignored her love-minded mother's complaints. Did they think it was just a matter of saving face?
"From today on, you two will rest in peace in the mansion."
The two were incredulous. "No, we are both in good health and don't need to rest."
They were unwilling to believe that Concubine Fang wanted to confine them to their homes.
"It doesn't matter whether you are healthy or not. The main thing is that I don't want you to go out."
"You two have committed many sins, but as children of others, it is not appropriate to punish you. So, confine you to your home to reflect on your sins."
Then he hugged Bei Jingchu and left without looking back.
The two elders of the Zhang family wanted to go forward and pull her, but they were blocked by the guards who brought her here, and they couldn't even touch the corner of her skirt.
She is now completely different from them.
After returning to the palace, Concubine Fang returned Bei Jingchu to the emperor, but he was not in the Xuanshi Hall, but went to the Empress Dowager's Renshou Hall.
Concubine Fang was a cautious person. She did not dare to leave Bei Jingchu to the servants in Xuanshi Palace, and insisted on handing her over to the emperor personally.
So he took her to Renshouden.
As soon as I entered, I heard the Queen Mother's voice and I knew she was in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, the emperor also had a smile on his face, looking as if he was in high spirits.
Bei Jingchu had a lot of doubts in her small head.
[No, how did you two get back together? ]
[Didn't they say that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a grudge against each other and never looked happy until their death?]
Bei Jingchu touched his head, unable to figure it out.
Oh no, my head is itchy and I need to grow a brain.
The Queen Mother took Bei Jingchu over and made a request to the Emperor: "Heng'er, Chu'er should stay with me and be raised by me for now."
The emperor did not refuse, but he stared at the empress dowager, trying to awaken her maternal love.
The Queen Mother held her forehead in silence and said, "Then let Chu'er play here for a few days. When Chu'er gets bored, I'll send him back, okay?"
The emperor thought, I don’t know whether Chu’er is tired of playing or you are tired of playing with Chu’er.
But he finally reconciled with the Queen Mother, and now he didn't dare to say it.
After Concubine Fang finished telling the story of the Zhang family, the Queen Mother praised her for handling it well.
Then he let her leave.
However, before leaving, Concubine Fang looked back every few steps, reluctant to leave.
The Queen Mother teased her curiously, "Why do you miss me so much after coming back from a trip?"
Concubine Fang smiled shyly: "Can I invite the little princess to visit my Xunfeng Palace?"
It turns out that he couldn't bear to part with Chu'er.
The Queen Mother glanced at her eldest granddaughter.
Well, you are worthy of being like this. You have captured Concubine Fang after only being away for a few hours.
Bei Jingchu proudly twisted her butt: [Hehehe, I knew this baby was the cutest. ]
The Queen Mother agreed with her boast that Chu'er in their family was the cutest.
But...
The Queen Mother hugged Bei Jingchu tightly and said to Concubine Fang in a disgusted manner: "Go away, little girl, why do you want everything? Let me have enough of you first and then it will be your turn."
That's the promise.
Concubine Fang thanked him and went back satisfied.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother discussed with the Emperor: "If we want to find a foster mother for Chu Er, Concubine Fang is actually a good choice."
"Otherwise, when people mention Chu'er's mother, they will think of Qi in the cold palace, which will be a burden to Chu'er to some extent."
The emperor had his own thoughts: "I want to pass Chu'er on to the empress after I establish her as the empress."
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Are you talking about the decree that the mother of the eldest prince should be the Queen?"
The emperor nodded.
The Queen Mother advised him: "It is better to withdraw."
"The world is bustling with people, all for profit. Concubines will try their best to have a baby for the sake of their own future."
"You promised them greater benefits, which forced them to take risks for the throne."
"Chu'er's matter is one thing, and Li Fei's matter is another."
"If it weren't for the queen's promise, Concubine Shu wouldn't have gone crazy and poisoned the princess."
The emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Mother is right. I will do it when I get back."
The emperor is gone.
Bei Jingchu found playing with the Queen Mother boring and it was not as exciting as gossip, so she opened her [Information] page to read gossip.
【See what fun there is recently~】
Afterwards, the little girl fell silent. Although the Queen Mother was teasing her, her speech was slow.
But Bei Jingchu was so immersed in the gossip that she didn't pay attention.
Then the little guy let out a series of sharp explosions: [Ah ...
[Grandmother, your niece is about to be kidnapped! ]
[What a lousy plot! The daughter of a Duke's mansion was kidnapped when she was a child, and her family went through untold hardships to find her and raise her until she reached the age of 15.]
[The one who was brought back was a fake one! The real daughter was tortured outside for ten years! ]
