Mrs. Bei was stunned, but thinking that her son had just returned from the palace, she knew something must have happened.
She saw that her son's eyes were red, perhaps he was blamed by the emperor in the palace.
"Are you in the palace?"
"The Emperor said his son looks like Emperor Taizong."
With just these words, Mrs. Bei's face turned pale and she looked at her son in horror.
Everyone knows that the retired emperor hates Taizong the most.
What good future can a person who is accused by the retired emperor of being like Taizong have?
This time, Mrs. Bei, her "son", was really frightened.
"Mother, I can no longer indulge Li."
Mrs. Bei has only one son, and she has always put him first.
Since he was already dissatisfied with the Li family, he was naturally happy about it.
"Okay, you are the head of the family, whatever you say goes."
Grand Tutor Bei heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Mother also saw Li and Zhe'er today."
"Well, who told you to indulge the Li family in the past? When Shuxian was born, I wanted to take her in, but you refused. After Zhe'er and the others were born, I wanted to take them in, but you still refused. You also allowed your three sons to get close to the Li family. Look at them now, they are even closer to the Li family. They don't even pay attention to me, their grandmother, and you, their father."
When Mrs. Bei said this, she felt very uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but complain again: "In the past, I gave you a concubine, but you doted on Li and didn't care about the life or death of the concubine. Look at your harem, anyone who wanted a son couldn't give birth to one, otherwise there would be two deaths.
Even if the Li family didn't make a move, what about the Li family? They've stretched their hands too far, and yet you don't care.
At this time, Taifu Bei also regretted it. He used to like Li and only cared about Li and her legitimate daughters and sons. He didn't care about other concubines and illegitimate children.
But now, apart from the two concubines' daughters, there are only three sons and one daughter born to Li.
Unfortunately, Li's three sons and one daughter were difficult to tame, and all of them sided with the Li family.
It was he who indulged Li and her three sons and one daughter, making them feel safe and secure, and they even ignored him.
"Mother, please find a concubine for your son."
Master Bei decided to take another concubine.
So after leaving Madam Bei, Master Bei took a young and beautiful maid back with him.
"Madam, something terrible has happened."
Li was waiting for Master Bei to come and apologize to her, but she saw Master Bei accepting the concubine given by Old Madam Bei, and she immediately became angry.
"Pack up your things and return to the Duke's Mansion."
It was because she had been too compliant with him in the past that he felt that the daughter of the Li family could be humiliated at will.
"Madam, you can't."
The wet nurse hurriedly spoke out to stop it.
"Nanny, you shouldn't have stopped me."
"Madam, the Queen is returning home today. It would not be good if Madam went back to her parents' home."
By then, it would be a slap in the face of the royal family.
Li finally calmed down and said, "Nurse is right. I can't bring disaster to the Duke's Mansion."
The emperor emeritus is the most protective person.
Maybe the emperor knows what happened today.
Thinking of this, Li's heart tightened, and she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let him be. It's not like he hasn't taken concubines before. Let the backyard fight for now."
"Madam, today the Grand Tutor and the old lady are not happy with the Second Young Miss and the three young masters. If that concubine is pregnant..."
"He's just a bastard."
Although Li said this, a fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Bei Lingyao was an exception. She made a foolish mistake once, and she must not let it happen again, causing her children's status to be shaken.
The children she gave birth to are the most noble legitimate children. If these illegitimate children want to compete with her children, don't blame her for being intolerant.
Thinking of Bei Lingyao in the palace, Madam Li said, "Now that the Emperor is well, he will hold a beauty pageant sooner or later. Please tell my mother to prepare for the Li family's daughter. There's still a long way to go. Let her smile first; she'll have a place to cry later."
Li regretted it very much. She had made such a big enemy for herself because of her momentary confusion.
As a result, Master Bei has become alienated from her.
"Apply the medicine to the Second Miss and don't let her get any scars."
Although Mrs. Li also blamed her daughter, she was more worried about the scars on her daughter's body.
Bei Shuxian was still crying. "Wow, it hurts so much! How could Father do this to me? It's not my fault. It was originally mine. What's wrong with me taking it back? Isn't it Grandma who should be blamed? There's a large courtyard next to Rong'an Hall. It was my aunt's boudoir before she got married. Grandma kept that courtyard for years and didn't let anyone live there. Why did she have to be obsessed with my courtyard?"
"Second Miss, don't cry." The maid advised. As a servant, she couldn't say much about this matter.
"How can I not cry? My father almost beat me to death. Ten lashes! He's so cruel. He really wants to beat me to death. He beat me with so much force. My whole body hurts now, and my mother won't even come to see me."
Bei Shuxian felt very aggrieved.
"Tell my mother to get me a doctor. I can't have any scars on my body."
After a while, the maid came back and told the reason in embarrassment.
Bei Shuxian exploded, "What? We can't hire a female doctor? Why?"
She pulled the wound, grimacing in pain and gasping for air.
"It's because of Queen Bei again..."
Bei Shuxian said nothing more, and a deep hatred appeared in her eyes.
She had never thought that her plot would lead her to such a situation, with her grandmother, father and mother all blaming her.
"Go and call Pei Hanxue to me."
Bei Shuxian now thought of Pei Hanxue. Doesn't her elder sister care about Pei Hanxue? After she marries Pei Hanxue, they will live in love and see how good her life will be in the palace.
Pei Hanxue would not dare to take a concubine after marrying her, and she would be the only one in his life. But it was different for Bei Lingyao. The emperor would hold a selection of concubines in his harem sooner or later, and the selection would be held every three years. Let's see how Bei Lingyao compares with those concubines then.
Bei Lingyao will fall out of favor sooner or later. By then, no matter what she does, Bei Lingyao will definitely be killed by the concubines in the harem.
"Second Miss, your face hasn't cleared up yet."
Bei Shuxian touched her face, still feeling a little pain. "Hurry up and apply the medicine to me. Don't think that just because I'm punished today, you guys won't take me seriously. No matter what, I'm still Bei Ai's legitimate daughter. If I hear any gossip or any perfunctory behavior from your master, I'll sell you out."
"I dare not."
Humph, Bei Shuxian didn't say anything else, and she didn't think they would dare to do so.
Just thinking that Emperor Kangde was fine and Bei Lingyao had become the queen who was high above everyone else, Bei Shuxian felt extremely anxious and uncomfortable.
If she didn't marry Pei Hanxue, could she enter the palace?
Bei Shuxian is very confident in herself. She thinks she is more beautiful than Bei Lingyao, more talented than Bei Lingyao, and has a nobler background than Bei Lingyao.
She is the cloud in the sky, and Bei Lingyao is the mud underground.
If she entered the palace, Emperor Kangde would probably look down on Bei Lingyao for being so vulgar and incompetent.
But when she thought about how Emperor Kant didn't even look at her when he came in the morning, Bei Shuxian felt uncomfortable.
She muttered to herself to the maid beside her: "Tell me, does the emperor blame me? Of course he does. I should have been his queen, but I gave him up."
She regrets it so much!
