"Ming Cui, stop talking. Mom and Dad are already sad enough." Bai Zhirou stopped Ming Cui. Her own mood was not much better.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the flower hall was a little heavy, completely devoid of the joy just now.
Bai's mother sobbed and kept muttering about Xia Yuning for half an hour.
Xia Yuning didn't want to recognize Bai's father and mother, nor did she want to go back to the Bai family.
But Bai's father and mother always believed that Xia Yuning was their biological child, and she had an inseparable blood relationship with the Bai family.
"Zhirou, can you please ask Prince Rong to let us take Yu Ning back to Jiangnan?" Madam Bai said after sobbing for a while.
Bai Zhirou remained silent. She didn't want Xia Yuning, the evildoer, to stay with Bai's father and mother.
But when she saw Bai's mother's expectant eyes, Bai Zhirou couldn't bear it.
"I'll give it a try," Bai Zhirou said. The meal was rather dull. There was a welcoming banquet for the Third Prince in the palace that evening, and as Princess Mingzhu, Bai Zhirou was eligible to attend.
I wanted to take Mr. and Mrs. Bai with me, but they refused.
After a break, Bai Zhirou took Mingcui to find Prince Rong to explain the matter.
Prince Rong pondered for a long time. He now wished he could kill Xia Yuning to vent his anger. Throwing her into the manor to fend for herself was already the greatest mercy he could show!
Unexpectedly, the Bai couple was willing to take Xia Yuning away.
Prince Rong nodded in agreement, "But her shameful deeds must not be spread out, otherwise I will hold you accountable."
Bai Zhirou was angered by his words and laughed, "Ask for me? What qualifications do you have to ask for me? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! The wealth of the capital is so alluring, and your good daughter wants it so badly."
Bai Zhirou turned and left, leaving Prince Rong with a lot of anger and nowhere to vent.
Upon learning that Prince Renrong's Mansion agreed to let them take Xia Yuning back to Jiangnan, Bai's father and mother swept away their previous gloom and their faces were filled with joy.
In the evening, Bai Zhirou took her father and mother to the night market.
There is no curfew in the capital. At this time, the streets are brightly lit, and small vendors are doing business. Parents are taking their children out to watch plays, and rich young men are going out in groups of three or four to eat and drink.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai returned home after a very enjoyable shopping trip.
After Xia Yuning was sent to a farm in the countryside, she lived a life worse than death every day.
She was washing clothes in the yard at the moment. There was a wooden basin that was bigger than her, and a pile of clothes half a person's height next to it. She had to wash all of them by herself.
Her hands were white and wrinkled from washing. She rubbed the dirty clothes vigorously in water that was as dirty as ink, and her exposed arms were covered with scars.
There were two vicious old women watching over her.
"Wash quickly! We'll go weed the fields in the afternoon!" One of the old women said while eating peaches in big mouthfuls and spitting.
Xia Yuning hated her very much, but she didn't dare to do anything, because if she yelled at them or vented any dissatisfaction, she would be beaten up.
"Our prince and princess have already abandoned you. Don't think you're still some young lady. Here, you're just like us, a servant!"
Another old woman proudly raised the whip in her hand, which had turned black and red due to being stained with an unknown liquid.
When Xia Yuning saw the whip, she shrank back reflexively and quickened her movements.
During the few days here, she no longer dared to think about her rebirth. The daily work made her breathless.
The life in Prince Rong's Mansion seemed like a lifetime ago, but the feeling of unwillingness and depression in his heart remained unchanged.
She was a little slow, and the whip fell again. With a "snap", a scar appeared on her arm.
Xia Yuning endured the pain and kept rubbing her clothes, but the whip kept falling, making her roll on the ground.
Xia Yuning was so angry that she gritted her teeth, her eyes flashed, and she threw herself at the old woman.
The old woman didn't check it out and was caught by her.
Xia Yuning slapped her fleshy face left and right, and soon the old woman's face was covered with bright red palm prints.
The old woman next to them was so shocked by this scene that her eyes widened, and she stepped forward to pull Xia Yuning away.
But Xia Yuning got ruthless and used her hands and mouth to bite off one of her ears without any hesitation. The old woman was immediately covered in blood and looked at Xia Yuning with horror in her eyes.
The old woman's scream resounded through the sky, and one of her ear holes was spit out by Xia Yuning and fell limply on her face.
Xia Yuning's mouth was full of blood, and she laughed with her head tilted back.
The servants in the manor were all frightened by this scene. They thought that the eldest daughter of the mansion was soft and could be bullied, but they didn't expect that she would be so terrifying when she went crazy!
What happened in the manor was quickly reported to Prince Rong by the servants. He looked gloomy and somewhat incredulous.
Such a woman is really terrible!
Xia Yifeng felt a trace of pity in his heart, "Father, there must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you let me take a look?"
Prince Rong would not allow it. These two people had always annoyed him. There happened to be a vacancy in the Ministry of Justice in the capital, and Xia Yifeng was just the right person to go there.
After a busy day, Bai Zhirou began to prepare for the welcoming banquet in the evening.
The clothes and jewelry were already prepared, and she wanted to wear the headdress given to her by the Queen Mother.
Bai Zhirou was originally good-looking, she was just a little thin before. After being nursed back to health and dressed up, she now exudes a noble aura.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Bai were stunned and were a little afraid to recognize him.
"Dad, I'm going to the palace for a banquet. If you have nothing to do, just stay in the princess's mansion. Just tell the servants if you have anything." After Bai Zhirou arranged everything, she took Mingcui into the palace.
A long queue had formed at the palace gate, and women in groups of three or four were chatting and talking about interesting things that had happened recently in the capital.
When they saw Bai Zhirou getting off the carriage, they were all slightly startled and then looked at her.
The status of these women from official families was not as high as Bai Zhirou, so they all saluted her.
Bai Zhirou nodded slightly, signaling everyone to stand. When she thought she would also have to queue up, Chen Zhao appeared beside her.
"You are my fiancée, so you don't have to queue up with them. Come with me." Shen Zhao straightened his chest proudly, raised his chin slightly, and looked a little arrogant.
Hongyu was also with him. "Originally, I was the one who wanted to come and pick up the princess, but Master Shen got there first. Let's go in quickly, the Empress Dowager is waiting."
The setting sun had lost its last ray of light, and the lights in the palace had already been lit.
Hongyu walked in front holding an octagonal palace lantern to lead the way for the two of them, while Bai Zhirou and Shen Zhao walked side by side.
The two are an engaged couple, so this is not considered impolite.
The palace has a more majestic look at night, and all the palaces are lit up, so it doesn't look pitch dark.
This welcoming banquet was held in a side hall of the Golden Throne Hall, which was large enough to accommodate more than 200 people.
When Bai Zhirou arrived, the Queen Mother was looking at her lovingly.
