Chapter 30: Shut Her Mouth

The shocking wounds were clearly displayed to the ladies.

"So his face was disfigured. It would be hard not to leave scars from such a horrible wound, right?"

"I never thought that Sheng Jintang, who was so glorious in the past, would become like this."

Bai Jinxiu clenched her fists tightly, looking at the noble ladies who were pointing fingers at her one after another. She collapsed and cried, "No laughing! No laughing!"

"Empress Dowager, what's written in that booklet? Can we take a look?" A noble lady stood up and asked the Empress Dowager curiously.

The Queen Mother raised her hand and waved, saying, "Look! Look at what this shameless woman has done!"

After she finished speaking, the maid picked up the booklet on the ground and handed it to the lady who had spoken. Everyone gathered around to look.

"Don't look! Ah! Don't look!" Bai Jinxiu covered her head with her hands, her face flushed with shame and anger.

"Oh my god, I never knew she was such a vicious woman!"

"How can such a woman be worthy of marrying King Ye?"

"Such bad behavior is simply shameful!"

Bai Jinxiu cried helplessly, her face full of tear marks.

Zhixing was right, she should have escaped that night. No matter where she escaped to, at least she wouldn't be as miserable as she is now!
The Queen Mother was furious when she thought that such a woman almost became her daughter-in-law. She slapped the armrest fiercely and said, "Someone, come! Drag this woman away and give her twenty heavy beatings!"

Bai Jinxiu shook her head in panic: "Queen Dowager, please spare me! Queen Dowager, please spare me!"

No one paid attention to her pleas for mercy, and before she could crawl to the Queen Mother, she was dragged away by two eunuchs.

Sheng Yunqing looked at the direction she left and sighed softly, thinking that he would suffer the consequences if he did evil.

The Queen Mother looked up at Sheng Yunqing, her voice still filled with anger: "You cured my heart disease just to see me get so angry?"

Sheng Yunqing pouted innocently and said, "The Queen Mother, please understand clearly. It was Bai Jinxiu who wanted to take advantage of the past kindness between you and her to ruin the marriage between me and Prince Ye. If I hadn't cured your heart disease, I would have kept the Queen Mother in the dark out of respect for her."

"You!" The Queen Mother snorted unhappily, smiled coldly, and said, "It's not that easy to marry into Prince Ye's Mansion. It's an engagement anyway, and whether it can be married or not still depends on my approval."

Since it is not an imperial decree for immediate marriage, she will wait until Sheng Yunqing is old and ugly, and not let her succeed so easily!
Sheng Yunqing sighed helplessly in his heart. This empress dowager was not an easy mother-in-law to serve.

"Hey, you old woman, you look down on my daughter, and I look down on your son even more!" Sheng Yuting cursed.

Sheng Yunqing saw that although the empress dowager was harsh in her words, she was actually a blessed person and had done many good deeds in her daily life. She just had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

The Queen Mother looked at her, frowned slightly, and said, "You've been standing for so long, go back and sit down."

Sheng Yunqing smiled playfully: "It's still the Queen Mother who loves me."

The Queen Mother turned her face away and frowned awkwardly.

Who wants to love this girl? She is so shameless.

She just thought that she was an eyesore standing there. It was definitely not because she read the booklet and felt sorry for the poor girl's miserable experience. Absolutely not!

She pointed at the cakes on the table and said to the maid beside her, "I get annoyed when I see her. Go, take these cakes and stuff them into her mouth."

Sheng Yunqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for the reward."

The Queen Mother said coldly: "Who wants to reward you? You are just being sentimental." Sheng Yueying looked at Sheng Yunqing with admiration. Although the Queen Mother spoke to her so coldly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she had captured the Queen Mother's heart.

The marriage between Sheng Yunqing and Ye Jinchen is settled, and her sister Sheng Qiuyao can also be married into a good family.

Thinking of this, Sheng Yueying lowered her head and smiled with satisfaction.

I originally hated her coming to the Marquis' Mansion, but after she came, the Mansion became better and better.

Bai Jinxiu lost consciousness halfway through being beaten with the stick and was left in the yard. She returned to the mansion with the three young ladies of the Sheng family only after the banquet was over.

The news that Bai Jinxiu was disliked by the Queen Mother spread throughout the Marquis's Mansion, and even affected the Bai family.

Sheng Yukun swept the teacup on the table to the ground, pointed at Bai's nose and cursed: "Is this the person you tried so hard to keep? Look at how much shame you have brought to our Sheng family!"

Bai was startled and took a few steps back trembling.

"Uncle, that's wrong." Sheng Yunqing lowered his head and played with the ends of his hair, saying, "Bai Jinxiu's surname is not Sheng. No matter how angry the Queen Mother is, it has nothing to do with the Sheng family."

Bai secretly cursed Sheng Yunqing in her heart. The Marquis had taught her a lesson and sent all her children to the backyard, but he still kept this girl to laugh at her!

Sheng Yukun nodded and said, "Qing'er is still far-sighted." He turned his head and glared at Bai, saying, "Let her embarrass your family!"

Bai's face gradually turned pale. Originally, Bai Jinxiu was allowed to take her maiden name, but her parents were extremely opposed to it. They were eager to cut off all ties with that woman of unknown origin.

She coaxed her parents, saying that Bai Jinxiu was deeply loved by the Queen Mother and had the hope of becoming Princess Ye, bringing honor to the family, and only then did her parents reluctantly agree.

If they knew about this, they would probably cut off all ties with me.

"Aunt, you don't have to think of any countermeasures. The Queen Mother hates Bai Jinxiu. The dozen or so noble ladies present have seen it. The news has spread like wildfire and has already reached the Bai Mansion."

Bai's expression became visibly panicked.

"I'm going to kill that bitch right now!" Sheng Yukun said as he rushed towards the woodshed.

"Master! No!" Bai grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Please spare her life!"

"If you defend me again, I will kill you too!" Sheng Yukun yelled at Bai and pushed her away.

A small hand grabbed his sleeve. Sheng Yukun looked down and saw Sheng Yi looking at him with red eyes. He said, "Daddy, please don't be mean to Mommy, okay?"

Sheng Yukun looked at him and his expression eased a little. He said, "Why doesn't Yi'er go play with the sisters?"

Sheng Yi shook his head and said, "Yier misses mother."

Sheng Yunqing narrowed his eyes slightly. Sheng Yi was still so young and so attached to his mother. If Bai Jinxiu was really executed, the Bai family would inevitably die. Then Sheng Yi...

Sheng Yukun leaned over, picked up Sheng Yi and coaxed him softly, and Sheng Yi raised his little hand to wipe away his tears.

"Master, Miss Bai has a high fever and has been unconscious." The maid came to report.

"Why are you telling me such a trivial matter? It would be better if that bitch died." Sheng Yukun said impatiently.

But Mrs. Bai was so frightened that her face turned pale. She murmured, "Bai Jinxiu, you can't die, you can't die!" She anxiously said to the maid, "Why don't you call a doctor quickly?!"
