C47 Lift your head

Lian Rou Yue naturally saw through Aunt Xiao's thoughts and said, "Although I'm the eldest miss, the aunt was married to her father, so she's still a noble concubine. Naturally, it's not for me to teach her a lesson, and there's no reason for her to kneel to me. Hurry up and get up, to prevent others from gossiping."

When Lian Ruyue's words came out, Aunt Xiao could only bitterly stand up and force a smile. "Eldest Miss is right."

"Then go back first, Auntie Xiao." Lian Ruyue smiled as she looked at Lady Xiao, but Auntie Xiao suddenly felt a chill at the back of her head, causing her entire body to tremble.

Clear Spring Academy.

Aunt Xiao walked in with a livid expression. She sat on the chair, holding back her anger, and the maid, Baihe, came over with a cup of tea. She huffed and puffed as she drank it, then immediately smashed the teacup on the ground and ruthlessly slapped Baihe's face with her hand as she scolded:

"You dog, do you want to scald me to death?"

Lily jumped up in fright and quickly kneeled down to cover her face. "Auntie, please spare me, this servant tea servant has tried using the back of her hand, it's already cold ?"

"You still dare to talk back!" Infuriated, Auntie Xiao lifted her hand to pull out the golden hairpin on her head. She pulled it over to Baiyi's arm and forcefully pricked it a few times. "Get out of here."

"Yes, yes ?" Lily endured the pain and picked up her teacup. With tears of grievance in her eyes, she lowered her head and walked out.

"Mom, what happened that made you so angry?" Lian Shiya walked in and asked puzzledly when she saw Lily lower her head and leave with tears in her eyes.

"I specially went to Fu'an Court early in the morning. A woman with the surname 'Rong' shut me down and scolded me in front of a servant. I'm not allowed to call her 'Sister Xue'. I need to address her respectfully as' Madam '." Auntie Xiao had never suffered such a humiliation before. Her face was ashen as if she had just been bestowed the title of a concubine in the Prime Minister's Estate.

"What? Big Sis made you suffer in public?" Lian Shiya was extremely shocked. "Didn't she always listen to you? How could this be? "

"This time when she came back from Yao City, she looked completely different. The ice was cold, and she even had breakfast at Rong Xue's place." Auntie Xiao said with a frown.

"The relationship between the mother and daughter has always been poor. They rarely go to the FuAn Courtyard to pay their respects. Now, they're actually having breakfast together?" Lian Shiya felt that it was even more strange.

"If Lian Nian Bing's heart is punished, then I will be reprimanded in public. All of these actions mean that Lian Ru Yue already has second thoughts towards me. If she can make peace with the Rong family, it will be a huge hindrance to our plan to seize power." Aunt Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Aunt, didn't Second Aunt decide to deal with Lian Ruyue? The person you have placed in front of the mother and daughter is finally going to come in handy. I can't wait for Moon to die as soon as possible! " Lian Shiya's eyes exuded a terrifying coldness.

"Ya Er, don't be too anxious. I'll plan this out for you. You must be clean and pure in the future, don't leave any traces behind, understand?" The Xiao family ordered.

The Xiao family also had the ambition that her daughter would absolutely not marry a common man. Her goal was to enter the palace, and even Shiya wanted to marry someone who would be able to ascend to the throne in the future.

Currently, the situation in the imperial court was unclear. With the crown prince crippled, it was uncertain who would become the next ruler of the imperial court. However, Auntie Xiao and her elder brother Xiao Zhenhai were more optimistic about the eighth prince, Feng Ye, so Xiao Zhenhai was closer to Feng Ye.

But before that, he had to remove all obstacles within the Prime Minister's Estate, otherwise, it wouldn't be the place for Lian Shiya, this concubine, to be so picky about her future husband.

"I just hate Lian Yue so much that I wish I could personally destroy her." Lian Shiya said unwillingly. Her pair of beautiful eyes revealed a sense of hatred.

"I know how you feel, but don't be impatient. Step by step, what you need to do most is to make yourself more outstanding, and completely cover up the moonlight's brilliance. Right, have you read all the medical books that Senior Servant Dong asked you to read? " Auntie Xiao asked with concern.

Lian Shiya's beautiful face revealed a trace of impatience as he said, "Aunt, those medical books are too boring and boring. Moreover, I don't like the smell of medicine at all. I really don't understand, why must Uncle send someone to teach me medical skills? Don't tell me that in the future, when I enter the palace, I'll have to be more skilled than medical skills? My looks are outstanding, and I am proficient in the art of zither, chess, painting, and painting.

"Ya Er, you're still young and don't understand the transformations of men! You know that since ancient times, men have always been the same in terms of liking the new and detesting the old. You are now young and beautiful, but there will be a time when you will enter the palace with a younger and more beautiful appearance. Your beautiful men will also have times when they will get tired of you and their looks will not last forever.

However, if you were proficient in medicine, you would be different from those mediocre and common powders. The princes and even the emperor would look at you in a different light. Your uncle is actively paving the way for you. You must work hard and not let down your uncle's expectations. " Auntie Xiao said patiently.

Lian Shiya was a little unwilling as she said, "I understand. Wait until I've practiced the new Fleeting Dance once, then I'll go find Senior Servant Dong and learn the medical books."

"Yes." Only then did Auntie Xiao reveal a satisfied smile. "Oh right, have you prepared the Old Ancestor's birthday present yet?"

"Aunt, don't worry. I've been preparing for this for a long time. I can guarantee that the Old Ancestor will be as satisfied as he was in the past." In the past, every year, her birthday present was the most popular one amongst the madame. Naturally, it would be the same this year as well; no one could compare to her.

As the old mistress of the Prime Minister's Estate approached her fiftieth birthday, the entire place became bustling with noise and excitement.

Within the current imperial court, Prime Minister Lian Yan Qing was favored by the Emperor, and his mother was the adopted mother of Imperial Consort Shi. Naturally, the old madam's birthday was noticed by many people, and it was known that all of the princes would be present by then, and even the Emperor would send someone to present his birthday present.

In order to gain the old mistress' approval and, more importantly, to amaze everyone during the birthday banquet, everyone was actively preparing their birthday presents, hoping to stand out on the day of their birthday.

However, Ru Yue didn't seem to care about it. She wasn't in a hurry. Every day, she would go to the First Madam's place to have a talk with her family and supervise Lian Fu's daily studies.

As for the rest of the time, she would pluck the flowers in the yard or spend her days in the sun, acting like she didn't have a care in the world.

Until this day, when Qing Dai carried a washbasin, lowered her head and walked in front of her. As usual, she pinched the handkerchief so that she could wipe her face.

She looked up from her book and caught a glimpse of Blue's hand, where the skin had been ripped from several bloody scratches.

Lian Ruyue said, "Qingdai, raise your head."
