Chapter Thirteen: Reaping What One Sows

  Lotus leaf quickly returned to the mansion, just saying that Miss had offended the Empress Dowager and was sentenced to punishment, now both hands are already disabled. Wang's mother-in-law had a complacent face, knowing that her sister was indeed reliable, letting the mother and daughter be proud, and then interjected: The second miss is also too reckless, offending the Empress Dowager. What can we do? Don't be sad, big sister, lest your body can't bear it. This old master loves the second miss so much, if he knows, he will be even more heartbroken.

  Yang's face turned pale, and Lian Ye felt a slight twinge of guilt in her heart. The young lady was indeed ruthless.

  Pang Luoxue gazed out of the car window at Wang Yiniang's smug expression, thinking to herself: "Auntie, you'd better enjoy your smile while it lasts. Who knows what would happen if it were your own daughter?" When she saw Yang Shi's pale face, a twinge of guilt arose in her heart. It was because Yang Shi was too gentle that she was being bullied by the aunties. She had to make her see their true nature so they wouldn't take advantage of her. "Mother, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm."

  Yang saw Wang's excited face and her heart sank, even though she was foolish, she could see that her daughter must have been hurt, and this matter must be related to her. She secretly regretted not taking good care of her daughter, now the concubine dared to be so arrogant in front of her. Seeing the carriage slowly approaching, Yang hurried forward.

  The curtain was gently pulled open by a pale white hand. What appeared before people's eyes was not the eldest sister, but Pang Luoxue with a worried expression. Pang Luoxue was helped down from the carriage, and Yang held her to look left and right, making sure there was no harm, before tightly hugging her in her arms. Pang Luoxue took deep breaths of the fragrance that belonged to her mother, and her heart suddenly calmed down a lot, tightly embracing her mother.

  At this time, Yang's heart was also a little scared, worried that because of her own weakness, her child would be wronged. Fortunately, fortunately, Xueer is fine.

  Yang turned to look at Lian Ye: "The second young lady is safe and sound, who was punished by the empress? Why not say it clearly?" At this time, Yang turned to look at Wang Niang and saw her staring nervously at Xue Er, so she knew that this woman was up to no good again. It's really a good day to be over. As the mistress of the Guo Gong Fu, there is never a chance for her to show off, not just for herself but also for the sake of the child.

  "Since the young lady has offended the empress, you all come and tell me about it one by one. First, take her back to the Listening Rain Pavilion and let the doctor treat her. The master is busy with many things lately, so don't go disturb him." As soon as Yang finished speaking, Wang's mother rushed over and fell onto Pang Luoyu's body, crying bitterly. Upon hearing Yang's words, she couldn't help but feel wronged and said, "The young lady has been injured like this, of course we must tell the master and let him seek justice for her. How can the empress use such a severe punishment? My Rain has always been afraid of pain since childhood, how can she bear it?"

  "Hmph, you were so arrogant just now, but now you're putting on such an act. Earlier, sister said that the master is busy and weak, can't withstand shocks, and the empress must have had her reasons for punishing him. Does sister think it's unfair, or does she think that as a legitimate daughter, Miss should be treated this way? On the other hand, a concubine-born like you is being so pampered?" Yang said in an unpleasant tone.

  The queen felt as if she had swallowed half a fly, looking at her daughter's painful appearance, her heart was tightly clenched. Now the most important thing is Yu'er's hand, it seems that it is mostly useless. How can Yu'er, who is so proud and arrogant, accept this? This morning, the noble consort sent a message saying that everything has been arranged properly and will definitely give Yu'er a satisfactory answer. I know that with the noble consort's care, Yu'er will be safe and sound, and will make a big splash. But she can't afford to provoke the madam now, after all, it's not her turn yet. So she had someone carry Pan Luoyu and Song Zhi back to listen to Yu Xuan's diagnosis and treatment.

  On the other hand, Yang personally sent Pang Luoxue back to Luoxue Pavilion and told Yang about what had happened. Yang was heartbroken after listening, feeling sorry for her daughter on one hand and hating those people's cruelty on the other. She was delighted to hear that Xue'er was adopted as a goddaughter, and those people were indeed foolish. When Master returned home in the evening, Wang would definitely not let it go. So she ordered someone to reward a long white ginseng from Changbai Mountain to the eldest sister to nourish her body, and arranged for lotus root to cook an Anshen soup, watching Pang Luoxue drink it before leaving.

  In the evening, Duke Pang returned to his mansion and was summoned by Wang's maid. Wang cried with tears streaming down her face, but fearing it would affect Madame's mood, she didn't dare make a sound. Duke Pang felt displeased in his heart and just as he was about to comfort Wang, he heard from outside that the big madam had arrived.

  The queen got up to greet her, and the lady brought in various gifts. She walked in politely and said to Duke Pang: "I had someone prepare some tonic for Yu'er, and Xue'er was also frightened and cried non-stop. I just fed her a calming soup, and she just fell asleep. I came to see Yu'er and prepared many tonics for her. It's really pitiful for these two children."

  Pang Guogong heard that his second daughter was also frightened and immediately became tense: "Second girl, are you okay? Has your mood improved a bit? I'll go see her in a while."

  Yang smiled and said: "Xue Er doesn't want to trouble you with worries, after all, the affairs of the imperial court are already troublesome enough. How can we let these small matters trouble you? In the end, it's all because Cong Zhi was careless and put the embroidery that Xue Er gave me in the brocade box that Yu Er presented to the Empress Dowager. Peony, paeony, and snow - Xue Er couldn't even tell them apart! And yet this maidservant Cong Zhi had the audacity to steal the Empress Dowager's jade pendant. It's really infuriating, and it also implicated Big Sister in suffering humiliation. Yu Er is also at fault, she discovered it before presenting it but didn't stop it, it's truly strange.

  Wang Yiniang listened with increasing trepidation, watching the scene unfold without realizing that she had inadvertently caused Master to become displeased with her and her daughter. It was truly a case of digging one's own grave. With no way to express their grievances, the original plan to harm Second Miss and Madame had backfired, not only failing but also causing Master to become unhappy. Seeing his gentle and virtuous wife, Marquis Ping felt a softening in his heart, and the meddling of the concubine made him feel displeased: "This matter has been handled well by Madame, but you, Ruo Song, are so unreasonable, I already know about Rain's situation, that maid servant has been dismissed, such useless slaves will only bring calamity to their masters."

  The queen mother had no choice but to agree.

  Pang Guo Gong went out with his wife, and they walked all the way to Jin Xiu Ge. As he looked at his wife, who had grown up together with him since childhood, they had just returned to Jin Xiu Ge when a maid came to report: "The fourth madam is not feeling well, and she wants Master to take a look."

  Pang Guogong felt a splitting headache: it was unbearable to look for a doctor, and he couldn't cure the illness anyway.

  Yang saw a faint smile, every time the country master returned to the house, the fourth aunt would find various reasons to let him go over, nothing more than some trivial matters. With a pregnant belly but many thoughts in mind, she smiled and said: Tell the fourth aunt that Master will go see her after dinner, prepare some top-grade bird's nest and take it over, just say it's Master's reward.

  The husband looked at his wife handling things properly in real-time, feeling even more guilty for being dissatisfied with her earlier due to the instigation of Queen Wang. Just as he was about to speak, Yang said, "Today I'll accompany Master to see your sister, and it just so happens that I've prepared some excellent medicine for a safe pregnancy, also hoping that your sister can bring good fortune to our family."

  Pang Guogong's eyes were filled with emotion: having such a virtuous wife, what more could he ask for.

  The romantic and sweet atmosphere of Jinxiu Pavilion, but at this time, the courtyard of Fourth Aunt's house was indeed turned upside down.
