The flower was like a dream, grasping the flower in the rain, and her mouth was still not clean. Even if the flower did not lack pampering this daughter, how could she tolerate her willfulness in front of Mr. Shi?

  He pushed Hua Ruoyan away and shouted: "Are you crazy? Why did you hit your seventh sister for no reason?"

  Hua Ruo Meng still didn't recognize her and loudly said: "I'm not crazy, it's this little girl who provoked me first, today I will beat her to death."

  She said, wanting to go and fight again, but the rain was getting heavier, so she quickly got up and hid behind Hua's back, her eyes wide with terror, looking like she was about to faint. "Dad... save me..."

  The flower was so disobedient that it didn't listen to the call, the flower couldn't bear it and slapped her face with a loud slap. "You scoundrel! Don't you see what kind of place this is? You dare to be so wild!"

  Hua Ruomeng, who had never been beaten before, was stunned at once. Gu's wife took a look and said, "The two children are just playing, why should the master be angry?"

  The flower suddenly took out a majestic aura and scolded: "Don't you see what kind of state the child has been spoiled into? Can't even tell the difference between joking around and being serious?"

  Just now so ferocious, scratching and tearing at himself, yet he says it's just joking around? Hiding behind the flower that is not lacking in beauty, Flower Rain naturally knows that this cheap father is shielding Huā Ròu Mèng.

  Since I dared to provoke them, how could I easily satisfy their demands?

  She no longer pretended to be pitiful behind Hua Buqu, but instead smiled provocatively at Hua Ruo Meng. Just as Hua Ruo Meng woke up with a start and covered her face, she happened to see it, and was even more furious, tears streaming down her face as she glared at Hua Buqu, "Who's fooling around with this cheap servant? Father didn't even bother to investigate the truth before hitting me, doesn't he know that this cheap servant is hiding behind you, laughing smugly?"

  With the appearance of having been rained on just now, he didn't believe that Hua was hiding behind him and laughing even if he were to be beaten to death. He let out a cold hum, "Not fooling around? Then it's getting serious? So unruly, go back immediately and copy the Female Precepts one hundred times as punishment!"

  Hua Ruo Meng was stunned, turned around and rushed into Mrs. Gu's arms, crying loudly, "Mother, look at Father being biased! Originally, Seventh Sister was the one who made a mistake first, but Father not only scolded me, he also punished me, why?"

  Madam Gu patted Huā Ròu Mèng's back and gave a cold glance at Huā Zhe Yǔ, who was hanging her head low. "Sir, there must be a reason for things," she said. "Rou Meng isn't one to be unreasonable. She's so angry, sir, just punishing her won't do, will it? The child won't obey." In her heart, Huā Ròu Mèng liked to bully Huā Zhe Yǔ, but it was all just mischief, she had never seen her chase and hit like this before. She must have done something terribly wrong. Her own daughter couldn't be wronged by that little wretch.

  Mr. Gu was too protective, and Hua couldn't help but awkwardly say to Shi Gonggong: "I didn't expect the two kids to make a scene, it's really embarrassing for Shi Gonggong."

  "Ha ha, what's so funny? Our people are already here, no need to rush. Let's sort out the young lady's affairs first, shall we?"

  He finished speaking and looked at the flowers in the rain, his slender and sharp eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

  The flower was not lacking in the palace, but Hua Ruomeng thought that as a member of the imperial family, she should be exempt from household chores. However, Shi Gonggong said so, and she couldn't say anything else, so she had to lower her face and ask Hua Ruomeng: "Alright, since you think you were wronged by being punished, tell me, what did your seventh sister do to offend you?"

  "Hua Ruoyi pointed at Hua Zhenyu and said, 'Father, look at the clothes she's wearing. They're the new ones I made for her this season, but she hasn't even worn them once. And yet, early this morning, she had one of her maids sneak into my courtyard and steal those clothes from me! This kind of thievery isn't something Father should punish me for, is it? Why are you punishing me instead?' "

  The flower didn't lack a glance, and the rain didn't fall on it. In a stern voice, "You actually did such a good deed?"

  Historical records show that when the emperor heard her words, he secretly became angry. This was because the lady from the Gu family relied on her father being the Right Prime Minister and her older brother having control over tens of thousands of troops, while her younger sister was also a highly favored imperial concubine. She had always been arrogant and now even dared to deceive the empress herself, thinking that the great Da Ze dynasty was truly founded by her Gu family?

  He smiled faintly and said casually: "The day before yesterday, after the caravan set off, Mr. He happened to have checked the dowry list..."

  Gu's face turned pale, and Hua didn't miss the implication. She couldn't help but give Gu a dark glance. Fortunately, Shi Gonggong also left them some face and didn't finish speaking. He then turned to scold Hua Yu: "You may have stolen or borrowed it today, but in any case, wearing someone else's clothes is not dignified. Even if you don't know what's good for you and love to pick faults, this grand Guo Gong Fu can't afford you. The rewards given by the Empress Dowager and the Queen to Princess Funing back then should be enough for you to squander, yet you're reluctant to take them out?"

  The fragrance of rain whispers a refined meaning, I raise my eyes, and my pupils shine like starlight... "Mother fears that I will lose something..."

  "It's true, this girl has always been careless. If those things were lost, it would be disrespect to the Empress Dowager and the Queen. Fortunately, they are still stored in the treasury. Luckily, they weren't used as dowry this time. Next time when Seventh Girl goes to North Ming, we can add them together." Madam Gu cut her off, laughing and saying.

  When Shi Gong saw the flower in the rain, he suddenly understood, and with just one glance, her eyes seemed to open a window to her soul. She was no longer as dull and helpless as before, but instead shone brightly inside, clearly an intelligent and agile woman. Suddenly, he recalled Empress Jing when she first entered the palace at this age, pure and simple, yet struggling to survive in adversity...

  He was moved in his heart and decided to help her, so he glanced at Madame Gu and said: "Actually, Seventh Miss is going to be the Queen of Beiming this time, taking advantage of this opportunity, why not let Seventh Miss learn more about managing household chores? Those properties and whatnot should also be given to her to hone her skills. So, madam, it's better to give those things to her now, whether good or bad, and let her try."

  Gu's family clenched their teeth in anger, isn't this just what that dead girl wanted?

  At this point, Hua Buqi also felt that she was being too unreasonable by remaining silent, so he scolded: "What are you still dazing about? Why don't you go get it?"

  Shi Gonggong waited, Gu Shi had no choice but to let Zhou Mama open the treasury and bring out the items. With a mouthful of warm words, she reluctantly handed over two purple sandalwood boxes containing jewelry and several land deeds to Hua Zheyu's hands.

  Hua Ruo Meng, who was standing aside, was so angry that she wanted to spit fire. She wanted to speak up but was constantly being pressed down by Zhou Mama in secret. She really couldn't understand why the situation had turned into returning the two sets of rewards she had set her eyes on to Hua Zhe Yu, when they were originally there to investigate Hua Zhe Yu's crime of theft?

  Shi Gonggong asked some more details about the encounter with the killer that day, sat for a while, and then left. After everyone had gone, Hua Ruo Meng finally couldn't help but call out: "Mother, why did you give those things to her? Didn't you say they were for me as dowry?"

  Gu's mother hated that her daughter was as useless as a piece of iron that couldn't be made into steel, and she tapped her forehead, "If you had half the intelligence of your third sister, things wouldn't have turned out like this today!"

  "What does this have to do with me?"

  "Miss Eighth, today was clearly a scheme set up by Seventh Miss using the opportunity of Master Shi's visit. The whole thing about stealing clothes and borrowing clothes is all her trickery, with the ultimate goal being those pieces of jewelry and land. Haven't you figured it out yet?"

  Hua Ruo Meng was stunned.

  Gu's family was in a bad mood and said: "I suppose it's the theft of clothes, I'm afraid it's also your conspiracy with Chun Tao that servant girl?"

  Hua Ruoyu was stunned, indeed, she wanted to use this matter to teach Hua Zhiyu a lesson and vent the anger from yesterday when she and the Fourth Prince were close.

  Mr. Gu almost scolded her as a fool, but seeing that Zhou's mother was not in the right mood, she made a round of remarks: "Madam, Seventh Miss suddenly grasped Eighth Miss's temperament and came up with such a despicable plan, this matter is strange, when did she have such a good mind?"
