Chapter 966: Premeditated
Thinking of Tao Ruyi's frightened shouting just now, one can imagine what happened. Tomorrow morning, word will definitely spread in the Kyoto circle that her reputation is ruined. At this time, reputation is equivalent to a woman's life. Once the public opinion spreads, regardless of whether it is true or false, those noble families will never list her as their daughter-in-law candidate.
No one wants to marry a woman with a tainted reputation and harm their family.
Baiyunxi rubbed her ring finger. She was not opposed to Dongqing's revenge, but she had to be informed beforehand. Who told her to still be the maid of her eldest granddaughter?
If the Tao family discovered it, they might be implicated.
However, that girl was also smart and knew how to use the Lantern Festival to deal with the enemy, and she actually succeeded.
Guess she dares to fight.
"Do you think I can still have that girl?"
Wenyou's eyes flashed with coldness, "He is diligent and smart, but he has too much hatred."
The situation was so tragic that being able to take it upon himself was considered courageous.
As her master taught her for a while, she was satisfied with her plan. But if he harms the Bai family, he will have to be kicked out of the house.
Listening to Wenyou's thoughts, Baiyunxi nodded and stopped talking.
When the second child and the fourth child came back, they got into the carriage and headed back home.
Back at the Banyan Tree Hall, Bai Yunxi put on regular clothes, lay on the Arhat bed, and asked Wenyou to call Dongqing over.
After a while, Holly lowered her head and stepped in, "Old lady, are you looking for me?"
Bai Yunxi looked at her and had to sigh. In addition to being smart, this girl was also calm. "I went to the lantern festival today and saw the excitement. Do you want to know?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's indifferent tone, Dongqing raised her head suddenly, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and knelt down with a plop.
"Forgive me, old lady. I did it very secretly. Will it not hurt the Bai family?"
"Ha~, as the saying goes, there are people who are better than others. You are smart, but others are not stupid. You think you are doing a good job, but I discovered the difference."
holly:"……"
"When I came to Kyoto, I seemed to have warned you not to be impulsive. I thought you were smart and would not bring trouble to the Bai family. I saved you with good intentions, but I didn't ask you to retaliate for kindness."
Bai Yunxi looked at her pale face with an indifferent expression.
"Do you think your behavior today is worthy of us?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's cold tone, Dongqing kowtowed to her with a pale face.
"I know my fault, but I can't let go of the hatred in my heart. Everything in the Tao family was obviously earned by my father, but our family of three is dead and crippled, and my enemy is enjoying the benefits. I am not willing to accept it."
Holly said, her eyes red,
"This slave has been investigating the Tao family for a while. After my father's death and the corruption case was investigated, although my father was cleared, the superiors promoted my second uncle from Yuan Wai Lang to Minister Lang in order to make up for the debt to my father."
It's true that the wealth does not go to outsiders, and she is not willing to compensate it for those vampires.
His official position was obtained by his father's life.
As for her and her mother, apart from being persecuted by the Tao family, they had nothing to gain.
After all, a family born from a concubine has dirty and dirty methods and only does disgusting things.
That being the case, why couldn't she retaliate in kind?
Bai Yunxi looked at her stubborn face and was silent for a moment, thinking of the scene where Tao Ruyi was trampled to the ground in disheveled clothes by everyone, and then looking at the stubborn eyes in front of her, does this mean that good and evil will be rewarded in the end?
"Tao Ruyi was destroyed. If you look closely, do you think you can escape?"
"I'm not afraid of their pursuit. If I really can't escape, I can just publicize their evil deeds so that everyone knows how we, mother and daughter, were persecuted by them. I am willing to pay for this life and fight them to the death."
Dongqing said, kowtowing three times to Dong Dong Dong,
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will say that the Bai family saved me and don't know my identity... Please, master, kick me out of the house."
Anyway, the master just spent a lot of money to buy her back, which was very cheap.
Very good, it seems that this girl is not impulsive.
Instead, he had already planned it and even thought about leaving the mansion.
Bai Yunxi looked at her and almost got angry at her.
"In that case, just pack up and leave with your mother early tomorrow morning? I can't tolerate such a big-hearted servant like you here."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's indifferent tone, the surprise in Dongqing's eyes flashed away.
"Thank you, Master. I will take my leave."
Dongqing stood up, and as soon as she walked to the door, she saw Yaya standing at the door. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end, and walked past her and left.
Yaya pinched the handkerchief, pursed her lips, and looked at Dongqing's leaving figure.
It took a while to reach Baiyunxi,
"Grandma~"
"Are you reluctant to leave her?"
Yaya appeared for a while, but she never made a sound to stop her. This alone was enough to make her happy.
"Grandma knows that you are feeling uncomfortable. You are really good to Holly. You care about her wholeheartedly and even bought her ointment to remove scars. But she only holds hatred in her heart and only thinks about revenge. Such a person is not suitable to stay here. around you."
"Although Dongqing's experience is pitiful, we can give her appropriate help, but we can't let her get involved for no reason. You want to change your sincerity, but everyone's growth environment is different, and some people are bound to part ways. ”
Listening to grandma's explanation, Yaya's eyes were slightly red, and she threw herself into Baiyunxi's arms.
"Grandma, I understand."
Dongqing was a maid bought by her grandma, but she never regarded Dongqing as a human being, and always regarded her as her best friend.
She used her own pocket money to buy scar removal cream for Dongqing, thinking that after a year or so, the scars on her face would disappear, and she would be able to live a normal life and no longer have to walk with her head down.
In fact, she did not oppose her revenge, but her status was here, and no matter what she did, it would implicate the Bai family.
She saw how difficult it was for her family along the way, and naturally she could not make things difficult for her grandmother because of Dongqing.
If it weren't for the fact that her grandmother happened to see Dongqing's behavior today, they would still be kept in the dark.
No matter how reluctant she was, she would not ask to stay, this was her bottom line as a descendant of the Bai family.
Listening to the eldest granddaughter's voice, Bai Yunxi hugged her in her arms and patted her gently, "Good child, all good things must come to an end, just be clear in your conscience."
After sending Yaya away, Wenyou came in,
"Aunt Bai, how do you arrange for that girl?"
"Send her out of the city early tomorrow morning and temporarily settle her in the orchard. Let's talk about it after the Tao family's affairs are settled."
For now, it is not suitable to let them fend for themselves.
"Okay, I'll have someone keep an eye on her."
After things were settled, Bai Yunxi went to bed.
The next day, Wen You came back just after breakfast, and the people had been sent out of the city.
In the morning, the shopping maid came back to report that the Jingzhao Prefecture had been dispatched again and half of the street was closed, saying that it was to deal with the stampede incident at the Lantern Festival yesterday.
