Chapter 132 Xiao 7's Revenge
Chapter 132 Xiao 7's Revenge
Bai Xiyue was confused and looked extremely ugly.
She didn't believe what her mother said, and even thought it was an excuse for her mother not to use the money to trick her.
But my mother has always favored me and always granted my requests.
She asked in confusion: "With so many guards in the mansion, how could the storehouse be robbed?"
Madam Bai sighed, feeling worried: "For some reason, the thief seemed to have special abilities. He stole everything in the warehouse without making any noise in broad daylight.
This matter has also puzzled my mother. The Jingzhao Yin came to investigate but found no clues.
"But we have so many shops in our mansion, and it also brings in a lot of income every month."
"Xiyue, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. The income from those shops is only enough to cover the expenses of the mansion.
Your father used to go out for social events frequently, but he has seldom gone out in the past few months.
Xiyue, it's not that mother is stingy, it's just that the mansion really can't come up with that much silver. The most we can come up with is nine hundred taels, and we have to scrape together everything."
Bai Xiyue was at a loss for a moment, "What should I do? What should I do?
Mother, I don’t want to be like Aunt Feng, who has no children all her life and is called a hen that can’t lay eggs.
Aunt Feng in the mansion also became like this after drinking the sterilization soup given by my mother. I don’t want to be like her.” After saying this, she began to sob.
Mrs. Bai's face immediately turned cold: "How can you make up such a story about my mother? She has never done such a thing."
She was a little scared. If Minister Bai knew about this, knowing that the person he loved so much had been harmed by her, he would definitely take back her power as the head of the family, or even divorce her.
"Xiyue, Aunt Feng just had an unexpected premature birth. She was injured and can't get pregnant."
"Mother, please don't deceive yourself. This is the conversation I heard with your nurse. You don't have to deny it."
A maid outside the door heard this and then walked out.
"That's all for your brother. If Concubine Feng gives birth to another son, she will fight for the Bai Mansion's property. Mother had no choice but to do this."
In Bai Xiyue's eyes, any explanation is not convincing. It is just an excuse to whitewash herself.
"Mother, I don't care about the affairs of the mansion. Now that my daughter has drunk the sterilization soup, what should I do with the 100,000 taels of silver?
Can you bear to see your daughter being called a hen that doesn't lay eggs and living alone all her life?"
Mrs. Bai felt a little sad when she heard this.
If this had happened a few months ago, she would have given the money without even blinking an eye, but now even the best cook cannot make a living without rice."
She looked sad.
Mrs. Bai thought for a while and said, "Xiyue, go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to find your grandmother and tell her about this.
She said her mother was struggling financially and would pay it back later.
Bai Xiyue felt a surge of hope in her heart: "Now that my aunt is in charge of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, will she give me so much money?"
"Although she is the housekeeper, she dare not disobey your grandmother's words. You can go."
"Yes, my daughter will go to her grandparents' house now."
After Bai Xiyue finished speaking, she took her maid and went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion in a carriage.
Just as she had thought before, her aunt didn't take out any money at all. It was her grandmother who took pity on her and took out 100,000 taels of silver notes from her own pocket.
Bai Xiyue finally let go of her worries and was full of hope for the future.
But she never expected that the money was useless. The ghost doctor cured other people's diseases but not hers.
Ye Qingyan has always been vindictive. If it weren't for her high martial arts skills, she would be the one without children, and Bai Xiyue would have to suffer the consequences.
…………
Ye Qingyan returned home, still feeling angry.
As the Empress Dowager, she actually gave herself a sterilizing drug.
This old woman's heart is so evil that she even worships Buddha, but her worship is in vain.
Before I knew it, night had fallen.
At the hour of Hai, Ye Qingyan changed into black clothes and teleported to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother had fallen asleep, and two candles were still burning in the room.
Aunt Gui picked up a long needle and moved the wick. The candle flame flickered a few times and became brighter.
Aunt Gui yawned and felt a little sleepy.
Another palace maid stood with her hands hanging down, closed her eyes for a moment, shook her head, and then opened them immediately.
Ye Qingyan curled the corner of her mouth, took out some powder and threw it out, and the old nanny and the palace maid were immediately knocked unconscious.
The Queen Mother also inhaled the drug and fell into an even deeper sleep.
Ye Qingyan came to the bedside and said, "Old lady, since you are devoted to practicing Buddhism, you should become an old nun."
She waved her hand and the Queen Mother lay on the ground.
She took out an electric hair clipper and started to work. "Swish, swish, swish..." In the blink of an eye, the empress dowager became bald.
Ye Qingyan also drew nine red dots on the top of her head with a red marker.
"You drugged me to make me infertile, and I'll make you speechless for the rest of your life."
After she finished muttering, she took out a mute pill, pinched the Queen Mother's nose, and put the pill directly into her mouth.
She looked outside. It was freezing cold. If she left the empress dowager outside overnight, she would definitely freeze to death. She gave up the idea.
Ye Qingyan threw the jewelry in the empress dowager's bedroom directly into the space.
She became playful again, took out a pen and water-based paint, and painted on the empress dowager's face, drawing left and right. In an instant, her face was painted into a black cat's face, and she also put on blue contact lenses for her.
Seeing the results of her labor, Ye Qingyan smiled with satisfaction.
She entered the space and went straight to the Queen Mother's small storeroom.
There were four young eunuchs and guards outside the hall.
One of the guards began to complain: "We are almost freezing to death keeping watch here, and we don't know when she will return to the temple."
"Stop talking now. If someone hears you, you'll definitely be beaten." Another eunuch advised.
Ye Qingyan listened and realized that this was because she was disgusted with the Queen Mother's return.
The door of the warehouse was locked. Ye Qingyan walked straight in and took out a flashlight to shine inside.
Although the Queen Mother has not been in the palace in recent years, she has accumulated a lot of wealth before.
She waved her hand and the warehouse was suddenly empty.
Ye Qingyan pursed her lips slightly, imagining how scared the empress dowager would be when she woke up tomorrow morning and saw her face.
When he found out that the warehouse had been robbed, he probably wanted to die.
She teleported back to her house...
…………
At midnight, it started snowing, and snowflakes were flying all over the sky.
By dawn, a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground.
Nanny Gui was the first to open her sleepy eyes. She felt pain all over her body. When she looked carefully, she found herself lying on the ground.
She was a little puzzled: he actually fell asleep, no wonder his waist and legs ached.
She stood up and saw the palace maid Lian'er lying on the ground and had not woken up yet. She had a bad feeling.
Nanny Gui looked at the bed. The light blue bed curtains were still covering it, and there was no movement inside.
She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the Queen Mother did not wake up.
She came to Lian'er's side and shook her arm without saying a word.
Lian'er couldn't resist her shaking and opened her eyes. She saw that she had fallen asleep and was so scared that she didn't know what to do.
"Madam, I, I..."
Aunt Gui looked at the bed and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Lian'er nodded in astonishment and slowly stood up.
