Chapter 117 Jane's Fall
The doctor nodded to Qi Shilang, "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best."

Until the doctor left, Qin Yurong and Chanjuan were still sitting outside.

"Come here." Qi Shilang shouted.

Yu Cai hurried forward, "My lord, what can I order?"

Qi Shilang pointed to the two master and servant on the ground beside him, and said angrily, "Pull these two people out to me, and take care of them."

"Yes, my lord."

So Yu Cai recruited a servant and dragged the two people on the ground out of the courtyard.

Wang Liuying was still in the room with Zhen'er, maybe she was tired from crying, and Zhen'er had already fallen asleep, but there was a thick gauze wrapped around her forehead, Wang Liuying looked at it and shed tears.

"My lord." She flung herself into Qi Shilang's arms, expressing her pain and grievances, "The eldest lady came to my room early this morning and yelled at me, Dongyun couldn't listen to what she said, and asked Chanjuan to knock her down to the ground , I didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that it would be fine if the eldest lady vented her anger."

Speaking of which, Wang Liuying cried even louder, "How could she know that she would attack Zhen'er, our Zhen'er is so young, how could Da Furen have the heart to do so."

Wang Liuying's words only deepened Qi Shilang's disgust towards Qin Yurong, he said, "This vicious woman, if I don't teach her a lesson today, she will ride on my head tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Qi Shilang got up and walked out angrily.

When Shen Tu heard that Zhen'er had fallen, he rushed over immediately, and happened to bump into the furious Qi Shilang.

She stopped, stood sideways, and called out, "Daddy."

Qi Shilang didn't stop to pay attention to her, and his steps didn't slow down but became faster.

After Qi Shilang walked away, Qi Qiao dared to ask, "Miss, what's wrong with your lord?"

Shen Cu didn't know, but Qi Shilang could understand why he was angry today. After all, he was a dumb man who ate Coptis chinensis, and couldn't tell what he was suffering about.

When Shen Tu left, Wang Liuying wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Auntie, how is Zhen'er?"

Wang Liuying shook her head, afraid of waking Zhen'er, she lowered her voice, "The doctor said there is nothing serious, but the forehead was broken and left blood."

Shen Tu only knew that Zhen'er had fallen, so he asked, "How did Zhen'er do this?"

Before Wang Liuying could open her mouth, Dong Yun said, "It's the eldest lady, she snatched Zhen'er from the wet nurse, but the wet nurse protected Zhen'er, and Zhen'er fell to the ground."

Shen Tu didn't understand, "What is the eldest lady doing to snatch Zhen'er so well?"

Wang Liuying shook her head, "I don't know where I offended Da Furen today, but she came to me early in the morning, calling me a vixen, and talking right and wrong about her in Sir's ears."

Wang Liuying was very wronged, "I have never said a bad word to Da Furen in Sir's ear."

Shen Cu also knew that the grievances between the two were deep. Although she was closer to Wang Liuying, she didn't want to get into the muddy water between the two.So she didn't answer about Qin Yurong, and just said, "It's good that Zhen'er has nothing to do."

Qin Yurong was punished by Qi Shilang not to eat for three days because of robbing Zhener and causing Zhener to break her forehead. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be punished together with him.

No one dared to disobey Qi Shilang's order, not even to intercede.

Chanjuan would secretly bring some food, and complained that Mrs. Qi Shilang still had a child in her belly, how could she be hungry for three days.

"I'll go and tell the young lady." Chanjuan said indignantly, "Let the young lady come back and tell the lord that Madam is pregnant, how can she go hungry for three days."

"Don't tell Yu'er." Qin Yurong stopped her, "Yu'er is already in a difficult situation in the Duke's Mansion, so don't trouble her anymore."

Last time, Qi Yu sent someone to bring news that Hu Meizi was pregnant, but now in Xuan Guogong's mansion, the concubine is like the main wife, Hu Meizi relies on Xuanyan's favor, and she is pregnant again, so she wants to marry her in the mansion. The wind makes the wind, and the rain makes the rain, so I am not proud.

Qi Yu said that she couldn't let Hu Meizi snatch her title of concubine again, let alone let Hu Meizi snatch Chun'er along with her.

Chanjuan cried and nodded, "I'm not going to talk to the eldest lady, Madam, hurry up and eat while it's hot, don't starve yourself and the baby in your stomach."

The food that Chanjuan brought was for the servants to eat. It was not as good as Qin Yurong's usual food, and it could only fill his stomach.

Qin Yurong was used to good food and dishes, and the servants' food was hard to swallow, but she still ate all the food Chanjuan brought.

Not knowing whether it was because she was in a hurry or the food was too hard, she pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "Water, water,"

Chanjuan hurried to pour water for her again.

Three days later, Yu Cai came.

Yu Cai conveyed Qi Shilang's words to Qin Yurong, and from now on, Aunt Wang will decide all matters in the Shilang's residence.

As soon as Yu Cai's words came out, Qin Yurong fell to the ground.

Chanjuan was also stunned, she couldn't believe what she heard.

But Qi Shilang is serious, Wang Liuying is still a concubine, nothing has changed, but everything has changed.

Shen Cu's monthly allowance became the same as Qi Yue's, and he even added a few more clothes.

The day when the rankings were released soon arrived, and as expected, Xiao Shilian won the Jinshi.

On the day when the list was announced, Shen Tu also went, and she saw the word Xiao Shilian at a glance, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The Xiao family was even more overjoyed, Mrs. Xiao shed tears of joy.

On the same day, Xiao Shengyuan also returned to the residence.

The Xiao family was finally reunited.

"Father, what's going on?" Xiao Shili asked urgently, "Who framed father and King Pingnan?"

Mrs. Xiao said from the side, "Let your father have a sip of hot tea before talking."

Xiao Shengyuan listened to his wife's words, drank the tea in the cup, and said, "This time, besides me and King Pingnan, there is another person involved in the crime of treason."

Xiao Shili asked, "Who?"

"The First Prince."

"Elder Prince?"

Xiao Shengyuan nodded, "Now the court is arguing endlessly about the establishment of the crown prince, whether to establish the chief or to establish the virtuous, this is the point of contention."

Xiao Shili asked again, "What does father have to do with this matter?"

"Although I am impartial and non-partisan, I still belong to the Lichang faction."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shili and Xiao Shilian both understood.

"If the emperor believes that his father is in collusion with King Pingnan and the eldest prince, intending to rebel, not to mention the position of the crown prince, the life of the eldest prince may be in danger."

"Who on earth is so cruel and vicious?" Xiao Shiyi said bitterly.

"They forged the correspondence between me and King Pingnan intending to rebel, and the eldest prince was also mentioned in the letter." Xiao Shengyuan still feels terrible when he thinks about it now. The words on the letter are exactly the same as those written by him, as if they belonged to the same person hand.

"Did the emperor imprison father in the palace because he believed it?" Xiao Shiyi asked again.

"The emperor didn't believe it." Xiao Shilian who had been silent all this time said.

"Brother, how do you know that the emperor doesn't believe it?" Xiao Shiyi moved his eyes to Xiao Shilian's face on his right, "Father has been dismissed and locked up in the palace."
