Chapter 93 Protect Her or Me
Bai Rouyin reached out to close the window, turned around and said, "I feel a little unwell, I'll go back first."

"Okay." Yang Zhui personally helped Bai Rouyin onto the carriage and escorted her back home.

Tang Zhao watched the carriage drive away and turned back to the backyard.

Chunfeng was carefully cutting open the sleeves with scissors.

Qiu Yu covered her eyes in fear and sobbed.

Chunfeng wiped the blood with a clean cloth, revealing the shocking wound.

Tang Zhao made a prompt decision and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

Qiuyu was worried, "What will happen to the shop if the girl leaves?"

"Manager Meng will take care of it." Tang Zhao personally helped Qiuyu up, said something to Zhaohui, and then took the carriage back to the palace.

Zhaohui watched the princess' carriage leave, then turned around and jumped a few times to a remote alley.

Gu Ci frowned, "Why are you here?"

"The princess ordered me to inform the master that Miss Qiuyu is injured and urgently needs treatment from the palace doctor. The princess will return home first," Zhaohui said. "I have arranged for the guards to escort the princess back home in her carriage."

Gu Ci nodded reluctantly.

Chao Yi observed his master's expression and asked, "Master, what should we do with this servant from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion?"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Chao Yi said cautiously, "It's possible that Miss Bai made a mistake for a moment. Why don't you let the servant take the message back and ask Miss Bai to behave herself."

Gu Ci raised his eyes, "She didn't think wrong."

Chaoyi choked. He naturally knew that Miss Bai did it on purpose, but wouldn't saying this be adding fuel to the fire?
"What do you mean, Master?"

Gu Ci raised his hand and said, "Take him back and let the princess handle it."

The man in black carried the unconscious servant away quickly.

Chaoyi was shocked. She didn't expect that her master would not side with Miss Bai at all.

Gu Ci was worried about Tang Zhao, so he rode back to the palace on horseback. He was relieved only when he learned that Tang Zhao had returned safely.

In the Bidan Courtyard, the court doctor wrapped Qiuyu in gauze and said, "Apply the external medicine three times a day, and the internal medicine twice a day. I will prescribe a new prescription after the scab forms, and try my best to avoid leaving scars on you, girl."

Tang Zhao ordered Chunfeng to give a generous reward, and then he personally left as the court doctor. He sat beside Qiuyu and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely not let you have any scars."

Qiuyu nodded with tears in her eyes.

Nanny Song personally sent Qiuyu back to her room to rest. Gu Xuan curled her lips while copying books: She is just a servant. Looking at her posture, I might have thought that the master's daughter was injured.

Bai Zhi stood aside and watched quietly, her eyes full of envy.

When Gu Ci came in, he saw Tang Zhao leaning on the chaise longue with a bored look on her face, her whole body exuding the aura of "I'm in a bad mood, don't mess with me".

"The servant who incited people in Cikang Hall has been caught," Gu Ci ordered, and Chao Yi personally brought the person in. "It's up to you to deal with it."

Tang Zhao asked, "What about the person who pushed Qiuyu?"

Gu Ci: "There were too many people, jostling and pushing each other, and the guards couldn't tell them apart."

Tang Zhao snorted coldly, "He's lucky!" She glanced at the servant lying on the ground like a pile of mud, "It was you who ruined this princess's reputation?"

The servant dared to be rude in front of Qiuyu, a maid, but he dared not say a word in front of Tang Zhao, a princess, and could only kowtow and beg for mercy.

"I'm just asking you one question, and you answer honestly," Tang Zhaoming asked, lifting the servant's head and looking him in the eye. "Did you act on your own initiative to please the master, or did Bai Rouyin instruct you to do so?"

The servant gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Chao Yi exerted force on his hands, and suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his arms.

The servant held on for half an incense stick before he burst into tears and said, "I dare not deceive the princess. It was the eldest lady who ordered me to do it. Otherwise, even if I had the courage of a leopard, I would not dare to slander you!"

Tang Zhao waved his hand and said, "Throw him out."

Chao Yi was stunned and looked at Gu Ci.

Gu Ci nodded at him. Chao Yi picked up the servant and threw him onto the street outside the palace.

Gu Xuan stood up for Bai Rouyin and said, "This boy is from Sister Bai's side. Why did you arrest him?"

Tang Zhao said coldly, "Dongmei, accompany Miss Seven back to the woodshed to practice horse stance for an hour."

"Why?" Gu Xuan's eyes widened. "Fifth brother, Fifth brother saved me. Tang Zhao is clearly taking his anger out on me!"

Dongmei grabbed Gu Xuan's neck and dragged her away.

Gu Ci sat on the wooden bench opposite Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao thought of ways to deal with Bai Rouyin and said, "I thought my husband would release her secretly."

Gu Ci: "Everyone has their own responsibilities. I won't take sides with her."

Tang Zhao asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against her?"

Gu Ci: "If you can do it, you must bear the consequences."

Tang Zhao pressed on, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill her?"

Gu Ci raised his eyes to look at Tang Zhao and said firmly, "You won't."

It's not that she can't, but that she doesn't dare. Gu Ci has figured out her personality to a certain extent.

Tang Zhao smiled. "That's right, I won't. I'm not a murderer. I won't start a war over such a small matter."

"However, I warned Bai Rouyin last time, but instead of restraining herself, she became even more aggressive. If I don't teach her a lesson she'll never forget, she's probably not going to learn her lesson."

Tang Zhao looked at Gu Ci, "Will my husband protect her, or will he side with me?"

"Or, don't help either side?"

Gu Ci looked at her quietly for a moment, then looked away, stood up and left.

Tang Zhao, haha, what a bastard.

On the other side, the servant sneaked into the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis with the help of his parents.

Bai Rouyin met him in the servants' quarters. "You're saying that not only did you fail to successfully slander Tang Zhao and pin the blame on the Meng family, but you were also recognized by Madam Yang and your identity was exposed?"

The servant trembled with fear, "I am incompetent."

Bai Rouyin wanted to drag the man out and beat him to death, but when she saw the housekeeper Qian and his wife kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, she forced herself to hold back her anger.

"Butler Qian, Qian Duo can't stay in Lanzhou City for the time being. Send him to the farm to avoid the limelight."

Manager Qian only had one precious son, Qian Duo, so naturally he was reluctant to let him go. However, he knew in his heart that if the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery knew about this, the eldest daughter would only be scolded, but their whole family would be doomed.

"Don't worry, I won't let Mother get angry with you two."

Butler Qian kowtowed, "Thank you, Miss."

Butler Qian arranged some people and sent Qian Duo away from Lanzhou City overnight. He repeatedly told Qian Duo not to cause trouble again, and Qian Duo obediently agreed.

The next day, Bai Rouyin went to pay her respects to the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery took Bai Rouyin to have breakfast, and then reopened the warehouse with her to prepare to sort out the dowry again.

Although her precious daughter's marriage was not as glorious as one granted by the emperor, in other aspects, she could not lose to Princess Zhaoshan!
Bai Rouyin forced herself to appear happy.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Zhongyong Marquis’s mansion received a letter from the Zhongyong Marquis. After reading it, the Marquis’s wife was overjoyed and said, “Your father can come home to celebrate the New Year this year.”

Bai Rouyin hadn't seen her father for a long time and missed him a lot. She rarely smiled when she heard this.

"Prince Xuan even specially approved leave for your father, allowing him to return to the military camp after marrying you."

The smile on Bai Rouyin's face suddenly became ugly.

Bai Rouyin: I'm getting married, and the groom is not him.

Zhao Zhao: When you get married, I will give you a big gift.
