After hearing this, Li Shuyue could no longer maintain the expression on her face.

"You, were you punished by His Majesty? Or were you punished by some lady in the palace?"

Li Qingqian raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Seeing the look on my sister's face just now, I thought you would laugh at me. It seems that I misunderstood my sister?"

Li Shuyue didn't have the heart to argue with her, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Tell me, were you punished by His Majesty or by some other queen?"

Li Qingqian pretended to be puzzled and asked back: "Sister, why are you so anxious? Whether it is His Majesty or the ladies in the palace, they are all kind-hearted. No matter who punishes me, it will not implicate other people in the Li Mansion."

"That's different!" Li Shuyue retorted immediately.

If she was the daughter of a minister, she would be punished. His Majesty would not treat her equally with an unmarried girl. As long as it was not a heinous crime like deceiving the emperor, the other people in the Li Mansion would certainly be fine.

If it were just this, Li Shuyue could of course just stand by and watch, or even laugh at Li Qingqian as if it had nothing to do with her.

But when she marries Jiang Lin in the future, she will become the prince's consort, or even the future queen.

If Li Qingqian made any mistake and angered His Majesty's dragon beard, would His Majesty hate me as well?

Coupled with the humiliating thing Jiang Lin did today, Li Shuyue was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Qingqian kindly handed her a handkerchief and wiped her wounds perfunctorily. "Oh, it seems that your sister really cares about you. She was so distressed that she cried when she saw you injured."

As expected, these words immediately pushed Li Shuyue's anger to its peak.

She glared at Li Qingqian with eyes filled with anger and threw Li Qingqian's arm away. "Who cares about you? Don't be so self-indulgent!"

This sentence, neither light nor heavy, left a deep impression on Li Shuyue's heart.

I can't act like I'm on the same page as Li Qingqian now. If His Majesty really punishes her, I can't be the one to suffer the consequences!

Li Shuyue was thinking carefully in her mind that no matter what, the people in the Li family had to pave the way for her future as the mother of the country.

This good future that I have fought so hard for must not be destroyed in the hands of that little bitch Li Qingqian.

No, no, it seems that I still have to go and talk to my father. From now on, everyone in the Li family must cut off ties with Li Qingqian.

Thinking of this, Li Shuyue's eyes suddenly became firm, and she walked straight towards the gate of Jingying Residence.

Yun Yi heaved a sigh of relief, "The fourth girl is finally gone."

Li Qingqian didn't think so. She took the jade glass pot filled with ice from Yun Shang and gently applied it to the redness and swelling on her face. "It's not that easy. She will definitely be back soon."

After an incense stick of time, Li Shuyue returned to Jingyingju angrily, holding up her skirt. Both sides of her face were red and swollen, no less than Li Qingqian's before.

It’s easy to guess whose masterpiece this is.

Li Qingqian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Shuyue was so angry that she almost exploded. She rushed forward and threw the jade glass pot in her hand to the ground, "How dare you laugh? Why did you lie to me just now?"

"Cheated you?" Li Qingqian waved her hands at the girls around her in confusion, "What did I lie to her about?"

The girls all shook their heads.

Li Shuyue was ashamed and angry. "You told me that you made a mistake in the palace and were punished. But you were clearly punished by your father!"

Li Qingqian relaxed her neck, "Yes, then I said that I made a mistake in the palace and was punished. Was that wrong? I didn't say that I was punished by His Majesty. Why are you angry, Fourth Sister?"

Li Shuyue was blocked from saying a word and could only gasp for breath and stare at her with wide eyes.

Li Qingqian looked at the broken jade glass pot and sighed with some regret, "Fourth sister really has a childish temper. She is so old, but she always likes to throw things."

Yun Chang took over the conversation, a look of pain on her face, "The fourth young lady broke things twice in our Jingying Residence. The last time it was her favorite celadon bowl, and this time it was this priceless snow-heart jade colored glaze pot."

Li Shuyue was stunned. This was the legendary priceless Snow Heart Jade Glass? How could Li Qingqian use it to make this useless curling pot?

Just now she saw that this curling stone was as transparent as a mirror, very beautiful, and she knew at a glance that it was of great value.

She thought, how could such a good thing be used by Li Qingqian?

But he couldn't snatch it away. Li Qingqian's influence in front of his father was still there, and his grandmother was partial to her. If he tried to snatch it away, he would definitely suffer.

If you can't get it, just destroy it.

Li Shuyue smashed the curling stone in such a state of mind, but she didn't expect that it was actually Snow Heart Jade Glass!

Her face immediately showed the same painful expression as Yun Shang's. If she had snatched it as a dowry, it would have been very glorious and prestigious.

Yun Yan looked at her with unfathomable eyes and said, "Fourth Miss, we all know that you have been loved by the Madam since you were a child, so you must have seen all kinds of good things. Our girl is so pitiful. She lost her mother's protection since she was a child. Now she finally got such a good thing, and you want to destroy it?"

These words brought Li Shuyue back to her senses, and her greedy gaze shifted from the pile of broken jade pieces to Yun Yan.

"You dead cripple, you can't even sit still in a wheelchair! How dare you criticize the mistress? Today I must teach you what the rules and manners are!"

After saying that, he picked up a piece of jade from the broken pieces, walked forward and was about to smash it on Yunyan's knee.

Before she could even move her hand, Yun Yan's face turned grim, and the next moment, Li Shuyue was blown away by a powerful internal force.

Li Shuyue lay on the ground in a mess, looking at her with horror in her eyes.

At this time, Li Qingqian had also stood up and walked in front of her, looking at her as if she were a dead person, "Li Shuyue, who did you say was the dead cripple?"

Yun Yan's voice also came from behind, "Fourth Miss, although I am a maid in the Li Mansion, my indenture and household deeds are both with the old lady. Now that I have been assigned to work for the Third Miss, I must be loyal to the Third Miss first, and then to the Li Mansion. As for this action, I have no intention of offending you, but Fourth Miss..."

She suddenly smiled faintly, "As you said, I am a cripple and I treasure my legs the most. You won't make my injury worse, right?"

Then I really am being unreasonable! Li Shuyue was upset.

It turned out that she was not a maid selected from the public school at all.

Since the old lady is the one who pays for his support, it is only natural that he should obey her.

The old lady asked her to serve Li Qingqian, so she must protect Li Qingqian well.

If I were to punish her for this again, wouldn't I be accused of disrespecting an old lady?

Dawei attaches great importance to filial piety. If this were to get out, it would ruin her own reputation.

Li Shuyue suffered a loss and couldn't help thinking in her heart that it turned out that this girl named Yunyan who had been working for the old lady actually knew martial arts.

Even though his legs are lame, he still has such strong internal strength!

The more Li Shuyue thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. The more she thought about it, the more disgusting she found that old hag.

Such a good girl was actually given to Li Qingqian. Isn't there another one called Yunwu? The old woman was unwilling to give it to herself. She was really biased!

Li Qingqian squatted down, grabbed her chin and lifted it up, "When are you going to pay for the two things that Fourth Sister broke?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Shuyue's eyes, and then she was furious, "Why should I pay you money? Even if you give it to a dog, the dog won't want it!"

Li Qingqian stood up and said to Yunyi, "Hurry up and tell father that Li Shuyue called him a dog."

Yun Yi was about to leave, and Li Shuyue panicked when she saw this. She stopped lying on the ground and quickly stood up to stop her from going out.

Then he looked at Li Qingqian and shouted angrily: "When did I ever say that my father is a dog?"

Li Qingqian sneered, pointed at the pile of broken jade pieces on the ground and said, "I sent this ice pot to my father a few days ago, but my father said that since the betrothal gift from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has been used as my dowry, he, as a father, would not be greedy for his daughter's things, so he sent it back to me."

"Since Fourth Sister just said that even if I gave this thing to a dog, the dog wouldn't want it, isn't that just calling father a dog?"

As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, and said with a look of deep emotion: "I don't know what Fourth Sister is dissatisfied with Father for, but this kind of thing hurts the enemy a thousand times and hurts yourself eight hundred times. I kindly remind you that it's better to do less, otherwise it will implicate me and I will be scolded. If this gets out, how can our Li Mansion have a foothold in the capital in the future?"

"I don't!"

Li Shuyue finally saw clearly that she couldn't win the argument with her at all!

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, then opened his eyes again and said, "Tell me, how much do you want for these things?"
