Chapter 30: The Toxic Mother and Daughter

  Xian Fei felt stifled at this time, but Qing Guifei really didnt wrong her, and she was even a little puzzled. At first, she really didnt think it would turn out like this.

  She just wanted to find some trouble with Qianjiu and Qinggui, but it was they who provoked her, making things turn out this way. But if you say that shes in the wrong, then she really isnt.

  "Your Majesty, I was wrong, but..."

  The empresss words had not finished, when the emperor spoke up: "You also know you were wrong, actually where is it necessary to be so troublesome? You are not Xiawangfei but a illiterate concubine-born daughter."

  "Xiao Wangfei, go write a few characters for Xian Wangfei to see. If you cant even write them out, then youre just an illiterate concubine-born girl."

  The emperor didnt say anything else, but everyone understood that if she could write it out, Qianjiu would definitely be the legitimate daughter of the Qian family.

  So Xianfeis words today are actually wronged, but its unknown how the emperor will judge this matter.

  Eunuchs quickly brought paper and brush, and handed them over: "Xiao Wangfei, please write."

  Qianjiu looked at the thing in front of her and then glanced at the emperor: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to write?"

  The emperor thought for a moment: "Just write a poem casually."

  Qianjiu thought for a moment, then began to write. The strokes were extremely clear, and the characters that emerged were beautiful examples of running script.

  The emperor couldnt help but nod his head in approval, and what Qianjiu wrote wasnt a poem or lyrics, but the Four Gentlemen Decoction from the Tang Dynastys songs.

  "Si Junzi Tang harmonizes the meaning, with Shen, Fu Ling, Gan Cao in equal proportions; supplemented by Xie Bai and Chen Pi, named Liu Junzi, to eliminate phlegm and tonify Qi for Yang deficiency; except for Ban Xia, named Yi Gong or added with Xiang Sha for stomach cold."

  After writing this, Qianjiu put down his pen, and the Emperor looked at Xianfei: "Look, this was written in front of you. Do you want Xiawangfei to read it out loud?"

  Actually, just by looking at Wang Feis pen posture, I knew that she must be someone who uses a pen frequently, so Qianjiu really can read.

  Xian Fei couldnt help but glare at Qian Furen, confirming in her heart that she had been deceived by Qian Furen. She looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

  "I wont dare again, Your Majesty."

  Looking at Xianfei like this, the Emperor coldly snorted: "Since you know youre wrong, thats good. Empress, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

  The empress glanced at Qianjiujiu: "Since the Xiao Wangfei was wronged today, let Xianfei compensate. Also, Xianfei will be locked in the palace for a month, copying scriptures and cultivating her nature, which is not bad either."

  His Majesty nodded and looked at Qianjiu: "Xiaowangfei, what do you think of this punishment?"

  Qianjiu said naturally without any opinion: "The daughter-in-law naturally has no opinion, whatever the empress says is what it is."

  The queen nodded in satisfaction: "Since thats the case, lets disperse then. The palace is also a bit tired, lets go."

  The emperor looked at the empress with a worried face, then glanced at everyone else: "You all disperse, Ill stay behind."

  The queen smiled warmly: "I thank Your Majesty for your concern, but since the King of Xiao and Queen of Xiao have both come to the palace today, why dont you go to Qings side and reunite with her as well?"

  "I think that Empress Xiang is also good, go."

  His Majesty furrowed his brow: "In that case, you take a good rest, Ill leave first."

  The emperor also walked out, and at this time Qianjiu had already pushed Mu Ye Xiao to follow Qing Gui Fei towards Qing Gui Feis palace.

  Qianjias mother and daughter were sent out of the palace, and when they returned to the Qian family home, Qian Yuge smashed things in one room. Madame Qian heard the commotion and went over to take a look.

  "Yuge, whats going on here?"

  Qianyu Songs face was filled with anger as she looked at Madame Qian: "Mother, are you still asking me whats going on? Who said that, taking advantage of today being Qianjius first day in the palace and her not understanding anything, we also entered the palace."

  "In front of all these ladies, I and Qianjiu stand together, people can naturally see who is better, but what about today?"

  "Today I was on my knees from start to finish, and didnt dare get up. But Qianjiu was showing off in front of the emperor, now everyone believes him."

  "The one who married King Xiao was the number one talented woman in Kyoto. Mother, you are my mother, but after Qianjiu returned, whats left for me?"

  "The status of being the eldest daughter of a noble family is gone, I am no longer the number one beauty in Kyoto, nor am I the number one talented woman. I am nothing, I am just a niece from the Shangshu Mansion."

  Qian Fu Ren looked at Qian Jiuyi with an expression of disbelief that he could write, and then turned to Qian Yuge: "Yuge, theres something wrong with this matter, listen to me."

  "Youre my own daughter, Ill definitely help you. That Qianjiu is really suspicious, now Im wondering if shes really Qianjiu?"

  Qianyu Song snorted: "Is she Qianjiu or not, cant you just ask Yuanniang to know? After all, she was raised by Yuanniang, whether Qianjiu can write or not, Yuanniang must be very clear."

  Yes, Madam Qian suddenly realized that Qianjiu left the Qian family, but Yuanni was still there. These two women were dependent on each other and must have known each others secrets.

  "Daughter, youre so clever! Lets follow Mother and ask Aunt Wen, then well know!"

  The mother and daughter excitedly went into Wan Niangs courtyard, because at this moment, Wan Niang still had a role to play, which was to threaten Qianjiu, so for the time being, it could be said that they were living quite well.

  At least theres no danger to life now, and Mu Ye Xiang had also sent people into the yard early on, hiding in the dark to protect Wan Niang.

  Because Auntie Wan had been detoxified by Qianjiu, she hadnt lacked food or clothing for the past few days and seemed to have grown younger. When Qians mother and daughter came in, they saw this new Auntie Wan.

  Although she has been working hard all these years, Auntie Wan was originally very beautiful. When she was young, she was even more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in Kyoto, and it is still so now.

  Even without makeup, she still has the elegance of a middle-aged woman, and every time Madam Qian sees her, she feels a surge of jealousy.

  She was so angry that she wished she could paint flowers all over Madame Wans face. Just then, Madame Wan looked up and saw Qian Fu Ren and Qian Yu Ge.

  "Madam, young lady, how did you come here?"

  Qian Yu Ge saw Wan Niang and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, she rushed forward and gave Wan Niang a slap: "Its really relieving to hit you."

  "Madam, young lady, what has this servant done wrong?"

  "Qian Yu hummed: You also know youre a slave, what else have you done wrong? You living is an error, the biggest mistake is that Qian Jiujiu is a cheap person."

  "By the way, Auntie Wen, I have something to ask you, can you read?"

  Wan Niang was taken aback and looked at Qian Yu Ge: "What is the young lady talking about, how can a servant like me recognize characters..."

  The words had barely left her lips when Qianyu Ge slapped him again: "You dare to deceive me, come on, bring paper and pen, write for me. If you dont write it out, Miss will kill you today."

  Auntie Wan indeed knew how to write, but after all these years had passed, no one knew about this matter, and she herself was somewhat puzzled as to why she suddenly needed to write.

  A little maid on the side quickly brought over paper and pen: "Lady Wan, please write."

  Wan Niang took over the pen and looked at Qian Yu Ge: "I dont know what Miss wants me to write?"

  Qianyu Song snorted: "Qianjiujiu is a despicable person, Qianjiujiu will not die a good death."

  "Of course, I wont write it," said the maid, slowly putting down her brush. "I really cant write, Miss."

  Qians wife stood by and did nothing to stop it, but when she heard that Wan Niang said she couldnt write, she walked up and splashed the prepared ink onto Wan Niangs face.

  "You scoundrel, you dare to say you cant write. From the way you held your pen just now, I knew you could definitely write. You still want to deceive me, dont you? You just dont want to write, is that it?"

  "Come on, give me a mouthful, beat her until she writes."

  Wans mother-in-law looked at the Qian family mother and daughter in front of her with some horror, one was the mistress of the Qian family, and the other was the eldest young lady of the Qian family, yet they were so ruthless.

  Her eyes were trembling as she looked at the two of them, but Madame Wen didnt beg for mercy. She just lowered her head and stopped looking at the vicious mother-daughter pair.

  Qianyu Song was dissatisfied, looking at the maid beside her: "Beat her for me, beat her until shes willing to obey."

  The servant woman next to her walked up and pressed down on Yuanni, the servant woman slapped Yuannis face with great force and said: "Yuanni, youd better agree."

  "Otherwise, its still you who suffers, isnt writing two words a big deal?"

  Yuan Niang was angry in her heart, but it wasnt anything serious. She was just scolding her own daughter, and she would rather die than do something like that. So Yuan Niang simply shook her head.

  Jian jue bu xie, wan yi niang yue bu kan xie, qian yu ge jiu yue shi fen nuo: "fei hua na me duo zuo shen me, gei wo da."

  Translation:

  "Absolutely not writing, the more Aunt Wan doesnt look at it, the angrier Qian Yu Ge becomes: So much nonsense, whats the point of doing that, hit me."

  The woman had no choice but to continue hitting her, and the madam didnt say a word from start to finish. It wasnt until she had hit her over ten times that the woman finally stopped and looked at the madam.

  "Madam, if we continue like this, wont something go wrong? After all, she still has some use."

  This old woman is the confidante of Qian Furen, so its only natural that she hasnt been killed off until now, which is why she spoke up to remind Qian Furen.

  "Enough, no need to fight anymore. You few, grab her hand and write for me."

  At that moment, several maidservants pinned down Madame Wan, and a literate maidservant grabbed Madame Wans hand and began writing on paper: "Qianjiu is a vile person, Qianjiu will not die a good death."
