The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 9 An’s
"You..." Bai Yulang choked, but still lowered his voice, "You have no respect for your elders. I am your third brother!"

"Weren't you ashamed of me being your sister before? Now you remember that you are my third brother?" Bai Qianxi glanced at her with disdain, and didn't intend to pay attention to her and continued walking forward.

A trace of discomfort flashed across Bai Yulang's face. He had been to the first floor these two days, but the internal sales information would not be displayed to the public. Thinking of the scene that day, he always felt something was weird, so the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He thought about asking her, but he didn't expect to run into her climbing over the wall!

It was the first time he saw this cowardly, boring and timid sister doing such a thing, which made him even more conflicted.

While he was struggling, Bai Qianxi had already walked a distance away. He was startled and hurriedly chased after her, "Wait for me, you haven't answered my question yet."

Bai Qianxi heard his voice again and couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Are you sick? Where I go is none of your business. You should be caring about your good sister who is still lying in bed, not me!"

"I……"

"What do you mean by "you"? Don't follow me. If you continue, I'll hit you!" Bai Qianxi said while waving her fist.

After saying that, she strode forward and walked to her own yard.

The moment the gate was opened, bright lanterns illuminated the entire courtyard.

A lady sat in the middle of the yard, and a dozen servants lined up on both sides, standing quietly with lanterns in their hands.

"Kneel down!" A loud shout came from the woman's mouth.

When Bai Qianxi saw this person clearly, there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

Bai Yan had married two wives in total. The first wife was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in the imperial capital. The eldest, second and third sons of the Bai family were all hers, but she passed away when Bai Yulang was eight years old.

So Bai Yan promoted his concubine An Caihong to be his second wife, the current mistress of the house, Bai Qianyi's biological mother, and the woman in front of him!

But Bai Qianxi was the daughter of Bai Yan's concubine. She was brought into the Bai Mansion in Qingzhou when she was three years old.

When she was five years old, her mother died, and her appearance was disfigured in the same year.

Bai Qianxi regained her composure, folded her arms over her chest, and leaned lazily against the door. She sneered and spoke slowly, "It seems that I still have to go through a lot of difficulties before I can get back to my room!"

Bai Yulang, who followed over, saw Bai Qianxi standing by the door. He looked inside curiously and was stunned. "It's so late, why is my mother here?"

An didn't expect Bai Yulang to be there. His originally ferocious eyes became a little restrained, and then he spoke.

"Your fifth sister left the mansion the day before yesterday and hasn't returned since. I was worried about her so I came to see her! But I didn't expect her to come back so late!

This is so unruly. If it gets out, it will bring disgrace to our Bai family!

As a mother, even if I am reluctant today, I will definitely punish you severely..."

"You are such a good actor, aren't you tired?" Before An finished her words, Bai Qianxi's cold voice came out, which made her stunned.

Bai Qianxi continued, "I left two days ago. Did you send anyone to look for me?"

"…A girl is missing, how can we publicize it and look for her everywhere?" said An.

Seeing this, Bai Yulang pulled Bai Qianxi's arm and whispered, "No matter where you go, mother is doing this for your own good. Why don't you apologize quickly? Mother is kind and will not really punish you!"

Bai Qianxi immediately shook off his pull, looked at him as if he were an idiot, then turned around and continued, "If mother really cared about me, even if she didn't send anyone openly, she would at least have someone secretly go out to look for me, right?
It's just... there are only so many servants in the Bai Mansion, and you came to my courtyard late at night with so many people! In addition to the night watchers and the maids who take care of me on a daily basis, is there anyone else in the Bai Mansion who can be used to look for me? "

This statement was well-reasoned, which surprised Bai Yulang. He looked at An with a thoughtful look in his eyes. An received his gaze, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed across her face. She could only force herself to yell, "Evil girl! You don't take the initiative to admit your mistakes, but you learn to pull me up!

As a girl in the boudoir, not only do you have moral flaws, but you also talk back to your stepmother. I will definitely take good care of your temper!

Come, bring the whip! I will teach you the rules today! "

He said to ask someone to get the whip, but in fact the servant beside him had already prepared the whip in his hand, and he stepped forward immediately after hearing this.

Bai Yulang looked at the thumb-thick whip in the servant's hand and thought of the new and old scars on Bai Qianxi's back that day.

No matter how dumb you are, you can still think of something.

Although I was shocked at that time, my inherent perception was that she was not likable and had a perverse mind.

But he knew their conversation today very clearly. Even though it was inappropriate for her to come home late, An Shi never showed any concern. Instead, it seemed as if she came here with a purpose, and the same was true of the whip that had been prepared long ago!
The servant came forward, but Bai Qianxi just looked at him coldly, not caring at all.

It was not until Bai Yulang stood in front of her that she stood up straight in surprise.

"It is indeed wrong for Fifth Sister to come home late, but she is a girl after all, and she has injuries on her body. Isn't this punishment too severe?"

No one present expected Bai Yulang to show up, and everyone had different expressions for a moment. It was An who reacted first and spoke earnestly.

"Mother naturally knows what you are thinking, but now we are in the imperial capital, and you are almost at the age of marriage, so I have to take care of Wu Niang's temper! I am also doing this for her good! There is no room for negotiation on this punishment today!"

After An finished speaking, she winked at the servant beside her.

The servant understood and stepped forward again, and just as he was about to approach Bai Qianxi, he heard her sneer.

"That's a nice thing to say, but if you want to hit me, you have to see if you are qualified enough!"

After hearing this, An's face turned completely black, but Bai Qianxi did not give her a chance to speak and continued, "You and father have been together all day, I don't believe that father didn't tell you where I was these two days?
So...you brought so many people with you late at night. To put it bluntly, aren't you just trying to punish me and avenge your precious daughter? "

"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" An stood up in anger and shouted, "Your father did say you were going out, but he didn't say when you would be back! You came back in the middle of the night, who knows if you lied to your father, ran out to fool around, and did something to bring shame to the Bai family!"

"Haha...what? You're not going to act anymore? You should say now, 'You're lying, your father didn't tell me this, I didn't know!'

Saying this will also make your excuse for punishing me not so far-fetched! "

"you……"

"Mother, why are you doing this?" An was about to speak, but Bai Yulang spoke in disbelief, "Father had informed you in advance, and you punished her right away. Isn't that too much!"

"She asked for it!"

Bai Yulang listened and took a deep breath in surprise, "What do you mean you asked for it? Although she is not popular, she is still a girl after all, a lady of the Bai family. Aren't you afraid that your father will know if you do this?"

"......" Bai Qianxi felt a little bored watching the two people confronting each other, but suddenly heard his words and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What do you mean, she is not likable?
You are not likable, and you are blind!
She glared at him speechlessly, but was too lazy to care. She waved at them and said, "I'm tired. If you two want to talk, please go outside and don't disturb me!"
