Glory all the way

Chapter 9
The weather gradually became hotter, Bai Yingluo couldn't sleep well at night, and woke up earlier in the morning.

Walking in the pear forest, seeing the tender green leaves swaying in the rising sun, Bai Yingluo took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked towards the direction she came from.

After walking a few steps, they ran into Bai Yingping who had stayed in the Hou Mansion the night before but hadn't returned yet.

"Morning, big sister..."

Seeing Bai Yingping walking with her maid from afar, Bai Yingluo greeted her.

"Didn't sleep well again?"

Seeing the dark circle around Bai Yingluo's eyes, Bai Yingping asked with pity.

Smiling, Bai Yingluo asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't Big Sister sleep for a while and get up so early?"

Kissing the tip of Bai Yingluo's nose affectionately, Bai Yingping smiled and said, "You will know when you get married. How can it be so easy to be a wife? I'm used to getting up earlier than chickens in the morning. I woke up when the time came, I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, I finally fell asleep, and it was time to get up again, so it's better not to sleep."

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingping blinked at Bai Yingluo, "So, while you're still at my daughter's house, eat whatever you want, and sleep whenever you want, but don't let yourself be wronged."

Can't help laughing, Bai Yingluo took Bai Yingping's arm affectionately, and the two took a walk in the forest.

Talking one after another, they even talked a lot about the interesting stories in other people's houses, but Bai Yingping didn't mention a word about what Xiangzhu heard from Zhao's mother yesterday.

Although Bai Yingluo couldn't bear to ask, but remembering the last sentence Chen Xiang said last night, she forcibly endured it.

"You and girl Yun have been arguing since you were young, and now you are both big girls, but they still don't stop. The old lady made a lot of troubles with you yesterday."

Putting her hands on the tree trunk, Bai Yingping squinted her eyes and looked at the half-headed sun in the distance, then turned her head to look at Bai Yingluo and said.

"Let grandma bother..."

Some self-blame muttered, but Bai Yingluo didn't say any more.

Bai Yingping on the side shook her head helplessly, stretched out her hand and poked her finger on Bai Yingluo's forehead and said, "Damn girl, do you think I'm here to scold you?"

"Is not it?"

Bai Yingluo raised her eyes and gave Bai Yingping a sideways glance.

Among the sisters, Bai Yingluo's favorite is Bai Yingping.

Bai Yingping is the proud daughter of heaven. When she was born, the Hou Mansion was at its most glorious time. It was also that year when her father Bai Shizhong was conferred the title of Prince Jing'an. Therefore, Bai Yingping was placed in the palms of Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Xue since she was a child. I grew up with care.

Eating the best cakes, wearing the best dresses, wearing the most beautiful jewelry, and being the eldest daughter of the first wife, Bai Yingping is very dignified among the sisters.

The ladies in the Hou Mansion, the direct sisters envied her, the concubine sisters respected her, and she herself was docile and well-behaved, so Bai Yingping grew up smoothly and got married.

When Bai Yingluo was young, among her sisters of the same age, the third and fourth sisters were concubines, and the fifth sister was Bai Yingyun who bullied her the most, so Bai Yingluo often followed Bai Yingping, and Bai Yingping also liked this girl who looked like her very much. The little Liumei is as cute as a blessing doll.

Because of this, when Bai Yingyun bullied Bai Yingluo when she was young, Bai Yingping would stand up and teach her a lesson.

Just like at this moment, the two sisters were talking irrelevant words, but Bai Yingping's eyes and brows were full of concern.

"These years, you have been living with your second wife. On the surface, you look glamorous, but inside, you probably know better than anyone else. When you were young in the past, it didn't matter if your sisters were joking around. You can Finally, you should pay more attention to yourself, don't turn around and be bullied and don't know how to fight back."

Bai Yingping said softly.

It seemed as if the rising sun shone warmly on her body, and Bai Yingluo's heart also warmed up. She raised her head and smiled at Bai Yingping, who nodded gently.

"Let me ask you, who is your biggest reliance in this mansion now?"

Seeing that Bai Yingluo's attitude was somewhat perfunctory, Bai Yingping twisted her ear angrily.

"Is... grandma?"

Not understanding what Bai Yingping meant by asking this question, Bai Yingluo guessed and answered.

"Fool……"

Rebuking in a low voice, Bai Yingping said softly, "Of course it's my third uncle who left early, your father."

Hearing this, Bai Yingluo's complexion darkened.

The two walked in the woods for a while in silence, and saw that they had already returned to the edge of the ridge.

Stopping, Bai Yingping looked directly into Bai Yingluo's eyes, and said earnestly: "In the past, I was only as good as my sister to my sister, and I never thought of anything else. But I didn't know until I got married. It's not easy, if you have no support, no one will take you seriously. Luo'er, take a long-term view and see things that others can't see, so don't keep getting angry with girl Yun, those, It's not worth it, you know? Now, only your third uncle and grandmother are your biggest reliance. Once you marry someone, you will belong to someone else's family. If there is any grievance at that time, you will cry to death on the third uncle In front of the memorial tablet, no one will come to take pity on you."

These words can be regarded as heart-to-heart, Bai Yingluo only felt that the old clothes in coarse cloth appeared in front of her, but she happily whispered in her ear: "Luo Niang, my sister pulled three feet of flowers from the market. Cloth, I’ll make you a new coat later,” the elder sister of the farmer.

"Big sister, I remember."

Sucking her nose, Bai Yingluo lowered her head, hiding her sentimental feelings of missing her relatives in her previous life.

Nodding silently, Bai Yingping took Bai Yingluo's hand and walked forward with the maid.

"After breakfast, I'll go back. You should pay more attention to yourself. Also, if you feel unwell, take your medicine on time. Don't wait until autumn arrives. A gust of wind can blow you away."

Said jokingly, to ease the heavy atmosphere just now, Bai Yingping patted Bai Yingluo's face, turned around and left.

Bai Yingluo returned to Yi'an Pavilion with a dull expression, but her heart became more and more nervous.

Something must have happened, otherwise, Bai Yingping wouldn't go out of her way to talk so much to herself. Could it be that the Zhongyonghou's mansion is imminent to celebrate the son, and Mrs. Beining has already fallen in love with her and told Mrs. Zhongyonghou?

Thinking over and over again, Bai Yingluo became more and more uncertain, but such a thing, no one else said it, and she was a Yunying unmarried girl, so she couldn't take the initiative to ask.

How to do?What should I do?
Muttering to herself, Bai Yingluo couldn't calm down and went around in circles in the inner room.

Looking in the direction of the curtain, Bai Yingluo stopped abruptly.

Even she couldn't hold back anymore, if she were Bai Yingyun, what would she look like now?
Thinking about it in her heart, Bai Yingluo took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.

Guessing that the old lady Bai had already got up, Bai Yingluo went to Qing'an Hall with Tassel and Xiangzhu.

After breakfast, she snuggled up to the old lady Bai and talked for a while, then Bai Yingping got up and went back home. Seeing her looking at her with concern before leaving, Bai Yingluo gave her a sweet smile.

Turning around, she was looking at Bai Yingyun with a probing look on her face.

After five months, not only the Jing'an Hou Mansion, but even the streets outside became warm, and there seemed to be a quiet fragrance of zong leaves floating in the sky.

Vaguely hearing a loud commotion in the Yunshui Pavilion separated by a wall, Bai Yingluo's heart moved, she raised her voice to call Liuying, and whispered a few words.

The movement of Yunshui Pavilion finally reached the Second Madam.

Looking at Bai Yingyun with a distraught expression on her face, the second lady asked coldly: "Your aunt has been investigating the matter of Zi Wenpei in the house for several days, but there is still no news. The rain made the Yunshui Pavilion restless, do you really think your aunt won't clean you up?"

"Mom, I...I..."

After stammering for a long time without saying a word, Bai Yingyun's eyes were already full of tears.

"what happened?"

The second lady suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"Mother, I haven't lost that purple patterned pendant."

With her head lowered, Bai Yingyun whispered.

"What did you say?"

After raising her voice, she seemed to realize that something was wrong. The second lady raised her eyes and glanced at the maidservants in the room. Seeing that they all lowered their heads holding their breath, the second lady glared at her daughter angrily. She went into the back room.

"what happened?"

Thinking of that day when Bai Yingluo ran over with a pale face and said to herself that the purple pattern pendant given to her by Madam Beining was missing, and she suspected that Bai Yingluo sent a little maid in the yard to steal it. She cursed Bai Yingluo secretly in her heart.

After that, the next series of things happened.

Now, everyone in the entire family is looking for the purple pattern pendant, but Bai Yingyun said that the purple pattern pendant was not lost, so how could she explain it to Mrs. Xue?
Said it was Bai Yingyun who put it in the wrong place and misunderstood Bai Yingluo?Or did you say that you found it with all your hands and eyes?

Knowing that it was her daughter who plotted against Bai Yingluo again and instead put herself into such a situation, the second wife raised her hand and ruthlessly gouged out Bai Yingyun's finger, "I have been studying in boudoir school for several years, and you haven't made any progress at all. , what do I see you do this time?"

"Mother, I don't want that purple-patterned pendant any more. Mrs. Bei Ningbo likes Liu Yatou, so just give it to her. I don't want it anymore..."

Speaking in a crying voice, Bai Yingyun held her mother's arm and shook it, taking advantage of the tears on her face, she looked even more pitiful.

Ever since Bai Yingping left, the servants in the mansion have been spreading rumors that Mrs. Beining was dragged by Mrs. Zhongyonghou to find a happy bride for her son who was about to die of illness.

At this moment, thinking of the purple pattern pendant sent by Mrs. Beining a few days ago, the second lady has been feeling uneasy for several days.

Now that Bai Yingyun was crying so miserably, the second lady's heart became more and more confused.

But if people don't talk about such things, it's not easy for her to ask.

Pursing her lips and thinking about it for a long time, the second lady wiped her daughter's tears with a handkerchief, and coaxed softly: "You, you just can't hold your breath, go back to the house to rest, mother, your aunt Let's inquire there, and when the news is confirmed, we will find a way, understand?"

"Mom, don't go..."

Seeing that her mother was about to get up, Bai Yingyun pulled her sleeves anxiously, "Mother, my eldest sister has told the sixth girl about this, but she didn't tell me. Mother, my eldest sister must have done it on purpose, and my aunt must have done it on purpose." I know, and I won’t tell you the truth.”
