The servant of the palace gave the orders, walked up with cold water, and said Qingning faintly:

"How can you not finish listening to Grand Empress Dowager's words? You must be punished for your disrespect!"

The eyes of the person who fainted on the ground twitched, and a bucket of cold water splashed onto his face mercilessly.

Lu Mengyan clenched her trembling teeth, pretending to wake up from the cold water.

Qingning raised an arc as he watched Miss Lu turn from a beautiful woman to a bewitched and battered one.

Do you really think that everyone in this world wants to give you something just because you have some looks?

If you dare to offend me, I will show you!

Grand Empress Dowager instructed the palace servants to arrange for the young masters and mistresses to rest in the other palace for the night.

Imperial Noble Consort Xie took the opportunity to speak a few words of praise, the other consorts also agreed that it was not appropriate to punish Yun Yun seriously on the day of his birthday.

In the end, Lu Mengyan was so scared that he was half dead. He knelt on the spot and no one cared about him.

The next day, all the girls woke up early and went home.

Only the leisurely Qingning was left at the door of his room, squinting his phoenix eyes as he watched the sunlight reflect off the roof.

"Miss, Eldest Miss and the rest of them went back before dawn. Should we …" Zhinuan asked as he packed his things.

"Don't worry, if she has the face to say it, I'm afraid no one in Lu Family would be willing to listen to such an unfortunate thing!"

What kind of person is Lu Lianghua? When it's useful, he would like nothing more than to hold you in his hands and if he's useless, the first one to kick you away would also be him.

It was good for Lu Mengyan to see the true face of this so-called father, so as to avoid thinking that he had some sort of use.

She also didn't need to spend too much effort to suppress this little white flower like elder sister Shu.

Only until late in the morning did Qingning bring Zhinuan back to the Lu's Mansion.

Just as he stepped out of the carriage, he was stopped by the furious Lu Lianghua, "My daughter, you still know how to come back!"

People were passing by on the street, and many of them stopped to look at the source of the voice.

The curtain on the carved carriage was rolled up.

Qingning, who was dressed in plain clothes, leaped down, and gently and coincidentally stood in front of the Lu's Mansion door.

Her oval face was covered in makeup, and her phoenix eyes were filled with limitless elegance as they met the light.

The bright peach blossoms on the right side of her forehead added to the beauty of the young girl, Hibiscus Mutabilis. For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"Let me ask you, who is the evil girl?"

Qingning coldly repeated himself, and only then did Lu Lianghua recover from his shock and calm down a little before asking, "Your face … What happened to your face? "

She also found it strange at first, that the mark added on her forehead by that great disaster seemed to be born in her forehead.

Only when he washed up last night did he realize that no matter if it was using a water bath or a handkerchief to wipe his face, there was not a single trace of it fading away.

Or did Zhinuan say that this could be the legendary thousand year old ink that would never melt even if it encountered water.

When she thought about it, she felt a chill run down her spine. Why did she seem to be bewitched and involuntarily walked over?

It would most likely make her puke blood. It was one thing to not look good at first, but it was another to look ugly at the day after tomorrow.

Qingning cleared her mind, which had already travelled extremely far, and frowned: "I asked you first!"

The crowd was already in a sparse discussion, about the peerless beauty of this girl.

Someone suddenly cried out in alarm:

"This... Isn't this the Second Miss of the Lu Family?! "

Immediately, a burst of cold gasps could be heard.

Only then did Lu Lianghua realize that it was easy to lose face among the people outside, he kept his complicated expression and said, "Let's go in first!"

Zhinuan called out worriedly from behind, "Miss …"

Qingning smiled indifferently, he didn't know what kind of surprise that good elder sister would give her.

In the main hall, the madame sat with an unsightly expression.

"This is great, just ask Second Miss to attend some peach blossom water feast. It's fine if there's no show of talent, and you even made Eldest Miss into a naked phoenix, this is really …"

Before Consort Li could finish speaking, he glanced towards the hall from the corner of his eyes and was suddenly stunned.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked over. The young lady by Lu Lianghua's side had a graceful figure, as though she was being blown by the wind. The sunlight shone down on her face, and it was as if her face was plated with a layer of golden light.

"Qing …" Qingning... "

The old mistress' voice was trembling, as if she was not sure if the person before her was the same granddaughter who had been looked down upon.

Qingning took a step forward and indifferently answered: "Grandmother, it's me!"

"Oh my god, how did your face become like this overnight!"

Consort Li shouted as he finally recovered from his shock.

Lu Mengyu who was beside her was already staring at her picturesque face in a daze, without any reaction.

"Is there any change?" Qingning's tone was shallow, and Feng Qingyun said indifferently: "Don't I always look like this?"

It was just a slight change, but it felt like she had been reborn.

However, she did not care much about her appearance, so her entire body's aura remained the same. This caused her to give off a calm and unperturbed air.

In fact, it was no wonder that the Consort Li had such a huge reaction. When she wasn't good-looking, they had a reason to balance their birth.

Once the young miss of the Lu Family has gotten her beauty, then the remaining young miss would not have a good way out.

"Since Second Miss is back, shouldn't we properly explain what happened at the Peach Blossom Flowing Water Banquet?!"

In the end, Lady Lin who rushed over in a hurry did not have good intentions.

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd's astounding looks suddenly became inexplicable.

"Explain?" Qingning turned around and swept her eyes across him, "What kind of explanation do you want? You are only a concubine with Lu Family. What qualifications do you have to ask me for an explanation! "

Lady Lin's face turned from red to white, he instantly knelt down and sobbed, "Master! Old madam! The lowly concubine knew that she was born into the coldest family and didn't dare to grow up in the Second Miss, but the Yan Er … Yan Er is also the miss of Lu Family, it's fine if Second Miss doesn't want to bring her along when she goes to the banquet, but she's your big sister after all, how can you blame all of this on her! "

Lady Lin cried halfway, suddenly he felt that what he said was not right, and immediately changed his words: "Although Yan Er is your sister, it is normal for me to shoulder some of the blame, but how can Second Miss leave your sister on the mountain like nothing happened …"

The sobbing continued without end, as if it had been going on for three days.

Lu Lianghua interrupted her, "Tell me yourself, what exactly did you do there? How did you make your sister become like this!"

Originally, it was certain that Lu Family's daughter would marry into the Prince Pingyang Palace.

Who knew that it was because of his own daughter? Lu Lianghua was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Why didn't Big Sis tell you guys? Did she use cinnabar inscriptions at the Peach Blossom Banquet that almost ruined Imperial Consort Shu Han?" Qingning said with a face full of shock, "Grand Empress Dowager only made her kneel for an entire night, it is already a great fortune that she did not vent her anger on our Lu Family. Father still wants me to do something more to make the banquet even more lively? It's a pity that Father didn't inform me earlier! "
