The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 362: no reason
Chapter 362: Not Groundless
Tonight, the news came out that the Li family wanted to marry Gao Yi County Lady for their youngest son. Tomorrow morning, Li Mao will ask his wife to pass a sign to the Empress to ask for an audience…
He spread the news that his wife came to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage for his young son. If Bai Qingyan had no intention of looking for him, it would mean that… Bai Qingyan was just trying to scare him by holding the letters between him and the second prince.
Thinking of those letters, Li Mao couldn’t help but get a headache.
Back then, in order to gain the trust of the Second Prince, he accepted the request of the Second Prince’s advisers and exchanged letters with the Second Prince personally. In this way, both parties had the leverage over the other, so neither was afraid of betrayal.
Later, he instigated the Second Prince to abdicate, thinking that he could ascend to the throne overnight. But who knew… he still failed!
He searched the Second Prince’s mansion thoroughly, but did not find these letters. Now, these letters have become his weak point.
We still have to find a way to find and destroy those letters so that we don’t have to worry.

After practicing the Red Tassel Silver Spear, Bai Qingyan was sweating profusely and his whole body was soaked.
Chuntao helped Bai Qingyan in to take a shower and change clothes, and then wrung out Bai Qingyan’s hair. Seeing that Bai Qingyan was not going to rest and was sitting under the lamp reading a book, she quietly left and prepared to make tea for Bai Qingyan.
As soon as Chuntao left, a nimble figure jumped down from the beam. Bai Qingyan’s silhouette was reflected on the window lattice. The man walked quickly to the window, his back pressed against the wall, and said in a low voice, “I am here on the orders of the Second Miss to report to the master what is happening in the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion.”
The people who came were the secret guards assigned to Bai Qingyan by the Grand Princess. The secret guards followed Bai Qingyan’s orders and stayed by Bai Jinxiu’s side, allowing Bai Jinxiu to command them. However, in the secret guards’ hearts, only the person who held the token that commanded the secret guards was the real master.
Therefore, Bai Qingyan is called the master.
Bai Qingyan looked up, tightened his hand holding the spine of the book, raised his hand and gently pushed the wooden window open a little, and looked at the person who was speaking with calm pupils.
A ray of yellow light shone through the window and fell on the bluestone floor under the feet of the secret guard. The swaying light in the window made Bai Qingyan’s eyebrows flicker, and there was a sharp edge hidden in those calm eyes.
Seeing this, the secret guard knelt down and bowed, speaking quickly and lightly: “I am under the order of the Second Miss to lead people to guard the Zuo Xiang Mansion. The Second Miss once said that if there is any movement in the Zuo Xiang Mansion, let me report directly to the master. Tonight, more than 30 people from the Zuo Xiang Mansion left the mansion and went to the brothels and taverns in the capital, spreading rumors that the Zuo Xiang Mansion intends to marry Gao Yi County Lady for the Zuo Xiang’s young son, and they have not concealed their identities.”
She listened quietly, her expression did not change, but her eyes became more profound.
Is this Li Mao’s test?
Li Mao’s youngest son, Li Mingtang, is quite a character. He is also a playboy… but there is a difference between a playboy and a playboy!
There are some playboys like Lu Yuanpeng, who, although they get into trouble all the time, still act with propriety and a bottom line.
There are also beasts like Li Mingtang, who are obsessed with love between men and women, disregard human ethics, and even dare to touch Li Mao’s concubine.
Li Mao loved his youngest son very much. After the incident, he used a piece of white silk to kill the concubine and kept the matter secret.
But from then on, Li Mingtang indulged in prostitution and finally wanted to marry the third-rate prostitute in Nuanchunlou as his wife.
As Li Mao’s wife did not agree, Li Mingtang did not take the imperial examination. From then on, he made Nuanchun Tower his home and stayed there all day long. When he was in the mood, he would call other girls to sleep with him.
Although Li Mingtang never revealed his identity to the outside world, the third-class prostitute in Nuanchunlou couldn’t help showing off that the son of the left prime minister wanted to marry her as his wife.
Later, the Left Prime Minister secretly made a move to make the Nuanchun Tower disappear overnight, and all the prostitutes in the Nuanchun Tower also disappeared quietly from this world, and cleaned up the mess completely.
Although there is no substantial evidence or evidence in this matter, many noble families have heard of it. Who would not regard it as a joke?
Li Mao knew very well what kind of person the Zuo Xiang’s own son was, and he did this just to irritate her.
She slowly said, “I see. Go check which brothel the left prime minister’s youngest son, Li Mingtang, is in today.”
“yes!”
In an instant, the secret guard disappeared under the corridor window, as if he had never appeared.
Bai Qingyan withdrew his hand from the window frame, and his eyes fell on the military book in his hand, thinking carefully…
Li Mao deliberately let someone leak the news and did not conceal his identity, just to see how the Bai family would respond!
Li Mao was probably anxious to find out before she returned to Shuoyang whether these letters were in her hands, so he was so anxious and sent someone out to spread the news tonight.
Originally, Bai Qingyan thought that Li Maoyue would wait for her to return from Shuoyang before taking action.
Who knew that Li Mao liked to get up early so much, so she greeted Li Mao first.
Since Li Mao dared to set his sights on her fourth sister, she shouldn’t be blamed for being ruthless.
This way, he would know…the four words “she is safe and sound” are the greatest gift to him.
The morning light broke through the mist that shrouded the capital city, illuminating the green tiles and flying eaves all over the city.
The gate of Qinghui Courtyard was open. Bai Qingyan had finished her morning exercise and was standing beside the stone table in the courtyard. She took the towel handed to her by Chuntao to wipe her sweat while listening to Lupin telling her about the rumor that had suddenly spread like wildfire last night.
Rumor has it that the Left Prime Minister Li Mao wants to marry Princess Gaoyi to his youngest son.
“Early this morning, the wife of the Left Prime Minister has submitted a sign to the Empress to ask for mercy. I’m afraid she will be able to enter the palace at noon. If this is true, the wife of the Left Prime Minister must have gone to ask the Empress to grant a marriage between their youngest son and our fourth daughter.” Lupin said anxiously, “Although that Li Mingtang is the legitimate son of the Left Prime Minister, some rumors are not good! Although there is no evidence, it is definitely not groundless.”
She put down her handkerchief and took the cup that Chuntao handed to her. She drank a sip slowly before saying, “The left prime minister’s youngest son, Li Mingtang, is in Hua Man Lou. Uncle Ping, you personally lead people to find this Li Mingtang…”
She turned her head and looked at Lupin with cold and indifferent eyes: “Break his legs and wait for him on the road that the Left Prime Minister must take when he leaves the court. I will be there soon.”
Lupin was startled.
Break…break the legs?
“Miss, that’s… the son of the Left Prime Minister.” Lupin was a little shocked.
“I know, Uncle Ping, just do as I say. I know what’s going on.” Bai Qingyan’s gloomy eyes were restrained and deep, “Uncle Ping, remember to be ruthless… Even if you beat him to death, it doesn’t matter. The bigger the commotion, the better.”
A young son and the lives of the entire family. Bai Qingyan believed that… a snobbish person like Li Mao could distinguish between the important and the unimportant.
The young lady always knows how to act with propriety. Since the young lady asked him to break Li Mingtang’s legs, even if it meant beating him to death, then she would break his legs!
“Yes!” Lupin took the order and left.

It was early morning and the girls in Hua Man Lou were not awake yet. The guests who stayed overnight in Hua Man Lou were even more tired after a night of sleep and it was time for them to have a good sleep.
