Chapter 209: Out of Control
Concubine Yu said that her feet were swollen and uncomfortable due to pregnancy, so she asked her to come out and get some hot water to soak her feet.
She had just come back from fetching water when she saw Shen Bishui walking towards her.
Before Tang Yue'er could react, Shen Bishui was already close to her. She suddenly raised her hand, and her big palm swung down from high above, directly slapping her on the cheek.
Tang Yue'er was knocked off balance by the sudden slap in the face. The basin in her hand fell to the ground, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
She covered her burning face and looked up at Shen Bishui in surprise.
Shen Bishui glared at her viciously. Without waiting for Tang Yue'er to ask, she coldly said, "Bitch!" and walked away.
Tang Yue'er stood there in shock, covering her face.

Bai Yan Tower.
Baiyanlou was where the Bai family sold rouge and powder. Downstairs, noble men and women came and went, making it very lively.
Bai Yanli sat in a window seat on the second floor, his eyes scanning the pedestrians passing by downstairs.
"Master." Sui Qi walked up to the second floor and said, "The last time you asked someone to follow the young master of the Lin family to investigate the spies planted by the Lin family in the Shen family's army, there has been a result."
"Well, who is it?"
"That man is now the head of a guard beside Shen Lang. His name is Xu Wang. He has been by Shen Lang's side for many years and is deeply trusted by Shen Lang."
"This time, Lin Junchen found him through a secret line and learned from him about the situations of several secret teams that Shen Lang sent to the capital to assist the prince."
"Lin Junchen has already taken action against those secret teams." Sui Qi said.
"Well, okay." Bai Yanli nodded, "Eliminating these secret teams of the Shen family army is just a superficial appearance."
"If we get rid of these ones, Shen Lang will send others. In the final analysis, it is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause." Bai Yanli said.
"That's right." Sui Qi also agreed, "The most important thing is Shen's army and Shen Lang."
Bai Yanli said: "The reason why the Shen family army is so strong, in addition to Shen Lang's personal ability, is also thanks to him finding a good wife."
"Are you talking about the Madam Shen who once went deep into the enemy camp alone to take the head of the leader of the Southern Bandits?"
"That's right." Bai Yanli nodded, "The Shen family army's reputation was created by this Madam Shen."
"Suiqi." Bai Yanli took out an exquisite small porcelain jar from his sleeve and handed it to Suiqi.
This is exactly the powder cream that he gave to Emperor Zhou to apply a few days ago. Because Emperor Zhou applied it, it has become popular in the capital, and the wives of all the nobles are using it.
"Find out the channel through which the General's Mansion and Xu Wang communicate, and give this bottle of powder paste to Xu Wang." Bai Yanli said, and called Sui Qi to his side, and he told Sui Qi everything in detail.
Sui Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
I thought that the young master's method every time was to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, and he could kill people unexpectedly.
"Go."
"Understood, Master." Sui Qi nodded and retreated with the powder paste.

White House.
When Bai Yanli returned home, he saw Ye Qinghe and Tang Wanru sitting in the room.
Ye Qinghe made a lot of exquisite pastries and placed them on the table. The two of them ate while chatting.
"Wanru, today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Song Rong would definitely not have escaped this disaster."
Speaking of Bai Songrong, Ye Qinghe's eyes became gentle, "Songrong is a very straightforward person. According to him, he should go to the government to make this matter clear. He never thought that if he could make it clear, the people who came to arrest him today would not be the Crown Princess Shen Bishui, but the government officials."
Ye Qinghe said angrily: "The Crown Princess is clearly trying to frame the Bai family!"
Ye Qinghe was right, but she was also too pessimistic.
"Sister-in-law, what my brother said may not be wrong. Even if I don't have Concubine Chen to back him up today, he may not be dead if he is arrested by the government. With the relationship between Yan Li and King Wei, he will not ignore my brother's affairs." Tang Wanru said, "So this credit may not be all mine."
Ye Qinghe listened to Tang Wanru's analysis and was even more impressed. She wondered why they were all women.
Tang Wanru seemed to be able to see farther than her.
Perhaps it was this foresight that prevented her from becoming as flustered and confused as she was when faced with difficulties.
My mind is full of pessimism.
"Wanru, thank you anyway." No matter what, Bai Songrong was safe this time because of her.
Tang Wanru smiled.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and saw Bai Yanli standing at the door. She couldn't stay any longer, so she said goodbye to Tang Wanru, stepped out and left.
As soon as she left, Tang Wanru felt a pair of eyes looking at her.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Yanli strangely: "Why are you looking at me?"
Bai Yanli didn't say anything, but suddenly leaned forward and kissed her little mouth.
"Hmm." Tang Wanru was startled and subconsciously took two steps back to avoid him. "What are you doing?"
It was just a light kiss, Bai Yanli didn't ask for more. When he saw her avoid him, he didn't chase her. Instead, he turned around, sat down and said, "Nothing, I just missed you."
Tang Wanru narrowed her eyes and thought, this man...
She turned around and sat directly on his lap. She pulled his hand and said, "If you miss me, then continue. How can such a short moment relieve my longing for you?"
Bai Yanli was amused by her and couldn't help laughing. He put one hand around her waist and the other hand on her belly, stroking it gently.
"Wanru, you really make people look at you with new eyes." Bai Yanli heard about Bai Songrong's matter right after returning, and couldn't help but say, "Why does it seem like everything is under your control?"
"Concubine Chen was favored yesterday, and today you used her to save eldest brother. How did you calculate this? Huh?" He stroked her belly for a while, then moved up her arm and played with her water-shell ears.
Tang Wanru let him play with her, fiddling with his belt and saying nonchalantly, "It's not that I'm good, it's that Concubine Chen is good. She was able to get the Emperor to promote her by two levels in just one night. If she didn't, I wouldn't be able to save Brother Songrong."
This morning Yingchun brought her the two pieces of news, the good news being that Concubine Chen became the Imperial Noble Concubine.
It just so happened that she used this good news to heal Shen Bishui from the bad news.
Tang Wanru is good at talking and can always push good things onto others without any hesitation, but in fact Bai Yanli knows that she is the core person in it.
The hand holding her waist tightened slightly, and Bai Yanli's head leaned against her ear, his warm breath lingering on her neck and cheek. She subconsciously shrank her neck, but Bai Yanli's hand pressed the back of her head at the right time, making it impossible for her to hide from him. He sniffed her charming body fragrance and asked, "Wanru, what in this world is not under your control? Hmm?"
That's a good question.
Tang Wanru did not hide from him. Instead, she stretched out a finger and hooked Bai Yanli's chin. She exerted a little force and lifted up Bai Yanli's head which was almost buried in her neck, so that his deep eyes met hers.
"You." She opened her red lips slightly, and her bright eyes turned to reflect his handsome face into her pupils.
