"In the past few years, God has been blind, with droughts in the summer, floods in the winter, and monsters raging. The prince's several villages on the outskirts of the capital have no harvest. The shops in the capital are also losing money every year." Concubine Chen nodded with her handkerchief.
His eyes looked like he was wiping tears, "After so many years, I have finished all my dowry. Fortunately, I have you now, princess, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."
Baili Xixi picked up the account book and turned to the last page. When she saw the settled deficit, she smiled instead of getting angry.
"My servants all said that Concubine Chen emptied the warehouse before I did. I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be true."
Concubine Chen's face froze, and Grandma Chen stepped forward and said: "Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. Our master has served the prince for more than twenty years. There is no credit, but hard work. Princess
So, don’t you mean to force our master to death?”
Concubine Chen immediately beat her chest and cried, "You have been wronged to death, you have been wronged to death. My lord, my lord, my concubine has served you for nearly twenty years, and in the end have you received this insult?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"" Concubine Chen covered her handkerchief and cried. None of the concubines around her came forward to comfort her. Only the Wen family gave her a few words of persuasion.
Compared to the concubines who were indifferent and in charge of things, the maids were much more attentive, offering tea and comforting them, completely forgetting about the princess Baili Xixi.
Auntie Chen even shouted: "That bitch is making up things outside. Come forward quickly. You are so daring that you dare to pour dirty water on the concubine..."
Baili Xixi took the expressions of the people in the room into her heart, and her eyes swept over the golden hairpin on Concubine Chen's head, the gem ring on her hand, and the sharp and precious armor.
Baili Xixi patted the table a few times. After everyone calmed down, she said to Concubine Chen: "This princess is just joking, how can Concubine Chen take it seriously? Of course, even if Concubine Chen is greedy for the prince's money,
I can't do anything to Concubine Chen, after all, when Concubine Chen was serving the prince, I was not born yet."
Concubine Chen's cheeks trembled, and she suppressed the anger in her heart, "This kind of joke is not funny at all. Please don't make fun of me again in the future."
Baili Xixi laughed twice, and suddenly she said in a deep voice: "The family has family rules, and the country has national laws. I am an easy person to get along with, but I will never forgive anyone who violates family rules and national laws."
Yiduo pointed at Concubine Chen: "Concubine Chen, it's your first time to greet the princess. You are late, your movements are lazy, and your attitude is arrogant. The princess didn't give her a seat, so you took the seat yourself. Do you know your guilt for being so disrespectful to the princess?"
Concubine Chen did not expect that Baili Xixi would suddenly accuse her. She stood up from her chair, "I told you that I was doing the accounting..."
"I told you to kneel down." Baili Xixi didn't listen to her explanation. She raised her hand and pointed to the middle of the room.
"I……"
"I want you to kneel down." Baili Xixi stared at Concubine Chen and said one word at a time: "Kneel down!"
Concubine Chen was dumbfounded. From Yiduo's words and deeds yesterday, she knew that Baili Xixi might not be a master who could be bullied. Yesterday, she sent Baili Xixi's servants away. Concubine Chen thought that Baili Xixi would come to her.
It was noisy, but Baili Xixi made no noise all night, let alone complained to King Dongrong.
