Da Zhu's hand didn't go down, and she raised her eyes to look at Yuan Qing Ling, with a hint of almost invisible sinisterness and ruthlessness in her eyes. It suddenly made people realize that her previous recklessness and meanness were just an illusion.
This look disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was replaced by a cold and sarcastic look, "Princess. Could it be that I don't even want to teach you a lesson for your nonsense? What kind of place do you think the Duke's Mansion is? Just look for it.
How dare a slave bark at his master?"
Yuan Qing was silent, stepped forward to stop Ah Si and her, and then looked at Da Zhu. Da Zhu sneered again. "What a fair and virtuous princess. But she allowed slaves to commit crimes. She was arrogant and spoke nonsense.
Is a slave like this worthy of the Crown Princess’s protection?”
Yuan Qingling said coldly, "First of all, I'm not protecting her, I'm protecting you. You have such a mean mouth, and Ah Si's temperament will definitely beat you to the ground. Secondly, Ah Si is not a slave of my Prince Chu Palace."
.She is a member of the Yuan family, and you are a second-grade imperial edict, inviolable. But the Yuan family is not easy to bully. Furthermore, what Ah Si just said to you, did you say it? If you said it, don’t
You are said to be a second-grade imperial concubine, but even if you are a first-grade imperial concubine, I can also punish you for talking about my concubine behind my back and mistreating me. You have good intentions, but I came here without you, and you accused me of being unkempt and dishonored, and I insulted your Duke Zhu Guo. I will repay you with kindness.
Who is so arrogant? If you really said these words, it would not be an exaggeration to tear your mouth to pieces."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Duke Zhu, her eyes bright and angry, "My lord, my concubine has committed an offence, judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. If the people in the Duke's mansion are like this, then my visit is in vain.
Farewell!"
Zhu Guogong had been listening, and when he didn't know Ah Si's identity, he really felt that Ah Si was going too far. After all, no matter what Mr. Zhu said, he was a second-grade imperial concubine, and there was no rule at all in contradicting his wife.
But when he heard that he was from the Yuan family, he understood that although the Yuan family was rough and arrogant, they had the most Yuan family rules, and the rules they believed were universal.
Hearing those inappropriate words said by the Da Zhu family again, he was already furious. Now Yuan Qingling left directly because of these words. He first tried to save Yuan Qingling, and then gave the Da Zhu family a fierce look, "Say
Didn’t you say those words?”
Da Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Father, these words may be wrong, but she may not have bad intentions. Why would she be so kind to treat her mother? Besides, her eldest brother had gone to invite her a long time ago, but she couldn't afford to take a nap.
The mother endured the pain and suffering, and then came here with such disheveled makeup. She was clearly deliberately humiliating our Duke's office, saying that our Duke's office was not worthy of her respect. Why do you have to look at her face? What about the Crown Princess? It was she who came to the door yesterday.
It’s not like we begged her to come.”
Zhu Guogong's face was furious, but Ah Si overcame him, "Can't you take a nap? The Crown Princess went into the palace last night to treat the Supreme Emperor. She didn't sleep all night. She came out of the palace to take a nap at noon. When she learned that the eldest son came to invite her, she immediately
I got up, washed myself briefly, and came over. This thought was called a humiliation by you. The Crown Princess is nothing special, so what’s so special about you, a second-grade imperial concubine? I won’t serve you anymore, Sister Yuan, you don’t have to
Talking nonsense to her and treating her with good intentions is just like a donkey’s liver and lungs, let’s go!”
After saying that, she grabbed Yuan Qingling and left. She couldn't stand this anger.
Yuan Qingling also felt that she needed to dampen Da Zhu's spirit. If she had to endure her being difficult and mean every time she came here, why bother?
So, Ah Si dragged her away, and she said to Man'er, "Man'er, go and remove the stitches for the Duke's wife. You have seen what I did. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Man'er said quickly.
"Okay, let's remove the needles. Ah Si and I will leave first." Yuan Qingling said, ignoring Zhu Guogong's look to hold back, and strode out with Ah Si.
Naturally, Duke Zhu Guo couldn't force her to stay. He just thought that his wife would lose the treatment, so he immediately turned his anger on the big Zhu family, slapped him with his hand, and roared, "Get out, you are not allowed to come back without my order."
Da Zhu covered her face and looked at Duke Zhu with humiliation and unwillingness, "Father, are you confused? She is the Crown Princess, do you really want to ignore Prince An? He is the real emperor, Prince An's Mansion
, the Di family, when it is prosperous, everyone is prosperous, and when it is lost, everyone is devastated."
Zhu Guogong's face darkened, and there was a storm in his eyes, "Don't say this a second time in the Duke's mansion, otherwise, even if you are your own daughter, I will never show mercy!"
Da Zhu had a look of disbelief on her face, "Father, how could you do this? We are Prince An's maternal family."
Zhu Guogong said coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. Even though Ah Si of the Yuan family is reckless, she will not attack you casually. You deliberately angered her and made the princess guilty of indulging in slaves. Think about it."
I can't control what your intentions are for ruining the prince's reputation, but I will never allow you to do such a dark and dirty thing in the palace of our country."
After saying that, Duke Zhu Guo ordered someone to call Zhu Houde, telling him to watch her leave the Duke's Mansion and not allow her to come back unless something happened.
When Da Zhu was driven away, Man'er happened to go outside.
She was holding something in her hand and watching Mrs. Zhu bend down to get on the sedan. She thought of Mrs. Zhu's ugly and vicious face. She didn't know where she got the courage to kick her on the butt.
Then he disappeared in a flash.
Man'er ran far away and heard Da Zhu's cursing voice. Her heart was beating wildly and she felt that she was a little impulsive. After all, she was a second-grade imperial concubine. If she was caught, she would be imprisoned.
of.
However, Man'er thought that she was so bad and dared to bully the Crown Princess, so he felt that it was worth kicking her to breathe a sigh of relief and going to jail.
Man'er's kick knocked Da Zhu upside down and plunged her head into the sedan chair. The pain was so painful that her head was about to burst. When the maid helped her up, she reached out and touched her head. She was so angry that her head was covered with blood.
Regardless of her identity, she cursed loudly and asked clearly about the maid brought by the Crown Princess. Now she was sure that it was the maid, and immediately asked someone to go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the crime, saying that she was injured by the Crown Princess's maid.
Since the absence of Yu Wenhao in Jingzhao Mansion, the position of Fu Yin has been temporarily taken over by Fu Cheng. This Fu Cheng usually listens to Yu Wenhao's words, but he is the internal support of King An. Therefore, he received Da Zhu's appointment.
After reporting the case, he personally took people to the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
On Man'er's side, after returning home, he told Yuan Qingling about kicking the big Zhu family, and knelt down to apologize.
Yuan Qingling helped her up and asked, "Did you kick her hard?"
Man'er murmured, "It happened in the moment. I couldn't control it. I used a lot of strength. The slave ran far away and even heard her screams."
Yuan Qingling praised him and said, "That's a good kick. I can't do it because of my status. Otherwise, I would have slapped him long ago."
Man'er didn't expect that the Crown Princess would praise her without blaming her, so she felt relieved. However, she then worriedly said, "She... I'm just afraid that she won't let the slave go. The slave doesn't matter, she's just afraid that the Crown Princess will be implicated."
