Chapter 126 How Dare They Bully Others Like This!
Gu Anxian was burning with jealousy, while Nanny Lin reported Gu Anxian's words to Princess Yu truthfully.
After hearing this, Princess Yu's face darkened instantly: "Does she really think that the Prime Minister's Mansion is so powerful that she can ignore the Prince's Mansion?"
Although Prince Yu has been demoted to a prince, the fact that they are royal family has not changed.
So what if the Prime Minister's Mansion holds real power?
Can they stand firm for the rest of their lives?
To despise the imperial power is to seek death. Gu Anxian has already married into the Prince's Mansion, but she dares to use the power of her family to suppress her?
If she doesn't teach her a lesson, she will really think that Prince Yu's Mansion has no rules at all!
Princess Yu shook her sleeves and ordered coldly: "From now on, she is not allowed to step out of the palace."
"Yes, I will arrange it later."
"Tomorrow--" Princess Yu paused and said coldly, "No, starting from tonight, let her go to my yard to pay her respects. Don't slack off in the morning and evening, otherwise you will be punished by the family law."
Nanny Lin agreed: "Don't worry, Princess, I will definitely tell her."
Princess Yu had a gloomy face and was silent for a moment: "Just now her maid Xiang'er went out of the house?"
"Yes." Another housekeeper nodded, "Xiang'er just came to ask for instructions, saying that she was ordered by the young lady to go to the bank to get some silver back."
"She has only been married for a few days, and the silver she brought has been used up?" Princess Yu sneered, "What is Gu Anxian's plan? Do you really think I don't know?"
She didn't go to get it on weekdays, but chose to go today. Isn't it because she knew that the Ninth Prince would propose today?
Taking silver is indeed a good excuse. What Prince Yu’s Mansion lacks now is silver.
So Gu Anxian thought that she could be controlled by silver.
A cold smile flashed across the corner of Princess Yu’s mouth.
A young girl who just got married really thought that everything was under her control?
Princess Yu ordered: "Madame Zhu, arrange a few people to guard the door. When Xiang’er comes back, take her directly and lock her in the woodshed. Say that she does not follow the rules of the palace. This princess will deal with her according to the family law." Tianlai Novel Network
Madame Zhu nodded: "Yes."
"Princess." Madame Lin looked solemn, "I heard that Xiang’er knows some martial arts."
"A woman, even if she knows some martial arts, so what?" Princess Yu disdainfully said, "Send a few more strong maids over. If it doesn’t work, let the guards in the palace do it. I don’t believe she has three heads and six arms."
"Yes."
Xiang’er didn’t know yet that the people in the palace were already planning to deal with her.
After walking around outside and watching the Ninth Prince's engagement scene, and learning the general process from the discussions around her, she quickly went to the bank.
She put the silver she got into her bag, and she didn't stay any longer, and quickly returned to Prince Yu's Mansion.
However, as soon as she stepped into the gate, she was held by the arms of several maids and servants who were waiting for her.
"What are you doing?" Xiang'er struggled subconsciously, raised her legs and kicked the maid closest to her, "I left the mansion with permission. Madam asked me to get some silver for the convenience of the eldest master--"
"Where is the silver?" Madam Zhu asked coldly standing in front of her.
Xiang'er had a bag on her arm, and Madam Lin's eyes swept across her arm, her eyes sharp, and suddenly snatched the bag from her hand.
The heavy bag of silver made a clattering sound under the huge force of pulling.
Xiang'er felt uneasy, and in a hurry she struggled harder and harder to break free. The maids were no match for her and let her get away.
"The silver belongs to the lady, and you evil slaves dared to rob the lady's silver!" Xiang'er was furious, "Are you bandits? Does Princess Yu have any respect for her?"
Nanny Lin shook the bundle in her hand and smiled coldly, "Leaving the house without permission violated the rules. Lock her up in the woodshed and wait for the princess's decision!"
"You dare?" Xiang'er took a step back and glared at the evil slaves in front of her with caution, "I was ordered by the young lady to go out to get the silver. I asked Nanny Zhu for permission beforehand!"
"It's nonsense!" Nanny Zhu said coldly, and she categorically rejected her statement, "You dare to quibble when you leave the house without permission! When did I allow you to leave the house?"
Xiang'er looked at her in disbelief.
Well, they are really good at lying with their eyes open. In broad daylight, they bully people like this!
Xiang'er clenched her hands and retreated step by step toward the gate.
Nanny Zhu saw her intention with her sharp eyes and turned around and shouted: "Come! Catch her!"
Xiang'er turned around and ran, not caring how many people were chasing her behind her, and ran desperately towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Quick! Bring her back!"
"Don't let her run away!"
Xiang'er was anxious and her footsteps were faster.
She knew that if she was caught, not only would she be unlucky, but the young lady would also suffer from it.
She had to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible to tell everything, so that the Prime Minister would come forward to seek justice for the young lady.
On the long street, Xiang'er ran in front, the guards chased behind, and a few rough maids were far behind. It looked like a big scene.
Today, because the Ninth Prince was betrothed, after the excitement was over, the long street was crowded with cars and people.
Xiang'er had practiced kung fu, and her legs were agile. It didn't take long for her to run to the noisy long street.
Looking up and seeing a familiar figure, Xiang'er rushed over: "Mrs. Shen! Mrs. Shen, help me!"
Mrs. Shen was shopping with several other ladies. When they walked to the door of a cloth shop, they suddenly encountered such a situation and were stunned.
She stared at Xiang'er in confusion: "You are..."
"Madam Shen, I am Xiang'er, the maidservant of the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Xiang'er quickly revealed her identity, "Please help me, Madam Shen!"
Madam Shen was startled, looking at the many guards who hurriedly chased after her, and subconsciously turned her head to look at the other ladies.
The other wives of the officials also did not know the inside story and looked at each other in confusion.
Xiang'er didn't dare to waste time and explained the reason as quickly as possible: "My young lady has been controlled everywhere since she married into Prince Yu's Mansion!"
"Princess Yu and her son Mu Wenxuan have tried their best to plunder my young lady's dowry for household expenses, and also restricted my young lady from leaving the mansion, framed me with false charges, and even robbed me of the cash I just took out from the ticket office!"
"Censor Shen supervises all officials and is fair and strict. He will definitely not stand idly by when encountering such a situation. I also ask Madam Shen to make the decision! I ask Lord Shen to go to the imperial court to impeach the actions of Prince Yu's Mansion and uphold justice for my young lady!"
Madam Shen didn't have a good impression of Gu Anxian, not to mention that this was a matter between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion.
She was just a wife of the Censor, and she really didn't dare to take on this mess.
After a little thought, she said, "I know about this matter. I will tell Lord Censor when I go back in the evening, but I can't help you now. You should hurry back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for help."
