Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

These people really forget the pain once they've had a taste of food. It's only been a few days and they've forgotten how badly Zi Xia beat them last time.

Zi Xia comes from the itinerant world and has never been accustomed to being beaten.

The maids and old maids charged at her fiercely, and she immediately started fighting them.

Madam Wang considers herself to be the Princess Consort and the mistress of the mansion. Whoever she wants to punish should obediently accept it. However, the maid beside Xuexue challenged her authority repeatedly.

She stood aside, gritting her teeth in anger, pointing at the crowd and then turning to look at Xuexue, trembling all over with anger, saying somewhat incoherently, "Look at what kind of servants you brought? They don't obey discipline at all, they're just like riffraff from the streets."

Hearing this, Xuexue felt like laughing. You're allowed to hit people, but others aren't allowed to resist? Who set that rule?

Xuexue: "Sister, this is where you're wrong."

Madam Wang glared at her fiercely, her crimson lips slightly parted, her voice sinister: "Your servants are unruly, and this Princess Consort is teaching them a lesson on your behalf. Instead of being grateful, you dare say this Princess Consort is wrong?"

"Sister, bullying the weak with numbers is where you're wrong."

"You…!"

"Sister, don't glare at me. Xuexue is timid and might have nightmares after seeing your expression at night."

"Madam Situ, do you know how to punish insubordination in the Prince's Mansion?"

"I'm all ears."

"Twenty strokes with a cane."

"Haha…! Is that a rule set by yourself, sister?"

"So what if it is? I'm the mistress here and can punish however I please."

Originally appearing indifferent, Xuexue's expression changed abruptly: "Since you're so candid, sister, Xuexue isn't afraid to tell you that anyone daring to touch my people, I'll wipe her out."

"You…!"

Xuexue's eyes turned fierce, a change from her usual gentle demeanor, startling Madam Wang.

Xuexue leaned in a bit closer, whispering coldly into Madam Wang's ear: "If you want to stay in the War Prince's Mansion for long, sister, it's best not to provoke me."

Madam Wang, being seasoned in the itinerant world, quickly composed herself after a moment of intimidation.

"You dare threaten me?"

"A threat is a small matter. Anger me, and people will die."

Since entering the War Prince's Mansion, this Madam Wang has repeatedly caused trouble for her, and Xuexue's patience is worn out. She's decided to warn her properly, although having the Emperor behind Madam Wang seems to render it ineffective.

"You dare threaten this Princess Consort publicly?" Having spent years rolling through the brothel, Madam Wang is not a kind soul.

"Is it a threat? No, Xuexue is just chatting with sister."

A country girl coming back says something like this, Madam Wang is starting to suspect.

"Trying to silence me and claim otherwise."

Xuexue didn't deny it. After all, they're speaking so quietly that others can't hear: "It's good you know. Perhaps one day a nameless corpse will appear on Changan Street, her face slashed so badly that even her parents wouldn't recognize her."

"Madam Situ, don't bully others too much. Do you think, being the eldest legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, you have free reign? Let me tell you, there's someone supporting this Princess Consort, definitely outmatching a mere General's Mansion."

Upon hearing this, Xuexue felt a jolt in her heart. She knew well there was someone behind Madam Wang, or else she wouldn't be the Princess Consort of War Prince given her status.

The one who issued the imperial edict for the marriage was the Emperor. Could it be that Madam Wang has the Emperor behind her? Thinking of this, Xuexue was secretly surprised. No wonder Long Rui always has reservations toward Madam Wang.
