MTLNOVEL Chapter 229 Debunking
Although she couldn't figure it out, Zhou Xiaoyuan was obviously not someone who would keep her worries to herself.
Since Concubine Shu dares to do such a thing, she must not be afraid of her asking.
There has to be a reason, right? Zhou Xiaoyuan felt this way, so it was better to confront her face to face and see how many truths and lies this nanny had in her mouth. She glanced at Princess Jialun, who also nodded.
She was about to go find someone, but she didn't expect the door to open at this moment. The housekeeper and a slightly familiar woman walked in from the outside. Zhou Xiaoyuan was slightly startled, but Princess Jialun quickly recognized that it was a palace dress, and she picked it out. Eyebrow, but alert: "I just said that I would ask someone to send it over."
"Now here comes someone from the palace? Which palace are you from? Hmm... Anyone who can come to Prince Rong's Mansion at this time must have a good relationship with Concubine Shu, right? That's just right. Let's take a look at this dog slave. Doesn't he look familiar? "
She spoke unabashedly, and the palace maid's eyes were a little helpless, but she still saluted respectfully, "I have met Princess Jialun, Miss Zhou."
After saying that, she spoke, "This slave is from Concubine Shu's palace."
"As for this person..." The eldest maid didn't even look at the nanny, but the first moment the eldest maid appeared in the courtyard, her whole body went limp. Her eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't help but. I didn’t expect people from Concubine Shu’s palace to show up here.
Seeing this expression, Zhou Xiaoyuan had already come to a similar conclusion, but she still frowned and couldn't figure out who was behind this nanny's instigation.
Being able to do tricks on this kind of thing should be praised for being sharp, even if it's not something to say.
Zhou Xiaoyuan thought while listening to the eldest palace maid's words.
Straight to the point, he said: "I think this slave also knows about the matter. Please rest assured, young lady, it is impossible for the queen to order such a complicated matter."
"Perhaps the girl has heard rumors that His Highness Prince Rong was trained in a devilish way, but obviously, that is because His Highness is a prince, so he has more demands - but the empress has never asked His Highness Prince Rong to do anything that is not conducive to His Highness learning the rules. , just to torture His Highness."
"Similarly, the same goes for girls. Please believe that my mother-in-law treats girls sincerely. It is absolutely impossible to do the same thing in front of her and behind her back. If you really want to embarrass the girl, why bother to go around like this?"
There was sincerity in her tone. Zhou Xiaoyuan really didn't feel the need to be suspicious, but things couldn't be that simple.
After the palace maid finished speaking, she paused for a while and saw that Zhou Xiaoyuan had no reaction.
She understood immediately in her heart, she nodded slightly, turned around to look at the nanny, and scolded: "Aunt Li! It's a great blessing for the empress to give you a chance to go out of the palace to serve girls. She trusts you as an old man and can't bear to waste your talents. So, what are you doing?"
"My Majesty asked you to teach the girl well, and you just want her to be polite, but you pretended to take my orders and tainted my innocence!"
After she said that, she turned around and cupped her hands towards Zhou Xiaoyuan.
"If you want to believe in me again, girl, please hand over this evil slave to your slave. There are many kinds of punishments in the palace. If you do it one time, this evil slave will not be able to speak if you don't believe me."
These words were said with a bit more of a threat. Zhou Xiaoyuan was quite stunned. Before she opened her mouth to speak, the nanny on the other end was already panicking.
Her tears came as soon as she could, and she rushed to the palace maid's legs and cried in panic, "No, no, no..."
Servant, Servant, I definitely don’t mean this. Servant is just unwilling and just wants to——”
After saying that, she seemed to have just reacted, and looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan hurriedly, kneeling and trying to crawl over again.
Zhou Xiaoyuan was so frightened that she took several steps back.
Only then did the grandma stop, and her expression became even more flustered. When she was at a loss for words, she murmured everything.
Only then did Zhou Xiaoyuan know that Xia Yechen had not treated her very well since she was sent here by Concubine Shu. Without saying a word, Songling asked someone to take her to the servant's room.
What a coincidence, probably for the convenience of the housekeeper, next to her was the maid given to her by Concubine Shu.
This nanny is timid. After hearing the exaggerated stories of the palace ladies, she became even more frightened. She always felt that the concubine living in this mansion was some kind of monster. In addition, Concubine Shu really didn't like Zhou Xiaoyuan very much before.
Those palace maids were not good at doing other things, but they still had a way of deceiving people. After such preaching, the nun just believed them.
So this can also explain why she had such deep respect for Zhou Xiaoyuan when they first met. She was obviously scared.
Zhou Xiaoyuan twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look at the eldest palace maid who looked a little embarrassed, and said tactfully.
"Before, I wanted to thank the empress for the gift, and I also thought that it would be fine if the maid was ignorant and trained... But now I think it was probably me who made the first impression. The temple here is really small, and I'm afraid it can't accommodate these big Buddhas. I don't know, girl. Can you tell the truth to your Majesty for me?"
Of course, there is no need to ask more about what it means. You can tell by looking at the expression of the palace maid. She has a blessed body and does not care.
hesitate:
"Of course, this matter involves the injustice suffered by the girl and the reputation of the empress. I will report it truthfully. Let me take these people back with me. The empress will definitely give the girl a satisfactory answer."
Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded, not thinking about it, but looked at the housekeeper next to her, and reminded: "What are you still waiting for? Ask those people to bring it and send it away together."
She said, rubbing her temples because of her headache.
The eldest maid understood this, immediately bowed and left, and followed the housekeeper out of the courtyard. But the nanny, who was probably grief-stricken, was extremely calm.
Zhou Xiaoyuan was watching from behind and didn't think there was anything wrong with the housekeeper personally arresting the person. After all, those palace maids were capable of acting like monsters.
If the housekeeper hadn't brought the guards there, I'm afraid no one would be able to escort the maid back alone.
Thinking like this, Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head more and more. She didn't know what was going on in these people's minds. Isn't it bad that I won't offend others if they don't offend me? Why do you have to go against yourself?
Who is a weak woman from a commoner family getting in the way?
Just as she was thinking about it, Zhou Xiaoyuan turned around and saw the surprised look in Princess Jialun's eyes. She paused and asked with a strange expression: "What are you looking at me for? Do you think this ending is not good? But it's already good, then. After all, Mammy belongs to Concubine Shu."
Even if she was confused for a moment, it was still sent by Concubine Shu. The eldest palace maid did something right and she really had to do it. Otherwise, Zhou Xiaoyuan was overstepping her bounds. She still knew this very well.
But Princess Jialun didn't seem to know the rules. Zhou Xiaoyuan blinked and kept her words to herself.
Sure enough, I saw Jia before I finished speaking.
Princess Lun shook her head.
"I know, I just wanted to scare her. Who would have thought that someone would bite her to death and not let go."
