The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the yard.
Aunt Zhou, who came to convey Princess Qinghe's order, had no time to stop her. To be precise, she was completely shocked when Nanny Feng suddenly burst out and hit someone.
"...Bai Zhi! Are you okay?"
The moment she came back to her senses, Nanny Zhou immediately rushed to Bai Zhi's side. While carefully checking the injury, she protected Bai Zhi and completely separated the two of them.
The clear five-fingerprints on the fair and tender skin quickly swelled up as quickly as they could be seen with the naked eye, and you could even see traces of blood.
While helping Bai Zhi, who was unbearably humiliated and a little frightened, and sobbing softly, to stand up, Grandma Zhou turned her head with a solemn expression to look at Grandma Feng, who was arrogantly waving her hands.
It was undeniable that as soon as she went out, she saw Bai Zhi fluttering and instantly suppressing Nanny Feng. Naturally, one can guess why the two became entangled.
And then when he saw Bai Zhi not falling behind, pressing Nanny Feng and rubbing against the ground, she was secretly relieved. And he really planned to turn a blind eye and prepare to muddy the situation and let this farce end there.
But who knows, things will go beyond her expectation in a blink of an eye.
"Sister Zhou! How can you hit someone? No matter how ignorant Bai Zhi is, she has been with the eldest princess since she was a child."
Grandma Zhou glared angrily at the person in front of her. Although her teeth were sore with hatred, she had to be patient and try her best to talk to him calmly.
However, Nanny Feng didn't even bother to look at the other party. She stood up, pouted twice, spit out the dust in her mouth, smiled sarcastically, and said with a sneer:
"Don't blame my sister for speaking rudely. Sister Zhou, are you blind? Can't you see that Bai Zhi was rude to me first? That means this girl is lucky. I can't let the Duke's wife wait outside the courtyard gate for a long time. Otherwise, hum. …”
The more Grandma Feng spoke, the angrier she became.
After saying this, he paused for a moment, squinted his eyes and glanced at Aunt Zhou and Bai Zhi, raised one corner of his mouth with a sly smile, and said softly like a breath in a voice that sent chills down the spine:
"However, today's matter is naturally not over yet. Just wait, there will be plenty of time to settle this account slowly in the future."
————
Waiting outside Mingxia Residence, Du Shi, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was sitting in the corridor, had not seen anyone for a long time and came to greet her, and her face was very ugly.
The servants who followed her were so suppressed by their master's invisible anger that they did not even dare to express their anger.
From front to back, the shrunken presence remains silent, for fear of being a scapegoat.
Just when there was deathly silence, there was a creak, and the black door of Mingxia Residence in front finally opened from the inside, and a group of maids filed out to greet the people of the Duke's Mansion.
Aunt Feng was walking in the lead, hurrying and hurrying, with sweat breaking out on her forehead.
"You are so negligent, please forgive me, Madam Madam."
After she excused herself and stood up, she subconsciously stroked her hair while guiding Du Shi.
I had too much entanglement with that little bitch before, and not only was she covered in dirt, my hair was even scattered!
Fortunately, the girl who usually combs the eldest princess's hair has a pair of skillful hands, and she has already done it for her the moment she changes her clothes.
It's a pity that she couldn't afford to waste more time to investigate carefully, so she rushed to greet the Duke's wife. I hope I'm not too rude and let her leave a bad impression on the Duke's wife, but the gain outweighs the loss...
But all the efforts and painstaking efforts made by Grandma Feng were in vain.
The Duke's wife, Mrs. Du, has not looked at her for a moment since Mingxia Residence opened the door.
"Where is your master?"
Just after stepping into the threshold of Mingxia Residence, Mrs. Du could no longer hold back her anxiety and began to ask questions.
"Back to the eldest lady, the eldest princess is weak. She was disturbed again yesterday and is currently raising her baby in the house."
Aunt Feng quickly mentioned the situation of Qing and the eldest princess before she spoke.
After that, she immediately smiled and raised her hand, indicating to Mrs. Du to follow her, while explaining:
"But you are a distinguished guest. Please go to the flower hall in the west wing first. The eldest princess will dress up a little and then..."
Du didn't wait for Nanny Feng to finish speaking, waved her hand and said decisively:
"There's no need to go to such trouble. Although the eldest princess has a noble status, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo. Am I, the eldest sister-in-law, still an outsider?"
As she spoke, Du Shi glanced at Nanny Feng with dissatisfaction, then waved her sleeves and led her own servants straight to where Neili Qing and the eldest princess were.
Grandma Feng didn’t expect that her flattery would land on the horse’s legs!
At this moment, she wanted to slap herself in the face.
She had long been aware of the discord between the sisters-in-law, and she knew even more clearly that the Duke's wife would easily turn into a hedgehog when she encountered Princess Qinghe Station.
Tsk, how could she be so happy that she forgot her sense of proportion? !
While reviewing, Nanny Feng had regained her energy and followed the Duke's wife step by step, trying hard to make up for the accidental omission just now.
Aunt Zhou should be secretly happy, but she was too anxious at the moment to pay attention to the person named Feng, and could only silently follow behind Du.
The princess has instructions, and she cannot forcefully stop the Duke's wife, let alone be disrespectful. And the eldest princess, who has a good face, will never let Bai Zhi serve her with a bruised face.
Now, she was the only person left who was important enough to serve in the inner room and protect Princess Qinghe at critical moments.
And I thought that Mrs. Zhenguo was just a "guest" as usual, looking for trouble.
But who would have known that the other party would bring so many people and "kill them" with great force!
What exactly is this going to do?
Under such a situation, how could she protect the eldest princess completely without arranging backup arrangements?
Nanny Zhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but for the sake of the eldest princess, she adhered to her duty in every move without making any mistakes. Even his face was dull.
The group of people walked in a hurry with different thoughts, but in a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the main hall of Mingxia Residence.
Du Shi stood still and waved his hand back silently. The maids who came with her immediately lined up on both sides, like soldiers guarding the pass, and stood on the corridor outside the door.
After that, she entered the inner room aggressively under the curtains drawn by Nanny Feng.
Grandma Zhou's eyes were full of worry. After quickly scanning around, she had no choice but to follow in immediately.
Now that the incense has been removed, only the faint scent of melons and fruits remains in the room. Even though it is already three o'clock in the morning, the surroundings are still covered by heavy curtains.
The Duke's wife, who had just entered the house, was unprepared and failed to close her feet in time when the curtain was lowered. She tripped over something on the ground and almost flew out!
"Tsk!"
While Du Shi stabilized her body, she couldn't help but lick her tongue fiercely.
He is indeed a sick man. Even if he takes medicine to save his life, what is the difference between hiding in such a dark place all day long and living in a tomb? It is better to go to the Palace of Hell to report earlier, so that you can come quickly and avoid dragging down others.
Du Shi was gloating about such a misfortune, and even the unhappiness of almost tripping just now flew out of the sky.
When she could barely make out the dim surroundings and the outline of objects, she walked inside again.
But after one after another, things were knocked over or her clothes were scratched, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily:
"Light the lamp! Someone, hold the lamp for me!"
