"My eldest sister is shouting and killing me in my yard for some unreasonable things, so why shouldn't I dare!"
Rong Jiu was still in that lazy tone, and even sipped the tea in her hand leisurely and contentedly: "This tea is good!"
"Slave, thank you for the compliment, Master!"
Taoye lowered his body properly.
Seeing the two of them looking like this, Gu Yunqing's anger due to Rong Hui's behavior dissipated a little.
"You have no rules, maid. My eldest sister is just teaching you a lesson. As the Crown Prince's wife, I can't even teach a lowly maid a lesson!"
Rong Hui said angrily.
"If Madam Prince is angry because I didn't serve you tea, I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
Before Gu Yunqing and Rong Jiu could speak, Tao Ye knelt on the ground.
Rong Jiu's lowered eyes suddenly darkened.
"Mrs. Shizi has just been scolding me for being a dirty person, so I don't dare to serve you tea with my dirty body. If you have any good intentions, I will never redeem you!"
Taoye stood straight, but her head was slightly lowered, respectful but not humble.
Gu Yunqing nodded secretly.
The stepdaughter was so disrespectful and aggressive, and just now Taoye knelt down to apologize without permission. She felt a little uncomfortable, but after hearing these words, she felt much better.
"Taoye used to be my first-class maid, but now she is Ajiu's mistress. Even if she has to teach the rules, she doesn't bother the eldest girl!"
"How can someone avoid something? The eldest girl talks about the rules, but she breaks into her adult brother's yard without permission, makes fun of her aunt, and makes no distinction between right and wrong. She just talks about it, and there's no point in mentioning the word "rules!"
Gu Yunqing put down the tea cup in his hand and looked aside coldly with his beautiful eyes.
It's that condescending look again.
Rong Hui's heart was filled with rage, and her originally pretty face became more and more ferocious.
"I am the legitimate daughter of my original wife. My wife is just a stepmother, and she deserves to be called my mother!"
Tao Ye just stood up at the fifth young master's signal when she heard this sentence.
He couldn't help but glance at the faces of the people around him.
Sure enough, his handsome face was cold, and even the shadows under his eye feathers conveyed a coldness.
"This doesn't need to be difficult for Madam Shizi. I have Ajiu here, so I don't need you as my mother!"
"As the saying goes, it's the fault of the parents if the child doesn't teach me. Since you don't recognize me as your mother, it just so happens that I won't have to be poked in the nose and accused in the future!"
Gu Yunqing was just too lazy to argue with Rong Hui before, but her disdain made her stepdaughter think she was a weakling.
"you……"
Rong Hui was so angry that she pointed her finger at Gu Yunqing and was speechless for a moment.
Because she was pampered by her grandmother and father, Gu never dared to discipline herself after entering the house.
Now he dares to ridicule himself like this.
She was just a step-sibling who was neglected by her father and despised by her grandmother, yet she dared to suffer the injustice.
"Okay, you mother and son, master and servant, are all doing well!"
Rong Hui sneered a few times and angrily walked out the door with a few maids.
He came and went in a hurry, as if he was just looking for trouble.
"Mother, the eldest sister will definitely go to her grandmother to complain. You..."
The room became quiet again, Rong Jiu reminded.
"Let her go. After all, your grandmother doesn't like our mother and son, and she's not bad at this either!"
Her mother-in-law only made fun of herself a few words, but she listened casually, saying that if she wanted to do something extreme again, she would not accept it.
"Madam, Fifth Young Master, this slave is at fault!"
Taoye took a step forward, bowed and bowed.
"The Crown Prince's wife came in angrily just now, and she misunderstood the fifth young master in her words. The servant couldn't hold it back for a moment, and made a few misunderstandings, which angered the Crown Prince's wife!"
"She's here to cause trouble. It has nothing to do with you. Get up!"
Not to mention the stepdaughter's rudeness just now, Gu Yunqing would not blame Tao Ye for protecting her son, but would only appreciate it.
"But Ajiu, what happened to Zheng Chengdu that I just mentioned? I feel a little confused!"
Gu Yunqing asked.
"When we encountered a pack of wolves in the hunting ground, we were all busy looking for a place to hide. When he moved slower, a female wolf bit his arm!"
"The servants of Duke Mao's palace were probably afraid of being punished, so they fell on their son!"
Rong Jiu said casually.
"This is really unreasonable. After all, like a master, like a servant!"
Gu Yunqing became angry when he heard this. Because the prince Mao Guogong married his stepdaughter, everyone from the crown prince to the entire family of the Duke's Palace tried their best to prevent their son from inheriting the title of the Duke's Palace.
Their mother and son had no intention of inheriting the title, but His Majesty said that since Jingguo was in his prime years, the matter of establishing a heir apparent could be discussed further.
These people wanted to eat their mother and son.
"My eldest sister has always had such a temperament. A few days ago, Crown Prince Zheng brought the outer room that he raised outside into the house. I have been feeling unhappy these days. Mother, just don't be angry with yourself!"
"She doesn't deserve my anger. Don't worry, I'll go back first!"
"I'm afraid Shou'antang will come to invite someone soon!"
Gu Yunqing didn't want his son to be involved in the affairs of the back house, so he wanted to go back and wait for his mother-in-law to invite someone.
"Son to mother!"
Rong Jiu sent Gu to the door, and then returned to the house with Tao Ye.
"Leave these things for others to clean up!"
"Come here, I have something to ask you!"
Taoye was squatting down to collect the white jade fragments when Rong Jiu called him inside.
"What happened just now?"
The little maid has always been aware of current affairs, how could she have rashly contradicted her elder sister just because she said something to her, putting herself in danger.
"Forgive me, Fifth Young Master, but I did lie in front of Madam just now!"
Tao Ye knelt neatly in front of Rong Jiu and apologized in a low voice.
Originally, she didn't want to hide it from the person in front of her.
"My mother was just a little dissatisfied with you today. It's understandable that you want to use this young master to gain some favor!"
He didn't like the private affairs of his wife, but he wouldn't blame the little maid for wanting to protect herself.
"Say it!"
Rong Jiu waved his hand to signal Tao Ye to get up.
"This slave came out of the house after hearing the call of greeting from the boy outside!"
"The servants saluted my eldest aunt. My eldest aunt's face was not very good, but she didn't embarrass us!"
As Taoye spoke, she gently touched her right arm.
When I was making tea and serving tea just now, the wound on my right arm was stretched a little, and it hurt a little now.
"But my eldest aunt didn't go to the main room, but she led the maids all the way to the study. The servant thought that there might be some important items in the fifth young master's study, so she stepped forward and stopped her. This made my aunt angry!"
"Auntie insisted on entering the study? Zhao Jin and the others didn't stop her?"
Rong Jiu's eyes darkened a bit.
"Stop it. Not long after I stopped my aunt, Manager Zhao also came out to speak!"
A "hou" and a "ye" indicate Zhao Jin's attitude. The little maid's words are quite interesting.
