Chapter 42 Contraceptive Drug 2

Seeing Shen Tang approach, she curtsied to her: "This old woman, Granny Liu, greets the Crown Princess. I have been instructed by the Eldest Princess to instruct the Crown Princess on manners."

When Shen Tang saw Granny Liu's familiar, stern face, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her hands began to ache slightly.

This Granny Liu was the eldest princess's wet nurse and was highly regarded by the princess. Because of this relationship, she was so arrogant that she didn't even respect the princess, who was the crown prince's wife.

When he taught her manners in his past life, he was very strict with her. If she did anything wrong, he would hit her with a ruler.

She expressed her dissatisfaction, but was silenced by her statement, "I am following the orders of the Princess. If the Crown Princess has any complaints, she can speak directly to the Princess."

During the period when she was learning the rules, the backs of her hands and arms were almost always red and swollen.

Now, this evil spirit has returned...

With the strict upbringing she received in her past life, she believed that her current manners and etiquette were impeccable.

As expected, when Granny Liu tested her manners of conduct, she did not find any faults.

Just as Shen Tang sat down to choose her dishes for dinner, the ruler suddenly struck the back of her hand.

Shen Tang cried out in pain, her fingers loosened, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

Meng Huaiyan's face darkened instantly. He took her hand and saw that Shen Tang's entire hand was red and swollen, which showed how much force he had used.

He wouldn't even lay a finger on her, how could she dare!

Meng Huaiyan stared at her with eyes that seemed to be filled with ice: "Granny Liu, are you completely disregarding me?"

Granny Liu curtsied to him, but her words were not very respectful: "Your Highness, this old servant is here on the orders of the Princess to teach the Princess Consort manners."

“It is against the rules for the Crown Princess to start eating before you have started. This old servant did nothing wrong.”

Meng Huaiyan sneered: "You're using my mother to pressure me?"

Granny Liu lowered her head and brows, saying, "This old servant dares not."

“Granny Liu, I respected you because you were an old servant of my mother, which is why I gave you some face. But I never expected that you would forget your place.”

"You are nothing but a lowly slave."

Granny Liu's face stiffened slightly, and she said coldly, "This old servant has not forgotten her identity. This old servant is just following the rules and has done nothing wrong."

Meng Huaiyan chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Since you like to talk about rules, why don't you tell me how to punish a servant who disobeys his superior?"

Granny Liu looked unwell and did not answer.

Qiao'er, who was standing to the side, spoke up angrily: "Your Highness, if this servant has committed insubordination, according to the rules of the Meng family, he shall be punished with twenty strokes of the cane."

Meng Huaiyan's eyes were filled with hostility as he said to Qingyang, "Take him out and beat him."

Granny Liu was over fifty years old. Twenty strokes of the cane would have left her half-dead, if not dead.

Granny Liu finally panicked and struggled fiercely in Qingyang's hands, shouting loudly, "Young Master, I am the Princess's person, you can't treat me like this!"

"This old servant is merely following the Princess's orders. Aren't you afraid she'll get angry if you do this?"

Meng Huaiyan was annoyed by her shrill voice. Seeing this, Qingyang quickly covered her mouth and dragged Granny Liu outside.

Soon, the sound of a board hitting flesh and Granny Liu's painful wails could be heard from the courtyard.

Meng Huaiyan pulled Shen Tang's hand and sat her down on the stool. He carefully examined her wound and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no bleeding.

Seeing her stunned expression, Meng Huaiyan asked softly, "Were you frightened?"

Shen Tang looked at him without saying anything, only shaking her head.

She just didn't expect Meng Huaiyan to stand up for her.

After all, Granny Liu was the eldest princess's wet nurse, which made her different from other servants.

But he showed no regard for the princess's feelings and beat her without hesitation.
