Chapter 3 The concubine beat up Consort Xu's person

After another round of lovemaking, Yunxi's eyes were filled with sorrow, and her weak and powerless appearance made it clear that she had been truly bullied.

Gu Nanxiao's throat bobbed, and he refrained from further recklessness. He forcibly suppressed the rising lust and coldly ordered towards the door, "Mo Yu, go and fetch some... medicine for women's injuries."

Upon hearing the order, Mo Yu waved to Qian Yu, who had also heard the order, signaling him to carry it out.

But Qianyu hesitated for a moment and didn't move. When Moyu cast an inquiring glance at him, he asked humbly, completely bewildered:

"The master didn't specify whether it was a knife wound, a whip wound, or a penetrating wound? There's no way to find medicine for that!"

Mo Yu looked at this idiot who had just been released from the training camp, wishing he could stare a through wound into his head. After sighing, he vanished from the spot.

Mo Yu found an old nanny and got a bottle of ointment from her, which he then gave to Zi Su to take into the bedroom.

At this moment, Gu Nanxiao had already taken a cold shower, changed into his court robes, and gone out.

Yunxi ordered the food to be brought into the room and had breakfast in Gu Nanxiao's bedroom. She naturally saw the maids and servants sent by the princess, whose eyes all revealed disdain, but she still ignored them and continued eating.

After the meal, she didn't return to her dilapidated side room but went straight to sleep on Gu Nanxiao's bed. She knew that as a concubine, this was against the rules.

But she understood even more clearly the principle that one's foundation is what it is. If she had played the role of a lowly servant from the very beginning, she might never have had the chance to fight for equal rights for herself.

The servants looked at each other, but ultimately dared not question anything. After all, everyone knew the temperament of the master of the mansion. Without his tacit approval, how could this maid dare to act recklessly in his room?

The Empress Dowager has already informed the Emperor about what happened in Gu Nanxiao's room last night. After hearing about this, Prince Yong also submitted a memorial requesting the conferment of the title of Heir Apparent at the morning court session this day.

Upon hearing the news, the princess was overjoyed, finally able to vent the resentment she had been suppressing.

She immediately ordered people to prepare the side courtyard next to Gu Nanxiao and give it to Yunxi to live in. Poor Yunxi hadn't even had a chance to get enough sleep before being woken up by Zisu and sent to the side courtyard to receive this reward.

Yunxi looked at the various rewards without any emotion. She casually grabbed a few bracelets and jade bangles from the box and gave them to the newly assigned maids.

Two second-class maids, four third-class maids, two governesses, four rough-working women, and the four guards at the gate all received rewards.

Because of the princess's change in attitude, the servants no longer dared to treat this concubine with disrespect. Moreover, the eldest son, who had always been indifferent to women, actually favored her last night.

I heard that, including this morning, the room has called for water three times. This is truly the strangest thing in the entire mansion.

Now, having received such a generous reward from her, he couldn't help but marvel at how generous his mistress, who was only slightly above him in rank, was.

Just as Yunxi was about to go back to catch up on her sleep, she was greeted by a group of uninvited guests, who were servants sent by Consort Xu, the favored concubine of Prince Yong.

Two old women and four maids. Under the guise of delivering rewards, they were actually there to provoke and mock people.

Yunxi recognized the two leading old women; it was their humiliation that drove the original owner to suicide by drowning in the lake in grief and indignation. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them murderers.

Since they've come to us of their own accord, let her seek justice for the original owner.

The two old women swaggered into the room without being announced, looking down at Yunxi with haughty disdain, as if they were even higher than their mistress, and placed the insignificant rewards on the dressing table.

Then, they resorted to the same old trick and began to verbally humiliate him:

"Oh~ Weren't you supposed to be a chaste and virtuous woman? Did you get too comfortable with being slept with and don't want to die anymore?"

"Don't you dare insult the term 'chaste and virtuous woman.' She's just a slut, a whore, she doesn't deserve it..."

Yunxi listened quietly and carefully to what they had to say. As the saying goes, too much talk leads to mistakes, and if she wanted to find out their faults, she had to give them a chance to speak.

Yunxi's calmness made the few people who were cursing red-faced gradually realize that something was wrong.

Seeing their momentum waning, Yunxi immediately added fuel to the fire, retorting, "It's my skill to be favored by the young master. If it were you, you wouldn't even be able to get close to him, let alone drink his foot bath water!"

Yunxi's few words indeed reignited their fighting spirit, and they unleashed even more vulgar and offensive insults like a torrent of beans.

Just as the servants were all red with anger, and Zisu was already in tears, Yunxi raised her hand to stop their cursing. She summoned the guards at the gate and the rough old women in the courtyard, who subdued the six people and slapped each of them thirty times.

In the Yong Prince's mansion, the Princess Consort and Consort Xu have always been at odds. However, Consort Xu is favored by the Emperor and has the Empress's backing. Over the years, the Princess Consort has never gained the upper hand in Consort Xu's hands.

Therefore, when Yunxi ordered them to slap themselves, none of them dared to do so immediately. Yunxi seemed to sense their hesitation and calmly instructed:

"Just do as I say, and I'll take full responsibility for the consequences."

Upon hearing this, the servants did not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed forward, restraining the two old women and four maids, and slapping them repeatedly across the face.

The people in Consort Xu's courtyard were arrogant all day long, and everyone in the Princess's courtyard hated them. Now they finally had their chance.

Moreover, someone else would take the blame. Why don't they take this opportunity to vent their anger for the princess? Even if the prince blames her, they can just push all the blame onto this concubine.

After a series of slaps, the once arrogant maids and nannies all had swollen cheeks and traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.

But his eyes were fixed on Yunxi with extreme resentment, and he threatened, "When the Prince returns from court, he will not let you off the hook, you little slut. No one in the manor dares to lay a hand on Consort Xu's people!"

Yunxi ignored their shouts, waved her hand and ordered the guards to drag the six people to the prince's courtyard, where they would be dealt with after the prince left court.

Then she summoned Zisu and two second-class maids, instructing them to go with her. Yunxi gave instructions to the three of them:

"No matter what Consort Xu says, don't say a word. Just wait until the Prince returns to the manor, then pick up this line from him and say it at the end..."

After the six servants were taken to the prince's courtyard, the news that the newly arrived young master's concubine had slapped a servant in Consort Xu's courtyard spread like wildfire throughout the entire prince's mansion.

Upon hearing the news, Consort Xu's eyes lit up with excitement. As if she had seized some kind of leverage, she led her servants and strode confidently toward the Prince's courtyard.

Although the princess felt very pleased about this matter, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Even if it was just a maidservant, she was still someone from her son's room, and she absolutely couldn't let her be at a disadvantage.

So the princess, along with a group of servants, hurried toward the prince's courtyard.

When Prince Yong and his son returned from court, before they even entered the mansion, a servant came to report that Yunxi had assaulted someone.

After hearing this, Prince Yong strode toward the main courtyard with a gloomy expression, while Gu Nanxiao followed behind him without saying a word, his eyes filled with a dark and unfathomable look.
