Chapter 19: She hit you, why didn’t you fight back?

The housekeeper bowed to Xie Yingmian with a forced smile.

"Princess, please understand. I am not targeting you."

"The palace has its own rules, and they must not be broken. You're new here, so you might not know..."

"How many ribs do you want to break?" Xie Yingmian interrupted the housekeeper.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment.

She suspected she had misheard and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

"Just like your sister, are three enough? If not, I can add more." Xie Yingmian said in a calm tone.

The housekeeper seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue.

Damn it.

She and her sister were separated since childhood and have different surnames.

No one in the palace knew that they were sisters.

Even my cousin doesn't know.

How could the newly married princess know this?

The housekeeper's eyes flickered: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I hit you for your own good. Your maid's words were really unpleasant to the ear."

"This is the palace, not your farm. The palace has strict rules. You can't take a wrong step or say a wrong word. This maid broke the rules, so I will give her a simple lesson."

"If you don't want to, I'll apologize to you..."

Bang!

Xie Yingmian was too lazy to listen to the nonsense and kicked the housekeeper out.

Accompanied by a few clicks.

The housekeeper had three broken ribs, no more, no less.

She turned pale with pain and lay on the ground screaming.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

The other maids who came with the housekeeper didn't expect Xie Yingmian to start a fight over a disagreement, so they hurriedly stood up.

They all knew that Xie Yingmian was raised on the farm by the Xie family and had no background.

The housekeeper is in charge of the entire kitchen, which is directly linked to their interests.

In comparison.

They would rather stand on the side of the housekeeper.

"Why do you always hurt people?"

"Yes, yes, Manager Wang didn't say anything wrong. She meant well."

"She might have acted a little too aggressively. Please be magnanimous and don't hold her against me."

The old women were talking at once.

His words were all accusations against Xie Yingmian.

Xie Yingmian glanced at the crowd calmly.

Her voice was still faint.

"Madams, this is wrong."

"I broke her ribs for her own good. She was really unpleasant in her words."

"This is the palace, and the rules are strict. You can't take a wrong step or say a wrong word. She broke the rules, so I simply taught her a lesson."

"Why, maids, do you think this palace belongs to this maid in charge? And I, the princess, can't teach her a lesson?"

Xie Yingmian returned the housekeeper's words exactly as they were.

The old women almost vomited to death.

They didn't dare to say yes and could only nod and smile awkwardly.

The housekeeper knew that she would get no good results if she stayed.

More importantly, she was in terrible pain.

The broken ribs kept pricking her flesh, and she felt excruciating pain every time she moved.

The housekeeper didn't dare to stay any longer and asked the accompanying maid to carry her away.

After the strangers left.

Xie Yingmian looked at Yumozuo.

Her tone was cold and serious: "She hit you, why didn't you fight back?"

Tamamo was stunned: "Fight back?"

"Can I... fight back?"

Xie Yingmian: "Why not?"

Tamamo was even more stunned: "But, she didn't say anything wrong."

"We lowly maids don't deserve such good food."

"It's common for us to be beaten and scolded. If we fight back, it will cause trouble for the princess."

"I just got slapped, it's no big deal."

The beatings I received before were much more severe than this.

Xie Yingmian sighed.

How could she have forgotten?

Except for Hongyao, these three girls are servants who do menial jobs.

The maids did the dirtiest and most tiring work, ate the worst and smallest meals, and received the most beatings.

These girls are probably used to being beaten and have long lost the will to resist.

"Remember this," Xie Yingmian said solemnly, "the past is the past, and the present is the present."

"You were the lowest servants in the Xie family before, and you didn't dare to resist. I don't blame you."

"but."

"From today on, you all belong to me, Xie Yingmian."

"You three are my maids, Princess Ling's maids. You are first-class maids. You represent my reputation and my status."

"Whether it's the housekeeper or the servant, if they dare to attack you, they will hit me in the face."

"If they dare to attack you, you must fight back fiercely."

Xie Yingmian's tone was cold and overbearing.

"I am a person who will not suffer any loss. If you follow me, you will not suffer any loss either."

"If I see you getting angry again, just leave. I hate stupid people."

Yumozuo and Zhuyue were stunned for a while after listening to Xie Yingmian's domineering words.

Immediately.

They nodded heavily.

They represent the princess's reputation and cannot be bullied by anyone.

Wen Ge couldn't hear their conversation.

She is smart and has made a rough guess based on cause and effect.

He nodded heavily as well.

Xie Yingmian saw that the beating was almost over: "Let's start eating."

Tamamo opened the food box.

Seeing those exquisite and delicious dishes, I cried with greed.

Such delicious dishes were something I never dared to imagine before.

"Princess, you eat first." Tamamo said.

"I've eaten, you guys finish it all." Xie Yingmian felt a little regretful.

She shouldn't have eaten that chicken.

I ate so much that I couldn’t eat a single bite of the delicious food on the table.

Mistake!

Hongyao was half dead and unable to move.

The three girls couldn't bear it anymore and gave some to Hongyao.

Xie Yingmian did not stop it.

Not kicking someone when they are down is a rare quality.

Hongyao cannot die for the time being.

Given Hongyao's eagerness to climb up the social ladder, she was looking forward to letting Hongyao return to the Marquis' Mansion and engaging in a dog-fight with Marquis Xie's wife.

The three maids were settled.

Xie Yingmian returned to the house.

The rooms in Prince Ling's Mansion are all very luxurious.

The bedding is all high-quality silk quilts.

Xie Yingmian lay down, feeling as if she was lying in a cloud, soft and comfortable.

Free time.

She finally had time to explore what was activated by the void stone.

She uttered a special password.

After the password matches.

A small space with a green glow and a length, width and height of ten centimeters appeared in front of me.

When I saw that palm-sized space,

Xie Yingmian almost laughed out of anger.

Good news, she actually brought some of her research results here.

Bad news, only one cubic decimeter was brought!

What is the concept of one cubic decimeter?

If you want to hold water, it can hold up to one liter.

Such a small space is not even enough to raise a small goldfish.

"It must be that the empty stone is too small and has limited energy." Xie Yingmian comforted himself.

Their research topic is the self-contained space of empty stones.

In the 29th century, when science and technology are developing rapidly, portable space is not a new term.

Ordinary portable space is built up by countless space tower base stations.

Countless space base stations are connected to each other, enabling specific transfers between spaces.

Anyone can take things stored far away through specific password signals.

The limitation is that those things cannot be taken out in places that the space tower cannot cover.

and.

Empty stone space breaks this particular rule.
