With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 307 I am a hopeless case There
was a slight noise in the palace, and everyone could hear it.
The nanny dared to do so, only because she was following the Queen's instructions and found the Second Prince's wife wrong.
But no one dared to say that what she said and did was wrong.
The Second Prince's wife Yao Ru was in so much pain, but she didn't make a sound.
No one pleaded for her, even her mother, Mrs. Yao, the Minister of Justice, who was kneeling behind her, was anxious but dared not show up.
Yao Ru straightened up again with numbness and effort.
The Minister of Justice next door was indifferent.
The Second Prince frowned, thinking that Mrs. Yao was really ignorant.
It was just a small matter of kneeling, and everything was fine in the past few days. How could something like this happen on the last day?
Which woman doesn't give birth to children? Who is as precious as her!
There were only female relatives over there, so he couldn't rush in, so he just spoke to make his position clear.
"Mammy. Yao is not dignified. I apologize on her behalf."
"I cannot bear the Second Prince's words. I am just a servant. You just need to apologize to His Highness."
As she spoke, she bent down to support Yao Ru, so that her body would not shake.
"Second Prince's Consort, please be careful. Do you want me to help you go down and have a rest?"
A slap and a date.
But would Yao Ru dare to agree?
She raised her eyes numbly: "It's my fault that I have troubled you to worry. My mother is kind and pity me, but I want to see the crown prince off for the last time."
The maid patted her hands: "It's no wonder that the queen often said that the Second Prince's Consort is very sensible."
After that, the maid looked at everyone sharply. She would not let go of anyone who was disrespectful to the crown prince in such an occasion.
Then she met Yu Tingwan's eyes.
Here, except for Yao Ru, she was the one who knelt the least standardly!
The maid's eyes were fierce.
Yu Tingwan shrank her neck and saw the maid coming towards her.
The nanny said nothing, but raised her hand to straighten Yu Tingwan's waist, which was gradually bent after kneeling for a long time.
The movement was not bold, and could even be described as gentle.
After doing this, the nanny strode back and slapped Shen Zhiyi behind her with a ruler.
"Miss Shen, what are you doing?"
Yu Tingwan:? ! ?
Although Shen Zhiyi is arrogant, she dare not turn her face away in such an occasion.
She knew the situation and said, "My legs... my legs are numb. I just moved slightly."
Shen Zhiyi's voice was obviously lacking in confidence.
The nanny sneered.
"How long has it been? It's not even half an incense stick. Others are not numb, why are you the only one who is numb?"
Shen Zhiyi:...
How does she know!
This old man, how can his eyes be so poisonous!
While she was hesitating, she saw Yu Tingwan's waist bent again in front of her.
This time was different from the previous time. She bent quickly and calmly. Obviously, she had spied on the nanny's attitude and became bolder.
The girl even listened to the noise, and turned her head curiously to look at her.
The moment their eyes met, she curved her lips towards her in a friendly manner, and then turned back.
Shen Zhiyi:...
Yu Tingwan has so many little tricks! Why don't you hit her!!!
She doesn't accept it!
But she only dares to accept it in her heart.
Shen Zhiyi endured the numbness from her legs, knelt down properly, and didn't dare to breathe.
After this commotion, the female relatives mourned the crown prince with extra piety.
Except for Yu Tingwan.
She didn't even lower her eyebrows, but began to look around.
She didn't know many people.
But Tan Jiang had mentioned the fifth prince's wife to her.
The kneeling position here is very particular.
The princes' wives are all in one place.
The position on the left of the second prince's wife is empty.
The left is the most respected, so the Crown Princess did not come. The third
prince died young and had no concubine.
The fourth prince was alive, but was not favored by Emperor Ying Qian. His biological mother was of low status and could not interfere with his marriage, so that the fifth prince had married a concubine, but the fourth prince had not made any move
. The one on Yao Ru's right is the fifth prince's concubine.
Tan Jiang said that the fifth prince's concubine looked kind, but she was the most cunning and vicious. She was plain-looking and could not tolerate the most favored concubine in the backyard. Not only did she deliberately frame him and catch him in bed, she also confirmed the crime and scratched the concubine's face and drowned her.
The fifth prince Ying Yin was not a foolish person.
This little trick could fool a woman, but how could it fool him?
But the concubine's body was indeed defiled.
He didn't need to argue with his wife for a concubine. Hurting the relationship between husband and wife was a small matter, but it was a big deal when it was spread to the palace and Emperor Ying Qian thought he was obsessed with women.
As a prince, what does he want?
The matter was left unresolved.
Yu Tingwan felt that the Fifth Prince's wife was nothing, and Ying Yin was nothing either.
The couple was a good match.
She didn't treat others as human beings.
The nanny helped her waist back and forth four times! She turned around and bent down again.
"You--"
Yu Tingwan: "Don't do it."
Nanny:? ?
Do I dare?
Yu Tingwan said weakly: "I'm so scared."
Nanny:...
I should be scared!
The nanny was so angry that the ruler in her hand was about to break. I have never seen such a person without vision! But neither beating nor scolding works.
After all, she is an old man in the palace. She first glanced at Ning Suchan next to her. Thinking that Ning Suchan always attaches great importance to rules, she should come forward and reprimand her.
But Ning Suchan did not respond.
She had to remind her softly.
"Madam Shunguo."
Ning Suchan looked as if she knew nothing, and raised her eyes slightly: "Madam, is there anything?"
She asked in a calm voice: "Forgive me for my fault. If you don't mention it, how can I know?"
Madam: ???
She had to sort out her words.
"The young lady of your mansion..."
Take care of it!
Ning Suchan glanced at Yu Tingwan and said in a calm voice: "May I ask if there is anything wrong with her?"
Madam:...
This question is too direct, how can she respond?
Seeing her hesitation, Yu Tingwan smiled considerately: "Yes."
Yu Tingwan said that she was also very troubled: "I am a hopeless case."
Shen Zhiyi: ???
I learned it!
But! I dare not use it!
Madam:...
So you know it! !!!
Yu Tingwan also asked in a soft voice: "Is it true?"
"Don't blame Madam for looking down on me."
Yu Tingwan: "Madam, I will accept the beating and punishment."
Madam was choked and speechless. Feeling a cold gaze on her, she looked over there and met Jiashan's eyes.
Jiashan almost put the word "protect" on her face: "Mammy, are you picking on my son?"
Mammy:...
Okay, this guy is even more difficult to deal with.
Gu Taifu is a great scholar and the head of the civil officials.
Wei Zhao is the head of the military generals.
They are all the targets that the Eastern Palace wants to win over.
"...No."
Jiashan smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "That's good, Yaoyao just came to the capital and doesn't understand many things. The rules, etiquette and red tape are all because of me, her mother, who didn't teach her. If Mammy thinks her words and deeds are inappropriate, just come to me. Don't bother with a child like her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Wu beside her nodded vigorously.
Jiashan had said so much, and she almost wrote the word "protect" on her face. How dare Mammy offend her?
