Upon hearing his words, Yang Liu abruptly withdrew her hand. She opened her eyes, crying and laughing at the same time, and shook her head at Sang Hongfu: "Master, you must know, right? Isn't it the First Madam?"
Sang Hongfu looked at her and pulled her hand into his own: "It wasn't her, she was with me at the time."
Yang Liu looked at Sang Hongfu suspiciously, clearly not believing his words.
Before Sang Hongfu could say anything more, he heard footsteps behind him.
He turned around and saw a maid bowing to him: "Master, Chunhe, the princess's maid, has arrived."
Sang Hongfu frowned: "Why is she here?"
The maidservant kept her head down, not daring to look up: "She said the princess ordered her to come and see the aunt."
Sang Hongfu waved his hand impatiently: "Let her in."
He desperately didn't want Princess Luoying to know about this matter. After all, it was a family scandal, and he knew the principle that family scandals should not be aired in public. However, the whole manor was in an uproar last night, so it was hard for her not to know about it.
Chunhe walked in from outside, carrying a box in her hands. She curtsied to Sang Hongfu and said, "This servant greets Your Excellency the Prime Minister. My princess heard that Aunt was injured last night and felt deeply apologetic, so she specially ordered this servant to bring Aunt this century-old ginseng to help her recover."
Sang Hongfu nodded: "This old minister thanks Your Highness the Imperial Concubine. I appreciate Your Highness's kindness, but I don't know why Your Highness feels guilty."
Chunhe handed the ginseng in her hand to a maid and said with a smile, "Yesterday, my aunt accidentally offended my princess. The princess was so angry that she scolded the madam. I just didn't expect the madam to... I'm sorry for speaking out of turn."
As she spoke, she curtsied to Sang Hongfu, then stopped speaking at just the right moment.
Hearing her words, Sang Hongfu couldn't help but frown. She looked at Yang Liu and asked, "But she punished you?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Yang Liu nodded gently: "This concubine, this concubine only reminded the madam when she saw that the princess was unhappy. As a result, the madam hit this concubine in front of the princess's courtyard gate, and... and locked this concubine and Xiao Hui in the woodshed."
She cried even harder at this point, and could barely continue speaking: "I accept all of this, but I never imagined that the First Madam would be so vicious. She actually set fire to the house, trying to kill me and my unborn child!"
After saying that, she pulled the blanket over herself, covering her head completely, and started sobbing under the covers.
Chunhe looked at the two of them with slight embarrassment and said, "Prime Minister, I have conveyed the princess's wishes. My aunt needs to rest, so I will not disturb her any longer."
Sang Hongfu then remembered that Chunhe was still there. He nodded and said, "Alright, Miss Chunhe, please make yourself at home."
Chunhe curtsied to him and turned to leave.
As soon as Chunhe left, Sang Hongfu exploded. He looked at the butler and gritted his teeth, saying, "Go and bring Liu Furong over to me!"
The butler bowed his head, gave a quick reply, and hurriedly left the room, running outside.
As Yang Liu listened to Sang Hongfu's words from inside the quilt, a chilling glint flashed in her eyes.
Since Liu Furong dared to lay a hand on her, then she shouldn't blame her!
However, Princess Luoying surprised her quite a bit. She thought Princess Luoying was going to help the First Madam, but she didn't expect her to help her. It seems that she may not be an enemy after all.
As Yang Liu thought about it, she began to narrow her eyes and start scheming...
