Only then did she repeatedly mention to her son that she was not feeling comfortable living in the capital.
After coming to Yangzhou, the old lady gained the most respect among the official families in Yangzhou because of her status as the son of the prefect and the daughter-in-law of a princess.
But even so, there were still many people who laughed at her openly or secretly, so the old lady hated it most in her life when others said she was "uneducated" and "shameful".
Now it's your turn to slap yourself in the face.
The old lady's face turned pale and blue, but Yuan Zhao didn't let her go and continued, "Madame Cui, I asked you to call someone, can't you hear me?"
She looked at Aunt Cui with a fierce look in her eyes, and Aunt Cui immediately became a little impatient, but she still stood there without moving, glancing at the old lady's face.
"Okay, since you don't want to call her, then I'll ask you." Yuan Zhao weighed Zhizhi in his arms. She was thin and small, and she didn't feel heavy even after he held her for such a long time.
Aunt Cui stood beside the old lady with an awkward expression on her face: "Madam, please ask this old servant anything you want to ask."
His tone was exactly the same arrogance as the old lady's, and even the servant beside the old lady didn't take Yuan Zhao seriously.
As soon as Aunt Cui finished speaking, Gan Tang shouted, "How dare you! Your Highness asks you questions and you must kneel down to answer!"
After saying that, Gan Tang gestured to Biyun beside him.
Biyun understood what she meant, stepped forward and grabbed Madam Cui's hands, then pulled Madam Cui to the middle of the inner hall with a backhand and kicked her in the knee.
Nanny Cui is already quite old, and has been serving as the head nanny beside the old lady for many years. She is considered precious, so how could she stand Biyun's behavior?
He knelt down immediately.
She looked up at Biyun, the little maid, in disbelief: "You! You! You!"
Biyun showed no mercy and slapped him: "Your Highness, if you are disrespectful when asking questions, I will beat you!"
Yuan Zhao watched as Nanny Cui's right cheek swelled up rapidly. Gan Tang and Bi Yun had been with her since childhood, and they used to be the head maids in the palace.
One of them is a scholar and the other a warrior. Biyun was born as a secret guard, but Yuan Zhao has been cultivating himself and his character over the years, and has put Biyun's abilities aside.
Now, Biyun rarely has the opportunity to show his strength, so he will not hold back.
The old lady was sitting upstairs. Biyun's slap was like a slap on her face. She was so angry that her chest hurt.
"Yuan Zhao! What are you going to do?"
Compared to the old lady's demeanor, Yuan Zhao was calm and composed, and said leisurely:
"Mother, what's wrong? After all, your daughter-in-law is the Shaoqing's legitimate wife and the mistress of this Wei Mansion."
"Madame Cui has repeatedly ignored the hostess's words, which is truly disrespectful. It's obvious that she isn't very attentive to her mother. Today, your daughter-in-law will take care of things for her, otherwise this house will be in chaos!"
