Chapter 266 Stop
The next day after breakfast, Shanhu asked, "Is the Crown Princess going to pay her respects to the old lady?"
"No."
She is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by them.
Besides, the princess asked her to pay her respects to the old lady every few days. Yesterday, Song Nanyue and the others put pressure on her, and the princess protected her. If she goes today, she will be too useless.
Not only will she not go today, she won't go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow either.
Chen Wan didn't go to pay her respects to the old lady for three consecutive days. She read books, admired flowers, fed fish, and took time to do some needlework every day. Her life was fulfilling and comfortable.
On this day, Xie Jingyu was out of the house, and Chen Wan had nothing to do, so she played the piano for the baby in her belly.
Yinchuan was serving on both sides. Shanhu was not there, as she had gone to Liuliyuan to deliver something.
Just as she was playing the instrument, a maid hurried in from outside, saying hurriedly, "Princess, this is bad, the old lady wants to beat Shanhu to death..."
Shen Wan frowned and stopped.
Yinchuan asked anxiously, "Why did the old lady want to beat Shanhu to death?"
The little maidservant said, "The Second Young Mistress gave a red jade bottle to the old lady. When the maidservant was delivering it, she bumped into Shanhu at the corner of the corridor and broke the red jade bottle. When the old lady found out, she was very angry and wanted to beat Shanhu to death..."
Shen Wan's face was gloomy.
She quickly got up and rushed to Wing Chun Temple.
Before she even entered the yard, she heard the sound of a board coming from inside.
Coral was pressed on the bench and was hit so many times that his butt was bleeding.
"Stop it!"
Not only did the two old women not listen, they also beat them severely with a stick.
Shen Wan's anger surged to the top of his head.
She walked over, snatched the board, threw it heavily on the ground, then turned around and slapped the old woman.
It was Shen Wan who beat her. The old woman dared not say anything, "I beat the maid on the old lady's orders..."
Shanhu lay on the bench, barely breathing. "I didn't hit the Second Young Madam's maid. She broke the red jade bottle herself..."
Coral has been with Chen Wan for many years, yet Chen Wan doesn't understand Coral.
She was pregnant, and those people couldn't control her, so they attacked the people around her and wanted to cut off her left and right arms.
It was the old lady who wanted to hit Shanhu. She was a step too late, and the old lady was about to beat Shanhu to death. She couldn't really do anything to the old lady.
Shen Wan was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Her cold eyes swept across the faces of the two women, "If you dare to hit me with a stick again without my permission, try it."
After leaving this sentence, Shen Wan walked to find the old lady.
Shen Wan's voice was not low, and the people in the room heard it.
Shen Wan walked around the screen and entered the room, only to see the old lady looking at her with a cold expression. Concubine Wen said sternly, "It was the old lady who wanted to beat the maid to death. Is the Crown Prince's Concubine going to disobey the old lady?"
Shen Wan said coldly, “Even if my maid made a mistake and the old lady wanted to beat her to death, she should have waited for me to come.”
The Second Madam said, "The Crown Prince's Consort is pregnant and has come here for a maid who made a mistake. What if she falls down in her haste? The old lady will not wrongly accuse your maid."
Chen Wan looked at Song Nanyan, "Shanhu has been with me for many years. I will compensate her for the red jade bottle."
Song Nanyan said, "I know my sister-in-law is rich, but that red jade bottle was given to me by the Queen Mother. It can't be bought with money."
The red jade bottle was actually given by the Queen Mother...
Shen Wan's eyes swept over the fragments of the red jade bottle held by the maid beside her.
Shen Wan walked towards the maid.
Seeing Shen Wan approaching, the maid subconsciously took a step back.
Shen Wan walked up to the maid and reached out to take the fragments, but was stopped by Xie Zhirou, "Be careful, sister-in-law, don't let the fragments cut your hands."
The more he tried to stop her, the more Shen Wan wanted to see.
Concubine Wen waved her hand and the maid was about to leave.
Shen Wan stretched out her foot, and the maid stumbled forward, dropping the tray in her hand.
The ruby bottle, which was already badly broken, was now shattered into pieces everywhere.
Concubine Wen angrily said, "What is the Crown Prince's Concubine doing?!"
Chen Wan said, "I just want to see the fragments of the red jade bottle, what are you taking it away for?"
Concubine Wen said, "I'm doing this for your own good!"
"unnecessary!"
The princess walked in from outside and the fragments just slid to her feet.
The princess asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Wan said, "My mother has arrived just in time. I wanted to examine these fragments of the red jade bottle, but Concubine Wen and the others wouldn't let me. I was afraid they would destroy the body and cover up the evidence, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort and leave these fragments behind."
She only brought the silver bracelet with her. Although Chen An was in the dark, she couldn't let Chen An show up unless it was absolutely necessary.
The Second Lady asked, "What's there to examine about the fragments?"
The princess glanced at Shen Wan, knowing what Shen Wan suspected, and immediately ordered, "Check."
Mother Zhao and Shaoyao, who were following behind the princess, squatted down and picked up the fragments of the red jade bottle, examining them as they went.
After checking for many blocks without finding any problems, Shen Wan was just starting to wonder if he had guessed wrong.
Shaoyao raised her head and looked at the princess, "Princess, this fragment has traces of stickiness..."
Shaoyao presented it to the princess for her review.
The princess glanced at the fragments, then her eyes swept towards Song Nanyue.
Song Nanyue's expression changed again and again.
Mother Zhao said, "We have this one too."
Shen Wan said coldly, “I’m actually curious, why is there a sticky mark on the red jade bottle that was just broken?!”
Song Nanyan opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Shen Wan said, "Speak! If you don't, I'll have someone report it to the police!"
Concubine Wen said, "You report to the police for a small matter, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at our Jingbei Palace?
Xie Zhirou chimed in, "That's right, sister-in-law, why are you being so aggressive..."
Shen Wan was about to explode with anger, "I was aggressive? If I had come a step later, my maid would have been beaten to death by you!"
Chen Wan looked at the princess, "A red jade bottle that was already broken deliberately bumped into my maid and pretended that it was broken by my maid. I want to beat her to death. Please, mother, make the decision for me!"
Originally, Chen Wan suspected that it was a deliberate plan to get rid of Shanhu.
When Shen Wan heard that the red jade bottle was a reward from the Queen Mother, he suspected that the red jade bottle was originally broken and was recycled to plot against Shanhu.
It's not like she hasn't done this before. When Chen Ti "broke" Chen Wu's piano, she glued the broken jade bracelet together to help Chen Ti and pretended that it was broken by Chen Wu.
It might not be a big deal to use the intact ruby bottle to cheat Coral, not to mention that it was a reward from the Queen Mother.
That's why Chen Wan wanted to check the ruby bottle. They stopped her and stopped her from checking, so Chen Wan was sure of it.
The old lady beat her personal maid to death with a stick. The princess would definitely come when she received the news, so she just had to delay until the princess arrived.
The princess's eyes swept towards Song Nanyan and landed on the old lady's face. "The Second Young Lady has solid evidence of framing the Crown Prince's Consort. Since the old lady is in charge of this matter, she should handle it to the end!"
The old lady looked unhappy. The princess was forcing her to deal with Song Nanyue.
Unfortunately, there was evidence left on the red jade bottle. She wanted to beat the maid to death because she had not checked it clearly before. Now she had to punish Song Nanyue.
Concubine Wen said, "Nan Yan just married into the family, Princess..."
"You have no right to speak here!"
The princess' voice was cold.
The old lady looked at Song Nanyan and said, "Go to the Buddhist temple and copy one hundred articles of family rules."
Shen Wan laughed when he heard this. "She framed me and nearly beat my maid to death, and all she had to do was copy a hundred articles of family rules?"
The old lady looked at Shen Wan with a cold look in her eyes.
The dignified old lady was forced like this by Shen Wan, and her dignity was completely gone.
The Second Madam laughed and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort wants to give the Second Young Madam the same number of strokes of the cane as the Old Madam gave her maid."
Shen Wan did think so, but she knew it was impossible.
Shen Wan asked, "Which maid took the red jade bottle?"
Yinchuan raised her hand and pointed at the maid following behind Song Nanyue, "That's her."
Chen Wan said, "As a personal maid, it is my duty to advise my master. The Second Young Madam's maid not only refused to advise, but also helped to scheme against my maid. Copying only a hundred articles of the family rules won't teach her a lesson. I want Shanhu to receive double the amount of beatings she received!"
The princess said, "Just do as the princess says."
"Drag him away."
