Ning Xihua turned her head and glanced at the maids following behind her, and the maids understood what she meant immediately.

One of the maids rushed forward and slapped the little maid named Hongniang on the face. The slap was so powerful and the sound was so clear that Ning Xihua's heart trembled subconsciously.

"Where did this lowly servant come from? How dare she be so rude to the princess!"

This slap stunned both Lin Mengli and Hongniang.

Before Hongniang could react, another maid was quick to kick her on the knee, making her fall to the ground. At the same time, two maids came up and held Hongniang down to prevent her from struggling.

As expected of someone from Prince Ning's Palace, his move was swift, accurate and ruthless. Half of Hong Jiu's face was visibly swollen. He was pressed to the ground with his face covered, unable to move, and could only sob in fear.

Lin Mengli was really about to cry this time, not because she felt wronged, but because she was about to cry because she was angry.

Hongniang is her personal maid. As the saying goes, one has to look at the owner before beating a dog. What is the difference between Ning Xihua's slap and slapping her in the face?

"Princess, I am the one who was rude. What's wrong with Hongniang?" Lin Mengli was so angry that she was shaking all over.

"How could she be so rude to the princess? It's the princess' kindness that she didn't take her to the government office. If Miss Lin has any opinion, I think she should be sent to the government office and have the Jingzhao Yin make an examination."

Song Yi said on the side that she hated this master and servant. Three years ago, they had caused the princess to suffer a lot of losses, but the princess only boasted about her strength and never really did anything to them.

Things are different now. The princess has grown up and is no longer the seemingly willful but soft-hearted girl. If the princess is really willful now, the whole Yizhou will be helpless against her, and she will not let these two people take advantage of her.

Lin Mengli secretly resented that it was very common for young ladies from aristocratic families to fight overtly and covertly. How could someone just slap someone in the face and then send him to the government office?

Just now I thought Ning Xihua had changed, but now it seems that she has changed, becoming even more arrogant and domineering than before! She doesn't even care about her dignity at all, isn't she afraid that it will get out and ruin her reputation?

"It's Hongniang's fault. I hope the princess will forgive her this time because she is so eager to protect her master."

Lin Mengli could only bow her head and submit.

Originally, she wanted Ning Xihua to cause trouble in Lingshan Temple, but she didn't expect her to be so bold. If her personal maid was sent to the government office, no matter what the reason, her reputation would also be damaged. She couldn't accompany Ning Xihua to go crazy.

"It seems that the servants of the Lin family are not very well-behaved, but they are all very loyal." Ning Xihua glanced at her feet. Hongniang had stopped crying, but was still covering her face and looking at her in horror.

"I hope Miss Lin will discipline the servants well after returning home. Otherwise, next time, it may not be as simple as a slap in the face." Ning Xihua said casually with a smile on her face.

In fact, she applauded herself crazily in her heart. Look, this is what a vicious female supporting role should be like. If you want to ruin her reputation, then she can drag the little white flower along to see who is crazier.

She is a princess after all. Little White Flower has not become a crown princess yet. She dares to fight back by sending a maid. Isn't this just asking for death? Is the heroine so brainless in the early stage? Or was she too easy to bully in the past?

"You haven't thanked the princess yet?" Lin Mengli said to Hongniang through gritted teeth.

Hongniang was still shaking, but when he heard his master speak, he quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your forgiveness."

Ning Xihua signaled the nanny to let go. Xiao Baihua looked patient and thanked her before leaving in a hurry with her loyal maid.

Song Yi, who was standing by, felt very happy: "This master and servant cried all day long, always acting like the princess bullied them. Today they finally vented their anger. The princess is really amazing."

Ning Xihua continued to admire her newly painted fingernails, looking as if it had nothing to do with her. "It's not that great, it's just that I really bullied them this time."

Song Yi burst out laughing when he heard this and looked at his own princess with a reproachful look.

The maids behind them also smiled, and looked at Ning Xihua with more loving eyes. It is said that a tiger father will have a dog daughter. The princess now looks generous and calm, full of nobleness, and is truly worthy of the Ning Palace.

The little monk who had been waiting by the door couldn't help laughing. He hadn't even dared to say a word just now, for fear of getting into trouble.

Today, Princess Yuexi is not as savage and willful as the rumors say. She is very generous and open-minded, and has the character of a daughter of a general. On the other hand, Miss Lin, who has always had a good reputation in the outside world, has fallen behind in comparison.

The little nun saw that it was almost time and estimated that Master Hui Ku's previous guests should have left, so she prepared to take Ning Xihua to see Master Hui Ku.

Ning Xihua followed him through the carved door, and when she looked up, she saw a man in blue standing behind the door.

Seeing her looking over, the man nodded slightly in greeting, his eyebrows and eyes were like water, and his temperament was cold. It was indeed a breeze and bright moon, but there was something meaningful in his eyes.

Ning Xihua was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this the man in white whom she met on the boat before?

When she got off the boat, she felt a little nervous, fearing that seeing this man murder someone to silence them would lead to some trouble.

But when they really met again this time, the stone in her heart fell to the ground.

This person could have been so active in Lingshan Temple, so he must be a royal relative or a high-ranking official. Judging from the situation, it is estimated that they will inevitably meet in the capital in the future.

Xian Yuxi said, since there is no way to avoid it anyway, why bother talking about the consequences? Well, just do whatever you want.

But this person today was a little different from the one he had seen before. If it weren't for the fact that his face was still as stunning as it was under the moonlight that night, Ning Xihua would have almost failed to recognize him.

How should I put it? The face was still the same, but the whole feeling she gave him was different.

That night, the man was dressed in white and had a cold expression. He looked dangerous and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.

The man in front of me now, although he has handsome features, his face is pale. He is wearing a thin blue robe, which makes him look even weaker. Overall, he looks like a gentle and frail young man with noble manners and a gentle and gentle temperament.

Ning Xihua couldn't help but complain inwardly, wow, this young man has two faces.

But could this person have been standing here eavesdropping all along? He didn't make a sound and was elusive.

Ning Xihua didn't care whether the little episode between her and Lin Mengli was seen by anyone, but she still felt a little uncomfortable looking at the meaningful look of the man in front of her, and always felt that this person was plotting against her.

She recalled the way he looked at her that night on the boat, and her neck tightened. This man must be a big shot, but he just slipped away.

The young nun who was leading the way had not expected anyone to be there. She put her hands together and bowed to the donor, then signaled Ning Xihua to follow him.

Ning Xihua also hurriedly nodded perfunctorily in the direction of this person, then followed the little nun through the corridor without looking back.
