Shen Tingsi was in a bad mood, and when he heard her confusing right and wrong, he blurted out:
"Who do you think you are to be so presumptuous in front of me?"
Nanny Li was stunned. She never expected the Second Young Lady to react like this.
You have to know that she has a long history in the rear house of the Marquis' Mansion. Not to mention an unfavored younger female relative, even the Marquis' wife, who is in charge of the household, has to be polite to her for the sake of the old lady.
How dare a despised Jiang Xiancao look down on her?
When she spoke again, she sounded a warning, "Second Miss, insulting this old slave is a minor offense, but disobeying the orders of several young masters is a major offense. I hope you will consider the consequences of violating this family rule."
Shen Tingsi's eyes turned cold.
This marquis's mansion is really outrageous. A lowly slave actually dares to speak so arrogantly in front of the master's daughter.
But what opened his eyes even more was yet to come.
Nanny Li had lost all her patience when she saw him standing still. She raised her hand, and the two strong maids behind her rolled up their sleeves, grabbed one arm each, and roughly pulled him towards the ancestral hall.
Shen Tingsi struggled hard, but his weak body had no strength at all. In their hands, he was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered that could only flap its wings.
"Let me go, I can walk on my own!"
Hearing his shouting, Nanny Li sneered, "Second Miss, your legs aren't very strong, so let them take you on your way."
That attitude was clearly a response to Shen Tingsi, telling him that you are nothing.
Tang Yuan stepped forward to help, but was kicked away by Li Ma Ma. "What are you doing here, a third-class maid? Watch your back."
Shen Tingsi's eyes flushed red when he saw his maid being kicked.
The maids and servants who served him in the palace had to be treated with respect even by the court officials, and no one dared to give them a cold shoulder.
But now, he couldn't even protect the only little maidservant by his side.
Without the identity of a prince, does that mean he is nothing?
After being taken to the ancestral hall, two maids pushed him to the cold ground, forced him to kneel down, then locked the door and left.
Shen Tingsi struggled to get up, looked at the tablets of the Jiang family's ancestors, and said angrily:
"If you really are still alive, why don't you take care of your unworthy descendants and teach them to distinguish right from wrong and behave like human beings?"
After cursing, Shen Tingsi suddenly remembered that when he was still the Ninth Prince, he heard several times when he came to the Marquis' Mansion that Jiang Xiancao was locked up in the ancestral hall for "bullying" Jiang Huaizhu.
Did Jiang Xiancao also curse like him at that time?
But no one, whether it was the spirits of her ancestors or her living relatives, came out to make the decision for her.
Even her fiancé, who was supposed to protect her, was loyal to the person who framed her and never said a word for her.
It was even he who suggested letting her blood be given to Jiang Huaizhu.
Even though he was deceived by Jiang Huaizhu's acting skills at that time and thought that Jiang Huaizhu was really on the verge of death, which made him furious and lose his mind, what he did did hurt Jiang Xiancao too deeply.
He suddenly regretted it and thought how great it would have been if he had been nicer to her before.
And Jiang Huaizhu, he really couldn't understand how the girl who was kind and pure in his memory and had bravely saved him could become so hypocritical and hateful now?
…
On the other side, Jiang Xiancao returned to the palace and went to wash and change clothes tiredly after ending a farce.
Two beautiful personal maids came forward to serve her.
Jiang Xiancao had seen them before with Shen Tingsi. She knew that one of them was called Chaoyue and the other was called Huayi. They were both first-class maids in the palace and even had ranks bestowed by the empress dowager.
From the treatment of these two maids, it can be seen how favored Shen Tingsi is in the palace.
Jiang Xiancao made the excuse that she wanted to be alone and asked them to leave.
The maids looked at each other and retreated obediently outside the house, but did not leave.
"If Your Highness has any instructions, just call the servants and they will come in. We have also prepared the hot water for your bath, the rose petals for fumigation, and the scented oil for your body."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiancao in the room sneered.
This bastard Shen Tingsi really knows how to enjoy himself. Taking a bath is more than what a big girl asks for.
She was taking a comfortable bath in the bathtub made of warm jade. When she thought about the chaos in the Marquis' Mansion and the tragic punishment Chen Tingsi would suffer behind the scenes by Jiang Jinyan and others, she felt particularly happy.
Suddenly, Chaoyue's respectful voice came from outside the window:
"Your Highness, Eunuch Sun from the palace has arrived. I have arranged for him to wait for you in the flower hall."
Eunuch Sun?
Jiang Xiancao frowned and stood up from the bathtub.
If she remembered correctly, this eunuch Sun was a favorite of the emperor, and he must have come to the palace on the emperor's orders.
After wiping his body and putting on the crimson-purple python robe prepared by his maid, Jiang Xiancao slowly walked into the flower hall.
When Eunuch Sun saw her, he stood up with a smile and bowed to her.
"Ninth Prince, you haven't been to the palace for the past two days. The Emperor misses you and has ordered us to bring you into the palace to talk about our father-son relationship."
When Jiang Xiancao heard this, his head began to ache slightly.
It is said that fathers are strict and mothers are kind, and there is not much affection between father and son in the royal family, but this emperor is an exception.
Although he has so many sons, he only favors the youngest one, Chen Tingsi.
I have heard that Chen Tingsi is already an adult prince, and he has to go to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor every now and then.
Look, the emperor missed his youngest son so much after not seeing him for just a few days that he sent his trusted confidant to the palace to invite him.
