Tang Yuan fell to his knees on the ground with a plop, begging Shen Tingsi with tears on his face:
"Second Miss, I really didn't steal anything. I don't want to be sold out. Please believe me!"
Before Shen Tingsi could speak, Nanny Li couldn't wait to sneer:
"You bastard thief, stop causing trouble for the Second Young Lady. If she protects you, won't others think you stole the First Young Lady's skirt at her behest?"
As she spoke, Nanny Li looked at Shen Tingsi maliciously:
"Second Miss is so smart, she wouldn't put herself in such a situation, right?"
Shen Tingsi clenched his fists.
He has said that if anyone dares to touch Tangyuan, he will kill that person no matter what.
As a result, the old man didn't take his words seriously at all and even dared to act rudely in front of him.
"Tangyuan, get up."
Shen Tingsi's voice was cold. Tang Yuan felt desperate when she heard it. She thought that the Second Young Lady really didn't want her anymore as Nanny Li said.
She was stupid and dumb, and couldn't say anything to defend herself. Her mind was still full of what Li Ma said, that if the Second Young Lady protected her, then the Second Young Lady would be the mastermind behind you.
She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears, then stood up without begging for mercy. She looked at Li Ma stubbornly, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the Second Young Miss."
Nanny Li smiled sarcastically and gestured to the two maids.
They came forward and grabbed Tangyuan's arms on the left and right, trying to take him away.
Shen Tingsi suddenly said:
"Let her go!"
The two maids saw his fierce look and loosened their grip on Tangyuan's hands.
Especially the one who had been beaten, she still remembered how cruelly Shen Tingsi had attacked her just now, and was afraid that this person would go crazy and slap her a few more times.
Nanny Li was very calm. She walked slowly in front of Shen Tingsi and sneered:
“This old servant also knows that the Second Young Lady only has this one maidservant by her side, so I am reluctant to let her go.
"But the eldest master has already said that after selling this maid, he will find a few more with good character to live in your room. Then your monthly allowance will be the same as the eldest lady's, and even the number of servants around you will be the same as the eldest lady's. Wouldn't you be satisfied with this?"
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, as if letting "Jiang Xiancao" have the same amount of food, clothing and other expenses as Jiang Huaizhu was a great gift to "Jiang Xiancao".
Shen Tingsi chuckled softly, "I don't want anyone else, I just want the glutinous rice balls."
Those who were newly chosen to "serve" him were probably hired by Jiang Jinyan to "set rules" for him.
Although Tangyuan is stupid and silly, he treats him sincerely.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. All the servants in Jiang Xian's thatched cottage ran away after she got into trouble. Only Tangyuan, an insignificant maid, stayed behind and took care of him without complaint. She even stood by his side without hesitation in front of people like Li Ma.
Tangyuan's loyalty to Miss Jiang Er has nothing to do with personal gain, but is simply because she is kind-hearted.
Although he is not the real Miss Jiang Er, he has to remember Tangyuan's kindness to her master on behalf of Jiang Xiancao, otherwise he would be a coward.
Hearing Shen Tingsi's words, Tangyuan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief.
The sneer on Li Ma's face was even more sarcastic. "Then Miss Jiang Er will have no say in the matter. Take the person away!"
The two maids were about to take action when they heard Shen Tingsi say quietly:
"Do you really think that just because the Emperor issued an imperial decree to dissolve my engagement with the Ninth Prince, he will no longer care about me?"
Nanny Li frowned slightly, then sneered:
"Even if the Ninth Prince still remembers you, so what? You've done things so ruthlessly that the Wen Ning Marquisate and the Ninth Prince have no further contact. Even if he is the current prince, he can no longer interfere in the internal affairs of our Marquisate!"
Shen Tingsi also laughed and said:
"In a while, the Empress Dowager will hold a blessing banquet. All the noble ladies and princesses of the clan will be present, and the Marquis Wenning's mansion will also have to send unmarried young ladies.
The Ninth Prince has already promised me that if he doesn't see Tangyuan and me at the banquet, he will make a big scene and let everyone at the banquet know that you, the Marquis of Wen Ning, don't even care about the imperial edict. For the sake of Jiang Huaizhu, the adopted daughter who deliberately framed her sisters, you insist on continuing to harshly criticize and abuse me, your legitimate daughter!
Even if the Wen Ning Marquisate could withstand all the gossip, if Jiang Huaizhu didn't marry the Ninth Prince, the Wen Ning Marquisate would have to find another marriage for her. If the Ninth Prince really made such a scene at the blessing banquet, would she still be able to marry in the future?
Nanny Li's expression changed, and she looked at him with anger in her eyes, "You, despicable!"
Shen Tingsi laughed loudly:
"If I hadn't learned to be more despicable, I would have been eaten alive by you dogs in this wolf den-like mansion. I just said it, if anyone wants to touch me, I will never let you go, even if we die together!"
Nanny Li took a few deep breaths and calmed down. She looked at Shen Tingsi deeply, then turned around and left with her two maids.
Shen Tingsi picked up the pomegranate skirt that she had just casually placed on the edge of the basket with two fingers and threw it at her like throwing something dirty, "Don't forget this expensive and stinky skirt of your young lady!"
Nanny Li folded her skirt angrily and quickly disappeared with her two maids.
Tang Yuan pulled the corner of Shen Tingsi's clothes and said cautiously:
"Miss, I really didn't steal the skirt. I don't know why it appeared among your clothes..."
Shen Tingsi asked her, "Why did you pass by Jiang Huaizhu's yard?"
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "It was a sister who came to the mansion at the same time as me who asked me out. She said she had something for me, but I waited for a long time but no one showed up."
