It turned out that the maidservant beside Shen Ningxue had no clue at all and did not even try to help her master.
Shen Chenyi frowned and thought to himself, this is useless. I will definitely ask my mother to replace this maid and choose a smart and capable one for my sister.
So he personally stepped forward to help Chen Ningxue.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ningxue just grabbed his wrist, lowered her head and sobbed, with no intention of getting up at all.
Is he injured somewhere?
After a while, Jiang Wanwan and others arrived.
Looking at the crowd gathered together, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Why are you gathered together?"
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Shen Chenyi squatting on the ground, and Shen Ningxue half-lying on the ground with tears on her face.
“This…what is this?”
"Chen Ningzhu, it's you again, right? You bullied Xue'er again? You vicious woman, how can you be so vicious at such a young age? I...I will fight you."
Jiang Wanwan's eyes turned red with anxiety.
She rushed towards Shen Mingzhu regardless of anything. Where was the elegance and dignity she had at the beginning?
Shen Chenyi hurriedly stood up and prepared to stop him, but he was a little far away and it seemed that he could no longer stop him. Shen Ningzhu sighed secretly and was ready to be beaten.
Before the other party could get close, Aunt Gui suddenly spoke.
"Mrs. Shen, calm down."
Chen Ningzhu:???
Everyone:???
Jiang Wanwan said coldly, "Madam Gui, please forgive me for not understanding what you mean. My daughter has been bullied like this, and Madam Gui is still trying to protect the culprit?"
Chen Ningzhu:???
How dare she think of covering up this?
Nanny Gui smiled and said, "Mrs. Shen, you are too serious. I won't go so far as to protect her."
"However, Madam, without any investigation, you directly assume that this matter is the work of Chen Ningzhu. Isn't that a bit too arbitrary?"
"Besides, even if it was her fault, so what? She was the woman publicly acknowledged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He still has the right to punish a woman from an official family."
Just a few words blocked Jiang Wanwan's way. She knew that what Aunt Gui said made sense, but when she saw her poor daughter, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Please forgive me for not agreeing with what you said, Madam Gui. Does being of noble status mean you can do whatever you want?"
Chen Ningzhu thought, in this ancient time when imperial power was supreme, didn't some royal nobles do whatever they wanted?
For example, she inexplicably became the antidote for the dog prince and should have been the victim. But what was the result?
Not only was she unable to redress her grievances or seek revenge, she was also forced to completely lose her freedom. Who could she tell about all this?
Aunt Gui said expressionlessly:
"Mrs. Shen, please be careful with your words. A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. There is no such thing as doing whatever you want."
"It's just that Chen Ningzhu is already His Royal Highness's person. If she needs to be beaten or punished, it's up to His Royal Highness to decide. As for other people, they have no right to tell her what to do."
Chen Ningzhu:???
Why was it that things were different from what she had imagined? No, it was completely different.
She is someone close to the Queen, and she shouldn't be tortured too much, or warned openly or covertly not to have any inappropriate thoughts. Isn't it possible for a lowly village girl like her to get involved with a man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a rare talent and a child of destiny?
Why are you still speaking up for her?
Nanny Gui turned her head to look at the stunned Shen Ningzhu, smiled and walked forward, kneeling slightly towards her.
"This old servant greets Miss Shen. May you be blessed, Miss."
Chen Ningzhu's mind was full of question marks. She helped Nanny Gui up blankly and stammered, "Nanny, please get up. You absolutely cannot do this. I'm afraid I can't bear it."
No, wait, her evil woman character...
My mind hadn't reacted in a moment, and the words had already been spoken. What should I do now? Is it too late to make amends? How should I make amends?
It's really terrible.
If the other party was not kind, she could still handle it with ease, but Aunt Gui was so friendly to her and supported her unconditionally, how could she still handle it?
She's not some big pervert!
When Aunt Gui heard her reply, her eyes were full of appreciation and she nodded at her with satisfaction.
Then he said, "Miss, have you rested well? I am here to teach you the etiquette of the palace. If you have rested well, can we start now?"
Yes, this is a breakthrough.
It is impossible for her to learn. As long as she makes the other party think that she is a useless person who cannot be taught at all and is lazy and doesn't want to learn, then their impression of her should be bad, right?
But what to do?
How could she bear to hurt such a gentle and beautiful nanny?
No, no, no, I would rather die than let my friend die. She can only be injured first.
Chen Ningzhu quickly prepared herself mentally, tilted her head, held her forehead and began to groan.
Aunt Gui was shocked. "What happened?"
Chen Ningzhu looked weak and said sadly, "To answer Madam, I'm fine, it's just... it's just..."
"Just what? Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely try to help you."
"But I'm so weak that I fall down easily at the slightest gust of wind. And the summer heat is especially unbearable."
"Just now, I came out for a while and I feel dizzy again. When I think about the rules I have to learn later, I...ah, what should I do with my body now?"
People around:???
Shen Ningxue almost fainted from anger. She clenched her palms tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
She used this pain to remind herself to be rational, otherwise, she was really afraid that she would not be able to resist and tear Chen Ningzhu's pretentious face apart.
What is this pretentious bitch talking about?
Is she weak?
Who was that person who had just slapped her in the face and nearly crushed her to death? Her chest still ached, not to mention her face.
I have long been numb and have no feelings at all.
With her strength, she's still weak?
In her opinion, she can even knock down a cow, right?
"Mother, I..."
After all her painstaking planning, the other party was unharmed, while she herself suffered the most.
Shen Ningxue was unwilling to give up and tried to attract the attention of Jiang Wanwan and Shen Chenyi. She took the opportunity to play pitiful and win their sympathy so that they would stand up for her.
I didn't expect to be interrupted by Aunt Gui just as I opened my mouth.
"So that's how it is. What's the big deal for me, this old slave?"
"It's okay. The Empress said that learning etiquette can't be rushed, but you can learn it slowly. If you really can't do it, you can learn it after entering the palace. Don't worry, young lady."
Shen Ningzhu was completely numb.
What kind of fairy queen is this?
This is a real feudal society, not a romance novel. A woman who can sit on the throne of queen must not only have a distinguished family background, but also have sufficient strategy and means.
Is it possible that a palace fighting champion is so easy to talk to?
She doesn't believe it.
There must be a deep meaning behind such practices.
Does the prince have some hidden illness or unknown habit, or does the queen intend to let her let her guard down first so that she can boil the frog in warm water?
