Chapter 16 I'll discipline this wretched maid for my aunt
Seeing that the princess's expression had finally changed, Shen Yujiao immediately pressed her advantage and said, "It's absolutely true, Aunt. It must be that the concubine didn't realize her place and said something to my cousin in private."
That's why my cousin rejected my grandmother's proposal. I heard that my cousin had only wanted her for a few days before she openly defied my grandmother's wishes.
If my cousin lets that wretched maid pester him any longer, she might become even more ambitious and ask him for a master's position.
Upon hearing these words, the princess's anger intensified. She immediately ordered, "Li Mama, Wang Mama, you two go to Xiao'er's courtyard and bring that lowly maid to me."
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Shen Yujiao suppressed her smugness and immediately stood up, saying very proactively, "I'll go with her. It'll be a good opportunity for Jiaojiao to help Auntie see how she doesn't know the rules."
The princess nodded and said, "Very well, go and see for yourself. If that concubine really does anything improper, come back and tell me carefully."
Shen Yujiao gave a curtsy to the princess, then, accompanied by two maids, stormed off towards Gu Nanxiao's courtyard once more.
This time, with Granny Li and Granny Wang accompanying them, and hearing that they were being escorted by the Princess Consort, the guards at the gate naturally dared not stop them and let them in.
Shen Yujiao pushed open the study door and looked around the room. She didn't see anyone, but upon closer listening, she could hear a soft breathing sound behind the screen.
She quickly walked around the screen and saw a stunningly beautiful woman with her hair down, wearing only an undergarment, sleeping on her cousin Nan Xiao's bed. This sight made her eyes turn red with jealousy.
Shen Yujiao ordered, "Drag the person off the bed!"
Two old women stepped forward on command, ripped off the brocade quilt without any politeness, grabbed Yunxi by the hair, and dragged her off the bed to the ground.
Yunxi, who was fast asleep, was startled by this sudden turn of events. She then nimbly rolled over and stood up, assuming a defensive posture.
She recognized the group of people who had barged in. The two old women were menacing, and the young woman in the lead also had an unfriendly expression.
Yunxi didn't act rashly. Instead, she took two steps back, maintaining her distance, and asked warily, "Who are you?"
Upon seeing the ambiguous marks on his neck, Shen Yujiao became even more enraged and lost her temper. Involuntarily, she imagined her aloof and cold cousin engaging in intimate acts with this lowly maid.
My cousin usually barely even glances at other women. But now he's indulging in lewd behavior during the day; this vixen must be seducing him.
Shen Yujiao did not answer Yunxi's question, but instead instructed the two nannies: "Drag this lowly maid away and teach her manners properly today."
Although the woman did not answer Yunxi's question, she could roughly guess that the person who could freely enter and leave the Yongwang Mansion and swagger around in Gu Nanxiao's courtyard must not be an ordinary person.
Moreover, the woman called Gu Nanxiao her cousin, so she must be from Gu Nanxiao's maternal family.
Despite having some suspicions about their identities, when the two old women were about to attack Yunxi again, she nimbly dodged them and grabbed their wrists, throwing them to the ground.
The heirs of all the major families must learn martial arts from a young age. Moreover, Yunxi is very talented in martial arts, and over the past ten years, he has won international championships in Sanda and free fighting.
Her grandfather would send her to a mercenary group every year for combat training. Therefore, even though the original owner's body was weak, it would be easy for her to not only knock down these two old women, but also kill them with a single blow.
It seemed no one expected this lowly servant to dare to rebel. Seeing that her subordinates couldn't subdue her, Shen Yujiao invoked the Princess's name to intimidate them, and she angrily rebuked her:
"This is outrageous! How dare you lay a hand on the people sent by the Princess? These two maids you hit were sent by the Princess to teach you, her servant, the rules. How dare you resist?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi sensed something was wrong; she was truly powerless to resist now. After all, within the Yong Prince's residence, she was in a position of complete vulnerability, at the mercy of others.
Moreover, she felt that, given her importance in Gu Nanxiao's heart, that man would never disobey his mother's orders just to protect her, his bed warmer.
At this moment, Yunxi felt a surge of anger. If revenge hadn't just begun, she would have liked to leave, find a place to hide her identity, and wait for the total solar eclipse to occur before leaving this place and returning to her original world.
Seeing that she dared not resist any longer, Shen Yujiao gave the two old women a meaningful look again. Because Yunxi had thrown them to the ground so hard earlier, the two old women were clearly driven by personal grudges when they struck again.
Two old women dragged Yunxi along, one on each side. Countless servants and maids witnessed this scene. Yunxi felt she had never felt so humiliated.
Fifteen minutes later, Yunxi was taken to Qingfeng Garden. Two old women dragged Yunxi to the princess and kicked her hard in the back of the knee, forcing her to kneel heavily on the ground.
Yunxi felt a sharp, intense pain instantly after her knee was struck violently. But the physical pain was far less intense than the humiliation she felt.
When she first woke up and learned that she had been reborn into the body of a concubine, she had expected to suffer such humiliation. But when these injustices were actually inflicted upon her, she still found it hard to accept.
But in just a moment, Yunxi suppressed those useless feelings. She had no choice but to accept the loss she had suffered today. Once she had avenged herself, she would leave this place immediately without the slightest regret.
Shen Yujiao bypassed Yunxi, who was kneeling on the ground, and came to the princess. She indignantly began to complain: "Aunt, didn't you see? This slut was actually seducing my cousin and doing those kinds of things in broad daylight."
Moreover, she brazenly slept on her cousin's bed. When the two nannies and I arrived, she was snoring away. It's clear she already considered herself the proper mistress.
Although the princess often caused unpleasantness between mother and son by interfering in their son's room affairs, she could not tolerate such unruly behavior today.
Therefore, after hearing Shen Yujiao's words, she slammed her hand on the small table beside her and shouted sternly, "What a lowly servant who doesn't know her place! Guards, teach her some manners!"
Shen Yujiao couldn't possibly miss such an opportunity. While placing her hand on the princess's chest to help her catch her breath, she feigned concern and advised:
“Aunt, please don’t get upset over this maid. It’s getting windy in the courtyard now. Why don’t you go back and rest? I will discipline her for you.”
