"You...you bunch of lowly slaves! I'm going to find the Prince!"
Chu Yun, his hands trembling, angrily pointed at the maid at the door and cursed.
Then she stood up, ignored everything, and walked out of the room, intending to go find Prince Xiao herself.
Now that she has entered the Xiao Prince's mansion, how well she lives there from now on will depend entirely on the Xiao Prince's favor.
Today is her first day married into the Prince's mansion. If she spends her days alone in an empty room, it means that in the eyes of the people in the mansion, she is not favored.
The status of a concubine was already bad enough, but now she had to seize the prince's favor and make all the servants understand that she was not to be offended.
"Girl, you can't go over there!"
The maid immediately chased after her and blocked Chu Yun's way, preventing her from going to see Prince Xiao.
Get out of my way!
Chu Yun sternly rebuked him.
But the maids still wouldn't let him pass, so Chu Yun tried to force his way in and ended up fighting with the maids.
Chu Yun was no match for the two maids, but she was determined to see Prince Xiao, so she refused to back down and fought desperately with the maids.
Before long, she was in a sorry state, with all her hairpins and jewels in disarray and her hair disheveled.
In the end, she was held down by two maids who tried to drag her back to her room.
"Yoona! What happened?"
But at that moment, King Xiao suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.
He saw Chu Yun being carried away by two maids like a chicken, and immediately ran over anxiously.
"Waaah... Your Highness, please, please save Yun'er!"
When Chu Yun saw King Xiao approaching, he immediately burst into tears and began to complain.
"Let go! What are you lowly slaves doing?"
Prince Xiao coldly rebuked the maid, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The maidservant shuddered, released her hands, and immediately knelt on the ground to explain.
"Your Highness, it was Miss Yun'er who didn't know the rules and insisted on leaving the room to find you. I had no choice but to stop her."
"Hmph, you're bullying me! Two of you against one of me! Your Highness, you must stand up for Yun'er!"
The maid had barely finished explaining when Chu Yun immediately retorted.
King Xiao naturally trusted Chu Yun. He looked at the kneeling maid, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Guards, drag them away and beat them to death with sticks!"
"No! Your Highness, spare us! Your Highness, you can't kill us! We were sent here by Granny Wen!"
The maid was so frightened that she begged for mercy.
But when Prince Xiao heard the name of Granny Wen, he became even more furious, as it reminded him that the Emperor had sent people to monitor him.
"You have committed insubordination. No matter who sent you, you are in the wrong. Do I not even have the right to punish a mere servant?"
King Xiao gritted his teeth and said.
He can't defy the emperor, so can't he take his anger out on the two maids?
Anyway, he had his reasons for punishing her.
At King Xiao's command, the maid was immediately taken away. Among the other maids watching, one of them looked reluctant and quietly slipped away while King Xiao carried Chu Yun into the house.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Please, please go and save Sister Chunfu and the others!"
The maid stumbled into Chu Yan's courtyard and knelt down in front of her with a thud.
Chu Yan was embroidering a handkerchief under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard when she was startled to see the maid suddenly kneeling in front of her.
"What happened? What's wrong with Chunfu?"
Chu Yan asked curiously.
She remembered Chunfu, the maid who used to be in charge of organizing clothes in her courtyard. She was very cheerful and always had a smile on her face when she greeted her.
"The prince wants to beat Sister Chunfu to death because Sister Chunfu wouldn't let the prince's concubine break the rules and go to the prince. That concubine complained, and the prince wants to beat them both to death! Waaah... Your Highness, please save Sister Chunfu!"
The maid sobbed.
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan immediately stood up from the stool.
"Take me there now!"
Regardless of the circumstances, Chunfu did nothing wrong. On Chu Yun's very first day in the manor, Prince Xiao wanted to kill someone for her sake. This was simply too much!
When Chu Yan arrived at Chu Yun's courtyard with a group of people, they heard Chun Fu and the others screaming in agony.
"Stop it right now!"
Chu Yan looked at him coldly and shouted at the servant who was beating him.
Then, Chu Yan quickened her pace and walked up to Chun Fu and the others.
"Your Highness, this is the Prince's order."
When the servant saw Chu Yan coming to stop them, he looked miserable and said...
"I told you to stop. If the prince has any objections, let him come to me and say it was my order!"
Chu Yan felt heartbroken when she saw Chun Fu's clothes soaked in blood, and tears welled up in her eyes.
King Xiao has gone too far!
For the sake of Chu Yun, who broke the rules, the servants were punished so cruelly.
"Someone, quickly call a doctor to come and examine Chunfu and the others!"
Chu Yan then instructed the servants.
Meanwhile, Chu Yun, who had been listening to Chun Fu's screams with satisfaction inside the house, curiously led Prince Xiao out when the sound disappeared.
"elder sister?"
Chu Yun asked in confusion.
Feeling Chu Yun's gaze, Chu Yan had Chun Fu taken away, and then walked up to them with her maid.
She glanced coldly at Chu Yun and Prince Xiao, "Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate for you to brutally beat and kill servants in the manor for the sake of a lowly concubine?"
"Sister, he's just a servant. Can't the prince punish him?"
Before King Xiao could speak, Chu Yun spoke in a sweet, coquettish tone, appearing to be defending King Xiao.
"Shut up! You have no right to speak here. A lowly concubine like you is not qualified to speak in front of me."
Chu Yan reprimanded Chu Yun without any mercy.
"elder sister......"
Chu Yun called out in grievance, then hid behind Prince Xiao, looking too scared to speak.
King Xiao's face was now tinged with anger, and he looked at Chu Yan with displeasure.
"Enough! He's just a servant; I can kill him if I want. What are you doing, Yan'er?"
"Does Your Highness think I'm making a scene? What did this maid do wrong? Chu Yun is just a lowly concubine who doesn't follow the rules, so it's only right for the maid to remind her."
"This lowly concubine has broken the rules and tried to leave the room. Shouldn't she be punished? What, does she, a mere concubine, dare to act like a princess?"
Seeing Xiao Wang's protection of Chu Yun, Chu Yan was immediately enraged and retorted sharply.
Hearing Chu Yan repeatedly refer to her as a lowly concubine, Chu Yun felt a surge of resentment.
She looked at Prince Xiao with a wronged expression and tugged at his sleeve.
She kindly advised, "Your Highness, it's all Yun'er's fault. The Princess is right. You shouldn't argue with the Princess. Yun'er doesn't want to put Your Highness in a difficult position."
On one side is Chu Yan's aggressiveness, and on the other side is Chu Yun's gentleness and consideration. In comparison, Prince Xiao, who originally wanted to take Chu Yan into consideration, is now even more dissatisfied with Chu Yan.
"So what if she's a lowly concubine? I'm going to kill a servant for her sake. What can you do about it?"
