"Pull these two damn girls apart!"
Two maids reached out to pull them away, but Zhao Liya kicked them away one by one. She ignored the two who fell and screamed in pain, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Chunfen and Qiuyun, please step back. Don't get involved in this kind of thing."
Qiuyun opened her eyes wide.
Even Chunfen looked stunned!
She has never seen the majesty of her own lady!
You have to know that when she became Zhao Liya's maid, Zhao Liya had already passed the stage where she needed to rely on her strength to gain a foothold.
Zhao Liya glanced at the stunned Mrs. Zhou and Aunt Bai, then smiled. "The prince said he was afraid I would be bullied, so he taught me some martial arts. I thought it was quite interesting, so I studied it seriously. Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good."
“You, you—”
Zhao Liya smiled slightly: "Old lady, if you are sick, you should take good care of yourself. Being too angry is not good for your health. These people are useless. Do you think you can call in more maids and servants?"
Old Mrs. Zhou's expression suddenly became even uglier.
There were indeed many servants at Heyuan, but who knew how many of them were spies planted by the Duke's family? Old Madam Zhou knew this all too well. She had once thought hard about ferreting out all of these people, but it was obviously too difficult.
After all, this huge Duke's Mansion belongs to the Duke's family, so it is very easy for them to place people anywhere.
Even if Old Lady Zhou really found out who had been placed there and then found a reason to kick them out, so what? The Duke could still place someone else there.
Or threaten or bribe the original person.
This is an easy thing for him to do.
Old Mrs. Zhou simply gave up, but she naturally carefully selected the people who served her closely and ordered people to check them again and again in secret.
For example, what she was going to do at the moment, she naturally only told her confidants.
Although there were still many servants in the He Garden, she could call them all over with just one word.
But, it’s not possible!
Those people are not all her people. It is hard to say whether they will listen to her when they come. They might even laugh at her.
Old Madam Zhou's eyes were filled with resentment. "Zhao Liya, how could your parents raise you to be so shameless? Didn't I make my words clear enough? You're an exiled convict who's been in prison. How can you claim to be innocent? The Duke and his son must be out of their minds to agree to this marriage! Instead of being a more honest person, you're still so arrogant. You're truly, truly shameless!"
Zhao Liya knew that the old lady was simply relying on her seniority to humiliate her unscrupulously. Others would not dare to say that, even though there were many people who thought so.
If she doesn't say anything, then just pretend she doesn't exist.
The old lady is old, so there is no need for her to bother with her.
"You can just vent your anger behind closed doors. I won't argue with you. I don't need to prove my innocence to anyone, and I've never thought of proving it to anyone. But even so, the prince insisted on marrying me. The prince was sincere, so I married him. It's that simple. Old lady, if this is all you can say, then forget it!"
"I don't care, and neither does the prince. But what we don't care about is not these words, but your identity. You can say it, but it's hard to say for others."
Don't bother with her, but you will have to bother with others.
Old Madam Zhou was even more angry. "Who knows what tricks you used to make him addicted! Zhao Liya, just wait and see. The prince will eventually come to his senses. When that happens, hmph!"
Zhao Liya smiled slightly: "Then we'll talk about it later, old lady, I won't disturb your rest. Goodbye."
Zhao Liya turned and left with Chunfen and Qiuyun.
Neither Nanny Bai nor the other Nanny dared to step forward to stop them.
As for the two people who were kicked to the ground by Zhao Liya, although they got up, they were still in great pain in their waists and ribs. How could they dare to move forward?
The kick from the Crown Prince's wife was really painful.
It is even more impossible for Mrs. Zhou to do it herself.
The master and servant could only watch Zhao Liya leave.
"Waste! You're all such losers! You can't even catch a little bitch!"
Nanny Bai quickly signaled the three maids to retreat, saying with a forced smile, "Calm down, old lady! Who could have imagined the Crown Prince's wife could be so rude? What noble and respectable lady would fight with servants? This Zhao family is truly unruly!"
Old Madam Zhou grew increasingly furious. "Of course they're unruly! The Duke's family is unruly, and now here comes another unruly person. It's true that people of the same family are alike! What a bastard!"
Old Mrs. Zhou covered her chest with her hands, feeling a little dizzy and having a dull pain in her chest.
She couldn't help but be shocked: Don't let them get sick from anger!
Nanny Bai quickly added, "Old Madam, there's still a lot of time to go. We'll just have to wait and see. In this inner mansion, there's no bloodshed. If you really want to take her in, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Wait until she's left alone in the mansion."
Old Mrs. Zhou nodded slowly, sneered, and closed her eyes tiredly.
All of these are worry-free.
Zhou Hansheng waited and waited but no one came out. He was getting impatient and was about to rush in to arrest them. As he raised his foot, he saw Zhao Liya and her servant coming out.
The angry and resentful look on the prince's face instantly turned into a loving smile. He smiled and walked forward, holding Zhao Liya's hand: "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's okay!"
"Why did you come so late? What did the old lady say to you?"
Zhao Liya smiled sweetly: "The old lady told me to be careful with my words and actions, to be a good daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, and to help the prince to make the Duke's Mansion flourish!"
Zhou Hansheng laughed heartily, hugged her and said, "This is a kind gesture from the old lady, so you must do as she says."
Zhao Liya: "Yes, we should listen to the teachings of our elders!"
"Well, since the Crown Prince has a rare moment of leisure, Madam Crown Prince should spend some time with him!"
Zhao Liya chuckled, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Zhou Hansheng hugged her back to his residence and immediately asked someone to serve tea and breakfast.
It was time for lunch in more than half an hour, but after a busy morning, they hadn't had time to eat breakfast. They were really hungry, but the two of them didn't care about anything else and decided to eat first.
There was a small kitchen in the courtyard of the Crown Prince and his wife. Breakfast had already been prepared and was served quickly at the command.
The table was filled with twelve breakfast snacks and four kinds of porridge.
Whether it is shrimp dumplings, soup dumplings, shredded radish pancakes, steamed buns with beef shoots and pine nuts, or porridge such as fish porridge, chicken porridge, millet porridge, etc., they are all Zhao Liya's favorite foods on weekdays.
