Zhao Liya was furious and rushed forward, "Zhou Rui, the prince has never said anything about taking a concubine or not, and he has never had such thoughts. I am his wife, don't you think I don't know, and yet you have to tell me? If you continue to slander the prince like this, don't blame me for being rude!"
As she spoke, she leaned close to Zhou Rui's ear and sneered softly, "Do you think everyone is your father or your husband? Who are they? How can they compare to the prince? Zhou Rui, even if you die of anger, you are not as good as me. You deserve it, haha!"
"Shut up!" Zhou Rui felt as if her heart was stabbed with a knife. She screamed uncontrollably and raised her hand to hit Zhao Liya in the face.
Zhao Liya screamed and retreated in panic. Although she was not hit by her, she fell down in a mess!
"Madam of the Crown Prince!"
"Oh! Oh no!"
"Someone come quickly!"
The maids and servants who were standing not far away were panicked and rushed up all at once.
"Ah! Don't move me! I, I feel like I sprained my ankle! Don't move!" Zhao Liya suddenly screamed in pain, holding her ankle and groaning in pain.
"The Crown Prince's wife!" Chunfen and Chunxia were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They quickly pushed everyone away and squatted on her left and right. They wanted to help her up but didn't dare to move.
Nanny Lian hurriedly said, "A sprained ankle can be serious or minor, and it's no joke. Slowly help the Crown Prince's wife up, and be careful! And you, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and bring a sedan chair. Go to the front yard and tell someone to go to the government office to find the Crown Prince. Hurry and tell the servants in the outer courtyard to call for the doctor! And tell the Duke's wife as well."
Everyone listened and agreed hurriedly. Some ran away to talk or look for someone.
Zhao Liya finally stood up with the help of two maids on her left and right. She looked at Zhou Rui angrily.
Zhou Rui was already scared silly by this scene!
This is the wife of the Crown Prince of the Duke's Mansion. Their relationship with the First Wife is already tense. If she pushes Zhao Liya and makes her fall in public, how can that be tolerated?
Zhou Rui hurriedly tried to explain herself: "I, I didn't use any force! I didn't use any force at all! She fell on her own!"
"Second Miss! You've gone too far!" Nanny Lian angrily accused, "So many of us servants witnessed it, and yet you tried to hit the Crown Prince's wife in public. Second Miss, how can you be so unreasonable? You pushed the Crown Prince's wife, and you still dare to make excuses like this? It's ridiculous!"
Zhou Rui was furious: "It's her, it's her! If she hadn't insulted me, I wouldn't have done it! Don't say half of what you said, what does this mean!"
"Who's humiliating whom?" Zhao Liya said angrily, tears welling in her eyes. "Everyone heard your Second Young Lady's sarcastic remarks. That's the real humiliation, isn't it? What did I say? I told you to be quiet, and you resorted to violence, even blaming me!"
Zhou Rui was so angry that her blood rushed to her head, "You scolded my father and my husband——"
"I told you that the Crown Prince is different from them, that he has no interest in taking concubines. Is that insulting? You went crazy after hearing that. I was just about to ask, was there anything wrong with what I said?"
Zhou Rui was so angry that she almost vomited blood!
Everyone looked at her with suspicion. In front of everyone, everyone saw her take action. No one would believe anything she said.
Zhao Liya, this bitch, has screwed herself over again.
"Okay, you cheated me! You cheated me again! Be careful of your retribution! I won't say anything more to you!" Zhou Rui turned around angrily and wanted to leave.
She couldn't stay here any longer. It would be terrible if Zhou Hansheng came back.
This cousin will definitely not let me go.
Zhou Rui had to admit that she was very afraid of her cousin.
"Second Miss! You can't leave!" Nanny Lian stopped her: "Let's talk about it after the prince comes back."
"You dare to stop me?"
"I want you to stay. How about that?" Zhao Liya sneered, "If you dare to leave like this today, don't ever visit the Duke's Mansion again."
Zhou Rui was furious: "What a big tone! It's not your turn to make the decision at the Duke's Mansion!"
Zhao Liya sneered, "You can try!"
He beat the Crown Prince's wife of the Duke's Mansion. Even though the Crown Prince's wife had spoken out in person, he didn't take it seriously at all. He had no respect for the Crown Prince's wife at all and didn't give her any face at all.
Let me ask you, if she wants to ask for help from the Duke's Mansion next time, will the Duke's Mansion pay attention to her?
Zhou Rui was trembling all over, with streams of blood rushing to her head, but she really didn't dare to walk.
The commotion here was so intense that Madam Tuesday and Madam Wednesday soon arrived.
Mrs. Zhou Er originally wanted to put on airs and make some accusations and scolds, but after Nanny Lian coldly told her what Zhou Rui had done, Mrs. Zhou Er instantly fell silent.
Of course she refused to believe it. "You must have seen it wrong, right? Are you trying to frame Rui'er?"
Zhou Rui got inspiration from this and immediately shouted, "I don't know why my cousin's wife fell down. I didn't touch her at all! Mom, I didn't touch her at all!"
"Ms. Zhao, are you deliberately framing Rui'er?" Mrs. Zhou Er sneered.
Zhao Liya's eyes turned cold: "Second Aunt, save these words for when you say them in front of the prince!"
Mrs. Zhou Er sneered repeatedly. She glanced at Zhao Liya's feet, which were covered by her skirt and could not be seen. However, she did not dare to ask anyone to lift them up to see. That would be extremely humiliating. Not only Zhao Liya, but also the Duke and his wife would not forgive her and the Second House.
She felt sorry for her daughter, and she could make a scene and curse at her to cause trouble for Zhao Liya and the first wife, but when it came to real interests, she didn't dare.
Madam Zhou Er continued to speak arrogantly, "Even if it was, it was an accident. Rui'er is not stupid. Could she deliberately harm you in front of so many people? Let me tell you, it takes two to tango. The wife of the Crown Prince should always be polite and gentle when speaking. Who knew it wasn't your own fault?"
Zhou Rui couldn't help but feel aggrieved and her eyes turned red after hearing this. "Mom, she was the one who humiliated me first!"
Nanny Lian said coldly, "What the Second Miss said was really unpleasant! Why didn't the Second Miss mention it?"
Zhou Rui then said, "What am I afraid to say? I told my eldest cousin that he wanted to take a concubine. Is there anything wrong with that? Can't I say that? My eldest cousin's wife took her anger out on me and mocked me because of this. Can't I resist? She's just a jealous woman!"
My heart moved. Yes, my cousin is now obsessed with the two beauties Qingwan and Lanxin, and is about to flirt with them. His heart is no longer with Zhao Liya.
Zhao Liya still naively thought that her cousin would make the decision for her? This is hilarious!
If my cousin knew about this, I'm afraid she would be the first one to be scolded! Which man wouldn't care about his dignity in such a situation?
