Chapter 663 He wanted her to go with him
Forced back by her forceful tone, Madam Luo slightly withdrew her previous posture. "Madam, you have misunderstood. I did not kidnap your daughter. It was your daughter who insisted on staying at my house. I only took her in as a child bride because she was well-behaved and sensible."
With a single sentence, she shifted all the blame onto Zhouzhou.
Aunt Zhou was so angry that she wanted to take action.
Mianmian came out and said, "Madam Luo, don't lie here. She was clearly tied up by you, and you've kept her locked up in the woodshed for several days."
Mrs. Luo continued to argue, "That child suddenly changed his mind, so he deliberately made up an excuse to slander us."
With a cold look in her eyes, Mianmian slowly walked up to Matchmaker Li and pulled her down. "She told me everything when you were doing it. Do you want to ask her yourself?"
Mrs. Luo was taken aback. Only then did she recognize that this was the matchmaker who had led the bride into the house.
She then realized that she had been tricked.
She turned her head and glared fiercely at Matchmaker Li.
Matchmaker Li said innocently, "Madam, I've been wanting to tell you this on the way here, but you didn't give me the chance."
Mrs. Luo couldn't find an excuse right now and felt somewhat guilty. Arranging a marriage was one thing, but kidnapping the child was another.
Regardless of the Zhou family's status, if they complain to the prefect, they will all be punished.
Mianmian continued, "Mrs. Luo, what else do you have to say?"
Madam Luo looked up at the young maid in front of her, her eyes filled with hatred. "It's all because of you! If you hadn't caused trouble in our mansion, would I have come out to look for someone?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand to attack Mianmian.
Matchmaker Li stared at her with wide eyes and a look of horror on her face.
Mianmian quickly dodged and slapped Madam Luo hard across the face.
The sound of the blow was so loud that it could be heard throughout the entire street.
Although Madam Luo was a minor official in the capital, she was still the wife of an official. Now, she had been slapped in the street by a mere maid, losing all face.
"You, you actually dared to hit me." She covered her face and looked at Mianmian in disbelief.
Mianmian rarely lays a hand on anyone, but if anyone dares to touch her, she will retaliate tenfold, saying, "If you dare to hit me, why wouldn't I dare to hit you back!"
Mrs. Luo was furious. In a fit of anger, she strode forward and tried to slap Mianmian again.
Mianmian has the ability to defend herself; she can easily dodge the slaps that are coming at her by simply taking a few steps back.
Just as she was about to strike again, someone at the entrance of the Zhou residence shouted, "How dare you!"
Mrs. Luo was startled.
She stopped what she was doing and looked up at the doorway.
It's the Third Prince.
Just now, when Mianmian was arguing with Madam Luo, Aunt Zhou went to call him out.
The Third Prince and Madam Luo had met once before in the capital, though only once, but they were not difficult to recognize each other.
"Your Highness..."
She was terrified; her tongue felt as if it were nailed to the ground, and she couldn't speak.
The Third Prince strode forward, shielding Mianmian behind him, and said, "You have quite the nerve, daring to lay a hand on even the Princess!"
Aunt Zhou strode over to them and said, "Madam Luo, hitting the princess is a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire family!"
If kidnapping a prince's daughter would result in exile, then attacking a princess would be a capital offense.
Mrs. Luo stood there, her legs suddenly went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Exterminate...exterminate their entire clan?"
Mianmian continued, "That's right, Madam Luo, you are so audacious as to dare to forcibly abduct a woman in broad daylight and slap a princess. You deserve to die!"
Madam Luo's lips trembled, and her whole body shook as she said, "You're a princess? Why didn't you say so sooner?!"
Madam Li whispered, "Madam, I told you on the way here that this young lady's identity is not simple. We shouldn't provoke them, but you insisted on coming. You can't swallow this anger and you insist on making trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Luo could no longer remain calm. She knelt before Mianmian and said, "Your Highness, I was wrong. I was audacious. Please spare my life."
Mianmian originally only wanted to teach the Luo family a small lesson, but they came to her door on their own.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to hand them over directly to the prefect and have them act in accordance with the law.
Mianmian was about to speak.
Qing'er, who had just reached the gate of the mansion, interrupted, "Leave it to me."
He stared coldly at Madam Luo on the ground, an expression that Mianmian had never seen before.
It was as if he could chop off Madam Luo's head with a knife at any moment.
Just as Mianmian was about to refuse, Qing'er grabbed her hand, turned around, and hurriedly went into the mansion. "Did she hit you just now?"
Mianmian shook her head.
Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth, turned around and held her hand tightly, sincerely saying, "Mianmian, come with me to Beidi?"
