Feng Miaohua took a sip of water and said, "I don't like fruit juice, it's too sweet. Pour me a cup of hot tea."
After hearing this, her maid took another tea bowl and came to the table with a kettle to pour water. When the maid was pouring water, Feng Miaohua reached out to take the nuts on the table and happened to touch the maid's arm. The spout of the kettle in the maid's hand was just facing Chu Hanyan's hand on the table. When the girl's arm was touched by her own girl, some of the water in the kettle poured out.
It was said to be late, but it was actually fast. Qier pushed Chu Hanyan's hand away and some hot water was poured on Qier's hand, but it still spilled some on Chu Hanyan's hand.
Chu Hanyan was scared, hurt, and aggrieved. She burst into tears and stood up, pulling Qi'er to go back to Handanxuan to find her mother.
The "troublemaker" girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly begging for mercy. She had no choice. If she didn't listen to her master, she would be punished more severely when she returned. If she listened to her master, she would still be punished, but with her master's intercession, the punishment would not be too severe.
This incident frightened the girls. Yinghui's eldest maid Hong'er was terrified. Usually, the master is the one who causes trouble, and the servant takes the blame. She quickly sent someone to notify the master in Handanxuan and to ask for a doctor. She also came to see if Miss Chu and Qi'er's hands were burned. She saw that there were two small blisters on the back of Chu Hanyan's hand, and Qi'er's hand was a little more serious, with a series of blisters.
Li Cheng and Zhu Ying'er just reacted and hurried to coax Chu Hanyan, while Yinghui said to Feng Miaohua, "What's wrong with you?"
Feng Miaohua looked aggrieved and said stubbornly, "How can her mental illness be cured? She is still stupid. The girl was pouring hot water, why did she stretch her hand so long?"
Zhu Ying'er said unhappily, "Sister Yan'er, how can you overreach? It's obviously you, the master and the servant, did it on purpose."
Feng Miaohua raised her voice and said, "Zhu Ying'er, you can't say that."
Li Cheng said angrily, "Feng Miaohua, don't think others are stupid. You burned Yan'er, let's see how the eleventh brother will teach you a lesson."
Because Chen Afu's children were adorable, she also had a seat in the hall. She was watching the old women teasing the children when she saw a maid coming to report that the eldest sister of the Chu family was scalded by the maid of the fourth sister of the Feng family.
Everyone was shocked. Chen Afu, Prince An's wife, Princess Anhe and others quickly got up and rushed out.
On the way, they met a few little girls walking towards Handanxuan. Little girl Chu's eyes were red and swollen from crying.
After the doctor treated Chu Hanyan and Qi'er's injuries, the adults also heard what happened. Li Cheng, Zhu Ying'er, Qi'er and Luo Mei said that Feng Miaohua and the maid burned them on purpose. Feng Miaohua and her maid said that Chu Hanyan was slow to react and stretched her hand too far, and put it next to the tea bowl, so the maid didn't pay attention and burned her. Yinghui and Li Ziqi said that they didn't notice and didn't see clearly.
Chen Afu definitely believed that it was Feng Miaohua who burned the girl on purpose. She hugged the girl and felt both distressed and angry.
Princess Ronghe was relieved to see that Chu Hanyan was fine. She knew that the Chu family was gaining power, and the Crown Prince and Xiao Shiyi were on the side of the Chu family, so she didn't want to offend them.
She said to Chen Ahfu, "Madam Chu, I'm sorry. It was all because of the clumsiness of those servants that I caused this. I will beat her half to death and sell her when I get home." She then scolded Feng Miaohua with a sullen face, and finally said, "...Although it was Miss Chu who had the upper hand and it was the servants who caused this, it was you who caused this. Go and apologize to Madam Chu."
Princess Ronghe was talking to someone in the side room before, and she didn't see Xiao Shiyi personally introducing Chu Hanyan to Li Cheng, otherwise she would not have been so neglectful of Chu Hanyan. In her opinion, Chu Hanyan was just Chen Afu's stepdaughter, and she had the blood of the Ma family. Even her grandfather didn't like her, and she let Rong Zhao make her stupid, so her stepmother would definitely not like her.
Chen Afu was already furious when Feng Miaohua bullied others, but when he saw Ronghe being so arrogant, Chen Afu was even more furious. He really went too far, scalding people, and still had such an attitude. Chu Hanyan was raised in his hands, and he couldn't let others bully her like this.
Chen Afu didn't want to cause trouble for those nobles, but he couldn't tolerate being humiliated like this.
She ignored Rong He and Feng Miaohua who came to say "I'm sorry" to her, and said to Chu Hanyan who was still crying, "Yan'er, don't cry. See, people can't be too kind. If you are too kind, people will treat you as a fool, bully you and then blame you. Remember, if someone scalds you in the future, you have to scald them back. If you can't bear it, let your maid do it. Don't be afraid of getting into trouble, you not only have the Queen Mother's favorite Third Grandma, but also the affection of growing up with the Eleventh Prince and the Prince of Rui." She didn't dare to say that she raised the Eleventh Prince, cured the Prince of Rui, and had Lord Chu who gave everything for the prince, and the Third Grandpa who was a marshal. This was to take advantage of the favor and take credit. She also said to the two brothers who were crying with their sister, "You are men, don't cry when something happens, you must practice your skills well and be a support for your sister."
After hearing this, the two brothers stopped crying immediately, shook their fists at Feng Miaohua and shouted, "You bad boy, I'll beat you..."
Rong He was unhappy and said with a gloomy face, "Mrs. Chu, how do you teach your children?"
Madam Chu said angrily, "Ronghe, if she doesn't teach her children this way, does she want to teach her children to let your child get burned? This is really too much, you have no manners, you burned someone and you still blame others. Yan'er, your mother is right, you have so many people to rely on, you don't have to be afraid of anyone. If you get into trouble, Grandma San and Xiaoyi will help you..."
At this time, Xiao Eleven, who heard the news, came running over. Seeing Chu Hanyan crying like a tearful person and the back of her hand with burn medicine on it, he became furious.
He pointed at Feng Miaohua and asked, "You and the servants scalded Yan'er?"
Feng Miaohua saw that the always smiling eleventh uncle's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he was so scared that he cried. He stepped back and shook his head, "No, it was her, I didn't..."
Little Eleven continued pointing at her and yelled, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age. You'll be a disaster when you grow up. Just wait, I'll go back to the palace and tell my father and mother that people like you must be taught a lesson." He then said to the young eunuch who followed him, "Go, tell the guards to drag that girl who scalded people out and beat her... half to death." He wanted to beat her to death, but he couldn't bear it, and continued, "Then sell her to the mountains." In his opinion, being sold to the mountains was the most miserable.
Then, Xiao Eleven took Chu Hanyan's hand and coaxed her patiently, pouring out baskets of nice words.
Rong He was a little scared when he saw how Xiao Shiyi treated Chu Hanyan, and the sullen Hua Chang and Chen Afu. If this matter was not handled properly, he and his daughter would be punished.
