Chapter 48 Instigation and Conspiracy
Hearing this, Concubine Shu looked at her with appreciation: "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, my name is Xia Yanzhi."
Concubine Shu nodded and looked at the other three people beside her: "What about you?"
"This humble servant has no objection and will accept your punishment, Your Majesty!"
Concubine Shu looked at Huang Ying'er again: "Miss Huang, you are the victim. How do you want to deal with them? I am giving you this power. Have you thought it through?"
Huang Ying'er kowtowed to Concubine Shu first: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of this humble servant! I was wronged today, and my jewelry and clothes were damaged by them, so compensation is essential!
In addition, I want these four to come to the Shangshu Mansion to serve as my maids until the wounds on my body and face are healed!"
After the words were spoken, several young ladies were surprised. Asking them to pay compensation was reasonable, and they would accept it no matter how much the compensation was. But asking them to be Huang Ying'er's maids?
How could she dare to speak so brazenly? Their fathers were both third-rank officials in the imperial court. How could they be any worse than Huang Ying'er? If they were to become servants for her, the people of the capital would laugh at them to death. How would they ever go out again?
Except for Xia Yanzhi who was extremely calm, the other three were indignant.
Xia Yanzhi felt that as long as it didn't implicate her father, she could do anything. Compared to causing her father to lose his official position, it was just being Huang Ying'er's maid for a while. It was no big deal, so she accepted it...
Wei Sisi said, "Your Highness, I can agree to compensate you, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate to ask you to be my maid. My father also serves in the court, and he's a third-rank official, just like Miss Huang's father. If this gets out, I'll become a laughingstock... Can you ask Miss Huang to have a different punishment?"
"Yes...I also feel it's inappropriate..."
Huang Ying'er instantly exploded. "Are you afraid of becoming a laughing stock? I won't be laughed at after being beaten like this by you today? Your face is a face? And my face is not a face?"
Concubine Shu frowned as she looked at Huang Ying'er who was yelling. The father of these four young ladies was indeed a third-rank official. It was indeed inappropriate to ask them to serve as Huang Ying'er's maids for a while. However, the banquet was about to begin, and she just wanted to deal with this mess as soon as possible.
"Miss Huang, how about this? Each of the four of them will compensate you with 100,000 taels of silver as compensation, and the other three will each promise you one thing that you must fulfill! Is this okay with you?"
Huang Ying'er thought for a moment, then nodded: "Your Majesty, I will obey you, but Wei Sisi must compensate me with two hundred thousand taels of silver! Not a cent less!"
Concubine Shu looked at Wei Sisi: "Did you hear that?"
Wei Sisi bit her lip and said after a while: "I obey your command!"
Concubine Shu looked down at Huang Ying'er's mother, who was sitting below her, and asked, "Madam Du, are you satisfied with this outcome?"
"Your Majesty, I have no objection. Thank you very much!"
Concubine Shu glanced at them with a look of relief: "Take Miss Huang downstairs to change her clothes. Everyone else, please disperse! I don't want to hear anyone gossiping behind my back about what happened today!"
After saying that, he stood up and left
"Yes! Your humble servant respectfully sends Her Majesty Shufei off!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the Concubine is sent off with your respects!"
…
Yun Ran, who was wearing a red veil in the backyard bedroom, already knew what was happening in front of her.
"Cui'er, go and invite Huang Ying'er and those ladies to come to me!"
Yun Ran was furious. They dared to cause trouble at her wedding. This was a challenge to her authority. They really didn't take her seriously. She had to teach them a lesson.
The maid brought the people in. Yun Ran asked Huang Ying'er to come in first, and asked the other four to kneel outside and wait.
After she took off the red veil and saw Huang Ying'er's completely disfigured face, she asked in disbelief, "You...you are Huang Ying'er?"
Huang Ying'er bowed and nodded: "Your servant... Your servant is Huang Ying'er"
Although I am unwilling in my heart, but who lets me be the princess today?
Huang Ying'er then told the story of what happened in the pavilion, adding fuel to the fire. She knew that the eldest and second daughters in the Prime Minister's Mansion did not like Yun Li, so she threw more dirty water on Yun Li! Although Yun Li did not attack her today, she must have been the one who did it in the palace before.
She had just thought about it and felt that what happened today was a bit strange. It was for no reason and inexplicable. The four men had no motive to attack her, and it was probably related to her. In any case, she had been beaten, so no one could be free from responsibility!
Yun Ran asked angrily, "You said she came to my wedding banquet dressed in white? And flaunted herself everywhere?"
"Yes, Princess, if you don't believe me, you can ask your maid to see if Yunli is wearing white clothes."
Yun Ran certainly believed it. With so many eyes watching, would Huang Ying'er have to lie like this? She felt like it was something that Yun Li, that bitch, would do!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he whispered a few words into Huang Ying'er's ear.
"Thank you, Princess, for avenging Ying'er!"
Yun Ran looked at her proudly and told Cui Er: "Go and invite my sister."
"Yes, Princess! I obey your command."
Then Huang Yinger called the four people who were kneeling outside in. Yun Ran arrogantly asked them to kneel on the ground in a row, letting Huang Yinger vent her anger in the room.
Huang Yinger slapped each of them four times. Seeing the red slap marks on both sides of their faces, her anger subsided a little.
Finally, she left Xia Yanzhi and another lady behind, and asked Wei Sisi and another lady to go first.
"Just now, in front of the Concubine Shu, you promised me to do something for me. Now I have something for you to do. After you do this thing, I will forgive you and let bygones be bygones! What do you think?"
Xia Yanzhi nodded: "Miss Huang, tell me, as long as I can do it, I can agree to it!"
She had learned a lesson today. None of these ladies were easy to get along with, especially Huang Ying'er. After this matter was done, she would not owe her anything and just wanted to stay away from her.
Huang Ying'er looked at the woman in front of Xia Yanzhi. "What about you?"
"Me too! Tell me what you want to do, Miss Huang!"
Huang Yinger smiled strangely, and it was so awkward to see her ugly face stand up.
"You two just need to take Yunli and Wei Sisi to the lounge of Minglan Pavilion."
Xia Yanzhi and the others were slightly surprised: "Is that all?"
"Well! That's it! So what? Am I being magnanimous? I really don't want to let you go like this!"
When Xia Yanzhi heard this, she nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
"Well, Xia Yanzhi, go find Yun Li, and He Miaomiao, go find Wei Sisi. Go separately, and no matter what excuse you use, just bring the two of them into Minglan Pavilion!"
The two of them left the house, and Yun Wei just came in.
