After Li Chenjiao and the Second Princess had lunch together, Li Chenjiao called back Lin Mama and Chen Shi and Zhong Shi, who had previously left.
She got straight to the point: "Did Aman suffer any mistreatment in the front yard today?"
This was the only thing that worried Li Chenjiao the most.
All three nannies shook their heads in unison, and after a final exchange of glances, it was Nanny Lin who spoke.
"Reporting to Master, there was a commotion in the front yard when school let out today, and now it seems there's chaos in the main yard and the south yard as well."
Li Chenjiao paused for two seconds, then raised her hand to signal Lin Mama not to continue. She guessed first, "Did the First Prince and the Second Prince have a quarrel?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Lin laughed: "What you say is true, Master. The First Prince's cold has only just healed, hasn't it? The Second Prince's health has also been carefully maintained. After school, I don't know who said that if the two princes were together, wouldn't they get even sicker? Granny Qian, who serves the Second Prince, overheard this and made a few veiled remarks. Unexpectedly, Granny Cheng, who serves the First Prince, is just as blunt, saying that she doesn't know who infected whom..."
The Second Prince's health has always been a source of pain for the First Wife. Isn't what Granny Cheng said just hitting a nerve?
After saying this, Granny Lin continued, "Later, for some reason, the Second Prince started crying. As you know, the First and Second Princesses are not with the other princes. Granny Zhong is kind and gentle, and our Second Princess finished school early. Later, I heard from the servants in the front courtyard that the Second Prince pushed the First Prince, and the First Prince fell on his bottom. Then, the First Prince hit the Second Prince with something, and I heard that the Second Prince immediately got a big bump on his forehead."
Li Chenjiao listened to this with great interest. After Lin Mama finished speaking in one breath, she propped herself up on her hands and asked, "What about the Third Prince?"
She grasped the key point immediately.
It's understandable that the eldest and second princesses didn't see the commotion inside when they left school, but the third prince and the two princesses should have left school together, yet Lin Mama didn't mention the third prince at all.
Lin Mama was slightly taken aback when she heard Li Chenjiao's words: "I haven't heard of this servant. I only heard that the Third Prince is timid and has been standing on the side. He was pushed around a few times by the servants who were trying to mediate the fight."
Li Chenjiao gave a meaningful "Oh": "Then... have you found out who started it?"
Granny Lin shook her head cautiously: "At that time, there were our servants and the people serving the eldest princess outside, and a large group of people serving the eldest and second princes inside. How could we find out in a short time?"
Li Chenjiao had guessed as much as she had, and then asked, "How badly are the two children injured?"
"The eldest prince's hands are a bit red from being rubbed, the second prince's forehead is swollen, and I don't know about the others. But after this ordeal, he's probably been quite frightened."
Although Li Chenjiao had guessed that having more children would easily lead to trouble, trouble still arose on the very first day...
If this news gets to Fourth Master, he'll probably be unhappy again.
Li Chenjiao rubbed her head: "Send some ointment to both sides. What's going on here?"
The two scheming women, Granny Qian and Granny Cheng, who started the trouble, will inevitably be punished. The people who serve the children really need to be carefully selected.
Li Chenjiao gestured for the maids to go and rest. She then went to check on the Second Princess's room. After playing all day, the little girl was fast asleep.
She was somewhat relieved that the Fourth Prince was still young, otherwise she would have had a lot more to worry about.
No wonder my mother said that children are all debts; having a prince is truly a headache.
