Chapter 336 Unlucky White Moonlight 12
Seeing his face look as ugly as a storm coming, the housekeeper was afraid of being affected, "Your Highness, Miss Mei may have been harmed."
Prince Jin snorted coldly, "That's just her stupidity!"
The housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else. He thought that next time Miss Mei gave her silver ingots, he would just not accept them.
Prince Jin had no idea what was going on in his mind. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He wanted to teach Mei Niang a lesson, "Don't let her come here recently."
The housekeeper responded quickly, fearing that he would suffer disaster if he was a second late.
Mei Niang fell ill after she returned home. Her mind was full of images of those dirty things. The thought of eating such disgusting things for her future made her feel sick.
It's not that she hadn't doubted the truth of this matter, but the acting of Luo An and his servant was so realistic that she didn't dare to take the risk.
Moreover, everyone in the General’s Mansion knew that Luo An had this problem. If she wanted to replace him, would she have to continue to eat rice from the rice fields in the future?
Really! I just can't accept it.
Mei Niang felt nauseous and developed a fever, so she hurriedly called a doctor.
In the middle of the night, Mei Niang finally regained some energy after drinking the medicine. The maid was relieved to see this. If she had had a fever for several days and nights, she might not even be able to save her life.
But thinking about the rumors outside, the maid frowned again, not knowing whether she should report it to the young lady. As a result of this hesitation, she did not take the empty bowl handed to her by Mei Niang.
Mei Niang frowned even tighter. "What are you daydreaming about? Don't you want to serve me anymore?"
How could a maid dare to take such a big blame? She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "I dare not!"
"Don't dare? I think you dare very much!" Mei Niang found a chance to vent her anger.
"I dare not! It's my fault! I was just thinking about something."
Of course the maid, whose life and death were in someone else's hands, confessed everything. This made Mei Niang even more unhappy. With a "bang", she threw the bowl in her hand out with force, and it broke into pieces.
The maid was frightened by the sudden movement and trembled, but she didn't dare to move a step. She just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
She didn't know what she had done wrong, and just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Mei Niang sat on the bed, her eyes narrowed slightly, "It must have been that bitch who did it."
The maidservant put her head on the ground, not daring to say anything. This was not something a servant like her could get involved in.
Mei Niang stayed awake until dawn before she figured things out. She felt that Luo An must have discovered her, and what he did later was done deliberately to disgust her. She was the only one who foolishly took it seriously and even got sick.
After realizing that Luo An was not as easy to deal with as she had imagined, Mei Niang wanted to go to Prince Jin to discuss the next plan. However, when she arrived at Prince Jin's mansion, the guards refused to let her in no matter what, which made her already bad mood even worse.
"Do you even know who I am?"
At this moment, Mei Niang decided that when she became the mistress of Prince Jin's Mansion, the first thing she would do was to get rid of this blind guard.
The guard said nothing. He was just following orders to guard the place. If he offended Mei Niang, he might not have a good life in the future. But if he let the person in today, he might not be able to survive until the evening. He still knew what was more important.
"This is the prince's order, and we are only following orders. Please don't embarrass me, Miss Mei."
"impossible!"
In the first two days, they spent most of the day in the study of Prince Jin's mansion. The other party also promised to make her the Princess of Jin after the matter was accomplished. Mei Niang could not believe that Prince Jin would be so ruthless.
But no matter what she said, she got no response. It was not until passersby kept looking in her direction that she realized she had lost her composure. After calming her expression, Mei Niang said seriously, "Since the prince is not in the mansion, I will go back first."
Her attempts to save face had no effect. People who knew about this matter still pointed fingers at her and thought she was shameless. A concubine's daughter dared to covet the Prince of Jin, like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
Although the Luo family looked down on Prince Jin, there were still many people who wanted to marry him. Coincidentally, Luo An and Prince Jin broke off their engagement, and the position of Princess Jin became vacant, so naturally someone set their sights on her.
"The Mei family really needs to take care of this daughter. As expected, those born out of wedlock are shameless. Mother, aren't you going to enjoy the flowers with Madam Mei tomorrow? It's a good opportunity for her to spend some time taking care of her, otherwise the reputation of the Mei family will be ruined."
"Father, if you have a chance, please talk to Minister Mei and tell him not to let that Mei Niang use his name to meddle in front of Prince Jin anymore. I think Prince Jin is quite good, but I don't want to get along with that unpresentable person."
…
Such scenes occurred in many mansions in the capital, and the next day, Minister Mei and Madam Mei were besieged.
"Minister Mei, I don't think you're stupid. Why are you so careless this time? Don't you know your daughter's reputation? How dare you go to the Prince of Jin in public? How could the Prince of Jin not be angry? Who knows, he might even implicate you."
"That's right. If Mei Niang was a legitimate daughter, it would be fine. Maybe you could even become the father-in-law of the Prince of Jin. But doesn't she know her own status? Isn't this trying to harm the Prince of Jin?"
"Be careful with your words. Minister Mei's daughter looks so much like Miss Luo. She might actually be the Princess of Jin."
Although he said so, the contempt on that person's face was obvious. Minister Mei looked at his colleagues who were at odds with him with a very ugly expression. He was about to fight back when someone else interrupted him.
"Prime Minister Wang, your idea is wrong. How can a concubine's daughter be compared with the legitimate daughter of the General Guarding the Nation?"
Minister Mei: ...
Although he also paid attention to the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, he felt uncomfortable when someone who was looked down upon became a member of his Mei family.
Just then, Luo's father passed by and left after hearing what he said, saying something infuriating, "Don't take my daughter with you, she doesn't deserve it!"
The way Father Luo held his head high and his chest puffed out really pissed off Mei Shangshu. He didn't understand why Luo Wentian had to appear after Mei Changfeng was born!
The other people saw how frustrated he was, and although they didn't show it on their faces, they were already very happy in their hearts.
It's because Minister Mei always does bad things, always trying to please the emperor and report other people from time to time. Now he has finally gotten his revenge.
On the other hand, Mrs. Mei’s situation is no better than Minister Mei’s. Women’s words are always more poisonous than men’s and are more likely to hurt others’ hearts.
Look! As soon as the flower viewing party ended, she went home with a lot of anger.
"Lao Mei, you're finally back. I want to tell you something. Mei Niang can't stay in the capital anymore. Send her away quickly. The farther the better."
Minister Mei was already feeling annoyed. Seeing her mention Mei Niang, he replied impatiently, "Stop it! Don't you know why I kept them in the capital?"
Mrs. Mei recalled what she had heard at the banquet and was furious. "Don't give me those high-sounding excuses. You know your real purpose clearly."
