Nanny Zhao was about to go to the kitchen to get something when she heard the noise. She hurried over and saw the clear five finger marks on Xiangcao's face. She felt extremely distressed.
"Oh, who did this?"
"Me!" Fan Meiniang said, pinching her waist. "Madam Zhao, you don't discipline your daughter properly and offend your aunt. A slap on the face won't be enough for me."
She is pregnant now, no one dares to do anything to her!
"Offending my aunt?" Aunt Zhao snorted coldly, "What kind of aunt are you?"
"You are a lowly whore who had an affair with the Fourth Master without any matchmaker or engagement. Even servants know the etiquette of respecting the young and the old, yet you are so shameless as to snatch Concubine Xia's food. How shameful!"
Her precious daughter, whom she had never dared to lift a finger for, was beaten by a country woman. How could she swallow this humiliation?
"You!" Fan Meiniang's chest heaved with anger. A mouthful of chicken got stuck in her throat and almost made her suffocate. She waited for a long time before she finally breathed smoothly.
"No matter what, I am the Fourth Master's concubine. How dare you, an old maid, lecture me with such foul language? Who gave you the guts?"
Fan Meiniang had been holding a lot of anger in her heart for a long time. She rolled up her arms and slapped Zhao Mama in the face. Not satisfied yet, she found a long board in the yard and smashed it on Zhao Mama's old waist.
Vanilla was so shocked that she forgot to react for a moment. It was too late for Pearl to stop her.
Zhuye hid behind the pillar of the corridor to watch the fun, her eyes almost falling to the ground in shock. She covered her mouth and looked at Zhao Ma, then quickly ran back to Fangxingyuan.
"Madam, Madam..."
"Hush!" Seeing the panicked Zhuye, Taohua put a finger to her lips, signaling her to speak softly, and asked, "Zhuye, why are you so flustered? Madam is writing."
After finishing the last stroke, Gu Yunran put down the pen, rubbed his sore wrist, and came out through the curtain, asking, "What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhuye's face flushed and breathing heavily, Gu Yunran asked Taohua to pour her a glass of water to help her breathe better. Zhuye took the cup, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
She felt much more comfortable now.
"That Concubine Fan is terrible. She stole Concubine Xia's lotus leaf chicken and beat her maid." Zhuye said as he rolled up his sleeves and imitated Fan Meiniang's tough look.
She paused and continued, "Not only that, she also beat Aunt Zhao who came to reason with her, and she did it with a long stick."
"I guess Aunt Zhao won't be able to get out of bed for three months."
"Ah!" Taohua opened her mouth in shock, then burst into laughter. "Madam Fan must have suffered so much injustice in the mansion that she exploded."
Gu Yunran frowned. She didn't expect Fan Meiniang to be so bold that she even dared to touch the personal nanny beside Old Madam Lu.
"She can touch anyone, but she shouldn't touch Aunt Zhao."
Nanny Zhao's identity is not simple. She is not just a nanny beside Old Madam Lu. If you touch her, it is equivalent to touching the reputation of the Lu family.
"Let's go and take a look."
Gu Yunran changed her clothes, put on some light makeup, and went to Nianmei Pavilion with the two maids, Zhuye and Taohua.
While walking on the road, I saw from afar the second wife and a dozen maids rushing over.
"stop!"
The second wife was so angry that she almost fainted.
She walked over, snatched the board from Fan Meiniang's hand, pushed Fan Meiniang aside, and shouted sternly: "How dare you touch Zhao Mama?"
Fan Mei Niang put her hands on her waist and said angrily, "She is disrespectful to me and I am not allowed to deal with her."
Bang!
The Second Madam reached out and slapped Fan Meiniang in the face. "Who do you think you are? You're just a lowly concubine!"
Fan Meiniang was still trying to argue, but when she saw the figure in the distance, she burst into tears. Lu Qingzhou asked distressedly, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
He wiped her tears with his sleeves out of concern.
"Madame Zhao bullied me and called me a lowly whore. I, I won't live anymore." Fan Meiniang said as she was about to bang her head against the wall.
When she was about to crash into him, Lu Qingzhou hugged her tightly from behind.
"Mei Niang! Calm down, you're pregnant."
He held Fan Meiniang tightly in his arms and comforted her for a long time before turning to look at Madam Zhao. He saw her lying on the ground, whimpering and wailing, and he couldn't hear what she was saying.
He immediately turned cold and said, "Mei Niang and I are in love with each other. She is my woman. Anyone who dares to criticize her is making things difficult for me. Such a servant must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
"Someone, come and hit me!"
"Wait!" Gu Yunran stepped forward to stop him, "Does the Fourth Master really want to hit Aunt Zhao?"
The servant holding the board looked around, not knowing who to listen to.
Lu Qingzhou kicked the servant away and snatched the board from him. He was about to do it himself, but Gu Yunran stood in front of Madam Zhao and blocked him.
"If the Fourth Master wants to hit Aunt Zhao, hit me first."
"You! Do you think I don't dare?" Lu Qingzhou had a cold face and his eyes were so dark that it seemed as if he could eat Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran slowly closed her eyes and stood in front of Madam Zhao.
Standing still!
Lu Qingzhou's hands holding the board had distinct joints and the bones creaked. His face was full of anger, and Fan Meiniang was crying sadly.
"Fourth brother, it's nothing for me to suffer a little injustice. Please don't hurt the lady for my sake. I..." As she said this, she began to cough violently.
He even spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Mei Niang!" Lu Qingzhou was heartbroken and raised the board in his hand.
"Fourth Master..."
