Princess Rong was so angry at her "shamelessness" that her face turned red. She pointed at Bai Zhirou and gasped.
Xia Yuning stood up to speak up for Princess Rong and criticized Bai Zhirou for not understanding filial piety, having no respect for elders, and being unfilial and unbrotherly.
Bai Zhirou looked at Xia Yuning deeply, her eyes deep and immersed, which made Xia Yuning feel uneasy.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Xia Yuning didn't believe that Bai Zhirou would have anything to say if she brought up the idea of filial piety!
But she was wrong.
Bai Zhirou sneered, her red lips moving in and out. "Since ancient times, if parents love their children and fulfill their parental responsibilities, it is impossible for their children not to be filial. If children are not filial to their parents, then we should ask whether their parents have fulfilled their responsibilities."
"I don't need to explain anything about a special case like mine. My parents haven't fulfilled their responsibilities for fourteen years, and now they're forcing me to be filial. Isn't that unfair to me?"
Xia Yuning was choked by her words. She felt that she was being led astray by her and could not utter a word to refute.
"You are my child! Naturally you must be filial to me! Now that you have been granted a title and fiefdom, and a marriage is in the cards, do you think you have grown strong enough?"
"I tell you, as long as you are alive, you are not allowed to leave Prince Rong's Mansion!"
Princess Rong said this and stormed out of the room.
Xia Yuning looked at Bai Zhirou with deep disappointment.
"Sister Zhirou, Chen Zhao is not a good man. If you regret it, it's not too late thanks to the Queen Mother's favor for you!" After Xia Yuning finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and followed the footsteps of Princess Rong.
She was not reminding Bai Zhirou to be careful of Chen Zhao, but to remind her to take advantage of the Queen Mother's favor and break off the engagement.
Maybe by then you will be disliked by the royal family?
Ming Cui was so angry at these two people that her face puffed up. Her young lady had just escaped from danger, and her arm was still wrapped in thick gauze. Her face was still pale. Princess Rong and Xia Yuning ran over to provoke her!
She really felt disappointed for Bai Zhirou!
Bai Zhirou, on the other hand, comforted her, "There are many people like this in this world. If I get angry at every one of them, sooner or later I'll be pissed to death. It's not worth it."
Mingcui was amused and chatted for a while before bringing water for Bai Zhirou to wash up.
The lights in the room went out, and it was plunged into darkness. Bai Zhirou hid in the quilt, rubbing her excited hands and opening the long-missed system panel.
After the system upgrade, a map function was added. She didn’t have time to take a closer look before, but now she has plenty of time.
She herself was a small green dot on the map, and each room in the largest courtyard of Puguang Temple was a golden dot, representing the royal family.
The dark grey circle outside is probably the guards.
She stretched out two fingers and enlarged the map, and she could clearly see the name on each small dot, which was very interesting.
Monks have a swastika on their head, which makes them easy to identify.
The rivers, mountains, and undercurrents in the mountains were all clearly shown on the map, and Bai Zhirou was fascinated at first sight.
The farthest place you can see on this map right now is the entire capital city, and nothing further than that.
The small town in the south of the Yangtze River, where she was raised, was even less likely to be explored.
As the night deepened, she fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, everyone went back home.
Bai Zhirou said goodbye to the Queen Mother and her entourage at the foot of the mountain, and after instructing the Queen Mother not to sneak out again, she returned to Prince Rong's Mansion.
She got off the carriage and looked around. She found that Princess Rong's carriage was not behind her, and she couldn't help but have a guess in her mind.
But she was not in a hurry, and returned to her yard calmly.
When the servants of Prince Rong's Mansion saw her come back, they hurriedly and attentively welcomed her in, and Lu He also presented her with the bird's nest that she had bought with her own money.
Although it is not the best quality and there are a few feathers mixed in it, it still cost money!
Mingcui saw that the bird's nest was of poor quality and wanted to take it away with a frown, but was stopped by Luhe.
"Sister Mingcui, what's wrong with this bird's nest? Hasn't the princess eaten it yet?" Luhe wondered.
"Our princess wouldn't eat such inferior bird's nest even in Jiangnan." Ming Cui said lightly.
Seeing that Luhe cared so much about the bird's nest, Mingcui gave it to Luhe.
Lu He was very depressed because her efforts were not rewarded and she lost money.
When Bai Zhirou came out after changing her clothes, Ming Cui had just made jasmine tea. She felt refreshed after taking a sip.
Ming Cui also said that when Prince Rong and his wife and Xia Yuning came back just now, they all had dark faces and murderous eyes.
"Host, they tried to enter the Princess's Mansion while you were away, but were chased out by the housekeeper!"
"They have gloomy faces because they feel humiliated!" the reproductive system added at the right time.
Bai Zhirou laughed at him mercilessly.
When Xia Mingyang heard from his servants that Bai Zhirou had returned unharmed, and had been given a fiefdom and a fiefdom, and had been granted a marriage by the emperor, he hurried back to Prince Rong's Mansion.
"How is this possible? My third brother clearly said that the matter has been settled!" Xia Mingyang was puzzled.
"If you ask me, who should I ask? You handled this matter very inappropriately!" Princess Rong loves her children, but she couldn't help but get angry at this moment.
"Brother, those people didn't do their job properly and Bai Zhirou escaped. Will they tell anyone about this?"
"Bai Zhirou's identity is no longer the same as before. I'm afraid she will spread this matter, and then the truth will be revealed." Xia Yuning said worriedly.
"Sister Yuning, you don't have to interfere in this matter. I have my own way." Xia Mingyang nodded solemnly.
Prince Rong was not aware of this matter for the time being. He was just angry that Bai Zhirou did not take him, her father, seriously.
Not long after they had finished their rest, a servant came to report that a eunuch had been sent from the palace to announce the imperial decree.
When everyone in Prince Rong's Mansion heard this, they quickly straightened their clothes and walked forward, and Bai Zhirou also walked over.
He met Xia Yifeng on the way and was ridiculed by him.
"Hmph, the eunuch coming to announce the decree will surely have nothing to do with you. Just kneel at the back and don't rush to embarrass yourself in front of the envoy."
"You little country girl haven't even learned the proper etiquette, so don't even think about showing off in front of the envoy."
After saying that, he snorted coldly, shook his sleeves, straightened his back and walked forward with an arrogant look.
"Princess, he is so irritating!" Ming Cui couldn't stand anyone slandering Bai Zhirou, and stomped her feet in anger.
"Just wait and see. He'll give you a slap in the face when the time comes." Bai Zhirou patted her shoulder soothingly. "You're always so unstable. How can I trust you to be the stewardess of the Princess's Mansion?"
When Mingcui heard this, her face instantly turned red with excitement!
As a maid, she understood too well the weight of the four words "Aunt in Charge"!
That’s the highest level of maid!
She had no future, and after becoming Bai Zhirou's maid, she felt that being a maid was more important than anything else.
Once she goes to the Princess's Mansion, she will be the aunt in charge!
Who becomes a housekeeper at such a young age?
