This person has only been gone for a few months, how come they've become even more arrogant?
I stood up and shielded Bizhu behind me, staring intently at Li Zhaole.
“Your new sister-in-law is terrible at disciplining her servants. This lowly maid dares to be so arrogant. Since Brother Yuancheng isn’t here, I’ll teach her a lesson for you. Anxiang, hurry up and do it.”
Anxiang walked over expressionlessly. I glanced at her, and she pulled Bizhu out directly. I could almost hear the sound of her face being slapped.
I wanted to curse right then and there. Even if she was a princess, what right did she have to hit someone, especially in Xie Yuancheng's mansion?
Thinking of what Xie Yuancheng had said to others, I suppressed my displeasure and was about to go out to see when Li Zhaole blocked my way: "Don't worry, new sister-in-law, I'm just helping you teach her a lesson. I guarantee she'll be extra obedient from now on."
I heard a noise outside and was about to shake off her hand and go out when Li Zhaole grabbed my wrist instead. She gripped it so tightly that it hurt.
I shook my head hesitantly, the image of a mute flashing through my mind. Honestly, why did Xie Yuancheng say I was mute? Otherwise, he would have already killed Li Zhaole and wouldn't have let Bizhu suffer.
“My new sister-in-law really doesn’t know how to talk. Let me see what’s on your face.” Li Zhaole directly pulled off her veil. Luckily, Bizhu and the others were prepared. When she saw the red spots and pimples on my face, she disgustedly tried to push me away.
Thinking of the baby in my belly, I held on tightly and wouldn't let go. If I were to push her to the ground, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to save the baby.
"What's that on your face? Let go of me right now! With your looks, you call yourself a beauty that could topple kingdoms? You're nothing like that stupid prince consort." Of course I wanted to let go, but how could I let go when you were pushing me?
“Princess, my lady has been in a bad mood lately. You just reprimanded Bizhu, who is her favorite. She's probably angry now. I'll have a good talk with her.”
As soon as the butler came in, he quickly shielded me and gestured for me to let go of Li Zhaole's hand. I only let go after I was able to stand firmly.
"I don't know what bad luck Yuancheng had to marry such a wife. No wonder she was pregnant and kept to herself in her boudoir. Even on such a beautiful day, she still had to wear a veil."
Li Zhaole rubbed her hands and criticized me with a look of disgust.
The nanny came in too, picked up the veil that had been lying in the corner, and put it on me.
"Princess, the lady is in poor health and may not be able to speak with you. Would you please return to your room?"
"And who are you, old woman, daring to speak to me?"
I was afraid that Li Zhaole would cause trouble for the wet nurse. She was old and couldn't take any more trouble, so I quickly shielded her behind me and stared intently at Li Zhaole.
"Tch, you're as skinny as a bamboo pole. I'll let this old woman off the hook today because you're the adopted daughter of my husband. But you have to apologize to me for offending me today. Since you can't speak, you'd better kneel down and pay your respects."
I wanted to slap Li Zhaole right then and there. This guy is so arrogant and domineering now. No wonder Lin Chao told me to be careful.
The steward hurriedly bowed to Li Zhaole: "Princess, we can't bear to part with her. Although the Marquis only has a fiefdom, he is deeply devoted to the Madam. Now the Marquis is on the battlefield. Before he left, he repeatedly told us to take good care of the Madam. If he finds out, we will all lose our lives."
"Is that so? Then I'll send you on your way today." Li Zhaole drew the sword he was carrying, its blade sharp, and placed it directly next to the steward's neck.
