Chapter 42: One Life for Another
"Oh? Who wants to take my life?" Feng Peizhi had just finished speaking when Yu Mengqing walked in from outside.
Seeing that no one answered her, Yu Mengqing asked softly, "Feng Peizhi, is that you?"
"Yu Mengqing, do you know who you are talking to?" Feng Peizhi asked.
Yu Mengqing didn't say anything, but walked forward directly and slapped Feng Peizhi in the face with a "slap".
"It seems you still don't know the difference between superiors and inferiors. You dare to speak to this princess in such a tone. This slap is also a lesson for you. You must understand the difference between superiors and inferiors."
After saying this, Yu Mengqing felt even happier when she saw Feng Peizhi's angry expression but unable to speak out.
He continued with a smile, "Why? Are you dissatisfied? Do you need me to explain the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom to you?"
This time Feng Peizhi didn't say anything. She knew that the reason this woman was so arrogant was simply because she relied on her status as a princess.
But her identity as a princess left her speechless.
If it weren't for this identity, she would definitely make her suffer today.
But it's strange to think about it. The last time Yu Mengqing returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she asked someone to inform Concubine Juan of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Tell her that Yu Mengqing secretly returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Sure enough, when she received the news, Aunt Juan did not disappoint her. She immediately sent people to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take her back.
But this time it was very strange. Just like last time, when she knew that Yu Mengqing came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she immediately sent someone to Prince Zhan's Mansion to inform Aunt Juan.
But now a long time has passed, and there has been no sign of any movement from Concubine Juan, and even the maid she sent has not returned.
Feng Peizhi didn't know that her maid Xiaoqing was being held captive in Bihua Courtyard by Luo Lijuan.
Originally, Luo Lijuan wanted to send this person to Liuliyuan, but she failed twice in a row and found that Liuliyuan was empty.
I guess Yu Mengqing should have gone out today. Today, the capital has returned to normal and some shops have begun to open for business.
So Luo Lijuan didn't ask any questions and tied the man up directly, thinking of sending him to Liuliyuan later.
Seeing Feng Peizhi like this, Yu Mengqing temporarily ignored her and asked Yu Menglong, "Is Xiaoxiang here?"
Yu Menglong shook his head, "Not here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoxiang came in with a bowl of medicine and said to Feng Peizhi, "Madam, your medicine is ready."
Hearing this voice, Yu Menglong turned around and saw that it was indeed Xiaoxiang. He pointed at Xiaoxiang and said to Yu Mengqing, "Sister, that's her!"
Xiaoxiang was stunned and only then saw Yu Mengqing and Yu Menglong. At this time, she didn't know that the woman in front of her was Yu Mengqing.
Yu Mengqing had not arrived when she was decocting the medicine, and when she arrived, the medicine was finished. It can be said that the two of them missed each other perfectly.
After she finished boiling the bowl of poison in the backyard, she immediately slipped back to the front yard. She had not had time to inquire about what happened in the backyard that day.
Now seeing Yu Menglong and a woman pointing at him like this, he guessed that Nanny Li must have died, otherwise this nominal young master would not have come to him so angrily.
"Young master, please don't accuse me wrongly. I didn't do anything today." Xiaoxiang said calmly.
"Oh, did Menglong say anything just now? You said he wronged you?" Yu Mengqing asked.
"If he doesn't say that to frame me, then what is it? Besides, I didn't do anything." Xiaoxiang said.
Yu Mengqing narrowed her eyes and looked at Xiaoxiang. Seeing her indifferent look, Yu Mengqing's anger was completely ignited.
She ignored Xiaoxiang and asked Yu Menglong, "Are you sure it's her?"
"Sure, even if she turned into ashes I would still recognize her."
"Oh, very good!"
Then Yu Mengqing walked up to Xiaoxiang and asked, "Did you prepare a prescription for Menglong in the backyard today?"
Xiaoxiang knew it was because of this matter, but even if she admitted it, what could Yu Menglong do to her if he knew?
Thinking of this, Xiaoxiang straightened her back and said, "So what? Even if I made the medicine today, so what?"
Yu Mengqing chuckled, "Do you know that it's poison?"
Xiaoxiang can be said to be a very trusted maid around Feng Peizhi, and this was also what the lady asked her to do.
Xiaoxiang believed that no matter what happened, the lady would protect her.
Thinking of this, Xiaoxiang said confidently: "She's just a nanny, what's so great about her!"
After getting the answer she wanted, Yu Mengqing did not give Xiaoxiang any more chances this time. She directly pulled out the rattan stick, tied Xiaoxiang's neck and pulled her to the front.
He said viciously: "I don't want to do anything, one life for another, I just want to take your life!"
The more she talked, the tighter the cane in his hand became. Xiaoxiang was almost out of breath and kept rolling her eyes.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing let go again, and before she could catch her breath, she tightened her neck again in the same way.
“…”
Repeat this process several times before letting go completely.
Then he whipped Xiaoxiang.
"Ah..." Xiaoxiang immediately rolled on the ground in pain.
"Your wife is right in front of you. Ask her if she dares to plead for you. If she dares, then I, the princess, can spare your life."
Hearing this, Xiaoxiang quickly looked at Feng Peizhi, with a plea in her eyes.
But Xiaoxiang was bound to be disappointed. Not to mention begging for mercy, Feng Peizhi felt scared even if she looked at Yu Mengqing for one more second.
Thinking of Yu Mengqing's cruelty today and the scene of her attacking Xiaoxiang just now, she was already trembling in her heart.
She didn't know when it started, but when she saw Yu Mengqing, she already had this shadow in her heart.
At this time, she already regretted why she sent people to the backyard to cause trouble for them. If Yu Mengqing found out and investigated, would she still be alive?
"See? Your great lady didn't plead for you! So, tell me, do you deserve to die?"
Only then did Xiaoxiang realize that the person in front of her was the princess.
But it was strange that as far as she knew, there was only one princess, and that was the eldest daughter.
But when did that cowardly and ugly young lady become so sharp?
So sharp that even the lady was so scared when she saw her?
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoxiang, hoping for a lucky break, asked Feng Peizhi, "Madam, have you forgotten that this is the ugly concubine from Prince Zhan's mansion? What are you afraid of?"
Feng Peizhi: “…”
"That's right, I am the ugly concubine you mentioned. I will not change my surname or my given name. Yu Mengqing is my princess."
