Her legs became numb from squatting for a long time, as if thousands of ants were biting her at the same time. As a result, Jiang Ranli disliked the Ninth Prince even more.
"snort".
After a long while, an angry snort was heard, and then Yinzhen shook his sleeves heavily and left.
Fu Jin Dong E looked at Jiang Ranli with sympathy, then asked her to stand up, and asked Si Xian and Si Dai to help her sit down.
Next, Dong E said a few words to comfort Jiang Ranli, saying that something happened in the mansion and Yin'er had not slept a wink all night, which was why he was like this.
"Thank you, Madam, for pleading for me. I am very grateful. I don't know what happened in the mansion that made you so tired that you couldn't rest all night. Can I help you?"
Although he hated Yinzhen, he had to go against his conscience and pretend to care about him.
Jiang Ranli's words drew sympathetic and sarcastic glances from the women in the hall. One of the extremely charming women even teased her mercilessly, "It would be the greatest help to my master if the concubine doesn't show her face."
As soon as the charming woman said this, all the women in the hall laughed.
Jiang Ranli raised his eyes and looked at the charming woman, his clear eyes burning with rage.
She recognized the woman. She was a concubine of Yinzhen. Although her rank was low, she was very favored and therefore very prominent in the mansion.
Are you mocking me for being ugly? Humph, you think I'm such a pushover.
After sneering in his heart, Jiang Ranli looked at Concubine Dong E, whose face was slightly gloomy, and said, "Concubine, I wonder which Concubine in the mansion that sister is?"
Many women in the hall were still laughing, but when they heard Jiang Ranli's words, their laughter stopped. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang, and there was an attitude of watching a good show in everyone's eyes. The expression of Mrs. Dong E became even gloomier.
Seeing this, the smug look on Zhang's face disappeared instantly, and her charming face with exquisite makeup turned pale as paper in an instant. She knelt down in front of Mrs. Dong E, but her eyes were glaring at Jiang Ranli angrily.
Noticing her gaze, Jiang Ranli blinked his eyes, looking as if he didn't understand why she suddenly changed her expression and knelt down, looking extremely innocent.
"Someone, come here, Zhang's words and deeds are inappropriate. Take her to the Buddhist temple to reflect on her mistakes for a month. No one is allowed to let her out without my order." Concubine Dong E didn't even look at Zhang, and directly ordered someone to take her to the Buddhist temple.
Zhang's face turned even paler when she heard the voice, and her charming face was filled with fear. She crawled to the side of Concubine Dong E on her hands and feet, and said anxiously, "Concubine, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to cross the line again."
In the Qing Dynasty, a city with a strict hierarchy, a little concubine who mocked and insulted the concubine who was recorded in the imperial genealogy would be guilty of a serious crime.
Jiang Ranli's original intention was just to teach Zhang a small lesson, but she didn't expect that the concubine Dong E would punish her so severely. In this Ninth Prince's Mansion where there are countless women and only the laughter of new ones can be heard but the tears of old ones are not seen, if Zhang is locked up in the Buddhist temple for a month, it means that she will never have a chance to turn over again and her life will be over.
"Madam, she has realized her mistake. Please forgive her." Jiang Ranli felt a little sympathetic towards Zhang. Although Zhang mocked her, she didn't want to ruin her.
"Zhang has committed treason and behaved eccentrically. If I tolerate her this time, how will I manage the backyard in the future?" Concubine Dong E was full of aura at this time, not as gentle as usual.
Jiang Ranli was left speechless by these words and had no choice but to lower his eyes and shut up.
