Jiang Ranli raised his eyebrows slightly, and his exceptionally clear eyes swept towards Qingmei, "So you mean that I am making things up and making a big deal out of nothing?"
Seeing her awe-inspiring temperament, Qingmei became a little flustered and quickly looked at Dong E who was standing beside her.
"Sister, it's just that I didn't know my limits. Guoguo is still sleeping, so don't bother with her," Dong E spoke up for Qingmei.
Jiang Ranli's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Dong E with burning eyes.
"Madam, I remember when I first entered the mansion, Zhang was disrespectful to me. At that time, you said that there is no order without rules, and you immediately punished Zhang to go to the Buddhist temple. Until now, Zhang is still reflecting on her mistakes in the Buddhist temple." Having said this, Jiang Ranli looked at Dong E, smiled and continued, "I know Qingmei is your person, and I have no intention of targeting her. It's just that I am really worried that you, Madam, will misunderstand me because of the words of a servant who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter."
The last time Jiang Ranli was forcibly taken away by Dong E and lynched, Yinzhen dealt with all the servants around Dong E and in the courtyard. Qingmei escaped the disaster because she was out. Therefore, she is the only useful person around Dong E now and is highly valued by Dong E.
Jiang Ranli would not be stupid enough to attack Qingmei in Concubine Yi's Yiku Palace, but she was not easy to bully. Today's situation was obviously set up by Dong E and Qingmei, the master and servant. Jiang Ranli's temper was not good enough to allow others to bully her.
Dong E's face looked a little solemn at this time. Although Jiang Ranli kept saying that he was worried that she would misunderstand, what he actually said was that Qingmei was disrespectful to her, and he used the incident with Zhang in the past as a prelude. Dong E was not stupid, and was extremely shrewd. She naturally understood what he meant.
At this time, Dong E clenched her hands slightly in the hand warmer. Qingmei was the only person she could use now, and she was related to the success or failure of a future event, so she couldn't let anything go wrong. But this was the Yiku Palace, and she was surrounded by Concubine Yi's people, so this matter had to have a result.
After struggling for a moment, Dong E glanced at Qingmei and said, "You have such a tactless mouth that you dare to alienate the relationship between me and my sister. I slap her in the face."
Faced with Dong E's punishment, Qingmei did not dare to raise any objection even though she was unwilling. She also knew that she was in a difficult situation, so she simply raised her hand and hit herself in the face.
Listening to the crisp applause and looking at Qingmei's instantly swollen face, Jiang Ranli gently covered the little girl's ears, and then said, "Forget it, I think you know you are wrong. For the sake of Fu Jin's face, let it go. You have to be more careful in the future and don't talk nonsense in this palace, otherwise next time, it will not be just a slap in the face."
Jiang Ranli spoke with a look of concern, but in fact his eyes and brows were as cold as the wind outside.
Hearing her words, Qingmei paused, but did not stop, and looked at Dong E.
Dong E was furious at Jiang Ranli's practice of giving a sweet date after giving a slap in the face. She cursed Jiang Ranli for being hypocritical in her heart. If he had been willing to let it go earlier, why did he speak up after Qingmei took action?
If Jiang Ranli knew that Dong E called her hypocritical, she would definitely laugh out loud, because compared with Dong E, her hypocrisy was nothing.
At Dong E's signal, Qingmei completely stopped slapping herself. Her originally pretty cheeks were now swollen and looked quite scary.
"Fujin, let's continue the story we were telling."
Taking his gaze away from Qingmei's face, Jiang Ranli looked at Dong E with a broad smile.
