Su Wenyuan's expression froze; she was only beaten after her identity was exposed.
This isn't hitting Yuexiu, it's trying to beat her up!
Seeing that Su Wenyuan's expression was not right, Yuexiu quickly explained, "No, it's also my fault. I said something that made them angry. I said that they don't even know if they can enter the Prince Chen's mansion yet, so why are they acting like concubines? That's why they hit me."
Su Wenyuan glared at her and said, "You're right. Even I, a princess, wouldn't dare to pretend. What are they pretending for?"
"Even if you've joined the manor before, you can't be this arrogant! You're already bullying others so soon?"
"Knowing you're one of my men, you still attacked me. You're trying to slap me in the face! Come on, which is closer, the Grand Tutor's residence or the Vice Minister of Rites' residence? Let's go there now and see if I don't tear their mansions down!"
"I was mistreated as the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, and I'm still being mistreated as a princess. Do you think I'm dead? You like to steal other people's clothes so much. When they die, I'll make a few more funeral clothes for them."
She walked out cursing as she went, picking up a stick from the side of the room.
The servants who had just comforted Yuexiu in the courtyard all came up to stop Su Wenyuan.
This is no joke. Although they were very touched that Su Wenyuan stood up for Yuexiu, they were still moved.
But if such a big commotion is caused by a mere maid, there will definitely be trouble later, and even if you are in the right, you will lose your right.
Meng Qi hurried to find Sheng Jingyu, but when Sheng Jingyu arrived, Su Wenyuan was still angry.
"Stop fooling around!" Sheng Jingyu snapped, and the crowd dispersed.
"Bring the princess inside." Sheng Jingyu wanted to have a good talk with her.
She wasn't this angry when the Empress wanted to arrange a concubine for him, but now that someone close to her has been slapped twice, she's going to go and beat them up. Doesn't that sound a bit unreasonable?
As soon as the bedroom door closed, Su Wenyuan asked irritably, "What, are you going to lock me up again?"
"What good is it to you? You never learn."
Su Wenyuan was speechless for a moment, then said, "They hit me and stole my things. I went to fight back. Is there a problem with that? I'm still a reasonable person, right?"
“If you go, people won’t think that way; they’ll just think you’re unhappy that they’re going to be concubines,” Sheng Jingyu explained.
Su Wenyuan blurted out, "Is it really necessary to make me this angry over such a trivial matter as being a concubine?"
Troublesome matters? Sheng Jingyu was not happy to hear this. Are two more concubines in the manor less important than two slaps?
"You can't control what others think. Who would believe you called because of your maid?" Sheng Jingyu said in an unfriendly tone.
Sheng Jingyu didn't even need to say these words; she was just so angry.
If only she were there, she could have returned it on the spot.
She's calmed down enough now. She can't pay it back right now, but she has to remember this debt.
"Didn't you want to be a concubine?" Su Wenyuan sneered slightly.
Sheng Jingyu reminded her, "She's just a maid, calm down."
It's not worth getting into arguments over two slaps.
Su Wenyuan had just calmed down when those words agitated her again.
"What do you mean she's just a maid? She's not one of yours!" Su Wenyuan rolled her eyes.
Sheng Jingyu could tell she was unhappy and asked, "Are you angry that they hit someone, or that they hit your maid and made you lose face?"
Whether it's for the sake of face or for the sake of the maid, these are two different things.
Su Wenyuan counted on her fingers: "I'm angry that they bullied me and stole my clothes, I'm angry that they hit me, I'm angry that they didn't give me face, plus I favor Yuexiu, isn't that enough?"
Su Wenyuan understood what he meant; in the eyes of important people, servants were not even human.
"So what if she's a maid? I'm willing to protect her!" Su Wenyuan glared at him before leaving.
Sheng Jingyu could tell that she was angry with her now, and that she had said the wrong thing.
The shopkeeper eventually delivered the clothes to Prince Chen's residence, proceeding with great trepidation, and even managed to retrieve the money.
Business can be cancelled, but people can't be offended.
When Su Wenyuan saw this, she didn't make things difficult for him and let him take the money back.
"Yuexiu, go change your clothes. We're going to visit Madam Mo."
An hour later, Su Wenyuan left the Prince Chen's residence in a grand manner.
Ye Shan asked worriedly, "Is the Princess going to fight?"
Sheng Jingyu wasn't worried at all, saying, "What's so special about fighting? If she's smart, she'll have a better way to do it."
After leaving the clothing shop, Yan Jiao and the others lost interest in continuing their shopping and returned to their respective residences.
These young ladies were either neglected at home or had family members of low rank; in any case, none of them dared to mention the matter after returning to the mansion.
If they were to speak out about offending Princess Consort Chen, they would certainly be punished.
Yan Jiao and He Meiqiu didn't dare to say anything, but they felt they had to say something. While they were hesitating and struggling, Su Wenyuan arrived.
The carriage of Prince Chen's residence stopped outside the Grand Tutor's residence, and a crowd of people immediately gathered around to watch.
The Princess Consort of Prince Chen came to the door in person. Was she here to fight, or to visit the concubine?
When Madam Mo heard this, she was startled and hurriedly went out of the mansion to greet him, feeling a little uneasy.
The image of Su Wenyuan hitting someone was still vivid in her mind; this time, no matter how you looked at it, the person who came was up to no good.
"Go and call Yan Jiao out quickly," Madam Mo hurriedly ordered.
As they were talking, Su Wenyuan walked in, without a smile on her face. Madam Mo's heart pounded, but she still stepped forward with a smile and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess Consort Chen."
Su Wenyuan didn't speak, her gaze fixed on Yan Jiao who came out from the backyard.
Yan Jiao forced herself to bow.
The atmosphere was unusually tense. Just as Madam Mo was about to say something, Su Wenyuan spoke up.
"Get up, everyone. I don't have anything important to do. I just came to have some tea. There's no need for such formalities." After saying that, she reached out and helped Yan Jiao up.
Yan Jiao was flattered, and Madam Mo breathed a sigh of relief, inviting Su Wenyuan to the main hall.
Before she could even settle in, Yan Jiao glanced uneasily at Yuexiu. Sure enough, it was her—the princess's personal maid. She had probably come to interrogate her.
Madam Mo instructed the servants to serve tea and began chatting with Su Wenyuan.
Yan Jiao wanted to talk to Madam Mo about this, but she couldn't find an opportunity.
The two chatted happily, which put Madam Mo at ease. She then brought up the events that followed the banquet hosted by Consort Wan.
"On that day, Her Majesty the Empress invited us to Chengming Palace. We didn't know what it was about. Later, Her Majesty the Empress suddenly said that it was rather lonely that there was only one Princess Consort of Prince Chen now..." Madam Mo looked up and examined Su Wenyuan's expression.
Seeing that she showed no anger, he continued, "Your Majesty knows that I have several daughters, among whom Jiao'er is outstanding, so she has temporarily settled this matter. However, Her Majesty the Empress also said that this matter must be discussed with the Princess Consort."
Madam Mo and Yan Jiao were prepared for Su Wenyuan to be angry.
Unexpectedly, Su Wenyuan laughed and said, "Mother is so thoughtful. This Prince Chen's mansion is indeed deserted. With my sister by my side, it won't be too boring."
