Chapter 132 Cut off her hand

There's no way she could be with that unfavored woman.

So Concubine Zhu deliberately wasted time.

Xia Xue guessed that the housekeeper was waiting for Concubine Zhu. After all, Concubine Zhu was the only one who knew the place best. But looking at the current situation, it seemed that Concubine Zhu was not willing to come.

After a while, the servant who was sent by the butler to inform Concubine Zhu came back and whispered a few words in the butler's ear.

The housekeeper's expression changed, "How come Concubine Zhu has no sense of the overall situation?"

The servant lowered his head and didn't dare to respond. What a joke! He was asked to comment on his master. How many more years did he want to live?

The housekeeper thought for a moment and whispered, "Go tell the prince and ask him to send someone to call him."

"Yes!" The servant went out again.

Xia Xue raised her lips, "Princess Zhu, please do whatever you want. Before I came, I had heard that the wife of Prince Li was not in good health, and all matters in the palace had to be handled by Princess Zhu. I am here just to visit Aunt Seven and chat casually. It's no trouble."

"No, no, the prince has already given instructions. Concubine Zhu has something on hand right now, so she will be here soon." The housekeeper was also angry with Concubine Zhu, so he implicitly acknowledged the fact that Concubine Zhu was unwilling to come.

Xia Xue nodded and said nothing more. At this time, the two of them had already walked to the door of the inner room. Several of Concubine Zhu's maids were standing at the door with their hands on their waists.

Seeing the housekeeper coming with a woman, they guessed that it might be a female member of the guests' family, or maybe a servant, so the maids showed no intention of making way.

"Qingzhu, what are you guys doing standing at the door? Is Seventh Aunt resting now? A distinguished guest is coming, go and tell them." The maid named Qingzhu was naturally the most valued maid by Concubine Zhu.

Qingzhu curled her lips sarcastically. The housekeeper was quite pretentious. "Auntie is in there. She said she wanted to take a rest and asked the servants to wait for her." Qingzhu said, with disdain in her voice.

The housekeeper frowned. Concubine Zhu's maids were usually arrogant and didn't even take him, the housekeeper, seriously. Qingzhu obviously ignored what he had just said.

"This lady brought some things for Seventh Aunt. You should find a place to accommodate her." The housekeeper deliberately ignored the word "Prime Minister" and just said "this lady".

Xia Xue heard the clue in the words. The housekeeper wanted to let her find the problem on purpose.

In fact, one can get clues from the way the head maid addressed Seventh Aunt and the tone of her voice.

Xia Xue wanted to laugh in her heart. These maids were used to serving domineering masters, so they didn't care about anyone.

Well, then she would do something good today, to help Qingping vent his anger, to help Seventh Aunt vent her anger, and to help the housekeeper vent his anger as well.

"Where are the things?" Qingzhu asked with a frown. The concubine particularly hated messy things. This time, Seventh Aunt's things had to be placed in the room. It was really annoying. But fortunately, maybe these were some good things that Princess Qingping brought back from the Southern Kingdom. When the time comes, let people take a look and let the concubine choose the good ones.

As soon as he finished speaking, several maids came over quickly carrying a large box.

"So big?" Qingzhu exclaimed, realizing that she had lost her composure a bit, and smiled awkwardly, "The prince has bought a lot of things for my aunt recently, and I'm afraid there's no place in the room to put such a big box."

Qingzhu found a reason.

"Really? Then let me go in and take a look." After Xia Xue finished speaking, she took a step forward and was blocked by Qingzhu.

"Aunt is still resting." Qingzhu said.

"So, this is how you entertain guests in your palace? I will go and ask Seventh Aunt myself whether she will not let me in?" Xia Xue said as she pulled the green bamboo.

Qingzhu also got angry and responded instinctively.

Xia Xue staggered and took a few steps back.

The housekeeper was shocked. He knew that Concubine Zhu's maids were arrogant, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant and look down on everyone.

Qingzhu didn't expect her instinctive reaction to be so strong. She glanced at Xia Xue and guessed that Xia Xue did it on purpose. But when she remembered what Concubine Zhu said before she left, that it was the Prime Minister and the women in the mansion who were coming, she thought it was most likely the Prime Minister's wife who was not favored.

Even though she has the title of the Prime Minister's wife, so what? If she is not favored, she won't be able to make any waves. Besides, the Prime Minister is not as good as the prince after all. Maybe in the prince's mansion, the Prime Minister will feel embarrassed and won't do anything.

The maids who were carrying boxes behind her were not happy and dropped the boxes on the ground with a "bang". The next second, four of them stood in front of Xia Xue.

Xia Xue was stunned for a moment. How come these girls were so skilled?

Several maids of Concubine Zhu looked at the situation, as if they were going to fight, and stood beside the green bamboo.

Are you kidding? This is Prince Li’s palace.

Thinking of this, Qingzhu and several maids straightened their backs.

Xia Xue suddenly wanted to laugh. Like master, like dog. This Concubine Zhu, with the people around her like this, doesn't necessarily mean she is very smart. She is just used to being spoiled by Prince Li and doesn't treat other people as human beings.

"Butler, I have just told you that I am here today on behalf of the emperor. Is this true?" Xia Xue said in a deep voice.

The butler lowered his head, "Yes, ma'am, you said so."

When Qingzhu heard this, he was shocked. What emperor? What did this woman say?

"In that case, the maid just pushed me, which is equivalent to pushing the emperor. Don't you think so?" Xia Xue continued.

The butler lowered his head even more, "Whatever the madam says is correct."

"With so many people here, the butler must remember what he said. When Prince Li comes to ask about it later, you must provide proof."

The butler was sweating profusely, he just wanted to watch the show, why was he dragged into this, no!!!

"Why, the housekeeper doesn't want to?"

"Of course not, I am willing! I am willing!" The housekeeper really wanted to kowtow to her.

Qingzhu was confused. Why couldn't she understand what this woman and the housekeeper were talking about?

"Whoever among you has the ability to break Qingzhu's hand will be rewarded by me." Xia Xue said calmly.

"Madam, do you need to break one or two?" asked a maid.

"The one I just pushed my wife."

Qingzhu sneered, as if they were talking nonsense. "Are you talking sensible words? I want to see who dares to break my hand!"

Several other maids also showed contempt on their faces. They had always been the ones teaching others a lesson. When would it be their turn to teach them a lesson? Moreover, these other people all came to see Seventh Aunt.

What kind of person is Seventh Aunt? Even when Sister Qingzhu slapped her, she would thank me repeatedly.

As soon as Qingzhu finished speaking, a figure flashed by, and the next second, an extremely terrible scream was heard.

Chu Zhenxuan and Prince Li, who had just walked to the door, rushed in quickly when they heard the call.
