Chapter 306 Princess Zhaoning was kicked into the water
"What, where is she, how is she, is there anyone to help her?"
Su Qianqian walked in front. This was no small matter. Several old ladies from the Qin family hurriedly followed behind. Some people who were just watching the fun heard it and followed quietly.
"In the warm water pool in the middle of the flower room, Princess Zhaoning should be fine. Her maids and Princess Zhaoyang's maids are pulling her..."
"I'm talking about the Fifth Miss!" Su Qianqian stopped the girl from speaking.
The person following behind couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand: You really don't take the princess seriously!
"The Fifth Miss is very angry, but the Fourth Miss has also gone there. I was worried that the matter would get out of hand, so I hurried here to report."
The little girl is the personal maid of the fifth lady Qin Yuqi, and she is quite smart.
The group hurried to the greenhouse, and Su Qianqian roughly understood what was going on and had an idea in her mind.
The greenhouse in the marquis's mansion is several hundred square meters. The warm water pool in the middle always maintains a constant temperature. Various kinds of flowers bloom around the warm water pool in a riot of colour.
At this time, a group of people gathered by the pool. Sisters Qin Yuping and Qin Yuqi held their waists and confronted Princess Zhaoning's maids. Princess Zhaoning sat on a chair by the pool with a cloak around her, screaming.
Behind the two sisters, Su Ye's mother knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, and begged for mercy.
"What happened? Did Princess Zhaoning want to play in the water, or did she slip and fall into the water?"
Su Qianqian walked forward and asked with a smile, pulling the two sisters behind her.
"Madam, your house has such strict rules that servants dare to yell at me. This little...girl even kicked me into the water. This is an attempt to murder me!
I want you to beat this slave to death immediately, and then make this little girl kneel down and kowtow to me to apologize. Otherwise, I will go back and report to my mother and father that your Qin family relies on its merits and even looks down on the princess! ”
The warm water pool was very shallow, only reaching the calf at most. After Zhao Ning fell into the water, she must have fallen in a panic and got splashed with water, which made her look so messy. Now, except for her outer cloak which was dry, her inner dress was still dripping with water along the chair, and there was a small puddle of water on the blue bricks beside the pool.
Su Qianqian couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Ning's appearance. The daughter of a noble concubine always resorted to some low-brow tricks. This time she was clearly here to provoke. No matter what the Qin family did, she could find fault with it.
It’s just that in the past, she had used her little tricks to compete for benefits with Zhaoyang, so why did she target the Qin family this time?
"Princess Zhao Ning, do you mean that the flower room manager taught you a lesson? How dare she do that?"
Su Qianqian's face was full of anger, which stunned Princess Zhaoning. Even Su Ye and her mother showed panic on their faces.
No matter how protective the Qin family is, they would never offend the princess for the sake of a servant!
Several old ladies were also at a loss. Did Su Qianqian really want to sacrifice the pawns to save the king?
"Manager Lin, please tell me how you disrespected Princess Zhaoning and made her angry. You must tell me the truth, or you will die knowing the truth."
Su Qianqian looked at Su Ye's mother and winked at her in a direction where Princess Zhaoning couldn't see.
Su Ye naturally saw it as well, and hurriedly whispered to her frightened mother to tell the truth.
"I... I know that there will be distinguished guests coming to the mansion today. I have arranged the flowers according to the housekeeper's instructions and am waiting here. If any distinguished guests ask, I will explain a few things.
When Princess Zhaoning came in to see the flowers, I didn't dare to go forward. It was when Princess Zhaoning asked about the names of the flowers and their flowering period that I went forward to serve her. However, Princess Zhaoning wanted to pick the flowers... I had to stop her.
This flower... is poisonous. You can look at it but not touch it. The princess is a precious girl. I cannot bear the consequences if she is poisoned by the flower! ”
"You are talking nonsense! This is clearly the most ordinary Yunlan, how can it be poisonous? Madam Hou, why are you still listening to her excuses? Come, drag her out and beat her to death!"
Princess Zhaoning shouted and gave orders to her maids.
"Your Highness, even if it's in the government office, the case must be thoroughly investigated before a verdict can be made. Unprovoked private punishment that resulted in the death of a family slave should be sentenced to exile. Princess Zhaoning wouldn't want to convict our mansion, would she?"
Su Qianqian had a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold. She raised her hand to block the palace maids who were trying to catch people.
"How could I harm you? Let her speak and see how she can argue." Princess Zhaoning's eyes flickered.
"Manager Lin, please continue. What happened next?" Su Qianqian turned around and asked again.
"Madam, this is not cloud orchid, but geranium. Although the flower is gorgeous, its juice is poisonous. I was worried that the princess would be poisoned, so I stopped her from picking it. Who knew that I would anger the princess, and she asked me... to eat this flower..."
Manager Lin lowered his head, but he could still see bruises and swelling on the side of her face. She must have been beaten.
"Nonsense, it's obviously you who didn't want me to enjoy the flowers, you said something disrespectful to me, and you even lied that the flowers were poisonous. How could this flower be..."
"Manager Lin, since the princess said this flower is not poisonous, then it must be non-toxic. How can you contradict the princess?"
Su Qianqian interrupted Zhao Ning.
"That's right, so this servant..."
"Manager Lin, go pick one of these flowers and give it to Princess Zhaoning's maid. If she eats it and nothing happens to her, you have to eat it too, and you will be punished."
Su Qianqian once again interrupted Princess Zhaoning's shouting and gave serious instructions to Manager Lin.
At this time, Manager Lin obeyed Madam Hou's orders, quickly put on his special gloves for tending flowers, and went to cut flowers. On the other side, several palace maids of Princess Zhaoning were trembling all over, silently praying to the gods in their hearts not to choose them.
Su Ye took the flowers and put them on a plate, then walked up to the palace maids holding the plate.
"Which palace maid can taste this flower? Since the princess said it is not poisonous, then go ahead and give it a try."
Su Ye held the plate in front of the palace maids, her little face full of pride.
Several palace maids pushed the flowers to each other and no one reached out to take them. Later, they simply knelt down and begged the princess for mercy.
"Your Highness, is it necessary to test whether this flower is poisonous or not? Flowers need to be placed in vases in the palace. Don't the palace maids know geraniums and know that they are poisonous? Since it is really poisonous, Steward Lin's stopping the princess was originally well-intentioned, so what crime has he committed?"
Su Qianqian waved her hand and asked Su Ye to take the flowers away.
"When I came in, the maids were beating Steward Lin. Steward Lin was begging for mercy, but the princess refused to give in and told them to beat him to death. I tried to stop her from beating me, but she fell into the pool with a wave of her hand."
Qin Yuqi said angrily.
"That's right. No matter whether it's the master or the servant, they should be punished for doing something wrong, but she shouldn't die. And Manager Lin didn't do anything wrong!" Qin Yuping also said loudly with his chest puffed out.
"How dare you! I say she is guilty, so she is guilty. You, the Marquis of Wuning, are not strict with your subordinates and are disrespectful to me. Since the Marquis's wife is protecting her and refusing to punish her, I will return to the palace to report to my father, the emperor, and my mother!"
Princess Zhaoning said this and stood up and walked out.
