Chapter 98 Compensation
"It hurts, it hurts, be gentle, do you know how to serve me? If not, get out." Song Rouxi lay on the soft couch, her whole body twitching in pain, and she vented her anger on Yunxi who was applying medicine behind her.
Li Yao's eyes flashed, "Can't you be gentler? Are you trying to hurt the young lady on purpose?"
She snatched the medicine from Yunxi's hand and pushed it hard. Yunxi took a few steps back, her face pale.
"Useless thing." She said with a distressed look on her face, "My daughter, look at your skin, which used to be shiny and smooth, but now you've been beaten like this."
"Mom, this is all the fault of that bitch Song Ci!"
Perhaps she used too much force and pulled the wound, causing her face to wrinkle.
"Stop talking so loudly. You're injured like this, and we don't know how long it will take to heal. I just hope there won't be any scars." Li Yao looked worried.
This will leave a scar. What if my husband sees it and dislikes me when I get married?
Song Rouxi didn't know what her mother was thinking, she was just filled with annoyance.
Qin is missing and she doesn't know what to do next.
At this time.
"Miss, it seems that the attendants of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived at the door."
When she heard the prince, she raised her head excitedly, "What are you doing standing there, Prince's men? Come in quickly! Go now."
Yun Xi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I'll go right away."
The prince's attendant was a young and handsome eunuch. When he came in, two young eunuchs were holding a box behind him.
Song Rouxi was a little confused, but her tone was still respectful, "Eunuch, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask you to come?"
"Miss Song, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows you're injured, and he sent me here at full speed to bring you this medicine. This medicine has the effect of promoting blood circulation and regenerating tissue. No matter how large the wound is, it will definitely not leave a scar."
"Thank you, Prince." Song Rouxi was still very happy in her heart. She had just sent someone to deliver a message to the prince not long ago. The person came so quickly. Doesn't it mean that the prince has her in his heart?
Besides, she was worried about the injury on her back, and the prince's arrival just solved a problem.
"But..." She frowned, her tone aggrieved, "I had already obtained this zither, but someone took it away halfway through. What should I do?"
The attendant smiled, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.
I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sees in Miss Song. She is more of a hindrance than a help. Her scheming and tactics are not as good as those carefully cultivated by aristocratic families. Everything she is thinking is shown on her face.
Such a person actually wants to be the queen of the harem?
He concealed his expression and said respectfully, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already known about this. Although he is a little disappointed, Miss Song did not mean it. The Crown Prince said that he has prepared another gift, so please rest assured, Miss."
"What has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been busy with these days? I want to see him, is that okay?"
Song Rouxi's eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness. She looked at the servant expectantly, waiting for his reply.
Speaking of which, I haven’t seen the prince for half a month.
Although the prince is still nice to her now, she can't guarantee what will happen in the future. She still understands the principle of showing affection when meeting someone.
The attendant said, "Miss Song, there is a war going on up ahead. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness Prince Yu have been with the Emperor these days. I'm afraid they won't be able to see you for the time being."
"Not available?" Song Rouxi raised her eyebrows, feeling slightly disappointed.
The attendant nodded, instructed his men to put the things down, and then said, "If Miss Song has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Yunxi, be smart, why don't you go and see your father-in-law off."
Yunxi was startled and hurried to catch up. The servants she saw shook their heads again. He spoke harshly and harshly to his subordinates, but did not show them any favors. Over time, he lost the support of the people. It turned out that he was not as good as the one chosen by the Queen herself.
Yunxi sent the person out and came back.
Before I could catch my breath, Tian'er came to the door.
Song Rouxi raised her eyebrows and asked in a bad tone, "What are you doing here?"
"Get out! Who allowed you to enter the yard of our main house? Get out now!" Li Yao had been filled with anger because of his daughter's injury.
Seeing Tian'er at this moment, he couldn't help it.
Can the people around Song Ci be good people?
"I'm here to deliver a message for the Third Young Lady." Tian'er said calmly, "The eldest young lady's maid broke a white porcelain vase made in the inner chamber of my young lady's home. Who will pay for it?"
Yun Xi, who was standing in the corner, shuddered and felt her whole body go limp.
Here it comes, Miss San really doesn't intend to let me go. It's just a bottle, why do you have to force me?
"What bottle! You're talking nonsense! Go away!"
Song Rouxi scolded.
"If you don't believe me, Miss, why not ask Yunxi yourself? Mr. Pei's men were watching yesterday, and she smashed the bottle with her own hands."
"What the hell is this bottle? It's just a cheap item. Your lady even made you go all the way here to ask for money. That's really not decent."
Li Yao sneered, what good things could there be in the third house that were worth asking for? What a shameless person.
"Madam, you might not know this, but this thing was made in-house." Tian'er explained with a smile, "This is a gift from Princess Le Yi. It's from the palace."
"From the palace? They're all members of the Song family. Is breaking a bottle worth making such a fuss?"
Li Yao had no idea what the internal structure was, but Song Rouxi's expression next to him was obviously not right.
"The Emperor's reward represents His Majesty's grace. To break it like this, isn't that disrespectful to the Emperor?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this bottle..."
"Mom!" Song Rouxi's face suddenly changed. "Stop talking. This bottle is broken. If I really blame you, it's a capital crime that could cost you your head."
"Ah!" Li Yao panicked immediately and looked at Yun Xi fiercely. "It's all this damn girl's fault. We might as well beat her to death. After all, it's none of our business what she broke."
Yun Xi was so frightened that she knelt down and kowtowed three times to the two of them. "Madam, Miss, please, for the sake of my service, please forgive me this time! I didn't mean it."
"I didn't mean it, but if you really did, what would happen!" Li Yao cursed angrily, then turned around and said, "She's just a maid, just beat her to death. We can't afford the blame anyway."
Song Rouxi used to think that her mother was elegant and capable, and she admired her very much.
Why didn’t I realize before that my mother was so ignorant?
I am her servant. If I make a mistake, what is the difference between that and my own mistakes?
Yun Xi's face was ashen, she sat there dejectedly, anger burning in her heart. Was she going to be abandoned just because she was a slave? She had done so much for the eldest wife!
What's more, she knows the eldest lady's secret!
Song Rouxi obviously knew this as well. She gritted her teeth and said, "No, Yunxi has been with me for so many years and has worked for me. I can't let you harm her."
