"Who allowed you to act on your own?"
Leng Xi's tone suddenly became sharp, and he raised his cold face to look at Concubine Li.
"You don't have to make the decision about my affairs. I've already told you that when you come to Laixi Palace, just be your wife and don't get involved in other things."
"you……"
"Don't use the same tactics you use in the harem to treat my Xiwang Mansion. Don't mention Xiao Cui's matter again. Don't take her around for no reason. If a maid gets pregnant, you might not be afraid of being embarrassed, but I am."
Concubine Li's face turned pale at this moment. She stared at Leng Xi.
"Are you afraid of embarrassment and yet you do such a thing? If you hadn't gotten the girl pregnant, would I, your mother, have mentioned this matter? What? Now that you have the child, you're not even willing to give her the position of concubine?"
"Humph! That girl is too wild. If I give her a concubine, she would dare to squat on my head and shit."
"That girl is just a bit sharp-tongued, but she has no bad intentions..."
"Stop talking."
Leng Xi suddenly waved his hand to stop her.
"I don't want to repeat what I said a second time. From now on, you should not interfere in any affairs of the palace. Ansheng will be your old lady."
Concubine Li wanted to say a few more words, but seeing Leng Xi's ugly expression, she didn't dare to speak again.
So she frowned, shook her handkerchief, turned around and left angrily.
Yu Qiaoqiao stood there and persuaded awkwardly:
"Be more polite to your mother from now on."
"Polite? She's the type who loves to push people's buttons. If it weren't for her, would I be where I am today? She's always doing all sorts of things behind my back, and as a result, she almost got me into trouble. If she had been sent to the cold palace early like Chang, my life would definitely not be like this."
When mentioning Chang's, Yu Qiaoqiao nodded in agreement.
"You're right. I heard that Chang has been making trouble since returning to Prince Ming's Mansion. Luo Xue is very worried about this."
Leng Ming's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes were cold.
Chang was even more ambitious than his mother, Concubine Li. Otherwise, she would not have been banished to the cold palace.
However, this also turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Leng Ming. Otherwise, Leng Ming would have committed countless big mistakes under her instigation, let alone marrying Luo Xue and becoming a second-rank official in the court.
The next morning,
Mingwang Mansion
Just as Luo Xue was about to go to Huichun Hall, the housekeeper came to her with the accountant.
"Princess, the accountant is looking for you."
Luo Xue looked at the two of them in surprise.
"You came to see me so early in the morning, what's the matter?"
The accountant bowed and clasped his fists and said:
"I've been thinking about this all night, and I think I should tell you."
"Tell me, what's the matter? You're so hesitant."
The accountant pursed his lips.
"Last night, the old lady came to my bank to withdraw a thousand taels of silver, saying she had an urgent need. I didn't want to give it to her, but she said...she said the prince had given her permission, and she said she would fire me if I didn't. You came back late yesterday, so I thought I'd get up early today to ask about it, but I heard that the prince had already gone to court early in the morning, so I came to tell you now."
"One thousand taels?"
Luo Xue couldn't help but repeat herself, "You said she took one thousand taels? And Leng Ming agreed to it?"
The accountant nodded and replied,
"Yes, I took one thousand taels."
Luo Xue looked at the housekeeper,
"Go call the old lady over. I want to see what she wants to do with so much silver. Leng Ming and I went in and out together last night. When did Leng Ming ever agree to let her withdraw one thousand taels of silver?"
"Princess, the old lady went out early in the morning."
"Where did you go?"
"I don't know. She didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask. Now the servants in the mansion don't dare to talk to her. She scolds anyone who speaks to her."
The more she heard this, the angrier Luo Xue became.
Leng Ming's mother is such a troublesome person.
"I understand. We'll deal with this matter after the prince returns. You guys go and get busy. By the way, from now on, apart from me and the prince, no one else is allowed to withdraw money, especially the old lady."
"Yes, Princess."
The housekeeper and the accountant went out together, but Luo Xue became even more angry.
Xiaoli went forward to pour her a glass of water and persuaded her:
"Princess, please calm down. If you get something out of your anger, won't the old lady be even happier? She's eager to take over this family now. You can't fulfill her wish."
"She's dreaming."
Luo Xue panted heavily, "If it weren't for the fact that she's Leng Ming's mother, I wouldn't have given her this face and would have kicked her out long ago."
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to Huichun Hall."
Life must go on. No matter how she acts, she is still Leng Ming's mother.
Leng Ming's annual salary was only 1,500 taels, and she took away 1,000 taels in one go. This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this.
However, it would be better to wait until Leng Ming comes back to deal with this matter, so as to avoid others suspecting that she is bullying her mother-in-law.
…
Inside the Palace
The beautiful girls sent by officials from all over the country had gone through layers of screening and entered the palace early. They were now waiting outside the Qianqing Palace.
Eunuch Bai looked at these people, raised his voice and lectured them:
"Everyone, this is Miss A Cai. She is a lady-in-waiting in the inner court. Not only now, but after you enter the palace, everything will be under her control. Don't dare to say no to her, or I can't guarantee your survival."
Hearing this, the girls lowered their heads and responded quietly.
"yes."
Ah Cai stood in front of these people and began to lecture them.
