Granny Zhang froze, a chill running down her spine. After she came to her senses, she was filled with resentment and contempt.
"Miss, don't be ungrateful. Madam treats you better than her own children. Doing this will only give outsiders something to talk about."
Whether you divorce or are abandoned, you've fallen from the high and mighty Crown Princess back to your original state. Don't blame me for not reminding you; you must know the rules and have a grateful heart. Otherwise, even if you marry again, you'll still be kicked out and embarrass the Marquis.
Granny Zhang openly and subtly mocked, saying that she was using both soft and hard tactics to make Mu Chenshuang submit. She refused to believe that she couldn't deal with this little slut.
Suddenly, Mu Chenshuang asked, "Linglong, according to the rules of the Marquis's mansion, what is the punishment for insubordination?"
Linglong replied, "Slap him, give him five strokes of the cane, and deduct a month's salary."
"Granny Zhang, tell me, should I give you five strokes of the cane first, or slap you across the face first?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mama's pupils dilated suddenly, and she said in a panic, "Miss, you...you dare? I am the Madam's person, you have no right to punish me. Besides, how could an old servant be so disrespectful? I was just kindly reminding you, is this what you call disrespect? Even if you take this to the Emperor, Miss, you will have no right to do so."
Mu Chenshuang remained expressionless and indifferent. "In that case, Zhang Mama, come with me to the palace now to meet the Emperor and repeat what you just said."
He was about to leave when he said that.
These words startled Zhang Mama so much that her legs went weak. As a servant of the Marquis's mansion, how could she dare to see the Emperor? If she were to see the Emperor, wouldn't that imply that Mu Chenshuang had no power in the Marquis's mansion and couldn't even make decisions for a servant? Moreover, she now held the status of a princess.
She knew very well what was right and wrong, what was important and what was not.
Granny Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mu Chenshuang, and said hastily, "Miss, I misspoke just now. I was just worried that something might happen to you again. Since you want to arrange for them to stay in the outer courtyard, then we will do as you say."
The most important thing right now is to keep these four maids in Tingxue Courtyard. We'll report the rest back to the madam later; there are plenty of ways to teach this little slut a lesson.
Mu Chenshuang didn't say anything more.
The four maids were then assigned to the outer courtyard of Tingxue Courtyard.
After the group left.
Linglong said worriedly, "Miss, if we leave them here, I don't think Madam has good intentions."
"Keep them for now, they'll come in handy. When the time is right, I'll get them out of here."
Currently, the Marquis's mansion is under Lu Wei's control. Even though she is the eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion and a princess, she cannot make decisions in the mansion. She needs to take back what belongs to her step by step. Lu Wei is a menace if she stays in the Marquis's mansion.
Granny Zhang rushed back to Lu Wei's courtyard immediately and told her what had happened.
Mu Yazhi was furious when she heard Zhang Mama's report. "You ungrateful wretch!"
Lu Wei leisurely savored her morning tea and said, "It was expected. This little brat has become smarter now. It's alright. Just leave the four of them in the outer courtyard of Tingxue Courtyard. They can still get things done."
Hearing Lu Wei's words, Zhang Mama breathed a sigh of relief. "Then, Madam, what should we do next?"
Lu Wei raised her hand, and Zhang Mama bent down to help her up. She walked to the door and said, "Ya'er, it's almost time. Come with me to the main gate to welcome Princess Jinhua and the young lady from the Prime Minister's residence."
Princess Jinhua is Feng Guche's younger sister, and the current prime minister is her husband.
Mu Yazhi followed, her anger subsiding somewhat after hearing her mother's arrangements. She was now ready to watch the show.
