The two maids seemed not to have noticed Princess Zhaoping not far away.
The position between them and Princess Zhaoping and her two servants was also quite delicate, separated by a small flower pond. It was a distance that was easy to see and hear if you paid attention, but you would have to go around the whole circle to meet them.
Princess Zhaoping was furious when she heard this!
These two audacious and shameless maids not only dared to speak ill of Consort Jin and Song Huiru, but they even dared to include her in these baseless and sordid affairs!
Such things are most easily spread by word of mouth.
If too many people start talking about it, she won't be able to clear her name even if she jumps into the Yellow River!
"How dare you..."
Simeng and Siyi listened leisurely for half a day before remembering to scold him.
But their rebukes had barely left their mouths.
Hearing that someone was there, the two maids quickly took two steps and disappeared into the bushes of the artificial hill in front of them.
Princess Zhaoping was still recovering from her illness and was so angry that her chest heaved violently. She didn't even notice why Simeng and Siyi had only thought of standing up for her after listening for half a day.
In this mansion, she is, after all, the legitimate wife of the Ninth Prince.
Even if she couldn't do anything to the bandits, could she really not do anything to these concubines, wives, and maids?!
"You, go and bring those two vile women to me!" Princess Zhaoping walked to a chair in the side corridor and sat down, holding onto the railing, her body trembling with anger.
Simeng and Siyi exchanged a glance.
Although they don't care much about the disgraced Princess Zhaoping now, they know that they still have to stay with her for a while before the Empress Dowager explicitly abandons her. Therefore, maintaining Princess Zhaoping's status and prestige is, when necessary, maintaining their own status and prestige.
And this kind of thing, borrowing someone else's power to intimidate others, is exactly what they're most willing to do.
“Yes, Princess,” Simeng responded readily.
“Princess, Consort Jin is an elder in the household. If we want to suppress her, the three of us probably can’t do it. We need to call a few more people to bolster our strength. I’ll go back to Dianxiang Pavilion to call some people right away,” Siyi said eagerly.
Having said that, without waiting for Princess Zhaoping's consent, the two maids simply turned around and left her behind.
Princess Zhaoping: "..."
Something feels off.
After sitting for a while, I felt a loneliness I had never experienced before.
Princess Zhaoping was shocked to realize that she had no maids serving her anymore, and a cold sweat broke out on her back.
In the backyard of this scheming household.
Being alone, especially at a high place or by the water, is extremely dangerous. You never know when someone might suddenly appear behind you and push you off the high place or into the water!
She had been walking around the palace since childhood, and almost every time she entered the palace, she would hear stories such as a certain concubine who died mysteriously because she was alone for various reasons.
Thinking about it this way, Princess Zhaoping became even more terrified.
She gripped the railing tightly, looking around nervously.
When Simeng and Siyi returned with their respective groups, Princess Zhaoping was already deathly pale, having scared herself half to death.
Shanyu Heye and Song Huiru followed Simeng calmly. When they saw Princess Zhaoping's timid and cowardly appearance from afar, a hint of contempt flashed in their eyes.
The two approached Princess Zhaoping and greeted her in unison.
Princess Zhaoping felt safer when she saw that Siyi had brought a lot of her own people with her, and slowly recovered.
