Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 53 Punishment and Trouble

The Fourth Prince was unable to follow her back to Yiran Courtyard. When Guaerjia walked back by herself, she felt that everyone was staring at her. By chance, she saw two palace maids gathered together in the distance. She immediately thought that these two people were mocking her for not being favored, so she walked over with a group of servants.

The two maids didn't expect the noble to come to their side, so they knelt down hurriedly to pay their respects. Guaerjia listened to the two people paying their respects, gently stroked the tassels on her temples, and found out what was wrong with the two people, "Where are you on duty? Why are you whispering here? Don't you know the palace rules?"

The two palace maids were originally from the same hometown, helping each other and living a precarious life in this palace. Today, they took advantage of their free time to greet each other, but who would have thought that they would be targeted by the angry Guarjia family.

How could I refute the master's words when he said he was guilty? I could only kowtow and beg the concubine of Guaerjia for mercy.

Guaerjia said: "You can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment of life. Then I will punish you with fifty slaps on the face each."

The dowry maid who followed Guaerjia into the palace reminded her, "Concubine, it is not allowed to hurt your face in the palace."

Although Guaerjia was used to being arrogant at home, how could she, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, dare to violate the palace rules when she arrived at the palace? She changed her words and said, "Then I will punish you to kneel here for two hours!" She felt very sorry, because she liked to see these fair faces being ruined the most. After all, she was not as comfortable as at home in the palace.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Guaerjia returned to Yiran Courtyard with ease, not caring at all that in the early spring, kneeling on the cold ground for two hours would break her legs.

This incident happened in full view of the public, and the news spread quickly. Jianqiu, who was in charge of the news, also heard about it, and thought of the opportunity to take advantage of Liu Youyou to attract attention, so he told Liu Youyou about it.

Liu Youyou had just taken off the complicated headdress and was now asking Huichun to give her a scalp massage. Upon hearing this, she felt that Guaerjia was very bold. Not to mention the palace rules, how could you have the right to punish a palace maid?

How could she not take advantage of this good opportunity that came for free? So she told Jianqiu: "These two little palace maids have also suffered an unexpected disaster. It's really pitiful. After these two hours, won't they be disabled? How will they leave the palace and get married in the future? Does the master know about this?"

Jianqiu understood and replied, "This happened in the backyard, so we knew about it earlier. The Fourth Master was busy with government affairs in the front yard, so I'm afraid he doesn't know about it yet!"

Liu Youyou said: "There is no one in charge of the backyard now, so this matter still needs to be handled by the master, otherwise people will think that our mansion enjoys punishing palace maids!"

Jianqiu naturally replied, "Yes." Liu Youyou's connections were not enough to reach the front yard yet, but it was no problem to pass on a message.

Liu Youyou added, "These two hours are very long. It would be best if I could let you see it with your own eyes. It would be best if they didn't have to kneel for so long."

Jianqiu obeyed the order and carried out the work.

Not long after, Su Peisheng entered the study with a difficult look on his face.

The Fourth Prince was newly married these days, and his subordinates were very smart, so he didn't have a lot of official business on hand. Dealing with official business was just an excuse for the Fourth Prince not wanting to spend more time with Guaerjia. It wasn't because Yixiu wanted to be a virgin, but the Fourth Prince disliked Guaerjia's lack of thinking and her lack of control over her words. She was not his type, so he naturally didn't want to put himself in a difficult position.

So when Su Peisheng came in, the Fourth Prince was leisurely reading a book.

The Fourth Prince heard the noise and asked without even looking up, "What's going on?"

Su Peisheng knew the Fourth Prince's habits. He hated being disturbed when he was concentrating on doing something, so Su Peisheng would not enter the study unless there was something that the Fourth Prince had to deal with.

Su Peisheng knelt down and reported: "Fourth Master, I just heard that Concubine Guaerjia punished two palace maids in the small garden and said that they would be made to kneel for two hours."

The Fourth Prince was a man who valued his own power very much. Before there was a mistress in the backyard, it was Nanny Zhao Jia who assisted the Fourth Prince in handling matters.

Now that two concubines have arrived, the Fourth Prince originally planned to observe for a few days and let the two concubines and Nanny Zhao Jia manage the business together. This way, he would not have to worry about others knowing that he favored the concubines too much, nor would he have to worry about anyone acting recklessly after taking power.

But the Fourth Prince did not expect that before the probation period was over, Guwaljia clan caused a big incident on the first day.

The Fourth Prince attached great importance to rules. Guaerjia had no power as a housekeeper, yet she dared to punish the maid at will. The maid was also sent to the palace by a bondservant family, so no master, big or small, dared to punish her at will without actual evidence of her guilt. Besides, only the master and mistress had the power to punish. What kind of mistress was Guaerjia?

The prince's residence in the palace was so small that the people on both sides would know if there was any movement. So what really made the Fourth Prince angry was that Guaerjia would let others get a handle on him. So, without even reading the book, the Fourth Prince hurried to the small garden to deal with the matter.

When he arrived at the small garden, the Fourth Prince saw two staggering figures. The two palace maids were kneeling with their lips turning pale, their foreheads covered with sweat, and their knees touching the ground were already bloody.

The Fourth Prince ordered Su Peisheng with a cold face: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and find a doctor who treats external injuries to treat the disease. Don't leave any root of the disease."

Su Peisheng asked his eunuchs to carry the two maids back to their residence, and he went to invite the imperial physician himself. How could an imperial physician be so easy to invite? Especially to treat the maids. But he had to do this job well, so he had to go there in person.

We have to wait for news about the matter of the palace maid, but Guaerjia has to give an explanation. The Fourth Prince went to Yiran Courtyard. Guaerjia was very happy to hear that the Fourth Prince was coming. She was just about to act coquettishly and ask the Fourth Prince to stay for dinner.

The fourth prince asked sternly, "Guaerjia, do you admit your guilt?"

Guaerjia didn't know what would happen if she punished a palace maid casually. When she was reprimanded, she was at a loss and could only kneel down.

Seeing the ignorant look of Guaerjia, the Fourth Prince wanted to kill her. Do you think that in Guaerjia Mansion, the slaves and servants under them have signed death contracts? You can kill them at will? The Fourth Prince did not want to see Guaerjia, so he directly announced the result of the punishment, and confined her for half a month.

Guaerjia felt that it was an unprovoked disaster. How could she be confined to her parents' home on the first day of marriage? Moreover, she could not even return home for the next half month. How could she live with dignity?

The Fourth Prince didn't care how grief-stricken Guaerjia was. He waved his sleeves and left to continue dealing with the matter.

The baoyi in the harem are deeply rooted and closely related. It is possible that the fact that they can serve in the Fourth Prince's mansion was arranged by the Uya family! Rounding off, in terms of relatives, they may not even be five generations away from the Fourth Prince. It is just that it is not nice to have relatives who serve others, so unless they raise the flag and leave the baoyi, how can the princes and slaves be related?

This matter is neither big nor small, it depends on whether anyone will take the opportunity to cause trouble. So the Fourth Prince notified Concubine De at the same time, and asked her to apologize to Concubine Wenxi, who has the highest position on the surface, on behalf of the Fourth Prince. At the same time, he also wrote an informal letter of apology to Kangxi, and passed it to the Guaerjia Mansion and the Prince. This disaster was caused by your girl, you can deal with it yourself!
