Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Qingxue's face turned pale and she hurriedly pulled off her sleeves to cover the scar.

"I bumped into it accidentally, Princess, there is not enough water. I will go to the kitchen and bring a basin."

She walked towards the small kitchen, and when she came out with some clean water, Feng Qingluan noticed that there was something wrong with the way her right foot walked.

"Your leg was also hit?" Feng Qingluan asked again.

Qingxue's eyes flashed with panic: "No, no, I sprained my ankle when I was walking."

Feng Qingluan didn't believe it. Today she went to the palace to serve tea to the emperor and empress, and she didn't bring any maids with her, so Qingxue stayed at home.

Speaking of her, of the two dowries that came with marrying into Prince Xiao's Mansion, after Nanny Yuan died, only Qingxue was left. One can imagine how the people in the palace would treat her when she was not at home.

Feng Qingluan walked up to Qingxue, squatted down, lifted up her trouser legs, and saw a large bruise on her calf. "Who did this?"

Qingxue covered her legs in panic, "Miss, I'm fine."

Feng Qingluan said: "You are my dowry maid. If someone bullies you, it is a slap in my face. Do you want to be bullied all the time?"

Qingxue's eyes were red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Miss, I don't want to... and I don't want to cause you any trouble."

Feng Qingluan said: "If we don't solve the current problem, there will be more trouble in the future. Tell me, who hurt you?"

Seeing that she had no intention of suppressing the matter, Qingxue had no choice but to tell the truth:

"It's Aunt Cui. It was almost lunchtime. I saw that the princess hadn't come back yet, so I wanted to go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare the meal and send it over. I met Aunt Cui in the kitchen."

Nanny Cui is Feng Shuyao's dowry nanny, and a member of the Pan family. She used to bully Qingxue in private when she was in the Marquis' Mansion. Now that she is here, she relies on the fact that King Chu favors Feng Shuyao and still does not take her master seriously.

Feng Qingluan raised the wolf tooth stick, and her voice became a little colder, "It seems that I have wasted my time washing this stick. I have to eat another round of human blood."

She took Qingxue to the kitchen.

After Nanny Cui followed Feng Shuyao to the palace, she was assigned to be the manager in the kitchen.

Feng Shuyao suddenly fell ill. She ordered people to watch over her while she boiled medicine and prepared meals. When she saw Feng Qingluan and Qingxue coming, she walked over and pretended to be respectful, "This old servant pays respect to the princess."

Feng Qingluan knocked the wolf-tooth stick on the table, making a "bang" sound, and all the busy people in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Feng Qingluan looked around at everyone and said, "When Qingxue came to the kitchen to ask about this princess's meal, someone hit her. Who were they? Please stand up."

The people in the kitchen looked at each other and no one spoke.

Madam Cui said with a fake smile, "Princess, you misunderstood. Qingxue is the first-class maid in Hengwu Courtyard. She came to order meals for the princess. How dare the servants hit her? Maybe she bumped into something and is blaming us servants."

Feng Qingluan looked at Qingxue: "Qingxue, is that so?"

Qingxue didn't want to make a big deal out of it and cause trouble for the princess, but Nanny Cui lied with her eyes open, bullying her and slandering her. She got angry and said to Feng Qingluan:

"Princess, that's not the case. I came to give orders for the meals. Nanny Cui said that the prince favored the concubine and disliked the princess, so she asked the kitchen staff to prepare the meals for Xilingxuan first and not to worry about the princess. She also said that the concubine was sick and needed to boil medicine, so there were not enough people to prepare the meals for Hengwuyuan.

But there are so many people in the kitchen, how can they not be busy? It's obvious that they don't want to do it. I was so angry that I said a few words, and she pushed me down and hit me with a rolling pin. "

Feng Qingluan asked: "Did you see clearly who did it?"

Qingxue pointed at a few maids and said, "She, she... Aunt Cui also took action. She ordered people to beat me."

Feng Qingluan picked up the wolf-tooth stick and slowly walked towards Nanny Cui.

Seeing her calm expression, Aunt Cui thought she was the easy-to-bully master of the Marquis' Mansion, and said sarcastically:

"Princess, don't blame us servants. You are not favored in the palace, so can't we first give preferential treatment to the favored concubines?"

"A concubine?"

Feng Qingluan kicked Nanny Cui on the knee, and Nanny Cui screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

She walked around behind Aunt Cui and said, "This princess is the mistress of this palace. Feng Shuyao is just a concubine. What qualifications does she have to climb over my head and let you treat her preferentially first?"

She raised the wolf-tooth stick and, in front of everyone's gaze, hit Aunt Cui's right calf with the stick with steel nails.

Aunt Cui's screams rang out in the kitchen, and everyone else was frightened and covered their mouths in fear.

Aunt Cui was lying on the ground, blood flowing from her legs, screaming: "It hurts, someone, open it, my leg..."

Feng Qingluan didn't stop and no one dared to come forward to help.

Not only did she hammer the steel nails into Aunt Cui's legs, she also rolled the wolf-tooth stick left and right before slowly taking it out of her legs.

Madam Cui turned pale, rolled on the ground holding her legs, and cursed at Feng Qingluan:

"Feng Qingluan, you little bitch, I am the concubine's person, if you dare to hurt me, the prince will not forgive you if he finds out!"

She was crawling on the ground, trying to grab something to stand up. She caught a glimpse of the medicine simmering on the fire from the corner of her eye. A sinister look flashed in her triangular eyes. Just as Feng Qingluan raised the mace and dropped it on her other leg, she pushed the medicine furnace to the ground.

"what!"

This time, Madam Cui was really about to die from the pain. The feeling of the steel nails piercing her flesh and blood made her feel dizzy.

"Isn't it too much to cripple one of your legs for insulting this princess?"

Feng Qingluan pulled out the wolf-tooth stick again. It was not only stained with sticky blood, but also with some flesh. Madam Cui howled in pain, with no blood on her mouth.

Seeing Feng Qingluan being so ferocious, the servants present didn't dare to breathe.

With the wolf-tooth stick stuck on the ground, Feng Qingluan looked at the other old women who had beaten Qingxue.

These people only looked at her for a moment, then they were so scared that they quickly ran out and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy:

"Princess, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us. We will never do it again."

Feng Qingluan walked to the table, picked up a rolling pin and handed it to Qingxue:

"You must fight back the way they beat you. Remember, you are my first-class maid. If anyone in this mansion bullies you in the future, you must fight back double. If they injure or maim you, I will cover for you."

Qingxue took it with trembling hands, still looking at Feng Qingluan with some fear. Feng Qingluan said:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. You need to let them know that you are not someone to be trifled with. That way you won't be bullied. Go!"

Qingxue felt that what her mistress said made sense, so she clenched the rolling pin and hit the begging old women on the back.
