After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine
Chapter 40: Lady An is punished
"Oh? Did she tell me why I beat her?"
Shen Yunjin kicked the ball to Ning Ruyan.
Ning Ruyan looked at Lady An with a little annoyance.
"I, I just accidentally touched Concubine Shen's hand..."
"Concubine Shen pushed me to the ground and then had me beaten."
"Princess, you are the master of this house, you have to make the decision for me!"
As she spoke, Lady An burst into tears.
"Concubine Shen, do you realize your mistake?" Ning Ruyan looked at Shen Yunjin seriously.
"Wrong? I don't know what I did wrong?" Shen Yunjin looked at Ning Ruyan with a smile.
Ning Ruyan was very annoyed at Shen Yunjin's nonchalant look.
"You have become arrogant because of your favor. You beat the prince's concubine and still refuse to repent. Concubine Shen, kneel down before me!"
"Madam Zhao, slap your mouth! Concubine Shen, today I will teach you what the rules are."
Ning Ruyan spoke in a timid tone, while Lady An and Lady Shu were laughing secretly. They were waiting to see Shen Yunjin's tragic end.
Who made it so that Shen Yunjin was the only one in this palace who was favored by the prince?
How can a mere concubine surpass the princess?
Nanny Zhao walked over, raised her hand and prepared to slap Shen Yunjin in the face.
"Wait!" Shen Yunjin grabbed Madam Zhao's hand.
"Concubine Shen, are you planning to rebel?" Ning Ruyan slammed the table.
"Princess, I have a question that I want to clarify first. Is this the Prince of Qi's residence or the Crown Prince's residence?"
"What do you mean?" Ning Ruyan panicked.
An Meiren subconsciously felt that things would not develop the way they thought.
"Lady An and Lady Shu keep saying that they are the prince's people. If I bully them, it means I don't take the prince seriously. Tell me, should I beat them for saying such things?"
"I am not talented, but I am the concubine of the Prince of Qi. They keep talking about the Crown Prince, which is disloyal to the prince. Not only that, they are trying to sow discord between the prince and his brothers!"
"If this word gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, will they think that the prince doesn't take the prince seriously?"
"Once you enter the Qi Wang Mansion, you are a member of the Qi Wang Mansion, but you still keep talking about your former master. I thought the princess was busy with affairs and could not pay attention to these small matters, so I just took care of it."
"Now, since the princess feels that I am meddling in other people's affairs, I will never stop you from now on and I am willing to accept the punishment."
After saying that, Shen Yunjin let go of Nanny Zhao's hand.
There was silence in the room for a second. Ning Ruyan smashed a cup on Lady An's head, and Lady Shu next to her knelt down hurriedly.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you say you are the prince's man? Madam Zhao, drag me out and give me twenty lashes with the stick!"
When Lady An heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately fell to the ground.
Shu Meiren kowtowed hurriedly, "Princess, Sister An just said that, she definitely didn't mean it! Please spare her life!"
"If you say one more word, you will be punished too!" Ning Ruyan said harshly.
Shu Meiren quickly covered her mouth, indicating that she would not say another word.
Lady An was dragged out, and soon the sound of sticks hitting flesh was heard from the yard.
"Princess, he has been beaten with ten sticks and has passed out!" Nanny Zhao came in with a normal expression and said.
Miss Shu covered her mouth tightly and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
"Concubine Shen, what do you think we should do now? Should we wait for Lady An to wake up and continue the punishment, or should we remember the rest first?"
Ning Ruyan looked at the armor on her hand and asked casually.
"Of course, we let the princess make the decision. After all, she is the mistress of the palace!" Shen Yunjin threw the difficult question back.
"No matter what, she is still the prince's woman. If you continue to beat her, I'm afraid she will lose her life. You'd better remember it. If you do it again next time, I will punish you as well."
"Lady Shu, you must remember that since you have entered the palace, you are now a member of the Prince Qi's palace. Watch your mouth and be careful not to cause trouble!"
"Concubine Shen, we are all the prince's women, we should love each other and not hit others when something happens. Therefore, I will punish you to copy the Tao Te Ching fifty times."
"Yes, I'll obey your command." Shen Yunjin lowered her head to hide the light in her eyes.
After everyone had left, Nanny Zhao brewed another pot of tea and brought it in.
"Lady An is really useless. She was caught by Concubine Shen."
Ning Ruyan skimmed the tea and snorted.
"That's because those two people have impure intentions and underestimate Concubine Shen." Nanny Zhao also shook her head.
"By the way, Mammy, go and give them a lesson tomorrow. These are just things sent by the Crown Prince. How can they go around saying they are the Crown Prince's men? This is purely a smear campaign against the Crown Prince!"
"Yes, I know what to do."
"Are we just going to let Concubine Shen off so easily?" asked Madam Zhao.
"It's okay, there will always be a chance, and there's still a long way to go." Ning Ruyan took a sip of tea.
Shen Yunjin returned to Mingyuexuan safely, and Jinzhi couldn't help but pat her chest.
It was so horrible. The princess's expression just now looked as if she wanted to take Lady An's life!
If all twenty sticks were used to hit her, Lady An would probably have died there.
If Shen Yunjin had not reacted quickly today, perhaps her master would have been the one to lose his life!
The thought of this made her feel scared.
"Master, I shouldn't have allowed you to visit the garden!"
Shen Yunjin smiled when she heard Jinzhi's guilt-filled words.
Those who want to find fault will not stop finding fault if she doesn't go out, it's just that it will happen sooner or later.
But what happened today also sounded a wake-up call for her. She must be more careful with her words and actions in the future in order to live a long life.
She had lived this life again, not to compete with these people for favor and fight with them all day long.
She started to study the restaurant's affairs again. She wanted to focus her energy on more meaningful things.
"Yuzhi, I need to go out for a while."
After two days of research, Shen Yunjin still wanted to go and see the store so that he could decide on a specific decoration style.
"How about I go and check it out for you?" Yuzhi shook her head vigorously.
They were all frightened by the beating of Miss An a few days ago.
I heard that Lady An was unconscious for two days before she woke up.
My buttocks were all broken and I could only lie on the bed.
It is already a hot summer, which is already very hard to endure, and the wounds are not easy to heal.
The thought that this stick might fall on Shen Yunjin makes people retreat.
"No, I can only draw the specific decoration appearance if I go and see it in person."
Shen Yunjin was very persistent. She was thinking about the possibility of getting out.
"Master, please wait a few more days. The prince will be back soon!" Jinzhi advised earnestly.
Xiao Minshen has been in the palace for ten days. It was originally said to be about ten days, but the exact time was uncertain.
"I promise you, just for the last time. I made a promise to my aunt that I can't give up halfway. I promise that I will go to the shop and come back immediately after seeing it, and I will never go anywhere else."
Shen Yunjin was almost about to swear.
Jinzhi and Yuzhi looked at each other.
They also knew that Shen Yunjin was a stubborn person.
As long as Shen Yunjin has decided on something, he will definitely find a way to make it happen.
Rather than letting her take risks alone, it is better to agree. This way, at least there will be someone to take care of her.
