The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 155 Establishing Prestige
Liu Jingcheng had lunch in Liushuang Courtyard before returning to the palace. Hua Xiyu followed him. In front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two of them got on the palace's carriage. Everyone saw it and had nothing to say.
Liang held Hua Jiayi's hand and said soothingly, "Jiayi, everyone has their own destiny, and your future will only be better than hers."
Hua Jiayi doesn’t think so. Only she knows whether it is good or not.
Liang was afraid that Hua Jiayi would do something unnecessary, so she said patiently, "The wedding is still more than a month away. You will have peace and quiet after you get married. Just stay away from her in the future."
But no one else in the mansion thought so. They didn't take Hua Xiyu's words seriously. The maids in the mansion had changed several times in the past ten years. Only the Hua family and the old maids who had stayed in the mansion knew that the eldest daughter was a fool. No one knew how stupid she was before, but this time, it seemed that she was really stupid.
That evening, Aunt Zhou was unlucky enough to fall into Hua Xiyu's hands.
She was originally very happy to come back from Prince Xuan's Mansion. Since unmarried men and women should not be alone together, she tried her best to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion before dinner. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. There is nothing she can do about it. In the eyes of the ancients, the modern customs are evil, heresy, and heresy. She just needs to change herself, which is not a difficult task.
Obeying the rules does not mean swallowing your anger and allowing yourself to be bullied.
What happened in the morning made her feel guilty towards everyone in Liushuangyuan, so she took out some silver and gave everyone bonuses as an apology and compensation.
He called Qingxing and said, "Give everyone in the courtyard some bonus as compensation for being beaten. You can divide the money among yourselves. Don't bring any trouble to me if you get more or less."
Qingxing happily went to find Nanny Bai and Nanny Zhang. They were old and could calm everyone down. Then, they presided over the division of the 100 taels of silver according to levels. The largest amount was ten taels, and the smallest was two taels. No one had an objection, and the Liushuang Courtyard became full of laughter and joy from the sad mood in the morning.
Death was a very common thing in that era. Only those who really cared about Hongmei would be sad for a few days. For others, it would only be a short while.
Hua Xiyu was also happy when she saw everyone was happy. She hated the dull atmosphere the most.
"We won't be eating from the big kitchen tonight. We'll make spicy chicken in the small kitchen."
Everything was ready, but they found that there was only one chicken. There were more than a dozen people in the yard. Who would eat one chicken? So they ordered Lancao to go to the big kitchen to get four more chickens, and also get some more ginger and garlic.
I got tired of eating chicken in Shuiyue Temple before, but now, it is forbidden to slaughter cows, so there is no beef or mutton to eat. Pork is even worse to eat, and there is no way to eat seafood or river fish. After all the food, chicken is still the most suitable.
Spicy chicken is still edible, especially the kind that is so spicy that it makes you cry and snot, and you sweat all over, but you can't help but eat it. It feels so good.
The chicken had been killed in the kitchen. Lan Cao took some ginger and garlic and walked back, running into Aunt Zhou who was walking in the garden.
Prime Minister Hua is not greedy for beauty, so there are only two concubines in the mansion. Concubine Zhou has been pregnant twice and failed to keep the baby. Now she is pregnant with her third child. She is seven months pregnant. She walks a little heavily and cannot sleep well at night. She is taking a walk in the garden now. She is tired and is ready to go to the pavilion to rest.
Nanny Qian, who was by Aunt Zhou's side, was an old lady in the mansion. Because Aunt Zhou had miscarried twice, Liang specially sent an experienced old nanny to serve her in order to prevent any more accidents. The old nanny relied on her seniority and seniority in the mansion to order the little maids around, treating herself like half-masters. The little maids generally did not dare to contradict her.
When she saw Lancao coming, she asked, "Lancao, what are you going to do with all these chickens?"
When Lan Cao heard the question, she smiled and said, "Hello, Madam Qian, this is what the eldest lady wanted. She said she wanted to make spicy chicken."
"What is spicy chicken? The young lady can eat so much chicken by herself. You little girl lie without any discrimination." Nanny Qian was unhappy.
Hua Xiyu was worried that Lancao couldn't carry so many chickens by herself, so he asked Zi Teng to come and meet her, after all, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. When Zi Teng came, she saw Lancao chatting with Aunt Qian.
"Hello, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Qian." Zi Teng bowed, helped Lan Cao share the two chickens, and urged her: "Hurry up, the eldest lady is waiting anxiously."
When the two maids were fiddling with the chickens, blood splashed on Aunt Zhou's skirt. Aunt Zhou raised her hand and slapped Lan Cao. Several chickens rolled to the ground. Zi Teng hurried to pick them up, but unexpectedly, Aunt Qian kicked the chickens far away. The chickens rolled down the steps of the pavilion, covered with mud and grass clippings, and looked dirty and messy. The two maids burst into tears instantly, and dared not say a word. They picked up the chickens and hurried back to Liushuang Garden.
Hua Xiyu finally waited for the chicken to arrive and told Nanny Bai to wash it quickly. When Nanny Bai saw the chicken in this state, she asked Lancao: "Did you fall down?"
The little girl shook her head and said nothing.
When she asked Zi Teng again, Zi Teng lost her temper and whispered to Nanny Bai, "Madam Zhou slapped me and I fell to the ground."
As soon as Lancao entered the room, Hua Xiyu saw the palm print on her face. Before he had time to ask, he heard that she was beaten by Aunt Zhou, and he became furious. Humph, I was just looking for an opportunity to show my presence, but someone handed me a pillow just when I fell asleep. Why should I be polite?
She pulled Lancao over and asked, "Where were you beaten?" She walked out of the yard without stopping, and Zi Teng followed closely behind.
"No, it's okay, I'm fine." Lan Cao stepped back in fear.
"Ziteng, tell me, where were you beaten?" Hua Xiyu raised his voice, scaring Ziteng so much that she trembled: "In the pavilion in the garden" She blurted out without even thinking.
I didn't dare to lie. Everyone was scared of the young lady's condition. I yelled at the master and the mistress in the morning, let alone a little maid.
Lan Cao was extremely frightened, but she just accepted it. It was just a slap in the face, and it was not like she had never been slapped before. The young lady would not suffer any loss, so if this happened, she would definitely skin Aunt Zhou alive.
"It's the pavilion in the garden, right? How did you end up in the pavilion?"
"Madame Qian called me, so I went to answer her."
As they were talking, they arrived at the pavilion. Aunt Zhou sat there and rested enough. She was about to get up and go back, but when she saw Hua Xiyu dragging Lan Cao over, she was also surprised. What was this silly young lady trying to do? She was now pregnant with Hua Fu's child, what did she want to do?
Hua Xiyu stepped into the pavilion and asked, "Who slapped my girl in the face?"
"She made my dress dirty, so I slapped her. What's the problem?" Aunt Zhou said in a calm tone, with an impatient tone that showed she didn't care.
"You must have heard what I said yesterday. Everyone in Washington was just watching the fun and laughing at me."
"She's just a servant, so just beat her, what else can you do?" Aunt Zhou didn't think there was anything wrong with it and didn't take it seriously.
This silly young lady who just returned home will soon marry a silly prince. She can't stay in the mansion for a few days. She is so arrogant and I don't know where she gets the confidence from.
"Pa" She didn't have time to react at all, Hua Xiyu's palm fell on her face. The slap was so crisp and loud that it attracted people nearby to come and watch.
Aunt Zhou opened her mouth in shock, but before she could even scream, she was slapped on the other side of her face.
"Did you kick the chicken I wanted?" She ignored Aunt Zhou who was covering her face and unable to react, and looked at Aunt Qian.
Madam Qian was so frightened that she was dumbfounded. She had always taken advantage of her seniority in front of the servants in the mansion, but she had never been questioned like this before. Even the Madam had never hit Aunt Zhou, not to mention that she was pregnant. She glanced at Aunt Zhou, who was stunned and covered her face and dared not say a word. She was so scared that she stepped back, begging for mercy.
"My slave, I didn't mean it. Please spare my life, miss. Please spare my life."
Many people soon gathered around the pavilion. Liang also hurried over after receiving the letter. Seeing Hua Xiyu glaring at Nanny Qian, she hurried forward to try to persuade him.
Hua Xiyu pushed her away with a hand. Mrs. Hua staggered and was supported by the nanny behind her so as not to fall.
Hua Xiyu raised his foot and took a split-leg yoga pose. Using all his strength, he kicked towards Nanny Qian's calf. With a "crack", everyone heard the sound of Nanny Qian's bones breaking.
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't recover. Then they heard Aunt Qian scream "Wow" and wailed like a pig being slaughtered, holding her calf.
Hua Xiyu took Lan Cao and everyone from Liushuang Garden away gracefully.
The pavilion was in chaos. Madam Hua asked someone to quickly call a doctor to treat Madam Qian's leg injury, and also asked someone to help Madam Zhou back to her room. For a moment, the mansion was in chaos again.
"What a sin I have committed!" Liang sighed sadly, "Every day..."
"Mom, was she like this before?" Hua Jiayi supported her mother and asked in a low voice. She was a little afraid of this silly girl now, so she should just listen to her mother and not provoke her.
"When I was young, I was cruel, but I wouldn't have used such heavy hands. Madam Qian's leg was broken. Now that she's old, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to recover."
"She was said to be weak before, but now I see that she is not only not weak, but also healthier and stronger than many people."
"Yes, I think so too. Don't provoke her. Be patient for a few days and everything will be fine when she gets married." Mrs. Hua advised her daughter. Everyone should be patient and a month will pass quickly.
