The daughter of the mansion is slapped in the face every day

"What happened? Can someone tell me?"

Seeing that Jiang Yunxi had no intention of speaking, Jiang Xueyi's gaze fell on Zhao Changyu.

Zhao Changyu bowed to Jiang Xueyi and frowned slightly, "Mother, please ask Nanny Yue to take the princess to wash up."

Hearing what Zhao Changyu said, Jiang Xueyi was surprised and felt as if she had guessed something.

Nanny Yue helped the crying Zhao Ya into the back hall.

Jiang Xueyi pulled Jiang Yunxi up, her face serious, "Tell me about it."

His tone was full of commands.

"The princess was afraid that I would get windy, so she sat with me in the house. But then she felt like playing again, so she went out alone."

"I should have followed her. But I hadn't seen Mu Kang for a long time, and Wanwan had rejected his marriage proposal. I was worried that this would affect the relationship between the Jiang and Mu families, so I was only concerned with comforting him and didn't pay attention to other things."

"When the banquet started, I realized that the princess was not there. When I found her, it was already... too late."

"It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the princess." Jiang Yunxi bowed and knelt down to apologize.

"Get up. What does this have to do with you? Who could have known that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was a den of dragons and tigers? How could a girl in the boudoir lose her innocence by taking two steps in the backyard?" Jiang Xueyi clenched her fists tightly.

She felt that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was becoming increasingly unmanageable.

It no longer looks like what it did when its predecessor and the previous predecessor were in office.

But the former Duke Zhenguo Jiang An had no son, so the position naturally passed to Jiang An’s younger brother.

Without the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and the fact that Emperor Zhao Changta was not Jiang Xueyi's biological son, the Queen Mother Jiang Xueyi would truly become an empty shell.

"Uncle has dealt with Aunt." Jiang Yunxi seemed to see Jiang Xueyi's hesitation and knew that Jiang Xueyi would not be willing to see the Zhenguo Mansion fall into ruin, so he added at the right time, "He also killed the servants in the backyard. I think this news will not spread. Uncle has probably done his best."

"She deserves to die. She can't even manage the affairs of the mansion. How can she be qualified to sit in that position?" Jiang Xueyi has been dissatisfied with Madam Jiang for a long time. "But why did that person appear there at that time? Why did she happen to attack Ya'er when so many ladies and noble ladies of the noble families were there?"

Jiang Xueyi thought about this matter and felt that it was not simple.

Jiang Yunxi lowered her head and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. "It's because of me. That person mistook the princess for me."

Jiang Xueyi grabbed Jiang Yunxi's hand, eyes full of disbelief, "What did you say?"

Jiang Yunxi kept his head down and remained silent, which made Jiang Xueyi feel that there was something more hidden in this matter.

"Yun Xi cannot say anything that slanders others." Zhao Changyu spoke at the right time, "Let me tell you. Second Miss Jiang is jealous that Yun Xi can accompany you in the palace. She thinks that if Yun Xi's reputation is ruined, she can take her place. So she set up this trap."

"At that time, Miss Jiang Er used the name of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo to invite Yun Xi to the backyard. Yun Xi was talking to Mu Kang, and she perfunctorily said that she would go later. Unexpectedly, the princess who left early suffered an unexpected disaster."

Jiang Xueyi sneered, "What a Jiang Wanwan."

Jiang Xueyi thought: Jiang Wanwan's trick of using someone else's knife to kill someone is really stupid. If something happened in the Zhenguo Mansion, even if it wasn't Jiang Wanwan who got into trouble, wouldn't others think that the backyard of the Zhenguo Mansion is filthy? Wouldn't Jiang Wanwan's reputation be implicated and damaged?

He is vicious but stupid, there is no cure for him!

Jiang Xueyi narrowed her eyes and tried to calm herself, but it was obvious that she failed.

Jiang Yunxi gently patted Jiang Xueyi's back to calm her down, "Grandma, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

"Auntie protected Wanwan and has confessed her guilt and committed suicide. But... can this matter really end like this?" Jiang Yunxi paused, "This matter still needs to be reported to His Majesty and the Queen. Yunxi can go."

It was certainly not an easy task to inform the Emperor and the Empress that something had happened to the princess.

But Jiang Yunxi knew that if Jiang Xueyi sent an uninformed palace maid to report to the emperor and the empress, it would only make them even more anxious and angry.

What's more, this matter is related to the Jiang family, so a trusted person must be sent over.

"No, I'll ask someone to call them over. Let's not talk about what happened first."

A young palace maid came over to report, her tone filled with anxiety, "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, the princess is behaving in a self-harming manner. Nanny Yue is here to ask you what to do?"

If a person of ordinary status wanted to commit suicide, he would either be left alone or tied up so that he could not move.

Obviously, neither of these two methods is suitable for Zhao Ya, who has a noble status.

Jiang Yunxi immediately stood up and said, "I'll go see the princess."

Jiang Xueyi nodded.

Zhao Ya sat in the bathtub, rubbing her skin with the soapberry in her hand, causing her skin to become red and swollen all over.

Nanny Yue wanted to snatch it, but was scolded by Zhao Ya's hysterical voice.

Jiang Yunxi bravely held the soapberry, but Zhao Ya refused to let go. She stared at Jiang Yunxi with red eyes.

Jiang Yunxi asked Nanny Yue to leave and said to Zhao Ya, "Princess, I can heal all the scars on your body and make your whole body completely free of traces."

Zhao Ya then obediently let go, tears rolling down her eyes, "Really?"

"Yes. Princess, so you won't hurt yourself anymore?"

Zhao Ya crossed her arms and clenched them tightly. She stared at the water with empty eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Whenever I think of that man on top of me... I feel sick and dirty... I can't stand myself like this."

"This isn't your fault, Princess." Jiang Yunxi tested the water temperature. "The water is a little cold. Let's talk outside, okay?"

Zhao Ya sat on Jiang Yunxi's bed. Jiang Yunxi sat beside Zhao Ya, holding a piece of hibiscus cake and handed it to her mouth, "Princess, please use something."

Zhao Ya didn't say anything.

"Be good." Queen Meng Jingshu ran in at this time, holding up her skirt.

At this moment, she had completely lost the demeanor of a queen and just looked like a mother who was worried about her child.

Jiang Yunxi gave the seat next to the bed to Meng Jingshu.

When Zhao Ya saw Meng Jingshu, she couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She leaned on Meng Jingshu's shoulder and began to cry loudly.

Zhao Ya couldn't count how many times she had cried today.

But she just couldn't help it.

Meng Jingshu also hugged Zhao Ya tightly, murmuring to comfort her, while her eyes were red as she complained to God, "How could such a thing happen to my daughter..."

Looking at the scene of Zhao Ya and Meng Jingshu hugging and crying, Jiang Yunxi felt a little envious.

Jiang Yunxi's mother died when she was just born.

She had never seen her mother, let alone acted coquettishly in her mother's arms.

She envied those who were loved by their mothers.
