In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Hearing this, Xie immediately turned her head and looked at Princess Mingzhu: "I didn't expect it! Princess Mingzhu is so cruel and ruthless, hurting these little maids!"

"You should know that when your mother was alive, she would never do this. She always treated her servants well."

Upon hearing this, Lord Bai's face immediately turned dark.

Lord Bai turned his head and looked at Princess Mingzhu with a frown, then lowered his head to help Fang Ye up, looked at the slap mark on her face, and then looked at her arm.

After rolling up her sleeves, there were all kinds of marks on them... shocking.

There were not only knife wounds, but also whip wounds, rotten flesh from being cut by scissors, and even a few burns. The hands were inflamed and swollen, which looked particularly scary.

Seeing this, Lord Bai felt chilled to the bone.

Lord Bai frowned and slapped Princess Mingzhu aside. He angrily said, "You rebellious girl!!!"

"Why are you treating your servants so harshly?!"

Having said that, he immediately ignored Princess Mingzhu's pleas and called over several other maids under Princess Mingzhu. He found that the situations of those maids were similar to Fang Ye's.

For example, the maids who came out of Princess Ruyu's courtyard were all seriously injured.

The maids who were not from Princess Ruyu's courtyard... were less seriously injured, but every maid had injuries to varying degrees.

The more Lord Bai looked at them, the more heartbroken he became. His voice choked with disappointment as he said, "Why did you hurt these people so much? They are just like you... They are also human beings!! They were born by a father and a mother! They were raised by a father and a mother!"

"How heartbroken will you make their parents feel?!"

"You've suffered so much outside these years, and your father is still heartbroken! They're suffering here with you, don't their parents...feel heartbroken too?!!"

"Besides, you don't have a mother anymore, so Daddy loves you even more and is considerate of you not having a mother. He is making infinite compensation for you. No matter how unreasonable your demands are, Daddy will satisfy them! But have you ever thought about how their parents feel when they see the injuries on their hands?!"

Lord Bai angrily said to Princess Mingzhu: "You rebellious girl! Who taught you to behave so badly?!"

"A woman like you is really not suitable for our Bai family!"

He was so furious now that he could even say such words.

Princess Mingzhu kowtowed to Lord Bai and said in panic, "Father...Father, don't be angry!"

"Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done this. Please don't be angry with me!"

"After all, I don't have a mother anymore. If you don't like me anymore, father... then I will have no relatives in this world."

"Father......"

Her face was already covered with tears.

Although Lord Bai felt distressed, he felt chilled when he thought of the injuries inflicted by these maids.

Lord Bai sighed and said with disappointment on his face.

"Forget it, let's dismiss all these maids. From now on, Princess Mingzhu won't have to keep so many maids and servants around her."

"It will be enough to keep four first-class maids."

"If anyone else is unwilling to serve in Princess Mingzhu's courtyard, they should leave."

"Also, pass on my order to assign the four maids in my courtyard to Princess Mingzhu."

If the four big maids in Lord Bai's courtyard were assigned to Princess Mingzhu, things would be bad.

Because the four maids in Lord Bai's courtyard are all very smart, have been in charge for many years, and are richer and more respectable than the wives of officials outside.

If they followed Princess Mingzhu, then Princess Mingzhu would definitely not treat those four maids the same way she treated those other maids.

That represents the face of Lord Bai.

If she did that, how could Lord Bai be nice to Princess Mingzhu?

This was also one of Lord Bai's plans. The reason why he placed these four maids next to Princess Mingzhu was because he wanted to keep an eye on her and warn her.

Princess Mingzhu knew that this time...she might have really pissed off her father.

She said with a dead heart: "Thank you, father, for your forgiveness..."

Lord Bai waved his hand and said with a cold look, "I will naturally ask for permission for you and General Zhou Langya!"

"But during the period of the marriage, you must not leave the house. I am really worried that you will cause some jokes and bring shame to our family!"

"Also, I won't give you your mother's dowry for now. When you've reflected on your mistakes and are ready to marry into General Zhou's mansion, and you can manage the mansion in an orderly manner and become a stable person, I'll give you the money."

Having said that, he snorted coldly, then flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing him swinging his sleeves and leaving, Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu looked at each other and both sneered.

Xie and Princess Ruyu were extremely satisfied. They walked up to Princess Mingzhu and said with a smile, "Oh my, how did our Princess Mingzhu become so miserable? She was confined all of a sudden."

"Haha, even if you marry General Zhou Langya, so what! This dowry is not even as much as Ruyu, a concubine's daughter."

Princess Ruyu smiled sweetly and said, "...Yes, my mother has saved up a lot of dowry for me over the years. It must be more than 200 million taels of silver. But what about you?"

"If it's according to what my father prepared for you, it would be two million taels of silver...your dowry is even less than mine."
