A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian sat with the Second Madam for a while and then returned to Jinglan Garden.

Guessing that the soup she had asked the kitchen to cook for her in the morning was ready, she happily took Cuiyun and Cuiling to get it.

When he arrived at the big kitchen and came out with the soup, he happened to meet Qiuyue who came with a little maid to get lunch for Liu.

After seeing Xia Tian bow perfunctorily, Qiuyue wanted to go over.

Xia Tian gave Cuiyun a look, and when Qiuyue and Cuiyun passed by each other, the food box in Cuiyun's hand fell to the ground.

Cuiyun exclaimed, "Sister Qiuyue, how could you destroy the nourishing soup for our Crown Prince's wife?"

Cui Ling chimed in, "Sister Qiuyue, even if you want to make things difficult for us, you don't have to be so cruel, right?"

Qiuyue was stunned on the spot. When she reacted, she was furious. "I didn't touch the food box at all. You two damn girls, stop slandering me."

"Sister Qiuyue, you hit me, so why don't you admit it?" Cuiyun complained aggrievedly.

"What are you talking about? Who doesn't admit it?" Qiuyue was so angry that she wanted to slap the two girls.

"Madam, look, Sister Qiuyue admitted that she was the one who deliberately knocked over your soup just now." Cuiling hurriedly explained to Xia Tian.

"When did I admit it?" Qiuyue was so angry that she raised her hand to hit someone.

Xia Tian snorted with a cold face, "Miss Qiuyue is so arrogant. She deliberately spilled my soup. Not only did she deny it, but she also wanted to hit me?"

"Madam, please don't slander me with such sweet words. I say there is nothing and it is not there." Qiuyue raised her neck with a look of contempt on her face.

"Oh? Really? I slandered you? Who do you think you are that is worthy of being slandered by a wife like me, the wife of the great prince?"

Xia Tian looked Qiu Yue up and down with contempt.

Qiuyue was so angry that she gasped for breath. "Madam, please don't use your status to oppress me. It's not your turn to control who I am."

"Oh? Really?" Xia Tian took a step forward, raised his hand, and slapped Qiuyue in the face. This time he used more force, and Qiuyue fell to the ground.

That's right, she came here on purpose to cause trouble today.

Early in the morning, she asked someone to keep an eye on Huaruitang to see who came to the kitchen to pick up food today.

When she heard it was Qiuyue, she brought Cuiyun and Cuiling here to wait for her.

Since Qiuyue used this method to punish Cuiling, she should return the favor in the same way.

She didn't dare to hit Liu, so how could she not hit a servant?

Cuiyun is quite brave, and Cuiling just wants to help her vent her anger, so she brought these two girls here today.

Qiuyue was slapped to the ground and asked in disbelief, "How dare you hit me?"

She probably had forgotten about Xia Tian slapping her last time, and she still couldn't understand why she was beaten this time.

"I'm going to hit you. You have no manners at all. How can a servant like you be so confident? How dare you talk to your master like that?" Xia Tian squatted down, pinched Qiuyue's chin with his hands, and slapped her twice on both sides.

He didn't let Qiuyue go until her face became swollen.

Qiuyue sat on the ground, looking at her in horror, "Madam, you are wrongly accusing me like this, aren't you afraid that I will tell you?"

"Tell Madam?" Xia Tian chuckled. "You're just a servant. Do you think Madam cares about you? Besides, I'm helping Madam discipline the servants. Madam should be grateful to me."

Qiuyue covered her face, angered by Xia Tian's constant calls of "slave" and "servant." She suddenly blurted out, "She's just a peasant girl who got lucky enough to save the prince. Do you really think you've turned from a pheasant into a phoenix?"

She actually used her status to talk about rules with her. She was the personal maid of the Marquis' wife, and no one dared to let her suffer this injustice.

Originally, Xia Tian was thinking of giving her a beating and then letting her go, but since she said that now, he would let her see how she turned from a wild chicken into a phoenix.

"Someone, come here and slap him in the face." After Xia Tian said that, Cuiyun immediately rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, and started slapping him in the face.

He slapped her more than ten times before stopping.

Qiuyue was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and couldn't speak.

The little girl who came with Qiuyue wanted to sneak out to inform Liu, but was stopped by Cuiling.

Everyone in the kitchen had hidden in the kitchen as early as when Xia Tian started beating people, and no one dared to come out.

Everyone looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. They didn't expect that the prince's wife was so powerful that she even dared to hit Miss Qiuyue who was beside her.

Normally, when they saw Miss Qiuyue, they would lower their heads and look submissive, for fear of making her unhappy, and they were often scolded by Qiuyue.

Some people felt happy after seeing what the Crown Prince's wife did.

However, some people think that Xia Tian has probably offended the lady completely. By hitting Qiuyue, isn’t that a slap in the face of the lady?

In fact, they all understood that the Crown Prince's wife was venting her anger for her maid. Otherwise, who would go and provoke the popular people around the lady for no reason?

Qiuyue was speechless, tears streaming down her face, and she stared at Xia Tian with an unconvinced look.

When had she ever been insulted like this and slapped in the face in public?

Xia Tian had someone bring a stool over for her and sat in front. "Since Miss Qiuyue hasn't realized her mistake yet, then kneel here and reflect on it. Until you realize your mistake, then stand up."

The main reason was that she was afraid that once she left, no one would be able to look after Qiuyue.

Liu waited in Huarui Hall for a long time, but Qiuyue still hadn't returned. She felt a little unhappy, "Qiumei, go see what's wrong with Qiuyue? Why are you taking so long just to get some food?"

"Yes, ma'am." Qiu Mei agreed and went out.

Qiumei was also the head maidservant beside Liu. Last time, she was beaten by Liu because of the theft in Liu's private vault.

Recently, I have been very cautious when doing things around Liu, for fear of making her unhappy again.

She, Qiuhan and Qiumo are not as favored as Qiuyue.

Liu now tells Qiuyue all the important things. Since Aunt Qi left, she is not as close to them as before.

Qiumei arrived at the kitchen and saw Qiuyue kneeling on the ground as soon as she entered the yard. She was surprised. Who was so bold as to make Qiuyue kneel down as punishment?

After walking a few steps further, I saw Xia Tian sitting in the shade, drinking tea and looking at this side.

Qiu Mei hurried forward and saluted Xia Tian, "This servant greets the Crown Prince's wife."

"Yeah." Xia Tian said in a light tone.

Seeing that the Crown Prince's wife had no intention of explaining, Qiu Mei quickly explained the reason for her visit. "The Crown Prince's wife, Madam asked Qiu Yue to come get lunch. She didn't come back for a long time, so Madam sent this servant to check on her."

The meaning was obvious. They were sent by the lady to get lunch. If they didn't go back for such a long time, the lady might blame them.

Xia Tian raised his chin slightly and said, "Go get the lady's lunch. As for Qiuyue, I don't think she can go back for a while."

Qiumei didn't dare to say anything else. She had even brought up the Madam, but the Crown Prince's wife still didn't ask Qiuyue to go back. So she had better not offend her, lest she get into trouble.

She knew the temper of the prince's wife very well. Although she usually appeared gentle and had no temper, if she was provoked, she would not even give face to the lady.

"Yes, I'll leave first." Qiu Mei didn't say anything. She went to the kitchen to get Liu's lunch and took it back first.
