The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much
Chapter 102: A show of force
That morning, just as the sky was getting light, an ordinary carriage stopped in front of the marquis's mansion.
A lady and a little girl got out of the carriage. The driver looked at the lady and the little girl with disdain and said, "Auntie, please wait here. I'm leaving now. I need to go home and sleep."
After the coachman finished speaking, he drove away in the carriage without waiting for the two people to respond.
The little girl looked at the back of the carriage, her heart almost exploding with anger. "Mother, look at him, he doesn't take us mother and mother seriously at all. No matter how bad we are, we are still the concubine and daughter of this marquis's mansion, right?"
"Is it possible that the status of this coachman is not as high as his?"
The woman looked at the tightly closed door in front of her and sneered, "What do you think? They say that the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, while the poor are ignored in the city. Now we can't even enter the gate of the Marquis' Mansion."
"If they don't speak, we can only stand at the door."
The little girl stamped her feet in anger, then sat down on the stone bench by the door, looking at the vermilion gate in frustration. "Mother, when I see father, I will definitely complain and tell him everything about the coachman and the gatekeeper's behavior."
Aunt Li shook her head and pointed at the vermilion gate. "What did the gatekeeper and the coachman do wrong?"
The little girl didn't understand what her mother meant. She thought about her mother's words over and over again, "They don't respect us at all."
Aunt Li shook her head in disappointment. After what happened last time, she didn't expect that her daughter was so stupid and suffered a loss.
"The driver brought us here so early. As for the gatekeeper, the gate of the mansion would not be open at this time, so they are both right."
"The mistake was that we came back too early."
The young lady thought about it carefully and said, "But it was the driver who rushed us. He was the one who took the initiative to rush us and pick us up so early."
Aunt Li was completely disappointed. She couldn't see such a simple thing. It was not unfair for them to be schemed against by Madam last time. "He doesn't dare. If I'm not mistaken, Madam is probably trying to intimidate us."
The little girl didn't dare to speak. She was afraid of Li. "Mother, what should we do now?"
"Call me Auntie. From now on, we have to learn to bide our time and grow slowly. She's not feeling well right now, otherwise we wouldn't be here."
"Remember, listen carefully to Madam. Now that the Second Young Lady is gone, Madam still needs a chess piece."
The little girl nodded, "Okay, I understand, mother."
The two waited for a long time before the vermilion door slowly opened.
The servant who opened the door stood aside. Just as Aunt Li and Chu Yue were about to go in, they were stopped by the servant, "Aunt Li, please wait a moment. I will go and ask for instructions."
Chu Yue took a step forward and was about to speak when Aunt Li pulled her back, "It's okay, go ask."
The servant glanced at the two people and then walked slowly towards the main courtyard.
Aunt Li and Chu Yue both knew that this was Li's way of showing them power.
Soon, the servant came back and turned slightly to Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, the Madam said that she wants you to come in."
Aunt Li and Chu Yue carried their bags and walked in slowly.
Chu Yue was about to turn around and go to her own courtyard to take a look when Aunt Li beside her pulled her back and said, "Let's go to the Madam's courtyard to pay our respects first."
Chu Yue was unwilling, and Aunt Li glared at her. Chu Yue could only reluctantly follow Aunt Li and leave.
When the two of them arrived at the main courtyard, Zhilan came to greet them. "Madam Li is here? This servant greets you, Madam Li. May I ask what may be the matter?"
Aunt Li smiled and said in a humble manner, "Miss Zhilan, my mother and I just came back and wanted to pay our respects to Madam first."
Zhilan glanced at the packages on them and nodded secretly, thinking that they were sensible this time.
"Then please wait a moment, Madam Li. I will go in and inform you right away."
Chu Yue stood behind Aunt Li and muttered softly, "I'm almost dying of exhaustion. Fortunately, we can go in soon."
Aunt Li shook her head, she was thinking too much.
Sure enough, things were just as Aunt Li had thought. The little maids shuttled back and forth in front of them. Chu Yue couldn't count how many maids passed by her.
But even with so many maids, no one came to inform them that they could go in.
Chu Yue quietly tugged at Aunt Li's clothes, "Aunt, when can we go in?"
Aunt Li looked at the time and said, "It's almost time."
"why?"
"According to the Li family's habit, they should be almost done with their meals."
Sure enough, a little maid came over soon, stood straight and apologized to the two people repeatedly, "Madam Li, it's all my fault. I forgot to report it to the master after such a long time. It's all my fault for bothering you and the Third Miss."
Aunt Li knew that this was a show of force from Madam Li, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay. Since Madam has called us, let's go in quickly to save Madam from waiting."
The little maid led the way in front, followed by Aunt Li with a faint smile on her face, and finally followed by Chu Yue, whose cheeks were puffed up with anger and looked like a frog.
When they arrived in front of Li, two people came forward to greet her, "Greetings to the Madam."
Li held the teacup, took a sip slowly, glanced at them, covered the tea lid, put it back on the table, and then opened her eyes to look at them.
He looked her up and down and said, "Get up. Aunt Li and the Third Miss have lived in the old house for such a long time, and they are still in such good condition. It's really not easy."
Aunt Li bowed slightly and said, "This is all thanks to Madam's order. The servants dare not embarrass us."
In fact, only Li and Chu Yue themselves knew that they had spent all their family wealth, but even so, the skin on their hands was still much rougher than that of a normal rich lady.
Mrs. Li glanced at them and said, "I have contributed a lot to your return this time. You have heard about what happened in the mansion recently. Xiao'er is gone, so Yue'er will come to my place every day and let Nanny discipline her."
Chu Yue was not stupid. She knew that the Madam was going to use her, and she was ecstatic. "Yes, mother. Yue'er will definitely live up to your expectations."
Li nodded, picked up her handkerchief and played with it, "This person, you have to know the distance between close and distant, otherwise -"
With a "swish", the handkerchief in Li's hand was suddenly torn into two pieces.
Just as the two were shocked, Li threw away the useless handkerchief in her hand, stood up and walked towards the handkerchief, not forgetting to step on the pile, "Useless waste should be thrown away."
Walking up to Aunt Li, she slowed down her pace and said, "You should go and serve the master tonight."
