The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much
Chapter 72: Slap Back
When Nanny Li returned to Li's courtyard, her legs still could not walk normally.
Both knees were already red and swollen. Not to mention walking, even moving was excruciatingly painful.
Li was sorting out the account books, trying to find the source of the one million taels.
The little maid knocked on the door and went in nervously after hearing the sounds of people coming in and out.
The little maid walked up to Madam Li and knelt down, "Master, Madam Li is back."
Mrs. Li didn't even glance at the maid, and kept flipping through the account book in her hand. "Let her in when she comes. I need to get a reply from the other side."
The little maidservant was embarrassed and wanted to explain, but when she saw her master's unsmiling face, the courage she had just mustered was frightened away.
After looking at the account book for a long time, Mrs. Li finally realized something was wrong. The little maid knelt there in confusion, looking at her without saying a word.
"Go, where is she? You can't ask me, the master, to go and see her, right?" Li was a little angry. The Duke's Mansion gave her a hard time and went against her. Even a servant around her dared to go against her.
Seeing her master about to get angry, the little maid quickly explained, "Master, no, it's not like that. Something happened to the nanny. She has been carried into the courtyard, and the palace doctor has been called."
"Master, Madam Li's knees are red and swollen. She said she couldn't come back to report, and asked you not to be angry, but she has completed all the tasks you assigned to her."
When Li heard this, she thought it was wrong. Didn't she go to the Duke's Mansion to see the Duke's wife? Why was she injured?
Thinking of this, Li closed the account book in her hand, stood up and was about to go out, but she stopped when she reached the door.
The injuries on the nanny's body should have been caused by the Duke's wife, probably because of the deceased child.
Ugh!
Does she want this again?
All this was the fault of those two little bitches, Chu Ci and Aunt Zhong. If it weren't for them, her little prince would not have survived.
Li slammed her palm on the door next to her, causing it to creak. "This little bitch is just like her mother, she's really despicable."
"Let's go see Madam Li first."
When they arrived at Nanny Li's room, as soon as Li entered, what caught her eye was Nanny Li's red and swollen knees. The court doctor was applying medicine to her.
Li pointed at Madam Li's legs and asked, "What's wrong with your legs?"
As soon as Li's words left her mouth, Nanny Li's body was filled with hatred. "Master, when I arrived at the Duke's Mansion, I couldn't even get through the main gate. The gatekeeper refused to report to me. I had no choice but to give the gold bracelet to the gatekeeper, and he went in to report."
"When I entered the courtyard and saw the Duke's wife, she made me kneel on the bluestone for who knows how long. Look at my legs. I have been with you for so long, but have I ever suffered such torture?"
"The Duke's Mansion is superior, but they don't take our Marquis' Mansion seriously."
The more Nanny Li spoke, the angrier she became, her eyes filled with hatred.
Li felt like she was about to explode with anger. The Duke's wife had really gone too far this time, but she could understand. "After all, all of this is not the fault of that little bitch Chu Ci. In that case, let's just send her directly to see her mother."
"The maids I asked you to prepare are ready. Just send them to her. If it's inconvenient for you, just ask Zhilan to send them over."
Nanny Li's eyes lit up, and the pain in her body instantly eased a lot. Even her voice became clearer. "Okay, Master."
In the evening, Nanny Li supported the little maid and went to Chu Ci's yard.
Lele saw Nanny Li and her men barging in, and trotted forward to stop them. "Wait a minute, Nanny Li, what brings you here? Wait here, I need to report to the master."
When Li Ma saw that it was a young maid, she brought out all the grievances she had suffered recently and slapped Lelele in the face. "Who are you? How dare you come to stop me? I came here to give face to your master."
Chu Ci was drinking tea and reading a medical book in the room when he heard a commotion outside. "Chunhua, what happened outside?"
Chunhua rushed in hurriedly, pointing outside and speaking incoherently, "Master, Madam Li is leading people into our yard. Lele stepped forward to stop them, but Madam Li slapped her in the face and she fell to the ground."
Chu Ci stood up suddenly and walked out, "Let's go take a look."
When Chu Ci walked out of the house, he saw Lele lying on the ground, while Li Ma was barking at something.
Chu Ci strode over, first helped Lele up, checked him up and down, and found that he was not injured, just his cheek was swollen.
Chu Ci pulled Lele behind him and handed her to Chunhua.
Qiuyue also rushed over. When she saw that her sister was not injured, she did not take it over. Instead, she chose to stand beside Chuci. Chuci felt warm in her heart. It turned out to be her Qiuyue.
Chu Ci looked at Li Ma Ma, and without saying a word, slapped her. The maid who was supporting Li Ma Ma and Li Ma Ma both fell to the ground.
"Hidden maid, you see your master, but you don't greet him or show respect, and you even dare to ask someone to help you. Do you have any manners?"
Chu Ci's words made Li Ma want to refute, but she couldn't say a word. After all, it was her fault.
Li Ma Ma forced herself to get up and kneel, gritting her teeth in hatred as she knelt before Chu Ci to pay her respects. "This old servant pays her respects to the young lady."
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Chu Ci slapped her again, "You lowly slave, you still dare to call yourself an old slave? What? You want to negotiate with your master about the time you spend serving me? Are you trying to take credit for it?"
Nanny Li quickly knelt down and said, "I dare not. I have served Madam for such a long time that I am used to calling myself an old slave in front of Madam. Since the young lady doesn't like it, I will change."
Chu Ci snorted coldly. Is this saying that her rules are greater than her mother's? It doesn't matter. She doesn't mind.
Chu Ci glanced at the maids standing at the door. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to look Chu Ci in the eye.
Chu Ci walked back to the yard and sat down on a rattan chair. "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Nanny Li clenched her fists and placed them in front of her legs. She forced a smile, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. "My lady, I came here today on the orders of Madam. She said there are too few maids in your courtyard, so she wants to send you a few young maids."
Chu Ci glanced at them, nodded, and waved his hand, "Stay."
Chunhua was about to step forward to stop them, but was pulled back by Qiuyue. Qiuyue shook her head at her, signaling her not to speak, as the master had her own ideas.
"My yard isn't very big, but it's not small either. No one takes care of every corner of it, so you guys are responsible for cleaning it."
Nanny Li looked up at Chu Ci, "Miss, Madam—"
Chu Ci and Nanny Li exchanged glances. "Why? I don't have the final say over the maid my mother gave me. Do you still want me, the eldest lady, to be your master?"
"The slaves dare not."
