Princess Jin bit her lip and said, "Jiang Nian, I know you are doing this for my own good, but... I can't leave."

"You might think I'm incompetent and have no future, but if I leave, my family will not have a good ending."

Although their Meng family has the title of a marquisate, they are actually not as comfortable as ordinary people.

The Marquis' Mansion had long been in decline. It was only her great-grandfather's grandfather's generation that was once prominent. By the time of her great-grandfather, the Meng family was already in decline. By the time of her grandfather, the Meng family had split up into smaller families, moving around, and was torn apart. The original family property had long been divided up, with not much left.

By the time her father's generation came around, he only had the title of Marquis and could receive some relief money from the court every year.

There is no one in the family who has passed the imperial examination and can become an official. The family is getting worse day by day. It was said before that even eating is a problem.

At first, she only thought about marrying into an ordinary family and living a stable life, but she never thought that the royal family would choose a princess from a poor family like theirs.

If all the things the Chen family asked them to do were revealed, those members of the Chen family who were not sentenced to death would die dozens of times.

She originally wanted to use this to threaten the Chen family and Concubine Ru, but now she found that she was useless.

This is the only way to save the Meng family.

"Sister Princess, do you really think that you can solve the problem by swallowing your anger like this? The weaker you are, the more people will think you are easy to manipulate. You can accept your fate now, but what about in the future?"

This is not a long-term solution. There are so many people in the Meng family, and there will be younger generations in the future. She cannot protect them forever.

"Sister Princess, neither Concubine Ru nor Prince Jin are good people. If you really want to break away from Prince Jin and Concubine Ru's control, I can find someone to help you get your family out of the capital. Then, you won't have to worry about anything. Isn't that good?"

Princess Jin paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head after a long moment: "Can we really leave the capital?"

"Why not? Because of the last incident, almost all of Concubine Ru's relatives in the Chen family have died. No matter how bold they are, they dare not cause trouble again at this time. If they are too presumptuous, Your Majesty will deal with them."

In other words, the Princess of Jin is weak and timid, and easy to control. If she were replaced by someone with a temper, it would be hard to tell whether Princess Ru would still be as arrogant as she is now.

"Sister Princess, I can help you, but you have to make your own decision. You can go back and think about it carefully. When Prince Yan comes back, you can come to me if you want to leave."

She wanted to help with this matter, but if she continued to be so timid, she would be powerless.

The nanny came back with the dress she bought, looking proud and obviously dissatisfied.

She was the most capable nanny beside Empress Rufei. On weekdays, Empress Rufei was reluctant to let her do anything, not even serving tea and water, let alone going out to buy groceries. Now she was being humiliated by a little concubine.

If Concubine Ru knew about this, she would be in big trouble.

Amber reached out to take the clothes, but Jiang Nian held her back and went over to take them himself.

Just when her fingers touched the clothes, she suddenly withdrew her hand and the clothes fell to the ground. The nanny's face became even uglier.

The two of them just stood there in a stalemate, and Amber and Princess Jin also realized that something was wrong. Jiang Nian did it on purpose.

The nanny finally lost her patience and uttered a sharp voice, "Concubine Jiang, you are too delicate. You can't even hold your dress."

Jiang Nian laughed: "I am indeed spoiled. Who let His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan spoil me? But you, a servant, dare to interfere in the master's affairs? The Princess of Jin is easy to bully. I thought everyone is easy to bully?"

The nanny drooped her eyes and said in a harsh voice: "Concubine Jiang, I am the nanny beside Concubine Ru. I went to buy you a dress just now and it was already a compliment to you. If Concubine Ru knew..."

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows: "Are you threatening me?"

The nanny was very proud and held her head high, refusing to lower it: "Concubine Jiang has misunderstood. How dare I threaten you? You are a concubine of Prince Yan's mansion..."

"Snapped!"

Jiang Nian slapped him and his face suddenly turned cold.

"What a lowly slave! Seeing that the Prince of Yan is not around, you come to bully me? You're using Concubine Ru to pressure me. What? Does your Concubine Ru have a problem with the Prince of Yan? Or is your Concubine Ru dissatisfied with His Majesty sending the Prince of Yan to the northern border?"

You can say anything, but it cannot involve Your Majesty. Everyone in the palace relies on Your Majesty's favor.

If you are dissatisfied with Your Majesty, how many heads will be chopped off?

The nanny's expression changed instantly: "Concubine Jiang, please don't say anything careless. Our Concubine Ru is sincere to His Majesty, so there is no need for you to say such things."

"Sincerely? Then why is His Majesty so tolerant and kind to the people in Prince Yan's residence, but Concubine Ru is so impatient? If not dissatisfaction, what is it?"

Without waiting for the nanny to speak, Jiang Nian continued, "But I'm not an unreasonable person. If you're really dissatisfied, we can ask His Majesty to judge the matter."

Having said that, he was about to go out with Amber.

Seeing Jiang Nian about to leave, Princess Jin spoke up at the right moment: "Please don't blame me, Concubine Jiang. This is all my fault. I didn't discipline the servants well. Calm down. I will definitely give you an explanation."

Jiang Nian feigned anger, glared at the nanny, and said in a bad tone, "Princess, I'm not going to argue with her today for your sake. Otherwise, I will definitely ask His Majesty and the Queen to do justice."

Not to mention the prince, even for an ordinary general, His Majesty would be particularly tolerant and preferential to his family after he goes to war. This nanny is really arrogant.

"Yes, yes, it's all the fault of this woman. Don't worry, I will definitely discipline her."

Jiang Nian saw that it was almost done, so he didn't say anything more and left the teahouse with his men.

As soon as the man left, the nanny's face darkened and she began to criticize Princess Jin: "Princess, I'm by the side of Concubine Ru, and you didn't help me, but helped an outsider?"

Princess Jin was suppressed by Concubine Ru in the palace, and had to deal with Prince Jin in the palace. Now she was being taught a lesson by a servant and a nanny, and she immediately became angry.

So the nanny was slapped again.

No matter how good her temper is, she still has a temper. She has been tortured by Concubine Ru and Prince Jin for so many years. Why should she have to endure the anger of servants?

"Madame Li, recognize your place. Concubine Jiang is right. How dare a servant ride on the head of her master? You've only been serving Concubine Ru for a while, but you really think you're the master?"

Nanny Li was stunned by the slap, and she felt ashamed and angry when she realized what she was doing. She had served Concubine Ru for her entire life, and even Concubine Ru had never treated her like this. How could a daughter-in-law who was not loved by her husband, could not satisfy her mother-in-law, and did not even have any children have the face to be so arrogant?

Nanny Li was so angry that she stopped serving Princess Jin and left first, swinging her sleeves.

After the people left, Princess Jin was not angry, but gave a bitter smile.

She was such a coward as a princess that even a servant dared to turn her back on her. As the principal wife, she was not as happy as those girls in the mansion who had no status or position.
