Jiang Nian followed the maid to the front yard, where Feng was standing trembling in fear, not even daring to raise her head.

The nanny beside the princess had a gloomy face. When she saw Jiang Nian come in, she immediately said, "Miss Jiang, His Highness is so kind to you and your daughter because of your sachet and Madam Jiang's craftsmanship. He allowed you to visit the mansion, but your servants don't seem to think so."

The word "servant" completely drove Feng crazy.

She is clearly the wife of the Jiang family, how can she be a servant! Which servant can dress as respectably as she does? She has been running the Jiang family for so many years, how can she be a servant?

Jiang Nian glanced at Feng and immediately apologized: "Don't be angry, Ma'am. My aunt is used to being at ease in the mansion. It's her first time coming to the princess's mansion, so she's bound to be nervous."

Mammy sneered, "Nervous? I don't see any nervousness at all! You're being very unbridled!"

Feng shuddered and her face turned pale.

"Madam Jiang, since ancient times, concubines have been treated the same as servants. A lowly maid is a lowly maid. Since you knew you were coming to see His Highness, shouldn't you have brought something so unpresentable?"

Feng was so angry that she was shaking, but she didn't dare to talk back.

Jiang Nian was terrified: "Yes, Ma'am, I am telling you this. Ma'am, can you tell me what my aunt has done wrong?"

The nanny glared at Feng and said, "She said some things she shouldn't have said in front of His Highness, and even broke His Highness's favorite cloud-patterned glass cup. It was a gift from the palace, and she actually broke it. I'm afraid that your entire Jiang Mansion can't afford to compensate you!"

Feng wanted to argue, "Mammy, I'm not..."

Before he could finish his words, the nanny shouted sternly, "You still dare to quibble? Slap me in the face!"

With two "slaps", the nanny's hand strength in the mansion was not comparable to that of the maids and old women in ordinary families. It was a skill they had learned in the palace. Feng's face swelled up instantly.

"Someone, throw this slave out of the house!"

As he said that, the man carried Feng out.

Seeing this, Jiang Nian was anxious to follow him out, then bowed again: "Madam, please forgive me. It is my aunt who is ignorant. I apologize to you here."

"Madam Jiang, you'd better go back quickly. If His Highness blames you later, you won't be able to bear it."

"Yes, thank you, Mammy."

He turned around with a smile on his face.

The people in the Princess's Mansion threw Feng out. When Feng got up and tried to explain, the maid coldly said, "You're just a concubine. It's a blessing you've had in several lifetimes to be able to follow Miss Jiang into the Princess's Mansion. How dare you act so restless in the Princess's Mansion? It's unfortunate for the Jiang family to have a lowly servant like you. His Highness didn't punish you because he thought it was bad luck. But from now on, you Jiang family members, don't even think about setting foot in the Princess's Mansion again!"

"What? What did you say?!"

Jiang Dechang came running hurriedly from not far away. The maid on the steps didn't even look at him, and turned around and went into the house and closed the door.

Jiang Dechang received a letter from his daughter, saying that she would speak well of him in front of the princess today, which would help him get promoted in his career.

He was so happy that he immediately came out of the Ministry of Rites and rushed here without stopping. He was immersed in the excitement of being promoted all the way.

As a result, as soon as he got off the horse, he saw the door of the mansion wide open, and a man was thrown out from the door, saying those terrifying words.

Seeing the door closed, Jiang Dechang had no choice but to look at Jiang Nian beside him.

"Nian'er, what on earth is going on?"

Jiang Nian looked at Feng lying on the ground with a sullen face, "Ask her!"

Jiang Dechang heard everything that was just said clearly. From now on, the Jiang family will no longer be allowed to enter the princess's mansion?

No, this is not allowed.

"Tell me, what did you do?"

Feng's eyes were red, and she stepped forward to grab Jiang Dechang's sleeve.

"Master, Master, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, I just..."

Feng couldn't continue. She was the one who said those words, and she was indeed the one who broke the glass cup. She didn't know how to explain it.

"Let me tell you."

"Father, Mother has been feeling unwell these past few days. Your Highness, out of sympathy, has allowed my daughter to come visit. Grandmother has always been fond of my aunt, so she has allowed my aunt to come with my daughter."

"I was going to speak well of my father in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess today, but I went to see my mother and was immediately called in by someone from the Princess's residence. They said my aunt had gotten into trouble."

When Jiang Dechang heard this, his eyes turned red with anger.

Jiang Nian spoke condescendingly, each word resonating in a powerful voice: "I don't know what Auntie said in front of the princess to anger His Highness. She even broke His Highness's favorite glass cup. Nanny said it was a reward from the palace, and even if our entire Jiang family paid for it, it wouldn't be enough to pay for it."

Feng finally got scared and grabbed Jiang Dechang's legs and stammered, "No, Master, it's not like that..."

"Father, you've had a rough career. You finally got a chance today, but it's gone just like that. You should handle this matter on your own. Your daughter can't do anything for you."

......

After a while of commotion, the outside of the princess's mansion finally quieted down.

The nanny came in and said, "Your Highness, everyone has left."

Princess Huaining said lazily, "I understand."

The nanny stepped forward and patted her legs, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Princess Huaining said calmly, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"Your Highness, Miss Jiang is a good child. Was your treatment today... too harsh?"

Princess Huaining chuckled: "She must be very happy right now and wants to thank me."

The nanny didn't understand. Although Feng was punished, Miss Jiang also lost face. Girls value their reputation the most, so why should she be happy?

"You saw Feng Shi today too. A concubine, she was adorned with gold and silver, dressed even more grandly than the Jiang family's main wife. You can already tell what her status is in the mansion."

"I really did dislike Feng today, but I was just doing her a favor."

Jiang Nian and Lin were controlled by Feng in every aspect of the mansion. Princess Huaining had been working in the palace for so many years, so how could she not see what Jiang Nian and Feng were thinking?

I just couldn't bear to see how miserable this mother and daughter were.

"Your Highness, did this on purpose? If so, why not just deal with Feng? That way Miss Jiang's life would be easier."

Princess Huaining shook her head and said, "Your old habit of meddling in other people's affairs has come back again. After all, this is the Jiang family's family affair, and it's not appropriate for me, an outsider, to ask too much.

Furthermore, if I really execute Feng, what will people outside think? What will people in the palace think? Then... I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the mother and daughter."

The nanny lowered her head and remained silent. No one in the Jiang family cared, but once the princess's mansion was involved... there would be no peace.

"Your Highness is very thoughtful."

Princess Huaining smiled bitterly: "I'm just scared..."

On the way back, Jiang Nian felt that Jiang Dechang was a little more pleasing to his eyes for the first time. He thought that the trouble he had caused in the princess's mansion today was over?

Jiang Dechang values his career and reputation the most. Today, Feng has completely offended the Princess's Mansion, which is equivalent to cutting off his chance of rising to the top. Can he let her go?

Wait a minute, this is just the beginning.
