A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Yi Duoer's mind was rapidly planning for the future. The first thing she thought of was making money. In this ancient feudal society with strict ethics, money was the foundation of survival.

Without money, they would starve to death on the streets, which might be their tragic end. Therefore, making money was the top priority, and then finding a way to leave the palace.

Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. Since she had already made a preliminary plan, she sat down and prepared to eat. When she glanced around, she noticed that Yu Shu was just standing quietly by the side, motionless.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Sit down quickly." Yi Duoer asked in confusion. She didn't understand why Yu Shu was standing like that.

Yu Shu was somewhat at a loss. She looked at Yi Duo'er with a puzzled look. In her opinion, although the young lady was not favored at home, she was still a proper master. The difference between master and servant was engraved in her bones since she was a child.

Although she and Yi Duoer had a good master-servant relationship, the master was still the master, and she had no right to eat at the same table with the master. The young lady had never allowed her to sit down and dine with her before.

"Miss, I dare not!" Yu Shu's tone was full of fear, and her body trembled slightly.

Yi Duoer finally realized that this was ancient times, with clear distinctions between superiors and inferiors. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl.

Besides, Yi Duoer felt very uncomfortable with her watching her eat like this.

So, Yi Duoer cleared her throat and deliberately toughened her tone: "I am the master. If I ask you to sit down and eat, you should sit down! If you refuse again, I will be angry." Her voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

Yu Shu was stunned, obviously startled by the harsh voice. She felt vaguely that the young lady seemed to have changed.

In the past, when the young lady spoke, her voice was as soft as a mosquito and she was always timid.

Even being regarded as a fool. But now the young lady seems to have a different temperament, she is much more confident, her tone of voice has become sharper, her eyes are extremely sharp,

It was hard to look directly at her, and her orders made it feel that they could not be refused. Yu Shu had no choice but to sit down obediently, feeling both uneasy and confused.

Yi Duo'er was actually very soft-hearted and kindhearted. She put some vegetables into Yu Shu's bowl and said softly, "Eat quickly! It's too cold, and the food will get cold quickly!"

There was a hint of concern in his tone.

After they finished eating, time passed quietly. Now, the snow outside had stopped, and the world seemed to be covered by a silver blanket, quiet and cold.

However, as the snow melted, the cold became more and more biting and extremely cold.

While Yu Shu went to the storehouse to ask for charcoal, Yi Duoer walked out of the door. She observed the environment in the yard.

The yard in front of me was in a dilapidated state, with a desolate atmosphere everywhere. The moss on the well next to it had already grown into a thick layer, mottled and messy.

They spread along the wall of the well and swallowed up the whole well. There were buckets and shoulder poles beside the well, and they were also very worn out.

She walked over, squatted down and looked at the bucket, and found that the bucket was very worn out and there was a big hole at the bottom.

She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, her heart filled with resentment towards the ruthless Third Prince.

Although the original owner had disrupted his marriage with the Prime Minister's daughter,

But he abandoned the original owner in such a dilapidated place on the day of her wedding. In this era where men are superior to women, for a woman, what difference is there between this and taking her life? How heartless!

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll leave here after I make some money."

Yi Duoer secretly made up her mind and was considering her next move when Yu Shu timidly walked into the yard with empty hands. Yi Duoer saw her like this and guessed something.

I also noticed that her cheeks were slightly swollen and there were obvious slap marks on her face. The red and swollen marks were particularly glaring on her pale face.

Although she tried her best to hide her crying eyes, it was still easy to see that Yu Shu had just cried.

"Yushu, what happened to you? Who did this?" Yi Duoer's tone was a little anxious, mixed with anger.

Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Yu Shu's eyes flashed with grievance and anger, so he reported everything that had happened in detail:

"Miss, when I went to the warehouse to get charcoal, the manager only gave us low-quality charcoal, which was not enough to keep me warm. I didn't dare to argue with them, and was just about to get the charcoal. Who knew... Woo woo woo..." As Yu Shu spoke, her voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes again.

After calming down for a while, she added:

"When we met Concubine Liu, she first mocked me and then told us not to give us any charcoal. Her attitude was extremely arrogant. Not only charcoal, but also other cold-weather clothing was not allowed to be given to us. Wuwuwu... She said that this was the order of the prince."

Having said that, Yu Shu's eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

After hearing this, Yi Duoer was almost unable to suppress her anger.

He slowly closed his eyes and took two deep breaths, as if trying to suppress the surging power in his body, forcing himself to prevent it from erupting.

She knew that she needed to stay calm and not act impulsively.

Yu Shu continued, "I argued with them, and the maidservant beside Concubine Liu beat me. Miss, I am really useless. Not only can I not help you, but also... wuwuwu..." As she spoke, she lowered her head in self-blame, and her thin shoulders kept shaking.

After hearing this, Yi Duoer angrily kicked the rotten bucket beside her to pieces. Under her great force, the bucket instantly broke into pieces, and pieces of wood flew everywhere.

"Alright, Concubine Liu, I will repay you for the humiliation you humiliated in the bridal chamber yesterday and the insult you inflicted on Yu Shu today."

She bit her lower lip tightly, her lips turning slightly white due to the force, and her fists clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white, obviously holding back the anger that was about to burst out.

Then, the corners of her delicate mouth curved into a beautiful yet chilling arc, a smile that made people shudder.

Yu Shu said worriedly: "Miss, she is now the prince's favorite concubine. It's a small matter for me to be beaten, but if Miss offends the prince, it will be troublesome." Her eyes were full of worry.

Yi Duoer interrupted her and said with a firm look in her eyes: "If she dared to hit you today, she will dare to hit me, the princess, tomorrow. Besides, I can't just watch you being bullied."

Yi Duoer really loves you, poor girl. There was a kind of determination in her words. At this moment, a soft and artificial voice came, and the sound was like sharp nails scratching on glass.

"Hey... Sister Princess, what are you doing?"

Then a woman came in, she was wearing a light green smoke shirt, the clothes looked like smoke and fog. The pleated skirt of scattered flowers, water mist and green grass swayed gently with her steps.

She has a beautiful face and delicate features.

She walked up to Yi Duoer with an arrogant look in her eyes. Concubine Liu did not greet her. She was confident that she was favored by the prince and did not take Yi Duoer seriously at all.

But when she saw Yi Duoer's stunning appearance again, the flame of jealousy in her heart instantly burned, and the jealousy almost devoured her.

But she still pretended to be pretentious and said, "I worked hard serving the prince last night, so the prince can forgive me for serving tea to the princess. I'm sure the princess won't mind!" Her tone was full of boasting and contempt for Yi Duoer.

Yu Shu also hated Concubine Liu very much at this time, but she dared not speak out.

Yi Duoer smiled, the curve of her lips making her look very charming. She glanced at Concubine Liu and said:

"It is said that our Great Qi Dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette and hierarchy. A concubine did not even greet me when she saw me, but instead called me "my wife". Didn't the housekeeper teach you the rules?" Her voice was crisp and pleasant, but it was full of majesty.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu was immediately furious, and her face gradually became distorted.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like that? You are nothing but an abandoned woman that the prince doesn't want."

After she finished speaking, there was a crisp and pleasant "pa" sound, and Yi Duo'er's slap landed heavily on Concubine Liu's face.

Concubine Liu covered her face and looked at Yi Duoer in shock, her eyes full of surprise and anger: "You dare to hit me?" She seemed unable to believe that Yi Duoer would actually hit her.

Yi Duo'er didn't tolerate her at all, and slapped her on the other side of the face again. This slap was even more powerful, and Concubine Liu's face instantly became red and swollen, with the slap mark clearly visible.

Yi Duoer saw her "masterpiece",

Then she shook her hands in satisfaction and said disdainfully: "Since you are committing insubordination, I will hit you. Yushu, whoever hit you just now, you should hit him back!" Her voice was like a loud bell, echoing in the yard.

Although Yu Shu was impressed by Yi Duoer's domineering behavior, she still didn't dare to do anything. She looked timid, as she was afraid that it would bring about greater disaster.

Seeing that she didn't dare, Yi Duo'er kicked the maid who was supporting Concubine Liu without saying a word. The maid groaned and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

Yi Duo'er's anger had subsided a little at this point, and she sneered:

"Concubine Liu, have you remembered the rules I taught you today? Don't embarrass the Ye Palace when you go out." Her eyes were cold and sharp, as if she was looking at an ant.

Concubine Liu stared at Yi Duo'er fiercely. If looks could kill, Yi Duo'er would have been torn to pieces long ago. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear the woman in front of her into pieces.

Yi Duoer looked at her indifferently, without a trace of fear in her eyes. Her eyes seemed to say, "Come on if you have the guts."

Concubine Liu was about to fight back, but a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
