After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 35 A worthy death
"You've looked at me so many times. Is there something wrong with my face?" Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but joked as he looked at Wangshu who was serving beside him.
Wangshu was holding a bottle of warm water and placing it on a pearwood rack, watching the princess wash her hands carefully.
"You know what I want to ask!" Wangshu muttered.
"Wangshu!" Fu Guang scolded hurriedly.
Only Zhu Qing'an has always been tolerant towards them. If it were any other master, they would have been dragged out and beaten for being so rude.
Wangshu also knew that he was wrong and quickly knelt down.
"Get up!" Zhu Qing'an wiped the water stains on her hands. She knew that Wangshu was not spoiled because of his favor. Wangshu was bold and straightforward. Zhu Qing'an had never deliberately suppressed Wangshu's temper. What's more, Wangshu knew his limits outside.
Wangshu stood up, Fuguang opened the window, and the breeze from the courtyard blew into the house.
"Wangshu was also surprised by your decision, Princess. You gave too much face to Master Shen today!" Fu Guang turned around and asked. It was not only Wangshu who thought so, she also felt the same way.
Having served by his side since childhood, Fu Guang knew that although his princess looked gentle, she actually had the ruthlessness of the empress dowager in her bones. If there were spies among the people serving her, the princess would beat them to death with a stick. She was never a delicate little white flower.
Before, the princess could only see the lady clearly, but now she can see the lady clearly, but she turns to be tolerant of Master Shen.
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I know what's going on! What's more, Mr. Shen has no ill intentions!" Zhu Qing'an said, but couldn't help but defend Shen Shixin.
The news of Princess Yongfu committing a crime in the street spread like wildfire overnight, and without exception, everyone condemned Zhu Qing'an's behavior.
The wife of the Minister of Personnel even came to visit on the second day. Since the mistress of the mansion was not at home, Zhu Qing'an naturally went to meet the wife of the Minister in person.
Mrs. Li, the Minister of Rites, was thin, and her face was so thin that it looked unrecognizable. One could vaguely see that she was a pretty and beautiful woman when she was young. When she saw Zhu Qing'an, she gave a perfunctory greeting.
"I wonder what brings Madam Li to the mansion?" Zhu Qing'an had tea served and sat down steadily in the main seat.
Madam Li did not expect that Zhu Qing'an could still be so calm even though she had arrived at the Hou Mansion. If her daughter was not still lying in bed, Madam Li would have thought she had misunderstood.
"Yesterday, the princess had someone hurt my daughter, and now my daughter is still lying in bed. Doesn't the princess have anything to say?" Madam Li looked directly at Zhu Qing'an, trying hard not to scream.
She thought that since she had come in person, Princess Yongfu was the elder after all, and she should have explained and apologized, but she acted as if nothing had happened.
"Mrs. Li, are you here to apologize?" Zhu Qing'an took a sip of tea.
"You!" Madam Li stood up angrily. "My princess, do you really think you can do whatever you want? You hurt my daughter so badly, and you still expect me to apologize?"
The teacup was gently placed on the table. The sound was so small but it seemed to hit Mrs. Li's heart.
Mrs. Li clearly felt that she was right, but when she met the princess's dark eyes,
Zhu Qing'an chuckled softly. Her tone was not loud, but it carried a pressure that made it impossible to question.
"Lawless? Madam Li, why don't you tell me? Miss Li insulted, fabricated, and slandered me in the street, and I just slapped her in the face. How could that be considered excessive? Even if I beat her to death on the spot, she would have deserved death!"
When the words "You deserve to die" were heard, Mrs. Li's eyelids jumped in fright.
Before she came, she felt that no matter how powerful Princess Yongfu was, she was just an unmarried girl, and that if she threatened her, she would definitely make her realize the seriousness of the matter.
But now the princess looked calm, and talking about killing people was as easy as drinking water, which made Madam Li a little afraid.
"Has Miss Li told Madam Li what she said? If Madam Li knew what her daughter said, she should be grateful to me instead of coming to my mansion to cause trouble!" Zhu Qing'an said with a sneer.
Madam Li's face suddenly turned embarrassed. She had indeed asked her daughter what she had said. She didn't think anything of it at the time, but now that the other party kept calling her "Princess", Madam Li realized the difference in status.
"Even if my daughter is wrong, face is a girl's life. How can the princess hit her face? If her face is ruined, how will her life be?" Madam Li said, wiping the corner of her eyes.
These tears were not fake, she was really worried. After all, even the doctor said that there was a high possibility of scarring on Li Wu's face.
Zhu Qing'an also knew that if Fu Guang took action, he must have some ability.
"Madam Li, you're truly a loving mother, considering your daughter's reputation. But what Miss Li said yesterday completely destroyed my reputation. If Miss Li succeeds, what kind of rumors will I face? It's not that the rumors flying around Ancheng today are also caused by your Li family."
Zhu Qing'an understood that the Li family loved their daughter dearly, but his own daughter was still his daughter, and other people's daughters were not human beings.
Li Wu started to slander and smear people. When the Li family found out, not only did they not admit their mistakes, they even dared to spread rumors.
Mrs. Li's expression suddenly changed, and she stared at Zhu Qing'an with fear in her eyes.
The Li family had clearly been very secretive about what they were doing, so how could the princess know everything? Yes, today's rumors were the work of the Li family.
How could they bear to see their daughter being beaten like that? They deliberately spread rumors just to make Zhu Qing'an suffer.
"Princess..." Mrs. Li panicked.
"Now, Madam Li, do you have anything else to say?"
"Princess, I just care too much about my daughter and wanted to quit for a moment. Please forgive me!" Mrs. Li smiled and had to bow her head to beg.
"Madam, you should go and explain this to Palace Master Guan!" Zhu Qing'an said, no longer impatient to continue arguing with Madam Li.
Fu Guang stood aside to see the guests off. Madam Li was puzzled at first, until the nanny beside her hurriedly ran over and said, "Madam, someone is coming from the palace!"
When these words were spoken, Madam Li was horrified. She turned around and saw that Zhu Qing'an had disappeared.
"Why is there someone coming to the palace?" Madam Li asked as she walked back.
"The Empress Dowager's attendant, Guan Gongling, has brought people here personally, saying that the Li family is spreading rumors to slander the princess. Now the girl has been dragged out of bed!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Li almost fell down.
Only now did she realize that they had always forgotten the Empress Dowager behind Princess Yongfu, and how decisive and swift the Empress Dowager was when she was in power a few years ago.
"What should we do? Why don't we ask the master to come back quickly?" Mrs. Li slapped her thigh.
"The master was impeached by Marquis Wen'an and others today for not teaching his daughter well, and is now kneeling outside the Cining Palace!"
"lady!"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she fainted immediately.
