Fu Guang and Wang Shu looked at the rare harmonious scene in the house and couldn't help but smile with relief.

But the sound outside the house broke the warmth. Not long after Wangshu went out, a woman in green followed him.

"Aunt Banxia..." Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing saw the person coming and quickly stood up.

Zhu Qingan, however, noticed the person coming and lazily tossed the hair by her ear, saying indifferently, "Why is Aunt Banxia here?"

Zhu Qing'an's attitude made Aunt Banxia frown, with suspicion in her eyes.

Aunt Banxia is someone close to Zhu Qingan's mother. She was also her mother's maid when she came with her as a dowry. She is equivalent to half a master in the Hou Mansion.

On weekdays, Zhu Qing'an respects his mother, and also respects Aunt Banxia who lives by his mother's side. He always treats Aunt Banxia as an elder.

But today, seeing Zhu Baiwei and Zhu Yiqing's attitude towards Aunt Banxia, ​​Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but sneer.

"Madam got up early and didn't see the princess go to pay her respects, so she specially asked me to come and invite the princess!" Aunt Banxia smiled with a gloomy expression.

If this had happened on any other day, Zhu Qing'an would have been extremely happy to know that his mother had actually sent someone to invite him, thinking that his mother did care about him after all.

But now, listening to Aunt Banxia's words, Zhu Qing'an's heart was not moved at all.

"Aunt Banxia, ​​my eldest sister had a high fever yesterday. Let her rest for a while!" Zhu Baiwei stood aside and argued in a low voice.

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Banxia's face suddenly turned cold, and she sneered at Zhu Baiwei, "Second Miss, please be careful. The matter between the Madam and the Princess is not one you can interfere with!"

After these words were spoken, even Fu Guang Wangshu's expression changed.

Zhu Yiqing's face turned red with anger. He wanted to refute but Zhu Baiwei grabbed his arm. Zhu Baiwei shook her head at her brother, not wanting to cause any more trouble.

Even though he was unwilling, Zhu Yiqing knew that he couldn't act impulsively. Aunt Banxia was someone close to the mistress, and she was often sarcastic to them. Even if he brought the matter to his father, no one would stand up for them.

Zhu Qing'an lifted a strand of her long hair and twirled it around her fingertips. She knew that Aunt Banxia was very prestigious in the entire Hou Mansion because of her mother, but she had been raised in the palace since she was a child. Although she had returned to the Hou Mansion, she had not usually seen these trivial matters. Today's observation was an eye-opener for her. She whispered, "Slap your face!"

After these words were spoken, Aunt Banxia straightened her chest slightly. Zhu Baiwei's face turned pale and she looked at Zhu Qing'an with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Yiqing even stood directly in front of Zhu Baiwei, his eyes full of indignation and questioning.

Only Fu Guang's eyes were filled with worry, and he slapped Aunt Banxia on the left cheek without hesitation.

The crisp sound of slapping seemed to cause the air to freeze for a moment.

"You dare to hit me?" Aunt Banxia covered her face and looked at Fu Guang in disbelief. She then shouted at Zhu Qing'an, "Princess, your maid hit the wrong person. What are you going to do?"

"Paws!"

Zhu Qing'an answered Aunt Banxia with two words with a smile on his face. As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Guang slapped Aunt Banxia on the right cheek again.

The pain on her right cheek made Aunt Banxia cry out softly. Since she followed the Madam into the Marquis's Mansion, she had never been treated so humiliatingly, and even the Madam had never scolded her.

But today, he was slapped a few times.

At this time, Aunt Banxia realized that it was not a mistake, but she was the one who was hit from the beginning.
