Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 30 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (3)
"There's no one else here. I want to hear the truth!"
Cui Yuande knew Shen Qingyao too well and was afraid that she would say something high-sounding again, which would not achieve the effect he wanted, so he emphasized this point.
Shen Qingyao acted impulsively. Since she was already in the Cold Palace, it couldn't get any worse, so she just said it.
"Back then, you and I were only husband and wife in name. So one time when we went to the manor in the southern suburbs, we happened to meet the emperor who was traveling incognito. I had seen the emperor at a palace banquet before, so I recognized his identity."
But I pretended not to know him and acted as if I were kind-hearted and helped the people. Gradually, the emperor took notice of me.
I did not reveal my identity to the emperor. After sensing his affection for me, I suddenly disappeared. The emperor was restless and, after making inquiries, learned that I had already married him, but he was not discouraged.
And because of your philandering nature, you haven't cared about me, so the emperor has always wanted me to leave you, but I haven't easily agreed. After all, things that are too easily obtained are never truly cherished.
After saying that, Shen Qingyao laughed self-deprecatingly. It seemed she was wrong; she had done so much, yet she was still abandoned.
"As expected of you!"
After hearing what Shen Qingyao said, Cui Yuande knew she wasn't lying; he had known about her ambition from the beginning.
"That kidnapping scene wasn't something you orchestrated on purpose, was it?"
Although Cui Yuande already knew the truth, he still pretended to be shocked as if he had just thought of it.
He deliberately frowned, waiting for Shen Qingyao to admit it.
Shen Qingyao paused slightly, then gently shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"Cui Yuande, you really know how to joke."
Shen Qingyao had just wanted to admit it, but Cui Yuande was willing to help her, and his guilt towards her stemmed from the guilt he felt for that kidnapping. Of course, she couldn't let that guilt go to waste.
"Don't you want to admit it? You were the one who abandoned me first!"
Shen Qingyao took the initiative and questioned him.
Cui Yuande was taken aback by Shen Qingyao's answer. He paused for a moment, but then he figured the previous information was enough to dispel the last shred of affection the emperor still held for Shen Qingyao, so he wasn't in a hurry.
Indeed, when the emperor outside heard Shen Qingyao recount the truth about how they met, his fingers clenched into a fist. He couldn't believe that the woman he had always cherished had harbored such feelings for him from the very beginning.
So the things Shen Qingyao did later weren't because she changed, but because he never really saw her clearly!
The emperor's heart sank, and his last glimmer of hope for Shen Qingyao vanished completely.
Shen Qingyao deserves to die!
"Your Majesty, I will always be here for you."
Liang Qiuli certainly wouldn't let this opportunity pass. She reached out and grasped the emperor's hand, and whispered something.
She brought the emperor back to his senses. When he looked at her, he saw only Liang Qiuli's tender eyes, in which only his image was reflected.
The emperor felt a warmth in his heart, reached out and grasped Liang Qiuli's hand, and said softly.
"Yes, I know."
Shen Qingyao's betrayal saddened him, but Liang Qiuli's companionship brought him unprecedented warmth.
He looked intently at Liang Qiuli, his heart completely tipping in her favor.
Shen Qingyao, the woman who once stirred his heart, has now become so insignificant in his heart.
"Your Majesty, I feel sorry for you. Let's go back. I'll handle things here."
Liang Qiuli gently comforted her; she didn't want Shen Qingyao to die so easily!
Does she still remember the original owner's grudge and the task she needs to complete?
The emperor nodded slightly, letting Liang Qiuli pull him away.
No one noticed that a palace maid was suddenly missing from the emperor's and Consort Rong's entourage.
The palace maid secretly returned to the Cold Palace.
"Lord Cui, this is what our Lady instructed me to give you. If you follow the instructions, even if you can't return to the capital, you can still become a high-ranking official in a remote area."
"Please thank Consort Rong for me. I have one more request: don't let her die too easily!"
Of course, in Cui Yuande's words, she was Shen Qingyao.
The palace maid agreed and then turned to leave.
……
After Liang Qiuli appeased the emperor, she arranged for a nanny to go to the Cold Palace to teach Shen Qingyao manners.
Don't you think the original owner was just a lowly palace maid serving tea, or that the original owner didn't learn proper etiquette?
Then she would have Shen Qingyao properly learn the etiquette of serving tea.
"Shen Shuren, you're still asleep!"
As soon as the nannies entered the Cold Palace, they saw Shen Qingyao lying on the dilapidated bed, looking haggard, clearly having not slept well.
But he showed no pity whatsoever, yanking off the blanket covering Shen Qingyao and pulling her off the bed.
"Oh dear, Lord Shen's clothes are worn out. I'll change them for you right away!"
As the old woman spoke, she reached out to pull at Shen Qingyao's clothes. Shen Qingyao cried out in pain and slapped the old woman's hand away.
"How dare you! I am a Consort personally appointed by the Emperor! How dare you treat me like this!"
Shen Qingyao shouted loudly, but the nannies laughed as if they had heard a joke.
"Consort Zhao? Consort Shen, are you still dreaming? The Emperor has already decreed that your rank has been revoked, and you are now just a commoner!"
The Emperor also ordered that you may dispose of your clothes as you see fit by the Consort, so let us change them for you!
As the old woman spoke, she reached out again to pull at Shen Qingyao's clothes. Shen Qingyao struggled, but she was no match for the strength of these old women. Soon, she was dressed in an even more tattered set of palace maid's clothes.
"You! How dare you treat me like this! When I get out of here, I will make sure you pay!"
Shen Qingyao's face turned ashen with anger, and she shouted loudly.
She never expected Liang Qiuli to be so ruthless, daring to treat her like this. Wasn't she afraid that her image would collapse in front of the emperor?
The old woman glanced at her disdainfully, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
“Shen Shuren, if you still can’t see reality, the rattan cane in my hand has no eyes.”
As she spoke, the old woman raised a thin vine high in her hand, about to swing it at Shen Qingyao.
"I admit it, I admit it, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
Shen Qingyao quickly backed down, and she also remembered what Cui Yuande had said: that he would find an opportunity to make a move against Liang Qiuli at the palace banquet in a few days.
So just bear with it for a few more days.
……
"Shen Shuren, raise your hands and lower your head a little more!"
The old woman frowned as she watched Shen Qingyao serve tea, and gently tapped her wrist with the rattan cane in her hand.
Shen Qingyao's hand trembled, and the hot tea almost spilled. She quickly steadied herself and adjusted her posture according to the nanny's instructions.
Over the past few days, she has lost count of how many times she has been beaten; her hands are covered in bruises. But it seems that in order to continue humiliating her, they also give her medication, making it difficult for her to pretend to be sick!
"Shen Shuren, this is not how you serve tea. If you don't know how, you'll be cleaning latrines next time!"
The old woman spoke coldly, took the tea but didn't drink it; instead, she poured it directly onto Shen Qingyao.
The scalding tea soaked her clothes, which clung to her body, sending a shiver down her spine.
"The Noble Consort Rong has arrived!"
