Chapter 277
"If she yells again, shut her mouth."
Seeing that Dong's consort also hurriedly went out to appease her mother-in-law, Princess Jinghui gave extremely cold orders to the kneeling Mother-in-law Huang.
As soon as these words were spoken, the inner room fell silent, and the maids and women could not help but feel their hearts tremble.
It seems that the princess really doesn’t want this daughter anymore!
"yes--"
Mrs. Huang didn't dare to move and answered respectfully in a medium voice.
"Go down and watch. No one is allowed to approach the backyard. This is my princess's order!"
Thinking of her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law at home, Princess Jinghui was afraid that they would do something bad, so she ordered Mrs. Huang with a cold face and a very serious face.
Moreover, it comes with the majestic order of the princess!
"Yes, I must guard it carefully and not let anyone step into the backyard."
Seeing Princess Jinghui's serious tone, Mrs. Huang knew that she had completely given up on her daughter, so she plucked up the courage to answer loudly.
"Get out—"
Princess Jinghui waved, and Mrs. Huang kowtowed again, then bowed and walked out backwards.
"Mother Du——"
"The old slave is here, princess, please give me your instructions!"
When Princess Jinghui called her, Aunt Du, who was standing aside, immediately stepped forward and stood by respectfully.
"Now you should take a few people to the treasurer of this palace to choose a new dowry. The ones that were prepared before are not allowed to be touched."
Princess Jinghui, who was heartbroken by her daughter, after all this trouble, no longer planned to give Dong Huanyan the dowry she had prepared for more than ten years.
You know, it was the Princess's Mansion and the Dong's Mansion, which together carefully purchased Dong Huanyan's dowry for more than ten years, including land, houses, courtyards, and shops;
Expensive antique calligraphy and paintings, furniture and furnishings;
There are exquisite jade utensils and head and face jewelry;
Everything down to clothing, hats, handkerchiefs and sweat towels;
Even the maids and slaves who were brought in as part of the dowry were selected and trained early. Princess Jinghui and his wife put all their thought and love into their only daughter!
Now, she feels that everything has been in vain and it is not worth it!
If Dong Huanyan knew that she had lost everything because of her selfishness and ignorance, I don’t know what her reaction would be!
I thought that Princess Jinghui's indifference to Dong Huanyan was the harshest punishment, but I didn't expect that she would give such an order, which made Grandma Du and the maids beside her tremble again.
"yes--"
Grandma Du answered respectfully without even daring to breathe.
Then, she mustered up the courage to look at Princess Jinghui, who was leaning on the bedside with a cold face.
"But how should we prepare this dowry? How many sets are appropriate?"
Grandma Du, who was really unsure of the standards, endured the risk of being scolded by Princess Jinghui and asked for instructions cautiously.
She is a servant after all. Even if Princess Jinghui dislikes Dong Huanyan, she is still her biological daughter and has no control over their behavior as servants!
Because her mind was clear, Grandma Du asked Princess Jinghui for instructions and wanted to further explore the princess's thoughts.
Perhaps this problem also embarrassed Princess Jinghui. She was seen leaning on the bedside, closing her eyes and saying nothing for a long time.
She remained silent, and Grandma Du and the maids did not dare to move. They just stood there quietly with their heads lowered.
After a while, Princess Jinghui slowly opened her eyes, as if she had made a decision.
"As an ordinary person, if you have a good reputation, you will be passable."
Princess Jinghui's voice was low and gentle, and no other emotion could be heard in her tone except indifference.
"yes--"
Grandma Du, who was very excited to listen, understood what it meant as soon as she heard it, and answered respectfully.
"Since this is an ordinary family, anything that violates the rules is not allowed to appear in the dowry. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Remembering that Dong Huanyan almost killed her young son, Princess Jinghui suddenly became angry and with a very obvious look of disgust in her eyes, she coldly ordered Aunt Du.
Princess Jinghui's sudden change of tone made the already frightened Nanny Du feel frightened, and she understood the meaning of her words even more.
"Old slave, I understand. Please rest assured, Your Highness, Princess, not a single thing that is inconsistent with the rules will appear in the dowry."
Things that do not conform to the rules are, in the final analysis, valuable and valuable things!
Princess Jinghui is determined to send Dong Huanyan out!
As for the dowry, if it wasn't for the sake of face, she wouldn't want to give her any.
After all, the couple is still soft-hearted. If this matter had been changed by someone else, a daughter like Dong Huanyan would have either been sent to the family temple to be a aunt for life, or died of illness quietly, how would she have been given a dowry!
"Go and prepare as soon as possible, and by the way, bring the roster you selected last time to me."
"yes--"
As she spoke, Grandma Du turned around and went to the outer room, and came in with a book in her hand.
"But the roster leftover from the last selection?"
Princess Jinghui asked coldly, enduring her physical discomfort.
"Back to Princess, it's that booklet."
When Grandma Du replied, she stepped forward, holding the booklet in both hands and handed it to Princess Jinghui.
"I don't want to see it, princess. You choose a family farthest from the capital, with an average family background, and decent character, and ask them to come as soon as possible to welcome the bride."
Princess Jinghui glanced at the booklet, then closed her eyes and coldly ordered Aunt Du.
These words shocked Grandma Du, who was standing on the bedside with a booklet in both hands, her hands trembled slightly and she almost fell to her knees.
They are not even willing to choose a husband for their daughter and let her do the job as a slave. This must be so disgusting!
Grandma Du couldn't help but think so, she didn't dare to accept this matter.
You know, this matter is very serious!
Not to mention, how could a slave of hers be so brave as to choose a husband for the princess’s daughter!
Even the old lady in the mansion and other lords and ladies couldn’t agree to it even if they knew about it!
The more I thought about Grandma Du, the more scared I became, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing no one responded, Princess Jinghui slowly opened her eyes again and looked directly at Aunt Du standing at the head of the bed with dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter? Nanny Du, do you have any questions?"
Princess Jinghui's tone and eyes made Grandma Du come back to her senses, and she immediately lowered her head to show her obedience.
"I don't dare, I will do as the princess wishes."
Grandma Du felt miserable and had to obey the order obediently.
"You guys go down and get ready, I'm exhausted!"
Princess Jinghui, who didn't want to ask anything about Dong Huanyan anymore, slowly lay down and planned to take a nap.
Maybe when you wake up, these things will become clearer!
Seeing this, Nanny Du did not dare to stay any longer, nor did she dare to make the slightest sound. She carefully tucked Princess Jinghui's quilt, picked up the book, and quietly left with a few maids.
It wasn't until they exited the house that Grandma Du and the maids took a long breath.
"Mommy, do you really want to choose a husband for the young lady?"
After taking a look inside the room, one of the maids asked Aunt Du in a very low voice.
Unexpectedly, these words received a sharp look from Grandma Du.
"Don't talk too much when you shouldn't ask!"
"yes--"
The maid was so frightened that she became stiff and answered continuously.
"Guard your mouth, and don't talk nonsense about what you just heard. Otherwise, Her Highness the Princess will hold you accountable, and none of you will think about it!"
Knowing that what happened in the house would have serious consequences, Grandma Du gritted her teeth and warned the maids sternly.
"yes--"
Chapter completed!
