Hearing Zhao Huan's words, Chen Yushu was so moved that she would die without regrets if she could get Zhao Huan's protection.
At this moment, a little maid stumbled over, knelt down in front of Zhao Huan with a thud, and burst into tears.
"Please, Your Majesty, spare my eldest brother's life."
Zhao Huan recognized at a glance that this little maid was the "old man" of the palace. She had been waiting for him when the palace was in decline.
It's a pity that the inner house doesn't need too many people, so she didn't choose to go in.
Zhao Huan stared at the little maid and said angrily: "No wonder this bitch can become the miscellaneous manager. You have contributed a lot here, right?"
Upon hearing this, the little maid turned pale in an instant.
When Xiaoxia saw this, she quickly ran to Zhao Huan to explain.
"Please don't blame her, Your Majesty. She, the slave and Xiaochai are all sisters. It was Xiaochai who promised her the position of head chore manager."
"Now that Xiaochai is gone, I discussed with Changfu and handed over this position to her brother."
That's what happened.
Zhao Huan immediately realized that Quangui wanted to put his sister into the inner house, not because he had colluded in advance, but because his brother hoped that his sister would be good and did something bad with good intentions.
Even so, Zhao Huan was still furious. What he hated most in his life was the bullshit human nature.
As soon as Zhao Huan raised his hand, Chen Yushu immediately stopped, and Quan Gui was already beaten until she was convulsing.
"Xiao Xia, you and Chang Fu, one is the maid of the inner house and the other is the housekeeper, so naturally you have the power to assign and appoint positions."
"But I hate nepotism the most."
"There is no small matter in the palace. How can a person like this who relies on connections to take care of the palace be able to take care of the palace with all his heart?"
Xiaoxia knew that the matter was unjust, so she did not defend herself, but just bowed her head and accepted the punishment.
Zhao Huan said bluntly: "Kick Quan Gui out of the palace, and he will never be hired again!"
"His sister didn't know, so she wasn't punished."
"As for Xiao Xia and Chang Fu, they are not good at employing people. If they are not punished, it will not bring peace to people's hearts. I will confiscate Xiao Xia's three months' salary and Chang Fu's half year's salary as a warning to others."
Xiaoxia didn't dare to hesitate and quickly agreed: "I am sincerely convinced, and I will never dare to do it again in the future."
Seeing that her brother had not lost his life, the little maid was already grateful and knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."
Although the maids and servants present did not react at all, they were extremely supportive of Zhao Huan's punishment.
After all, many old people in the palace are still busy in the front yard. Why can a person who has just entered the palace a few days directly climb to the position of general manager?
Even though he is in a high position, he still bullies others with his power. Now he is expelled from the palace, so he certainly deserves it.
Zhao Huan glanced at the maids and servants at the scene with sharp eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Anyone who holds a position in the palace, if you are not worthy of the position, please be careful. If you are caught by this king, be careful and I will break your legs."
.”
"As for wanting to stuff your family into the palace, I advise you to give up."
After the training, Zhao Huan no longer hesitated and waved his hand directly, indicating that Chen Yushu could leave the laundry room and return to the inner house.
When Xiaoxia saw this, she quickly left with Chen Yushu.
As soon as she walked out of the laundry room, Xiaoxia burst into tears.
Chen Yushu was caught off guard: "Sister Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you? You're so good, don't scare me."
Xiaoxia kept wiping her tears, feeling aggrieved and fearful: "Your Majesty has always been tough externally and kind internally, but today he suddenly got so angry, I was almost scared to death."
"And...and..."
Xiaoxia burst into tears, as if she had made a huge mistake.
After repeated questioning by Chen Yushu, Xiaoxia finally explained: "The prince punished me, so he was naturally warning the princess."
Hearing this, Chen Yushu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "Warn the princess?!"
"No way..."
"The prince has always regarded the princess as the apple of his eye. He holds her in his mouth for fear of melting and holds it in his hands for fear of falling. He loves her so much. How can he blame her?"
Xiaoxia wiped her tears and said with great certainty: "You don't understand!"
"The princess has suffered too much and is afraid that today's achievements of the palace will become a mirror, so she is cautious and cautious, fearing that anyone will make mistakes."
"The princess is also afraid of these rules imposed on us."
"The prince hits me to remind the princess not to go too far."
It turned out that this was what happened. Chen Yushu suddenly realized that what she was most worried about had finally happened. The prince pointed the finger at... the princess.
After a while, Xiaoxia told Zhu Lian exactly what happened before.
Ever since Zhu Bocai handed over 30% of the Zhu family's property to Zhu Lian, Zhu Lian has been very busy. Just a series of random accounts is enough to give her a headache.
When he learned that Chen Yushu was being harassed and humiliated by Quan Gui and that the prince was angry, Zhu Lian couldn't help but sigh and closed the account book.
"Besides asking Yu Shu to return to the inner house, what else did the prince say?"
Xiao Xia quickly replied: "The prince seems...not to want Chen Yushu to be educated and sensible. The more tough and unruly Chen Yushu is, the more the prince likes her. He also said that this is the only way to protect the princess and concubine."
Zhu Lian was thoughtful. After a moment, she shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"In that case, I am wrong."
"Go and call Yu Shu. I have something to tell her."
When Chen Yushu was called to the study room of the inner house, Zhu Lian did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Did you beat Quan Gui?"
Chen Yushu's heart skipped a beat, but she still lowered her head and admitted.
"Quangui bullied me, I'm so angry."
Zhu Lian asked again: "You are the maid, and Quangui is the general manager of miscellaneous affairs. If the maid is the general manager, isn't it the following crime?"
These words are very serious. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Yushu will be dragged out in the next moment, beaten to half death, and thrown out of the palace.
Facing the most disciplined princess, Chen Yushu felt a chill down her back, but she still didn't hesitate to hide it.
"If it happens again, I will still beat him!"
"A servant is a member of the inner house, and a person who lives with the prince and princess day and night. How can I be bullied by others!"
Just when Xiaoxia secretly broke into a cold sweat for Chen Yushu, Zhu Lian's cold face returned to a smile.
Xiaochai's answer made Zhu Lian very satisfied.
First, she took the entire beating of Quan Gui on herself and did not mention Zhao Huan at all.
Second, even if you know it is wrong, you still choose a path until you end up in trouble.
This girl is half as powerful as Xiaochai.
Zhu Lian lowered his head, continued to look at the account book, and wrote lightly: "I do not want the maids and servants of the palace to cause trouble for the prince because they do not follow the rules."
"It is my fault that I have no way to control you."
"but……"
"Your Majesty is right, there are already enough considerate maids, and there should be one or two unfaithful ones as well."
"In the future, as long as you don't make any principled mistakes and just have some bad habits, I will turn a blind eye."
