It has been more than half a month since Wen Liang's wedding. According to the rules, he should sleep in the new house during the first month of his marriage.
Although Qiao Yuning felt resentful in her heart, she did not dare to say anything. Moreover, the principal wife was Princess Jiahe. Even if she hated Jiahe in her heart, she did not have the courage to argue with her.
But today she must see Wen Liang!
Because of his marriage to Princess Jiahe, Wen Liang's half-year confinement can only be lifted now. However, it was Wen Qiong who said it to the head of the family, so naturally it cannot be let go. Therefore, during this period, Wen Liang
Almost never go out.
At this moment, Qiao Yuning didn't care much. After returning to her room, she washed herself carefully, removed all the gorgeous and exquisite jewelry, replaced it with simple and elegant ones, and put on a light make-up, looking pitiful.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her, Qiao Yuning waited for news from Chenxing over there.
Princess Jiahe probably just came here, so she likes to wander around the mansion every day. After taking a nap, she usually goes to the garden and plays the piano in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. It is said that the sound of the piano is beautiful, and many little maids will run over to listen to it.
And Mrs. Wen is still in the Qiao Mansion today. She goes to see Wen Liang at this time without anyone noticing.
After Morning Star slipped back quietly, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, carrying a box of cakes, she immediately went to Wen Liang and Princess Jiahe's yard.
Sure enough, the entire courtyard was quiet, which was completely different from when Jiahe was there.
Wen Liang also told her that he and Jiahe were just two people who had to get together, and their relationship on weekdays was very ordinary.
Except for sleeping in the new house at night, he spent all his time reading in the east courtyard.
Qiao Yuning walked in with a normal expression. Just as she was crossing the door to the east courtyard, she was stopped by a little maid, "Where are you going, aunt?"
Qiao Yuning recognized her. She was a second-class maid in Jiahe's house. She was usually quiet, but now she was barking.
"I prepared some snacks and was about to deliver them to the Prince Consort!"
When the maid heard this, she immediately snatched the food box from her hand and said, "My aunt is interested, but the princess has given her orders. Now is the time for my consort to work hard, not to mention my aunt. Just take a look at our hair. Princess, every time
You even ran outside to practice the piano that afternoon, weren't you afraid of disturbing the prince-in-law's reading?"
"I...I just came out as a gift." Qiao Yuning felt that the maid in front of her was obviously trying to get rid of a tiger's skin, but she couldn't easily offend even a maid next to the princess.
The maid immediately became impatient and said, "Auntie, don't you understand? Leave this thing here. Later, the slave will take it in for you. If anything happens, wait until the princess comes back later and report it."
That's it for our princess.
Now my husband-in-law only concentrates on his studies. If I miss my future, my aunt, can you afford to pay for it?"
Qiao Yuning was choked by her and couldn't speak. She was holding a breath in her chest that she couldn't spit out or swallow. She just stared at her with a pair of eyes.
The maid immediately felt disgusted and said, "Auntie, is there anything else going on? If there is really something important, why don't you tell me and I will return the princess for you later."
Now even these despicable maids can come and humiliate her!
Qiao Yuning's eyes were red with anger, and she could only grit her teeth and say, "It's okay."
"If it's okay, aunt, please go back early! Our princess is generous and doesn't want aunt to set rules. Aunt is the most relaxed. But we are very busy and have no time to entertain aunt."
After saying that, she stared at Qiao Yuning, as if she was afraid that she wouldn't leave.
Qiao Yuning had no choice. It seemed that Princess Jiahe had been guarding against her for a long time. But if that was the case, then why did she bring her in in the first place?
When I was upset, I suddenly heard the maid behind me whispering in a low voice, "Why do you think you are a young lady? Why are you trying to show off your power in front of us? In the end, she is just a slave."
Another maid echoed, "She hasn't recognized her position yet! She just barged in without even looking at where she was, trying to charm the consort, without even looking at her own virtue!"
"
The second-class maid immediately sneered: "She asked for this herself. Who doesn't know that she is a young lady from Zhongyongbo's house, and her father is a third-rank official, but she is willing to humble herself and come to be someone's concubine.
That is to say, our Qiao family, if it were anyone else's family, I'm afraid they would have been tied up by a rope and left her in this world to be embarrassed."
Qiao Yuning was already very angry today. When she came here, she had to put in a lot of effort to hold back her anger. Now she was being arranged by such two despicable things. She couldn't stand it anymore.
Before the maid could react, she walked back quickly, raised her hand and slapped her twice.
The maid followed Jiahe out of the palace and felt that she was more noble than others. She was immediately blinded and looked at Qiao Yuning with disbelief.
"Even if you are the princess's maid, you should know the hierarchy. I am an aunt, yes, but I am also a concubine brought in as a betrothal gift. Who are you? You dare to humiliate me in front of me like this?!
The princess is kind and generous, virtuous and dignified. Who would have expected that you people would behave like this in private? I slapped you two not only for myself, but also to take charge of you for the princess, so that your words will not be exposed outside in the future.
It will cause trouble for the princess and the Wen family!"
Qiao Yuning's mind was spinning very fast. When she slapped her, she had already thought of her words. After she said this, no one could do anything to her.
At this moment, a few bursts of applause suddenly came from behind. Qiao Yuning's heart tightened. She turned around and saw Princess Jiahe coming back with a group of people.
Why is she back at this time? Doesn’t she have to practice for an hour every day?
When did she arrive? What did she hear?
But the tension only lasted for a moment, and Qiao Yuning soon regained her composure. What she just said was meant for others to hear. After careful calculation, she didn't do anything wrong.
However, this is Princess Jiahe's territory after all. Qiao Yuning was about to make a few excuses when she was interrupted by Princess Jiahe. Her eyes slid thoughtfully over Qiao Yuning's face.
Then he turned to the faces of his two maids, and his tone was a little cold, "You are so brave. When I am not here, you are so bold and dare to say anything. You are really not afraid of my reputation.
Destroyed by your hands!"
The two maids, who still had the same arrogance as before in front of Jiahe, immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Jiahe showed no mercy at all and punished them severely.
Qiao Yuning, who was on the side, was secretly proud, thinking about whether to say a few nice words, and then saw Jiahe turning to herself, "Although my aunt is right, these two are my people, and I have lived so long.
I have never seen anyone dare to take care of someone for me."
