Shaoyao was not that good-tempered, so she stood up and stood in front of Su Jingyi, "Who are you? You spoke to the second princess like this, are you risking your life?"
When the woman heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She didn't seem to be afraid of the title of the second princess. Instead, she looked Su Jingyi up and down with a very strange look.
Then he realized that he seemed to have lost face in front of these maids, and put his hands on his hips, "What's wrong with the second princess? I don't care about heaven and earth, but can I care about people's shit and farts? I'm just teaching my servants in my own courtyard,
Even the second princess can't bully others like this, right?"
The woman's rude words were not blocked by Su Jingyi. Instead, she became even more arrogant, as if she was giving Su Jingyi a blow.
Su Jingyi narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of anger flashed through her eyes, but she felt very strange in her heart.
If this woman is ignorant, most people would know how to kneel down and salute to say hello to someone from the royal family.
But this woman still looked arrogant, and even secretly wanted to give her a blow?
This is really rare.
Su Jingyi didn't say anything, but Shaoyao beside her was furious at the woman's words. Just when she was about to scold the woman for her rudeness, she heard Ning Shui Yuanlangrun's voice not far away.
"Second princess?"
Ning Shuiyuan was sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed by the driver, as if he had just arrived.
After glancing at the three people confronting him, Ning Shuiyuan still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Why did the second princess come here? It was easy to find me, but I heard the servant who just cleaned said you went here..."
The driver pushed Ning Shuiyuan to a few people.
Seeing Ning Shuiyuan's arrival, Su Jingyi's expression softened slightly, "I was attracted by the scenery in Master Ning's residence, so I walked here without noticing..."
Su Jingyi glanced at the maids who were still kneeling in the courtyard, "I never thought that I would see this person... actually abusing my servants, and that's why some disputes arose."
"I wonder who this is?" Su Jingyi had an indescribable dignity when she wasn't smiling.
Although I don’t know if Ning Shuiyuan knows about this, it is what happened in his house after all. If we look at the bigger picture, Cabinet University Scholar Ning Shuiyuan treats others gently on the surface, but secretly he is a person who condones his subordinates to abuse their slaves.
…
Ning Shuiyuan also thought of this, the smile on his face faded a bit, he covered his lips and coughed a few times, and explained: "Second princess, this is Chen's adoptive mother, Mrs. Zhou.
My parents died when I was young. If my mother had not raised me and made me read and learn, I would have died long ago."
Speaking of this matter, Ning Shuiyuan's words were a little lonely, and Zhou on the side was not as arrogant as before, and lowered his head.
"My mother often suffers from headaches. Perhaps the servants are not caring well, so she beat her and scolded her a few times, which really made the princess laugh."
Ning Shuiyuan smiled apologetically at Su Jingyi, "If my mother has offended the princess in any way just now, please forgive me."
Su Jingyi saw that the expression on Ning Shuiyuan's face did not seem to be fake. On the contrary, after hearing this, Mr. Zhou shrank his neck with some guilt and did not dare to look at the others. He was not at all as arrogant as he was just now.
From this point of view, it seems more like the Zhou family hid something from Ning Shuiyuan, and Ning Shuiyuan already trusted the Zhou family and would not doubt him, so he gradually developed the Zhou family's habit of being obedient and unfaithful.
Su Jingyi's expression softened a lot, she nodded gently and said, "Although Mr. Ning is busy with official duties, he still has to take care of the affairs of the house. It would be bad if someone else takes the blame."
"Thank you for the reminder, Princess. I will keep it in mind."
Ning Shuiyuan said with a sincere expression.
Seeing this, Su Jingyi glanced at the few maids in the courtyard, thinking that with her beating this time, their lives should be easier.
If the argument continued, I was afraid that Ning Shuiyuan would be unable to come to the stage, so he changed the subject, "Didn't Master Ning say that there is a good painting and invite me to taste it together?"
"Of course, I've already ordered people to prepare it, and I'm just waiting for you, princess."
Ning Shuiyuan smiled lightly.
Seeing several people leaving, Mrs. Zhou raised her head, looked at Su Jingyi's back, curled her lips disdainfully, then glanced at the maids in the courtyard, snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the house.
Go.
**
Although it was a painting appreciation, after the small episode just now, Su Jingyi's interest was obviously not high and she was a little absent-minded. She didn't stay long before saying goodbye.
Ning Shuiyuan sent Su Jingyi to the door of the mansion.
He said apologetically: "Today's events have disturbed the princess's enjoyment. It's my fault."
Su Jingyi shook her head.
"This has nothing to do with Master Ning, it's just that I've been out for a long time and am a little tired.
I want to go back to the palace to see Jiu'er later, so I want to go back first, Master Ning, please don't worry about it."
"The ninth princess is well-behaved and cute, and is very popular. No wonder the second princess and the eldest prince like her so much."
Ning Shuiyuan seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more words back and forth, and then Ning Shuiyuan watched Su Jingyi board the carriage.
The carriage gradually disappeared around the corner, and the smile on Ning Shuiyuan's face faded little by little.
Ning Shuiyuan put his hand casually on the armrest of the wheelchair, "Go to Guiyuan."
The coachman responded and pushed Ning Shuiyuan into the mansion.
Guiyuan.
Zhou Juan was sitting at the table and cracking melon seeds at this time. The melon seed shells were thrown to the ground casually, and some were scattered on her clothes, looking very sloppy.
At this time, the door of the house was pushed open from the outside.
Zhou Juan spit out the melon seed shell and looked at the visitor calmly, "Can you send the princess away?"
Ning Shuiyuan was pushed into the house by the coachman. His elegant and gentle expression was completely gone. His face was expressionless and his eyelids were drooped, giving off an inexplicable and sinister look that he could not explain.
Seeing this, Zhou Juan also felt a little guilty. She glanced at Ning Shuiyuan's arm wrapped in gauze and muttered: "Those maids are not doing well, I just want to train them.
Moreover, my yard is so remote and there are no ghosts on weekdays. Who would have thought that this princess would come here?"
Ning Shuiyuan came to the table and glanced at Zhou Juan, but frowned slightly and did not speak.
"Besides, it's the same thing I said just now. I'm just beating and scolding my servant in my own courtyard. Who cares about her?" When Zhou Juan said this, her saliva flew everywhere, and there was a chance that it would float to her.
On Ning Shuiyuan's clothes.
Ning Shuiyuan's brows furrowed even more tightly.
He just said in a cold voice: "Is it possible that the people who lead the land are the royal ministers? This Northern Yan Kingdom belongs to their family, why do you think they can't control it?"
"Don't mention those things to me, I don't understand, doesn't she want to take care of it?
Okay! Only the mistress of this family can take care of it."
After saying that, Zhou Juan looked at Ning Shuiyuan and her eyes lit up, "Son! When will you marry this useless princess back?"
