I had only been a Tang Chuizhu for a short time, but I already felt that there was something wrong with the Prime Minister's Office. It was a great honor for the Prime Minister's Office to have a prince's consort. Not only did they take good care of her, they even abused her openly. This was really stupid.
/p
The little maidservant that the First Madam sent to invite me to eat didn't seem to have any ulterior motives. She blinked her watery eyes and looked at me. She didn't seem to realize why I punished Gui Yan. She probably thought that she was a servant who had made a mistake and was begging for mercy. Besides, wasn't it normal for a master to yell at a servant?
/p
"Young Lady, Young Lady, it's time to eat." “/p
/p
Gui Yan was still kneeling there. Even when I turned around, she didn't dare to get up.
/p
I was supported by her as we walked towards the First Madam's courtyard. But even if I used my toes to guess, I guessed that the First Madam didn't call me over to eat.
/p
This little girl had a lively temperament. She was silly and talkative, but generally, talkative servants couldn't climb to a high position. Therefore, although she was the dowry daughter brought by the eldest madam from her maternal family, she was no more than a rough servant girl who swept the fallen leaves in the courtyard. Although this girl was talkative, she didn't have a bad heart. She didn't have any ulterior motives. She was talkative and started chatting with me. I patiently listened to this girl talk about everything from the fishing village in the southeast to Guan Zhongsheng Village. She talked about how she followed her for a hundred miles to get married and how she now held power in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I felt dizzy listening to her talk. In the end, I caught a few key words and asked, "You said that your family's daughter is the First Madam. Where is she from?"
/p
"My First Madam and the Old Madam are aunt and niece. They both come from Guan Zhongsheng Village."
/p
I was surprised. Seeing that the Old Madam and her daughter-in-law didn't seem to be close, I thought that their relationship was ordinary! I continued to ask, "Where is Guan Zhongsheng Village?"
/p
Perhaps it was the mention of her beloved hometown, but the little girl became even more excited. She said, "My family, Guan Zhongsheng, is called a village. Although it's not as prosperous as the capital, it's actually much bigger than a city or town. Everyone in the village has the surname Zou. Every family can trace their ancestors back to the same family. "
/p
I suddenly thought of someone. As soon as I opened my eyes, it was the fat woman who rushed over to play tricks on me, Concubine Zhou. According to her, the old lady's surname was Zou, and the eldest madam's surname was Zou. What did these two people have to do with Concubine Zou?
/p
"In my village, there's a big lake hidden in the mountains to the south. The villagers rely on the mountain and the lake, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing. A hundred years ago, we were all self-sufficient and closed our doors. It wasn't until the old lady married Old Tang that we were able to see the village chief. Today, it has become a lively place where guests come from all over the world. "
/p
The three characters, Feng He Ju, could already be vaguely seen. Even the maidservants waiting in the courtyard with their heads bowed could roughly make out who they were. I didn't want people to know that I had inquired about a lot of things, so I temporarily stopped this girl's chatterbox. Who would have thought that although she stopped talking about Guan Zhongsheng, her mouth still didn't stop chattering. She stood on her tiptoes and looked around the courtyard. Suddenly, she cheered, "Uncle is here!"
/p
"Uncle?"
/p
The girl smiled and said, "Miss, you don't have a good memory. It's your brother, Uncle Min."
/p
I pretended to say 'oh' twice, as if I remembered. I didn't open my mouth again and waited for her to continue. In any case, her mouth wasn't sealed.
/p
Seeing that I didn't speak again, the girl continued, "It's no wonder Miss doesn't remember. It's just that this servant forgot that today is the day Uncle Min comes home. Ai, Uncle is also very tired. At the beginning of the year, he was chosen to enter the palace as His Highness the Seventh Prince's study companion. Now that it's the seventh month, the number of times he's come home can be counted on one hand. "
/p
I said, "Even if I'm not good at etiquette, I still know that men and women don't sit together after the age of seven. Besides, it's rare for Uncle Min to come home. Why didn't he go to the matriarch's room to pay his respects? Why did he run over to the eldest madam's room first? "
/p
The girl looked at me with great confusion. "Miss, you and Uncle Min are very close. This servant saw that the last few times you saw Uncle Min in the eldest madam's courtyard, you came out with red eyes from crying. Presumably, you couldn't bear to part with him. "
/p
I vaguely said, "Miss, you have to grow up. Besides, I've already been given a marriage by His Majesty's golden mouth. Even if we're blood-related siblings, we still have to avoid arousing suspicion." Besides, we weren't blood-related siblings. I'm afraid we weren't even blood-related.
/p
As soon as I entered the courtyard, Shuang Yan, with a face full of joy, came over to pull me. "Miss, you've finally come. You've made Uncle Min wait for a long time."
/p
I saw her raise her hand to pull me without any trace of politeness. She didn't seem to regard herself as a servant and me as her master. My face turned cold. I gently raised my sleeve and brushed away her strength. She was thrown by me and unconsciously spun half a circle. I thought about giving her a perfect ending. Taking advantage of the time she turned to face me, I directly raised my hand and slapped her.
/p
What a perfect circle. I don't know if she's perfect or not, but I'm perfect.
/p
"Kneel." I was in a good mood.
/p
She covered her face and rudely said to me, "This servant is the eldest madam."
/p
"I know you're the eldest madam's person. Right now, I really can't order you around." I interrupted her and said, "But even if I can't order you around now, in three days, I'll be able to order you around."
/p
In three days, I'll be Prince Yue's legitimate Princess. Punishing a maidservant of her maiden family, won't she give me face?
/p
Shuang Yan was a smart person. Her eyes rolled, and she probably already figured out what was going on. She covered her face, which was red from my slap. Satisfied, she could only compromise. Bending her knees, she hatefully knelt in front of me.
/p
I walked past her and slowly prepared to enter the door, but I heard her call for me. I turned my head, and she also turned her head. There was a clear and beautiful handprint on her white face. She smiled at me. That smile looked a bit … "Miss." She gently called me and reminded me, "Uncle Min is in the room. Don't make him wait."
/p
I nonchalantly said, "Oh." Pointing to an open space in the middle of the courtyard, I said, "Kneel over there."
/p
She stared blankly, horror frozen on her face. It was like a big fat cat with the word "ugly" carved on its forehead. It was very funny.
/p
I opened the curtain and pushed open the door to enter the room. The aroma of the food inside was almost gone. It was clear that it was another lunchtime without food. I looked around. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. I suddenly felt that something was wrong. The room was bustling with noise and excitement. How come there wasn't even a single servant?
/p
The eldest madam knelt on the soft couch in front of the Buddhist shrine, plucking the crystal prayer beads and praying. I watched as she finished plucking 27 beads and started plucking a new one. I couldn't help but call out, "Greetings to the eldest madam."
/p
The eldest madam stopped plucking the prayer beads and slowly stood up. "Second girl, you're here."
/p
I looked up at her with the help of the candlelight, but the surroundings were dark. My eyes hurt. But then again, it was a good afternoon sun. Why didn't she open the window to bask in the sun? Why did she make the room so dark? The curtains on the window were lowered.
/p
The eldest madam walked towards me. She said, "The day after tomorrow is your wedding day. Some women's words have to be said openly. I specifically asked your brother to ask for leave from the palace and call him back home to teach you."
/p
Huh?
/p
Suddenly, the wooden door of the inner room creaked open. A handsome man stood there. He was tall and thin, but his eyes were too deep and his skin was too white. In addition, he pursed his lips and stared at me without speaking. It made me feel that he was surrounded by an evil aura.
/p
He looked at me and smiled. Only the left side of his thin lips hooked up. "Why do you still need to teach her? Isn't she already skilled?"
/p
Hmm?
/p
The conversation between the mother and son was very strange. Moreover, my nominal elder brother was looking at me like a hungry tiger looking at a piece of fat meat. He was obviously looking at me with lust. I suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that this mother and son pair already thought of this body as a sex slave for this great master?
/p
I was burning with anger. Just as I was about to say the word 'incestuous', I suddenly remembered that this body was just a nameless girl they had picked up from the fishing village. In their eyes, her status might not even be as high as the servant girl Shuang Yan who was kneeling outside.
/p
Then isn't it normal for the servant girl in the room to be played with by the men?
/p
I suddenly had a conflicting feeling of anger and hatred towards this body. It was a bit of sadness for her misfortune and anger for her failure to fight. I glanced left and right at the two of them, resisting the urge to cut them into eight pieces. I only calmly warned them, "I am now a girl personally appointed by His Majesty, the future Princess of Prince Yue. Now that you dare to be disrespectful to me, don't tell me you want to take the risk of being beheaded!"
/p
Tang Min said, "I have long heard that you threw yourself into the lake and died; who would have thought that you are still as stupid as before? If the risk of being beheaded was really on us, mother and son, why were you so disheartened that you wanted to die and be done with it?"
/p
My first reaction was realization. I didn't expect this body to really throw herself into the lake and die.
/p
My second reaction was anger. I was so angry that I was burning with anger. I was so angry that my whole body was burning. How would I know what the previous me in this body was thinking? I wasn't a fool who didn't want to take revenge after losing her chastity and instead threw herself into the lake to seek her own death.
/p
The eldest madam made a mistake. I turned around and walked towards the door. She seemed to be used to the following process. She doted on her son very much. With a soft voice, she ordered, "After all, this girl is going to marry the Prince in two days. Although she lost her chastity before marriage, she can't leave a scar. Don't let the Prince find out that she was wronged in the fu."
/p
"Does the Prince care?"
/p
The eldest madam said, "It doesn't matter if the Prince doesn't care. We have to do enough for the imperial family on the surface. They care about this the most."
/p
Tang Min said with a smile, "That's right, that's right. This son will remember it. Good mother, quickly leave. This son needs to teach this sister of mine who doesn't understand love. "
/p
The eldest madam really could be called a loving mother to her son. A loving mother couldn't stand the wastrel acting like a spoiled child. In the end, she said, "The medicinal plaster is in the third layer of the rosewood cabinet." Then she consciously walked out, leaving us brother and sister looking at each other in the room.
