"This … …" Princess Ding An was completely dumbfounded!
Did she not tell her that she was coming to catch Feng Yu Heng's traitor? Why did it turn out to be her daughter after coming here?
Wang Chuan, who had come along with everyone, saw that the person inside was not Feng Yu Heng and could not help but let out a sigh of relief. When Feng Yu Heng left, she did not allow her to follow. She was truly afraid that something would happen and Prince Yu would blame her. That would be a capital offense!
"Imperial concubine mother!" Qing Le's face was filled with grief. She wanted to stand up, but she felt that her image was too unsightly. She had no choice but to adjust her position in the water and continue to stay.
But when she moved, she ended up touching the place that the man should not have touched the most. The man in the bathtub let out a groan, as his face turned red.
The surrounding female guests all turned their heads and could not help but take a deep breath. This imperial daughter Qing Le's courage was too big!
"Quickly get up for me!" Princess Ding An was on the verge of exploding with anger. She pushed the servant at her side forward: "Quickly pull imperial daughter up for me and put on some clothes."
But who would have clothes in their hands. The maidservants were all helpless.
They then heard Qing Le shout: "I was pushed in by someone! Someone pushed me! "
But who would believe it? When they entered this room, aside from the servant standing next to the screen, where was there anyone else?
After Qing Le finished shouting, she also realized this point. Thinking quickly, she immediately turned her fierce gaze towards the maidservant: "It was her!" She reached out and pointed: "It was her that pushed me into the water!"
The servant was frightened. How could she have thought that Qing Le would bite back and quickly explained: "That's not it! Imperial daughter, it was not this servant that pushed you! There was no one that pushed you at all! "
The female guests were not idiots. No matter how powerful a servant was, could she push Qing Le, who had always been arrogant and knew a bit of martial arts, into the water? That was just nonsense!
But Qing Le wanted to find a scapegoat, so they could not expose her. They could only watch this play unfold.
Princess Ding An naturally knew that Qing Le was looking for a scapegoat, thus she quickly played along: "Servants! Take this bold girl away for me! Flog her to death! "
"Wah!" The maidservant burst into tears. "This servant has been wronged! This servant was wrongly accused! Imperial Daughter told this servant to look for Second Young Miss Feng in the outer room. Then, this servant heard sounds from inside. As soon as I came in, I saw that Imperial Daughter was already in the water! It has nothing to do with this servant! This servant has been wronged! "
"Quickly take her away!" Princess Ding An was simply mad with anger. Glaring at Qing Le, she gasped for breath.
Feng Chen Yu was also curious as to why things had become like this. She looked left and right, anxiously searching the crowd.
A young lady from an unknown family saw her like this and couldn't help but ask, "Who is Miss Feng looking for?"
Chen Yu casually said: "Where did my second sister go?"
Just as she finished speaking, she heard a voice from outside the door. "Big sister, Xiang Rong and I are here."
Everyone turned around and saw Feng Yu Heng walking over with Feng Xiang Rong, who had changed her clothes. Behind them were a servant from the palace and Feng Xiang Rong's servant.
Wang Chuan quickly went forward to receive them: "Third young miss has finished changing her clothes?"
Feng Yu Heng nodded, "That's right." As she spoke, she turned around and glared at the servant from Ding An palace, "Ding An palace's servants really are careless. A cup of tea was spilled all over my third sister's body. Fortunately, the palace had prepared new clothes, so my third sister did not lose too much face." She then looked at Princess Ding An and said: "Many thanks princess for preparing the clothes. They fit my third sister perfectly."
Her words left Princess Ding An not knowing how to respond. She was both angry and embarrassed.
At this time, Chen Yu spoke up, asking the palace's servant behind Feng Yu Heng: "Where were you just now?"
The servant timidly replied: "We were in the room next door."
Chen Yu then asked: "Feng family's second young miss was also inside?"
The servant nodded, "Second young miss came to help third young miss change her clothes."
"Eldest sister, what sort of answer do you want?" Feng Yu Heng looked at Chen Yu, "Xiang Rong's clothes were dirty, so I went to help her change. At that time, eldest sister was playing the zither, so it was not convenient to call you."
With the mention of playing the zither, Chen Yu's face darkened a little. Looking at Feng Yu Heng, she did not hide the hatred in her eyes.
At this time, a servant came in with a cloak and finally rescued imperial daughter Qing Le from the bathtub.
After Qing Le came out of the bathtub, she trembled from the cold; however, she did not forget to settle this debt with Feng Yu Heng. Pointing at her, she began cursing: "You shameless slut! It must have been you that pushed me in! The person that should have been in this room was you! "
Feng Yu Heng was very puzzled, "I was in the room next door the entire time helping third sister change her clothes. Why is imperial daughter accusing me like this?" As she spoke, she asked the servant behind her, "Did you see me come out of this room?"
The servant shook her head, "Ever since second young miss Feng entered the room, you have not come out."
Qing Le was so angry that she nearly fainted, "Which family's servant are you? Who are you speaking up for? "
The maidservant was so frightened that she fell to her knees. "Your Highness, this servant doesn't know anything! Sister Qing Lian only told this servant to deliberately spill the tea on the Feng family's third young miss' dress then bring third young miss here to change her clothes. She did not tell this servant anything else! "
Once these words came out, everyone let out a long "oh" sound, thinking that it was actually like this.
"Nonsense!" Princess Ding An glared at the servant, "Drag her out and beat her to death!"
The servant was scared silly. She did not understand why she would be beaten to death, as she repeatedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness.
Unfortunately, at this sort of time, who would spare her life. Princess Ding An was eager to find a scapegoat to help Qing Le recover.
But how could this rebellion be so easily quelled?
"What should imperial daughter Qing Le do?" Feng Yu Heng looked at Qing Le and faintly said this, "Imperial daughter did not choose a time when there was no one around for a private meeting. Now that there are so many pairs of eyes watching, to seal everyone's mouths would not be easy, right?"
Someone that disliked Qing Le interjected: "Normally speaking, with this sort of thing happening, perhaps imperial daughter can only marry that person."
Feng Yu Heng shook her head, "Naturally, there is another path."
Another person interjected: "But the other path is to kill yourself."
"All of you shut your mouths!" Qing Le was about to go crazy. Turning her head, she pointed at the man in the tub and said: "Why are you still here?" She then loudly shouted: "Guards! Drag this criminal out for this imperial daughter and have his head chopped off! Behead him! "
"On the day of Princess Ding An's birthday, who is it that is saying such bloody words?" A voice came from outside the room. It did not seem to have been spoken with much force, but it managed to enter everyone's ears in the midst of the chaos.
Everyone turned their heads and saw the seventh prince, Xuan Tianhua, walking over with a group of male guests. The person at the seventh prince's side was the over 50 year old Lord Ding An.
Seeing the male guests arrive, a voice immediately exploded in Qing Le's mind "It's over!"
Lord Ding An angrily glared and took a few steps forward. "Pa pa", he slapped Qing Le twice across the face. When he was young, he was a military general and had great strength. These two slaps not only knocked Qing Le to the ground, but also caused blood to appear at the corner of her mouth.
Qing Le looked at him with grief: "Lord father, I have been wrongly accused."
"I have lost all of my face because of you!" Lord Ding An angrily lifted the screen. The man still soaking in the tub was so scared that he nearly drowned himself.
"Guards!" Lord Ding An gave the order and two guards immediately came forward. He pointed at the man in the tub and said: "Drag this person out and dismember him with five horses!"
"My lord, please spare me!" The man was scared silly, "My lord! This has nothing to do with me! It was all arranged by imperial daughter. This subordinate does not know why imperial daughter jumped in herself! My lord! This subordinate has guarded the palace for many years. Would my lord please spare this subordinate's life! "
"Lord Ding An." Xuan Tianhua spoke up once more. With a few words, he focused all of the attention on him, "Regardless of whether this person is dead or alive, imperial daughter Qing Le's reputation has already taken a hit. As I see it, it would be better to allow these two children to get married. This can be considered a double celebration for the Ding An palace. " As he spoke, he looked towards Princess Ding An: "Princess, please do not worry. I will report this matter to Lord Father and ask Lord Father to personally sanction the marriage. Princess and my lord should just wait to prepare imperial daughter's wedding banquet!"
After he finished speaking, he shook his sleeves, turned around, and left with his subordinates.
Lord Ding An wanted to call Xuan Tianhua back, but Qing Le stubbornly held onto his robe and cried: "Lord Father! Daughter does not want to marry him! Daughter likes his Highness Prince Yu. Would Lord Father please approve! "
Feng Yu Heng angrily laughed, "Does imperial daughter Qing Le think that there is no one left in my Feng family? You've already done this with someone else. Number one hundred and ten are all watching. Even His Highness Prince Chun has seen it with his own eyes, yet you're still hoping for Prince Yu? May I ask imperial daughter, do you want to compete with me for the position of official Princess Yu, or do you want to be a concubine? "
At this time, Qing Le's mind was no longer clear. She subconsciously replied: "This imperial daughter naturally wants to be official Princess!"
Feng Yu Heng angrily glared at Lord Ding An, her voice becoming sharp: "Did my lord hear that? Do you want me to immediately chase his Highness Prince Chun back and have Prince Chun change his words in front of the Emperor. Just say that although imperial daughter Qing Le has already bathed with another man, her heart still belongs to Prince Yu. Would the Emperor please make the decision to give her to Prince Yu as official Princess Yu. At the same time, would Prince Yu personally come to my Feng family to annul the engagement? "
Qing Le desperately tugged at Lord Ding An's robe and bitterly begged: "Lord Father, quickly agree to her!"
Lord Ding An angrily raised his foot and fiercely kicked Qing Le away.
Princess Ding An quickly stepped forward in fear and hugged Qing Le. At the same time, she also complained with Qing Le: "Your own daughter was bullied, yet you actually hit her? Is there a father like you? "
How could Lord Ding An be in the mood to argue with this mother and daughter pair. He only looked at Feng Yu Heng and anxiously said: "Feng family's young miss, you absolutely must not do this! For Qing Le to say such a thing, it was I who did not teach her well. Would Feng family's young miss please do not take it to heart and do not take it seriously. "
"Why should I not take it seriously?" Qing Le cried and said: "I want to marry Prince Yu. I have liked Prince Yu since I was young. Lord Father, why do you not allow me to marry him?"
With Qing Le's nonsense, the madams and young misses present could not bear to continue watching. They all spoke up for Feng Yu Heng "Although you are an imperial daughter, you cannot be so unreasonable. Not to mention that Prince Yu and the Feng family's second young miss have already set an engagement. Even if they did not, with your current appearance, how could you be worthy of his Highness Prince Yu. "
"That's right, Lord Ding An is bullying people too much."
Feng Yu Heng's expression also became cold. Looking at Lord Ding An, she coldly snorted: "I have always heard of Lord Ding An's martial prowess, but I never thought that my first time seeing you would be like this. Heng Zheng is not talented and has received his Highness Prince Yu's favor; however, she has provoked imperial daughter Qing Le's hatred. Lord, I will definitely return to the manor and tell father about today's matter. I will also send someone to inform his Highness Prince Yu. Although my Feng family is not a noble, we will not allow others to bully and humiliate us. There is also the matter of Princess Ding An forcing us sisters to play the zither for a group of servants. I remember it all! "
After saying this, she grabbed Xiang Rong's hand and said to the two maidservants at her side: "Let's return to the manor!"
