♂?，，

  The two of them didn't say anything else, just kowtowed and apologized. Chu Ke'er was annoyed and stood up coldly, saying: "I've been a noble lady for over ten years now, but I'm being taught by a maid on how to be a noble lady? You're even killing chickens to scare monkeys in front of me! I think you have quite the nerve, being the wife of the Duke. I don't dare do anything, just please hurry up and take me back to the Duke's residence, or else send me back home so I can learn how to be a noble lady properly."

  Hua Mei listened to her words and became serious, repeatedly kowtowing and saying: "Miss said so, it's really that this slave can only knock her head to death. What identity dares to teach Miss? It's just because this evil maid was provoking on the side, and this slave was also momentarily anxious... Begging Miss to calm down, this slave was wrong, and won't dare again."

  Behind her, Ping Li was so frightened that she almost fainted. She took all the blame on herself and kowtowed repeatedly, begging: "Young lady, please calm down, spare my life!"

  Pingli wanted to ask Chuke to say a word to spare her, but Chuke knew that no matter what she said, Huamei would not spare Pingli. Moreover, she herself was in a precarious situation and still wanted to use Huamei's mouth to tell the Duchess of Jun that she wanted to go home.

  She said coldly, "Spare? I'm not even as good as a slave girl who knows the rules. How dare you say spare? Now come with me to find the Duchess of the County, either you go or please return"

  She could only bow her head repeatedly and didn't dare say another word.

  After listening to the butterfly's gossip for half a day, it turned out that this girl deliberately spread rumors and caused trouble with Pingli, actually wanting to go home.

  The original intention of leaving the young lady was to be the crown prince's consort. Now that something shameful has happened in the mansion, and it was the second young lady who brought about the trouble, it just so happens that the Butterfly Sisters also want to invite the Duke's Consort to show her attitude. As for these three young ladies, whether they stay or leave, the Duke's Consort should have new ideas by now.

  Having thought of this, Hua Die hastily lifted the curtain and went in to kneel on the ground, saying: "Miss, please calm down. Hua Mei dares not offend you. I will go invite the princess to come and deal with her. It's all because of your precious body that we can't afford to get angry over this small matter."

  Chu Ke thought to herself with a cold smile: Good, another lesson for the master. But she immediately changed her mind, thinking that if she overacted, it would be obvious and lose its meaning. Thinking of this, she pretended to be persuaded, sat down, calmed her emotions for a while, then said: "Go tell the Duke's consort, I'm feeling better now, I want to go home."

  "Yes." Hu Die glanced at Hua Mei and Ping Li, who were kneeling in front of her, and hastily stood up and retreated. She stopped for a moment at the door, then heard San Gu Niang say from inside: "You all go out too, I want to be alone for a while, don't disturb me if it's nothing important."

  "Yes." Huamei and Pingli answered in unison with a sobbing tone. Before long, the two of them also came out.

  Huā Dié was standing at the door, scowling and glaring at Píng Lì. Píng Lì shrank her neck in fear and quickly ran away. Just as Huā Méi was about to storm off in a huff, she was grabbed by the arm by Huā Dié and pulled into the ear room.

  She was afraid of startling the three daughters in the house, so she couldn't struggle hard and could only be pulled into the house by her. She saw her carefully closing the door, and before Hua Die could speak, she coldly said: "Why don't you hurry up and go back to the king's concubine? What are you doing here?"

  Hua Die turned around and pulled her along, saying: "What's wrong with you today?"

  Hua Mei coldly smiled and said: "I'm not confused, I thought our relationship was different, in this mansion we can help each other, today I understand what kind of relationship it is, all surpassed by that superfluous mind"

  "Listen to me," Hua Die hastily said: "Is the person involved confused about today's matter, and San Guniang intentionally provoked it, yet can't see it?"

  Her eyebrows were still coldly smiling on her face, but in her heart, she suddenly felt enlightened. She was only slightly embarrassed by her words and fell silent.

  Huā Dié continued: "Third Sister must be because of the Li girl's affair in the mansion, and Li girl was invited by Second Sister. She wants to clear herself, so she hurriedly found an excuse to make a scene, but it wasn't targeting us. I said that too, wanting Third Sister to know that we already understand..."

  Her anger dissipated, she turned around and hastily said: "I know... I was too anxious, I said some irrelevant things." She stretched out her hand to grab Huadie's hand: "Don't mind me."

  Huā Dié smiled and said: "What's the big deal? If it were usual, I would have understood long ago. It's just that today San Guniang has a bad temper, if I were in her place, I'd be anxious too..."

  Her eyebrows were slightly lowered on her face, and she nodded with a red face.

  Hua Die Dao said: "I have to hurry up and report San Guniang's intention to the Junwang Fei. Now that something has happened in the mansion, Junwang Fei must have other intentions."

  "Go quickly!"

  The butterfly painting finally came out, and it was heading in the direction of the county king's wife. On the way, she thought about how to respond to this, because today San Niang had used the eyebrow painting as a pretext for her actions. If she didn't respond well, it would drag in the eyebrow painting, and that would really make things difficult with Hua Mei.

  After careful consideration, she thought of a plan and arrived at the mansion of the King's wife. In the corridor outside the hall, four or five maids and housekeepers were waiting, each with a tense expression and an uneasy look, obviously all because of Li's daughter.

  Hua Die saw the situation and knew that the princess had already calmed down Li Gongzhu, so she also quietly waited at the back, a bit tense. Looking around at the setup, the princess was very angry. She went over her plan for responding again in her mind.

  With her head hung low in thought, she suddenly felt the atmosphere around her tense up. The originally seated housekeeper and others all stood up. She raised her head to see the princess's face filled with anger, swiftly striding out of the upper room like a gust of wind, followed closely by her maidservants who also walked quickly. A line of people came towards this side, everyone in the hall standing on both sides, bowing their heads and respectfully waiting for her to pass.

  The crown princess walked into the hall, and everyone bowed their heads even lower, including Huadie, who shrunk her body and bent her waist. After the group passed by like a gust of wind, Huadie could feel that the people around her had noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.

  She herself also let out a sigh of relief, at this time, the county princess's house began to flow like water and summon people waiting in the corridor. Huadie's eyes were fixed on the people in the corridor, who quickly disappeared, leaving only herself behind. She became tense, recalling what she was about to say, staring at the door curtain of the upper house, when she heard footsteps coming from behind her.

  She turned her head to see that it was Cai Xia, the senior maid of the Crown Prince's consort, who had come in. Cai Xia's expression was calm as she came up to her and said, "Follow me, the Crown Prince's consort wants to see you."

  The butterfly painting was stunned, turned back to look at the upper house, and immediately reported... She hesitated for a moment, softly said: "Can I go back to the county princess first, and then visit the prince's wife?"

  Cai Xia stared at her and said: "The Crown Prince's consort told you to go now"

  The butterfly painter didn't dare to say more and quickly lowered his head and replied: "Yes."

  Cai Xia turned around and walked ahead, Hua Die looked back at the upper house courtyard again, but could only follow Cai Xia to meet the Crown Prince's consort first.

  She had come to the crown prince's residence, and Cai Xia lifted the curtain and went in first. Hua Die hesitated for a moment outside before hearing Cai Xia say, "Why don't you come in?"

  She hastily lifted the curtain and entered, seeing the princess sitting upright in the chair in the main hall, looking down at her. She quickly stepped forward half a step and knelt on the ground, softly saying: "Your servant greets the Princess."

  "What's going on with you going to the Upper House?" The Crown Princess didn't beat around the bush, and directly asked.

  Hua Die hesitated for a moment, then said in a soft voice: "The princess of the king is worried that San Gu Niang's body has not recovered yet, and ordered us servants to go back and report on San Gu Niang's daily situation."

  "Hmph," the Crown Princess coldly snorted, "Reporting on Third Young Miss's daily life? You've found a good time to do so. Clearly knowing that there are matters at hand in the manor, the Duke's Consort can't be bothered, yet you're going to report on Third Young Miss's daily life now? Are you taking me for a fool or thinking I have a strong backing?"

  The kneeling Huadie bit her lip. What was going on between the Crown Prince's consort and Third Young Miss, how could they know as servants? But Huadie knew that the Duke's consort had sent her and Huamei because she was dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's consort for putting someone unseemly by Third Young Miss's side. The Duchess had also hinted to them to keep an eye on things...

  The princess looked at her silently, apparently feeling that she didn't dare to do anything to her. Indeed, she was the county king's concubine's maid, and he really didn't dare to do anything to her, but speaking some harsh words was still possible.

  "It seems that I'm not taken seriously? Alright, go back to the Duchess of Jun. However, be more careful in the future, don't let me catch your weakness." The voice of the Crown Prince's consort was not harsh, but rather light and casual.

  Huā Dié lightly responded with a "yes" and stood up, backing away as she left. When she reached the door, she subconsciously looked up to see Cǎi Xiá standing at the entrance with her head bowed and an expressionless face.

  The butterfly hastily came out of the courtyard, stood on the empty corridor, and only then stopped in her tracks, deep in thought. The princess consort was obviously trying to coerce her, if she didn't listen to her words and still went back to the duchess, from now on she would be in a difficult situation, no matter how that Li girl or the prince were, the princess consort would always be above her. Moreover, it was clear that the princess consort attached great importance to the third girl's affair, otherwise she wouldn't have personally spoken those words without regard for her identity as a princess consort.

  However, with the county princess blocking in front of her, the crown prince's consort didn't dare to do anything to the county princess's people. The county princess was able to keep shielding herself, but would she be willing to lose face for a mere maid? The crown prince's consort understood her personality - once she sank her teeth into someone, she wouldn't let go. If she really got a hold of something that could ruin the county princess, would the county princess be willing to give up her dignity for a servant girl? No need to think about it, it was impossible...

  Butterfly thought for a moment, weighed the pros and cons, and could only turn around and go back.

  It is by.
