Not many people knew about Cheng Jin's departure from the palace, and it was arranged in advance to prevent publicity.

It was only when he arrived at the gate of Cheng's house that the groom opened his mouth to tell his story. Who would have expected that this servant would be so rude.

He remembered Cheng Jin's instructions and did not dare to speak out and draw attention to himself.

The servant next to him saw that the groom was speechless and stopped pretending.

"You said that the person sitting in this carriage is the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine? Our palace did not receive the imperial edict saying that the imperial concubine will return to the palace today to visit the bride, and the second one did not listen to the master's arrangement for us to wait here early."

"Not to mention that you are pretending, even if it is true, the fact that the imperial concubine is not favored in the harem and angers the emperor has been spread outside the palace for a long time. I am afraid that the imperial concubine is too embarrassed to return home to visit relatives, fearing that the emperor is not really I was so fed up that I drove the imperial concubine out in such a dejected state."

The servants burst into laughter, and the groom was so angry that he even made his voice louder.

"If you dare to humiliate the imperial concubine, be careful with your tongue!"

The servants didn't care at all about the coachman's words, they looked at each other and smiled, "Now call out the imperial concubine in your carriage, and we will dedicate our tongues to the imperial concubine for her enjoyment."

Listening to these extremely arrogant words, Cuizhu was trembling with anger in the carriage, "But I have only been in the palace for a year or two. When did such a slave with such contempt for others come to the palace?"

Cheng Jin patted Cuizhu on the shoulder and comforted Cuizhu, "Don't get so angry. You are still young, so this kind of thing is rare."

"Young people can't be so angry. They should be calm when doing things, such as saying others scold you."

Hearing this, Cuizhu made sense and nodded half-knowingly, "That's because you are magnanimous, Miss. If it were someone else, what would you do if you couldn't protect everything..."

Before Cuizhu finished speaking, she saw Cheng Jin opening the curtain and turning back to speak to Cuizhu, "If someone scolds you, you must scold them back. Otherwise, you will be depressed in your heart and your heart will become dirty if you tolerate the bad words."

Cuizhu: "..."

Shouldn't he be so angry? Do you want to be calm?

Cheng Jinren didn't go out, but the words reached the ears of the servants first.

"Okay, it just so happens that the palace has brewed some extremely mellow and good wine recently, and we are just short of food and drinks. I just cut out your tongues. You can be considered filial to the emperor."

There was a hint of laughter in Cheng Jin's voice, but there was no smile at all, which made people's hair stand on end.

Several servants have just entered the mansion this year, and have never seen the young ladies in the mansion or the concubines in the palace.

However, hearing Cheng Jin's voice was really scary. They bowed and worshiped with hesitation, "Mother, you guys were just joking."

"It's so funny. I don't know when the slaves in this mansion can still make fun of their masters?"

There was a lot of movement at the door, and the door was opened by someone unknown.

A middle-aged man with a beard came out and shouted impatiently: "What are you yelling at the door?"

The doorkeepers immediately shouted respectfully to the man: "Steward Li."

Butler Li?

Cheng Jin instantly thought that there was only a housekeeper named Li in Cheng Mansion.

Li Changping.

This is a very capable Li Changping.

A servant in charge actually replaced everyone in the Cheng family with his people, stole her father's paintings and calligraphy to make money, and finally handed Cheng Yishou's documents to the emperor into the hands of the Fifth Prince's henchmen. Her father was misunderstood and wanted to rebel. Although Cheng Yishou tried his best to prove his innocence, he was demoted from his official position.

The moment Li Changping saw Cheng Jin, the impatience on his face turned into shock, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Old slave, please see the noble concubine."

Cheng Jin looked at Li Changping coldly. Although he didn't say a word, he already had cold sweat running down his back.

The faces of the servants also had expressions of shock, and they immediately knelt on the ground, looking at each other in confusion.

"My eyes are clumsy, my eyes are clumsy, and I didn't realize that I was the imperial concubine in front of me."

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Jin chuckled.

Those few people rested their strength, thinking they had escaped.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so magnanimous."

Cheng Jin didn't listen to what he said, so he said word by word: "Remember to give your dirty tongue to me to play with. It can be regarded as a good deed by you, and I will not pursue it. "

The servants fell to the ground, and Li Changping quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Your Majesty, these are all new servants in the mansion. They have never seen your Majesty's face. It's understandable that they admitted their mistake today, isn't it?"

No matter what Li Changping said makes sense, it would be unreasonable for Cheng Jincheng to pursue the matter any further.

Cheng Jin knew that he was setting a trap for himself.

She originally had a bad reputation in the palace. It may have been true or false before, but if she really attacked these servants today, she would be convinced of the crime.

Cheng Jin was silent for a long time without speaking, but the silence alone was enough to frighten the few people kneeling on the ground.

"Steward Li, I have only been away from home for the past two years. Are you going to teach people like this in Cheng Mansion?"

"I am the one who stopped you today, and I am the one who humiliated you. If someone from the royal family comes tomorrow, the emperor, do you still want to let the whole family of the Cheng family live?"

When Li Changping heard that Cheng Jin was so aggressive and mentioned a crime that he could not escape, he immediately kowtowed and begged Cheng Jin for forgiveness.

Li Changping was very confused. He had watched Cheng Jin grow up and was pampered when he was in the mansion.

To put it bluntly, he is just a bit stupid to spoil.

Therefore, he didn't find the rumors in the palace strange, and just listened to them as a joke, but he didn't expect that when they met today, they were both sharp-tongued and impeccable in their speaking skills.

When Cheng Jin saw Li Changping, he thought of how he backstabbed Cheng Yishou in the book, and didn't want to deal with him. It was better to go to see Cheng Yishou quickly and ask him to dig through the mansion. It was important to find his document. .

It’s not time to alert the enemy yet.

Cheng Jin took a deep breath, pretended to be magnanimous, and gave Cuizhu a look.

Cuizhu understood immediately. She got off the carriage and stood in front of the carriage, looking at the people kneeling on the ground.

"I bumped into the imperial concubine. Even if I give you ten lives, it won't be enough for you to die."

"But the empress is tired of arguing with you now. Butler Li, you have been in this house for a long time, so you naturally know what to do."

Li Changping understood what Cheng Jin meant, and kowtowed with great discernment, "Thank you for your kindness, empress."

He stood up and kicked one of them, knocking him to the ground, and then gave an order to the people behind him, "They blindly rushed at the imperial concubine. The empress was tolerant and spared their lives. Now each of them will be beaten three times." Shi Daban, drive out of the house."

One of the juniors couldn't help but immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Changping's thigh.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I gave you money, you can't do this!"
