Seeing that the old lady and Lu Jingting were unwilling to pay attention to her, Lu Guifang was worried that her mother-in-law would look for her after waking up, so she hurriedly took her leave.
She walked into the garden, glanced towards the northwest corner, and told her personal maid Ling'er, "Go and ask about the cousin of the Lin family and find out where she came from."
She was able to trick his brother into deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and even gave birth to a son and a daughter. This woman is no ordinary person. Who knows, she might be useful in the future.
Ling'er asked worriedly, "But the old lady and the prince don't seem to want you to get too involved?"
"Silly girl, even though the Zhennan Palace is my backer, I can't trust it wholeheartedly. After all, I am a concubine's daughter who married out. It is always beneficial to know some family secrets."
"My slave understands."
"That cousin of the Lin family might even be my 'noble lady'."
Lu Guifang smiled meaningfully.
"Young Madam, the person in front seems to be the princess's personal maid, her name is...Xia He?" Ling'er pointed to the distance.
Lu Guifang frowned. It was the unruly maid. "What is this?"
She blocked Xia He's way and raised her eyebrows to look at the things that the maids behind Xia He were carrying.
"My dear Miss, it was the Princess of Yongning who sent someone to send a few baskets of lychees to the Princess."
"Lychees?" Lu Guifang smiled. "What a coincidence! I love lychees the most. Send them all to me."
"Miss, if you like it, go buy it yourself. This is something given to you by the Princess Yongning, and I dare not make the decision on my own."
"you!"
Lu Guifang raised her hand to hit her, but Xia He dodged lightly, "Miss, my indenture is in the hands of the eldest princess. I am not a servant of the Zhennan Palace. Not to mention that you are married now, even if you are not married, you have no right to discipline me!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Lu Guifang was furious. "I'm going to see today what Xiao Yunxi can do to me after I beat you up!"
A woman who longs for her brother's favor can fight back for a slave!
Lu Guifang picked up a branch angrily and was about to hit Xia He in the face.
Xia He took two steps back calmly and bowed in the direction of Lu Guifang, "Hello, Madam Dong."
"Who are you going to hit with that branch?"
When Lu Guifang heard the voice, her face changed. She turned around and saw her mother-in-law standing behind her, staring at her coldly. She immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Mother...Mother..."
Madam Dong asked in a deep voice, "Were you always so domineering and mean to your servants when you were at your mother's house?"
"Did our Dong family treat you badly by not letting you eat lychees? Did you become so greedy that you wanted to rob your sister-in-law's baskets of lychees and even beat up her maid?"
Lu Guifang smiled awkwardly, "No... No, you misunderstood. I just wanted to teach this disrespectful servant a lesson."
"Reprimand? How can you reprimand the maid of the eldest princess?" Madam Dong glanced at Lu Guifang. "You are the one who has no respect for the superiors and the inferiors. What's more, your words and actions are vulgar and you have lost the virtue of a woman!"
Lu Guifang panicked and quickly explained, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is..."
"What is it? Do you think I'm blind or deaf? How dare you quibble?"
Madam Dong said to Xia He gently, "You should go back and serve the princess first."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Xia He didn't even look at Lu Guifang and left.
After returning to Feiyu Pavilion, Xia He told Xiao Yunxi the whole story.
Chun Xiao covered her mouth and laughed, "This young lady is really rude. She doesn't have the demeanor of a girl from an aristocratic family at all. No wonder Madam Dong dislikes her."
Xiao Yunxi ate the lychees peeled by the maid, and her eyes narrowed with smile. Sister Yun really understood her. These lychees were so sweet.
"Xia He, send some lychees to the old lady, the princess, and the Dong family."
"The young lady must be furious."
"It's her business if she gets mad. It has nothing to do with me." Xiao Yunxi continued to pick up a lychee and eat it.
In less than an incense stick of time, the entire Zhennan Palace knew that their eldest daughter was slapped twice by the old lady of the Dong family and was punished to kneel for an hour.
After the old lady knew the whole story, she was angry at Lu Guifang's arrogance and Madam Dong's ruthlessness.
The one being punished was not Lu Guifang, but the entire Prince Zhennan's Mansion!
Just at this moment, the lychees sent by Xiao Yunxi arrived. The old lady looked at the lychees and wanted to throw them away but didn't dare to. She wanted to eat them but was too embarrassed, so she could only put them aside far away, hoping that no one would see them.
Although Ruan was worried about Lu Guifang and resented Madam Dong for being so harsh, she could not complain about the mother-in-law controlling her daughter-in-law. She could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and eat lychees behind closed doors.
After dark, Lu Guifang ran to Shou'an Hall to cry to the old lady.
"Grandma, Xiao Yunxi did this on purpose. She refused to give me a few baskets of lychees. She was clearly setting a trap for me!"
"With her personality, no wonder Jing Ting despises her!"
The old lady looked at Lu Guifang crying expressionlessly, "Xia He said it clearly, that was the gift from Yongning County Lady to Xiao Yunxi, why did you go up and take it all away?"
"The indentures of Xiao Yunxi's maids, servants, and servants are all in the hands of the eldest princess. Even their monthly wages are not paid by the Zhennan Palace. I have no right to punish them. What right do you have?"
"It's your husband who needs help from the Ningguo Mansion, not the Ningguo Mansion that needs help from your Dong family. Why are you acting so high and mighty in front of Xiao Yunxi?"
"You know what your mother-in-law hates, but you still do it anyway. Who else should she punish if not you?"
Lu Guifang was really aggrieved now. Why was even her grandmother speaking for Xiao Yunxi?
Nanny Li was watching from the side and shaking her head, thinking that the young lady was really confused.
"Madam, the princess is here."
Upon hearing the maid's message, the old lady quickly asked Lu Guifang to stand up.
Xiao Yunxi walked in and saw Lu Guifang with tears on her face. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Madam, elder sister."
The old lady's tone was very gentle, "Why are you here at this hour?"
Lu Guifang thought that Xiao Yunxi came to the old lady to apologize to her, and she instantly became arrogant, waiting to step hard on Xiao Yunxi's face a few times.
"It's like this. The maid in the eldest sister's courtyard came to report that the eldest sister didn't like the furnishings in the room and wanted to change them all. The bed should be replaced with the best golden nanmu, the tables and chairs should be replaced with rosewood, and all the utensils should be replaced with white marble."
Every time Xiao Yunxi said something, the old lady's face darkened. She glanced at Lu Guifang coldly, "Your room is decorated according to the rules. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Lu Guifang glared at Xiao Yunxi angrily, "Grandma, I heard that the princess' room is decorated like this, why can't I do it?"
"That's the princess's dowry!" the old lady said calmly, "The Dong family is frugal. If your mother-in-law knew about it, I'm afraid she would punish you again!"
Seeing that the old lady was not helping her at all, Lu Guifang was about to leave coldly.
