Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

"You two come in." Chang Ru shouted immediately.

The two people outside were startled at the same time, and hurried into the house and knelt in front of Chang Ru.

These two were maids that Chang Ru brought from Yancheng and grew up with her.

One is her personal maid, and is now a first-class maid in the palace. The other one is responsible for taking care of her daily life, and is now a second-class maid.

The one who was crying outside just now was the second-class palace maid named Yingtao.

Chang Ru looked at Ying Tao and found that her cheeks were red and seemed to be swollen.

"What's with the wound on your face?"

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Shu who had me beaten. I was just passing by. Concubine Shu insisted that I scared her thrush and said that the thrush was a gift from the Emperor, so she had me punished." Ying Tao explained the reason for the incident.

"You just said outside that the nanny was also humiliated by her. What happened?" Chang Ru asked again.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that the Concubine Shu just doesn't like the people in your palace! When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. The Concubine Shu is beating you on purpose to show you." After Ying Tao finished speaking, she started crying again.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not necessary. It's nothing for us servants to suffer a little injustice. You must not hold it against Concubine Shu because of these things. You still have to take good care of your pregnancy." The first-class palace maid hurriedly advised.

"If she didn't take the initiative to provoke me, I could ignore her. But, she has provoked me like this. If I don't teach her a lesson, she will think I'm afraid of her, and your situation will be even more difficult in the future."

"Yingtao, do you still remember the eunuch who fed the cats in the palace? Ask him to bring the cats he raised to see me."

"Yes." Yingtao immediately retreated.

In the royal garden.

Wei Yan was teasing the thrush in the cage, but there was no smile on his face.

"Why is it so boring to be in the palace? All I do is look forward to the emperor coming back from court all day long. Besides, the emperor is busy with official duties and can't spare much time to accompany me, and I can't leave the palace at will." She couldn't help but complain.

At first, I thought the sound of the thrush was pleasant and lively.

After raising it for a few days, I found it a bit noisy.

"Take these birds away. I don't want to hear them singing anymore."

"Yes." The maid picked up the birdcage and turned to leave.

Suddenly, several wild cats jumped out from nowhere and pounced on the cage in the hands of the palace maid.

"Ah!" The palace maid screamed in fright and the cage in her hand fell to the ground.

The wild cats pounced on the cage in a group, using their sharp claws to grab the thrush inside through the gaps in the cage. The scene looked extremely tragic.

“What’s going on!” Wei Yan ran over and saw her thrush being ravaged by wild cats. She immediately shouted, “Quick, chase these wild cats away! Don’t hurt my thrush!”

However, these wild cats are so ferocious that their hunting instincts have been aroused. Even if someone tries to stop them, they may not be able to be driven away.

The cage containing the thrush was big enough that the wild cat could not reach it even if it put all its claws in. The thrush flapped its wings desperately inside, and many of its feathers fell off.

This situation could not last long because several wild cats were fighting for the cage and pushing it back and forth.

Wei Yan saw that no one dared to step forward, so he rushed over and kicked a wild cat away. Unexpectedly, the next moment, a pain came from his arm.

A wild cat actually scratched her sleeve, and its sharp claws even scratched her skin.

"Empress, be careful! Don't take that cage." The palace maids and eunuchs suddenly panicked.

Wei Yan shook off the wild cat and picked up the cage.

A wild cat was lying on the cage, hooking the thrush with one claw and pressing it tightly against the cage.

Wei Yan watched with her own eyes as the thrush died in front of her.

The wild cat refused to let go and just lay on the cage holding its prey.

The palace maid quickly took the cage from Wei Yan's hands, threw it out with force, and then quickly checked Wei Yan's wound.

Several eunuchs also came forward and tried to scare and drive away the wild cats.

"What were you doing when I asked you to drive away those wild cats? Could it be that these wild cats could bite you to death? It's all because of you that my thrush was killed by wild cats!" Wei Yan shouted at these people.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." These people immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the wild cats in the palace are very ferocious. Once, a young eunuch had one of his fingers bitten off." An eunuch whispered.

"Is losing a finger more important, or losing a head?" Wei Yan asked back in a cold voice.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." The eunuch immediately lowered his head.

"What happened? Why is my sister so angry?" Chang Ru walked over from the opposite direction with a slight smile on her face.

Wei Yan had been in the palace for a few days and had only met Chang Ru once. This was only their second meeting.

"It's okay. I'm just teaching my servants a lesson. It has nothing to do with you." Wei Yan replied directly.

To be honest, Chang Ru's identity is indeed embarrassing.

It was true that she was the Fourth Prince's consort, but after the Fourth Prince ascended the throne, he did not confer any title to her. She did not even have an official title of consort.

Wei Yan is different, he has a formal title.

Therefore, when she saw Chang Ru, she did not bow, nor did she feel that her status was lower than Chang Ru.

"Sister, you are joking. I was ordered by the Grand Empress Dowager to temporarily take charge of the Phoenix Seal. The affairs of the palace really belong to me. I see that you have just entered the palace and your prestige has not yet been established. These people will inevitably not take you seriously. Let me teach them a lesson on your behalf, so as to establish your prestige."

"No thanks!" Wei Yan immediately refused.

But, it's no use.

Chang Ru waved her hand, and a group of inner court guards immediately appeared behind her and surrounded Wei Yan's men.

"What do you want to do! Chang Ru, I'm telling you, if you dare to touch my people, I..."

"Hit." Chang Ru interrupted Wei Yan.

The people who controlled him were the inner court guards, and the people who beat him were from Chang Ru's palace.

Whether it was the maids or the eunuchs who were in charge of rough work, all of them participated.

Wei Yan had never seen such a scene before, but it only took her a moment to realize what was happening.

Chang Ru is taking revenge on her!

Because she touched someone in Chang Ru Palace!

Great, I'm going to give her a warning so soon.

"Chang Ru, you have already lost the emperor's favor. In the eyes of the common people, you are just a divorced woman. How dare you be so arrogant? I must report you to the emperor and see how you end up!"

Chang Ru smiled, suddenly looked in one direction, and knelt down in that direction, "Greetings, Your Majesty. I wonder if what my sister just said about a divorced woman is true? Is the emperor planning to divorce me?"

Wei Yan quickly turned around and saw Xiao Wenxuan's figure, his eyes suddenly turned red with grievance.

"Your Majesty! She bullied me!"
