The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

With the Night King's permission, Butler Zeng felt at ease to do what Yun Mujiu had asked him to do.

Last night when he went to inform the servants of the Yun Mansion that he would send them back home, the servants started talking to themselves before he even opened his mouth.

Originally, they had secretly escaped when the princess was attacked and did not care about the safety of their master. After returning to the Ye Mansion, they were immediately locked up in a solitary room.

When they saw the old butler of the Ye Mansion coming, he looked so self-righteous and didn't even say hello.

Yun Mujiu had never been taken seriously in the Prime Minister's Mansion. These people usually tried hard to please Ye and Yun Shirou, and despised and mocked Yun Mujiu, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Even after Yun Mujiu married Ye Xiaohan, they still subconsciously felt that Yun Mujiu was as easy to bully as they remembered.

"Finally someone is here, let us out quickly!"

"Where is the princess? Why hasn't the princess come to see us yet?"

"No matter what we say, we are her dowry servants. Doesn't she care about us?"

They chatted with each other, not realizing that Butler Zeng had a frown on his brow, nor did they clearly understand their true identities.

Butler Zeng laughed out of anger. No wonder the princess disliked these unruly servants. If it were him, he would definitely teach them a lesson!

He waved his hand and ordered in a strong voice: "Come here, shut up these stubborn servants and tie them up!"

So the twenty-one servants had their mouths stuffed with cloth, their hands and feet tied, and were thrown into the woodshed and locked up for the whole night.

Early the next morning, housekeeper Zeng led thirty guards, beating gongs and drums, and escorted the Yun mansion's dowry servants back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a grand manner.

As for the two maids Ruchun and Youxia and the matchmaker, they were severely injured after being punished with the stick and could not walk at all. They could only be dragged to walk by the other servants who came with the dowry in the Yun residence in pairs.

In the morning, it is the peak time for people to get up and go out. Shops on the street are opening one after another, and more and more people are going out to eat breakfast, buy groceries, or go out to work.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, creating a very lively scene.

The display of the Night Palace guards immediately attracted a large number of common people to watch.

"What are they doing? Why are there guards escorting so many people?"

"Hey, aren't these the old steward and guards of Prince Ye's Mansion?" The sharp-eyed people immediately recognized the people from the Ye Mansion.

"I remember that the Night King got married yesterday, so why are the guards escorting a group of servants today?"

"Look, look, there are people injured and being dragged!"

……

The onlookers were talking about it, but when they saw that Butler Zeng and the guards had serious faces and had no intention of explaining, they became even more curious.

In this way, Butler Zeng and the guards arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a conspicuous manner, and along the way more and more people were attracted to follow their team, wanting to find out what was going on.

Some even followed the line at a leisurely pace while eating their breakfast. There were also breakfast vendors carrying baskets on their shoulder poles blending into the crowded crowd.

Yun Xiang had just gotten up when he heard the servants' anxious voices: "Master, Master, it's bad! The Ye Mansion has sent people to bring back the dowry servants! There are many onlookers following behind them!"

Yun Xiang was shocked and cursed: "Yun Mujiu, this evil girl, is so arrogant right after getting married!"

Ye Shi, who was standing by, was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. If she had known earlier, she should not have been soft-hearted and killed Yun Mujiu directly! She let this bitch live until now in vain!

Although she was very angry, Ye still restrained herself from showing dissatisfaction in front of Yun Xiang, and persuaded: "Master, please don't be anxious, let's go out and see what the situation is before making a decision."

By the time Prime Minister Yun and Ye washed, dressed and rushed to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a large group of people had already gathered outside the door. They were in high spirits, and their eyes were full of curiosity and a desire to find answers.

When housekeeper Zeng saw the two, his eyes lit up and he stepped forward to salute: "Your servant Zeng Ming, housekeeper of the Ye Mansion, greets the Prime Minister."

Yun Xiang was angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He raised his hand to let Zeng Ming off the hook, and asked in confusion: "Butler Zeng, what's going on? Isn't this Mu Jiu's dowry servant?"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the princess said that these servants who came with the dowry had evil intentions, were arrogant and conceited, and repeatedly committed crimes. Therefore, they were specially sent back to the Yun Mansion to be disciplined."

Prime Minister Yun and Madam Ye turned pale. How could Yun Mujiu be so disrespectful? He slapped the Prime Minister's Mansion in public!

Ye smiled calmly and asked gently, "How could this happen? Is there any misunderstanding?"

Housekeeper Zeng said righteously with a serious face: "Madam Yun, this is the fact. These servants are disobedient and act arrogantly in front of the Night King. They treat their master in a treasonous manner, so the Night King's Mansion will not keep such people."

When housekeeper Zeng moved out of the Night Palace, people couldn't help but think of the King of Hell, Ye Xiaohan, and everyone couldn't help but get nervous. You know, Ye Xiaohan has always been proud and powerful, and he doesn't even bother to slander a bunch of servants! If he doesn't like someone, he can just kill him openly!

Moreover, Ye Xiaohan has always managed his subordinates very well and in a disciplined manner. Now that the Ye Mansion has dismissed these servants, the problem must be with the dowry servants.

One of the common people showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "It turns out that these people are the dowry servants sent by the Yun Mansion! They were driven away in less than a day."

Another citizen pondered, "Haven't Prime Minister Yun and Madam Yun always doted on Miss Yun? How come there were so many problems with the dowry servants who should have been carefully selected?"

Some people whispered, "Ms. Yun is not Ye's biological daughter. After her biological mother passed away, Prime Minister Yun immediately married a new wife."

He married a new wife right after his original wife left. How could such a man truly care about his original wife and her daughter?

Others shouted in surprise: "Could it be that Madam Yun is deliberately creating trouble for Princess Ye?"

"Mr. Yun doesn't love this daughter at all?"

"Mr. Yun hates the daughter born to his first wife!"

In addition to the ordinary people who were constantly discussing whether Prime Minister Yun and Madam Yun were targeting Yun Mujiu because they disliked him, the scholars in the team had deeper speculations.

"I guess the reason why the Ye Mansion dismissed these servants is definitely not just because of their bad attitude and superficial reasons such as insubordination. Prime Minister Yun and King Ye don't get along well, so maybe he wants to use his daughter's marriage to secretly plant spies in the Ye Mansion."

"Oh my god! You are awesome, brother! You are right. If the servant is not good, you can just send him away. Why send him back to Yun Mansion? Is it not easy to deal with these spies openly?"

"Could this matter be related to the palace?"

"Wow, shut up! Be careful what you say!"

The discussion among the onlookers became more and more heated...

Only then did the people gradually understand that it was the Yun Mansion that failed to discipline the servants properly and deliberately sent them to Princess Ye's house to cause trouble and stir up incidents with ulterior motives.

The servants acted like this in the Night Palace, either because they had bad intentions or someone deliberately asked them to do so. But no matter what, they were just servants, it was impossible for them to be so bold as to commit crimes against their superiors.

Based on what Butler Zeng said and the style of the Night Palace, the ordinary onlookers immediately knew where the problem lay: the Yun Palace had ulterior motives!

The discussion became more and more intense. Initially, people were just whispering, but later they even started discussing loudly.

When Yun Xiang heard that Butler Zeng had moved out of the Night Palace, his mind started working quickly, thinking of countermeasures. As more and more people's voices came out, he also heard a few comments from time to time.

Yun Xiang's face turned pale and he was about to step forward to continue explaining.
