Rebirth: The Fourth Lady Wants to Lie Down

Song Gege's figure gradually walked away. Nanny Wang and Nanny Su looked solemn. They knew the importance of this matter. They looked at each other, walked towards Yi Ya together, and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Master, it was our negligence. If Princess Song hadn't discovered it in time, Prince Honghui might have suffered a great disaster." Nanny Wang lowered her head, her voice filled with deep self-blame.

Nanny Su followed suit and said, "Master, please punish us. We are willing to bear all the consequences."

Yi Ya looked at them, and her heart ached. She knew that these two maids usually treated Hong Hui as their own child, and they did their best. This time, their negligence might really be an accident. But in the palace, any negligence could bring unpredictable consequences.

"Madame Wang, Madame Su, I know you take good care of Honghui, but this incident is too serious. If Princess Song hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would be disastrous. I have to punish him." Yi Ya's voice was firm. She knew that as a mother, she had to set a strict example for Honghui.

The two looked at each other and understood Yi Ya's difficulties. They said in unison: "Master, please punish us. We are willing to accept any punishment."

So Yi Ya made a decision: "From today on, three months' monthly salary will be deducted from you, and each of you will be punished with ten strokes of the cane. Do you have any objections?"

The two did not hesitate for a moment. They knew that Yi Ya had been given a lenient punishment, so they immediately kowtowed and accepted the punishment: "Thank you, Master, for your mercy. We have no objection."

After everyone left, Yi Ya was filled with anger. She thought of Li Gege, the venomous snake behind the scenes. Although she knew that Yinzhen might not be ruthless to Li Gege because of the relationship between the eldest princess and the second prince, Yi Ya would not let her go.

"Gege Li, if you dare to touch my Honghui, I will make you pay the price." Yi Ya's voice was full of determination and coldness. She knew that for Honghui, she had to become stronger and more cruel.

As night fell, the lights in the palace flickered in the night. Yi Ya stood alone in front of the window, looking at the deep night sky, with a determined light in her eyes. She knew that this battle in the deep palace had just begun. And she would fight for her Honghui with all her might.

……

The next day, the autumn wind was getting colder, and Yi Ya stood in front of the window, her eyes firm and cold. Ever since she learned that Li Gege had attacked Honghui, she had been unable to calm down her anger.

She turned to Bai Shu behind her and said, "Bai Shu, go tell Li Gege that since she has to take care of both the Second Prince and the First Princess, she will no longer be required to interfere in the affairs of the mansion in the future."

Bai Zhu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then quickly responded: "Yes, Fu Jin. I will pass this message to Li Gege without missing a word."

Bai Shu's hatred for Li Gege was not without reason. Ever since she learned that Li Gege had attacked her young prince, her anger was like a raging fire, but due to her status and the trouble it might bring to Yi Ya, she could only bury her anger deep in her heart.

At this moment, Yi Ya's voice sounded again: "Remember, Bai Shu, I don't want any omissions or misunderstandings."

Bai Shu nodded, left the room immediately, and went to Li Gege's yard to pass on the message. She knew that this message was not just a simple notification, but also a warning from Yi Ya to Li Gege.

After Bai Zhu left, Yi Ya called Yuan Bao to her side again. Her voice was calm and decisive: "Yuan Bao, go find a few people and ask them to keep an eye on Li Gege's yard. If there is any disturbance, report it immediately."

After hearing this, Yuanbao nodded without any hesitation and agreed: "Yes, Madam. I will arrange it right away."

Yi Ya nodded, signaling him to leave. Then, she turned back to the table and began to write a letter. Her handwriting was neat and powerful, and every word revealed her determination and firmness.

After writing the letter, she handed it to Yuan Bao who had just returned, and instructed: "Send this letter to Ulanala Mansion immediately and hand it to the owner of the mansion personally."

Yuanbao took the letter, looked at Yi Ya deeply, and then turned and left. He knew that this mission was equally important, and it was related to Yi Ya's status and power in the court.

As Yuanbao left, Yiya stood in front of the window, looking into the distance. She knew that the undercurrent in the palace had just begun, and she would be the key figure in this undercurrent.

……

In the spacious study room of Ulanala Mansion, Fei Yanggu sat at the desk with a frown on his face. Today, he received a letter from his daughter Yi Ya, which surprised him. His daughter has always been well-behaved and sensible, and rarely writes to him on her own initiative, let alone asks him for help.

"Did something big happen?" Fei Yanggu said to himself as he opened the envelope and took out the letter.

His eyes quickly scanned the words in the letter, and his face gradually became gloomy. In the letter, Yi Ya described in detail how Li Gege placed clothes infected with smallpox virus in Honghui's mansion. Honghui, the delicate and beautiful child, was his beloved and the pride of Ulanala Mansion.

"How dare this Princess Li be so bold and presumptuous!" Fei Yanggu slammed the table angrily, and the rage in his chest seemed to be bursting out.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the study. Fei Yanggu's personal servant came in to report that the two gentlemen Fu Chan and Fu Cun had arrived.

Fu Chan and Fu Cun were Fei Yanggu's sons. After they entered the study, they first bowed to Fei Yanggu, and then asked in unison: "Father, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Fei Yanggu took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger. He handed the letter to the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Read it for yourselves."

Fu Chan and Fu Cun took the letter and read it quickly. Their faces became more and more gloomy as they read more, especially Fu Chan, who clenched his fists as if he was about to explode at any time.

"This Li Gege is simply a vicious woman!" Fu Chan cursed angrily, "I will go tell the Fourth Master right now and ask him to seek justice for Honghui!"

Fei Yanggu raised his hand to stop Fu Chan's impulsive behavior. He said in a deep voice: "If Yi Ya wanted to tell the Fourth Master about this, she would not have written to us. We must act with caution."

Hearing this, Fu Cun frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Then what should we do?"

Fei Yanggu's eyes were sharp as torches, and he said slowly: "In the harem, in addition to one's own favor, family background is also a very important factor. Since we can't take action against Li Gege directly, let's start with her family."

He paused and turned his gaze to Fu Cun: "You are now highly valued by the emperor, so you should not get involved in this matter. You should concentrate on serving the emperor and win more favor from him."

Then, he turned to Fu Chan and said, "Go and check the Li family's background to see if they have done anything wrong. If so, make them pay a heavy price!"

After hearing this, Fu Chan and Fu Cun responded in unison: "Yes, father! We will definitely live up to your expectations!"

The atmosphere in the study suddenly became solemn. A secret fight against the Li family was about to begin...
