Medical Princess

Chapter 1188 Showing Weakness Secretly in Chaos

A Young Madam at the door of the teahouse glared at Yujie and said angrily, “Catch her.”

The two old maids following her took two steps forward, held Yujie’s hands on each side, and tried to hold her down. Yujie struggled desperately and said, “This is the lantern that I took a fancy to first. Not only are you meddling in my business, but you also try to snatch the lantern. This belongs to our master. How dare you snatch it!”

Yujie pulled the two old maids so hard that one of them could not stand steadily. She took a few more steps forward and bumped into her master.

The Young Madam was knocked down and almost fell, looking embarrassed. She was so angry that her face turned livid. “Beat her! Beat her hard!”

She had never been so aggrieved as to be embarrassed by a servant girl.

“Miss… we are in the capital city…” The wet nurse who followed her hurried forward to persuade her when she saw that the situation was not good. They were in the capital city and all the people living here were high-ranking officials or dignitaries. Since the Young Madam and her servants didn’t know who the inconspicuous servant girl and the master behind her were, and they had first arrived in the capital city, it was better not to offend the other party.

“What are you afraid of? My cousin will back me up. I really don’t believe that someone can go against my will,” the Young Madam said loudly. She had a strong backer. Even if she had just arrived in the capital, so what? Why should she be afraid of others?

The passers-by shook their heads secretly when they saw this. They thought that this Young Madam had been taught to be too arrogant.

“Our master is on the side. How dare you beat me!” Yujie said loudly while pulling another old maid forward. She had always been strong, and even two old maids could not hold her, let alone an old maid.

The Young Madam was furious. She pointed at Yujie with her trembling fingers and said, “Beat her! Beat her hard! I’ll take responsibility if she dies.”

She had encountered such a thing as soon as she arrived in the capital. She couldn’t bear it. She had been listening to the wet nurse, but now she couldn’t hold back anymore.

She had always been spoiled and had never been upset like this before.

Hearing her words, four more servant girls came forward to hold Yujie’s hands and arms and bound her tightly.

When the people around saw that there was a show going on, many of them stopped to watch it. For a time, even the road was blocked.

Infanta Yuan’an’s carriage was blocked here. It could neither advance nor retreat.

In the carriage, Infanta Yuan’an couldn’t see the situation outside, so she sent a servant girl to get off the carriage and see what was going on. In the past, Infanta Yuan’an would have sent someone to drive the passers-by away, but now she knew that she had to keep a low profile. At this time, Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion was already in the teeth of the storm, so she had to be more careful in dealing with things.

The servant girl got out of the carriage, squeezed into the crowd, and saw the scene in front of her.

She knew Princess Chen’s principal maids. It turned out to be the servant girl named Yujie, who served Princess Chen. She stopped and asked the person next to her politely, “What happened?”

“They’re fighting over a lantern. It seems that the master of this servant girl took a fancy to it. Later, that Young Madam also took a fancy to it and wanted to snatch it. The servant girl tore off the lantern and broke it. And now they’re quarreling!” A middle-aged woman beside her pointed to the lantern on the ground when she heard the question.

It was unknown who stepped on the lantern several times during the quarrel, but it had long since broken apart.

The eaves that had been carefully made were also broken, and the exquisite embroidery had been stepped on a few times. The shape of the whole lantern was almost flattened. It was just like a piece of trash.

Seeing that the servant girl serving Princess Chen was quarreling with others while fighting over some trash and was at a disadvantage, Infanta Yuan’an’s servant girl curled her lips disapprovingly. “Princess Chen is really useless. Not only is she useless, but her servant girls are also useless. How could this one allow someone to snatch the lantern and make a mess of herself?

“If My Lady takes a fancy to something, I’ll slap whoever tries to snatch it and see who will dare to fight with me.

“Whose servant girls in the capital would be more powerful than a Princess?”

Yujie was still struggling desperately. Although there were many people holding her, no one could do anything to her. Instead, she was dragged around.

“Miss, please stop!” When they were arguing, a servant girl squeezed in from outside the crowd. It was Qing’er. She took a few steps forward, pushed away a few servant girls who were pulling Yujie hard, stood aside, and said to the arrogant Young Madam in the middle, “This is the capital city. Miss, please keep an eye on your servants.”

There were so many people around her, but they couldn’t even make a servant girl submit. The Young Madam among them was very annoyed. “When I go back, I must beat some of them up. They’re just useless and powerless.”

“So what if it’s the capital city? How could she be so domineering that she dares to wreck the lantern I like?” the Young Madam said angrily and annoyedly. She had really just arrived in the capital city. Hearing that Qing’er seemed to look down on her, she became even angrier.

“Our master saw the lantern, and she asked Yujie to come and get it. Miss, I’m wondering why you took a fancy to it and intended to snatch it from us,” Qing’er said seriously. She reached out to point at the teahouse owner, who was hiding aside, and said, “He will tell you if what I said is true.”

When the servant girls fought here, the owner had been so scared that he hid aside for fear of getting involved. At this time, being pointed out by Qing’er, he had to smile apologetically and bow to the Young Madam in the middle. “Miss, I just said that the lantern was picked by someone else, and you came a little late. If you really like it, please allow us to make another pair of lanterns and send them to your mansion as an apology to you!”

He thought that he couldn’t afford to offend this Young Madam no matter what, so he intended to make concessions.

Then, he bowed to Yujie and Qing’er and said, “Please leave your address as well. We’ll also send a pair of lanterns to your master to apologize!”

Although Yujie and Qing’er were servant girls, they were dressed more gorgeously than ordinary Misses. At first glance, one could tell that they were not from ordinary mansions. The owner had been in the capital city for so many years and had a sharp eye, so he naturally did not dare to offend the master whom these two women worked for.

“Do business with a smile and I’ll make a pile!”

“Miss, you’ve just arrived in the capital. If you cause trouble, it will inevitably make Madam angry. You’ve come to the capital…” The wet nurse whispered in her master’s ear and reminded her. The current situation showed that her master was in the wrong. The crowd was talking about it, and the wet nurse heard it clearly.

“Nursemaid, I can’t tolerate these two cheap girls bullying me like this. I’m going to…” The young lady still didn’t want to give in and gritted her teeth.

The wet nurse immediately interrupted her, pulled her sleeve, and whispered in her ear, “Miss, if you really want to marry into the Prince’s Mansion, you can’t make trouble. This is the capital, and we don’t know who is behind them. If you offend them, maybe Madam and you will fail.”

Her voice was very low, and only the Young Madam could hear it clearly. She knew that what the wet nurse said was true. At this time, she couldn’t make trouble. When everything was settled, there would be plenty of opportunities for her to take revenge in the future.

The Young Madam said angrily, “I’ll ask someone to keep an eye on them and see which mansion they come from. Later… I’ll definitely take revenge.”

She couldn’t bear it, but now it was indeed not a good time to cause trouble. When her affairs were settled in the future, she would definitely seek revenge.

“Bitch servant girls, I’ll be magnanimous today and let you off. Get out of here now!” the Young Madam said loudly.

Yujie was so angry that she seemed to want to go forward and argue, but she was stopped by Qing’er. The two of them glared at the Young Madam angrily and turned to leave.

“Where did this Miss come from? She is too arrogant and insolent. I don’t believe that she really dares to do anything to us!” Yujie said angrily as she walked.

“Master is in a bad mood. She has just been plotted against, so she’s not in the mood to argue with such an arrogant person. We have to find out what happened before. This is not a big deal,” Qing’er said in a low voice.

What she said made Yujie calm down. She seemed to have thought of something. Although her face was still gloomy, her words were calm. “His Highness said that he would help Master find out the truth and ask her not to be sad. He specially asked her to go out to relax. Such a thing happened. She must be upset again later. If she keeps being sad, it will hurt her body.”

“We’ll appease Master well. We can’t have her upset again. That matter has nothing to do with her. Anyway, we can’t do anything to those three people. Just let His Highness investigate them…”

As they walked away, Infanta Yuan’an’s servant girl watched them leave with a complicated look in her eyes and frowned. “His Highness they mentioned must be Prince Chen and their master is naturally Princess Chen.”

After the big show, the onlookers left, and the servant girl left as well. She climbed onto Infanta Yuan’an’s carriage and reported the whole thing to her.

After hearing it, Infanta Yuan’an asked the servant girl to repeat the matter again. When she finished, Infanta Yuan’an said with a sarcastic look, “Shao Wanru is really useless. She asks Prince Chen to investigate everything. Even if Prince Chen is in good health now, how many people can he have?”

“Although the Emperor said that Prince Chen could inherit the throne and become the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, how many subordinates can Prince Chen, who had been sick for so many years, use? And he even wants to investigate us?”

“Of course, Princess Chen can’t be compared with you. She just relies on Prince Chen. She said that Prince Chen wanted to investigate you, Princess Yuyan, and Miss Zhang. Princess Chen was in a bad mood, so she found such lanterns to enjoy. You’re so much better than her!” The servant girl flattered Infanta Yuan’an.

Although she was flattering Infanta Yuan’an, she was telling the truth. Infanta Yuan’an would try to take revenge as soon as she was bullied. Princess Chen was too weak.

Infanta Yuan’an didn’t answer. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind and she was immediately sure that what had happened in the Princess’s Mansion must have been done by Zhang Qilan or Prime Minister Zhang. Shao Wanru was so weak that she had neither manpower nor ability. Although she looked powerful, she was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. It was impossible for her to get any business done.

Shao Wanru didn’t have any chances, support, or the proper personality to make any achievements.

“Zhang Qilan…” Infanta Yuan’an gritted her teeth. Since she was sure that it was Zhang Qilan, she would surely be rude. “Prince Chen didn’t find anything, but it doesn’t mean that I can’t find out the truth. I’ve been hurt like this, but Zhang Qilan remains unscathed. How could I let her get what she wants…”
