Chapter 1189 The Sickly Child Who Was Schemed Against 3
"Granny Liu, here you go." Immediately, a maid brought a rattan cane and handed it to Granny Liu.
"Granny Liu, don't go too far," Liu Meier said, her face turning black with anger as she looked at the rattan cane in Granny Liu's hand. She was also afraid. "The Princess Consort is only angry with me, she doesn't really hate me."
"You should know that my mother was the Crown Prince's wet nurse, and the Crown Prince treated me very well..."
"Smack!" Granny Liu struck Liu Meier hard with the rattan cane in her hand. "You little slut, you're always daydreaming in broad daylight. With what you've done, the Princess Consort will never let you serve her again."
"Ha! You're using your mother to threaten me. What wet nurse? A wet nurse is just a servant who serves the master. Just because the master drank a few mouthfuls of breast milk from the wet nurse when he was a child, does that mean the wet nurse is no longer a servant, but superior and can sit on equal footing with the master?"
"Slap!" As she spoke, Granny Liu slapped Liu Meier hard again. "What were you going to say just now? Did you want to say that just because the Princess Consort drank a few mouthfuls of your mother's breast milk, you are extraordinary in the Princess Consort's eyes, not a servant who serves others, but treated as a sister by the Princess Consort?"
"Pah! You ignorant little slut, no wonder you were demoted to a lowly maid by the Crown Princess. If I don't teach you a lesson today and make you realize your place, you little slut, you'll turn the world upside down."
"Slap! Slap!" Liu Mama then wielded the rattan cane with great force, striking Liu Meier until she screamed in agony.
"Stop!" When Song Zhende entered the courtyard, he saw Liu Meier being beaten and screaming in agony, her expression contorted with rage and her eyes wide with rage.
"You damned old hag, who gave you the guts to use torture in Prince Cheng's mansion?" Song Zhende stepped forward and kicked Granny Liu to the ground.
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Granny Liu quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. "I was just disciplining this wretched maid. I don't know why Your Highness is so angry. You should know that this wretched maid has broken the peony flowers that you carefully cultivated for the Princess Consort."
"Shouldn't a servant be punished for doing something wrong? Judging from what the young master just said, does it mean that servants in the Prince Cheng's mansion don't have to be punished for doing something wrong? If that's the case, then this servant will never dare to do it again."
"you……"
"What is my husband doing?" Jiang Chunxi came out of the house. "You're getting so angry at the servants I brought from my family home. Could it be that you're using this as an excuse to vent your dissatisfaction with me?"
"Your Highness, you must do justice for this old servant!" Granny Liu crawled to Jiang Chunxi, tears streaming down her face, and said, "That maid Mei'er broke the peony flowers that the young master had carefully cultivated for you. I was just disciplining her according to the rules, but I didn't expect to anger the young master."
"This servant just doesn't understand. Shouldn't a servant be punished for doing something wrong? Why is the Prince Cheng's mansion so different? Why can't a servant be punished for doing something wrong? Does this mean that in the Prince Cheng's mansion, a servant who does something wrong can not only not be punished, but should be rewarded instead?"
"You vile servant girl, how dare you spout such nonsense!" Song Zhende roared. "Guards! Drag this vile servant girl out and beat her to death!"
"Sigh!" Jiang Chunxi sighed softly, "It seems that the Prince Cheng's mansion cannot accept a new bride like me! Since that's the case..."
“Caiyu, you all quickly order people to pack up my dowry. We’ll move to the estate where my dowry is located right now,” Jiang Chunxi then looked at Song Zhende. “Your Highness, you don’t need to worry about the servants I brought from my family. Whether I beat or kill my own servants is my own decision. I really don’t need you to worry about that.”
Song Zhende calmed down by now, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead. He quickly walked up to Jiang Chunxi and said, "Chunxi, it's my fault. I was just confused by anger for a moment, that's not it..."
“Your Highness, there’s no need to say any more,” Jiang Chunxi interrupted Song Zhende. “You’re wrong about that. I’m really tired of hearing it.”
"Chunxi," Song Zhende hurriedly grabbed Jiang Chunxi's hand, "It's all my fault, please don't be angry, otherwise what will happen if you get sick from being angry?"
"Besides, isn't my anger precisely because I'm worried you've been misled by this wicked servant?" Song Zhende's gaze turned cold as he looked at Granny Liu. "This lowly maid, relying on her limited power, dares to beat and scold even your head maid. Such a thing..."
“Young Master,” Caiyi interrupted Song Zhende, “Mei’er is no longer a head maid; she’s just a lowly maid now. If she does something wrong, isn’t it only right that Granny Liu punishes her? Just because Mei’er used to be a head maid doesn’t mean that Granny Liu, the head maid, can’t deal with her mistakes.”
"What?" Song Zhende looked surprised, and she wasn't faking it. "Mei'er has become a lowly maid? Why is that...?"
"For what reason?" Caiyu sneered. "Your Highness, I really don't know what to say. Don't you know about Mei'er's overstepping behavior in the Princess's courtyard? A maid like her who has no sense of hierarchy, if it weren't for the fact that she has served the Princess since she was a child, she should have been sold off directly. How could we keep her as a lowly maid?"
“Your Highness, it is all my fault,” Liu Mei’er cried, kneeling on the ground. “I was unrepentant and did not take the Princess’s teachings to heart, which angered her. It is already a great favor that the Princess has done for me to keep me as a lowly maid.”
"Therefore, I beg Your Highness and Your Highness's wife not to have any rift because of me. If your relationship with Your Highness and Your Highness's wife changes because of me, then I deserve to die."
"It's all your fault, you wretched servant!" Song Zhende cursed at Liu Meier, his heart filled with immense grief. Yet, all he could do was harden his heart and curse his beloved. "If the Crown Princess refuses to forgive me, then I will personally kill you, you wretched servant, today."
"Chunxi," Song Zhende hurriedly looked at Jiang Chunxi with a guilty expression, "It's all my fault, please don't hold it against me, and don't say anything about moving to the estate anymore. You're practically trying to tear my heart apart!"
"However, it is indeed my fault, but I was just worried and confused. After all, your health depends on the people who serve you diligently. I didn't know that Mei'er had been demoted to a lowly maid, so when I saw Granny Liu whipping Mei'er, that's why..."
