Chapter 308 Concubine of Prince Chen's Mansion 6
Chapter 308 Concubine of Prince Chen's Mansion 6
When Nanny Ruan arrived at Jiang Chunxi's courtyard, Prince Chen and Jiang Chunxi had already finished their lunch.
"Your Highness, Nanny Ruan is outside asking to see you." Eunuch Zhao walked in from outside and reported:
"Madame Ruan," Jiang Chunxi looked puzzled at first, and then seemed to remember who this person was. "Your Highness, Madame Ruan must be Concubine Lan's mother, right? She came to me to find you, and I think she came to complain on behalf of her daughter."
Prince Chen's face turned ugly: "How dare she complain? It was Concubine Lan who provoked you first, and you had no choice but to beat Concubine Lan, so how dare Nanny Ruan come to you to complain."
While speaking, Prince Chen also thought of the fact that Nanny Ruan was in charge of the household affairs in the mansion.
This won't do. What if Nanny Ruan uses her power to help her daughter harm Chunxi?
"Go and ask Nanny Ruan to come in." Prince Chen said to Eunuch Zhao:
"Yes." Eunuch Zhao quickly retreated, sighing in his heart that things were really going to change in this mansion. Who could have thought that Concubine Lan, who had always been favored by the prince, would fall out of favor so easily?
"Your servant pays her respects to His Majesty." As soon as Nanny Ruan came in, she saluted Prince Chen. As for Jiang Chunxi, who was sitting next to Prince Chen, she ignored her.
"How dare you," Prince Chen said angrily, "Madame Ruan seems to have forgotten her status. She actually dared to ignore Master Jiang in front of me."
In Prince Chen's heart, Jiang Chunxi was not a concubine of lowly status, but his lover for several lifetimes, so naturally he elevated Jiang Chunxi's status by addressing her.
Just like how he doted on Lan Comeau Hua before, he asked his subordinates to call Lan Comeau Hua "Master Lan".
Nanny Ruan was startled, and then she knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I was just too anxious, so I forgot to pay my respects to Concubine Jiang."
Nanny Ruan said this deliberately because she was afraid that it would make the prince even angrier, but she still wanted to test the prince. After all, she really didn't want to believe that the prince had really changed his mind, and changed his mind so quickly.
"Someone come! Slap me in the face." Prince Chen's face became even darker.
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao immediately stepped forward and slapped Nanny Ruan a few times.
"Ah!"
Nanny Ruan screamed in pain, and her heart sank into an icy cave.
It’s over, the prince has really changed his mind, and my daughter is really going to fall out of favor.
As for saying that favoring others is the prince's conspiracy, this is simply a joke. If it was just a conspiracy, the prince would never let anyone beat her.
So the only explanation is that the prince's favor for Concubine Jiang is not a conspiracy at all, but he really treats Concubine Jiang as the apple of his eye and will not tolerate anyone showing the slightest disrespect to Concubine Jiang, not even her, the wet nurse, is no exception.
"That's enough," Prince Chen asked Eunuch Zhao to stop, "Madame Ruan, since you are an old servant of mine, I will not refrain from harsh punishment. Now go pack up your things and leave the house!"
Prince Chen felt that he had been generous enough to Nanny Ruan. After all, he did not confiscate Nanny Ruan's property and allowed her to take her things away.
So even if Nanny Ruan left the house, she could still live a rich life. After all, Nanny Ruan had been in charge of the household finances for many years, and it would be impossible to say that she had not embezzled money.
"My Lord, you grew up drinking my milk!" Nanny Ruan cried, "I fed you mouthful by mouthful of milk from my blood. So how could my Lord be so cruel to me? You drove me out of the palace. You wanted to kill me!"
Jiang Chunxi looked puzzled and said, "Your Highness, why do I find what Nanny Ruan said so confusing? As a wet nurse, she gets paid monthly, and Your Highness doesn't drink her milk for nothing. If all wet nurses in the world were like Nanny Ruan, would you, as a master, have to worship all wet nurses?"
"Master Jiang," Nanny Ruan looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily, "I know you are jealous of the relationship between my daughter and the prince, but you can't just be so eager to kill us mother and daughter as soon as you gain favor!"
"First, he beat my daughter, and now she is so angry that she is lying on the bed and unable to get up. Now he is inciting the prince to get rid of me so that he can achieve his goal of hitting my daughter."
"Master Jiang, you have such a vicious mind!"
"Your Highness," Nanny Ruan then looked at Prince Chen, "Have you forgotten the love between you and Kou Hua, and the oath you made to Kou Hua? By doing this, aren't you afraid of completely hurting Kou Hua's heart, making her feel hopeless and want to die? Are you afraid of watching Kou Hua commit suicide and then regretting it?"
All Nanny Ruan can do now is bet that her daughter still has a place in the prince's heart, otherwise both she and her daughter will be finished.
"Drag this unruly slave out for me, give her twenty lashes with the cane, and then throw her out of Prince Chen's mansion." Prince Chen was really angry this time.
Since Nanny Ruan refused to accept the toast, there was no need for Prince Chen to be soft-hearted towards her.
Eunuch Zhao immediately sent someone in to drag Nanny Ruan out, and also had someone cover Nanny Ruan's mouth to prevent her from saying anything outrageous and angering the prince.
Watching Nanny Ruan being dragged out, Jiang Chunxi sneered in her heart.
Look, this is what a man is like. Once he changes his mind, he will immediately turn his back on you.
"This really makes me angry." Prince Chen still looked very angry.
"Your Highness, please calm down quickly," Jiang Chunxi said in a teasing tone as she smoothed Prince Chen's chest, "Otherwise, if you get sick from being angry, I will be heartbroken, won't I? Your Highness, are you willing to let me suffer so much?"
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry." After hearing what Jiang Chunxi said, Prince Chen no longer cared about being angry.
"Isn't that right?" Jiang Chunxi leaned against Prince Chen delicately, "My Lord, if Concubine Lan knew that you punished Madam Ruan and wanted to drive Madam Ruan out of the house, would Concubine Lan also come here to make trouble?"
"Really? I originally wanted to play the piano for His Majesty. But now it seems that I can't play the piano for His Majesty today."
Prince Chen's expression turned ugly again, but he felt a little complicated.
If possible, Prince Chen would just want to ruthlessly deal with Lan Kouhua, so that he wouldn't have to worry about Lan Kouhua using any conspiracy or tricks.
But isn't this because of the many years of friendship we have built up between us?
Even though he has now seen through his own heart and knows that his previous liking for Lan Kouhua was not true love at all, he still cannot completely let go of the affection he had for them over the years, and cannot bear to drive Lan Kouhua out of the house.
Lan Kouhua soon got the news that Nanny Ruan was beaten with a stick, which made her rush to Jiang Chunxi's yard as quickly as possible.
But she was late after all. By the time she arrived, Nanny Ruan had already finished beating the man with the twenty boards.
