That day, news spread throughout the War Prince’s Mansion that the steward had been expelled from the War Prince’s Mansion, stripped of all his possessions for embezzling public funds by War Prince.
Madam Wang was furious upon hearing this, as the steward was her distant relative. She had finally managed to get him into the mansion recently, thinking he would be helpful in future life concerns within the War Prince’s Mansion.
After all, the steward held considerable power, overseeing all aspects of life, and Madam Wang herself had little money, so so assistance in this domain was welco.
No one expected Xuexue’s fall from bed would cut off his escape route.
"That little cheap person is too vile." Madam Wang slamd the table angrily.
The sudden noise startled Xiao Cui.
"Madam, what happened?"
Xiao Cui’s sudden outburst imdiately enraged the already furious Madam Wang, who turned her head, her eyes glaring like daggers: "What did you call ? Say it again."
Only then did Xiao Cui realize she had breached Madam Wang’s cardinal rule. Since receiving the Imperial Edict for a marital gift, she was overjoyed and imdiately ordered all the servants to change their address for her to Princess Consort. Anyone who got it wrong would be beaten.
Madam Wang’s fierce expression,
frightened Xiao Cui into kneeling with a thud, fervently kowtowing: "Princess Consort, spare ! The maid misspoke, please don’t stoop to my level."
"A sharp-tongued little maid, if this Princess Consort doesn’t forgive you, then I must be petty, right?"
"The maid dares not, the maid dares not." Xiao Cui trembled with fear.
Madam Wang raised her arm, intending to vent her anger by hitting her.
Xiao Cui closed her eyes in fear, prepared to silently endure the slap.
After waiting for a while, the expected pain did not arrive.
She quietly opened her eyes and saw the Princess Consort looking at her darkly.
Terrified, she quickly lowered her head: "Princess Consort, the maid will never dare again. Considering the maid’s diligent service, please forgive her this ti."
Madam Wang elegantly played with her fingers, her tone floating: "If you want this Princess Consort to forgive you without punishnt, that’s possible, but you must agree to do one thing for this Princess Consort."
The Princess Consort is not one to act without benefit. Her attitude suddenly changed, and Xiao Cui sensed sothing unfavorable, but to avoid a beating and curry favor with the Princess Consort, she had no choice but to agree.
"Madam, please speak."
"Hmm?"
"No, no, no, Princess Consort, please speak. The maid is all ears."
Madam Wang’s beautiful eyes glared sharply, scaring Xiao Cui into frantically waving her hand because she was too accustod to calling Madam by her old title, sotis forgetting herself and blurting it out, which had earned her many beatings.
"Hmph!"
Madam Wang truly wanted to beat this foolish maid, but reconsidered, as there were more important tasks for her to handle, and she restrained herself.
"Co here."
"What is it?"
"Co here."
Xiao Cui timidly backed away, fearing another slap from the Princess Consort.
Don’t be fooled by the Princess Consort’s gentle appearance; when she hits, she is remarkably skilled, using minimal force to inflict maximum pain. As her close maid, Xiao Cui had experienced it many tis.
"Why are you so timid? If this Princess Consort calls you over, do you dare not to listen?"
"The maid dares not."
"Useless thing."
Madam Wang said, while taking out a small package from her bosom and beckoning Xiao Cui over: "Co here, this Princess Consort has a task for you."
