Chapter 44 I can’t have this woman
I don’t know if her bones were soft just now, but now, Leng Qianqian’s bones are really soft.
She looked at the man with the golden mask with a pale face, wondering why such a small thing could make him angry. But now, she didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, and her whole body was shaking with fear.
"Your Majesty, she was brought here by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. It is said that she is his fiancée, so it may not be a good idea to do it directly," Liang Dehai advised, "If you make a big fuss, someone will come and nag you again."
The emperor frowned and said unhappily:
"Those old men only know how to complain. Forget it. Send her back to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion and give her ten more strokes of the cane. The reason is... just say that she damaged the ground of my imperial garden."
If there were other people here, they would definitely be confused.
There was no damage on the ground, but Leng Qianqian was kneeling and falling down, looking very embarrassed.
This reason... is perfunctory enough.
Leng Qianqian had no time to feel wronged, she was just grateful that she had escaped the disaster.
Being beaten with a stick is humiliating, but it is better than having bones pulled out or legs cut off. In this era, there are no antibiotics or emergency treatment. It is hard to survive such an ordeal. What is even worse is that one will suffer from inflammation and then die.
This is the outcome now, and it can be considered as a blessing from our ancestors.
Soon, Leng Qianqian was dragged away by several inner court guards.
The masked emperor did not return to Taihe Palace, but turned back to his bedroom. Liang Dehai went over to announce the end of the banquet.
This behavior was certainly willful, but no one criticized him, and some even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's better to just leave the table halfway than to kill someone suddenly, right?
Ye Qiongying followed Madam Hua out of the palace. Only when she saw the gate of the Ye Mansion did her straight back relax.
Fortunately, it seems that the purse was not discovered to be hers.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Hua saw Ye Qiongying sweating. "Is there not enough ice in the carriage? Young people are really hot-tempered. Ask someone to give you more next time."
Ye Qiongying did not explain and went home chatting and laughing with her aunt.
Yin Xu on the other end was completely confused.
Leng Qianqian said she was going to the toilet, but she disappeared and didn't come back until the banquet was over.
He found the palace maid who had just led Leng Qianqian, but she said that after Leng Qianqian sent her away, she didn't know where she went, and she didn't find her in the toilet anyway.
The palace maid had already received a notice from the head nanny, telling her not to look for it anymore.
When Yin Xu heard this, his heart tightened and he had a feeling that something was wrong.
He plucked up the courage to go to Liang Dehai, who was still staying in Taihe Palace, to ask for advice.
Liang Dehai glanced at Yin Xu meaningfully, and then said in a sharp voice:
"The person has been sent back to your house, my Lord. A real man should not only care about his career, but also take care of his household affairs.
Your vision is really not very good.
Anyway, please go back home first. Everyone in your house should know the specific reasons by now."
Yin Xu didn't understand what Liang Dehai was saying at all, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly said goodbye and went back home.
Just as Liang Dehai said, as soon as Yin Xu returned to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he knew what had happened.
There was no way. Leng Qianqian was really unwelcome in the Marquis' Mansion, and there were many people who had complaints about her.
Unlike the previous Marquis's wife, Ye Qiongying, who was generous and magnanimous, Leng Qianqian had no source of funds. It would have been fine if she had not increased everyone's monthly salary, but this time she actually gave them the unsold clothes in her store.
At first, everyone in the mansion thought that this was a benefit given to everyone by Leng Qianqian, the newcomer, in order to make everyone support her work as a housekeeper.
Anyway, it's still nice to get a ready-made piece of clothing for free.
Just when everyone was happily trying on the new clothes, they found out that this was actually equivalent to their monthly salary for the next month!
Pooh!
Leng Qianqian may think that the clothes are made of good materials, and even if she has to exchange them for money, it will be a benefit to everyone.
But in their opinion, this is clearly something that Leng Qianqian can't sell, and she is making money from them! Who wants to wear this thing?
When working in the mansion, they all wear the uniform of the Marquisate, and they don't need to wear such fancy clothes when going home. Of course, they would rather have money than these clothes that can't fill their stomachs.
Leng Qianqian tried her best to make up for the loss, but she lost all her popularity.
Many people in the Marquis' Mansion have been discussing secretly, saying that the Marquis is really short-sighted and actually picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon!
This time, Leng Qianqian was in trouble and many people laughed at her.
As soon as Yin Xu returned home, many people came to report what had happened truthfully.
It turned out that Leng Qianqian had offended the emperor! Smashing the ground or something like that sounded like an excuse, but there was no need for a specific reason. The emperor's disgust was the biggest problem.
In short, because of this problem, Leng Qianqian was escorted back by the people in the palace. In front of the whole mansion, she was stripped of her outer skirt and left in her inner pants, and was beaten with ten boards.
That scream...
Tsk tsk.
In short, Leng Qianqian has lost all her face and dignity.
From now on, let alone establishing her authority as the mistress in the mansion, I'm afraid few people will respect her as the wife of the marquis.
When Yin Xu heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Qianqian could have offended anyone, but she actually dared to offend His Majesty!
Fortunately, His Majesty seems to be in a good mood today and his emotions have been stable, otherwise the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery’s Mansion would have been wiped out!
He didn't dare to delay and ran back to the yard.
After Ye Qiongying left the house, Old Madam Yin got used to living in Xiyuan and did not move back.
The main thing is that there are still some new things in the West Garden, but the main courtyard has been emptied by Ye Qiongying, which the old lady dislikes.
Instead, Yin Xu and Leng Qianqian moved in.
Of course, the layout of the yard now is far inferior to what it was before.
"Qianqian, you..."
"You're finally back!" Before Yin Xu could finish his words, Old Madam Yin, who had been waiting here for a long time, stood up with her cane and said, "Xu'er, we can't keep this woman anymore!"
……
There was a commotion in the Marquis's Mansion, and the Imperial Palace was not so quiet either.
"What?" Liang Dehai's already sharp voice became even more piercing at this moment. "Your Majesty, you...what did you say?"
The emperor was relatively calm towards Liang Dehai and did not show any sign of annoyance.
He had taken off the half of the golden mask and threw it aside, revealing his entire face.
After taking off the mask, her fully exposed eyebrows and eyes were indescribably beautiful, and her skin was even whiter. There was an extra red mark caused by the edge of the mask, but it did not look like a flaw, but instead inexplicably added a bit of temptation.
However, when his peach blossom eyes looked over, it was impossible to associate it with romanticism. It only made people feel frightened, as if some crazy storm was brewing.
"I said, I will leave the palace for a while."
