Chapter 8 The dowry is returned

Since she noticed that Chen Ruzhi didn't like her always mentioning her position, she kept her mouth shut and said something considerate, Chen Ruzhi really came more and more often, and even accompanied her for three meals.

Yueyi secretly thought that her status in Chen Ru's heart was always different from others, and everything she got was based on her identity as a "life-saving benefactor".

She suddenly remembered something and asked Xiao Tao, "Didn't you hurt her handmaid's hand that day?" How, has she ever come to you? ”

Xiao Tao shook her head and said, "Presumably because of you, master, they don't dare to come to the slave maid, that green bamboo is really annoying...... The slave and maid were really angry that day, and they were also upset with the master, you wouldn't blame the slave and maid for making assertions, right? At the end of her speech, she was scared for a while.

Yueyi threw her a string of pearl necklaces: "Since you are for me, of course I don't blame you." ”

Xiao Tao accepted the necklace and smiled all over her face, but she still had a concern in her heart, so she had to say it: "Master, you said that if Bai Wanrou gains power and takes charge of the palace and is out of the limelight, then the prince's side ......"

"The stronger she is, the more disgusted she is by the prince. What if you are born in a noble family? It's not that she is not loved by her husband, so she can only be an abandoned woman for the rest of her life. ”

Yueyi evoked a smile that was bound to be won, and was rampant: "No matter what, my husband will definitely protect me." ”

Since the holy decree was issued, the people in the palace have been talking constantly, some people have begun to take the initiative to please Bai Wanrou, and most people have called the princess on the surface, but they still don't take Bai Wanrou in their hearts.

For a few days, Luzhu sent back a lot of whispered words from the subordinates, many of which were humiliating remarks, Bai Wanrou only smiled when she heard it, but she never expected that one day these words would be heard by her own ears, or in her yard.

……

"Isn't it just an abandoned woman? The prince has abolished her before, who still takes her in his eyes......"

"If you want to call her the princess, just call her, anyway, in my heart, only the moon master with a very good temper is the princess, and the moon master is now pregnant with the prince's heir, and it is not a matter of time before she becomes a princess!"

"Yes, hearing you say this, I want to go to serve at the Moon Master's, I don't want to serve by the side of an abandoned woman, bad luck!"

Bai Wanrou was as soft as falling into an ice cellar, her face was as pale as paper, it turned out that these people arranged her like this on weekdays.

Lu Zhu was angry that his own lady was slandered, so he rushed up and scolded: "You are simply presumptuous! Dare to talk about the princess behind her back! ”

The subordinates knelt all over the ground, and Bai Wanrou had just taken a few steps forward, and then heard Luzhu say worriedly: "Miss......"

"It doesn't matter." Bai Wanrou found the eldest maid among the crowd, ordered her to raise her head and answer: "You should have been in the palace for many years and have seen many people, so it's up to you to tell me, what kind of person is this princess?" ”

The maid trembled, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence in a trembling voice: "The princess, the princess is naturally a good person......"

"It seems that you don't know what kind of person this princess is, so it's okay......" Bai Wanrou let everyone get up, and then said: "I give you a chance to choose, my courtyard, only keep loyal and quick people, do well will be rewarded, if you can't do it, you can leave now." ”

Everyone looked at each other, more than twenty people, and in the end, only six people stayed, all of them were sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, looking smart and well-behaved.

The people serving in the courtyard were all screened and the house was cleaned up, and just when Bai Wanrou was about to reward those handmaids, she remembered that her dowry was still occupied and she didn't get it back.

Several handmaidens took turns to give her ideas and encourage her to ask for the dowry.

A servant girl said, "Those things are yours, and if you keep them with others for so long, aren't you afraid of missing something?"

As soon as Bai Wanrou heard it, she remembered the pair of embroidered shoes left by her mother, and they were secretly worn by Yueyi!

Just thinking about it made her feel unbearable, so she led a few maidservants and went straight to the house where Chen Ruzhi was always there.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Ruzhi frowned and closed the scroll, looking at her with a cold face.

"I'm here to get my dowry back." Bai Wanrou pretended not to see Yueyi leaning behind him, and only indicated her purpose, "How many things I brought with me when I got married, I want to get it back." ”

Chen Ruzhi's words were sarcastic: "What trick are you playing again?" Bai Wanrou, don't try to provoke this king. ”

"The prince can rest assured, I just came to get back what belongs to me, and I will leave as soon as I get it." Bai Wanrou looked away, forcing herself not to look at Chen Ruzhi, and to leave as long as the goal was achieved.

"As far as I know, many of the things that Miss Yueyi wears are turned out of my dowry, and I hope that before tomorrow, I can see these things in the courtyard and return them without a bad look."

Bai Wanrou spoke very quickly, her chin was slightly raised, and her slightly narrowed Danfeng eyes swept sharply around her, like a cat with an arrogant temperament.

Chen Ruzhi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Lord Wang......" Yueyi behind him said softly, "Those dowries, concubines don't know where they were packed."

"Then get it back for me, whoever took it will find it." Bai Wanrou pointed to the pearl pendant on her ear: "Start here first, take it off for me." ”

"You!" Yue Zhi Bai Wanrou's aura was difficult to suppress, and she couldn't sit still, so she could only reluctantly take off the earrings, and instructed the maid to pack up the dowry.

"Why don't you see Peach?" Bai Wanrou mentioned it as if unintentionally, and Xiao Tao, who was hiding behind the screen, was even more reluctant to go out.

Yueyi secretly scolded the idiot, so she had to shake her head and casually find an excuse to prevaricate.

After counting all the dowries, Bai Wanrou returned the same way satisfied.

She still deliberately avoided Chen Ruzhi's gaze, even though she had already noticed that the other party was looking at her.

Back in the courtyard, Bai Wanrou took out a box of jewelry without hesitation, and asked each of the handmaidens to pick one each.

Each of them is worth a lot of money.

"Thank you, princess, the slave will do my best for you in the future!"

"The slave and maid are too, if the princess has anything to do, just tell me!"

"Princess, the slave is the same, I can run errands for you!"

……

After everyone finished picking, they scrambled to show their loyalty, Bai Wanrou smiled slightly, and only said in her heart, if these people can be used by her and will not betray her, it will be enough.

When night fell, in the evening, dinner was passed, and the maidservant Qingtang walked in from outside the house, and said to Bai Wanrou, who was sitting at the table reading a book, "Princess, the kitchen is here to deliver dinner." ”

"Well, I'm really hungry after reading the book for so many hours." As she spoke, Bai Wanrou rubbed her brows, moved slightly, got up calmly, her green and jade fingers were slightly cocked, closed the book, and threw it on the table.

"Yes." Qingtang nodded when he heard this, brought in the food box sent from the kitchen, and put the meals inside on the table one by one.

Bai Wanrou saw that Qingtang's movements were sluggish, raised her eyes and swept a few plates of green vegetables and radishes with no oil and water, showing a wry smile, and immediately got up, stretched her waist, and went to the kitchen, replaced by an indifferent and fierce face - rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry!

This time, it was a middle-aged servant woman who went to bring her food, and when she heard that Bai Wanrou had brought her maid over, her expression was proud, and there was no one in her eyes.

Qingtang, the servant girl who came with Bai Wanrou, saw this servant woman like this, and without waiting for Bai Wanrou to speak, she directly angrily smashed the food box in her hand on the ground, and yelled at her:

"Presumptuous! How dare you snub the princess in your kitchen! Let the princess eat these things for dinner? I don't think you want to live anymore! ”

Hearing this, the servant woman sneered and said arrogantly:

"Princess? The prince had already abolished this adulteress on the day she entered the palace, why? Isn't it you, a little girl, who thinks she can turn over as an abandoned concubine? It's good to have something to eat, do you really think you're a golden princess? ”

It will not be long before the name of the princess is restored, and I am afraid that it has not yet spread throughout the whole house.

"You! How dare you talk to the princess like that? Qingtang was angry in an instant, and glanced at Bai Wanrou, who was standing beside him and didn't speak, and instantly became anxious.

"Now there is only one princess in the palace, Princess Yue! This master of yours has long been an abandoned concubine, I advise you, it is better to change the master as soon as possible to follow, so as to save yourself from ending up like her in the future! ”

Looking at the servant girl Qingtang beside Bai Wanrou who had been standing up for her, the servant woman looked at Bai Wanrou who was standing next to her and never spoke, and felt that what she said was very right, so she said a few more words to persuade the servant girl to change her master to follow.

"You..." Without waiting for this Qingtang to speak for his princess again, Bai Wanrou, who had been silent for a long time, spoke:

"This princess doesn't know that the people in this kitchen are so proud? How? Don't you know that the emperor has decreed today to demote the princess of the moon in your mouth to a concubine? Now this princess is the princess of Jian'an! Give this princess a slap in the mouth! Let's see if she dares to do it again! ”

As she spoke, Bai Wanrou signaled to Qingtang, who was talking to her just now, and asked her to slap the mouth of this servant woman who was disrespectful to herself, she would stand up in this kitchen today, and see who would dare to be so arrogant in the future!

"Yes! Princess! Qingtang had endured this servant woman for a long time, and now that his master had spoken, he rolled up his sleeves and slapped his mouth at this servant woman without saying a word.

Because Qingtang used to do rough work, she had a lot of strength in her hands, so this servant woman was pressed to the ground by her before she could run, and she was slapped several times on her face, and she screamed directly in the house in pain.

"You abandoned concubine dare to beat me? I'm the one who serves the Moon Princess! Be careful, I let the Moon Princess lock you up! ”

The servant girl who was waving her hand to slap her to eat didn't expect that she had already hit her so hard, she still had the strength to say these words, and instantly increased her strength, until her hand was a little numb when she was beaten, and the servant woman stopped shouting.

"What's going on?" Lin Feng heard the movement from a distance and rushed over, and the people around the kitchen who were hiding to watch the play instantly showed their heads, and a few people talked about the matter.

"Guard Lin, please save the slaves! This abandoned concubine, she is going to kill the maidservant! ”

As soon as the servant woman who offended Bai Wanrou heard that Lin Feng was coming, she directly rushed over and hugged his legs, and the ghost with a nose and tears howled wolf.
