Chapter 176: Punishment
Public is public, private is private, although Lianwu made some suggestions on the matter of the Xiong Clan's rebellion, her behavior at the dinner that day still made Rong Yan feel unhappy, and her expression revealed displeasure, "What else do you have to do?" ”
"Father, I have already realized my mistake, in order to apologize to my sister, I also sent her a gift, but I don't know if my sister is willing to forgive me......"
Hearing Lianwu's words, Rong Yan's expression finally looked better.
At this time, a maid who was following Lianwu suddenly spoke: "Miss, my lord, let the slave and maid dare to interject, Miss, you are deliberately befriending the princess, and even lowered your posture and apologized, but the princess ...... But she doesn't have a good face for you, and I heard a friend in the princess's palace say that the princess has long since lost the gift you gave her. ”
"What?" Lianwu seemed very shocked when she heard the maid's words, she hurriedly glanced in the direction of Rong Yan, and scolded the maid in a low voice, "Where did you hear these rumors, don't talk nonsense in front of your father." ”
In the end, she looked at Rong Yan again, and explained a little eagerly: "Father, you must not take this seriously, I believe that my sister will not do such a thing." ”
Rong Yan only frowned and did not speak.
Seeing this, Lianwu was secretly happy in her heart, and the maid's words must have left a bad impression in her father's heart.
Thinking of this, she deliberately pretended to be Rong Zhi to speak, "In order to ask for my sister's forgiveness, those gifts were carefully selected by me, although I like them on weekdays, but I am reluctant to take them out, but this time I am apologizing to my sister...... I think that's the only way to express my sincerity in apologizing. ”
She implied that the gifts were her favorites, but she did not directly deny what the maid said.
Lianwu also wanted to secretly frame Rong Zhi's reputation, but in the next second, she looked at Shang Rongyan with a little inquiring, as if she could see through Lianwu's heart and spy on her true thoughts.
Lianwu was taken aback by her own thoughts, and she hurriedly comforted herself in her heart, impossible, she covered it up well, and did not show anything unusual, she would not be discovered.
Thinking of this, Lianwu behaved a lot more naturally.
However, at this time, Rong Yan had already looked away, his eyes were a little indifferent, "Zhi'er has an elegant temperament, and these things that ordinary people only love, naturally they can't get into her eyes." ”
Even if you lose it, what if you lose it.
Hearing the meaning of Rong Yan's words, Lianwu was embarrassed for a while.
Coupled with what Rong Yan said, it was like saying that he was just an ordinary man, and he was not as good as Rong Zhi at all.
In front of the maid and other subordinates, Lianwu felt that she had lost face here today, and perhaps even her prestige would be greatly affected.
But the person in front of him was Rong Yan, and Lianwu didn't dare to disobey him at all, so she could only smile and agree.
"Okay, let's step down if it's okay."
Lianwu had no choice but to smile reluctantly and leave with her own people.
Rong Zhi didn't know about this side of the matter, but Youruo quietly inquired about it and came back to tell her.
"Master, I knew she had bad intentions! I actually said bad things about you in front of the Demon God! "Youruo is indignant.
Rong Zhi was calm and abnormal, and didn't seem to care about it.
Just then, her personal maid walked in and brought a bowl of hot soup.
"Princess, this is made for you in the kitchen, drink it while it's hot."
The maid lowered her eyebrows and brought the hot soup to Rong Zhi, and she secretly thought in her heart: She has to find a way to stay for a while, see if she can hear some useful news and report it to Miss Lianwu.
However, at this moment, Rong Zhi directly knocked over the hot soup sent by the maid.
The hot soup was sprinkled on the maid's arm, and she wailed.
But Rong Zhi did not have sympathy or pity, but her expression became extremely fierce, and she swept coldly towards the maid.
Youruo also said coldly on the side: "Bold slave, clumsy in doing things, and even daring to send the hot soup that has just come out of the oven, do you want to murder the princess!" ”
In three or two sentences, the maid was charged with a big crime.
The maid fell to the ground in a panic, not even caring about the burns on her arms.
"Ask the princess to spare her life, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid did not mean it!"
For Shangrong Zhi and Youruo's indifferent eyes, the maid was extremely frightened, for this princess who had just returned to the palace, she didn't know what the other party's personality was, usually she didn't seem to care about anything, she was a cold person, but today, she was clearly angry.
The maid was afraid that if she angered Rong Zhi, she would lose her life directly.
"Let her go out and kneel." Rong Zhi commanded lightly.
It was the hottest time of the day outside, the sun was scorching, and there seemed to be a heat wave in the air.
As soon as the maid knelt on the ground, she was scalded by the hot ground, but if you still cast a spell to press her, she couldn't struggle at all.
And Rong Zhi and Youruo were in the shadows not far away, quietly looking at the maid, not knowing what they were thinking.
A certain guard standing on one side watched this scene, and his fingertips suddenly moved slightly.
This person lowered his head, and his face was hidden under the armor, but if he looked closely, he turned out to be Shen Yubai!
It turned out that Shen Yubai escaped from the demon prison, and pretended to be a guard, but before leaving, he accidentally saw such a scene.
In the hall just now, he saw it, and it was obvious that Rong Zhi deliberately knocked over the hot soup, and this maid didn't do anything wrong.
Later, I found that Rong Zhi asked people to punish the maid, and let people kneel under the scorching sun, this maid is lowly in cultivation, no different from ordinary people, compared with the strong physical fitness of the demon clan, it can be called weak, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the maid fell into syncope several times.
Shen Yubai secretly clenched his fists, when he saw the birthmark before, he originally thought that Rong Zhi was Shen Yuexi, but now that he found out that she was so harsh on the maid, he began to doubt it in his heart again.
How could Yuexi embarrass an innocent maid like this......
At this moment, several figures suddenly approached not far away.
"It's finally here."
Rong Zhi saw the person coming clearly, and whispered softly.
Youruo was a little strange when she heard Rong Zhi's words, tilted her head and asked her, "Master, what are you talking about?" Did you know that Lianwu would come? ”
Thinking about it this way, it seems that from the time when the owner deliberately knocked over the bowl of hot soup, it was a little different from the usual appearance.
However, Youruo didn't think much about it before, but felt that everything the master did was right.
"Sister, is there something Xiaocui didn't do well that made you angry? If that's the case, I'll apologize to you for Xiao Cui, please don't punish her like this, she is too weak to withstand such punishment. ”
