Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 16: Aunt Li is punished
Li Wanrong was so scared that she was shaking all over. She hid in the arms of the prince, not daring to look up. Her hiding of the silver was exposed in public, and she was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. "Prince, it's not what you think. For a moment, I didn't know how to explain it to you."
He Shulan's lazy expression turned sharp. Li Wanrong looked gentle on the surface, but was actually very eloquent. No wonder the prince was so fascinated by her.
She finally got the chance to teach Li Wanrong a lesson, and she would not let it go so easily. She retreated to advance: "Old Madam, although Aunt Li has made such a big mistake, considering that she served the prince, the matter of hiding the silver will be let go."
The prince was surprised. He did not expect He Shulan to speak for Li Wanrong. He was very disappointed that Li Wanrong had hidden the silver, but he still could not bear to punish Li Wanrong.
I hope the old lady will spare Li Wanrong from punishment for He Shulan's sake.
The old lady has been in charge for so many years, she can turn a blind eye to other things, but she cannot tolerate the secret hoarding of silver. If she doesn't punish her this time, the servants in the mansion will follow suit and think that as long as they serve the prince, any mistake can be forgiven: "No, Li Wanrong must be punished today."
The prince didn't know how to defend Li Wanrong. After thinking for a long time, he could only ask the old lady to punish her lighter on the grounds that Li Wanrong was in poor health.
Usually, Li Wanrong was arrogant and domineering in the mansion. The old lady had been forbearing for the sake of the prince. Now she could no longer tolerate it: "She is just a concubine, so just beat her to death." She ordered the servants standing by: "Drag Aunt Li to the yard and whip her."
Li Wanrong screamed in fear: "Prince, save me."
The prince hugged Li Wanrong tightly and said, "Old Madam, Wanrong knows she was wrong and will not make such a mistake again. Please let her go this time!"
The old lady was unmoved: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and do it."
With the old lady's order, the servants were no longer afraid when facing the prince, and they dragged Li Wanrong into the yard.
Soon, Li Wanrong's miserable screams were heard from the yard.
Chunxia's eyes were full of smiles. She leaned close to He Shulan's ear and lowered her voice, "It's really refreshing. Li Wanrong has been so arrogant in the Prince's Mansion for so long that the old lady has long disliked her. She deliberately punished Li Wanrong in front of the servants to dampen her spirit."
"We don't need to guess what the old lady's intention is. We can just watch the show."
After Li Wanrong was flogged, the old lady did not check her injuries, but asked the servants to carry Li Wanrong back to the yard.
Xing'er, who was waiting anxiously in the yard, saw Li Wanrong being carried back to the yard covered in blood. She was so scared that she cried out, "Auntie, what happened to you?"
Li Wanrong was so dizzy from the pain that she didn't have the strength to answer Xing'er.
The servant threw Li Wanrong rudely on the bed and said to Xing'er, "Hurry up and go outside the mansion to get a doctor for Aunt Li."
"There is a doctor in the mansion, why do I have to go outside to invite him?" Xing'er asked without responding.
All the servants in the mansion knew that Aunt Li was whipped. Since she was favored by the prince and not approved by the old lady, she was punished for her mistakes: "The doctor in the mansion is the imperial physician in the palace, who treats the master of the mansion. Is Aunt Li the master?" After saying that, the servant ignored Xing'er and left the yard.
Xing'er glanced at Li Wanrong, who was lying in a mess on the bed, and asked her other maids to help her change her bloodstained clothes, while she ran out of the house to call a doctor.
……
After making so much noise for so long, the old lady was a little tired: "I'm going back to my room to rest first, you accompany Shulan to the garden."
The princess looked unhappy. She was worried about Li Wanrong and wanted to go and see how seriously she was injured. She was not in the mood to accompany He Shulan to visit the garden and ignored the old lady.
Turning to walk outside, the old lady stopped her and said, "I know you dote on Li Wanrong. You are unhappy when I punish her, but I must punish her for the mistake she made today."
The prince knew that the old lady was right to do this, but he just couldn't bear to see Li Wanrong being punished. Seeing Li Wanrong covered in blood, he felt distressed. He didn't care whether it would make the old lady angry, and insisted on going to Li Wanrong's yard.
He Shulan didn't want the old lady and the prince to quarrel because of her: "A few days ago, the house in the east collapsed. I still have to go check whether the workers have repaired it. I don't have time to accompany the prince to visit the garden."
After hearing what He Shulan said, the old lady let the prince go.
Before leaving, the prince looked at He Shulan with gratitude and hurried to Li Wanrong's room.
Li Wanrong had fainted and was lying unconscious on the bed. He anxiously asked the servants beside him, "What happened to Aunt Li? Why don't you go and call a doctor?"
The maidservant was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously: "Prince, don't worry, Sister Xing'er has already left the house to invite a doctor." As soon as she finished speaking.
Xing Er led the doctor in and said, "I have asked the doctor to come back."
The prince stepped aside and let the doctor treat Li Wanrong.
After the doctor felt Li Wanrong's pulse, he said, "Madam is in a coma due to the wounds on her body." He took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it to Xing'er, "Madam is fine. This is trauma medicine. Apply it for a few days and the wounds on your body will heal."
Xing'er took it and sent the doctor out.
The prince applied medicine to the unconscious Li Wanrong.
……
He Shuzhen sent the old lady back to her room to rest, and then led Chunxia back.
At this time, the servants in the mansion were talking about it: "Although Aunt Li was punished by the old lady, the prince still dotes on Aunt Li and personally applies medicine to Aunt Li. This doting is really unique."
Chunxia was afraid that He Shulan would be angry, so she scolded the servants who were standing there chatting, "It's this hour, and you guys are still chatting here, hurry up and get to work.
Several servants who were chatting turned around and saw He Shulan. They were so scared that they didn't even have time to apologize and dispersed.
Chun Xia walked to He Shulan angrily and said, "Princess, don't be angry."
He Shulan said calmly, "Why should I be angry? The prince has been doting on Li Wanrong for a long time."
"That's good." Chun Xia muttered softly, thinking that it was a pity that He Shuzhen gave up the opportunity to be alone with the prince. "Princess of the Prince, you have already married into the Prince's mansion, not only did you not snatch the Prince away from Aunt Li, but you also gave up the opportunity that the old lady created for you to be alone with the Prince."
He Shulan was not interested in competing for favor. She would not interfere with who the prince favored: "All powerful men in the capital have three wives and four concubines. If I mind, I might as well marry an ordinary man and live with him for the rest of my life."
Chunxia felt that what He Shulan said made sense, but she couldn't just do nothing and let the Prince and Aunt Li be together. When she was about to speak, He Shulan in front of her had already walked away, so she hurried to catch up.
