When the old women who were lying on the ground saw Ling Xiao coming, they were not afraid at all. Instead, they seemed to have found their backbone and crawled in front of him, kowtowed and complained.
"Your Highness, please make the decision for us. It's not what the princess said at all. We are just following orders. Also, Tingxue Court has never taken food from the big kitchen. We let them take it. What will the princess dowager, the prince, Aunt Li, and Concubine Rou eat?"
The woman who made the complaint knew that Li Yuzhu was the apple of Ling Xiao's eye, so when she spoke, she deliberately criticized Aunt Li very harshly, as if she was afraid that Ling Xiao didn't understand.
Ling Xiao was looking at the things in the food box on the ground with a gloomy face. He was so furious when he saw what was inside. If it were him, he would definitely kill these dogs.
But he knew that this was the work of the Concubine Dowager. Without her permission, these old women would not dare to do this even if they had the courage of heaven. However, these old women were so bold that they would not even eat such food for Su Nanyi, even if they gave it to a dog.
So when he saw the pig-headed Ning Po, he decided to use her as a scapegoat. He couldn't ask the concubine.
So he pointed at the food box and asked, "Mother Ning, you are in charge of the kitchen, so tell me what is going on?"
Granny Ning's eyes flickered. The Concubine Dowager told her to only give ordinary food to Tingxue Courtyard. It was she who bullied the people in Tingxue Courtyard. She gave that food on her own initiative in order to help the Concubine Dowager bully Su Nanyi and also to show her loyalty to the Concubine Dowager.
Even though the power to manage the household was given to Su Nanyi, these servants still only recognized the concubine as their master.
But she also knew that Ling Xiao would only drag her out tonight to take the blame for the concubine, so she said incoherently: "My Lord, I was wrong, but the princess shouldn't have brought people here to smash the kitchen and beat me up just because of a disagreement."
Admit your mistake and sue Su Nanyi. This way her mistake will seem minor and the punishment will not be severe.
This is the way they, as servants, have always protected themselves.
Ling Xiao sneered, it was a pity that this old slave with such a brain and such a mouth didn't go to the court to work.
He said coldly, "You don't want to tell the truth, right? If you don't tell the truth, then I will take action, and it won't be as light as giving you two slaps."
No matter what, the Rong Palace will not tolerate the existence of such a mean servant. If he dares to bully the princess today, he will have the courage to bully him tomorrow.
Mrs. Ning knew she couldn't fool the other party, so she could only stammer and tell her about Tuantuan and Yuanyuan coming over to get food.
After saying that, Granny Ning kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I didn't mean to do that. I was just thinking that there were so many people at the Princess's place, and if all the food was taken away at once, what would the Dowager Concubine and the Prince's Concubine Li eat?"
"You deserve to be beaten to death. Is the only thing missing in the mansion that is food for the princess? Are we all gluttons? We can't spare any food for the princess, and you dare to give her food that your servants won't eat?"
Ling Xiao was also very angry when he heard this. He kicked Granny Ning and cursed her.
He was also blaming the concubine in his heart. If he wanted to pick a fight with Su Nanyi, it shouldn't be because of the food. If this were to get out, how would he put his face?
He is just seeking momentary pleasure. How come Su Nanyi is pregnant? How can the baby grow well if she is not full?
madness!
Su Nanyi glanced at Ling Xiao a few times. This bastard actually spoke some human words today. She squinted her eyes to see how he would deal with these stubborn slaves.
But Granny Ning thought that if she told the truth, Ling Xiao would forgive her because she took the blame, so she kicked her.
Ouch, her old waist!
She supported her waist and got up and kowtowed: "Please spare my life, my lord, please spare my life. I was wrong."
Ling Xiao looked at Granny Ning, who was crying so hard that her nose and tears were all over her body, and felt sick to death. He took a few steps back to avoid her dirty claws and said sternly, "Come here, drag Granny Ning out and let me beat her to death. If anyone dares to bully the master in the future, Granny Ning will be your fate."
"My Lord, slow down!"
Su Nanyi immediately spoke out to stop him. How could this bastard handle things so carelessly?
No wonder he has so many unruly slaves.
Ling Xiao turned his head and looked at her, asking in confusion: "Princess, are you going to plead for her?"
Even Mrs. Ning, who was so frightened that she was out of her mind, forgot about Su Nanyi, thinking that he was pleading for her. She rolled her eyes, crawled to Su Nanyi's feet, and reached out to grab her skirt.
"boom!"
Mo Lian was quick-witted and kicked Ning Pozi out and threw her against the wall. This damn old woman wanted to catch her master even when she was about to die. If she caught her master with her fat pig-like body, it would be disastrous.
"master!"
Leng Yue also helped Su Nanyi steady herself.
Su Nanyi shook her head at her: "I'm fine."
Mrs. Ning didn't come to attack her, so she wasn't scared.
"Why, you still want to plead for her?"
Ling Xiao came back to his senses, called the guards to restrain Granny Ning and asked Su Nanyi.
Su Nanyi: "How could that be? Since the prince has given me the power to manage the household, I have the right to protect the interests of the Rong Palace. I will punish her after I have found out the truth."
Ling Xiao didn't understand what Su Nanyi meant: "What do you mean?"
Su Nanyi sighed softly. She pointed at Granny Ning and the maids huddled in the corner and said, "Don't you have eyes, Your Majesty? They are all servants in the palace, especially Granny Ning. Your Majesty, look at what they are wearing, what they are wearing on their heads, and how fat they are. Don't you have any thoughts?"
Mrs. Ning was wearing rare brocade, and she had gold jewelry on her head and wrists. She was also big and strong.
People like this have made a lot of money from the palace.
If Ling Xiao is beaten to death like this, how can we get back the things that this old man coveted?
After Su Nanyi's reminder, Ling Xiao looked at Granny Ning and the others. Sure enough, he saw that they were dressed like rich old ladies. His fists instantly turned cold.
Granny Ning now knew that she couldn't escape today. She met Ling Xiao's murderous eyes. She lowered her head and dared not look Ling Xiao in the face, let alone beg for mercy. She shouted in her heart that she was finished.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have been so greedy and put it out in the open.
She also took advantage of the fact that the concubine did not know how to manage the household, and her flattery made the concubine turn a blind eye to her actions, and finally she became arrogant.
Until her death, she would never have thought that she would have this day.
Even though Ling Xiao was furious, he knew that it was not appropriate for him to intervene in this matter, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's take this opportunity to take out all the private gains in the mansion and sort it out."
Then he pointed to the big kitchen and asked, "What are you going to do with this place? How are we going to eat in the future?"
Su Nanyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "This big kitchen has no meaning at all. Even a proper mistress like me has no food to eat. It's just a dream to want to eat the food in Prince Rong's Mansion. What's the point of using this big kitchen?
Are you still using it to feed these stubborn slaves? In the future, each courtyard should have a small kitchen, and they can just go to the storehouse to get what they need."
