Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

Naturally, the servants did not dare to talk about their mistress.

The wife of the Duke of Chen suppressed her anger and said to the head nanny beside Princess Cheng with a wry smile, "Please apologize to the old princess on my behalf. I am sorry for causing her so much trouble."

After saying this, the wife of the Duke of Chen lowered her posture and bowed. The head nanny quickly returned the greeting and comforted the wife of the Duke of Chen with a few words.

Although Xiao Beichen asked Marquis Yong'an to take Princess Kang Yi back, he wanted both Prince Cheng's Mansion and Duke Chen's Mansion to discipline Princess Kang Yi.

But Prince Cheng's Mansion can still be managed, and the old wife of Duke Chen is obviously unable to control a princess' daughter-in-law.

Although the wife of Duke Chen just confessed her crime, she did not specify what crime she was confessing, but smart people would understand it as soon as they heard it.

The old wife of Duke Chen did not say a word to Princess Kangyi, but kept a very humble attitude. She also escorted the head nanny and her group all the way to the second gate, and then hurried to look for Duke Chen.

Old Chen Guogong was waiting in the study. After hearing the whole story, he sighed with a complicated expression.

"Others don't know what happened, but we know it clearly. This matter could have been a big deal or a small one, so how did it become like this?" Old Duke Chen couldn't figure it out.

"Yuan Fang has already made it clear that Tang'er is going to use Taoism to walk from the sky, and those who are going there are all people who are buying food. Look at what Kang Yi has done?"

The wife of Duke Chen spoke with a clear mind.

"As a princess and a housewife, did she listen to Yuan Fang's explanation of the inconvenience? Did she understand Yuan Fang's difficulties? Did she respect Yuan Fang's arrangements?"

"Yuan Fang ignored her and left first, but she got two carriages to chase him. What a shame! She even threw a tantrum when being stopped at the palace gate. Is she really a princess of the royal family?"

The wife of the old Duke Chen sneered with a mocking look on her face.

"I think the emperor's order really angered her with her arrogance and ignorance. He thought it was shameful, so he ordered her to be disciplined. Chopping off her hands and feet is what he said when he was extremely angry."

"After all... I heard that it was Marquis Yong'an who delivered the oral order. If they really wanted to convict him, I'm afraid it was Eunuch Wang who delivered the order directly."

So in the final analysis, the emperor still saved face for Prince Cheng's Mansion.

As for the Duke Chen's Mansion? Didn't Yuan Fang take Zi Zhuo and Tang Er with him? This is none of their business.

Old Duke Chen also understood, and sighed helplessly, saying: "No wonder, they let the princess return to the palace instead of letting us control her."

Because Prince Cheng's Mansion also knew that they should bear the blame, because such a big princess was raised by Prince Cheng's Mansion.

The old couple sat under the window and drank a cup of tea, sighing and talking about the matter in low voices for a long time. In the end, they decided to ignore it and it was not convenient to intervene.

The head nanny only said that the prince and princess fainted from anger when she was scolding Princess Kangyi, and she did not tell the wife of Duke Chen, so the old couple did not know about this matter.

No matter what, it is a wise choice.

But before returning to her own courtyard, the wife of Duke Chen decided to warn the servants in Princess Kangyi's courtyard to stop gossiping in the mansion.

Princess Kang Yi was being watched by the maids from the palace, who almost dragged her away. When she was leaving, the maids and servants around her wanted to follow her, but were scolded by the head nanny, who told them not to follow.

Therefore, Princess Kang Yi was taken back to Prince Cheng's Mansion alone. All the servants in her courtyard were in a state of panic. No one had anything to do, and no one knew what to do...

When the wife of Duke Chen arrived, all the servants knelt down in the yard.

Not long after my master left, my master's mother-in-law arrived. What could it be? Was she going to punish them?

Everyone was feeling very anxious and their faces were not looking good.

When Lady Chen Laogong saw their timid reactions, she understood what was going on. She didn't put on airs, but asked the people she brought with her to close the courtyard door, and then sat in the hall to talk.

All the servants in Princess Kangyi's courtyard knelt in the hall again, and then the wife of Duke Chen spoke in a calm tone.

"The princess was taken back to the palace by the old princess's people. She will probably stay for a few days."

"Don't gossip about it. It will only ruin your master's reputation and make it seem like our mansion is powerless to control its servants and has no way of disciplining them."

"Xingyu is impatient. If you dare to tell her anything and cause trouble, even if all your lives are taken, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pay for it."

"As for the rest...everything remains the same. Don't forget, if your master is not doing well, your heads will not be at peace either."

The wife of the old Duke Chen was scolding these people.

Seeing that they showed expressions of relief despite their panic, he realized that they were probably also worried that the news would get out and affect the princess' reputation.

Although Princess Kang Yi is the mistress of the house and has always had authority in the Duke's Mansion, Zheng Yuanfang has a concubine, so Princess Kang Yi no longer has the final say in the rear house.

Before the wife of Duke Chen came, the maidservant beside Princess Kang Yi had already raised this question.

Everyone else was busy showing their loyalty, and then they became worried about whether other courtyards had also known about this.

Being taken back in an undignified manner by her natal family would be humiliating for anyone, let alone a princess of noble status.

They also didn't know how the old lady of the Duke of Chen, their mother-in-law, would conclude this matter.

Now that they saw that the wife of Duke Chen was also warning them to put the princess's reputation first, they felt relieved.

The words of Old Chen Guogong's wife represent the attitudes of the other masters of the Guogong Mansion, but...

The woman in charge kowtowed and said with a sad face:

"Madam, the princess returned to Prince Cheng's mansion alone, without anyone around her. Will the second young lady believe that the princess returned to the mansion for a short stay?"

How could a master go out without servants following him?

"When they come to pay their respects tomorrow morning, I will tell everyone that the princess has returned to Prince Cheng's mansion for a short stay and will be back when the Duke returns."

Faced with the mother-in-law's concerns, Lady Chen did not take it lightly. She thought about it seriously and came up with this idea.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Zheng Yuanfang and Zheng Zizhuo went to Hezhou to present a first birthday gift, and everyone came to present their gifts.

In this case, since Zheng Yuanfang is out, wouldn't it be reasonable for the princess to go back to her parents' home for a short stay?

The head maid also thought this was a good reason, so she kowtowed again and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, old lady. We will also wait quietly in the courtyard for the princess to return."

What she meant was that she had made a guarantee for the dozens of servants in this courtyard, and she would keep an eye on them. If gossip still spread in the mansion, it would not be the fault of the servants in their courtyard.

The wife of Duke Chen did not care about her implication and was very satisfied with her proactive attitude. She gave a few more instructions and then left holding the maid's hand.

Zheng Xingyu was reciting "The Book of Women" in her room with an irritable look on her face. She really had no idea what had happened to her mother.

When Princess Kang Yi was brought back to Prince Cheng's Mansion, it had already darkened.
