The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

"Miss……"

Xiaolian panicked and was about to say something when Xiaohe held her back and gave her a reassuring look.

Sima Yue's gentle voice reached everyone's ears.

"I asked Xiaolian to do this. I heard that the kitchen staff made me silver lotus soup. I was afraid that I might not be used to it, so I asked Xiaolian to taste it before serving it to me."

"The prince also said that he might not like tiger penis soup, so he asked Xiaolian to help him taste it first."

Wang Shishi felt that Sima Yue's words had many loopholes, such as why she ate Su Wan's portion of silver lotus soup as well, and why she lied to everyone and said that it was the maid who drank it.

"But it's wrong for Xiaolian to wrongly accuse someone. How about this, I will fine Xiaolian three months' salary and give it to you. I will also discipline her strictly when I return. How about that?" Sima Yue asked the maid.

The maid blinked. Although she felt that the Crown Prince's wife was favoring Xiaolian, she was almost wronged just now. Now that she could prove her innocence and get three months' salary from Xiaolian for free, she was satisfied.

After all, she was the head maidservant of the Crown Prince's wife, and three months' salary was not less at all.

"I will obey the orders of the Crown Prince and Consort."

"What do you think, Xiaowan?" Sima Yue looked at Su Wan again.

Su Wan could feel all eyes on her. She narrowed her eyes. This sister-in-law was not easy to deal with.

Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that Sima Yue's handling of the matter was biased towards Xiaolian, he did give an explanation to the victimized maid, and Xiaolian also received some punishment.

Although the punishment was not severe, Xiaolian was the personal maid of the Crown Prince's Consort after all, and it would be somewhat inhumane to deal with her in a rigid manner.

Even though Xiaolian cheated, Sima Yue didn't care about it and even tried to exonerate Xiaolian.

Su An will definitely stand on Sima Yue's side.

Su Wan's own silver lotus soup was also stolen. If she wanted to use this as an excuse, she could also punish Xiao Lian.

But Su An and Sima Yue both stood on Xiao Lian's side, so if she continued to do this, it would seem like she was making a fuss out of nothing, and it would easily lead to a conflict with Su An and Sima Yue.

And after all, this matter is not a big deal, so it is acceptable to handle it this way.

The only person affected was Su Wan, who was the head of the Marquis' Mansion. Sima Yue took over the power to handle the matter right away and helped Xiaolian get away with it with a light touch, which was a big blow to her authority in the mansion.

It was inevitable that people in the audience felt uneasy when watching this scene.

In the past, the prince did not take care of affairs, so the young lady was in charge of the mansion.

Now the Crown Prince's Consort seems to want to take power, so who should the Marquis' Mansion listen to in the future?

The Crown Prince's wife has always been favored by the Crown Prince and is also the young lady's elder sister-in-law.

But the lady will eventually get married.

The answer seems obvious.

Su Wan looked at Sima Yue, and a smile flashed across the latter's eyes.

Sima Yue knew that Su Wan didn't like her, and she also disliked this strong young lady from the Marquis's Mansion. She was even a little jealous. Why could she be in charge of the prominent Shenwei Marquis' Mansion, while she had to be looked down upon everywhere in the Runan Prince's Mansion?

Moreover, if she wants to seize power in the Marquis' Mansion, Su Wan is definitely the biggest obstacle.

Sima Yue won this battle. As long as she has Su An's support, she will be invincible in the future!

Su Wan hesitated for a moment, but eventually gave up the idea of ​​continuing to pursue the matter.

Let's just end this matter like this. At worst I can just give in.

If she continued to pursue the matter, when Su An came, he would speak for Sima Yue, and her prestige would only be further damaged.

When Su Wan was about to put the final touches on the matter, a surprised voice was heard.

"What are you doing here?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Su An was seen standing at the gate of the courtyard, wearing a purple robe with gold embroidery on the collar and cuffs, and a jade crown to tie his hair. His face was as handsome as a painting, but because of his pair of sword-like eyebrows, he did not look feminine, but instead looked heroic.

His figure was bathed in the bright morning sun, he was tall and slender, shining with golden light, as resplendent as a god.

Wang Shishi couldn't help but stare at him in a daze, but she quickly came to her senses and lowered her head not to look at him.

"What are you doing?" Su An asked puzzledly as he looked at the group of people in the yard.

Sima Yue stepped forward and explained what had happened.

"It was also a misunderstanding. We asked Xiaolian to help taste the tiger penis soup and silver lotus soup, and then she was mistakenly thought to be eating them secretly."

Sima Yue winked at Su An as he spoke.

He hasn't apologized to me from last night until now, but I still need his help. Since he will speak up for me later, I can forgive him.

"What tiger penis soup?" Su An's face was filled with black lines.

His sword is not even sharpened yet, and he is given this stuff to drink. Who is he looking down on?

Sima Yue thought Su An didn't understand what he meant, so he spoke quickly.

"That's what you told her to do this morning. She should taste it before serving it to you..."

"When did I say that?" Su An interrupted her expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"I got up at the dawn today, and Xiaolian was still sleeping. Then I went to the storeroom and the back garden. How could I have the chance to tell her?"

"I don't even know who made the tiger penis soup for me."

Everyone looked at Sima Yue, and her face looked somewhat embarrassed.

Are the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess having a conflict? The Crown Princess obviously wanted the Crown Prince to cooperate with her, but she didn't expect the Crown Prince to be so disrespectful.

The servants present thought to themselves.

"As a slave, I stole my master's food, and you only fined me three months' salary?" Su An looked at Sima Yue and asked in a questioning tone.

"I..." Sima Yue was speechless. Su An's reaction was beyond Sima Yue's expectations, leaving her at a loss.

Su An doesn't spoil her.

"Hasn't Su Wan always been in charge of the affairs in the mansion? When is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

"Especially when someone close to you made a mistake, and you protected her so much, someone who didn't know would think this marquis's family was named Sima!"

Su An's cold voice reached everyone's ears, and the place suddenly became silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Sima Yue's pretty face turned extremely pale. If Su An just didn't give her face, then now he was throwing her face on the ground and stepping on it.

"The Marquis' Mansion is the Su family's Marquis' Mansion." Su An looked at everyone present and said lightly.

Everyone present understood that this was telling them that the person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion was still Miss Su Wan, not Sima Yue, the Crown Prince's Consort.

The Crown Prince obviously also realized that the Crown Princess and the young lady were fighting for power, and the young lady was at a disadvantage, so he was supporting the young lady.

Su Wan looked at Su An's back, and in a trance she saw the figure standing in front of her when she was a child.

"Su Wan, you decide how to deal with this matter." Su An said.

Su Wan suppressed her thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Xiao Lian stole the master's food and was punished to be a maid sweeping the courtyard."

Su An nodded slightly. The cleaning maid was the one who did the dirty and tiring work in the mansion. Her monthly salary was pitifully low, which was a world of difference compared to the personal maid.

In her previous life, Xiaolian loved to gossip and make trouble everywhere. If he were to deal with her, he would beat her to death.

However, although Manager Su Wan's methods were strict, they were not that harsh, and the punishment was just right.

"The Crown Prince's Consort is not strict with her subordinates, so she will be fined three months' salary." Su An finally announced the punishment for Sima Yue.

It was another decision that surprised everyone. A fine of three months' salary, which was the same punishment that the Crown Prince's wife had imposed on Xiaolian before. Did the Crown Prince do this on purpose?

Sima Yue’s face was as pale as paper, her body swayed and she almost fell down.

The punishment of a fine of three months' salary was like a slap in the face to her.

"Miss, let's go back to the room first."

Xiao He looked worried and quickly helped Sima Yue back to the room.

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I don't want to be a maid. Please forgive me." Seeing that her greatest support was gone, Xiao Lian pleaded with tears in her eyes, pulling Su An's sleeve.

Su An casually pushed Xiao Lian away and dispersed the crowd, "Alright, everyone go away."

Xiaolian sat on the ground slumped like a dead person, and soon a maid came up to take her to familiarize herself with the work.
