The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 138: Festival
Chapter 138 Reputation
Although the back corner gate of the Duke’s Mansion was sparsely populated, the Bai family’s funeral procession had already returned and was passing by the entrance in front of this alley. Tong Ji’s loud shout attracted many people to stop and look into the alley.
Tong Ma Ma folded her hands in front of her belly, her solemn face gloomy. She looked at Chun Yan and said, “Chun Yan, you are so bold. Have you forgotten why you were beaten last time? You really forgot the pain after the wound healed! Not only did you dare to have private contact with the servants of Prince Liang’s Mansion, but you even intended to use the name of the Duke… Use these letters to force the young lady to marry Prince Liang. You are so bold and capable!”
Chunyan was forced to kneel on the ground by the maid and was so frightened that she trembled all over: “Mammy! Mammy, I didn’t! I didn’t!”
“You still dare to deny it when there is evidence! Do you think I am old and blind?” Nanny Tong was so angry that her voice was raised high, “If I had known last time, I should have beaten you to death!”
“Mammy, please spare me! I’m doing this for the eldest daughter…” Chunyan begged crying.
Nanny Tong snorted coldly, “This is a serious matter! It involves the prince and our eldest daughter. Let’s go to the Grand Princess and have a good discussion!”
Nanny Tong’s sharp gaze swept across Chunyan like a knife, and then fell on Tong Ji: “Take them! Go out through this alley and go to the main gate…hand them over to the Grand Princess for disposal!”
After Nanny Tong finished speaking, she led the way. The Bai family guards escorted Chunyan, Tong Ji, and the groom of Prince Liang’s mansion, and led the carriage of Prince Liang’s mansion all the way to the main gate.
“Let me go! I am a servant of the Prince of Liang’s Mansion. It is not your turn to arrest me! Let me go!”
Tong Ji was being escorted forward, shouting as he walked.
Chunyan’s legs went weak. She was so scared when she thought of Mingyu’s fate with the second lady that she could only cry and admit her fault: “Madame Tong, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I won’t dare to do it again! Please let me go and don’t take me to the Grand Princess. If the Grand Princess finds out, I will be dead! Madame Tong, you have taken care of me since I was a child… Please let me go!”
However, Nanny Tong seemed to have a heart of stone. She walked out of the alley with her guards and servants, and headed straight for the main gate of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion under the attention of everyone.
As soon as the Grand Princess was helped down from the carriage by Nanny Jiang, Nanny Tong suddenly stepped forward, knelt before the Grand Princess, and cried out loudly, “Grand Princess, please make the decision for the young lady!”
The eldest princess was stunned, and turned to look at Bai Qingyan who had already got off the carriage. Bai Qingyan also looked confused, and hurriedly walked towards Tong Mama: “What happened to Tong Mama?!”
The people had just sent the widow of the Bai family back, and had not yet left when they saw that the Bai family had just buried a hero and there was a new disturbance. They all stopped and looked in to find out what was going on.
“Miss! Miss, save me!” Chunyan saw Bai Qingyan struggling fiercely to rush out, but was held down by the servant. Seeing Bai Qingyan walking forward without looking back, she felt desperate and called out to Chuntao who was supporting Bai Qingyan, “Chuntao…save me! Please save me! I saved your life once…please save me too!”
When Chuntao heard Chunyan’s cry, tears welled up in her eyes, her heart turned cold and she didn’t even turn back.
Chuntao knew how difficult the eldest girl’s journey was. Chunyan, a maid who grew up with the girl, did not help her. Instead, she always caused trouble for her, intending to ruin her reputation and force her to marry King Liang. Her crime was unforgivable.
Matron Tong kowtowed heavily in the direction of Bai Qingyan, and then kowtowed to the eldest princess, and then said: “Last time, Chunyan secretly went to see the servant of King Liang behind the eldest lady’s back… She asked the eldest lady to meet King Liang in private, so the Madam reorganized the inner courtyard and sold the five families’ servants. The eldest lady made a break for Chunyan because she had served him since she was a child, and saved her life! Who would have thought that this bitch was so ungrateful that she actually met the personal servant of King Liang in private again! It just so happened that the little girl Yinshuang found out and reported it to me!”
The eldest princess had heard about this matter a long time ago, and she felt that Abao was too soft-hearted towards the servants, but after all, they were slaves in Abao’s Qinghui Courtyard, so she couldn’t say anything. Now it seemed that a slave was a slave… She must not indulge them out of softness!
“When I arrived at the corner gate with the guards and servants, I heard the personal servant of His Royal Highness Prince Liang tell Chunyan to take advantage of the chaos caused by the funeral at the Duke’s Mansion to put several love letters written by His Royal Highness Prince Liang to the eldest girl in the Duke’s study. He also carefully told Chunyan not to open the letters… Given the Duke’s character, he would not privately open the letters of his juniors. Then the Prince of Liang would try to have these love letters discovered and make a big fuss!”
The eldest princess opened her eyes wide in shock. This was going to ruin Abao’s reputation!
Tong Mama spoke quickly and steadily: “The servant of the Prince of Liang said that the Prince of Liang would lie to his wife… The Duke had long discovered that he loved the eldest girl, and withheld the letters he wrote to the eldest girl, saying that he would arrange for the Prince of Liang and the eldest girl to get married after he returned from the war in southern Xinjiang! He also said that if these letters were to be published, the eldest girl’s reputation would be ruined, and he would take the responsibility to marry the eldest girl, and when the eldest girl got married, he would take this bitch as his concubine! This bitch really agreed! She also accepted the letter, which is still in the bitch’s hand, and this old servant hasn’t had time to take it!”
Although Bai Jinzhi had been warned by Bai Qingyan in the carriage just now, when he first heard the sinister plan of King Liang, he couldn’t help but walked over and kicked Chunyan to the ground, and then kicked Tong Ji to the ground.
“How dare you! You actually plot against my elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi lowered his head and looked around for a suitable guy, intending to beat Tong Ji up first.
So that’s how it is. So in the previous life… Prince Liang persuaded Chunyan in this way and promised her the position of concubine, so Chunyan helped Prince Liang to do this, causing the entire Duke’s Mansion to be full of loyal and brave people… to die with the crime of treason.
Bai Qingyan glanced at the letter that Chunyan was holding tightly in her hand, and then looked at Tong Ji who had been gritting his teeth and holding back the pain without saying a word, and deliberately provoked Tong Ji: “First, let Chunyan pass on a message… saying that she wanted to borrow the military book that my grandfather had personally reviewed, and invited me to meet her! I don’t see the difference between men and women, and to consider each other’s face, I only let Chunyan give the military book that Emperor Gaozu had annotated to King Liang, hoping that King Liang would know that I don’t want to associate with him and stop pestering him! Unfortunately… King Liang didn’t understand my intention!”
“Just a few days later, Prince Liang came to see me again, and my mother punished more than a dozen servants of the Bai family! When the first plan failed, Prince Liang came up with another one, and even arranged for a maid from Prince Liang’s mansion to come to my house to slander me for having any dealings with him! Today, he took advantage of the funeral of my Bai family to deliberately come up with such a despicable means. He has no shame at all, and wants to use the name of my deceased grandfather to defraud me of marriage! Is that right or not?!”
By the way, the author of this chapter still asks for monthly votes, why? ! Because it’s double, my little ancestors!
