Chapter 138 The poor little girl who was married off VS the inhumane prince 23
Today I happened to see Zhou making trouble for Yu Wan and asking her to wash her feet.
Yu Wan did not refuse, but instead brought Zhou a basin of boiling hot water.
I don’t know if Zhou wasn’t paying attention because of her old age, or if she really trusted Yu Wan so much that she didn’t test the water temperature.
Just put your foot in.
"Ah... murder... you bitch, do you want to burn me to death?"
Zhou screamed in pain from the burns, kicked over the basin in front of her, pointed at Yu Wan with a ferocious face and started cursing.
Yu Wan was well prepared. She had already stepped away before Zhou kicked over the basin, so that not a single drop of water splashed on her.
"I'm sorry, mother. I really didn't mean it. I've never served anyone before, so I didn't know the water temperature was not right!"
She looked panicked and seemed at a loss, but there was a flash of pleasure in her eyes.
You old woman, you dare to tease me? I’ll burn you to death.
"Ah, you bitch, you did it on purpose. You just took the opportunity to take revenge. How could our Li family marry a vicious woman like you?"
"Just wait, I will tell Luo Shu later and ask him to divorce you, this vicious woman."
Zhou glared at Yu Wan angrily. If her legs hadn’t been burned, she would have pounced on this bitch and tore her apart.
How could I be so careless as to let this bitch wash my feet?
Ouch, it hurts so much.
Zhou looked down at her feet and found that both of them were scalded red. In a blink of an eye, large blisters appeared. She hated Yu Wan even more.
She wanted to ask the maid to hold Yu Wan down so that she could give this bitch a good beating.
She looked around and found that there was no maid in the room. She didn't know where they had gone. She was so angry that she started cursing.
Yu Wan was extremely happy, and she also let out a sigh of relief. She was not angry at all about Zhou's verbal abuse.
Thinking about the troubles she had suffered during this period, she felt that it was not enough, and she was determined to severely punish this damn old woman.
She rolled her eyes and said with a worried look:
"Oh, mother, your feet are all blistered. I heard from others that if you have blisters on your feet, you should pop them in time, so that they will heal faster after applying medicine. I happen to have some medicine, so why don't I pop the blisters for you first?"
Without waiting for Zhou's consent, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Zhou's feet.
"You bitch, don't touch me, get out of here, get out of here..."
How could Zhou dare to let Yu Wan touch her again? She kicked and waved her hands and feet wildly, trying to stop Yu Wan from getting closer.
Yu Wan had long hated Zhou, and as her husband was not at home, she was not willing to give up.
After all, she was young, and she quickly grabbed one of Zhou's feet. Her long and sharp nails instantly tore the big blisters on Zhou's foot, and she grabbed it hard.
The blistered skin on Zhou's feet was torn off in a flash.
"Ahhh... Murder, where are you, Luoshu? Your wife has killed someone, and she wants to kill an old woman like me."
Zhou was shaking with pain, screaming like a pig being slaughtered, and struggling violently.
Yu Yao felt the pain even through the screen. It would take at least ten days or half a month for Zhou Shi to be able to walk.
But in my heart I felt that Zhou deserved it.
This is called "evil will be punished by evil". People like Zhou should be severely punished by people like Yu Wan.
The original owner was honest and dutiful. He served Zhou very attentively and listened to her very much. However, he still could not satisfy Zhou. Instead, he was tortured by Zhou and fell ill, and died early.
All I can say is tit for tat.
She was enjoying the show, but she didn't know that danger was approaching in secret.
In a hidden corner outside the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Xifeng, who had received the order from Princess Zhaomin, had been lurking here for several days.
The princess wanted him to destroy Prince Yan's wife's appearance and then throw her into a beggar's den outside the city.
Unfortunately, the Prince Jin's Mansion was heavily guarded, and there were many secret guards hiding in the dark, so Xifeng naturally didn't dare to break in.
We can only wait here and wait for Princess Yan to come out before finding an opportunity to take action.
Yu Yao didn’t know all this. After watching the drama in Li Luoshu’s mansion for a while, she asked the system to turn off the screen.
Later, Siqin heard that the emperor had gifted a batch of precious flowers to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, saying that the Princess of Jin was going to hold a flower-viewing banquet, and that these flowers were just sitting in the greenhouse, so it would be better to take them out for everyone to appreciate.
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking it was okay, and went over to take a look.
The flowers given by His Majesty were placed in the garden. When she arrived, the servants were carefully placing them. She took a closer look.
I found more than a dozen pots of peonies, all of which were extremely beautiful, with flowers blooming neatly, full in shape, radiant in luster, and fragrant in scent. They are truly worthy of being the king of flowers.
Among them, two pots of Yao Huang and two pots of Wei Zi are the most valuable.
These two types of peonies are rare and extremely difficult to cultivate. I don’t know if they can be found elsewhere, but they are definitely not found in the Prince Jin’s Palace.
The other peonies are also very beautiful and are rare varieties.
In addition, there are some tribute chrysanthemums and Eighteen Scholars, which are rare and precious varieties.
Generally, the emperor is very wary of his brothers, and he will not let his guard down even if they are idle princes.
But Emperor Qiming was not afraid at all. Instead, he rewarded the Prince of Jin's Mansion from time to time.
Yu Yao secretly sighed that Emperor Qiming was generous and open-minded, but she always felt that there was something weird about him.
This reward from His Majesty should have been a very happy thing, but she found that Princess Jin's face did not show any joy at all, but rather a bit ugly.
She frowned. Shouldn't one be happy about the emperor's reward? Doesn't this mean that the emperor values the Prince of Jin's Mansion?
But looking at the expression on Princess Jin's face, it was completely different.
She turned her gaze towards Prince Jin again. Prince Jin seemed very happy and admired her cheerfully.
Nangong Yan was also very happy, and ordered his servants to move the best-blossoming pots of Eighteen Scholars to his study.
Yu Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking that she might have overthought. Maybe Princess Jin was just in a bad mood today.
I didn’t think about it any further.
In the imperial palace, the floor of the Pepper Room was littered with broken porcelain, all of which were smashed by the Queen in anger.
"It's been so many years, and the emperor still can't forget that bitch. He even gave her the peony as a reward. Where does this put me?"
The queen sat on the couch with a gloomy face, her chest heaving with anger.
She became even angrier when she heard from the people below that Yao Huang and Wei Zi were among them.
There was only one plant of each of these two kinds of peony in her palace, and she usually had the palace servants take care of it carefully, for fear that it would not survive.
But the emperor was very generous and gave all the rewards to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and gave them to that bitch. How could the queen not be angry?
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Jin has already married. Even if the Emperor misses her, it can't do anything about it. Why are you angry?"
The queen's wet nurse stepped forward and whispered.
The queen naturally knew it, but she was still angry.
Then he thought of Nangong Yan. The emperor was extremely good to this nephew, even better than the crown prince.
It's not that she didn't suspect Nangong Yan's background, and she also secretly asked someone to investigate, but she found nothing.
"Mammy, arrange for Bai Lian to take Nangong Yan's blood. It doesn't need to be a lot, just a few drops will be enough."
The queen suddenly thought of something and spoke.
She wanted to see whether Nangong Yan was the child of the emperor and Princess Jin.
The nurse looked at the queen in shock, "My queen, are you suspicious?"
"Hmph, it's been so many years, and the emperor still hasn't forgotten that bitch Princess Jin. I suspect they are secretly in cahoots with each other. Even Prince Yan might be their bastard, but no one knows about it."
The queen did not hide anything and expressed her suspicions truthfully.
Just because this was her wet nurse, the person she trusted most.
The wet nurse was extremely shocked. His Majesty had indeed pursued Princess Jin in the past, but Princess Jin chose Prince Jin.
Although His Majesty was depressed for a while, he recovered quickly and did not take any more actions, so everyone thought that He had let it go.
But when I thought about the emperor's love for Prince Yan, I became a little uncertain again.
That's better than treating your own son.
The emperor has many brothers and nephews, but I have never seen him treat any of his nephews so well.
But because the Prince of Jin and the Emperor were born of the same mother, both the Queen Mother's sons, no one thought too much about it and just thought they were brothers, and as a result, they doted on Prince Yan even more.
"My lady, I understand. I will ask Bai Lian to do it right away."
The wet nurse collected her thoughts, responded respectfully, and then retreated.
