Xia Hanxue sat on the ground in anger, one hand touching her face that had been slapped. This was the first time she was actually afraid of Hua Mujin.

And yesterday, Duan Qiuyan had told her that her action of throwing away the imperial edict was to look down on the Emperor's grace. This crime was enough to put the entire Shang Shu Fu in prison;

"What is it? If you don't want to leave, you want to be beaten up? "

Just then, the two maidservant s who were kicked away stood up from the ground, and limped over to Xia Hanxue's side to help her up.

"Hua Mujin, you better remember this. I will definitely make you pay double the price for today's humiliation in the future!"

"Heh, I'll wait!"

Hua Mujin simply disdained Xia Hanxue's provocation.

After seeing the master and his servant leave in a sorry state, he turned around, and his gaze landed on old nanny.

"Senior Servant Gui, actually, I have a principle, right?" If a person does not offend me, I will not offend him. If a person offends me, I will pay ten times the price. Tell me, how should I return the red marks you left on my body today? "

Witnessing Hua Mujin teaching Xia Hanxue a lesson with her own eyes, old nanny was still afraid. But her pride would not allow her to humbly beg for mercy to an unfavoured young lady.

"If Eldest Miss wants to beat me or punish me, then do as you say. But this old servant wants to remind Eldest Miss that this old servant is someone at the side of the empress dowager." The reason for coming to Shang Shu Fu was also because the Madam asked for it from the Empress Dowager. Young miss had better weigh the pros and cons before making her move! "

The three words "empress dowager" instantly caused Hua Mujin to frown.

She remembered that the empress dowager was Bai Lingyu's biological mother and Duan Qiuyan's cousin. This was also the reason why Bai Lingyu had frequently come and go of the Shang Shu Fu.

"Is that so? Now that you mention it, I'm really a bit scared. Even if you were the Empress Dowager's man, how could I, the daughter of an official, dare touch you? Don't you think so, Wang... "Grandpa ?"

Hua Mujin panicked. As she spoke, she turned her head and her line of sight to the entrance of the Lanting Pavilion.

And the man who stood there dressed in white was Bai Lingyu.

After walking in with a light smile, Bai Lingyu glanced at Senior Servant Gui, who was standing at the side, and met his gaze, his smile grew even wider.

But when old nanny saw Bai Lingyu, she quickly kneeled down, kowtowed and did not dare to raise her head.

"Senior Servant Gui is indeed one of mother's side, but mother doesn't seem to think much of her." If it's not convenient for First Miss to teach her a lesson, This King would be happy to serve First Miss. "

"Alright, then I'll be troubling you."

Hua Mujin's directness was something Bai Lingyu did not expect, and after staring blankly for a moment, he suddenly turned around, and as if he had used all his strength, kicked old nanny right on the head.

In a split-second, old nanny was sent flying. Her head just happened to hit the stone block, causing her to bleed profusely.

Hua Mujin looked at Bai Lingyu in shock, she never thought that he would actually be so ruthless. Looking at the smashed head of the old nanny, a trace of sympathy arose in her heart.

"I wonder if Eldest Miss is satisfied?" If you are not satisfied, This King... "

"On the account of you serving the empress dowager, Your Highness has already shown mercy. Hurry up and scram!"

Before Bai Lingyu could finish, he was interrupted by Hua Mujin.

She knew what his next words would be. She was not a vicious and merciless person, but she only wanted to teach old nanny a lesson and let him know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

After the old nanny heard Hua Mujin's words, she could not care less about the blood dripping from her head anymore.

Before he left, old nanny even thanked Hua Mujin.

"This old servant thanks Eldest Miss for sparing his life!"

and Bai Lingyu were the only two remaining in the entire Lanting Pavilion.

After a long while, Hua Mujin finally sat back on the chair and continued to kowtow on the South Cucumber Seed.

"I wonder if Your Highness thinks that this show will be fun to watch today?" After looking at it for such a long time, I believe that Prince is also thirsty. Do you want a cup of tea? "

"Naturally, it's hard to refuse such a generous favor."

Glancing at the uninvited Bai Lingyu, Hua Mujin poured herself a cup of tea and handed it over. She suddenly felt a sense of disgust towards the harmless smile of others.

"May I know what orders you have for me today?"
