C118 Dead

The more they talked about it, the more ridiculous it got. Lingyue secretly checked. However, she could not find the source. Xiangyi also heard the news. Every time she heard someone say it, she would scold randomly. If Lingyue did not stop it. She was afraid that the captured servant girl would be beaten up.

Xiangyi had never beaten anyone before. When it was spread out, it was Xiangyi who hit people. She said that Mu Ruqing was also vicious and that whatever Mistress there was, there would be servant girl.

On this day, because Mu Ruqing wanted to eat the lotus soup, Xiangyi went to the kitchen to instruct. Before entering the door, she heard the words coming from inside, "If you want me to say, that our Princess is so vicious. She even connives servant girl to casually beat us up. She is also a servant. Why?"

"We are the good ones. Serve Miss White Lotus. She is kind to us and is also good to us. She is much better than that useless Princess."

"That's right. Miss White Lotus is as beautiful as a fairy. I'm afraid that the prince will soon..."

" Raise what? Only you dog servants are slandering the Princess behind her back. You don't even need to look at your own identity, do you think you deserve it? !" Xiangyi could not take it anymore. Her anger soared to the sky and she directly flipped over the basket of vegetables placed at the side. "When did the Princess mistreat you? When did she beat you up? Could it be that she was bewitched by Fox Charming Zi and could not see the truth and falsehood?"

"Miss, sigh!" The two old women went up to pick up the vegetables that had been knocked over and scolded.

Xiangyi came suddenly and servant girl, who was in the kitchen, was shocked. A few of them had already quietly retreated to the back and were silent.

Xiangyi put her hands on her waist and used her legs to kick down a small stove that did not have a fire. Dust flew up and hit the squatting old woman's face.

"What, you are not convinced?" Xiangyi looked around the crowd, "Don't think that just because the Princess did not investigate who started this matter, you can do whatever you want. What is the identity of the Princess, and what is your identity? You dare to slander the Princess like this? What crime is it to slander the Mistress? I don't need to remind everyone. Just based on this... Don't say I hit you, even if I break your legs... You'll have to take it. "

"Who would dare to be unconvinced! The girl is a popular person by the Princess's side. If we use whatever we want to do on a person like us who does rough work, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to use it on Miss!" An old woman with a grey scarf on her head, around forty to fifty years old, had a sallow complexion. Her eyes were small, her nose was big, and her lips were thick. When she looked at Xiangyi, her expression was full of disdain. Her tone was sour.

Xiangyi was not too far away from her. She took a few steps forward. That woman's face was filled with fear. She opened her eyes wide and took a step back. She knocked on the table where the kitchen knife was placed and raised her head. She looked at Xiangyi vigilantly. "What are you doing?"

"Slap! Slap!" He was about to get up and land two slaps on Xiangyi's face. Xiangyi slapped him very quickly. This kind of resentment could be considered to have dissipated a little. "Old woman Huang, aren't I evil in your mouth? Didn't I hit you? Now it would be better to agree with what you said."

" You... you... " Huang Hanna covered her face with her left hand and pointed at Xiangyi with her right hand. She was so angry that her face changed, but she did not dare to say anything.

"What? Didn't take enough!?" Xiangyi took a step closer and shouted loudly, scaring her. " You guys better take care of your own skin! Since that white lotus is so good, let her give you the monthly money! Don't forget, the mistress of the Imperial Residence is the Princess. You don't want this livelihood, there are plenty of people outside the Imperial Residence. If you're chased out, think about what the consequences will be! "

Servant girl, who was present, was stunned. After a long while, she replied," Yes. "

"If I hear any more rumors, I don't care that much. It was you guys who spread it. When the time comes, don't cry and beg the Princess!" Xiangyi was arrogant. She really couldn't not be more ruthless. "Also, the Princess wants the lotus soup. I will come and take it later."

"Okay." servant girl looked at each other and did not dare to breathe too loudly. Xiangyi was right. In the end, the wangfei controlled them. As long as Mu Ruqing did not fall, they could not offend Mu Ruqing.

Seeing their obedient appearance, Xiangyi let out a sigh of relief. Her heart was much more at ease. Finally, she helped the Princess to treat these long-tongued women.

When Xiangyi returned to the courtyard, Mu Ruqing saw her happy look and became curious, "What is it that makes you so happy? Did you pick up the money?"

"Haha." Xiangyi walked in front of Lingyue and walked around twice before fiddling with Mei's hair, "Princess, this is even happier than picking up money."

"I think she did not know where she went to cause trouble." Lingyue was stabbing a handkerchief and when she saw that she was keeping them guessing, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Xiangyi stuck out her tongue towards Lingyue and had a proud look on her face. Mu Ruqing did not like embroidery and suddenly remembered that she had not played the zither for a long time. She let Mei bring the zither over and play a song to liven things up...

Just as she was about to rest, there was a commotion outside the door. Mu Ruqing yawned and rubbed her eyes, "What is it?"

"Princess, you go to sleep first. I will go and take a look." As she spoke, Lingyue closed the door and went out. Mu Ruqing did not think too much about it. She took off her outer coat and prepared to lie on the bed.

The noise entered the courtyard and Mu Ruqing rubbed her brows, "Bring the clothes over."

Mei looked outside the door and helped her put on the clothes. Xiangyi had already walked out the door.

There were more than a dozen people standing outside the door. White Lotus stood in front and back with difficulty while Lingyue stood opposite of her.

"What is it?" Mu Ruqing walked out of the door and looked at the crowd as she asked with slight anger.

Those servant girl wives also stopped and there was no more noise from the crowd. The cries pierced Mu Ruqing's ears.

"Wang Fei." The etiquette must not be lacking. Everyone bowed and just as White Lotus was about to speak, a little girl rushed out with two braids on her head. Her nose was red from crying, and she was wearing ordinary cotton clothes. She pointed at Mu Ruqing and shouted, "It's all you, it's all you! It was you who caused my mother's death! You accompanied my mother!"

Mu Ruqing was somewhat baffled and Lingyue ran over and whispered, "The yellow wife in the kitchen is dead and hung to death. She said that it was because Xiangyi scolded her and hit her today. She felt that she lost face and..."

Xiangyi also heard it and felt a chill in her heart. Thinking about it, she could not accept it. She only said a few words and died? After doing it for so many years, could it be that she could not bear such a little bit of stimulation? He stood in front of the little girl: "Words are based on evidence. What does this have to do with the Princess?"

"You are guilty too. If not for you beating and scolding my mother, why wouldn't she have thought about it? Wuwuwu. " The little girl started to cry loudly, and her tears kept falling. She would say whatever she caught.

White Lotus came up to the little girl and held her back. She felt sorry for the little girl and said, "Princess, if the girl has offended you in any way, please forgive her. She is just a child."

"Find someone to bury the yellow woman. Give this child more silver taels. Is there anyone else in her family?" Mu Ruqing could be considered to have handled this appropriately. Xiangyi naturally had a reason to beat and scold that woman. As for that woman who did not want to commit suicide...

"Will it be fine like this? After all, my mother has been in the Imperial Residence for more than a decade and is also an old man. How long has it been since the Princess came and she has already forced my mother to death. What should we do in the future? I want her to atone for her crimes! " The little girl's mouth was like a knife as she pointed at Xiangyi and started fiercely.

"Enough! That is the Princess!" White Lotus scolded her. The little girl looked at White Lotus, feeling wronged. She held it in for a while and started to cry again. It was not that White Lotus did not want to coax her. After all, her mother had just died.

"Princess, this matter is related to Miss Xiangyi. Why don't we ask her what happened?" The white lotus was a peacemaker. She was sandwiched between Mu Ruqing and the elders of the Imperial Residence.

Initially, there was no servant girl in the Imperial Residence. There were only a few old women in the kitchen who brought a few of their young ladies as helpers. Mu Ruqing knew about that yellow woman. She was very crafty and greedy. Why would she seek death just because of a few words of beating and scolding?
