Chapter 190 - Power to Manager Prince Yus MansionChapter 190 Power to Manager Prince Yu’s Mansion
That old bat looked down at the broken bottle and then turned around to glance at the closed door of the room.
“It may be an accident.”
“What are you doing here? Why are you standing still? Call more people. Move quickly!”
The monk had missed that weird explosion. Thus, he thought that old biddy was too excited to break it unintentionally.
“Argh! Look at you! How could you break such a treasure? You should have been careful. Don’t break anything else, please.”
The monk looked at the broken bottle on the ground, feeling quite sad. He turned around to pick up a coral bonsai smoothly.
However, all of sudden, that bonsai fell apart. When he approached that blue-and-white porcelain bottle, it exploded.
“Master, my bonsai was the one you brought from your parents’ home. It was worth one tael at least.”
Inside the room, Baishao’s voice sounded quite amused.
“One tael? Are you kidding? Young general found it in person to present it to Master when she turned three years old. If young general finds out, who do you believe will get into trouble?”
Baizhi echoed her words more naturally.
It was not rare to see Master’s things in a maid’s room.
Upon learning that this bonsai had been brought from the Princess’ parents’ home, the monk’s face paled.
It was well-known that Princess Yu came from an old family that had produced many generals in succession.
The Princess’ father and brother were the Captains of War.
Once her brother really discovered the truth, even God would fail to save his life.
Upon thinking of that, the monk felt his bald head get bathed in cold sweat.
After seeing what had happened to the old bat and the monk, the other servants exchanged glances.
They all came from the outer courtyard. They had agreed to help because they thought they could reap some benefits here.
Unfortunately, they found themselves in the difficult position of irritating the Princess as soon as they entered Liuxin Courtyard.
“It’s fine. However, the person who broke it will have to pay with their life.”
When Lin Mengya declared this, everyone felt a little cold.
Instantly, the old bat and the monk’s backs were covered in cold sweat.
They looked at each other, detecting a shadow of regret in their eyes.
They would have never been keen on gaining petty advantages if they had known what would happen to them.
As a result, it would be terrible to move those things out, but even more terrible not to move them.
The words were out already. If they took them back now, the Princess would feel more intense hatred towards them.
“Ma… Master, why not drive out evil spirits just in the yard?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat old biddy started to lose her nerve. However, the monk doubted that this was just a coincidence.
“We might be holding it too tightly. Let me try again. I don’t believe that thing will explode and destroy itself.”
The monk turned around to carefully choose a red wooden chair.
It was impossible for such a solid chair to explode in one’s arms.
He was very cautious as he held it and approached the doorway.
Boom! It cracked!
“My! My!”
That monk was startled. His face turned the color of liver from astonishment.
“Alas! It’s Master’s favorite. Are you driving out evil spirits or tearing down our house?”
Baizhi’s pleased voice came from the main room again.
The old bat and the monk were too scared to move even a little.
The atmosphere was truly odd in the Liuxin Courtyard.
“Your Highness, it was just a slip of the hand. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
No matter how stupid she might be, the old bat knew clearly that it was by no means impossible to move those things out of Liuxin Courtyard.
While standing in front of the main room, she bowed and admitted her mistake.
“You refused to admit your mistake until now. You broke our things. What about now? You even took out our quilts. We will never use those quilts now that you got them dirty.”
Upon hearing Baishao’s tricky speech, the old bat and the monk felt their faces get covered in cold sweat.
Concubine De enjoined them to drive out evil spirits here and there.
Liuxin Courtyard, where someone was always killed, was the main place where one should perform the exorcism.
However, that old bat from the outer courtyard was too baffled to think of an idea to take advantage of the Princess.
How stupid she was… How could it be possible to take advantage of Lin Mengya like she wanted?
That old bat thought that the servants in the inner courtyard respected Lin Mengya so much because they were not bold enough.
She had not expected that the Princess would be really ruthless.
“Your Highness, I’m sorry. I did this for Prince Yu’s Mansion. Please forgive me.”
After a while, a low sigh was heard from inside the room.
Finally, someone opened the door of the closed main room.
The four maids stood in a row. Delight in their misfortune and pleasure for watching this show were visible on each of their faces.
That old bat behaved herself and kneeled down on the ground with her head lowered.
“We have our rules in Liuxin Courtyard. I’ve told you that. Once someone else other than my people touches my things, I don’t use them anymore. Check how many things you have touched and pay the full price for anything you damaged. I won’t make you pay more.”
Lin Mengya spoke without any concern. It sounded as though she wasn’t being hard on anyone.
However, that old biddy looked quite pale. She had already heard that everything in Liuxin Courtyard was the best.
How could it be possible for her, a servant of the third rank, to pay the full price?
She turned around to look at the old bats of the second rank, who had been enjoying the show under the roof. They just laughed gloatingly, showing no desire to intercede for her.
She forced herself to calm down. No matter what, Concubine De would support her.
Then, she opened her mouth.
“Your Highness, it’s better not to make things difficult for me. I moved those things under Concubine De’s order. I’m afraid that you will have to ask Concubine De to pay for your things.”
Lin Mengya, who was sitting behind the four maids and reading a book, smiled faintly.
“How bold you are… Concubine De is the noblest concubine. What she values the most is principles. Concubine De told you to offend your master? If you feel wronged, fine. Come with me to the Art Courtyard to explain this to Concubine De!”
The old bat hadn’t expected that the Princess would really suggest going to the Art Courtyard for an explanation.
Both of them were masters. No one would stand by her side.
If they had really offended each other openly, she would be the first one to bear their rage.
Therefore, the old bat immediately softened her facial expression and bowed repeatedly.
“Your Highness, spare me. Your Highness, spare me. It’s my fault. I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Then, she started to slap herself.
It was quite loud. Whoever heard her felt like they were slapping themselves.
She deserved it.
Lin Mengya didn’t stop her. After dozens of slaps, the old bat noticed that Lin Mengya didn’t want her to stop.
Therefore, she had to slap herself harder.
After a couple of slaps, her face became red and swollen and streaks of blood formed at the corner of her mouth.
“Enough. You may scare the Buddhist.”
Baishao threw a look at that old bat while speaking lightly.
Now that someone had spoken, the old bat stopped torturing herself.
However, she lowered her head, not daring to act rashly.
“I thought the Princess was a kind lady. However, I’m really surprised that you are being so unkind to someone who offended you!”
A proud voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Lin Mengya lifted her head and watched a slim figure slowly walk closer between the people standing at the door.
Her peak green dress seemed like foil to her, and her waist looked thinner.
Her lotus-like face was overflowing with pride.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, if one looked at it closer, a shadow of enmity could be seen in her eyes.
“Why are you here, Jiang Ruqin?”
Because of what had happened in the chrysanthemum meeting, Jiang Ruqin had been taken back by her family. They had said that they were going to send her to the countryside.
However, a few days later, she came back to the Mansion.
Although Lin Mengya remained calm, she believed that something complicated had happened.
“Are you surprised to see me? I came back. This time, on my aunt’s order. Aunt told me to take over the governance of the inner courtyard. Cousin-in-law, you’d better go get some rest in your room.”
Jiang Ruqin seemed to have been exalted, as if she was back from the bottom.
All the people out there were stunned by the inversion.
How could it be? Prince Yu’s cousin, who had wailed and been sent away a few days ago, suddenly was going to take Princess Yu’s place and govern the Mansion.
Moreover, she had dared to oppose Princess Yu publicly!
At once, they couldn’t help making all kinds of assumptions silently.
An inversion might really pop up out of somewhere!
They imagined that Lin Mengya might fly into a rage or hold her accountable if she got angry.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Mengya just turned a page of the book quietly and spoke up.
“That’s fine. Baishao, give her the keys and account books back. In the next few days, you and I will get some rest in Liuxin Courtyard.”
She gave Baishao her order both directly and neatly.
She didn’t even hesitate or ask why.
Baishao, who was amazed by Lin Mengya’s behavior, still gave the keys and account books to Jiang Ruqin.
“Miss Jiang, you’d better hold them steadily. They’re quite heavy.”
Baishao smiled while speaking casually.
Jiang Ruqin was mad with joy. She hadn’t expected to get control over the Mansion so easily.
It felt like a dream.
She checked casually, but they were real. Jiang Ruqin guessed that Lin Mengya had agreed probably because she was afraid of her and Concubine De.
Then, she hung the keys by her waist and asked her maids to carry the account books.
“Everything is already determined. Things come back to their chosen owner. No one can take them away. Okay, let’s get out of here.”
Jiang Ruqin acted like a winning cockerel as she walked out of Liuxin Courtyard arrogantly.
The old bat and the monk saw that Princess Yu’s power had been taken away so easily.
Thus, they changed their attitude.
“The so-called Princess is only a princess of air.”
“Your Highness, I’ll move these things to Master’s hall so he can worship the Buddha with them.”
The other servants had left behind what had happened and already started to carry those things out of Liuxin Courtyard.
“Don’t gather here. Do your own stuff.”
Baiji dispersed all the servants and asked an old servant to close the gate. Then, she turned back to the main room.
