Chapter 1786: Chapter 1788: Caught in the Act
Hearing Yang Chuxia say this, that nanny had an expression that seemed to say, "Exactly as expected."
As for the Secondary Princess Consort Tong, she turned her head, "Those are your words."
"Secondary Princess Consort Tong, are you sure you want me to do it a second time?" Yang Chuxia asked again.
"Of course!" Secondary Princess Consort Tong spoke instinctively.
"What if I refuse?" Yang Chuxia asked again.
"You dare!" The Secondary Princess Consort Tong never imagined Yang Chuxia would oppose her. In her mind, she was a consort of the prince, and a future empress of the palace, deserving of respect even from the wives of important officials. How dare this nobody dare to disrespect her?
"Hmph, country bumpkins are indeed crude and poor, with no sense of rules whatsoever," the Secondary Princess Consort Tong said, "I am a Secondary Consort of the Prince. You, a mere nobody, should not just bow a second time upon meeting me but prostrate yourself on the ground, and you dare to say no? Someone, since she doesn’t understand etiquette, teach her a proper lesson.
"Yes, Madam."
A line of maids immediately surrounded Yang Chuxia. Two burlier old women among them lunged to restrain her, while the Secondary Princess Consort Tong’s nanny even attempted to slap Yang Chuxia’s face.
"Foul woman, I suppose you’re brain dead? Did you pick on me deliberately today?" Yang Chuxia questioned the Secondary Princess Consort Tong from behind the maids.
"And what if I did?" The Secondary Princess Consort Tong slightly raised her eyelids, "Last time your little bastard dared to teach my son a lesson. I wanted to act then, but if not for the prince’s order, would you be living peacefully till now? You’re given face to live well but can’t restrain yourself, provoking me and my Tong family time after time? Do you think you, a countrywoman, can provoke our hundred-year-old State Duke’s mansion?"
"I was just fretting about not finding a chance to punish you, and here you are shamelessly coming to our Prince Zhuang’s Mansion. Someone, beat her, beat her thoroughly. When we report to the prince, we’ll just say that this Madam Ye collided with me as the Secondary Consort," she mused, then added, "Not only did she collide with me, she even dared to insult me and the Second Young Master. As a mother, I naturally need to protect my son and seek justice."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia was displeased. This foul woman wanted to falsely accuse her? Also insulting her son? Fine, if she wanted to play, then let’s play.
"Want to discipline me? Let’s see if you have that ability," Yang Chuxia coldly surveyed the maids.
Seeing one old woman charging at her recklessly, before she could touch Yang Chuxia’s arm, Yang Chuxia kicked her away.
Then another old woman came up to tear Yang Chuxia’s clothes, and Yang Chuxia turned and kicked again.
This time, the kick was somewhat clever, with enough force to send the person crashing into some arriving guests.
"What is going on here?" a voice, somewhat ominous, sounded from the new arrivals, familiar to all as a sign of anger.
Yang Chuxia looked up to see Baili Yan and Ye Zi’an had arrived, accompanied by Yangyang, Lele, some children, and several guards and maids.
The old woman happened to be kicked right in front of Baili Yan.
Seeing Baili Yan come, the Secondary Princess Consort Tong’s mind spun quickly. She hurriedly ran to Baili Yan, fell to her knees with a thump, and cried profusely, "My lord, you’ve finally come. This Madam Ye is too arrogant, too arrogant!"
