Chapter 221: The Houmen Madam Nursery School has started (7)
Marquis Cheng'en subconsciously covered his left cheek where he was hit.
He was stunned for more than ten seconds before looking at Bu Shi'an in disbelief.
"Zhuang Shuqin, you hit me! How dare you, a woman in seclusion, hit me?"
"Is there still…"
Snapped.
He was also slapped on the right side of his face which was not covered.
When his wife, who was looked down upon, cried out for two slaps, Marquis Cheng'en became furious, his eyes turned red, and he was about to punch her back.
But just as he raised his hand, he was tripped and fell to the ground by a sweeping kick.
His body was unstable, and he couldn't control his raised fist, which hit his own eye socket directly.
With a cry, the bird that had just landed back on the tree was startled and flew up again.
Bu Shian looked down at him condescendingly, his words merciless, each one more sarcastic than the last.
"Yo yo yo, who is this?"
"Isn't this our Marquis who is away from home all year round?"
"Why? Is it because the cousin and the concubine outside are not pretty enough, and the illegitimate child is not worry-free enough?"
"Otherwise, how could I see our Lord Marquis, who was reluctant to return to the Marquisate, wandering around outside my yard?"
Marquis Cheng'en was so angry that he wanted to stop it.
But the fall just now caused him to sprain his waist and twist his ankle, and no matter how he struggled, he was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
He could only listen to Bu Shian's continued mockery in helplessness and fury.
"Oh, I remembered."
"Our Lord Marquis was so angry after hearing the news that his mother had a mistress that she was so angry that she had a stroke that she rushed to the Marquis' Mansion."
"Eh, I never thought that the Marquis who has been away from home for so many years is such a filial son."
As Bu Shi'an spoke, he shook his handkerchief in a very pretentious manner.
"Look at the sky, it's so pink. What? You said the sky is blue."
"No, no, no, if the sky is blue, how could this marquis be so blind and confused that he went to look for his seriously ill mother but ended up in his wife's yard."
"Oh, I see. The Marquis saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recuperating in my courtyard and wanted to come up and show himself in front of the Crown Prince."
As she spoke, she squatted down and slapped Marquis Cheng'en's red and swollen face in humiliation.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. A lord who hasn't even passed the Tongsheng exam at the age of thirty, can't even beat a freshly enlisted soldier, and is so mediocre that he can't even enter the court even though his family has a title."
"When I first saw the crown prince in my house, of course I couldn't think of anything else."
"What cousin, son, mother? That's completely incomparable to taking advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with the crown prince and secure a future for myself."
"After all, the Marquis is a ruthless man who, in order to maintain the daily expenses of the Marquisate, condescended to marry a merchant girl whom he looked down upon."
"Of course, this readily available benefit is more important than those random people."
"You say so, my lord."
As the last words fell, a fist with the scent of ink was also thrown.
Amidst Marquis Cheng'en's howling, Bu Shi'an stood up and clapped his hands.
Looking at her masterpiece, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Great, now it's symmetrical."
"Luckily, I train regularly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deliver a punch of the same weight."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. As the mistress of the Marquisate, I naturally prioritize the reputation of the Marquisate."
"Although the Marquis is mediocre and incompetent, he still holds the title of nobility. Even if I have to endure a black eye, I want two of the same color."
"This is the dignity of the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion."
The palace nanny who witnessed everything from a distance lowered her head to look at the secret letter from the queen in her sleeve.
At this moment, she really wanted to say something.
Your Majesty, open your eyes and look at the world.
This is not a weak woman who has been oppressed to the point that she needs your imperial decree and secret letter to force her to be tough.
She is clearly a man-eating queen who is good at using sarcastic language and fighting skills.
Listen to these sarcastic words, and then look at the fist marks of different sizes and the same color on the eye sockets of Marquis Cheng'en.
Not to mention that an ordinary weak woman in seclusion can't do it.
Even those ladies who came from military families would never beat their husbands in the yard so openly and still have a good reason for it.
The key point is that there are two points of truth in this statement.
The nanny from the palace suppressed her surging emotions and, under the protection of two guards, walked straight over with the secret letter from the queen.
"Madam Cheng'en, it was too late the other day, and the Empress didn't explain many things clearly."
"You were in a hurry to leave in order to avoid being trapped in the palace by the locked gates."
"After much thought, Her Majesty the Queen feels it would be better to give further instructions in a letter."
"Just this morning, the guards reported on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's situation at the Marquis' Mansion yesterday."
"Look, the Empress thought about it and immediately wrote a letter."
"I'll have this old servant leave the palace and go to the Marquis' Mansion to deliver your letter and property, as well as some daily necessities for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince will probably have to stay at the Marquis' Mansion for a few more days. Please take good care of your Highness's recuperation."
"Later, a great scholar and martial arts master will come to teach His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As the nanny spoke, she handed the thick stack of letter paper in her sleeve to Bu Shian.
He turned his head and signaled with his eyes to the guards who were carrying or moving the young eunuch behind him.
Ask them to be quick and deliver all the things to the courtyard of the wife of Marquis Cheng'en.
From beginning to end, no one cared about Marquis Cheng'en, who was lying on the ground with red and swollen cheeks and black eyes.
Being neglected and abandoned in his own mansion, Marquis Cheng'en strangely developed the illusion that this mansion was prepared for his wife who could not understand him.
Just when the things were half moved, Bu Shian was preparing to take the nanny to see the little prince to make it easier for her to go back and report.
The trusted servant who was replaced by Bu Shi'an at the gate of the mansion hurried over.
"Madam, there's a woman at the door holding a little boy and making a scene. She's talking about the Marquis incoherently. Please go and take a look."
When he heard someone was making trouble, Bu Shian could only look at the nanny helplessly.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Aunt Qiu. I have to go take care of things at the door, so I can only ask the maid to take you to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Madam Cheng'en is too polite. You are so busy, and we are bothering you."
"Since Your Highness is busy in the study, this thing cannot be put away for a while. I might as well go with you."
"If it's really a troublesome matter that you can't handle, I can report it to the Empress after returning to the palace."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Aunt Qiu, to make this trip."
We are all smart people, so we should just say enough.
Before Aunt Qiu left the palace, the Queen had instructed her to find someone to investigate the concubine's background.
This would prevent her, a woman who disregarded her reputation and was willing to be a concubine, from being deceived, coaxed and bribed into interfering in the Marquis' Mansion and harming the Prince.
Now that the person suspected to be the mistress is approaching, Aunt Qiu will certainly not miss this opportunity.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is copying calligraphy in the room, and you can see it today.
But it's not always possible to have a mistress who comes to you on her own initiative.
I'll take this opportunity to observe the depth of the mistress and see if the wife of Marquis Cheng'en can handle this matter.
If possible, it would be great to take this opportunity to get rid of the mistress.
