2637 Do You Want to Die?
That servant girl’s gaze flashed when she saw the scene inside the room.
Caixian and Meixian, the first-rank maidservants, went up to drag away that insolent second-rank servant girl. They naturally saw His Highness the Crown Prince holding the young crown prince consort on his thighs.
The two of them couldn’t help being embarrassed, and they hastily retreated two steps out the door.
On the other hand, that second-rank servant girl, Xiaoxing, stood at the door in a dilemma. She stiffened her spine and said, “Xiaoxing, greet… greets the crown prince, and the crown prince consort.”
Crown Prince Mo released his grip with a poker face. He pulled the young crown prince consort up and swept a cold look at the servant girl.
That gaze that could freeze three feet under truly seemed like it was directed toward a corpse. It chilled the servant girl Xiaoxing so much that she couldn’t resist shrinking her neck.
Caixiu hurried over in a fluster and forcefully pushed that second-rank servant girl outside. She stepped inside and explained with a salute, “Master, this second-rank servant girl from the Mu Estate is truly too insolent. Please forgive me for disturbing Your Highnesses.”
Qiao Mu gazed coldly at that second-rank servant girl. “Someone come.”
“Yes, Crown Prince Consort.” Palace Lady Jing hastily came over with several elderly female servants from the palace.
“Toss her out. She is not to appear inside this court again.”
“Yes!” Palace Lady Jing quickly ordered those elderly female servants to hoist up the servant girl and drag her outside.
Xiaoxing cried out while flustered and exasperated, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Crown Prince Consort! What are you people doing? You people! Let go of me! I am not from the palace, I am from the Mu Clan! You people cannot treat me like this!”
Nanny Zhou coldly watched this servant girl who courted disaster. She gave a harrumph.
Miss Caixiu had come over to relay the crown prince consort’s order that no one was to enter the inner court without special instructions. They were especially prohibited from taking a single step into the southern room.
Even though everyone was unconvinced, only Xiaoxing this idiot dared to make trouble on the first day.
As a second-rank servant girl, she could only stay in the inner court normally. She definitely could not enter the room.
The first-rank servant girls hadn’t even made a fuss, yet she went ahead and did it.
Did she think no one would know what she was thinking?
Wasn’t it because she saw that the crown prince was tall and peerlessly handsome that she started getting ideas? He was also staying with the crown prince consort in Magnolia Court, so she was trying to devise a way to get close and personal.
Unfortunately, the young crown prince consort was truly not to be trifled with. A single order isolated all the maidservants outside.
Even though everyone’s teeth ached from anger, they weren’t idiots. No one wanted to offend the crown prince consort on the first day.
“Gag her.” Palace Lady Jing knitted her brows. She had never seen such an impertient servant girl.
How dare she make such trouble in front of Their Highnesses the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Consort.
It was evident that the rules in this thousand-year patrician family, the Mu Estate, was not that great.
At Palace Lady Jing’s order, two old stocky women rolled up their sleeves and each gave Xiaoxing a slap to the face. They directly stopped Xiaoxing’s prattling by gagging her with a dirty rag.
The court instantly quieted down.
Everybody also heaved a sigh of relief.
When Nanny Zhou and those four first-rank maidservants turned to look at the crown prince consort again, they saw that little lady look severely toward the servant girl Xiaoxing. It was as if her eyes were holding ice beads. Xiaoxing couldn’t help but shudder.
“Do you want to die?” Qiao Mu’s words were extremely frigid as she stared at her coldly.
