Seeds

Li Hongyuan remained silent.
He knew the temperament of this Consort far too well.
Busy?
The busy she meant was probably just eating sunflower seeds, listening to opera, or simply lazing around.
With such a cold temperament, she wouldn’t even treat her own son, let alone the Emperor, hospitably unless she was in the mood.
If she was in the mood she would entertain, but if she wasn’t, she would claim to have a headache and not see anyone.
With this kind of temper, it was truly a miracle that she could maintain her position for twenty years without decline.
“I shouldn’t have disturbed the Queen Mother, but what should I do with Nanny Wei…?” he asked.
Nanny Wei was still kneeling, her face tearful and covered in dirt.
She deliberately made herself look like this, just to make Concubine Jin feel pity for her.
However, she still did not understand her old master.
Concubine Jin frowned: “So dirty, take her away.”
Li Hongyuan said: “I don’t want her, so I’ll leave her with Concubine Mother.”
“She is your wet nurse, who else would want her if not you?”
“Isn’t she one of Concubine Mother’s people? How else would she come to ask you for help when she was wronged?”
“You are too heartless,” Concubine Jin said lightly. “Besides, wasn’t she bullied by your wife?”
“It wasn’t Jiang Ning who bullied her; it was she who harassed Xiaoqian first. Jiang Ning stepped in because she couldn’t stand it.”
“Are you speaking for your wife?” Concubine Jin looked at him with a hint of a smile, “I thought you didn’t like her.”
“It’s not about whether I like her or not. I’m just being objective.”
“Fine.” Concubine Jin stretched lazily. “Since she is an evil servant who bullies her master, I don’t want her here. If you don’t want her, just deal with her as you wish.”
Nanny Wei’s face changed, and she hurriedly kowtowed, “Please, Your Highness, save me! I know I was wrong!”
Concubine Jin frowned slightly: “My good mood for the day has been ruined. Take her away.”
Li Hongyuan gave a look to the eunuchs on both sides.
The eunuchs immediately came over and dragged Nanny Wei out.
“This son takes leave.”
After Li Hongyuan’s bow, he turned and left.
Concubine Jin continued to eat sunflower seeds without paying any attention.
When Li Hongyuan came out, the eunuch asked him how to deal with Nanny Wei.
Weiping cried as she knelt down, “Having raised you, please spare me this once for the sake of our past relationship.”
“You dare to lay your hands on the emperor’s eldest grandson? Shall I keep you on to continue bullying my Master?” Li Hongyuan coldly ordered the eunuchs, “Send her to work in the Clothing Bureau, and she need not come out after that.”
With that one sentence, Nanny Wei’s future was ruined.
Her dream of spending the rest of her life living comfortably and arrogantly because of her status as Prince of Yu’s wet nurse was now dashed.
The eunuchs dragged her away mercilessly.
Li Hongyuan withdrew his gaze and left indifferently.
Nanny Wei struggled and cried out not to be sent to the Clothing Bureau.
The eunuch kicked her and scolded her, “You old hag, if it weren’t for Master’s generosity, you would be nothing but a lowly servant. Yet you still bully the Master. Aren’t you courting death? I advise you to behave yourself or you won’t live long!”
Nanny Wei felt utterly hopeless and stopped struggling.
Only at this moment did she realize that Prince of Yu’s cold and ruthless persona was not an act.
At Crystal Clear Manor.
Li Teng arrived with the steward’s wife and brought the monthly allowance.
From Jiang Ning, to the maids below, and even Jiang Fu’s family of three, no one was left short.
Ms. Li feigned a kneel, and respectfully kowtowed to Jiang Ning, saying softly, “This servant should have come sooner to kowtow to the Princess Consort….”
