Chapter 897: Tea for Tea

"What method?" Wan Niang asked."Let's go back to Pearl Garden and talk about it."

Yan Funing glanced around and saw many servants from the palace coming and going not far away. It would be better for them to go back and talk quietly.

"Go back, go back." Fu Nanyao said repeatedly, "Let's be careful."

On the way, Yan Funing went to see her mother-in-law's hand: "Mom, did you get burned just now?"

"It was a little hot, but not enough to burn you." Wan Niang said softly, "Thanks to the fact that we have lived in the countryside for quite some time."

It was also due to the fact that she was blind and had to feel many things with her hands.

I'm used to touching cold and hot things.

Yan Funing felt relieved.

The group walked for quite a while before arriving at the entrance of Mingzhu Garden.

But I didn't expect Long Lihui to just stand there.

Fu Beimo took a step forward and protected his mother, sister-in-law and sister behind him.

Seeing this, Meng Li also stepped forward.

Long Lihui folded his arms and said, "In the palace, my people are everywhere. I advise you to behave yourself, or I will take revenge on you."

The attitude is extremely arrogant.

Fu Beimo snorted and laughed: "You are so old, are you still changing your teeth? Why do you have a lisp when you speak?"

This sentence touched Long Lihui's sore spot: "Fu Beimo, this is not caused by you, how can you say that?"

"You were the one who started the trouble." Fu Beimo took another step forward, "Why, are you dissatisfied that your teeth haven't fallen out enough?"

Long Lihui clenched his fist and swung it out immediately.

Was blocked by Fu Beimo.

"How dare you." Wan Niang shouted.

Long Lihui glanced at her and said, "A blind woman is worthy of competing for favor with my mother?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Beimo punched Long Lihui in the stomach.

Long Lihui covered his stomach and said, "You, you all get out of the palace!"

"Beating you is still too light." Wan Niang smiled lightly, her dignity was intimidating without anger, "You deserve to be beaten for disrespecting your stepmother."

"Princess." Leng Feng came quickly, followed by many people.

Long Lihui felt that he was being unreasonable, and seeing that many guards had already rushed into Mingzhu Garden, he hurriedly led them away.

"Do you want to chase her?" Leng Feng asked.

Wan Niang shook her head: "No need."

The purpose of their trip is to find out the truth of that year. This young man can just be taught a lesson. If he does it again, he will be taught a lesson.

Everyone entered Mingzhu Garden.

Yan Funing said, "Mother, the Concubine Dowager requested that we visit her every morning and evening. We cannot object to her request. But by the same token, mother is now the Princess of Jin, and the concubines in the palace should also visit her every morning and evening."

Fu Nanyao laughed out loud: "Good idea."

"There is no time to lose. While it is still early, we should send people to the courtyards of each concubine to tell them to come." Yan Funing said again.

Wan Niang nodded, "That makes sense." She turned around and ordered, "Madame Li, Housekeeper Yu, send someone to tell them to come, especially Ling."

Yu Liang and Nanny Li agreed.

He immediately sent a servant to pass on the message.

Wanniang returned to the main courtyard of Mingzhu Garden.

It was already quarter of an hour later when the three concubines and several concubines all arrived.

"Greetings, Princess!" The women greeted.

"Everyone, please sit down."

Wan Niang couldn't see who was coming, nor could she tell who they were, so she tilted her head and signaled her daughter-in-law or daughter to tell her.

Yan Funing and Fu Nanyao didn't know how many women were around Prince Jin, but they knew that Ling was not among the people coming before them.

Yan Funing whispered in her mother-in-law's ear: "Ling didn't come."

Wan Niang cleared her throat and said, "Concubine Ling probably thought that since she had been helping me occupy the position of my principal wife for so long, she should be my principal wife. I can't blame her. After all, it has been more than ten years."

The women below saw that the woman sitting in the main seat had a pretty face. Although she couldn't be seen, she had a strong aura.

When they heard her talking about the Ling family, they didn't know how to respond.

After all, although Ling lost her position as the principal wife, she was the niece of the dowager concubine.

Given this relationship, they should be somewhat wary of the Concubine Dowager. Therefore, almost no one agreed with her at this moment.

Wan Niang placed the cup of tea on the table and said, "Someone, go and invite Concubine Ling again. If she doesn't come, you can't blame me for telling the prince about this."

When she mentioned the prince, someone said, "Princess, Concubine Ling might be busy with something."

"No matter how busy you are, you can't miss your morning and evening visits." Wan Niang said in a calm voice, "Madame Li, send someone to invite him."

Nanny Li agreed, and after some thought decided to send two strong men over.

Caiyu winked at her.

Nanny Li ordered Caiyu and Caizhu to go and invite them.

On the way, Caizhu asked Caiyu: "Why are we going?"

"It was the young lady who proposed this. Since we two are good at fighting, it's natural that we should go," Caiyu said.

Caizhu then nodded.

The two came to Ling's yard, but didn't see her.

So they went to the concubine's courtyard.

Ling was shocked to hear that they wanted her to go to Mingzhu Garden to visit her parents morning and evening.

"Look, Concubine Dowager." Ling grabbed the Concubine Dowager's arm.

"What can she do to you?" The concubine said, "Just go and see."

When Ling heard this, she agreed and got up to follow Caiyu and Caizhu to Mingzhu Garden.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold of the main courtyard of Mingzhu Garden, I heard laughter coming from inside.

Ling secretly complained, thinking that Qiao Wanyou had some tricks up her sleeve. She really overestimated her. At this moment, she was probably trying to please the concubines and side concubines.

Come to think of it, what can a blind woman do?

To put it bluntly, she didn't know how to serve the prince.

Thinking of this, Ling was anxious to see what Qiao Wanyou's expression was, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the main house.

In the main house, Qiao Wanyou sat in the main seat.

Several concubines and madams sat on both sides.

Seeing her coming, everyone stopped laughing.

Since Wanniang couldn't see, when Ling entered the main room, Caiyu shouted, "Princess, Concubine Ling is here."

"Here he comes."

Wan Niang raised her hand and motioned to Nanny Li to hand the teacup to Ling.

Ling looked at the teacup handed over by the nanny: "What do you mean, you want me to serve tea?"

"Yes, several concubines and madams have all offered tea and are now waiting for Concubine Ling." said Nanny Li.

Ling's eyes scanned the people present.

Concubine Zhao said, "We did offer tea."

Upon hearing this, Ling took the teacup from Nanny Li's hand.

I never expected the teacup to be so hot.

She touched it and retracted her hand.

The teacup fell to the ground and broke, splashing tea everywhere.

It splashed on her own feet and caused her great pain.

Wan Niang said in a deep voice: "Change to a cup of tea."

"Yes, Princess." Nanny Li turned around and poured tea into a new teacup.

Seeing that the teapot was taken directly from the burning fire, and seeing that the nanny seemed to be thick-skinned and not afraid of the heat, she handed the boiling hot tea to her...

Ling was stunned.

Madam Li smiled and said, "Concubine Ling, serve the tea quickly."

She is an old country woman and is not afraid of heat.

Now she has to pay back what Ling and the Concubine Dowager had done to her princess.

what do you say that is?

An eye for an eye, tea for tea.

Ling stretched out her hand tremblingly, touched the teacup, and still wanted to retract her hand.

She never expected that the nanny in front of her would put the teacup directly into her hand. (End of this chapter)
