The Poisonous Consort, the Regent's Beloved

Chapter 116 The Madam's Instructions

The two people inside, upon hearing this, looked completely unconcerned and immediately tried to close the door.

However, Biluo reacted quickly, kicking the door shut and blocking it.

The two servants strained with all their might but still couldn't close the door. They were horrified to discover that Biluo's strength was so great that they couldn't resist it.

"What do you want to do?"

One of the servants mustered his courage and asked.

The other servant shrank back nervously.

Su Fuying didn't want to deal with them. She didn't know what was going on with the old lady and just wanted to go and check on her as soon as possible.

So she stepped forward and said to the two servants, "Make way."

Her voice was calm and firm, carrying an unquestionable authority.

The woman stepped forward, her sharp gaze piercing through the crack in the door as she looked at the two people inside.

Her eyes were icy cold, as if they could pierce through one's soul.

The two servants were startled by her gaze and involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Princess, Princess..."

They stammered, their hearts filled with fear.

Su Fuying gave them a cold look, then pushed the door open forcefully.

Her movements were clean and smooth, without any hesitation.

"Halt! The madam has ordered that no one is allowed to enter today."

Another voice rang out, and an unfamiliar servant boy strode over, followed by four men wielding sticks.

Seeing this scene, Su Fuying's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that something extraordinary had happened in the manor, hence the tight security.

If the soft approach didn't work, then they had to resort to the hard one. The master and servant exchanged a glance and were just about to make their move when they heard a familiar voice coming from behind the servant.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, the servants moved aside to make way for him, saying, "Steward Wang."

The servant who brought the people immediately explained, "The princess wanted to force her way into the Minister's residence, and I was just following orders."

"On orders? On whose orders?"

Butler Wang's gaze swept over the man before meeting Su Fuying's calm and indifferent eyes.

"It was Madam's order."

The servant was somewhat puzzled. Steward Wang was now the madam's confidant, so how could he not know about this matter? However, due to his position, he still answered honestly.

"Nonsense! This is a princess. Did the madam's orders forbid the princess from entering?"

Butler Wang sternly reprimanded the servant, who trembled in fear. Composing himself, he continued, "But Madam said..."

"Is the lady more important or the princess?"

"The county lord."

"Give Way"

At Steward Wang's command, the servants hesitated, but Steward Wang was, after all, a senior servant of the master and now a trusted person of the mistress, so they certainly couldn't afford to offend him.

The servants quickly made way for Su Fuying, who walked straight into the mansion.

Biluo and Butler Wang followed behind. When they saw that no one was behind them, Butler Wang took a few steps forward and followed Su Fuying to her side.

"The lady now reigns supreme in the manor; the master hasn't left the courtyard for several days."

"Has the matter been investigated and clarified?"

Su Fuying didn't pay attention to this topic. She glanced at the bowing Butler Wang and asked casually.

Butler Wang stiffened, his face turning grim. "It's all been found out."

It was Liu Hui's wet nurse, Granny Gui, who ordered the death of his sister, Granny Wang.

Some say that Su Fuying pleaded for Wang Pozi that day, but due to the severity of the punishment, Wang Pozi still did not survive.

Both he and his sister were working for Liu Hui, and it was Liu Hui who instructed Granny Wang to mistreat Su Fuying. Unexpectedly, they ended up with bad ends.

Since she is unkind, don't blame yourself for being unjust.

Thinking of this, a sinister glint flashed in Steward Wang's old eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He then lowered his tone and continued, "I have wronged the princess before, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

Su Fuying smiled slightly. "It's nothing. What's wrong, Grandmother?"

“Yesterday, when I went out on business, I heard that my grandmother had gone to the master’s courtyard and then fell ill and never recovered.”

Butler Wang recounted everything that had happened yesterday in detail.

"Did the old lady see Su Chengde?"

Su Fuying frowned and asked.

"No, no one can see the master except the madam."

Upon hearing this, Su Fuying's tense heart instantly calmed down, and she slowed her pace.

"Go and do something for me."

Su Fuying looked at Steward Wang and gave him instructions.

......

The two arrived at the old lady's courtyard shortly afterward. Seeing that there was no one guarding it, they went straight inside.

"Madam, oh dear, wake up!"

Before we even got close, we could hear Granny Zhang's wailing.

Su Fuying felt a sudden tightness in her chest; could she have been mistaken?

He strode forward, gave the door a gentle push, and it creaked open.

Only then could they see the situation inside the room clearly. The old lady was lying on the bed with a pale face, and Zhang Mama was kneeling beside her, crying. There was also an unfamiliar maid standing in the room.

Su Fuying frowned slightly. The people inside looked in response to the sound, and Zhang Mama immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess Yongle."

The maidservant standing nearby also bowed upon seeing this.

"Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

Su Fuying stared intently at the maid's face.

"This servant is Hua'er, the new head maid."

The flowers had their eyes slightly lowered and their expressions humble, making it impossible to find fault with them.

"You may leave now. I will keep my grandmother company for a while."

Su Fuying waved her hand, then walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

“Your Highness, now that you have severed ties with the Minister’s Mansion, the old lady is no longer your grandmother. It would be best for this servant to stay out of the way and watch over things.”

Xiao Hua spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, showing no sign of wanting to leave.

Biluo looked at Xiaohua in shock; she hadn't expected this maid to be so bold.

"It seems my words have no effect on your Minister's Mansion."

Su Fuying narrowed her eyes, staring intently at Xiaohua, exuding a dangerous aura.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman suddenly smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Xiaohua immediately felt a chill in her hands and feet.

But then she remembered something, secretly pinched her palm, and mustered her courage to continue, "This servant wouldn't dare, this servant is only acting under orders."

"Be bold!"

Su Fuying suddenly raised her voice, and with a loud bang, the small stool beside the bed was slammed down by Su Fuying and immediately shattered into pieces.

Xiao Hua stiffened, nervously clenching her sleeves. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Su Fuying's voice, devoid of any warmth.

“Insubordination, Biluo, drag her away.”

Xiao Hua looked up at Su Fuying in disbelief, "Princess, I am Madam's person, how dare you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Biluo slapped her across the face. Seeing that she still wanted to resist, she slapped her again on the other side of her face.

Xiao Hua's nose immediately started bleeding profusely, and Bi Luo grabbed her hair and dragged her out.

The room fell silent instantly. Su Fuying turned to look at the old lady on the bed, her tone somewhat helpless, "She's gone, can you get up now?"
