Li Hongyuan was so furious that his head was spinning. He returned to his own courtyard and drank cold tea to calm himself down.
But there were still people who didn’t know better and came to add fuel to the fire.
Madam Zhao and Palace Maid Fang spoke ill of the Princess Consort in front of him, saying that she didn’t understand the big picture, and relied on her pregnancy to ignore the dignity of both Prince of Yu’s mansion and His Royal Highness. They complained about her willfulness, which was unbearable.
“The Princess Consort’s pregnancy should have been a joyous occasion, but she shouldn’t be so willful.” Madam Zhao sighed, “I am now in charge of the household affairs, working so hard every day that my hands and back are sore. Yet she went back to her maiden home to enjoy a peaceful life.”
Li Hongyuan kept a straight face while holding his teacup: “If you find it too tiring, then don’t do it.”
Madam Zhao’s face changed.
She just wanted to act spoiled so that he would feel bad for her and visit her room at night.
How did it turn out like this…
She didn’t find it tiring, nor did she want to give up the power of the housekeeper!
Madam Zhao hurriedly explained, “Your Highness, I don’t find it tiring, I just…”
“Does my word mean nothing?” Li Hongyuan swept her with a cold glance, and Madam Zhao didn’t dare to make a sound.
To outsiders, the Prince of Yu had a handsome appearance and must have a gentle temperament like a charming young man. Only those close to him knew that he had a bad temper, cold and gloomy.
Palace Maid Fang secretly rejoiced in her heart.
She hadn’t said a word here. If Madam Zhao couldn’t handle the household affairs anymore, then only she was left…
She was a little excited, her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling.
Li Hongyuan called the housekeeper and said, “From today on, promote Ms. Li to Maid Teng and temporarily put her in charge of the household affairs.”
The housekeeper was slightly surprised but immediately complied.
Madam Zhao and Maid Fang were completely dumbfounded.
They had heard that the Princess Consort went back to her maiden home and had come to gloat, as well as to catch more glimpses of His Royal Highness to make him visit their rooms at night.
Who would have thought that they would not only fail to please His Royal Highness but also lose the power of the housekeeper!
It was bad enough to lose the power, but how could they let Ms. Li, that little slut, take their place?
She appeared delicate and weak, with a pair of misty eyes that made people feel pity for her. But in the eyes of the two palace maids, she was nothing more than a foxy seductress, a slut.
In comparison, the Princess Consort’s laziness and straightforwardness were more likable.
Originally an ordinary girl without fame, she suddenly became Maid Teng, with a higher status than them.
What was going on?
Were they here to help her?
It was infuriating!
Madam Zhao was so aggrieved that she fell ill,
saying she had a headache and couldn’t get out of bed. She sent a servant to tell His Royal Highness and asked him to visit her.
When the servant came back, she told Madam Zhao that Maid Teng was with Li Hongyuan.
Madam Zhao gritted her teeth in anger: “Well done, Ms. Li, you’ve really reaped the benefits! I won’t let this go!”
Palace Maid Fang said, “His Royal Highness likes her the most, there’s nothing we can do. She’s so disrespectful and ignores even the Princess Consort.”
“The Princess Consort? She’s useless too! As the main wife, she can’t even deal with a little slut like that!” Madam Zhao cursed in anger.
Palace Maid Fang sighed, “With the Princess Consort not here, Ms. Li has taken advantage of the situation. If we had known, we wouldn’t have said anything in front of His Royal Highness, and instead have begged him to bring the Princess Consort back. The Princess Consort is pregnant, can’t she suppress that little slut?”
“What’s the use of saying this now?” Madam Zhao rubbed her temples, “I can’t just let it go, I need to think of something.”
