The Cold-Blooded Prince's Seductive Consort

  Yuanyue, dressed in a white robe, walked slowly to the front of the madam and slightly bowed. Her cherry lips opened, revealing a gentle voice: "Yuanyue greets you, madam. Hongying has been disobedient just now, it's all because Yuanyue didn't teach her well. I hope madam won't blame her." The tone was neither arrogant nor humble, but extremely warm and gentle.

  This move not only made the madam and others quite surprised, but also made Hongying unexpected. With her martial arts skills, she was more than enough to deal with the maidservants in this courtyard, why did she still need Miss to lower her status to make excuses for her?

  The madam didn't respond to Yuè's words, but instead carefully sized her up, thinking to herself that this little wench was even more stunningly beautiful than before. Comparing her own daughter to Yuè was like comparing a green leaf to a red flower. However, no matter how beautiful she was, having come from the brothel, her body probably wasn't intact anymore. Thinking of this, the madam couldn't help but feel pleased with herself again, it seemed that what she had done back then was right.

  Shui Lianyue also noticed that the madam's mouth was slightly curved, revealing a hint of a triumphant smile. At this point, she understood that her appearance had no effect on the madam, only because when she was in the brothel, it was all arranged by the madam herself. She would naturally think that Shui Lianyue was no longer intact.

  However, I'm afraid it will disappoint the madam.

  Shui Lianyue stood still, her expression unchanged. At this moment, the lady's maid had also found Wu Guan Jia, who hastily rushed over with four sturdy men in tow, their physiques robust and powerful, clearly trained fighters. It was obvious that Wu Guan Jia had come specifically for Hong Ying.

  "The old slave has seen the first madam, the second madam and the third madam." Wu's housekeeper walked into the courtyard, first paying his respects, before walking up to the first madam and bowing humbly: "I don't know why the first madam has summoned me, what is the matter?"

  Such behavior, without putting Water Ripples Moon in her eyes at all, how can she be the young lady of the mansion?

  Shui Lianyue didn't think much of it, still standing quietly, not moving an inch. When she heard Wu Guan's words, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart, thinking that this was obviously intentional, and that's why he brought the Lian family's son over. It seems that this Wu Guan is quite loyal to the madam.

  However, it's also understandable that the madam's father is the current prime minister. Although she is the second daughter, she is still a legitimate child and naturally has reasons for others to curry favor with her.

  "Go and tie up that cheap thing for me", the second lady said without saying another word, pointing at Hong Niang with a vicious expression.

  Wu Guan followed the direction of Madame's pointing finger, originally thinking it was for the fourth young lady, but unexpectedly, it was that servant girl who would get him into trouble. His heart felt a pang of pleasure and he waved his hand at the four house servants, shouting: "Go, tie up that servant girl! How dare she be disrespectful to Madame, this is unbearable!"

  The housekeeper walked towards Hong Ying, and Hong Ying also made a move. It was only then that Shui Lian Yue said indifferently: "Wait."

  "What? You also want to disobey me?" The big madam saw Shui Lian Yue blocking her way, but in fact, she was very pleased. Perhaps it could be said that she couldn't wait for Shui Lian Yue to cause some trouble, so she would have a reason to punish her.

  Shui Lianyue slowly walked up to Hong Ying, glanced at the four family servants standing beside her, and calmly said to Madame: "Hong Ying doesn't seem to have been disrespectful to you, nor has she spoken out of turn. It's just that earlier, that maid relied on your prestige and was extremely arrogant. Think about it, our esteemed Shui Manor can't tolerate a maid being so arrogant. Hong Ying's actions could be seen as teaching that maid a lesson on your behalf."

  Madam didn't expect that Shui Lian Yue would return this time, not only was her personality no longer weak, but also had a sharp tongue. However, the words of Shui Lian Yue were indeed unyielding, Madam thought to herself, how could she be willing to give in?

  "Fourth sister, you're wrong to say that. Not to mention my mother is the mistress of the Water Mansion, but that maid just now was also one of my mother's dowry maids, who grew up with me since childhood. Although she's a maid, our relationship as sisters is stronger than our relationship as master and servant. Moreover, Xin Mei is an old person in the mansion, even if she's being loudmouthed, it's unlikely that Fourth sister's little maid would be the one to teach her a lesson, don't you think?"

  Just as the madam was worried, a clear voice came from behind her. The madam suddenly smiled and showed off her proud attitude again, looking at the person behind her and waving her hand: "Yao'er, you're back, how come you're back so early? Did you have fun playing with Governor Han's daughter?"

  The newcomer was indeed the young mistress's daughter, Shui Mu Yao.

  She was seen with a delicate complexion, wearing a yellow blouse and a kingfisher-green skirt, her hair styled in a high cloud-shaped bun, adorned with a full head of pearls and jade, her figure slender and elegant, her face like a rose in bloom, tender and radiant, her skin even whiter than snow. She walked slowly to the side of the elder lady, her delicate fingers wrapping around the elder lady's arm, smiling coyly.

  "Today's trip to the lake was very delightful, made an appointment with Han Ziqian again, and will go to Puyun Temple to worship tomorrow."

  The madam nodded in satisfaction, her mouth curved into a smile that couldn't be closed. That Han Zixuan was the legitimate daughter of Han Shiming, the General Governor of Kyoto's Imperial Forest Army, and had already been betrothed to someone else - she would become the main consort of Xiang Wang at the end of the year on the eighth day of the first month. It would be beneficial for Yaoyao to get along with her, as it would provide a solid backing in the future.

  "Miss, Hong Ying has put you in a difficult position", Hong Ying was extremely clever and naturally knew that not everything could be solved with force, and that reason was also important. Having just heard Shui Mu Yao's words, she also understood that she had caused trouble for Miss. The rules of the aristocratic family were not to be taken lightly, although they wore fine clothes and ate fine food, there were many strict rules, and even a single careless word could bring about big trouble.

  Shui Lianyue didn't turn around, she just lowered her voice and said faintly: "You know that's good, the rules are everywhere in the mansion, be more careful in the future."

  "Yes, miss," Hong Ying nodded slightly on the surface, but in fact, she was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it again, so as not to cause trouble for the young lady.

  Shui Mu Yao and the madam had a conversation, only then did she look towards Shui Lian Yue. When she saw Shui Lian Yue's appearance, she was also quite shocked. She didn't expect that after so many years, she would have grown up to be such an absolute beauty. Standing beside her, she seemed like a dull star, while Shui Lian Yue shone brightly like the full moon. For a woman who loved her own appearance, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow.
