The Gong Prince’s consort learned that Han Qiao had brought a few people to see her. These people were tied up and gagged, and they were even servants of the prince’s residence.
Her expression darkened.
“Bring them over.”
When she saw the Gong Prince’s consort, Han Qiao still bowed respectfully.
“Princess Consort, these people spread rumors on the streets and alleys, slandering me. When they were caught, they arrogantly claimed that they were from the Gong Prince’s residence. Let alone spreading rumors, even if they scolded me, I could only endure it.”
When Han Qiao said this, the Gong Prince’s consort’s face sank.
She glanced at the servants indifferently.
She held Han Qiao’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I will uphold justice for you.”
“With Her Highness’ words, I am at ease.”
Han Qiao naturally knew that this wasn’t something the Gong Prince’s consort ordered people to do.
Most likely, it was those people in the Prince’s residence who couldn’t freeload and wanted to vent their anger on her.
However, she didn’t expect Zeng Asan to catch her before the rumor even started.
Not only did the people she brought to the Imperial Residence serve as a warning,
It was also to teach the mastermind a lesson.
Of course, it also gave the Gong Prince’s consort a chance to deal with her herself.
“In that case, this commoner will take her leave.”
The Gong Prince’s consort asked her most capable housekeeper to send Han Qiao out of the residence.
On the way, the housekeeper comforted Han Qiao, “Don’t worry, Lady Heng. My princess is the most fair and will give you justice.”
“I believe in Her Highness.”
She got on the carriage and left.
Back In the main courtyard…
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, the Gong Prince’s consort felt like they were going to throw up.
“Go and invite His Highness over.”
She was not in a hurry to interrogate him.
She stood under the eaves and looked at the gray sky.
The weather was really cold.
She was a little sad.
She was the princess consort who had been married off in glory, yet a mere concubine was able to use more money than her.
When the Gong Prince came over, he saw her standing under the eaves, her back looking bleak. He walked up to her and said softly, “It’s cold outside. Go inside.”
The Gong Prince’s consort turned to look at her husband.
Her expression was indifferent.
She was no longer as warm and gentle as before.
She nodded indifferently and walked into the house first.
The Gong Prince followed after a moment of silence.
The husband and wife sat on their chairs. When the tea was served, the Gong Prince’s consort took a sip and said, “Madam Han came to see me just now and brought a few servants with her.”
“These dog slaves are very daring, spreading rumors in the streets and alleys. Now that they are kneeling there, does Your Highness want to take care of this matter himself, or should 1?”
As the Gong Prince’s consort spoke, she put down her teacup and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.
The Gong Prince’s heart skipped a beat.
He instantly understood and wanted to hold her hand and comfort her with a few soft words, but Consort Fei avoided his hand.
“Shun Shun…”
The Gong Prince’s consort was stunned.
Her eyes instantly turned red.
She felt extremely uncomfortable by his presence.
They had been married for nearly twenty years, and he called her that for only the first two years. Later on, when the Gong Prince married Concubine Wen, she became the dignified Gong Prince’s consort.
She didn’t have any expectations at first.
She felt that these two words were especially ugly and humiliating when they came out of this man’s mouth.
“Your Highness, I have been keeping my duty all these years and have been wholeheartedly devoted to you. No matter what you do, whether 1 know or not, 1 have always supported you with all my heart. Secondary Consort Wen was born into a small scholar’s family. When she first entered the Prince’s residence, she carried a small bag with her. Now, she has four shops, seven villages, and two residences. She wears gold and silver, and there are countless gold and silver jewelry in her courtyard. She can take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one go.”
“Your Highness, don’t tell me that she obtained all these herself and not from you.”
“As Your Highness’ wife, 1 have married into the royal family with the shop as my dowry. All these years, 1 have never had more than two hundred thousand silver with me.”
“It’s quite sad to think about it.”
“I don’t want to compete with a concubine, but that doesn’t mean 1 don’t mind that my children are not as doted on by my husband as the concubine’s children.”
“When I was young, Mi’er cried and asked me why her father treated her differently from her sister. I can only tell her that she has me.”
“Zhao’er is calm at such a young age because he can see things clearly.”
The Gong Prince’s consort took a few deep breaths.
“Your Highness, when will you give me that much silver? When will you decorate a new courtyard for me, when will you dote on my Zhao’er and Mi’er?”
The Gong Prince’s face darkened.
He wanted to say something to refute…
“Your Highness, she’s right there. It’s your business how you want to deal with her. If 1 were in charge, I wouldn’t show mercy.”
“She’s so young, yet so vicious and despicable. Her behavior is very disappointing and disgusting.”
The Gong Prince’s consort also finally gained an understanding; she would never use her dowry to supplement the Gong Prince.
So what if she poured her heart out?
People might laugh at her for being stupid. She gave so much only for it all to end up going into someone else’s pocket.
She was really stupid.
It was better to give this money to her children. As for her husband…
He did not love her, and she did not love him.
The Gong Prince’s consort stood up and left.
The Gong Prince’s face darkened as he looked at the trembling servants kneeling on the ground.
They didn’t need to investigate much to know who had instructed them.
“Drag him down and beat him to death!” The Gong Prince shouted.
The servant looked into the room and suddenly panicked.
When the Gong Prince got up to leave, Secondary Consort Wen came over crying and knelt down in front of him, “Your Highness, it’s all my fault for not teaching Ya’er well and letting her do such evil things. I’ll go apologize to the Princess Consort now and discipline Ya’er well in the future.”
These words sounded very strange in everyone’s ears.
She came to him so fast.
“You planted spies in the princess consort’s courtyard?” The Gong Prince asked.
Consort Wen panicked.
She opened her mouth and was about to cry about how hard it had been for her.
But before she could, a servant girl was dragged over. Her face was covered in palm prints.
The Gong Prince’s face sank.
This was the servant girl in the Gong Prince’s consort’s courtyard…
For a moment, he felt like he had lost something important.
“Go back to your own courtyard. You are not allowed to take a step out without my orders. As for Wenya… If you can’t teach her well, let the Princess Consort teach her.”
With that, the Gong Prince then left.
Consort Wen was so frightened that her soul was destroyed.
She walked towards her courtyard in a daze.
In the main courtyard, the Gong Prince’s consort only sneered when she heard his words, “He wants me to raise her daughter for him? How dare he!”
Li Wenya was a spoiled girl. She felt annoyed just by looking at her.
She had expected that the Gong Prince would forbid the main culprit, Wenya, from leaving, but instead forbid Secondary Consort Wen from leaving.
He must have thought that he had done the right thing.
If this man couldn’t even figure out this simple problem, could only dream to achieve great things.
Right at that moment, Consort Fei’s mind was exceptionally clear.
She could see through her husband very clearly.
“Mother,” When Li Mi received the news, she saw her mother crying.
She hurriedly went forward to wipe her mother’s tears.
“Mi’er, mother only has you and Zhao’er left.”
“Mother, don’t cry. 1 will always be here, and so will Brother Zhao.. There’s always going to be things that we never expect, so Mother, you should think for yourself and not be sad for us,”
