Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife-Chapter 1170 - 1167 Spanking
Chapter 1170: Chapter 1167 Spanking
“Why bother arguing over a concubine’s daughter like Aunt Qiao, it’s all just for favoritism. With Her Highness the Elder Princess around, what can she even vie for? It’s nothing more than that bit of silver. Even the Young Prince spends more on meals daily than she does in a month; why must you bicker with her?”
“I just can’t stand seeing her purposely use the Little Prince to provoke the Young Prince. She has the Little Prince’s favor, so be it, but why act so vilely and poke at the Young Prince’s wounds? It’s too much.”
“Alright, alright, stop talking about this and focus on healing your injuries. Don’t you know that the Young Prince’s safety is of utmost importance to Her Highness the Elder Princess? This time, it was because of your loyalty that Her Highness didn’t punish you. If there’s another incident, Her Highness surely won’t keep you around.”
Upon hearing this, the Wet Nurse immediately became anxious and hurriedly promised, “I won’t be foolish again in the future. Please explain things to Her Highness on my behalf.”
Meanwhile.
The Elder Princess questioned Hai Mei once more.

Upon confirming that the events were just as the Wet Nurse described,
The Elder Princess laughed in anger. Aunt Qiao dared to openly harm the Young Prince, was it not because she herself had been too lenient lately?
“Summon someone, take Aunt Qiao to the manor outside the city, away from the Little Prince. No one is to allow them any contact,” Her Highness the Elder Princess commanded sternly.
Nanny Song and the others were startled.
“Your Highness, doing this will only make the Little Prince even angrier, and in the end, it will be the Young Prince who suffers,” Nanny Song spoke up against the pressure, trying to persuade her, “How about this instead? Since the Little Prince has been relieved of his duties recently and has nothing much to do, why not let him stay with Aunt Qiao at the manor outside the city?”
“Your Highness must know that among the common people, there isn’t a husband and wife who haven’t quarreled, but in the countryside, they lack silver, so as long as the wife doesn’t make a grave mistake, the husband wouldn’t send her away.”
“However, the Little Prince is different. He has been of high status since childhood and Aunt Qiao, after all, is just a concubine, merely a beauty. She is not indispensable to him.”
“Besides, this servant always felt that Aunt Qiao loves to pretend. Given enough time, the Little Prince will surely see her true nature.”
“But we need to make the Little Prince willing to live with Aunt Qiao. Don’t give them any silver; let them rely solely on their own labor for food and clothing,” Nanny Song said much, afraid that the Elder Princess might become impatient, she dared not delay further: “These are just the ramblings of this servant; it’s entirely up to Your Highness to decide.”
Her Highness the Elder Princess hesitated, “Wouldn’t such a move become the subject of ridicule?”
“Your Highness, have you forgotten? Recently, the Emperor has been overjoyed with the discovery of the high-yielding rice variety, and he is even asking officials to look into other high-yielding crops.”
“As your child, the Little Prince should show some performance.”
“Indeed.” The Elder Princess was actually quite strict with her children. On hearing this, she agreed.
Just at that moment, the Little Prince Huo Zixing arrived.
“Mother, what happened to Yan Yi? Why are Aunt Qiao and Lingcheng kneeling on the ground?” Huo Zixing entered, wearing luxurious attire and frowning in question.
The Elder Princess looked at his handsome face, one that clearly had never suffered hardships, as if he had just come from the painting studio. Usually, he would prefer to stay in the painting studio to paint, rather than coming to see his son.
She sneered inwardly but showed a pained expression, “The doctor just examined your son and said that Yan Yi barely escaped death. What do you have to say about this matter?”
“What? How could this happen? What exactly is going on?” Although Huo Zixing didn’t like his son Huo Yanyi, feeling that the Elder Princess favored him too much, and despite him being grown up, he remained a weakling at heart.
