The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 3 - : Scolding the Shrewish Woman

Ye Qichi stepped out of Xiao Jinxing's sleeping chamber and returned to her own residence within the courtyard, relying on Ye Qichi's memory.

The courtyard was small and located in a remote part of Prince Chen's Mansion; clearly, Xiao Jinxing did not favor her.

She walked into the courtyard.

Before she had time to observe her surroundings, she heard a crying voice, crying so hard that it nearly ran out of breath, "Princess, you're finally back, I thought you would never return..."

While crying, the figure hurried towards An Ning.

Ye Qichi looked at the girl dressed in a green outfit, with twin buns in her hair and a green hairband, all very plain, clearly recognizable as a servant girl at a glance.

It's just that even for a Princess's servant girl, this seemed too shabby.

"Princess, you were taken away by the Prince last night, and the Prince's personal guard didn't allow me to follow, I thought... I thought the Prince would..." The girl couldn't finish her words and started crying again.

Ye Qichi truly couldn't bear the weeping and whining personalities of ancient women.

She said, "Lu You, I'm fine. Help me fetch some water; I want to take a bath."

Lu You, Ye Qichi's dowry maid, remained faithfully loyal to her after she married into Xiao Jinxing's household, since Xiao Jinxing did not favor her. After Ye Qichi's death, Lu You was expelled from Prince Chen's Mansion. Because she was quite pretty, she caught the attention of some local ruffians, was ruined, and eventually chose to end her own life.

As a side character, these plots were glossed over in the book.

Now, thinking about it felt somewhat terrifying.

"Alright, I will prepare it for the Princess immediately." Lu You wiped away her tears and hurried inside the house.

Ye Qichi followed her into the main room.

Just as she entered, she heard a sharp "slap" of a palm strike.

Ye Qichi's eyes narrowed tightly.

Then a harsh voice scolded, "You blind thing, can't you watch where you're going? Are you trying to kill me?!"

It was Lu You who, in her haste, accidentally bumped into an elderly woman.

The old woman wore clothes that were clearly more luxurious than Lu You's, her silver-white hair was neatly coiled into a bun adorned with an expensive jade hairpin, her face was covered with wrinkles, displaying a fierce expression.

"I'm sorry, nanny Liu, it wasn't intentional, I was just rushing to fetch water for the Princess and accidentally bumped into you..."

"Base wretch, still trying to argue!" As she spoke, nanny Liu raised her hand again to strike Lu You.

Ye Qichi's face darkened and she said sternly, "Stop!"

Upon hearing the command, nanny Liu paused her raised hand, sending a slap unexecuted, yet undaunted.

Turning around to face Ye Qichi, she faked a formal gesture, "Princess, I am disciplining the servant and ask that the Princess not interfere."

She clearly did not take Ye Qichi seriously.

"Since when did servants get to discipline other servants!" Ye Qichi spoke coldly, an imposing figure.

Nanny Liu was clearly stunned.

Lu You, with tears still on her face, was also stunned.

The Princess actually dared to shout at nanny Liu.

Nanny Liu was esteemed and privileged, designated by the Empress personally to accompany the Prince from the Imperial Palace to Prince Chen's Mansion when he was enthroned. Not just the Princess, even the Prince would acquiesce to nanny Liu with a degree of deference.

"Nanny Liu, after so many years in the Imperial Palace, don't forget to recognize the basic master-servant relationship!" Ye Qichi scolded.

Nanny Liu was somewhat embarrassed by Ye Qichi's remarks.

In the royal court, the hierarchy of respect is absolute and inviolable.

Nanny Liu's face flushed red, but she did not dare to retort.

Yet, she was secretly surprised by Ye Qichi's transformation.

In the past, Ye Qichi had always been meek before her, fearing that she would speak ill of her to the Prince, making him further disfavor Ye Qichi. Now she treated her in such a manner.

Could it be that she had been deceived!

"I'm feeling a bit unwell; go heat some water and bring it to my room," commanded Ye Qichi, brooking no dissent.

Nanny Liu couldn't believe what she was hearing.

From the Imperial Palace to the Prince's Mansion, she had never been ordered around, relying on her age and relationship with the Empress, no one dared to command her!

Nanny Liu was so angry that she almost had a heart attack, "You ordered me to boil water for you..."

"Servant!" Ye Qichi directly interrupted her, "In front of this princess, mind your own address!"

Nanny Liu's eyes bulged.

The Ye Qichi before her, after spending a night in the Prince's bedchamber, thinks she has ascended to the heavens?!

"Go, now!" Ye Qichi's face darkened once more.

Nanny Liu gritted her teeth.

In public, she did not dare to truly confront the princess; there is a distinction between master and servant, and if it were really investigated, it would be her great disrespect!

But in private, Nanny Liu smirked coldly to herself.

All but Lu You in this courtyard had been bought off by her, she had a thousand methods to torment her.

Nanny Liu's hands were stacked in front of her lower abdomen, and she slightly bowed, "Yes, as your servant commands."

Ye Qichi did not look at Nanny Liu again. This old woman was incredibly vicious, it was she who drove Lu You out of the Prince's Mansion after Ye Qichi's death, causing Lu You's ultimate tragedy. Let's see how she will repay her in kind!

"Lu You, help me inside," Ye Qichi called to Lu You.

Lu You just came out of shock.

She didn't see wrong, did she? The princess actually scolded Nanny Liu.

In the past, it was always the other way around.

Lu You did not dare to delay and quickly helped Ye Qichi into the bedchamber where she resided.

Compared to the luxurious chamber of Xiao Jinxing, this place might as well be a thatched hut.

Ye Qichi scanned the room, and once again cursed Xiao Jinxing's ancestors eighteen generations.

"Princess." In the boudoir, Lu You was somewhat concerned, "The way you treated Nanny Liu just now, won't she retaliate against you?"

She will.

But what can she do?!

She will make sure Nanny Liu suffers more than she could handle.

"Don't worry, I know my limits," Ye Qichi said perfunctorily, as she called to Lu You, "Give me a mirror."

"...Oh." Lu You felt that the princess seemed... different.

But her appearance and figure were still exactly the same.

Lu You handed a copper mirror to An Ning.

Ye Qichi, looking at herself in the copper mirror, was shocked!

This woman is far too, too beautiful!

In the apocalypse, as the young Miss of the An Family, she was also a great beauty, but compared to the woman in the mirror, she paled in comparison.

Look at the delicate, flawless white skin, look at each feature that could be deemed perfect, especially those affectionate eyes and those small, engaging lips, even she, as a woman, felt her heart stir fiercely.

She frowned slightly.

Even the expression of frowning was full of charm.

"Is Xiao Jinxing blind?! Such a beautiful woman, he doesn't want her and even thinks of killing her?!" Ye Qichi couldn't help muttering.

The novel didn't particularly mention Ye Qichi's beauty before, just described how on her wedding day, even the magpies outside fell from the branches due to her looks.

Lu You almost choked on her saliva listening to Ye Qichi's words.

The princess is too... immodest.

Even if it's indeed the truth, one shouldn't speak of it.

A woman should be, after all, reserved and understated.
