Chapter 25 A hard slap in the face

"It's just that, Qing'er, I know the situation of this wet nurse's family. She has a crying child waiting for her to take care of her. If she really goes to jail and loses her life, the child will be left without a mother. It's really pitiful."

"Qing'er, just think of it as accumulating blessings for our longevity. There's no need to report it to the authorities, right?" Xu Jinhuai said in a gentle and persuasive manner.

Princess Chaoyang looked at Xu Jinhuai with some grievance, pulled her hands away, and said helplessly: "In this case, then let's not report it to the police. However, she was so bold as to dare to steal things from the princess's mansion, she must not be let off easily."

"Besides, I definitely won't dare to keep this person in the yard any longer."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuai felt relieved.

It seems that Princess Chaoyang still obeys his orders as before.

Maybe he was too suspicious a few days ago.

He looked at Princess Chaoyang tenderly and said, "Of course, why not give her twenty strokes of the cane and then drive her out of the mansion? What do you think, Qing'er?"

Princess Chaoyang was a little dissatisfied, but still nodded, "Just do as the prince consort said."

Twenty strokes of the cane? Wouldn't that mean she would be beaten to pieces? The nurse was immediately unhappy and crawled to Xu Jinhuai, crying and begging, "Sir, I am innocent. I am really innocent. I should not be caned."

Xu Jinhuai's face darkened instantly, and he looked at the nurse dangerously and said, "Shouldn't you be caned? Do you want to be sent to the authorities?"

"Or do you think that Qing'er, the Princess Mingyang, would wrongly accuse a commoner like you?"

The wet nurse was speechless for a moment. The prince consort was right. No one believed that a princess would wrongly accuse an ordinary woman like her.

But she was really wronged.
Seeing that the nurse no longer cried out for injustice, Xu Jinhuai continued, "The princess has shown leniency because you have a young son. You should be grateful."

"If you irritate Qing'er again and she insists on sending you to the authorities, I won't care."

The nurse gritted her teeth and dared not say a word of injustice. Although she didn't want to be beaten, she didn't want to be sent to the authorities even more, otherwise she would be finished.

So she said with tears in her eyes: "I thank the princess for not sending her to the government, and I thank the prince consort for pleading for me."

"Someone, drag the wet nurse out and give her twenty strokes of the cane." Xu Jinhuai shouted to the outside of the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, two servants brought with him by Xu Jinhuai came in and tried to drag the wet nurse out.

"Fight from a distance, be careful not to disturb the princess's peace." Xu Jinhuai deliberately ordered.

The nurse's eyes lit up instantly. Could it be that the Prince Consort wanted to...
Princess Chaoyang naturally saw through Xu Jinhuai's intentions. She looked at Juxiang and said, "Juxiang, you follow me too. Count them clearly for me. Twenty times, not one less."

"If anyone dares to cheat, he and the nurse will be punished together."

When the wet nurse and Xu Jinhuai heard this, their expressions changed, but no one dared to say anything.

Seeing the wet nurse being dragged out, Xu Jinhuai also made an excuse to leave without even looking at Xu Yaoyao.

He was worried that if he stayed any longer, Princess Chaoyang would bring up the matter of the silver again.

Soon, the nurse's shrill screams were heard from the mansion.

In order to avoid being beaten together with the wet nurse, the two servants beat her with all their might.

After beating the nurse twenty times, Juxiang ordered the nurse to be thrown out of the princess's mansion before returning to the courtyard to report.

She was always quick-witted, and asked in confusion, "Princess, why did you go to so much trouble to drive this nurse out of the house?"

"Is it because she has been in the outer room?"

Princess Chaoyang didn't know how to explain it. After all, no normal person could believe that she could hear Yaoyao's thoughts, so she smiled and said, "It's not just that."

"This nurse is always sneaky and always wants to get close to Yaoyao. I'm worried that she is not a good person and wants to hurt Yaoyao."

"What? This nurse actually had such evil intentions." Juxiang's face was filled with anger, and her voice became much louder. "She should have been kicked out earlier."

Princess Chaoyang laughed coldly and said, "Didn't she get kicked out once and then sent back by her husband again?"

Although Juxiang was quick-witted, she was also smart and understood it immediately. She looked at the princess with admiration and said, "Princess, you are so smart. This way, the prince consort will no longer be able to find an excuse to push the wet nurse back."

Xu Yaoyao also looked at Princess Chaoyang with admiration in her eyes, clapping her little hands loudly.

[It turns out that it wasn't the wet nurse who stole the hairpin, it was my mother who asked the wet nurse to steal the hairpin! ]

[Mother is really too smart. She actually discovered that the wet nurse had ulterior motives.]

[Moreover, the major hidden danger of the wet nurse was solved without making any noise. ]

[Mother, this is a great move. As expected of someone who grew up in the palace, she is even more cunning than Zhen Huan.]

【I can finally sleep peacefully. 】

The original author is so toxic that he turned such a smart mother into a stupid love-brained person.
Princess Chaoyang:.
Who is Zhen Huan? Is she cunning?
Is her daughter praising her, or?

Well, just think of it as my daughter praising her.

Princess Chaoyang found that since her daughter's voice was with her, the depression in her heart had improved a lot.

Yaoyao is truly the best gift God has given her.

"Ying San." Princess Chaoyang called out softly after sending away all the other maids in the room. Suddenly, a secret guard appeared in the room.

"The wet nurse has just been beaten with twenty boards, her skin is torn and flesh is exposed. She must not have gone far. You should catch up with her and take her to a safe place and have someone keep her under guard." Princess Chaoyang ordered.

"Oh, right, let's use some tricks to thoroughly interrogate that wet nurse and find out what her purpose is in getting so close to Yaoyao."

"Yes, Princess." Ying San took the order and left.

Like Ying Yi, Ying San was a secret guard given to Princess Chaoyang by Emperor Mingde. They were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also reliable in their work.

Juxiang couldn't help but praise: "Princess, you are wise. I almost forgot about this."

"This wet nurse not only has contact with the mistress, but she is also dishonest on weekdays. She needs to be interrogated thoroughly."

Princess Chaoyang nodded slightly.

[Amazing, amazing, my mother is really very considerate. 】

[As long as mother carefully interrogates this wet nurse, she will definitely confess the fact that her scumbag father and the mistress asked her to change the child.]

[Then my mother will know the true face of my scumbag father and the affairs of his mistress.]

[Maybe my mother will wake up from her love-brainedness, divorce her scumbag father, and stop being cannon fodder. ]

Peace and separation?

A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Princess Chaoyang's mouth.

In the Fusu Kingdom, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, even for a man married to a princess. So if she divorced her husband simply because he had a mistress, people would think she was being unreasonable by relying on her status as a princess, and it might even cause her brother the emperor and the queen mother to be scolded along with her.

Back then, the news that she wanted to break off the engagement in order to marry Xu Jinhuai spread throughout the entire Fusu Kingdom, causing her reputation to be seriously damaged.

Now, she can no longer do stupid things that would ruin her reputation.
