Chapter 60 Aunt Bai intercepts Shi Zhu

The smile that Su Ci forced herself to smile dimmed in an instant, and she remained silent.

"What's going on?" Zhao Shizhu asked upon seeing this.

Su Ci shook his head gently: "I just don't want to live in a new house..."

Si Xue had already colluded with Su Ci to give her testimony. Seeing Su Ci's vague glance at her, she said indignantly, "Isn't it Nanny Tang who is deliberately trying to anger the princess?"

Zhao Shizhu had never thought that Su Ci's move to the West Side Hall was actually related to Nanny Tang. Seeing that Su Ci stopped Sixue from continuing, he ordered Sixue, "Sixue, continue."

Si Xue received the order and told the whole story like pouring beans: "The second day after the wedding, His Highness was not in the palace, and the servants in the palace were talking about the princess behind her back. Nanny Tang was even more excessive. She ran to the princess and said that the new house was previously an empty house, and His Highness had never lived there before. He chose such a poorly lit house as the new house because he wanted to get rid of the princess. The princess was of course unhappy to hear this, and I also felt that the new house was unlucky, so I instigated the princess to move to the west side hall to live, and everything was my fault."

Her words were half true and half false. Moving to the west wing hall was done at her behest, but every word that Nanny Tang said was true.

"I live quite well in the west wing hall. Your Highness, meals are important. You don't need to worry about these unimportant matters." Su Ci seemed to want to change the subject.

Si Xue was unyielding and continued to complain: "Madame Tang had previously told the princess that Aunt Wang was looking for the Madam Dowager. She looked so arrogant that people who didn't know her would think that Madame Tang was a relative of Aunt Wang..."

At that moment, she even repeated to Zhao Shizhu in vivid detail what Nanny Tang had said to ridicule Su Ci.

No wonder the girl was so calm and didn't seem angry at all. It turned out that she had already thought of a way to deal with the old hag.

The old lady is the Dowager's person and is also valued by His Royal Highness Prince Duan. If the girl deals with her easily, she will lose face in front of the Dowager.

If the old woman was dealt with by His Royal Highness Prince Duan, it would be a different situation.

Zhao Shizhu didn't expect that Nanny Tang, who was usually kind and gentle in front of him, would have such an expression in front of Su Ci. He looked at Nanny Tang with a sharp gaze.

Nanny Tang's legs softened, knowing that the situation was pressing, and she had to give in at this juncture: "I, I was just worried that the princess would not know the rules since she had just entered the palace, so I said a few more words, and I had no ill intentions, please understand, Your Highness."

Zhao Shizhu's expression was inexplicable, which made Nanny Tang feel very nervous.

She had served His Highness for these years, so she knew His Highness's temper. On the surface, he looked kind, but in fact, he was not easy to deal with. His Highness had been lenient with her over the years, firstly because she was sent by the Madam to serve him, and secondly because she was loyal to His Highness, and His Highness remembered their old friendship.

"Since Ah Ci has married me, she is my first wife, and the mistress of the palace. She follows the rules in the palace, so what rules does she need to learn? The nanny is committing an insubordination and being disrespectful to the princess. She will be fined half a year's salary. Jingyuanzhai does not need the nanny's service recently." Zhao Shizhu quickly gave an order.

Nanny Tang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this was not too bad, the punishment was not too severe. When His Highness calmed down, she would be able to return to serve His Highness.

"It is my fault that I did not discipline my subordinates strictly. This is my punishment for Madam. Madam was disrespectful to the princess, so the princess should punish Madam personally." Having said this, Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci, "You can punish Madam however you want. You don't need to consider mother's side."

Su Ci had long thought that Zhao Shizhu might let this matter go, but she didn't expect that after punishing Nanny Tang, he would ask her to punish her again personally.

"Then can I beat the nanny to death with a stick?" Su Ci was curious about Zhao Shizhu's bottom line.

Nanny Tang was shocked and looked at Su Ci in disbelief. Zhao Shizhu had not expected Su Ci to be so direct. Nanny Tang had served him for so many years, and he still remembered the old relationship: "Is there any way to punish Nanny without taking her life?"

Su Ci looked straight at Zhao Shizhu: "Does that mean it's okay to injure or maim him?"

Nanny Tang clenched her fists. She didn't expect that Su Ci, who looked kind, could be so vicious.

Zhao Shizhu also had a headache, but he had already said it, and he couldn't go back on his word. Besides, it was indeed Nanny Tang who committed an offense against her superiors, which was unforgivable.

"You make the decision." Zhao Shizhu replied calmly.

Su Ci thought that Zhao Shizhu was really cruel. She also knew some of Zhao Shizhu's past from the comments. She heard that when Nanny Tang was serving Gao, she saw Zhao Shizhu being bullied by the servants in the harem. After seeing Zhao Shizhu, Nanny Tang mentioned this to Gao. Gao had been in the palace for many years without any children, so she came up with the idea of ​​adopting Zhao Shizhu.

To be precise, Nanny Tang can be regarded as one of Zhao Shizhu's saviors. But Zhao Shizhu could easily abandon Nanny Tang, a loyal servant, in order to help her vent her anger. It must be said that the male protagonist is the male protagonist, and he is cruel enough!

Su Ci looked at the pale-faced Nanny Tang and decided to ignore this old hag.

"Your Highness's meals are important. I don't have much experience in managing servants. I'll ask Si Xue and Mother Tao for their opinions later." Su Ci said as he served Zhao Shizhu a bowl of soup. "This is the meal I asked the chef to prepare. Knowing that Your Highness is usually frugal, I only prepared three dishes and one soup. They are all Your Highness' favorites. Your Highness, please try them."

Zhao Shizhu didn't expect Su Ci to always remember to be frugal. He used to think she was a spoiled young lady, but now it seems that he was wrong.

[See? There is light in Zhao Shizhu's eyes when he looks at Su Ci! ]

[I can only say that Su Ci is very calculating. I suspect that Su Ci wants to deceive Zhao Shizhu into taking both his body and his heart.]

[If someone like Su Ci enters the harem, he will definitely be a master of palace fighting! ]

……

Su Ci glanced at the comments and didn't understand why they thought she wanted to deceive Zhao Shizhu's body and mind. It was just because she knew that Zhao Shizhu would become the emperor in the future, so she lived on the principle of not offending him if possible.

No matter how handsome Zhao Shizhu's body is, she is not interested, right?
After dinner, Su Ci stood up and said, "I will take Your Highness back to the main hall."

Zhao Shizhu looked sideways when he heard this.

He was worried about tonight. He was not mentally prepared to sleep with Su Ci. But if they didn't sleep together, he couldn't justify it.

"Didn't His Highness just marry Bai? I must go sit in Bai's room first, otherwise my mother will think that I am monopolizing His Highness." Su Ci said with a smile.

Coincidentally, just as she finished speaking, Qi Xi came in and said that Shuang'er, the maid serving in Hexu Zhai, wanted to see her.

After Shuang'er came in, she knelt down in front of Zhao Shizhu and reported: "Madam Bai just fainted. I am at a loss and don't know what to do, so I came to ask to see Your Highness."
