Chapter 69 Sweet Talk, False Feelings

Gao didn't expect Zhao Shizhu to speak for Su Ci.

Nanny Tang has been serving Zhuoqing all these years. Nanny Tang contributed a lot to Zhuoqing's adoption of Qingzhuo.

At this point, Zhuo Qing actually wanted to beat Nanny Tang to death in order to please Su Ci?
Nanny Ning saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stood up to defend Nanny Tang: "Although Nanny Tang was wrong, her crime was not punishable by death. The princess wanted to beat the old man next to your highness to death as soon as she entered the palace. If this matter were spread out, it would only damage your highness's reputation. Madam was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so she asked this old servant to bring Nanny Tang to Dingjing Hall."

Zhao Shizhu glanced at Su Ci, then said calmly, "Who said Ah Ci wanted to beat Nanny Tang to death?"

Mrs. Gao and Nanny Ning were both stunned, and the master and servant looked at each other.

As soon as Nanny Tang arrived at Dingjing Hall that day, she said that Su Ci wanted to beat her to death with a stick. They never thought about whether Nanny Tang's words were exaggerated.

Zhao Shizhu saw the expressions of the Gao family's master and servant, so he told them about his conversation with Su Ci. At the end, he said, "Ah Ci is kind-hearted. She treats servants kindly on weekdays. How could she easily beat a servant to death? That day, she just wanted to think carefully before deciding how to punish Nanny Tang, but mother took Nanny Tang away at that time. If this matter is left unresolved, Ah Ci will not be able to set rules in the palace."

Su Ci felt that Zhao Shizhu's trip was not in vain. She had no right to speak in this palace, and even less in front of Gao. Zhao Shizhu made his attitude clear in just a few words, and that was enough.

"I do have an idea here. Mother, please listen to it and see if it is feasible?" Su Ci replied at the right time.

Gao looked at Su Ci, her expression still not looking good.

Su Ci insisted on punishing Nanny Tang, which was tantamount to humiliating her and announcing to the palace that Su Ci was now more capable than her, the madam. How could she accept this?

"Nanny Tang usually serves His Highness. The only female servants serving His Highness are Nanny Tang and Lu Yi. Why don't you let Nanny Tang do some miscellaneous work in Jingyuanzhai for the next two months? This will give Nanny Tang a chance to correct her mistakes. If Nanny Tang admits her mistakes and can correct them, she can return to serve His Highness. If Nanny Tang commits a crime again and doesn't know the rules, she will be sent away from the palace. I wonder what mother thinks of this punishment for Nanny Tang?"

Gao had been in the deep palace for so many years, how could she not know that Su Ci was giving her face this time?
Jingyuanzhai was not a place that any servant could enter. There were only two women working in Jingyuanzhai, one was Lu Yi and the other was Nanny Tang.

Su Ci's punishment was just a light punishment. If no one spoke up, who would know that Nanny Tang was punished?

However, Su Ci added an additional condition: he could let her off this time, but if she committed the same offense again, Nanny Tang would be expelled from the mansion. This was Su Ci's cleverness.

No one can be blamed at that time. It was Nanny Tang herself who did not know how to act. If she is sold out of the palace, it will be her own fault.

Everyone present here is an intelligent person, how could they not understand?

Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci with undisguised admiration in his eyes. This time, without waiting for Gao to reply, he said, "Then give Madam Tang a chance to correct her mistakes. If Madam Tang knows her mistakes and refuses to correct them, she will be expelled from the mansion."

Nanny Tang, who was eavesdropping not far away, had sweat in her palms.

She used to look down on Su Ci, always thinking that a daughter raised by a rough man like Su Lian could not be very capable? Moreover, every time Su Ci saw His Highness, his eyes would light up, which made him look wretched. She didn't expect that Su Ci was actually a powerful person.

Zhao Shizhu spoke up, and Su Ci's punishment was so flawless that Gao had no reason to refuse and could only acquiesce. After sending Zhao Shizhu and Su Ci away, Gao said to Nanny Tang, "You heard what Su Ci said just now. This is the chance she gave you, and it's the only chance. If you dare to disrespect her again next time, I can't protect you and can only send you out of the palace. You take care of yourself."

Nanny Tang responded in a low voice, and said sincerely: "I will do my duty well in the future and will not make the same mistake again. Madam, don't worry, I will always be yours. If you need me, just ask me."

Gao understood the meaning of her words clearly. Nanny Tang was her dog, and she could ask Nanny Tang to monitor Su Ci's every move at any time.

"Go away." Gao waved her hand, signaling Nanny Tang to return to Jingyuanzhai.

After Nanny Tang walked away, Nanny Ning sighed softly, "I was wrong. I didn't expect the princess to be such a powerful character."

Just before today, she thought that the lady could easily control Su Ci.

"So what if he is so powerful? A woman who is not favored by her husband will sooner or later become an abandoned child. Now Su Ci still has value to Zhuoqing. When Zhuoqing achieves his goal, the first person he will deal with will be Su Ci." The lady's old lady recovered at this time.

"This is all about the future. His Highness just protected the princess in every way, but it was nothing more than to maintain a good relationship with the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion. As long as the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion is not overthrown, the princess will have nothing to fear, even if she does not have the favor of His Highness, even if the princess has already become a laughing stock in Liangzhou." Nanny Ning's eyes flickered, "Madam, we have to keep the princess busy."

Gao looked at Nanny Ning and said, "Do you want to bring Su Hua into the palace and into Zhuoqing's backyard as soon as possible?"

"Your Highness did not sleep with the Princess. Although this matter can break the Princess' heart, it does not cause any actual harm. The Princess now holds the power of the Palace, which is not good. The best way at the moment is to let Your Highness favor other beauties. If other women get pregnant, will the Princess be far from losing power? If the one who gets pregnant with Your Highness's child is Miss Su San, the drama will be even more exciting!"

As Nanny Ning spoke, her eyes met with the Madam's.

The master and servant hit it off immediately and decided not to inform Su Ci. They decided to pick a good day to bring Su Hua to the palace.

Su Ci and Zhao Shizhu walked out of Dingjing Hall side by side. Zhao Shizhu lowered his eyes and looked at Su Ci, and asked in a low voice: "Will I wrong you?"

Su Ci was stunned: "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"You didn't punish Nanny Tang severely because you were concerned about your mother, right? I was afraid that you would feel wronged." Zhao Shizhu said seriously.

She was able to use heavy hands against her own brother who framed her, so she was known to be a vengeful person. However, she was hesitant when dealing with Nanny Tang. Even he felt that the punishment was too light.

"How could I feel wronged? I have both pleased my mother and reassured Your Highness. In my heart, no one and no thing is more important than Your Highness!" Su Ci said solemnly.

Zhao Shizhu was completely unprepared and did not expect Su Ci to confess to him suddenly. He felt a little uncomfortable for a moment and did not know how to respond.

"Your Highness is my husband and the pillar of the palace. Your Highness's interests are above everything else in my heart!" Su Ci spoke sweet words to Zhao Shizhu without taking a breath.

She can also be hypocritical!
