Chapter 259 Lin Wannian Enters the Prince's Mansion
The Second Prince's Mansion.
This morning, the plaque of "Prince" in the Second Prince's Mansion has been replaced.
The people from the Ministry of Rites also replaced the size and specifications of the stone lions at the door.
Now, the second prince has been stripped of his prince title and is just a prince. The standards and rules are naturally different from before.
After a busy morning, the Second Prince's Mansion finally quieted down.
Unlike the lively atmosphere at Ye Nanyue and Lu Huaiyang's place, no one dared to come here.
Even those who wanted to watch the fun didn't dare to join in, for fear of being blamed.
They were even more afraid that the palace would think they had some connection with the Second Prince.
Nowadays, no one dares to get involved in anything related to the Second Prince and the Lin family!
I’m afraid of being considered as one of their party.
Everyone feels in danger in the Second Prince's mansion.
Each of the servants was very cautious, fearing that they would do something wrong and be punished by their masters.
However, even so, the Second Princess was angry for the entire morning in the inner courtyard.
When people from the Ministry of Rites and the palace came to check for things that did not conform to the rules, she would get angry whenever she got the chance.
This made the servants below feel uneasy and more cautious.
By noon, these things were over. Obviously, nothing had changed, but at this moment, the Second Prince's Mansion was much quieter.
None of the second prince's concubines dared to come out and bring bad luck upon themselves.
After lunch, a sedan chair was quietly carried into the side door of the Second Prince's Mansion and brought in very low-key.
The sedan chair was followed by a carriage and several servants, all of whom came with the sedan chair.
But even if he went through the side door, he was stopped by the gatekeeper when he reached the door.
After a while, the maidservant beside the Second Prince's Consort... no, now it should be said that the Second Prince's Consort Li Shuyi came in to report, stammering: "Master, Lin, Lin Wannian is here."
Li Shuyi frowned and glanced at the maid coldly with an extremely unpleasant look: "She still dares to come?"
"It's said that it's an oral order from the palace. Today is the time to come." The maid looked at Li Shuyi cautiously.
Li Shuyi sneered, almost laughing out of anger: "Okay, okay! She actually dared to come."
There were so many things going on today that she almost forgot about it and didn't make any arrangements.
"Master, do you want to let her in?" the maid asked again.
Li Shuyi sneered: "Let her wait outside and tell her that there are many things to do at home today and they haven't been arranged yet. Let her in after everything is arranged."
"Yes." The maid responded quickly and went out to make arrangements as if she had been pardoned.
The maidservant beside Li Shuyi came forward and asked, "Your Highness, are you really going to let that little bitch in? His Highness has just been punished. If you deal with that bitch, he won't say anything. If it weren't for that bitch this time, His Majesty wouldn't be so angry."
Li Shuyi has a good family background. The second prince has been punished now, but he will have to rely on the Li family in the future. So no matter what Li Shuyi does, it won't be a big problem.
Li Shuyi sneered and said, "How can we not let her in with the palace's order? Don't we have a small, shabby courtyard in the mansion where we previously arranged for the singing girl? Just let her live there. There's no need to clean and tidy up. Let her do it herself."
"Master, that's what you said. When she comes in, we'll slowly torture her right under our noses." The old woman said harshly, "Such a shameless bitch should be slowly tortured to teach her a lesson."
Li Shuyi covered her mouth, chuckled, and said to the maid, "That's right. Once she's at the mansion, we can slowly train her. It's a pity that she wasn't made a slave. Otherwise, she could be beaten and scolded to death without anyone caring."
The old woman said, "She can't leave anyway. His Highness has been scolded by His Majesty for her this time, so he won't favor her anymore."
"If she hadn't been trying to stir up trouble by sending His Highness to the palace to ask for a reward, none of this would have happened."
Li Shuyi snorted coldly: "From now on, don't send her food from the kitchen. Let her figure out what she wants to eat."
"By the way, how much dowry did she bring?"
The old woman said, "I'll go and find out."
After two incense sticks of time, the old woman came back.
He leaned close to Li Shuyi's ear and said in a low voice, "They brought a carriage full of things. It doesn't look like there are many valuables. I think Minister Lin also feels that his daughter is embarrassed. He brought this carriage full of things because he was afraid that Your Highness would blame him for neglecting them."
"Entering the mansion like this is really no different from being one of those lowly concubines." Li Shuyi sneered.
The maids who were brought up beside her were more respectable than this one.
"I see... that little bitch is waiting quietly outside. She's not anxious at all and is very calm."
The mother-in-law hesitated and said, "Should we take all her dowry to our courtyard so that she will have nothing to rely on in the future?"
Li Shuyi shook her head: "We don't covet that little dowry. If we tell others about it, they will laugh at us."
"Besides, her elder sister is the concubine of the eldest prince, and she is pregnant. If she gives birth to a boy, it will be the first child in the eldest prince's mansion..."
"So, you can't leave any evidence behind when doing things!"
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Shuyi didn't want to let Lin Wannian go because she was afraid of the Lin family, she just didn't want to be too obvious.
"From tomorrow onwards, all her words and actions will be reported back to me."
Li Shuyi said, "Don't give her any allowance. Let them figure out what to eat, drink, and use on their own."
Li Shuyi snorted coldly as she spoke. "If she wants to go out of the house to do some shopping, her servants should go out and ask the gatekeeper to ask for more money. Lin Wannian can't go out by herself. She must be kept under close watch and not allowed to come into contact with His Highness."
"Master, you are so thoughtful. I will do it right away."
Li Shuyi's lips curled up into a mocking smile: "I don't believe how calm she can be. Let's see how long she can pretend!"
Outside the side door, Lin Wannian couldn't stand the suffocation in the sedan chair any longer. She asked Qiu'er to lift the curtain and couldn't help asking, "Hasn't anyone invited us in yet?"
Now are the last few hot days of the autumn heat. It is just past noon and the sun is at its hottest. Lin Wannian's cheeks are burning and her mouth is dry.
"The people inside said we came in a hurry and weren't prepared. They said they needed to clean up the yard and asked us to wait."
Qiu'er said angrily, "How long do we have to wait? They won't give us a definite answer. I think the Second Prince's wife is trying to intimidate us."
As Qiu'er spoke, her eyes became red.
Lin Wannian sneered and said, "I expected this a long time ago. If something happens to the Second Prince, I'm sure most of the blame will fall on me. If they want to make things difficult for me, I've already thought of it. Don't worry."
Now that she had come this far, she warned herself to stay calm and not make any more mistakes.
Since she decided to stay with the Second Prince, and with the memories of her previous life, it was only a matter of time before she would be favored and valued.
I'm just angry for a moment, it's okay!
The second prince is not stupid. Even if he makes a mistake this time, he will slowly discover his own good qualities in the future!
What's the big deal about being a concubine now? When she gets favored in the future, she will teach that bitch Li Shuyi a lesson!
