BXBX NOVEL Chapter 179 - 179: I’ll Make You Drink
“Oh, oh, oh, I understand now!”
The housekeeper took the food box and left quickly.
Li Hongyuan returned to the study in a foul mood and was even more impatient when he saw Ms. Li and Ms. Fang. He ordered them to leave. He took a sip of tea and found it scalding hot.
Everything just seemed to irritate him.
Chashan carefully suggested, “Why doesn’t Master apologize to the Princess Consort?”
“Why should I apologize?”
“Are you jealous, Master?” Chashan chuckled, “You weren’t like this before. Ever since the Princess Consort arrived, you’ve become so irritable. It’s not like you.”
“When she wasn’t here, the mansion was so peaceful. Now there are so many problems. It’s just annoying.”
“In the past, you told me that when a woman is being troublesome, just let her be. You never wasted your time with women, so why are you always having an issue with the Princess Consort? Is it because you care about her in your heart?”
“Care about her?” Li Hongyuan sneered, “Such a flirtatious woman, fooling around with other men, unclear, vague, and murky. I’ve been enduring her for the sake of the child she’s carrying. Once the child is born, I’ll send her back where she came from!”
Chashan dared not make a sound.
Li Hongyuan added, “Also, she’s not allowed in the kitchen to make anything anymore!”
He was the Prince of Yu, the master of this mansion, so when he ordered that the kitchen be off-limits to Jiang Ning, no one dared to disobey.
When Jiang Ning tried to go in again, she found the kitchen door tightly closed.
The head chef was in a difficult position.
Everyone liked her, but they couldn’t disobey the Prince’s orders.
If they wouldn’t let her in, Jiang Ning planned to build a small kitchen in the Crystal Clear Manor herself. After all, it wasn’t like she didn’t have the money.
On her way back, she overheard two servants talking about how the housekeeper had thrown her dim sum to the dogs.
Jiang Ning said, “Xiaoman, call them over and ask them what’s going on.”
Xiaoman immediately went over, grabbed both women, and brought them over.
It didn’t take much effort to get the truth out of them.
Jiang Ning ordered Xiaoman to push her in the direction of Misty Cloud Pavilion, where they happened to meet Li Yuanyuan bringing tea to Li Hongyuan.
She took off her shoe and hurled it at her.
Li Yuanyuan screamed, and the tea spilled all over the floor.
“Master, my hand…” Li Yuanyuan cried out.
Li Hongyuan’s face darkened, “Jiang Ning, what’s your problem now?”
“You fed the food I made to the dogs, didn’t you? Why would you do such a thing?”
Li Hongyuan looked at the door.
The housekeeper hurried in and knelt with a thud, “Princess Consort, please calm down. I did it, as my mind was blinded by stupidity at that moment. I am guilty!”
“Housekeeper, I understand your loyalty to the Prince, but you don’t have to take responsibility for this. After all, the Prince is not someone who would do something and not take responsibility for it.”
“It was me who ordered the housekeeper to do it.” Li Hongyuan said coldly.
“Why?”
“Don’t forget that you are now the Princess Consort of Yu, not that lame girl from before! If you don’t stop interacting with He Tang, I will break your other leg too.”
“Li Hongyuan, you’re so domineering! You think no one can control you, don’t you?” Jiang Ning said, “Just wait and see. Xiaoman, let’s go.”
Xiaoman pushed Jiang Ning away.
Li Yuanyuan continued to sob.
Li Hongyuan glanced at her, “How’s your hand?”
“Master, my hand’s fine…”
“If it’s fine, go back.”
“…” Li Yuanyuan stood up, feeling wronged, and left.
Before leaving, she glanced at the spilled tea on the floor.
Back at Lan Pavilion, Nanny Mo followed her in, “Miss, what happened?”
“What do you mean ‘what happened’?.”
“The tea… did the Prince drink it?”
“Drink? The tea was knocked over by the Princess Consort.” Li Yuanyuan replied irritably.
“Ah?” Nanny Mo was a little alarmed, “Does the Princess Consort suspect something?”
