Chapter 20 Reorganizing the Prince's Mansion
Except for Li An, all the guards of the Prince's Mansion stopped.
This old woman was the old prince's concubine. She was listed in the imperial genealogy and had a rank, so her words carried weight, and the guards of the prince's mansion dared not disrespect her.
However, the Flying Feather Guards only obeyed the Prince of Zhenyuan, and they didn't care about a concubine at all.
So Li An continued hitting, six more hits, five more...
"Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?" Nangong Qi stepped forward to save Xie Shi, but was stopped by Li Shuang with her sword drawn.
"Do you want to die?"
Nangong Wu ignored these demons and monsters, and looked at Luo Dayou, "Keep hitting him for me. Anyone who dares to stop will be punished along with me."
"Yes..." Luo Dayou was startled and grabbed a guard's board, taking the action himself.
"Nangong Wu, no matter what, Xie Shi is still your aunt. How could you lay a hand on her?" Nangong Qi was furious, but he was also wary of the Flying Feather Guards.
"Aunt Wang?" Nangong Wu stood up, really not wanting to look up at them. "I wonder what title the Emperor bestowed upon you? That allows me, a princess, to call her Aunt Wang?"
Her words were truly devastating.
In the original owner's memory, neither of his grandfather's two sons held a noble title.
The throne can only be passed on to one son. If a prince like the grandfather has multiple sons, in addition to passing the title of prince to the heir apparent, he can also apply to the emperor for titles for his other sons, such as a prince of the second rank, or at the very least a duke.
But I don't know what my grandfather was thinking, he left the title to my mother, who was already a princess. When the original owner was born, he also asked for her to be granted the title of princess.
After his mother died in battle, his grandfather passed the title to his father, his son-in-law, but refused to give it to his two sons, Nangong Qi and Nangong Chen, nor did he request any other titles for them.
She couldn't understand this at all. Could it be because the Empress Dowager forced him into marriage that her grandfather developed a rebellious mentality?
Sure enough, the old concubine and Nangong Qi both looked grim when they heard her words.
"Nangong Qi, who gave you the audacity to move into my mother's Jade Courtyard?" Nangong Wu questioned.
"Nangong Wu, I am not dead yet. It is not your place to be so presumptuous in the palace." The old concubine put on airs of an elder.
"Is that so?" Nangong Wu's face showed a sneer as she took out the token and held it up in front of her. "Old concubine, look carefully, I am the master of this palace."
Your grandfather forbade you from ever setting foot in the Jade Courtyard again. Have you come here today without permission, hoping to receive thirty strokes of the cane as well?
"Nangong Wu, you...you're being insolent..." The old concubine pointed at her, her face flushed with anger.
That man never cared about her, and his daughter never paid any attention to her. Now that they are all dead, only this little bitch is left, and she dares to disregard her.
By this time, Li An had already finished striking Xie Shi thirty times and was unconscious.
"Mother!" Nangong Jing cried, holding Xie Shi, who was covered in blood. "Nangong Wu, how cruel you are!"
"Heartless, aren't you?" Nangong Wu's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile:
"Nangong Qi, my father's life or death is still unknown, and you are already eager to seize everything in the Prince's Mansion. Do you really think I, Nangong Wu, am weak and easy to bully?"
During the year I was gone, you bullied my wet nurse and took my and my parents' belongings. I'll make you spit out everything you've eaten!
"You wretched thing! Even if your grandfather and parents were here, they wouldn't dare speak to me like that. Have you fed all the manners you learned to the dogs?" The old concubine pointed at Nangong Wu, her chest heaving with anger.
"I, the Princess Consort, must enter the palace to see the Emperor and accuse you, you wretched child, of indiscriminately killing innocent people, even daring to beat your elders! Do you have any respect for the law? Do you have any regard for His Majesty?"
"Li Shuang, Luo Dayou!"
Nangong Wu didn't want to waste any more words with these people, so she directly ordered, "All members of Nangong Qi's faction, go to the West District. Make them return everything they stole, or they will be treated as thieves."
"Yes!" Luo Dayou accepted the order.
"Nangong Wu, I am also my grandfather's granddaughter. What right do you have to send us to live in the West District?" Nangong Jing roared at Nangong Wu, her eyes filled with hatred.
The West District was the worst part of the Prince's Mansion. My grandmother had lived there ever since she married into the mansion.
Her father was born in the West End and lived there ever since; she and several of her siblings were also born in the West End.
Their father told them from a young age that they shouldn't go to the East District to play.
Once, they secretly went to play in the East District. When their grandfather found out, he punished them by putting them in solitary confinement for two months. Even their father was punished.
However, Nangong Wu's parents occupied three-quarters of the palace, lived in the best rear palace, and also occupied the east section.
The East District has beautiful scenery, with an artificial lake, the largest garden, a viewing tower, and the largest courtyard.
They and their father are all descendants of their grandfather, so why are all the good things given to the direct descendants? And their whole family doesn't even have the right to go in?
"Why?" Nangong Wu chuckled softly twice.
"Because you are born out of wedlock! You are of lowly status, yet you dare to dream of comparing yourselves with the legitimate descendants? Your grandfather has already taught you to keep to your proper place and not to covet what you should have."
"The West District was the place Grandpa chose for you. Now! I'm just sending you back to where you were before. What are you making a fuss about? Or are you dissatisfied with Grandpa's arrangements?"
Upon hearing her mention the old prince, Nangong Qi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes turning sinister and ruthless.
Nangong Wu saw his reaction.
She really wanted to know why her grandfather disliked his two sons so much.
If they were granted the title of Prince or something, Nangong Qi and Nangong Chen would have already opened their own residence and moved out!
"Take them all away!"
The guards rushed forward and forcibly took everyone away.
With Granny Feng around, she ordered everyone to throw all of Xie's belongings out of the Jade Courtyard.
Nangong Qi's children were all driven back to the West District from the East District; they couldn't take anything that didn't belong to them with them.
On the advice of Granny Feng, Nangong Wu asked Luo Dayou to find the old people from the Prince's Mansion.
The old butler, who had been banished to the farm by Nangong Qi, was also brought back.
When the old steward saw Nangong Wu, a man in his fifties, he cried like a child, tears streaming down his face, saying that there was hope for the Prince's Mansion.
Nangong Wu allowed him to continue managing the Prince's Palace.
With the help of these elderly members of the Prince's Mansion, the mansion quickly resumed normal operations.
After dealing with Nangong Qi and his family, Nangong Wu was finally able to get some rest.
According to Li Feng, the old concubine and Nangong Qizhen went to the palace to see Emperor Mingde.
But the emperor didn't give the mother and son any face at all, saying that they lived in the West District anyway, so what was there to make a fuss about? Then he sent them away.
Next, Nangong Wu set her sights on dealing with the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Li Shuang reported again: "Princess, Nangong Qi has taken everything from the Prince's mansion for himself this year. We found a large amount of gold and silver treasures in their private treasury, which are now in the main storeroom. Should we move them to the secret room?"
Only the Flying Feather Guards knew about the secret chamber in the Prince's residence.
"I'll go take a look." Nangong Wu went to the main storeroom of the Prince's mansion without taking anyone with her.
Seeing the mountain of boxes filled with gold and silver treasures, Nangong Wu felt a surge of anger.
If she hadn't traveled through time, all these things would have been squandered by those people.
She put all the gold and silver jewelry into her space.
Thinking of that Nangong Chen, that mother and son always lived in the West District and didn't participate in robbing things from the Prince's Mansion. They were quite law-abiding.
Three days later, Nangong Wu felt much better and took out the marriage certificate to study it again.
"Princess." Li Shuang walked in carrying several account books, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Wu put the marriage certificate away.
