I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Chapter 112 Jingxiang Garden

Seeing that Granny Zhuang was acting with an air of arrogance and completely disregarded her, Lan Zhi turned to Xiang Xiu and asked in a cold voice,

"How many times did she slap you?"

Xiangxiu covered her face with one hand and shook her head vigorously, "Your Highness, I'm fine."

Lan Zhi immediately questioned him with a complicated expression.

"Tell me, how many times did she slap you?"

Xiangxiu had never seen Lanzhi so angry before. She dared not say anything more and stammered a reply:

"Five...five slaps..."

A dangerous glint flashed in Lan Zhi's eyes, and she immediately gave the order to A Qi:

“Ah Qi, she slapped Xiangxiu a few times, slap her back a few times.”

Ah Qi was already furious about Xiang Xiu being beaten, and now that the Crown Princess had given the order, she wanted to take this opportunity to avenge Xiang Xiu.

She immediately rolled up her sleeves and moved closer to Granny Zhuang, but Granny Zhuang, unfazed, raised her chin and glared at her defiantly.

"If you dare to hit me, I'll break your hands."

Ah Qi gritted her teeth and raised her hand, slapping Granny Zhuang across the face. Granny Zhuang seemed not to have reacted at all, covering her face with one hand and blinking hard a few times.

"You...you have some nerve! I'm going to complain to the Emperor later."

Lan Zhi smiled slightly and reminded him:

“Ah Qi, she said she’s going to complain to the Emperor. Anyway, she’ll complain if you slap her once, so what’s the harm in slapping her a few more times?”

After receiving the order, Ah Qi raised his hand to strike again, but Granny Zhuang rushed forward with bared teeth and claws, and the two wrestled and fought.

The maids and servants who had just been working in the courtyard all stopped and stood watching.

Lan Zhi watched quietly, then suddenly looked up at Wei Ming. Although the child was only six years old, his eyes held a gaze that should not be present at his age.

Especially when he noticed Lan Zhi looking at him, he immediately raised his chin and glared at her with disgust.

"You're the one who killed my parents, I'll remember you."

I?

Lan Zhi was quite surprised. What did her parents' deaths have to do with her?

It seems someone deliberately stirred things up in front of him.

Some people couldn't stand her suddenly becoming the Crown Princess and couldn't bear to see her rise to such a high position, so they made up stories about her in front of this child who was only a few years old!

She couldn't help but lament the wickedness of people's hearts and the coldness of the world.

Just as Ah Qi and Granny Zhuang were locked in a fierce battle, Lan Zhi gave Xiang Xiu a wink. Xiang Xiu, recalling the scene of Granny Zhuang hitting her earlier, was suddenly filled with a strong desire for revenge.

She got up from the ground and joined the fight between the two of them.

Even though Granny Zhuang was somewhat strong, she couldn't withstand two against one. In no time, she was pinned down by Aqi and Xiangxiu. Aqi raised his hand and slapped her face four times, then pulled Xiangxiu up, brushed the dust off their clothes, and went to report to Lanzhi.

"Your Highness, the five slaps have been delivered."

Lan Zhi then glanced at Granny Zhuang, who was still lying on the ground, her face pale with anger and her teeth clenched, and coldly reminded her,

"Remember this: no matter where you come from, in the Crown Prince's residence, you must listen to me, the mistress of the house. Otherwise, this will be the lightest punishment."

After saying this, she glared at Granny Zhuang with disdain, then turned and left.

Ah Qi and Xiang Xiu followed behind her with their heads held high, like two roosters who had won a battle.

Granny Zhuang lay prone on the ground, staring wide-eyed at the retreating figures of those people, and growled softly.

"You just wait, I'm going to the Emperor right now to reason with him."

Wei Ming was stunned. When he came to his senses, he quickly jumped off the chair and went forward to ask what was wrong.

"Granny Zhuang, are you alright?"

Granny Zhuang hurriedly shook her head.

“Young master, I’m fine. Do you remember that woman from earlier? It was her, and another one named Wei Jianning. They’re the ones who killed your parents. When you grow up, you must seek revenge on them.”

Wei Ming glanced in the direction Lan Zhi had left, his eyes filled with anger, and nodded heavily.

"I know, my grandmother already told me. She also told me not to tell anyone. So you know too. When I grow up, I will definitely take revenge on them."

The seeds of hatred have already been sown in the heart of this little child.

He didn't know that although Granny Zhuang was nominally sent by the Emperor to take care of him, she had actually been bribed by the Empress before she arrived. The Empress wanted to plant the seeds of hatred in this child so that she could use him to get rid of Wei Jianning in the future and then reap the benefits.

……

Lan Zhi led A Qi and Xiang Xiu back to the main hall. A Qi, not forgetting to show off, was still gesticulating wildly.

“I just beat that Granny Zhuang to a pulp. If she dares to mess with me again, I’ll beat her to death.”

"All right."

Lan Zhi interrupted her.

"You two are only good because you ran into that old woman, Granny Zhuang. If you had run into someone strong and healthy, you would have been at a disadvantage. And yet you're still showing off here."

Ah Qi then stuck out his tongue, realizing he was in the wrong.

"Your Highness is right. If Xiangxiu hadn't come to my aid just now, I really wouldn't have been able to handle it by myself."

Lan Zhi rested her chin on her hand and murmured:

“This won’t do. We’ll be facing more than just the few people from the Crown Prince’s residence in the future. You two need to have some self-defense skills.”

At this point, her eyes lit up.

"I'll have Yuan Tianxiong teach you a few moves later. You need to practice diligently for two hours every day. If you do well, I'll take you with me when I go out. If you don't, I'll have to choose two more maids who know kung fu to be my personal maids."

Xiangxiu and Aqi hurriedly made a vow.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely practice diligently."

"Yes, although we haven't learned kung fu, we will work harder than others. Please don't ask anyone else for help."

"Count me in..."

Princess Yujie suddenly appeared out of nowhere, rushed straight to Lan Zhi, placed her hands on the table in front of her, and looked at her with pleading eyes.

"I also want to learn kung fu from Yuan Tianxiong."

Lan Zhi's eyes flickered, and she asked curiously,

"Are you super-hearing? You can hear everything we say?"

Yu Jie rubbed her nose with a rather smug look on her face.

"When I arrived, I heard that you wanted these two girls to learn kung fu from Yuan Tianxiong. A few days ago, I asked you to talk to him about becoming my master, but you didn't. Now you're speaking up for these two girls. I even considered you a friend."

"This is different."

"Why is it different?"

"The two of them don't know kung fu, so they can learn some self-defense techniques from him. You already know kung fu, so why would you need to learn from him?"

"I want to learn from him..."

Yu Jie threw a tantrum like a princess.

"If you don't give in, I'll never talk to you again."

Seeing Yu Jie pouting and looking angry, Lan Zhi smiled helplessly.

"Okay, I'll go and talk to him. I'll tell Yuan Tianxiong when he gets back, okay?"

Yu Jie then grinned.

"Alright, I'll go back and tell my father that I want to move to the Crown Prince's residence."
