[Quick Wear] On strike, please don't disturb your ex

Chapter 155 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (25)

The two reprimanded guards immediately let the man go.

The two men knelt on the ground after being kicked, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Song Liaoye couldn't bring himself to do anything to Shen Fanli, so he turned and looked at the two maids on both sides of Shen Fanli who were trying to help her up.

"If the master makes a mistake, the servant will naturally be to blame."

"Come here, drag these two out and beat them with ten canes each," Song Liaoye looked at the people who looked up at him in shock, and said coldly, "Next time if you don't repent, you will be beaten with twenty canes. The next time, you will be dragged away and beaten to death!"

"Song Liaoye! Why are you punishing them..."

Song Liaoye narrowed his eyes, "Come here, what are you waiting for? Drag him away!"

Hearing this, the guards standing nearby immediately took action and dragged the two men away.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fanli's mind went blank for a moment. Then he looked at Song Liaoye in disbelief, and then at Bi'er and Jing'er who were dragged away.

She gritted her teeth and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what kind of master am I?"

"You didn't say that, my Lord. I'm just a maid!"

Song Liaoye was so angry. How could he not know that Shen Fanli was so sharp-tongued?

His chest heaved as he looked at Shen Fanli's slightly red eyes filled with shock. He rubbed his forehead, waved his sleeves and spoke.

"Everyone go down and receive your punishment."

Everyone in the yard knelt down, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He turned his head to look at the slender figure still leaning against the bench, and said in a cold tone, "Go back to your room and reflect for two days. You don't need to serve me for the next two days."

"..."

Seeing this, the maidservant on the side stepped forward and helped the person up.

Song Liaoye looked at her somewhat thin figure and felt a little soft in his heart.

Then I remembered something.

She's just a maid.

He shouldn't take people to heart.

That would only make her situation more difficult.

Song Liaoye turned and left Mingkaiyuan.

......

*

After Shen Fanli entered the room, he sat on a chair.

I was in a daze for a long time.

After she wakes up, she will take a bath.

It was at this moment that she realized she was still wearing the cloak.

Shen Fanli untied it and let it fall to the ground.

Without looking again.

After taking a bath, he went to Bi'er and Jing'er's room.

The two were lying on the bed, and when they saw Shen Fanli coming, they wanted to get up.

Shen Fanli took two quick steps and told the two to lie down and not get up.

"Speaking of this, it's me who has dragged you two down."

Bier and Jing'er only have gratitude towards Shen Fanli. Jing'er is an orphan rescued by Shen Fanli. Both her parents are dead, and Bi'er was sold by her parents. Fortunately, both of them met Shen Fanli.

Being with Miss Shen was much better than the previous days of hunger. Moreover, Miss Shen did not treat them as slaves and always thought of them with everything.

Speaking of this punishment, even if the prince didn't punish them, they were willing to take the punishment on behalf of Miss Shen.

"Girl, why are you being so pretentious? You yourself were almost..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered what happened today, which might be the girl's sad story, so he stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, Jing'er gently tugged at Shen Fanli's sleeve, "Sister Fanli is worried about Jing'er and Sister Bi'er, don't worry, the two guards are familiar with Sister Bi'er, and they didn't use heavy hands."

"Loud thunder, little rain." Jing'er muttered, "Just like how the prince treats Sister Fanli..."

His Royal Highness Prince Qi threatened to spank Sister Fanli, but he failed to do so. Instead, it was the servants who suffered...

The latter's voice was so soft that Shen Fanli couldn't hear it clearly.

But I didn't ask again.

Shen Fanli patted Jing'er's hand, opened her palm, handed her the ointment in her hand, and said, "This medicine is from the palace. It is very effective for these external injuries and will not leave scars."

Shen Fanli put the ointment in Jing'er's hand. Jing'er was a little shocked. Sister Fanli didn't have much of the ointment herself, but she wanted to give it to them. She was very touched, but didn't want to accept it.

"Sister Fanli, please take it back. This is really inappropriate." After saying that, Jing'er held Shen Fanli's hand and pushed the ointment back.

At this moment, a hissing sound was suddenly heard.

The source of the voice was Shen Fanli.

Two pairs of eyes stared at Shen Fanli, from her face to the hand held by Jing'er.

Bi'er realized that the girl's hand was scratched, and hurriedly said, "Jing'er, let go!"

Jing'er let go immediately after hearing that. She wanted to sit up and look at Shen Fanli's hand, but Shen Fanli held her down with his other hand.

"Don't move. I asked the doctor, and he said you need to rest. You should rest well during this period. I'm going back to the room first."

After saying this, Shen Fanli was about to leave.

Then Bi'er pulled her skirt again, "Girl, let us see your hands."

Shen Fanli looked at the two pairs of eyes full of worry and had no choice but to extend his hand.

Bier gently rolled up Shen Fanli's sleeves and saw a bruise on the back of Shen Fanli's hand, with blood oozing out in the middle.

Jing'er exclaimed.

"Sister Fanli, your hand..."

"Girl, your injury is......"

Shen Fanli understood what people were not saying. They thought it was done by King Qi, so she shook her head and said, "It's not him."

"It's just a minor injury. It will heal in two days. Don't worry."

After saying this, Shen Fanli pulled his hand back and covered the wound with his sleeve again.

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, and Bi'er immediately asked her if she had called a doctor and what the doctor said.

Shen Fanli glanced at Bi'er, then at Jing'er. They both looked at her at the same time, with worried expressions. The coldness in her heart was gradually dispelled. She smiled and said, "I called a doctor. The doctor said it was an external injury and it's nothing serious. It will be fine in a few days."

After that, he smiled and asked, "Do you have any other questions, you two little chatterboxes..."

......

The next day.

Shen Fanli woke up very early.

But after she woke up, she didn't get up. Instead, she looked at the bed curtains, not knowing what she was thinking.

When there was some noise inside the house, the two maids outside the door came out to greet people.

Only enter the house after hearing the response.

The two maids who were sent were extremely respectful to Shen Fanli and did not show any disrespect to her because of the prince's anger yesterday.

Seeing that someone was going to help her wash up, Shen Fanli waved her hand and asked them to leave.

After knowing that the two of them were here to replace Bi'er and the other two for a period of time after being punished with the cane, Shen Fanli shook his head and said, "I don't need anyone to serve me. You can tell Manager Wei that you don't need to send anyone later..."

Before Shen Fanli finished speaking, the two maids knelt down on the ground the next second, "Please be merciful, Miss Shen, and let us serve you."

"Please girl."

The two of them kowtowed to Shen Fanli as soon as they had a disagreement.

Shen Fanli was shocked and quickly asked someone to get up.

With a sigh, "Forget it, forget it, just stay here."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two thanked Shen Fanli with tears in their eyes.

When Shen Fanli saw this scene, he felt a little emotional.

Song Liaoye is completely different now.

Now all the servants in the palace dare not obey his orders, and they are afraid of him. Even though these two people were sent by Wei Guanshi, his methods...

Seeing the two of them standing up, Shen Fanli said, "You don't have to wait on me for washing, dressing, and eating in the future. I'm not used to it. Just come when I need you."

"There's nothing to do in Mingkai Garden. If you're bored, you can go play chess or bask in the sun."

Shen Fanli was asked to reflect these two days. She had a lot of free time and was relaxed. She had nothing to bother her every day and felt very peaceful.

She would visit Bi'er and her boyfriend every day. Seeing that their condition was getting better day by day, she felt much more relieved.

This morning.

Not long after Shen Fanli finished her breakfast, the doctor came to see her.

After seeing the wound on Shen Fanli's hand, he pondered for a moment and still asked him to rest for a few more days, apply medicine on time, and avoid strenuous exercise.

Shen Fanli put down his sleeves and sent the doctor away.

More than an hour later, when Shen Fanli was playing chess with the new maid, an uninvited person came in.

It was the owner of the palace——

His Royal Highness Prince Qi, Song Liaoye.

Song Liaoye said that people should think quietly for two days.

Today is the fourth day.

Two days longer than the two days mentioned.

Shen Fanli did not come to him, and there was no movement in Mingkaiyuan.

After sitting for a long time, Song Liaoye stood up.

Then he sat down again.

Looking at the pages full of handwriting, Song Liaoye couldn't bear to read any further and stood up again.

He sighed softly, and just when he was about to sit down again, someone outside came to report that the Grand Tutor was here to visit.

Song Liaoye narrowed his eyes and asked someone to invite the tutor in.

......

After sending the person out, Song Liaoye's desire to see Shen Fanli became even stronger.

So he stood up again, but this time he didn't sit down.

Instead, he left the study and headed towards Mingkaiyuan.

When Song Liaoye arrived at Mingkaiyuan, he saw Shen Fanli playing chess with someone under the big banyan tree in the courtyard.

Come to think of it, he hadn't played chess with her for a long time.

The maid who was watching the two people playing chess saw Song Liaoye first and immediately knelt down to salute, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the person who was playing chess with Shen Fanli immediately knelt down and saluted.

Shen Fanli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

Without looking up, she also knelt down to salute.

"Meet the prince."

As soon as Shen Fanli's knees touched the ground, he was pulled up by someone who walked up quickly.

He frowned at her.

"Shen Fanli, I have told you many times that you are not allowed to salute me. Didn't you hear me?"

Shen Fanli didn't have the habit of forcing others to kneel, and would naturally choose not to kneel if he could.

However, he was the one who forbade her to kneel, and he was also the one who made her kneel!

She said calmly: "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be abolished."

He added, "There is a difference between the noble and the humble."

This is something Shen Fanli understands very well.

It's just that I've always had expectations.

Song Liaoye felt a little depressed.

He only told her to kneel down once, but she remembered it so clearly.

Then why doesn't she remember how good he was to her!

If he took half a step back, Shen Fanli would have to take five or ten steps back.

But within a few days, she retreated back into her shell.

Song Liaoye was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

That was exactly what he said that day.

But, he didn't want to do this...

He waved his hand to signal the other two maids to leave.

He walked to the side of the chessboard and sat down. "Playing chess."

"Back to my lord, yes."

Song Liaoye took a look at the chessboard and could tell at a glance that the black chess piece was played by Shen Fanli. Her chess skills have always been the same and there has been no improvement over the years.

He reached out and took the chess piece back, "Let's play a game, sit down quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, Shen Fanli sat down on the other side.

Song Liaoye paused for a moment, feeling helpless about what Shen Fanli could do.

When he was angry that day, he was reluctant to touch her, let alone now!

Just as Shen Fanli placed the second chess piece, Song Liaoye's brows were already furrowed.

He tapped his fingers on the stone table and asked, "What happened to your right hand?"

When Shen Fanli played the first chess piece with her left hand, Song Liaoye keenly noticed that her dominant hand had always been her right hand, so why did it suddenly become her left hand?

When it came to the second chess piece, Shen Fanli still used his left hand, so Song Liaoye asked this question.

Shen Fanli was slightly stunned, a little surprised by Song Liaoye's sharp reaction, "Your Highness, my right hand was touched, it will be healed in two days."

She looked at the chessboard, her face calm and elegant, "My Lord, it's your turn..."

Song Liaoye pursed his lips slightly, "Stretch out your hand."

After a long silence, Shen Fanli stretched out his right hand.

Her palms were facing upwards, without any wounds on them.

Just when Shen Fanli was about to withdraw his hand, Song Liaoye reached out and grabbed a spot on Shen Fanli's wrist without much force.

He slowly turned the back of the person's hand upwards, and when he saw the back of Shen Fanli's hand, his pupils shrank slightly.

Her hands were very white, but the bruises covering them were very conspicuous.

People can see it at a glance.

Song Liaoye's hand that was holding her wrist changed to a position with the palm facing up, supporting Shen Fanli's hand, while the other hand was suspended in the air, as if he wanted to touch her but didn't dare to.

Shen Fanli also withdrew his hand at this time and lowered his sleeve to cover the wound on the back of his hand.

She pointed to the chessboard, "My Lord, don't you want to play chess?"

Song Liaoye restrained his emotions and asked, "How did this injury come about?"

Judging from the injury, it has been a few days.

No one informed him!

Shen Fanli looked at Song Liaoye's expression and lowered her eyelashes.

"It was just an accidental bump. It's nothing serious. The doctor came to see me and said I'll be fine in a few days."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Song Liaoye's hand was suspended in the air, and he didn't withdraw it for a long time. He asked, "When did you get this injury?"

Shen Fanli's expression changed slightly, and she said, "It was yesterday, or maybe the day before yesterday."

"Can't remember clearly."

Song Liaoye stood up and shouted, "Someone come here."

The two maids ran over immediately after hearing the sound.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"When did she get the injury on her hand? How did she get it?"

The two maids were not aware of this rule. When they saw the wound on the back of Miss Shen's hand that day, they were thinking about whether to report it, but after hearing what Miss Shen said, they did not report it.

"In reply to your Highness, I discovered Miss Shen's injury the night before yesterday. She said she was just bumped. The doctor came to see her these past two days and said it was an external injury and she needs to recover for some time."

What the two said was the same as what Shen Fanli said.

Song Liaoye's voice was slightly cold, "Besides, why don't you report it?"

Shen Fanli stood up and looked at Song Liaoye, "Why blame them? Is the prince going to drag them down and punish them with a stick as well?"

Song Liaoye choked and whispered, "No."
