Princess Fu'an said to the guards:
"Have the steward sell Concubine Lian off immediately.
If my consort comes back and gets angry, tell him to come to me!"
"Yes."
Ordinarily, Princess Fu'an had tolerated Concubine Lian for her consort's sake.
After hearing Princess Jiahe's words today, Princess Fu'an had finally straightened her spine.
The servants at Princess Fu'an's Residence had been nearly suffocating with resentment, watching the consort and Concubine Lian jump around stirring up trouble every day.
At last, they could vent some of that pent-up frustration.
The guards dragged Concubine Lian away.
Concubine Lian shouted in terror:
"Princess Fu'an, you can't do this! I'm your consort's concubine.
Aren't you afraid he'll be angry if you do this?"
Princess Fu'an remained completely unmoved, and Concubine Lian immediately began pleading:
"Princess Fu'an, I was wrong! I'll never dare do it again. Please spare me just this once!
Princess Fu'an..."
In truth, Concubine Lian was thinking venomously, I'll get through this hurdle first. Princess Fu'an is only acting like this because Princess Jiahe egged her on.
Once the consort comes back, I'll make sure he gets justice for me!
One look at Concubine Lian's expression told Song Yaoyao exactly what she was thinking!
Song Yaoyao wanted to see what Princess Fu'an would do.
If Princess Fu'an still went soft at a time like this, she truly was beyond saving.
Princess Fu'an did not disappoint her. She told the guards:
"Gag her and drag her out immediately!"
"Yes."
A guard took out a handkerchief and stuffed it straight into Concubine Lian's mouth, and she was dragged away just like that.
The world was finally quiet!
Princess Fu'an smiled.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that, Princess Jiahe!"
Song Yaoyao waved a hand.
"It's best if you've come to understand things yourself!
Now
