Chapter 363 Moving
Nanny's words touched the heart of the empress dowager. She was the empress dowager, and no one had ever been as presumptuous in front of her as Shen Qingqian!
If she didn't teach Shen Qingqian a lesson, people would think that she, the queen mother, had no dignity! She had to let Shen Qingqian know that arrogance would lead to disaster. She had to make Shen Qingqian pay the price for her arrogance!
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother immediately ordered the nanny beside her: "Go, call Shen Qingqian to me!"
"Yes, Master!"
The nanny understood what she meant and left with the two guards.
When the three of them arrived, the gate of General Qingyi's mansion was open. There were more than a dozen carriages parked at the door, and servants kept coming in and out, loading things onto the carriages.
Shen Qingqian and Zhiqing Zhizhu were standing in the yard directing what should be placed on which carriage.
When the nanny saw them moving, she sneered in her heart, thinking that Shen Qingqian was just refusing to accept the toast. She looked at Shen Qingqian as if she was looking at a dog that had lost its home, and her words were full of contempt.
"General Qingyi, no, he is no longer a general now. Miss Shen, the Queen Mother wants to summon you. Please come with me!"
Shen Qingqian glanced at her and thought to herself, this old witch, the Queen Mother, is really too idle to do anything. Why is she always staring at her?
But it's obvious that summoning her to the palace at this time is definitely not a good thing! Only a fool would go with her!
She said with a fake smile: "Mammy has seen it too. I am busy moving house right now and really can't spare the time to see the Queen Mother."
The nanny's face instantly became long. She didn't expect that Shen Qingqian was still so arrogant even after being dismissed from his official position!
"Miss Shen, you must recognize the current situation. You no longer hold an official position. You are just a lowly commoner. How many heads can you have if you dare to disobey the Queen Mother's order?"
Shen Qingqian rolled her eyes in her heart. He still wanted to chop off her head? If she got angry, she could blow up Yishou Palace with a bomb!
However, the nanny in front of her was just a slave who relied on the power of her master. Shen Qingqian didn't need to compete with such a person.
She pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Mammy, you misunderstood. How dare I disobey the order of the Empress Dowager? Didn't the emperor order us to move out as soon as possible? I was worried that if I delayed the time, the emperor would blame me.
In other words, in the eyes of Nanny, the Queen Mother's words are the imperial decree, and the Emperor's orders are nothing at all!"
Shen Qingqian did not lie. The emperor did send someone to tell her to move out of the house as soon as possible.
Shen Qingqian naturally didn't care about this shabby house. With her current financial resources, it would be no problem for her to buy a house ten times bigger than this one!
It’s just that this excuse is the most appropriate one to use to fool the Queen Mother right now!
Mammy was inexplicably accused of this, and she was furious and anxious, saying, "You are talking nonsense, I didn't mean that at all."
Shen Qingqian glanced at her sideways, "Then Madam, give me an idea. Should I obey the Emperor's order and move out of here as soon as possible? Or should I follow the Queen Mother's order and go to her place first?"
The nanny was speechless for a moment, and after a long while she said, "There are so many people moving things, why do you need to be here? Let them continue moving, and you can just follow me to see the Queen Mother!"
Shen Qingqian immediately objected, "That won't do! My belongings here are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver! If I don't keep an eye on them, what if they fall, get bumped, or get lost? Who can I turn to for justice? Can I ask the Queen Mother for compensation?"
"You wish! Why should the Queen Mother compensate you?"
The nanny felt that Shen Qingqian was simply too shameless.
"If the Queen Mother doesn't want to compensate, you can do it, Madam. As long as you agree, I will go with you to see the Queen Mother right now."
"You are totally unreasonable! Why should I pay for it?"
Shen Qingqian spread her hands and said helplessly: "That's it! I lost my official position last time because of the Queen Mother's summons. If I lose money again because of going to see the Queen Mother this time, how can I live in the future?
The most important thing is that people who don't know the inside story think that the Queen Mother is a jinx, and once she is summoned, she will be unlucky, and very unlucky! Don't you think this is the case, Madam?"
"You... you dare to call the Queen Mother a jinx? How dare you!"
The nanny pointed at her, her fat body shaking with anger.
Shen Qingqian said innocently, "Didn't I tell you that I was afraid that people who didn't know the inside story would think so? How could Mammy misunderstand that I was scolding the Queen Mother?"
The nanny didn't want to play tricks with her anymore, and said to the guards behind her with a stern face: "Shen Qingqian openly insulted the Queen Mother, and committed insubordination. You two should tie her up immediately and take her back to the Queen Mother for punishment!"
The two guards took the order and flew forward to capture Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian didn't even move, Zhiqing and Zhizhu immediately stood in front of her and soon started fighting with the two guards.
Nanny didn't expect that she had become an ordinary pariah, and she dared to let her men attack the palace guards! She said angrily: "You dare to let people fight back? This is really outrageous!"
Shen Qingqian sneered, no longer paying attention to the nanny's impotent rage, and turned to walk towards her room.
"Ah, I've been talking for so long, I'm really thirsty, let's go back to the house and drink some water to moisten our throat!"
Mammy was left there by her, and she was so angry that her heart ached. She had been here for such a long time, but Shen Qingqian didn't ask her to come in and sit down. She had been standing and talking all the time, let alone asking her to drink some tea!
She looked at the two guards fighting with Zhiqing and Zhizhu, hoping that they could fight back and defeat the two women under Shen Qingqian, and capture Shen Qingqian. By then, not to mention the Queen Mother, she would also skin her alive!
The nanny felt that she was careless. If she had known that Shen Qingqian was so difficult to deal with, she should have brought a few more guards with her. If she had brought ten people, she would not believe that she could not capture the bitch Shen Qingqian!
Shen Qingqian didn't notice at all that while she was arguing with the nanny, a gray figure sneaked into her room and came out after a while.
The yard was already in a mess due to the move, and it became even more chaotic because the educated youth Zhizhu had a fight with two guards.
If someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to do something at this time, others will not be able to discover it.
Shen Qingqian didn't notice anything after entering the house. She sat down and poured herself a glass of water. She drank it in small sips while watching the lively scene outside.
By the time she finished two glasses of water, the four men outside had finished fighting.
Zhiqing and Zhizhu walked in with two guards behind their backs and asked, "Miss, what should we do with these two people?"
Before Shen Qingqian could say anything, the nanny came in and said in a threatening tone: "Shen Qingqian, they are the guards of the Empress Dowager's palace. You'd better let them go, otherwise the Empress Dowager will not let you go!"
