The moment they saw Rong Qianhan, everyone knelt down and greeted him in unison.

"I see you, prince."

Rong Qianhan did not even spare a glance at the maids and Su Yuyan as his gaze landed on Rong Ziling.

The servant in the kitchen came to report yesterday that the food prepared for Rong Ziling every night would be taken away.

After learning of this matter, Song Yi began to pay attention to the surroundings of the residence. As expected, he found Rong Ziling.

It took him a whole day to confirm that it was Rong Ziling before he dared to bring Rong Qianhan to the backyard.

Seeing that Rong Ziling had a red and swollen cheek and traces of blood at the corner of his mouth, Song Yi was just about to step forward when Rong Qianhan raised his hand to stop him.

Rong Qianhan looked at A Yao, who was protecting Rong Ziling, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Su Yuyan immediately approached him and anxiously explained.

"Prince, you've come at the right time. This lowly maid hid the little bastard that she and the wild man gave birth to in the Prince Regent's Residence and ruined the reputation of the Prince Regent's Residence. I was about to get rid of this lowly maid and the little bastard so as not to dirty Your Highness' eyes."

"It's my fault. I brought this shameless bitch into the Prince Regent's Residence."

Song Yi sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw Rong Qianhan's face darken. He was already silently praying for Su Yuyan in his heart.

How dare she call Rong Qianhan a wild man? She was dead meat!

"It's not like that. Ling isn't my child, he's..."

"He is my child!"

Su Yuyan widened her eyes.

A Yao was speechless.

The maids were also dumbfounded!

These maidservants were all newly bought maidservants after Su Yuyan came to the Prince Regent's Residence. They were also confused about what was happening in front of them.

Seeing Rong Qianhan have talked clearly, Song Yi quickly helped Rong Ziling up from the ground and stared at him with distress.

"Young Master, who did this to you?"

Rong Ziling pointed at Chun Ling. "It's her!"

Rong Qianhan snapped, "Cut off her hands."

Chun Ling was so scared that her face turned pale. As she kowtowed, she begged Rong Qianhan for mercy.

"Prince, please spare my life. Please spare my life. I was blind to not recognize the Young Master."

Rong Qianhan looked at her thoughtfully. "Dug out her eyes as well."

"Prince, please spare my life. Secondary consort, save me. You asked me to do it!"

Rong Qian looked at Su Yuyan coldly.

Su Yuyan broke out in a cold sweat and hemmed and hawed.

"I, I... It's not that I want to treat them like this, it's that bitch who was rude to me first."

A Yao retorted righteously, "I've never done anything rude to secondary consort."

"How dare you lie? Look at my face."

Su Yuyan was extremely reluctant to remove her veil in front of Rong Qianhan, revealing two big and ugly turtles on her face.

Song Yi recognized it was from Rong Ziling at a glance and almost burst out laughing.

A Yao looked at Su Yuyan in shock and calmly defended herself, "I didn't do it. I can't read or draw."

"How dare you quibble in front of prince? You..."

Rong Ziling interrupted her, "It's indeed not her. I painted it."

He sneaked into the study room of Rong Qianhan in the middle of the night, found some knockout drops, and knocked Su Yuyan out. Then, he painted two turtles on Su Yuyan face with special ink.

After all, she had bullied Sister A Yao.

Serves you right!

"You..."

Su Yuyan wiped her tears with grievance and cried for herself. "Prince, I am your secondary consort, but he treats me like this. Now the ugly thing on my face can't be erased. How can I face others in the future?"

"You deserve it! How dare you bully Sister A Yao."

Su Yuyan gritted her teeth and glared at Rong Ziling. "When did I become a bully when I punished a lowly maid?"

"You're a bad woman!"

"You..."

Su Yuyan burst into tears. "Prince, you must uphold justice for me!"

"This is a bit too much!"

When Su Yuyan heard what Rong Qianhan said, she immediately echoed, "He has gone too far. You must punish him."

"You're the one who went too far!"

Su Yuyan was speechless.

"I raised Ziling up. He's never an unreasonable child. If he says you're wrong, then you're wrong."

Su Yuyan was stunned.

She was, after all, the secondary consort that Rong Qianhan had married. She was also the eldest daughter of the prime minister and the niece of the Empress Dowager.

He actually stood on the side of an irrelevant child!

A Yao had not expected Rong Qianhan to be so protective of Rong Ziling and could not react in time.

"Secondary consort, you're rude. You'll be grounded for a month."

Su Yuyan couldn't believe her ears. She looked at Rong Qianhan in surprise and sadness.

"Prince, why did you treat me like this? Is your affection for me fake?"

With a dark face, Rong Qianhan was extremely annoyed with Su Yuyan.

Song Yi stepped forward and said respectfully, "Secondary consort, please return!"

"Prince.."

"Please don't make the prince angry, secondary consort."

Su Yuyan glanced at Rong Qianhan with dissatisfaction and turned to leave angrily.

Song Yi then took Chun Ling away.

The other maids were all dismissed, leaving only Rong Qianhan, A Yao, and Rong Ziling in the backyard.

Noticing that everyone in the backyard was gone, A Yao immediately threw away the stone she was holding tightly.

Rong Ziling looked at A Yao happily, "Sister A Yao, we're fine now."

She looked at Rong Ziling with a complicated expression. Then, she looked at Rong Qianhan and fell to her knees.

"I deserve to die! I didn't know Ling was the Young Master. I almost got the Young Master into trouble. Please punish me, prince."

"Sister, don't kneel down so easily. You've been protecting me just now. You didn't get me into trouble."

"I..."

Rong Qianhan interrupted her. "Get up if he doesn't let you kneel."

A Yao was slightly stunned.

Rong Ziling helped her up, "You don't have to kneel all the time in the future."

"Thank you, Young Master."

"Don't call me Young Master. Just call me Ling as before."

A Yao quickly shook her head. "No! Young Master is of noble status. I'm just a maid. I can't cross the line."

"Say whatever he wants you to," Rong Qianhan said.

A Yao was stunned again.

Rong Qianhan treated Rong Ziling very well. It would be great if she could have a father like him.

Rong Qianhan looked at her veil and asked, "Why are you wearing a veil?"

"There are rashes on my face. I'm afraid it will scare people."

Rong Ziling could not take it anymore and quickly corrected her. "What rashes? You just got your face hurt by that evil woman. You don't have to be afraid of my father. He will definitely help you."

Rong Qianhan thought: Did you think your father was that free?

A Yao lowered her head in silence.

"Take off your veil."

A Yao was a little resistant. "I'm afraid that it will dirty the prince's eyes, or..."

"Do you like to talk back to me?"

Rong Qianhan was a little unhappy.

A Yao didn't dare to say anything else and took off her mask.

After applying the ointment given by Rong Ziling, the scar on her face healed quickly, but there was still a conspicuous and ugly red scar.

Rong Qianhan glanced at it and his thin lips moved, "Bring her the best ointment in my study later."

"You're willing to take out the best ointment?" Rong Ziling was surprised.

"She won't get it if you talk more nonsense."

"Yes! I'll get it right away."

Rong Ziling happily reminded A Yao, "Sister A Yao, wait for me. I'll be right back with the medicine."
