Chapter 192
192, Punishment (3rd update)
Mrs. Mou gave an order, and immediately someone came forward, gagged Qingdai’s mouth, and dragged her away.
Mrs. Mou sighed in her heart. She had only left for a moment, and such a thing had happened.
“Miss, what you need to do now is not to cry here, but to hurry over and apologize to Miss Xie. I guess that wretch Qingdai must have gossiped and said things she shouldn’t have, things that can’t be said in front of Miss Xie, you…” Mrs. Mou had not finished speaking.
Han Jiaqi cried out in a shrill scream, “I won’t go, why should I? I, a young lady from the Duke Residence, actually have to apologize humbly to someone!”
Han Jiaqi turned her head away.
She couldn’t do it.
If she really went to apologize to a country bumpkin, and it got out, how could she hold her head up in the capital?
She’d be laughed to death by those ladies.
“Miss ah…” Mrs. Mou let out a soft cry, “You’re only thinking about your own dignity, but have you thought about His Highness Prince Han’s protection for her? If she goes to His Highness and complains, will His Highness listen to her or your explanation?” Mrs. Mou questioned.
Several questions in a row left Han Jiaqi dumbfounded.
She had not thought of these things.
“Then, then…”
Han Jiaqi was panicked.
“Nanny, I, I…”
She wanted to be high and mighty, untouchable, but she just wasn’t clever enough.

Mrs. Mou wanted to persuade her to apologize, to say a few soft words.But Young Master Yuanbao had already brought people over.
“Hmph!” Young Master Yuanbao snorted coldly, “By the order of His Highness, you all hurry up and pack your things; people from the posthouse will send you back to the capital!”
His voice was very cold.
Standing at the doorway, he perfectly embodied what it meant to be arrogant and domineering, full of disdain.
Without giving Han Jiaqi and the others a chance to explain or be heard, the people from the posthouse had already begun packing, and the clamoring sounds rang out.
Han Jiaqi was already scared witless, pulling on Mrs. Mou in a panic, “Nanny, Nanny…”
Mrs. Mou, after the initial shock and panic, finally mustered up the courage to step forward, “Young Master Yuanbao, this, this…”
“What is there to ‘this’? Is Miss Xie someone you can order around? The young lady from the Duke Residence, who has not learned to be modest and graceful, but has learned to bully others with her power, Prince Han has now sent people to take you back, so that the Duke can properly teach you, lest you tarnish the Duke Residence’s reputation!” Yuanbao finished speaking,
and looked at the petrified Han Jiaqi with a sneer.
What trash.
Han Jiaqi’s body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
“Miss…” Mrs. Mou exclaimed in shock.
“No, no, no!” Han Jiaqi clutched at Mrs. Mou’s sleeve, “Nanny, I don’t want to, I don’t want to be sent back!”
Once sent back, she would lose everything.
Perhaps even her life would be at risk.
In a grand household, it would hardly be a significant event if a young lady died of illness.
There might even be no one to ask about it.
Mrs. Mou was also scared out of her wits. She had advised Han Jiaqi many times not to bully others with her power and to be cautious, but she didn’t listen, thinking that if she wasn’t strong, she would be bullied, so it was better to be dominant and bully others.
The ladies in the capital did not bother with her, keeping their dignity intact.
People outside the capital, wary of the Duke Residence’s power, did not dare to offend.
But now, she had kicked an iron plate, having encountered His Highness Prince Han.
She hurried to beg Yuanbao, her eyes red and filled with pleading, “Young Master Yuanbao, please relay a message to His Highness on our behalf, our miss realizes her mistake and will not dare to bully others with her power ever again. Please, ask His Highness to show mercy and give our miss a chance to turn over a new leaf!”
