The kitchen servant was shocked and wanted to retort, but Madame Yun shook her head. She could only clench her teeth and kowtow, acting pitifully.

"Eldest Miss said that this servant is a servant, but this servant doesn't dare to refuse. However, Miss said that this servant doesn't know respect and inferiority, this servant …" This servant is innocent! "

As she spoke, she looked at the Prime Minister.

"Master, you should understand that this servant has been doing my best for the past ten years."

"What do you want to say? This chef was brought here by your mother. She's not a disrespectful person." After the Prime Minister heard this, he did not scold Xi Mengyao.

Xi Mengyao sneered as she glanced at Madame Yun.

What kind of mother was she? She was merely a mistress.

It was only because of Little Three's legitimacy that she had such status, and she was still putting on airs now.

Thinking about this, she slightly nodded her head and shook it, saying, "This person has been in the mansion for more than ten years, yet he said that I was a thief. He still wants people to beat me to death.

"What!"

The prime minister immediately turned and glared at the kitchen maid, "You actually let my Prime Minister's Mansion's eldest miss get beaten!"

"I did not... "I, no," The kitchen lady was shocked, she never thought that Xi Mengyao would actually dare to say the truth.

How could she, a young miss, not lose face by saying such things? She had never dared to do so before.

"Master, it must be a misunderstanding." The Madame Yun was shocked too and hurried over. She looked at Xi Mengyao and said, "Meng Yao must have misunderstood, how could the kitchen lady have the guts to do such a thing? If she had the guts, she wouldn't have been punished."

"You're wrong." Xi Mengyao sneered, "If she was normally so respectful, she wouldn't have come back to complain!"

"If I don't say it, won't I be beaten to death!" The cook was anxious.

When the Prime Minister heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Were you killed?"

Xi Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

"I …" After thinking for a moment, she stammered, "This old servant is working diligently in the residence, I don't know how I offended Eldest Miss, but I was beaten to such a state. This servant's heart is too unfair, Madame Yun, Madame Yun, you better avenge me!"

As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing a few red marks on her plump arm that were neither light nor heavy. It was unknown how she did it.

Then, she stretched out her feet that she had wrapped into a dumpling.

"She has unreasonably whipped us, and she has treated us harshly. This time, this servant is risking my life to do so."

She was desperate, too, and said yes, but luckily she was quick enough to wrap her feet around her and cut some more.

This was "iron evidence".

"If I say that you didn't do anything, I'll teach you a lesson or two. Then, should I push you out and shoot you?!" If you were to speak out against this master, it would be 'you' and 'me'. Could it be that you are learning the rules here in the Manor? "

As Xi Mengyao said this, she actually stood up and looked down on her.

"You … Young miss should not speak nonsense! " When the kitchen maid heard this, she was also frightened and quickly changed her words.

She knew that the Prime Minister didn't care about anything else, but highly valued his face.

For his sake, he didn't hesitate to send Xi Mengge to the Third Prince's Palace. Even though she knew that the Third Prince had beaten her down 50 times, she did not tell him to let her return. Instead, she scolded him continuously, saying that he had lost face due to Prime Minister's Mansion.

If she treated a young miss like this, then as a servant, wouldn't that mean …?

Thinking about that, her face turned white, and then her gaze landed on Xi Mengyao. Only now did she understand the meaning of what Madame Yun had said before.
