"Princess, shall we go back to the palace?" Cuizhi asked in a low voice outside the car.
As the most useful person around the princess, she was immediately sensitive to the princess' overwhelming sadness and anger.
So when she speaks, she has to be extra careful.
As the saying goes, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.
She is Princess Shunyang's closest and most trusted servant, and at the same time she is the one who most directly bears the princess's wrath.
Especially Princess Shunyang.
On the surface, outsiders only think that this princess is gentle, kind and respectful, but the more familiar she is, the more they know that her true character is scheming, ferocious and violent.
"Go back to what palace? Is it time to go back to the palace now?" Shunyang scolded him in the carriage.
When Cuizhi heard these angry words, she asked, "Princess, shall we go out of the city?"
Since she doesn't want to enter the palace, she has to go out of the city to Sujiacun. The princess has always wanted to meet and get along with Xiaohou alone. If she wants to fulfill this wish, she has no choice but to leave the palace.
Following Princess Nianyun's footsteps, they will definitely find Xiao Hou.
"Leave the city?" Shunyang scolded again from inside the carriage, "Were you deaf just now? The city gate closed half an hour before you heard it. Do you want me, a majestic princess, to wander outside the city in the middle of the night?
"
"No, no, this is not what I mean," Cuizhi said hurriedly.
It would be wrong to say too much. She didn't want to give any more advice to the princess later on. She just bowed her head respectfully and waited for instructions next to the carriage.
"What are you doing?"
After not hearing Cuizhi's voice for a while, Shunyang said again, "At this time, if you don't give me any advice, master, are you just in a daze?"
Cuizhi was about to cry without tears.
The princess was basically taking her anger out on her. She said it was wrong to go back to the palace and it was wrong to go out to the city. So what should she say?
"You trash!" Shunyang finally couldn't help scolding Cuizhi, "If you haven't gone to the Chen Mansion, what are you waiting for?"
"Chen Mansion?" Cuizhi was stunned.
"I will go back to the palace later to report to the Queen Mother. You don't have to go back with me. You can go to the Chen family and let them continue to fulfill their promise to me."
"But princess, that Chen Shao'an is no longer able to hold up the wall. I told him twice and he screwed up both times. Not only that..."
"I don't care!"
Shunyang interrupted her, "I don't care about all the reasons you mentioned. I only know that if I don't destroy Su Nianyun's reputation, I will feel uncomfortable!"
"We must not let Su Nianyun marry Xiao Changfeng, absolutely not!"
After hearing the princess's hysterics in the carriage, Cuizhi knew that she had received another almost impossible task.
But even if it was impossible to complete, she still carried out it seriously.
Just because she doesn't do it, the princess will ask someone else to do it, and when the time comes, her position will be replaced.
When serving Princess Shunyang, if the person serving you is marginalized, then this slave will be miserable in the future.
Therefore, Cuizhi and the princess's carriage parted ways and went straight to the direction of Chen's house.
Every time she comes to the Chen family, there is a new change.
Other people's mansions are getting better and better and more prosperous, but the Chen Mansion is now a mess.
Because Chen Shaoan failed to complete the princess's mission twice, he did not receive the reward promised by the princess.
The Chen Mansion, which could not afford to support its servants, was in a mess.
There was no longer a gatekeeper. The door opened with a slight push, and Cuizhi walked in cautiously.
As soon as she stepped in, her entire foot was buried under deep dead branches and leaves.
If she hadn't known there were people inside, she would have thought this was an abandoned mansion.
Cuizhi endured her nausea and slowly looked for a place to stay among the dead branches and leaves.
She was really afraid that in a place like this, some snakes, insects, rats, and ants would suddenly spring out and startle her.
But whatever comes to mind comes to mind.
When she stepped on a branch, she woke up a toad in a dead leaf.
Seeing the toad with its gray belly opening and closing its mouth towards him, Cuizhi almost felt disgusted and wanted to vomit it out.
Even if there are no servants in the house, there is still a master.
Mrs. Chen, the head of the family, is no longer here, but she still has three sons.
Among the three sons, except for the third son, Chen Shaoting, who is studying, those two have their own romantic affairs.
Even if they added those concubines who came to their door and cleaned it casually, their mansion wouldn't be like this, right?
Cuizhi was just thinking when she saw a white-faced scholar walking down the corridor.
After entering the house for a while, Cuizhi finally saw someone. Cuizhi was overjoyed. She thought the person was here to greet her.
Unexpectedly, the white-faced scholar just walked over to meet him and continued walking out of the house without saying a word.
"Hey, you..." Cuizhi called to him.
The man looked back at Cuizhi, "What are you doing?"
Cuizhi said, "This young master, if I read it correctly, you should be Chen Shaoting, the third young master of the Chen family, right?"
Chen Shaoting looked up and down Cuizhi with haggard eyes, "So what?"
Cuizhi heard endless indifference and alienation from his voice.
She said helplessly, "I entered your mansion as a grown-up person. Aren't you curious about who I am and why I came to your house?"
Chen Shaoting acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, "The Chen Mansion is already like this. There are no other people here except those who want debts."
"My eldest brother Chen Shaoan is in charge. If you want to ask for money from him, just go in and find it yourself. Everything has nothing to do with me!"
After saying that, Chen Shaoting turned around and left without saying another word to Cuizhi.
Because his brother's examination fraud had a huge impact on him, he could not take the examination for the time being, and he was too embarrassed to study in the academy.
Since his mother left, he became increasingly uncomfortable staying in the mansion, so the bookworm Chen Shaoting simply packed up his things and went to find a clean temple to study.
Everything that happened in the Chen family seemed to have nothing to do with him. He just flicked his sleeves like this and didn't take it away at all.
"Oh my God!" Cuizhi thought to himself, what kind of family are these? The three brothers in this family are all really ruthless.
Cuizhi sighed, but he still did not forget his mission.
When she walked to the lobby of Chen Mansion, she finally saw human figures and heard human voices.
However, it was the sound of sharp female quarrels.
Zhou Yao and Biyu were pulling their hair and fighting.
After Shunyang used Chen Shaoan and Zhou Yao to throw dirty water on Su Nianyun last time, Zhou Yao was not sent back to the Southwest Hospital again.
After a lot of trouble, Chen Shaoan no longer wanted to imprison her. The door was open anyway, and Zhou Yao could stay or leave as she pleased.
Originally, he thought Zhou Yao would leave without hesitation, after all, he had imprisoned her for so long.
And Zhou Yao's stay made Chen Shaoan mistakenly believe that Zhou Yao still had feelings for him, although he no longer liked Zhou Yao.
In fact, the reason why Zhou Yao was willing to live in the Chen family was because she had no money and no new place to live, so she could only linger in the Chen family.
