CHAPTER 101 - FAILED TO STEAL CHICKEN

Yes sir! Song Qian answered loudly, and then looked at Xi Mengge.

Xi Mengge stepped out in understanding as she raised her hand to point at Xi Mengyao. It means Crown Princess Jing, you have lost the Emperor's jade ring, yet you still refuse to report it, and have tried to exchange it for truth. This is equivalent to looking down on the Emperor, you are disrespectful to the Emperor!

Her words were loud and powerful, only missing a piece of wood, otherwise, after she said those words, she would have let someone drag Xi Mengyao out and kill him immediately.

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao was not anxious, she only sighed, and looked at her while laughing: You said that I lost something, then do you have any proof? You can't just say it casually like that, right?

Hearing her tone, Xi Mengge felt infuriated.

At this time, Song Qian let out a cold laugh, Uncle and sister really won't shed tears until they see the coffin!

As he spoke, he took out the jade ring from his sleeve and proudly shook it. It seemed as if he wanted to throw it at her face.

Xi Mengyao sighed, raised her eyebrows and laughed: What do you mean by that, Third Prince, you want to take out a jade ring and slap my face?

… Seeing her reaction, Song Qian also frowned and turned to look at Xi Mengge.

Xi Mengge was also stunned, she never thought that she would actually be this calm. Lowering her head to think for a moment, she was unable to find an excuse, and could only look at her. You, don't think you can fool us like this!

Who was it that tried to deceive people? Xi Mengyao sneered, but took a step forward, and said unhurriedly: Looks like this time, you guys are the ones who have brought suffering upon yourselves.

As she spoke, she looked back at the emperor. Since the emperor has come, I'm afraid he didn't just want to come over to pay his respects and watch a farce. Why don't you tell me what you've bestowed upon me?

The emperor was at a loss for words. He knew that he had never bestowed anything to her, but saying these words would definitely make Song Qian look bad.

Xi Mengyao was not in a rush, she turned and raised her eyebrows and looked at Song Qian and Song Qian.

Song Qian looked at her, thought about it, and his expression changed. Frowning, he looked at her in disbelief.

Xi Mengyao turned and looked at Xi Mengge, then pointed at the jade ring: Little sister, look carefully, don't you feel that the jade ring looks familiar?

After Xi Mengge heard this, she subconsciously looked at the jade ring carefully. After looking for a while, her face suddenly changed.

Yesterday, when the servant girl brought the items in, she felt that her chance had finally come. She did not want to look at the jade ring in detail.

Earlier, she only paid attention to it and noticed that the color of the jade ring was different from what she had seen in the past. That was why she felt that it must be a treasure.

It was only then did she realize, upon closer inspection, that this carving, was clearly a arranged marriage within the Prime Minister's Mansion!

She also had a pair of jadeite that was much more expensive than Xi Mengyao's white jade. She had kept them inside her makeup box the entire time and was reluctant to take them out.

Although the one in her hand was made of white jade, it was covered with a layer of red cinnabar and mud. From afar, it looked like blood jade.

She thought, and looked at Xi Mengyao in disbelief.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao knew that she understood, and raised her eyebrows and laughed: What, you finally saw it?

Xi Mengge's face paled as she bit her lips, not daring to say a single word.

Seeing that, Song Qian instantly understood what was going on. This must be a trap! She must have realized that the maidservants they sent over were the ones they sent over, so she set it up!

Song Qian thought, he turned and looked at Xi Mengge, his eyes almost spitting fire.

This made Xi Mengge even more afraid to speak, all she wanted to do was to dig a hole and bury herself inside.

The two of them did not speak a word, but the emperor beside them had never forgotten about him. Seeing this, he said in a low voice with some doubt, Qian Er, didn't you say that he had done something extremely disrespectful? What are you all talking about now?

Song Qian clenched his teeth, he did not know what to say.

When he saw this thing yesterday, he didn't take a good look at it either. He had never expected that the other party would arrange such a huge battle without making a sound!

He frowned and said nothing. But at this time, Song Chongjing opened his mouth at a moderate pace, It looks like this is a misunderstanding.

As he spoke, he slowly walked in front of Song Qian.

He picked up the jade ring on Song Qian's hand, pretended to admire it, then looked at Xi Mengge and said: Then, concubine Xi, do you have anything else to say?

Xi Mengge's face was ashen, she could not even utter a word, she only bit her lips and stood blankly at the side as sweat poured down like rain.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao also followed with a smile, standing behind Song Chongjing like a villain, she laughed: You are not speaking, do you not want to speak, or do you not dare to?

I … Xi Mengge wanted to refute her as soon as she opened her mouth, but when she just spoke, Song Qian's sharp blade cut into her, and she could only shut her mouth.

Looks like there's both. As if she was looking at a joke, Xi Mengyao opened her mouth and said, Then, it's my turn to ask you about it next.

After Xi Mengge heard this, she stared at her blankly. She did not know what she wanted to say, but she opened his mouth.

Who knew that before Xi Mengyao could say anything, Song Qian, who was at the side, did not even think about it.

Xi Mengge was so badly beaten that she almost fell to the ground. Just as she steadied herself, she heard Song Qian scolding her ruthlessly, You damned woman, you actually lied to me and instigated the relationship between me and the Royal Uncle! You, what crime should you bear!

I didn't … Xi Mengge looked at him in disbelief, bit her lips and muttered.

But Song Qian acted as if he did not hear her, and only glared at her fiercely, as though she was truly an evil person.

He only gave her a single glare before turning back to look at the emperor's expression.

Xi Mengge instantly understood that she was already seen as a scapegoat by the Third Prince. She broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't stand up anymore. She kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor. Your Majesty, please spare me … I, I believe in the slanderous! "

She said as if she was grabbing onto her lifeline, and then repeated: Yes, I did listen to the slanderous! They were the ones who said that Big Sister lost the jade ring bestowed by the Emperor in the Prince's Mansion. I thought, this is a great disrespect to the Emperor, that's why … Only now …"

She stuttered as she spoke, and by the end she had no idea what reason to lie.

At this time, the Emperor also understood what this action meant.

He was helpless in his heart and could only glare at Song Qian.

Royal Father, your son did not investigate this matter. Your son will go back and kill those villains! To make an example of others! Song Qian cleared his throat and immediately acted like he was being serious.

Xi Mengyao looked at him, not laughing.

Cough cough, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, then … Forget it, it's better to make peace between relatives." The Emperor coughed as he spoke.

Unexpectedly, a mocking voice came from the corner as soon as he finished speaking.

The emperor is really biased.

CHAPTER 102 - NO DYNASTIES ALLOWED

Everyone turned to look at the one who spoke. It was Xi Mengyao, she said coldly, there was no fear on her face, but she was hiding behind Song Chongjing.

Hearing this, the Emperor suddenly felt uneasy. He looked at that person and didn't know what to say. After looking at her for a while, he squeezed out a smile and asked, Then what is Crown Princess Jing's intention?

Xi Mengyao actually shook her head at this time, Everyone says that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the commoners. As the Son of Heaven, you should treat them fairly. Just now, you were furious because you weren't sure if the Prince was wrong, but now that the Third Prince has made a mistake, you say that it's because of peace.

As she spoke, she lowered her head and sighed, It seems that brotherly affection cannot compare with that of my son.

Hearing this, the emperor clenched his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.

But now that he was in the Prince Jing Palace and there were even servants of the Third Prince Palace following behind him, the group of people were all looking at him with wide eyes, so naturally, he couldn't do anything to Xi Mengyao.

In his heart, he only hated Song Qian for not finding a good reason why he could not meet his expectations.

As he thought about it, he actually stood up and also gave Song Qian a slap on the face with the back of his hand. How could you doubt your Royal Uncle? Do you know how many merits your Royal Uncle has rendered to me?! You better get the hell back to reflect on this for me!

Xi Mengyao still raised her eyebrows.

The emperor ruthlessly squeezed out a sentence. These days, don't go to court! Close your doors and think about it at home. When have you figured out how to write a crime book and go back to court?"

After speaking, he brought along his father-in-law as he flicked his sleeves and departed.

Song Qian knelt on the ground, and upon hearing these words, his face instantly turned white.

After an unknown period of time, he finally recovered and raised his head to look at Song Chongjing and Xi Mengyao.

However, Xi Mengyao seemed to completely not know what he was thinking, and actually smiled and waved at him. "Third Prince, get up.

… Song Qian wanted to speak, but Song Chongjing remained silent and only looked at him coldly.

It was as if as long as he dared to do something, he would be able to immediately chop off his head.

How could he compete in martial arts? Moreover, it was obvious that the other party had the upper hand this time.

He was helpless, but in the end, he could only dejectedly stand up, turn around and walk out. When he walked out, Xi Mengge was also following behind her.

Xi Mengge was like a little dog who had been abandoned, her entire body trembling, but she did not dare fall too far, and followed closely behind the Palace disciples, leaving very quickly.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xi Mengyao clapped her hands, We've done it. It seems like they're not that easy to deal with."

From her tone, it sounded like she was playing around.

Song Chongjing was extremely helpless as he stared at her: How could this king not realize that you are so capable in the past? You sure are good at causing trouble.

Xi Mengyao extended his index finger out and shook it: This is not the same, this is what you call returning the favor back to me.

After saying that, she yawned and turned around to go back to sleep.

Wait! Seeing that, Song Chongjing immediately stopped her.

What? Xi Mengyao turned around and looked at him: What business does Your Highness have?

They've suffered so much because of you, so they won't let this go easily. This matter will definitely have a backup plan. When the time comes, what are you planning to do?

Xi Mengyao looked at him, but raised his brows and laughed, My prince, this matter is clearly something that you should be thinking about.

What do you mean? Song Chongjing turned and look at her.

Xi Mengyao shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly: No matter what the truth is, in the eyes of the people around me, I am just one of your men. Capturing thieves is the best to capture the king, and there is no need for people to grab a small fry of me.

Song Chongjing finally understood what she meant. When he thought about how she acted like this, he immediately knew that he had been messed with by this girl.

He sighed, but did not scold her, and only looked at Xi Mengyao, and said: Since you understood everything so well, then why didn't you think of a way to solve the problem once and for all?

Xi Mengyao laughed when she heard this, How can it be so easy to settle things once and for all? There really is no solution to settle things once and for all in this world. It's just that I don't have it, which is why I calculated it step by step."

She said, and pointed outside, But Prince Jing, the first thing you have to do now, is not to question me.

Why don't you go and get someone to fill up that hole in your broken wall? Someone will sneak in later. She pursed her lips thoughtfully and said slowly, Don't think that this will end here.

Isn't it? Song Chongjing frowned.

Now that you know who sent the maidservants here, you probably didn't catch the black-cloaked man who did all those things. Xi Mengyao said, then yawned: Moreover, if I were you, I would send her to Third Prince right now. Bring all the maids who have questions here and interrogate them.

Oh?

A change will happen if we delay. Since you're marching to war, you should know that the details are the most important. Xi Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

Song Chongjing looked at her indifferently, then turned his head and said: Then how would I know who it was that was handed over.

So that's what you're asking. Xi Mengyao thoughtfully nodded her head, she pursed her lips and pointed to her feet: Instructor Hu, you need to see if they have cinnabar on their embroidered shoes, that's all.

Cinnabar? Song Chongjing looked at her with doubt in his eyes: What did you do now?

Xi Mengyao waved her hand, No need to thank me, I just did a good thing.

Saying that, she was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Song Chongjing looking at her doubtfully. She shook her head helplessly: Don't worry, I am a person who never begs for thanks for good deeds.

As she spoke, she turned around and waved her hand. She didn't do anything else and just left.

Song Chongjing looked at her elegant back, and could only shake his head helplessly. In the end, he did not speak anymore, and only ordered people to go to the Third Prince Palace to get people.

Lu Ming personally went to the Third Prince Palace to ask for the person. Even if the other party was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.

By the time he brought the maidservants over, it was already late in the morning.

On the other hand, Xi Mengyao was resting in her room, she was not interested in being interrogated, so even if she went over, she might still suspect him.

Princess. At this moment, someone knocked on her door.

Who is it? Xi Mengyao asked curiously.

The people outside paused for a moment, then coughed lightly, saying that Song Chongjing had sent her here, allowing her to leave.

Xi Mengyao frowned, looking at the shadow on the door, it was indeed a young servant girl. She pushed the door open suspiciously and saw Gu Qing standing outside with her head lowered and a radiant look on her face.

CHAPTER 103 - KILLER

Yo, Miss Gu is in a good mood. Xi Mengyao laughed and said.

Greetings, wangfei … Gu Qing didn't dare to say anything else, and lowered her head even more.

Xi Mengyao knew that the person who was joking behind her back the day before, was definitely her as well. From the looks of it, she probably knew what happened yesterday. It was just a scam.

She was afraid of regret, so she didn't dare to face it.

Whatever, what did he ask you to do?

Seeing her like this, Xi Mengyao only felt bored and was not interested in teasing her. She only shook his head.

The Prince said that the person has been brought over and wants you to take a look. She bit the village and looked outside.

Xi Mengyao felt it was strange, she followed them and discovered that, at some point in time, a bunch of maids were standing outside the door. She counted a total of five people.

Upon closer inspection, they were all familiar faces.

Wasn't this the group that had escaped from the manor last night?

She puzzledly went out, looked at them and asked, What are you guys doing here? Who told you to come over?

Those people lowered their heads, their bodies trembling. They didn't know what to say.

Seeing that, Xi Mengyao recalled what Gu Qing said before, and sighed: Did that guy ask you to come here?

They were all stunned as they didn't know who she was referring to by saying 'that guy'.

Prince Jing let you come here? She had no choice but to explain, You people aren't cautious when doing things. Since you've sneaked in, you should at least know your master's habits.

The maidservants widened their eyes and could only nod, not daring to say anything else.

You're so timid, and you still want to learn how to play immoral? Xi Mengyao was helpless, Why did he ask you all to come here?

... No, I don't know. The leader trembled as he spoke.

Xi Mengyao looked at her indifferently, and was immediately amused: Hey, I know you. Did you fall yesterday?

The servant looked up in astonishment, who knew that at this time, she would suddenly open her eyes wide, and before Xi Mengyao could react, he saw her eyes wide open as she walked straight ahead, and fell to the ground.

He had actually died.

Who is it! Xi Mengyao immediately frowned, she turned and looked around, but there was no one around, everything was quiet, as though nothing had happened.

Help! Help, someone is trying to kill us! When the maidservants saw this situation, they could not bear it any longer and knelt down on the ground. They held their heads and began to cry bitterly.

Don't be nervous! Xi Mengyao frowned, she bellowed and immediately turned to look at Gu Qing: You, bring everyone to my room, watch the doors and windows, let the guards in.

With that, she turned her head to look at the shivering girls. All of you should go back and hide. No one will hurt you there.

The few of them did not know what to do, so they could only nod and follow the others, turning back three times a step as if they were afraid.

These people all looked very unusual.

It was as if they knew they were going to be killed.

Xi Mengyao thought as she squatted down to take a look at the servant's appearance. She still maintained her shocked look, opening her eyes wide and her mouth slightly ajar, as if she wanted to ask something.

Her body was in perfect condition, and there was only a needle-sized red dot on her forehead.

Xi Mengyao immediately bent down to look, only to realize that within a few seconds, the red dot had already spread out, its color becoming darker and darker, quickly turning into a black purple color.

It was a poisonous needle, and it was extremely poisonous.

She frowned and thought for a moment before taking out a handkerchief to wrap around her hand. Then, she forcefully pressed it between the man's eyebrows. There was no hard object.

Hiss … Xi Mengyao frowned.

She looked at the rest of the house, and apart from that, there was nothing strange about it.

Could it be ice needles? she said to herself.

In the past, she had also experienced such cases. She had used venom to make ice cones. The ice cones were very tough, and when the venom evaporated, it would quickly cause death. After that, the ice cones would melt and the weapons would be gone.

However, those ice cones were made using ultra-low temperature freezing, so there was no way they could have such a technique right now.

She stood up and looked around.

It was just a simple courtyard with a flowerbed in front of him. Now that the flowers were gone, all that was left was a pot of dead branches and leaves.

Far away is a small pond, but it's too far away.

There weren't many places that could hide people, so when she looked carefully, she couldn't find any signs of human activity. She put her finger to her chin and frowned thoughtfully.

At that moment, he suddenly heard a scream from his own courtyard behind her, Ah!

Xi Mengyao turned her head fiercely, and in that moment, a light flashed through her mind. She rushed forward fiercely, and saw that in her own courtyard, there was indeed a person lying down.

He was still the same as the previous person, and the last expression of shock on his face when he died was frozen on his face, making him look extremely strange.

Esteemed wangfei, this, this … Gu Qing was terrified. She was a maidservant in the mansion, but she had never seen such a murderous scene before.

Xi Mengyao glanced at her and then pushed her away.

The remaining three servant girls huddled themselves together and looked at Xi Mengyao fearfully, as if she was some ferocious beast.

But at this moment, Xi Mengyao raised a cold smile, and directly walked towards the person in the middle. She stretched out her hand, grabbed Yu Han, and directly dragged her out.

Royal Consort … Esteemed wangfei, what are you trying to do?" Yu Han trembled, her entire body was trembling like a sieve.

Xi Mengyao looked at her from top to bottom, and then, used her deadly hand to viciously pinch her wrist. Do you still want to harm others!?

She squeezed her hand and held it up.

Yu Han's face changed, and her fingers loosened.

Xi Mengyao only saw a silver light flash past in a flash from the corner of her eyes. She did not even look at it, and only stared at her, Who would have thought that you would dare to kill someone like your dear sister, who was so intimate yesterday!

... You, Yu Han looked at her with a helpless look, as if she still wanted to quibble.

The two maidservants behind her also stood up, as if they wanted to defend her, but when they saw Xi Mengyao, they also stopped in their tracks, and only looked at them.

There's no need to quibble. Your weapon is still on you, right? Do you dare let me search?

Xi Mengyao lowered her voice, and her tone was like a blade that had been frozen in ice, slicing her body little by little.

Yu Han looked at her. After looking at her for a long time, she suddenly laughed: Hahaha, I really never thought that even Prince Jing could not tell that something is wrong with me. You actually saw through it.

As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed as a trace of viciousness appeared on her face.

Princess, be careful! Gu Qing shouted.

But it was already too late, Yu Han had already unsheathed his dagger, she quickly raised it, and the blade already reached Xi Mengyao's eyes!

Ah!

A blood-curdling scream instantly rang out.

However, the one who fell in the end was actually Yu Han.

CHAPTER 104 - QUESTIONING

This is …

Xi Mengyao looked at the person who fell in front of her in shock. After a single glance, she immediately turned her head, and as expected, she saw Song Chongjing standing not far behind her with a cold face.

Why are you here? I haven't even asked!

She was not in a good mood. She complained for a bit before squatting down and carefully examining the fallen person. It seemed that he had held back and did not kill him, but that was about it.

The hilt of the knife was crooked and had been inserted into her shoulder. It looked like it had just missed the artery.

Someone harmed you, yet you still show mercy? Song Chongjing walked over with his hands behind his back, and stood behind her, and lowered his head to look at the servant girl who had fallen to the ground, I let you interrogate his, but you, you delivered yourself up to be set up.

Please open your eyes, Your Highness. I'm here to capture the murderer.

Xi Mengyao rolled her eyes and ignored him, turning to look at the maidservants who were hiding in the corner and hugging each other while trembling.

Did you see it clearly? Your benefactors have revealed their true forms, and your masters do not want you anymore. Now that I have given you two paths, spit out everything you know.

Xi Mengyao pointed to the door, there was another person lying there, but when she turned back, she saw that he had been moved away.

Seeing this, the few of them did not know what to say, and could only stare blankly. They knew that this was a threat, but none of them knew which one was more serious.

Looks like you guys are quite loyal. Xi Mengyao sneered.

… What did the young maid know? She lowered her head even more.

Since that's the case, then people, bring this group of people …

Princess!

As soon as she said this, someone immediately kneeled on the ground. It seemed that they had finally weighed the pros and cons.

You've figured it out? Xi Mengyao sneered.

Yes … The few of them nodded.

Alright, then let me ask you this. What is your master's purpose for doing this? How much do you know? Xi Mengyao did not hold back and directly walked into the middle of the group.

These maidservants were all afraid that she would do something to them, so they quickly retreated. However, they only retreated a few steps before they found a wall behind them. They had nowhere to retreat to, so they could only stare at her blankly.

Xi Mengyao felt sick, she shook her head and said: What's going on with you guys? Can I bite you guys to death?

Seeing this, the others shook their heads and bit their lips, not saying a word.

Answer me! Xi Mengyao lost her patience.

Servants … I don't know … The maidservants were all trembling in fear. Finally, someone finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

You don't know? When Xi Mengyao heard this, she only sneered, I don't know, or I can't say!

Without waiting for their response, she condescendingly said to them, My troubles are limited. If you guys have anything to hide and I find out, then I won't be polite.

Their faces were all pale. One of them wanted to speak, but the other stopped him. The few of them looked at each other, then turned to look at Song Chongjing again.

Xi Mengyao immediately understood and laughed, Looks like all of you feel that there's someone by your side that you cannot say.

She looked at Song Chongjing if she was pointing a finger: Your Highness, please.

Song Chongjing did not allow them to do so, and only coldly looked at them. "Since you want to say it, then speak frankly.

After which, he raised his hand.

The guard immediately rushed in and surrounded the maidservants.

They screamed at once, and the sound nearly tore the roof off. Xi Mengyao hurriedly covered her ears and retreated a few steps. When the few of them stopped, she helplessly said: "Who are you?

She turned to look at Song Chongjing, only to see that he was determined to not leave. She could only helplessly take a deep breath.

"See, there's nothing I can do about it. If you do not want this person to hear your words, then I am afraid you will not be able to guarantee your safety.

As she spoke, she turned to look at Song Chongjing.

Seeing the clear provocation in his gaze, Song Chongjing could only shake his head and ignore her. He walked over to the others and spoke coldly: Since you have come to my place, there is only one way to be frank. You can decide whether to talk about it here or go to my dungeon.

As he spoke, he stepped aside and the guard took half a step forward.

Aren't the servants … I'm afraid you'll listen but …"

Then, how exactly is it that I will handle it according to the circumstances. Although his words weren't heavy, but when he opened his mouth, his face was very serious.

It was as if he was going to pull out a knife in the next second.

Only then did the maidservants sigh. They looked around, then nodded timidly and said, Your Highness … Actually, the servants have not fully participated in the battle yet, but we know how powerful that person is, if we were to say it out loud, will you be able to guarantee our safety? "

Xi Mengyao laughed after hearing this, Are you still thinking of protecting your own safety? Let's first think about whether that person can let you live or not after you finish talking about this.

She was just here to watch the show.

When the maidservants heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They already understood their current situation and could only shake their heads and sigh, That's true … We didn't figure it out ourselves …"

After saying that, they gritted their teeth and turned to look at Xi Mengyao, and said: We came here because we were ordered by someone.

Xi Mengyao nodded her head: Seeing your guts, you guys do not seem to be someone who can be a spy.

Hmm? When the few of them heard this, their faces were somewhat puzzled, but they did not refute her in the end.

On the other hand, Song Chongjing turned to look at her. Xi Mengyao was puzzled, only then did she remember that he was not a spy, but a spy instead.

She coughed and pretended not to know.

We, in fact, do not know what exactly they are planning to do. It's just that we heard from the young lady the day before yesterday that we met a godly person who could be of great help to her.

Xi Mengge directly said that he wanted them to come and help her with some things, and she had also said that if the few of them were not willing, then he would sell them to a brothel.

They were all girls who sold themselves. Wherever the indenture contract went, they would belong to.

Even if the maidservants were servants, they didn't want to do this.

The Miss also said that if the matter is successful, she would return the indenture contract to the servants, and then return the servants fifty taels of silver.

What is it?

Miss only said it was a big matter. Every day, someone would go to the corner of the wall and notify us of what they wanted to do …

She said it in an extremely obscure tone, but Xi Mengyao knew about this immediately. Doing some things would only be pushing her into a pit of fire.

However, she did not have much of an impression of this.

Xi Mengge had done this kind of thing in the past, and she was already used to it. Moreover, it seemed that none of those things had succeeded.

She did not believe that the weak Xi Mengyao could endure for so long.

CHAPTER 105 - A SERVANT'S METHOD

Moreover, she had already captured all the people this time. Even if she tried to do something, she probably wouldn't succeed.

However, she found it strange this time. How did you manage to insert someone in here? With your abilities, I can track you all with just a little trick. Why is it that no one in the Prince's Mansion has noticed you at all?"

As she spoke, she looked back. Did you bribe someone inside?

This was the weirdest thing about this matter for Xi Mengyao.

Logically speaking, there weren't many girls in the mansion, and the few that came out didn't feel anything at all. If it were any other time, she would never believe that this would happen to her.

Available... When she had gone over to take a look, the maidservants in the mansion seemed to have known of her presence. This had happened just like that …

Hearing her question, the girls looked at each other, then whispered, Actually, it wasn't us who snuck in, but someone who brought us in.

Song Chongjing frowned at this time and asked in disbelief, Are you saying that there's a traitor within this mansion?

They hurriedly shook their heads. It's not a traitor …

Then what do you mean by that? Xi Mengyao frowned.

These maidservants bit their lips and looked at each other again before softly explaining, In the end, it is the prince and prince. You are the lords, so you naturally don't understand some of the methods among these people …

As they spoke, they sighed, Which one of you doesn't want to be lazy?

But they were helpless. If they were truly lazy and were discovered by their master, they would definitely be punished.

Sometimes, things in the mansion didn't even become clear, and he didn't know who should do what.

This way, someone would push these matters to someone who wanted to come in and do something.

It was the same for the rich and powerful families, not to mention this was the prince's mansion.

There were many people who wanted to sneak in.

That's how we are. We made an excuse saying that we had escaped here and wanted to beg for a meal here. "Let us do the hard work for the coarse maidservants.

There's such a thing? Xi Mengyao did not believe it.

The maidservants also helplessly said, In an ordinary family's house, there is no way that so many people would enter. However, for a palace like yours, the number of maidservants who come to beg everyday is at least ten people. As long as we don't come into contact with Master, no one will care about it. "

After all, with the status of the Duke's Mansion here, no one would believe that a few extremely heavily guarded maids would cause such a huge commotion.

But what you're saying is that someone wants to control you. Xi Mengyao shook her head.

She nodded and sighed as she thought about it, It's like this …

She then told him everything that had happened.

It turned out that there was a person in the mansion who bribed the mansion's housekeeper, and so they had snuck in to hide. It was only under her arrangements that they were able to occasionally move around.

However, they didn't know how that person had managed to sneak in.

She has always been very cautious. She even sent us messages through a wall. We don't know who she is, but it sounds like she's a girl with a very rough voice.

After hearing it, Xi Mengyao and the others were all very surprised.

They had originally thought that this person had snuck in. Who would have thought that there was such a thing as laziness in the mansion?

Speaking of which, this is also because the administration of the Prince's Mansion is not strict. Xi Mengyao said as she turned to look at Song Chongjing, It looks like it's not the same thing you said to discipline your subordinates.

Hearing her words, the group of servants all thought it was scolding, and none of them dared to speak.

At this time, Xi Mengyao lightly shook her head, You guys don't have to be so nervous, I just casually said that.

As she spoke, she turned to look at them, Then why did you sneak in just like that and help others so easily? These maidservants did not suspect that you were planning to sneak in from the outside.

When she was designing it previously, she could see that there were a few big girls.

Those people should be more strict, and wouldn't ask about anything. Moreover, they were aware of the recent mishaps in the Prince's Mansion as well.

Hearing that, they all shook their heads: This is what we are curious about, but, everything was arranged by Sister Yu Han previously, we, who are responsible for chores, do not know much about it. Every single time, when Big Sister Yu Han received news of that person, and after she had arranged it herself, she would only tell us where to go and what to do.

Are you fools? You're not asking me anything?

Xi Mengyao was a little unhappy.

We... We're just used to it. According to what she said, we didn't think about anything else. We … I just want to live …"

The maidservants were also helpless as they did not have such great revenge.

She has such great ability? Xi Mengyao looked, and still could not believe it.

If he really had such great ability, then he would have to convince everything. Since that was the case, why did he have to kill them himself? It would be fine to just incite one of them.

As she thought about this, she lowered her head and looked at Yu Han, who was lying in a pool of blood. She frowned for a moment, then turned around to look at Song Chongjing and said, It's better if you go ask your butler. Such a big matter.

Song Chongjing nodded his head, he did not hesitate and did not leave, but immediately asked the people in charge to come over and ask.

Upon hearing his order, the servants were all filled with fear and trepidation. Although they all felt somewhat puzzled, they could only go over.

Seeing that they had arrived, they were just about to ask when they realized that one of them was missing.

Manager Li is here! Song Chongjing frowned.

This was the little housekeeper that he had mentioned earlier, but he hadn't arrived yet.

He … He just said that he would be here soon …" The head steward turned around, puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw someone run over while gasping for breath, No, this is bad. Manager Li is in the room. He's hanging himself!

What!

Everyone in the room was shocked, while Song Chongjing's face was as cold as ice.

On the other hand, Xi Mengyao's expression was still alright. She only thought about it, and then concluded, It seems like there is someone around this little housekeeper who is doing something.

Song Chongjing also nodded his head, but even if he knew, at the moment, he did not have a good idea.

In my opinion, you are still the main culprit in this matter. Xi Mengyao was still teasing her on the side.

Although Song Chongjing's expression was not good, he nodded his head, he did not have much of an obstacle in admitting his wrongs.

Besides, the two of them could be considered to have spoken freely, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

At that moment, she suddenly felt someone looking at her!

CHAPTER 106 - OLD HOUSEKEEPER

Xi Mengyao frowned, when she turned her head to look, she saw a group of butler standing in a row outside.

Xi Mengyao felt it was strange, and frowned as she looked over.

She thought for a moment. She probably didn't do anything disrespectful before, so why was there someone looking at her with a gaze? Something didn't seem right, it seemed to be filled with hatred …

She hesitated for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and smiled at
