In the solemn and dignified hall, the golden light was resplendent, and the servant s were still kneeling in the middle of the hall below the stairs. Before the King Jin even spoke, no matter who it was, they were not allowed to get up.

Her heart had been hanging high in the air, afraid that Luo Shang would give her up. Although the Duke wouldn't believe what she had said, at the moment, her heart was still feeling uneasy. When she heard Luo Shang's words and saw that she did not explain, she heaved a sigh of relief and raised her sleeves to wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.

A cold aura gathered in the hall, especially after the woman spoke so generously. The icy aura in the air became even stronger.

What Luo Shang had said, caused the man in front of her to slightly narrow his deep eyebrows. The corners of his lips slightly raised without any blemishes on his cold and handsome face, and his expression fluctuated between light and darkness. He spoke in an indifferent tone that did not contain any intertwined emotions, "Very good. This King gave you a chance, but it's you who doesn't know how to cherish it. Since that's the case, then we shall report this matter to the imperial court according to the rules of the Palace. "

The man curled his lips, his eyes carrying a bit of sneer. His black pupils moved closer to the side of her face, and he whispered into her ear with a terrifying coldness in his voice, "Being disrespectful to the Leng ancestor is a disrespect to the late emperor. This king thinks that this crime will allow your Luo Family to spend the rest of their lives in the prison."

Leng Shaoyu's words were definitely not meant to scare her.

When the late emperor was still alive and a prince, he placed great importance on filial piety. On the basis of the original imperial mausoleum, he also set up his own unique ancestral hall to worship his ancestors as a token of his love and respect. After that, the late emperor ascended the throne, left the King Jin Palace and moved to the imperial city. Ever since Leng Shaoyu was conferred the title of Duke by the King Jin to live here, he was like the previous emperor, respecting the filial piety. Every year, he would hold a ceremony to worship the ancestors, and he viewed this matter as especially important.

His words, made Luo Shang, in her proud and aloof heart, slowly become anxious and terrified. She raised her watery eyes and looked at him. The man's devilishly charming lips were unable to discern his current emotions. It was also impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.

"This was caused by me alone and has nothing to do with my family. If King Jin wants to pursue the matter, he should do so in accordance to the rules. " Luo Shang's indifferent eyes swept across the man and caught a glimpse of his mocking and disdainful expression when she looked at her.

Follow the rules? He had tortured her and hated her because she was a daughter of the Luo Family. He had even wanted her to let her family off the hook according to the rules. This woman was truly a wishful thinking. Moreover, Wu Zhou's hierarchy is very strict, it is disrespectful to the royal family, if it is serious, it is enough to exterminate the nine families.

Leng Shaoyu sneered, and the slender hands behind his back slowly withdrew. His arms were wrapped around his shoulders, and a pair of eyes that were not quite a smile glanced at her, before he turned around and walked up the stairs.

Luo Shang carefully thought about what he had said. If this man really reported this matter to the imperial court, then she would not be able to escape from the Gan Department. If she really brought the Luo Family over to the tiger's mouth, wouldn't that be …

She quickly turned around and said to the man, "The King Jin blames you for not being able to hand over a complete scripture on the day of the ancestral worship ceremony. If... If I can repair this, then I hope that King Jin will not punish the Luo Residence. "

Leng Shaoyu stopped in his tracks, he did not turn back, but smiled with interest. This woman really thinks too highly of me. Does she think that I can do anything? Don't think that you can turn talent into one with just a few brushes.

The Magister of Baohua Hall who created this scripture has long been lost, and the search for him is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Now that there is no original text, how does the Princess intend to copy the essence of this book?" Even if the princess could copy it, how long would it take, a year? Two years? Or a lifetime? If it's really that long, don't tell me we have to wait for Princess Hua-Yang that long? " The nun at her side looked at her and said in a harsh tone of disapproval.

This thousand scriptures had cost that mage a lifetime of effort to condense it, and he poured all of his blood and sweat into this scripture. It was like this for a mage, not to mention a young lady like her who only knew a little about this. How could she be able to copy it so easily?

Luo Shang looked at the maidservant s kneeling on the ground. After pausing for a moment, she puckered her lips and said to the man's back: "Three days. I beg Your Highness to give me three days' time.

The maidservant s who were kneeling on the ground started whispering to each other. Three days? How could that be possible? The things that she had copied for her entire life, how could they be completed in just three days? With Princess Hua-Yang's solemn words, it would be difficult for her to do as she said.

When the kneeling Yun Xiu heard Luo Shang's words, happiness blossomed in her heart. Raising the corners of her sinister and evil mouth, she let out a malicious laugh. For three days, she wanted to see how this woman would humiliate herself.

"This duke can give you three days, but if you don't hand over the results that satisfy this duke after three days, then — —" Leng Shaoyu turned his head to look at her, he definitely wouldn't believe that she could really do it. A woman without talent was a virtue. Which young miss wouldn't waste time embroidering red flowers, and instead study the scriptures in detail? At least in the General's Mansion, Luo Ke wouldn't allow it. She was smart, but not smart enough.

Luo Shang tilted her head, and took the lead to say: "If after three days you do not meet the requirements that will satisfy Your Highness, then I will let you decide."

Looking at her proud and confident face, Leng Shaoyu glanced at her with contempt. His cold and dark pupils shrank down to the corners of his eyes. Well, he wanted to see what this woman would give him in three days.

"Ma Gu will stay, everyone else can leave." Leng Shaoyu put his hands behind his back and raised his head.

The large hall was very spacious and bright. Every decoration and carving symbolized a man's lofty and unquestionable status.

When they left the great hall, Ma Gu saw that the man did not speak, so he stepped forward and called out, "Prince!"

Leng Shaoyu did not turn around, his back was still facing her. Take care of your servant. This king does not wish to see such a thing happen a second time. "

His voice was ice-cold. Even though it didn't contain any anger, it was still capable of freezing a living person.

Ma Gu was startled, and her face immediately turned pale white. So it turns out that even the Duke knew that her subordinate servant had done it, and it was no wonder, with her brain, that she could see through the culprit. However, the Ancestral Scripture was a huge matter. The Prince did not blame her, nor did he punish Yun Xiu and the others.

Ma Gu frantically knelt down, overlapping her hands in front of him as she kowtowed. servant did not do well, and did not know that her subordinate servant would be stupid enough to do such a stupid thing, so I ask for your punishment, your highness. "

She was truly unaware of this matter. Even if she wanted to intentionally make things difficult for Luo Shang and frame him, she would definitely not joke around with the scripture. Yun Xiu really had the guts to actually lie to her after doing such a thing.

Ma Gu knelt in the great hall for a long time, but the Duke did not let her get up. She did not dare to get up until the man walked into a side room with exhaustion and tiredness. Only then, did she carefully withdraw.

She had just left the hall and closed the door, only to see Yun Xiu at the entrance.

Seeing Ma Gu coming out, Yun Xiu immediately went forward to welcome him with a smile: "Aunt, you finally came out, what did the Prince say?"

"Pa ~ ~ ~"

A loud and clear sound came from outside the door. Yun Xiu had been slapped so hard that she tilted her head to the side, the corners of her mouth still stained with blood.

Just as Ma Gu's hand landed on the ground, she looked at her with anger and wanted to slap her to death. Yun Xiu, since when is it your turn to act on your own, is it because you have no other choice but to act on behalf of me? "

Yun Xiu hurriedly knelt down and said in her heart: Ma Gu must have found out that she had done this. Seeing how angry she is, she must definitely be unwilling to forgive me, what should I do?

"servant does not dare, servant does not dare. "The reason why servant is doing this is to help Aunt clean up the obstacles. The servant is wholeheartedly working for Aunt and is very loyal. She knelt on the ground and continuously kowtowed until her forehead had a large hole, but she didn't dare to stop.

"Whether you are wholeheartedly devoted to me, or are you trying to use this opportunity to bring the princess down and attract the attention of the king, you should know better." Ma Gu stared at her eyes that were rolling back and forth. Although this girl looked down on her, her mischievous nature wasn't inferior in the slightest.

Yun Xiu was rendered speechless by her words. She raised her head, looked at Ma Gu with an aggrieved expression, and immediately stretched out her finger, swearing towards the sky. Aunt, please explain this once in awhile. If I have second thoughts towards you, let me, Yun Xiu, blast you to death without a burial ground! "

"Humph!" From today onwards, remove the position of maidservant in your Duke Palace and let someone else handle it. You will then properly stay in your servant position and reflect upon it, so as to not stir up trouble for me by going out. " Ma Gu was extremely furious, she never thought that this girl would actually dare to make a move on the scripture of the Ancestral Worship Ceremony in the Leng Clan Ancestral Hall, causing her to be implicated. Even the Duke didn't blame her this time, if not, not to mention her life, even Ma Gu would not be able to escape from her clutches.

"Aunt, aunt, you don't want the servant anymore? Aunt, give me another chance, give servant another chance … " Yun Xiu cried as he lay on the ground and tugged on the corner of Ma Gu's skirt.

If she lost her position as the Main Head of the Palace's maidservant, how would she be able to establish her own prestige, and how would she be able to replace her in the future and serve the Prince?

"Scram!" Ma Gu's face was filled with hostility, she kicked away Yun Xiu who was tugging at the corner of her clothes, then turned and walked down the stairs and out of the hall.

Yun Xiu crawled up from the ground and immediately retracted her humble face. She caressed the tears that flowed from the corner of her eyes, shook her sleeves and stood up, watching Ma Gu walk out of the door.

She raised a malicious expression. She must clearly remember this debt. That damnable woman actually caused her to lose her job.

"Luo Shang, I won't let you off —"
