Furthermore, it was enough for her to stay by his side and watch over him. She did not hope to marry him, and become his King Lu Consort, or even think about becoming the King Lu's secondary Consort.
Since he didn't hold any hope, he naturally wouldn't be disappointed later on.
Therefore, Liu Tian Xin was not against this arrangement, and only accepted it silently.
The servants who entered the mansion with her lived in the same courtyard as her. Usually, because of her taciturn attitude and ugly appearance, she would bully her quite a bit and take advantage of her.
When Liu Tian Xin came out of her room, she just happened to hear two brute force girls chatting in her courtyard.
"I really don't know what His Highness is thinking. I wonder how he would find such an ugly and dumb body for a personal attendant. His eyes are truly unique."
The maid facing her saw that she had come out, and did not hide the ridicule on her face at all. She said to the servant who had started to mock Yan Jue: "You can't say that, our Prince is kind, and seeing her as dumb and ugly, I naturally have some sympathy towards him. If I knew earlier that this would give me the chance to serve Your Highness closely, I would have made myself ugly and dumb."
On one hand, they were speaking the truth. On the other hand, she did not want this matter to get out of control, so she did not want Yan Jue to know about it later on.
She just wanted to be by his side.
Thinking this way, she ignored their harsh words and prepared to leave. However, she heard a berating voice coming from the courtyard entrance, "How dare you!"
Liu Tian Xin's footsteps paused, she looked towards the entrance of the courtyard and saw Mother Liu and the butler walking in together, they looked at the two servants with stern expressions.
Receiving the gaze of the butler and Mother Liu, the two maidservants' faces turned pale in fright. Before they could say anything, the two of them had already given up and knelt down.
"How dare you. Your highness is someone with status like yours. If you find the Wang Mansion's work to be insufficient for you to pass your time, then hurry up and leave.
Mother Liu normally looked kind and amiable, but she was after all, an old man who had worked in the Duke's Palace for more than ten years. When she released her aura, she still had some presence, scaring the two maidservants into repeatedly kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.
"This servant knows her wrongs."
Mother Liu had never been good at making things difficult for the servants. She looked at Steward Zhao and said, "Steward Zhao, what do you think …"
Chief Zhao's gaze turned towards Liu Tian Xin. Although he did not know that this mute sister in front of him was Princess Tian Xin, he knew that the fact that this girl was chosen by the Prince took all of Princess Tian Xin's glory.
Right now, these two people were trying to poke a hole in his heart. This wasn't something that he, a steward of a mansion, could handle.
This was not a big thing, it was just some gossip from a servant, but mute sister was selected by the King, they were jealous, talked about, looked down on, and had many people going up and down.
This matter had to be handled properly. Only those restless servants would have a good memory and know what was the duty of a servant.
When he saw the two maidservants' pale faces, he didn't have the slightest bit of sympathy in his heart. When they said those harsh words just now, he didn't see any fear in them at all.
Amongst these servants, other than mute sister, who brought them to the palace out of sympathy, the rest of them had all signed a death contract.
The prince wanted to sell them to the human teeth, so they had nowhere to say.
The servants who had been kicked out of the manor knew that no one in the other high officials' residences would be willing to take them.
"This matter, I will report it to the prince truthfully. As for how to deal with it, let the prince decide."
Those two people were definitely going to report this matter to the Prince. They trembled in fear, continuously kowtowing and begging for mercy. Blood dripped from their foreheads.
Liu Tian Xin only watched coldly. She was not a merciful person, she did not cause trouble, and did not want to cause trouble for him. However, this did not mean that she would kindly plead for the two people behind her back.
"Please spare my life, please spare my life!"
"You don't have to ask me. When the prince comes back, I think it's better to go beg the prince. Whether the prince is willing to forgive you depends on your own good fortune."
With that, the butler looked at Mother Liu and said: "I'll leave this place to you. The prince has yet to return to his mansion, how should we handle this matter first?"
"Yes."
Although Mother Liu was kind, she couldn't bear to see the two young girls being dealt with by the Duke just like that. The two girls weren't good people in the first place, they could be jealous of such a small thing and specifically poke people in the heart.
Those words even made her feel a chill in her heart, let alone the mute sister.
He could already speak so maliciously at such a young age. If he waited in the prince's mansion for too long and married the matriarch of the prince's mansion in the future, who knows what kind of trouble the two of them would create in the palace?
However, before they could be dismissed, they still had to see how the Prince dealt with them.
Since he wanted the mute sister to serve him with all his might, at the very least, the Prince had to support the mute sister in his residence. There was no way to establish his might, at the very least, he had to let everyone know that the mute sister was under his protection.
"You guys go ahead and do your work first, wait for the prince to come back before you speak."
The two maidservants' faces were ashen as they lay limply on the ground, not moving at all.
Liu Tian Xin stood in the courtyard and did not leave, because she was only there to serve him closely when Yan Jue called her, so she did not need to do anything else. Now that Yan Jue was not in the Duke Palaces, she naturally had nothing to do and with Yan Jue's words, no one dared to make her do anything.
When the two maids saw that Liu Tian Xin was still standing in the courtyard like he was just watching them make a joke, their hearts trembled. Their eyes revealed a look of viciousness and hatred, as if she was the one to bring them here.
Liu Tian Xin's face that was covered by the veil revealed a look of ridicule.
Humans were always like this. If they couldn't deal with people much stronger than them, they liked to think of people weaker than them as false enemies to vent their anger, even if this person had never provoked them from the start.
After working busily for close to ten days, the question of where to go in the spring was basically decided. After Yan Jue finished reporting the final result to the Kaiser, he became a little impatient to return to the Duke Palaces.
His face finally lost the depressed expression of a few days ago and became as cheerful as before.
