In the solemn and dignified hall, the golden light was resplendent, the servants were still kneeling on the stairs and in the middle of the hall, Prince Jin had yet to speak, 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 is the case, then we shall report this matter to the imperial court in accordance to the rules of the Prince Jin Residence. "

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 frightening coldness in his voice, "Being disrespectful to the ancestor of the Leng Clan is equivalent to being disrespectful to the late emperor. This king will let your Luo Family spend the rest of your life in prison just because of this crime."

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

When the late emperor was still alive and a prince, he had placed great importance on filial piety. On top of the original foundation of the Royal Tomb, he had also set up his own unique ancestral hall to worship the ancestral tablets as a token of his love and respect. After that, the late emperor ascended the throne, left the Prince Jin Palace and moved to the imperial city. Ever since Leng Shaoyu was conferred the title of Duke by the Prince 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 Prince 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 all because she was Luo Family's daughter. He even wanted her to let her family off the hook according to the rules. 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 thought about what he said carefully. 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 her Luo Family to the tiger's mouth, wouldn't that mean …

She quickly turned around and said to the man, "The Prince 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 Prince 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 kneeling servants, she paused for a moment, then pursed her lips and said to the man: "Three days, please give me three days, in three days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

The kneeling maidservants began 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 Estate, Lo 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.

"Nanny Ma, stay behind. Everyone else can leave." Leng Shaoyu raised his head with his hands behind his back.

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, Nanny Ma 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 servants. 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.

Nanny Ma was startled, her face immediately turned pale white. So it turns out that even the Duke knew that her servants were behind this, it was no wonder, with his brain, that it was not strange for him to know the real cause. However, the Ancestral Scripture was a huge matter. The Prince did not blame her, nor did he punish Yun Xiu and the others.

Nanny Ma frantically knelt down, overlapping her hands in front of him as she kowtowed. "Your servant's work is not good, but I didn't know that your servant would be so stupid as to do such a stupid thing. I hope that Your Highness can punish me."

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.

Nanny Ma 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 Nanny Ma 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 Nanny Ma'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: Nanny Ma 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?

"This servant does not dare, this servant does not dare." "Your servant did all of this to help aunt clean up the obstacles. Your servant is devoted to your aunt, loyal and devoted. Your aunt is enlightened …" 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." Nanny Ma 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 Nanny Ma 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 head of the palace maids from the hands of others, and you can properly reflect on it while staying in the position of your servant, lest you cause trouble for me when you go out. " Nanny Ma 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 Nanny Ma would not be able to escape from her clutches.

"Auntie, Auntie, you don't need me anymore?" Aunt, give me another chance, give this servant another chance … " Yun Xiu cried as she lay on the ground and tugged on the corner of Nanny Ma's skirt.

If she lost her position as the head of the palace's maidservants, then how could she establish her own prestige? In the future, how could she replace her and serve the prince?

"Scram!" Nanny Ma'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 Nanny Ma 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 —"
