"Yes …"

When the maidservants saw this, they knew that she was truly angry.

They did not dare to say anything else. After nodding their heads and whispering to each other, they all left.

Just as she was about to reach the door, Xi Mengyao smiled and said: "Wait a moment."

The maidservants' raised feet were stopped in their tracks as they turned around to look.

Just then, Xi Mengyao stood up and walked towards them, and spoke to the rest: "Although you guys have gone out, the things that the servants should do, cannot be lacking."

As Xi Mengyao said that, she tilted her neck and loosened her tendons. Then, she sat back down on her chair: "You make me uncomfortable, but I will still go out and cause trouble."

With that, she no longer paid any attention to them.

When the maidservants heard this, it was just a matter. They heaved sighs of relief and hurriedly nodded their heads. Then, they quickly left, as if they were afraid that she would go back on her word.

At this time, Song Chongjing finally finished his work.

In the past few days, no one in the mansion knew.

Even though Song Qian did not come again, the matter between him and the princess had once again escalated.

Song Qian hated this wedding to the bones.

He had carefully planned to see someone hiding poison in the other bridal sedan. The poison was extremely corrosive, and later on, when someone looked at it again, they would see that the poison had almost completely corroded the sedan.

The golden silk fabric and some jewelry were also affected by the black colour, and none of them looked as beautiful as before. However, the palanquin had evaporated a thousand taels of gold.

And because the princess was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to delay the matter of him joining Lin Kingdom.

Song Qian would be home everyday, looking at the red silk cloth, he really couldn't use the scissors to cut everything into pieces.

Although this matter was instigated by Xi Mengyao, she did not do it herself. Song Qian was unable to find any evidence for now, so he could only publicize this matter once again in front of the Emperor.

However, this time, the Emperor didn't care.

Even if it sounded like him, the Emperor only hastily said a few comforting words before stopping.

Song Qian's hatred for him deepened, but since the emperor didn't care, he couldn't keep begging. Thus, he could only hold onto Song Chongjing and talk to him secretly.

How could Song Chongjing pay attention to him? He blocked them one by one, and estimated that he was thoroughly angered, and even though this matter was not over, he still continued to cause trouble for him.

Song Chongjing was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to find some of his old friends to advise him.

Coincidentally, after a few people had discussed this matter, he handed it over to the always infiltrating Minister of the Court.

That Lord Shang Shu's actions were indeed fast, it was settled in just two days.

He was in a good mood and wanted to come over to see Xi Mengyao. However, the moment he came over, he saw a bunch of maids walking out of Xi Mengyao's courtyard, all of their faces ashen.

They were whispering, but their words were intermittent, and they seemed to be frightened.

He was a little curious, so he called out to someone, "Hold it right there."

Seeing that it was Song Chongjing, the man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, and said with a trembling voice, "This servant greets the Prince."

Song Chengjin was extremely confused and looked at her in amusement, "Why are you so scared? Could it be that someone said something to you? "

When the servants heard this, they remembered Xi Mengyao's warning, and immediately shook their heads.

How would they dare to complain?

Although they did not serve the Duke, being in the Palace, who wouldn't know that Song Chongjing had been busy with important matters these past few days? How could they dare to pester him with such a small matter?

If he really said it out loud, they would be the ones who would be blamed if they didn't know what was going on.

Therefore, they only said that Xi Mengyao did not need the servant girls and sent them away.

After hearing all of this, Song Chongjing was somewhat suspicious.

He counted the number of maids.

He had personally arranged all of these people. However, on that day, when Xi Mengyao came over, although he restrained herself, she was still somewhat drunk on that day.

She first heard about her ruckus on the long street, then saw Song Qian coming over. He only thought that it was because this girl wanted to stir up some trouble, so he left her alone for a few days.

He didn't expect that she would be so obedient in the past few days. Although there were some strange rumors, it didn't cause any major problems.

He didn't expect that after death, this person would kick all of the maidservants out of the room.

Could it be that he was going to start tormenting again?

"What did she say?" Song Chongjing asked.

Unexpectedly, when the maid heard this, she shook her head and whispered, "Princess, you didn't do anything. It was just that you didn't like the servants serving you, so you told them to leave."

After hearing this, he only felt puzzled, but seeing their expressions, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of them, so he sighed and said, "Then you guys can leave."

The maidservants felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their minds. They kneeled on the ground and kowtowed before quickly leaving.

They did not want to serve this young miss anymore.

The wangfei looked harmless on the outside, but the man looked as if he was on par with the king.

He frowned as he watched the maidservants leave.

As he thought about it, he pushed open the door to Xi Mengyao's courtyard.

This courtyard was located in a remote area and was originally meant to kill her. He had originally thought that for a young miss like her, it was likely that she wasn't used to living here.

Unexpectedly, the moment he entered, he saw Xi Mengyao sitting on the reclining chair with her legs crossed. He had a relaxed look and was actually reading a book on military strategy.

"What, do you still want to come back now?" Xi Mengyao heard the movements behind him, but did not turn back, and only spoke a few words.

Hearing her words, Song Chongjing immediately understood why the maidservants wanted to escape in such a hurry. He could only sigh and shake his head.

Before he could speak, Xi Mengyao also sat up.

She originally wanted to say something, but when she turned her head to look, she saw Song Chongjing standing outside the small courtyard with his hands behind his back.

She was also frowning. After being stunned for a long time, she forced out a smile. She coughed and said awkwardly, "Ah, it's you."

Her expression was very stiff.

However, Song Chongjing was not embarrassed at all, he only smiled, and nodded his head. He then walked into the courtyard, and after walking around once, he stood by her side.

Xi Mengyao had originally already stood up, but seeing him in such a state, she sat down on the spot.

She yawned and shook her head. "You're finally here?"

Xi Mengyao originally thought that she would be forgotten about, but it seems like she was overthinking it.

Song Chongjing did not say anything, he only chuckled, and stood by her side, then turned around and looked behind his: "What are you planning to do now, for you to chase away all the servants?"

Xi Mengyao's eyes were wide open.

"This isn't something I can chase away. It is they who are unwilling to stay here. I will grant their wish. Please don't wrongly accuse me!"
