Xi Mengyao was completely unaware of this, she had only been staring at the people outside, afraid that that person would lure the tiger out of the mountain.

However, she didn't go far before she met two of them by the lotus pond. It was obvious at a glance that they were purposely watching her, waiting for her to pass by.

Xi Mengyao thought about it, then casually walked over.

At the same time, the originally pitiful young maid suddenly became energetic.

After she jumped up, she immediately walked out. However, she didn't walk for long before she squatted beside a small tree in the yard.

She carefully looked at the surroundings and was very satisfied. She dug up the soil and quickly threw in a piece of jade. After covering the soil, she looked around again.

Then she breathed a sigh of relief, and sat beside him as if she had been marked, and dripped a drop of blood.

Only after doing all this did she stand up with satisfaction. She then returned to her harmless appearance and went back to kneeling on the ground.

Xi Mengyao went out and saw a few people by the lotus pond.

As soon as she walked over, that person immediately stood up, bowed to her, and anxiously said, "Princess!" Don't be fooled by that little girl, that is the most deceptive! "

"Exactly! "Princess, you must open your eyes."

However, Xi Mengyao frowned, and looked at them with doubt: "What lie? Who did she lie to? What do you know? It's still better if you think I'll be tricked. If you know about it, just say it directly.

She said this in a mocking tone.

Perhaps when a few people heard this, they all looked at her with a heavy expression.

They looked at each other, but did not loosen their mouths. They only said stubbornly, "No matter what it is, wangfei, you must not believe it. You don't know, that girl lied to a lot of people after she came to the manor! "

"What she knows how to do is to pretend to be pitiful. If you were to let her know anything, you have to be careful." the other man said anxiously.

"This girl's background is unknown. We don't know why she appeared in the manor." Seemingly seeing that Xi Mengyao did not believe it, they hurriedly continued.

They spoke with urgency in their voices. It seemed like they were sincere.

This made Xi Mengyao even more confused, she thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "You all aren't here to serve me, why are you all being so kind?"

After thinking for a while, one of them stood out and bowed to Xi Mengyao, "Since the wangfei is the only concubine of our Prince Jing, and the prince has already instructed us to serve you well, then we will inevitably pay more attention to you."

As Xi Mengyao listened, she felt that this girl could really say it.

He looked her up and down before asking, "Who are you?"

When the little girl heard this, her face changed, and she stammered: "This servant's name is Yu Han."

"Yu Han?"

This name did sound like it came from some background, causing Xi Mengyao to ask the maid beside him for the name. They did not have any defenses, so they gave their names one by one.

Only now did Xi Mengyao realize that all the jade-like names, who knew who had given them these names, were probably people who worked together.

"Esteemed wangfei, you …" The maidservants also wanted to remind him.

"I understand, I will be careful." Xi Mengyao nodded her head, but suddenly thought of a question: "Where are you guys working? If I were to seek refuge here, I would go and thank you."

In the end, Yu Han still stood up and said, "We servants are the maids who serve in the kitchen of our residence. If there is anything that the wangfei requires, you can just tell the butler to find us."

As they spoke, they looked at each other and then suddenly looked in a direction. They were startled and panic-stricken. They found an excuse to run away.

And at this time, some people had already come over to call for their meal. Seeing Xi Mengyao outside, they couldn't help but come over to greet him.

Xi Mengyao turned her head to look at her strangely. Then, when she turned back to look, the few maidservants from before were no longer there.

She frowned and carefully observed the direction they left in, but she was still puzzled.

Logically speaking, a kitchen girl shouldn't have such good clothes like them.

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't say anything. When she returned, she saw that the young maid was still kneeling on the ground. She had a delicate and touching expression on her face. From the looks of it, she hadn't moved at all.

She raised her hand, sighed, and said, "Forget it, I have nothing else to do. You can leave first, and tell those people who called you that I am not someone to be trifled with. What plans do they have for me?"

That little girl nodded in panic and pointed it out.

At this time, the nearby waiter saw her and puzzledly turned his head to look at her.

Xi Mengyao noticed her gaze and asked suspiciously, "What are you looking at?"

The servant looked at Xi Mengyao, but did not dare say anything.

"Just say it."

Hearing this, the servant girl lowered her head and said hesitatingly, "This servant only felt that it was strange. It seems that this servant has never seen a maid that went out just now."

Hearing that, Xi Mengyao was surprised, she immediately became alert and asked: "Have you thought it through, have you really never seen that servant girl before in the house?"

Song Chongjing had picked them out to order for her, so they shouldn't be new.

And even if it was a newcomer, he should have come into contact with quite a few people since he had been waiting outside for the past few days.

After the servant heard it, she was somewhat puzzled. After looking at Xi Mengyao, she finally nodded her head: "This servant has indeed never seen anything like this before. If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Qing."

Xi Mengyao frowned, and sure enough, someone came over to ask once, Gu Qing had indeed not seen it, but after hearing the description, she shook her head and said that she had not seen anything like it.

With Xi Mengyao's order, she lowered her head and slowly walked around the room. This time, she also noticed that there was some dirt scattered around the edge of her door frame.

It was the soil of the courtyard.

She had clearly been cleaned before …

This made her even more curious.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw that the maidservants by his side were looking at him strangely. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, since it's none of your business, you can leave now."

Hearing this, the maidservants did not dare to say anything else and simply nodded their heads before leaving.

Xi Mengyao turned her head and looked at the delicacies on the table. She was not in the mood to eat.

After a thousand thoughts, when he realized that there was no one left and right, he went back to his room. He took out the mask that he was wearing, climbed over the wall, and sneaked out of the mansion.
