The ones who were stunned only regained their senses at this point, and looked towards her to see that someone was blocking her path. All of them sucked in a breath of cold air, and then they heard Xi Mengyao say coldly: "What are all of you stunned for, could it be that I want to invite you all over?"

"…" The maidservants hurried to the side.

Xi Mengyao did not move aside and looked at the butler instead: "Did I get you all to come over just to watch the show? "Seems like the steward's ability is lacking."

These words were clearly directed at the butler. Old Housekeeper's face had already turned completely black, but he did not move.

The servants were suddenly told what to do, but in the end, they didn't dare to do anything.

After thinking for a while, they all stopped talking and followed to do their own work.

On the other hand, Xi Mengyao slowly walked a few steps by herself, intending to return just like that. The Old Housekeeper tilted his head at this time. At this moment, he seemed to have realized something and actually turned around to chase up to Xi Mengyao.

"What do you mean?" Xi Mengyao looked at Old Housekeeper who suddenly walked in front of her and frowned.

After thinking for a while, the steward reluctantly opened his mouth and said, "At the end of the day, you are still half a master in this house. If you have anything to say to this servant, it's fine.

"Oh?" Seeing that, Xi Mengyao sneered, looking around too.

She purposefully turned around, but the housekeeper didn't stop her, causing her to feel even more puzzled.

At this time, the steward coughed and said, "I also recognize you as my master, why do you have to make things difficult for me like this?"

Hearing his words, Xi Mengyao only sneered, turned her gaze to look at him. Her eyes flashed with a cold glint, and then, she coldly spoke: "How come I don't know, so it turns out that you really recognize me?"

"Princess is joking. Since you're the prince's son, how could this servant not recognize you?"

When Xi Mengyao heard this, she did not react to it. She only smiled, then turned her head and walked behind him.

Seeing her like that, the butler immediately turned his head and followed Xi Mengyao's footsteps.

But Xi Mengyao stopped by his side and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Her tone was very gentle, but it carried an inexplicable sense of threat. "You'd better not play any tricks in front of me. I have a pair of snake eyes."

"Esteemed wangfei, you … If you have any displeasure in your heart, it's better to say it out loud. " Old Housekeeper coughed and replied calmly.

"It's better to say it out loud." Xi Mengyao slowly repeated her words, her tone extremely thought-provoking.

After saying that, he shook his head and looked at him: "However, those words are not for you to say to me."

After saying that, Xi Mengyao released him.

"Princess!" The steward was confused as he saw this. He asked, "What do you mean?"

He only thought that there were absolutely no flaws … However, Xi Mengyao's probing words, in the end, made him a little uneasy in his heart.

When he looked at Xi Mengyao, his eyes had already uncontrollably flashed with a trace of surprise and withdrawal.

Xi Mengyao only raised his eyebrows and laughed: "I just want to tell you, human, that if you want to do something behind your back, you better be careful, and do it more naturally. "It's not that easy. Someone noticed it."

Xi Mengyao had already walked up to him at this time: "You are an old horse, it's not appropriate to pretend to be stupid."

There was actually no need for this Old Housekeeper to come over. He definitely did not want her to see anything, but he had succeeded, and she did not sense anything amiss in his surroundings.

However, the butler's reaction was enough for her to deduce what happened.

Even actors with high acting skills can't control their heartbeats and body temperature.

With just two sentences, his body temperature had clearly risen.

In other words, he wasn't good at lying.

Then why did she suddenly make such a decision at this time? She thought for a moment, then said, 'I'm going to sleep' and immediately turned around and left.

This person was already a little flustered, but she had hinted at too many things before. She was afraid that she would only be able to get away when she was alone in the future.

The butler did not follow her. When she turned the corner, she looked back and saw that his face was somewhat pale, but he still had an expression of admitting his wrongs.

Xi Mengyao did not bother with him, and went back.

When he returned to the inner courtyard, he saw that there was actually a group of people standing there. They seemed to be stewards of the house. From the looks of it, they seemed to be discussing something.

Xi Mengyao thought about it, coughed once, and walked over.

"Cough cough," she lightly coughed, then looked at the group of people as she thoughtfully said, "Recently, there have been quite a few outsiders in the manor. I don't know if you, the stewards, know it, but I don't see any of you taking care of it.

"Princess." When these people saw this, they immediately turned around.

As expected, they were the stewards of each courtyard. There were a total of ten of them.

Liu De who stood at the front, was beside Old Housekeeper, and could be considered his disciple.

When they saw Xi Mengyao, they were indeed the first to come out. Looking at Xi Mengyao, they said, "Regarding this matter, Prince and the servants had said before that this was the sin of the servants and it has already been strictly guarded."

"Is that so? Someone had to look after him properly, and he wasn't looking after him properly just now. Do you think this matter will end like this? " Xi Mengyao raised her eyebrows.

"Otherwise …" What does the wangfei think we should do? " Seeing this, that person asked you one more time.

The group of people looked at each other, feeling that Xi Mengyao's words were unfathomably profound, as if she was hinting at something.

But the few people in front of them could not understand, so Xi Mengyao did not say anything, all they could do was to frown, and look at Xi Mengyao: "Princess, if you have anything to say, please speak frankly."

These people appeared quite magnanimous, and it seemed like they were not in the same group.

Xi Mengyao thought, and ignored him. She only sighed: "I wanted to tell you all to work seriously, but today it seems that this isn't all your fault after all."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the front yard, "I only wish for you, and for you... I still remember where I woke up. Don't mess up your identity.

"Princess, what do you want to say?" Hearing her words, those stewards really couldn't sit still anymore.

Xi Mengyao only gave them a deep glance before she shook his head and stopped speaking.

The rest of them did not spare her and only stopped her. "To be honest, wangfei, we find it strange too. It seems like there's someone watching us from our sides."

As he spoke, he looked back at the people around him, and after seeing them nod their heads, he lowered his voice and explained.

It turned out that recently, they always felt like they were being watched by others. But now, the palace had already been cleansed once, so how could there be outsiders?

The few of them did not know what to do. They wanted to look for Old Housekeeper, but Old Housekeeper had suddenly appeared and disappeared.

"He's always been very kind, but his temper has been very bad lately." As they spoke, their eyes were filled with confusion.

"Besides, his room is no longer accessible."

After hearing this, Xi Mengyao immediately started to count in her heart.
