I'm afraid they'll have their entire family executed...

Am I really that cruel?

If Yin Yi knew what Shen Yingying was thinking, he would say: "Your Highness, did you see how easily you slaughtered that black-clad assassin?"

Shen Yingying, on the other hand, would say if she knew what her subordinates were thinking: "The people I slaughtered were all bad people."

Ying'er was unaware of Shen Yingying's personality. When she heard that kneeling would result in the execution of nine generations of her family, she was so frightened that she quickly and respectfully bowed to the couple with small, obedient glances.

"This humble woman, Xu Ying, greets Your Highness and Your Highness's Consort!"

Long live the Prince! Long live the Princess!

"stop……"

Shen Yingying found the flattering words in this situation grating.

What she was thinking was, "I'm not some damn turtle, why would I live a thousand years..."

Couldn't people in ancient times have greeted each other in a more normal way?

Can't they just say "Hello!" or the modern phrase "Have you eaten?"? Even if you guys aren't tired of hearing that, it's still sickening to hear.

If this were to happen in the northern desert, I would definitely give these people a good brainwashing.

What the hell...

A thousand years, a thousand years? Are you trying to send me to my coffin?! ...

Xu Ying was terrified when she was told to stop.

The little girl hadn't seen much of the world, and she was so frightened that her body trembled.

At this moment, she was thinking, "Is the princess trying to punish me on behalf of her subordinates?"

Otherwise, why won't you let me kneel and pay my respects?

Xu Ying was so frightened she almost knelt down, but she knew she couldn't.

One kneel and your entire family is doomed...

The little girl was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This little guy is incredibly wronged.

Shen Yingying was a little annoyed by the greeting, and just as she came to her senses, she saw the little girl looking scared and wronged.

The old man belatedly realized: Uh... I think I scared the little girl.

"Um... I don't need to live to be a thousand years old. I'm not a turtle that can't live that long."

puff……

Knowing his princess's personality, Yin Yi didn't believe she would kill someone's entire family for no reason.

He also knew that the princess was just trying to scare these people because she found it troublesome.

However, he simply couldn't help but say that about the princess.

"princess!……"

Ouyang Yuqing thought his wife's words, intended to avoid trouble, were truly astonishing...

What is all this about? Isn't this how we've always greeted each other since ancient times?

Ai……

Since my wife doesn't want to listen, then I won't let these people have any more high spirits in the future.

"千岁千千岁" seems to have a somewhat offensive connotation...

While it suggests that good health leads to a long life, who in this world can live for a thousand years...?

Ouyang Yuqing glanced at Xu Ying out of the corner of her eye. "Alright, you may leave!"

Shen Yingying had really frightened the young girl. When she heard Ouyang Yuqing come to her rescue, she awkwardly scratched her forehead and didn't say anything more.

The old man thought to himself, "Although I don't care about these formalities, I still have to show respect to my superiors and subordinates."

Otherwise, how will you manage your subordinates in the future?

When Xu Ying heard the prince call for her to step back, the little maid lowered her head and retreated.

As she retreated, she glanced up slightly at her father.

Shen Yingying watched as the little girl retreated, still concerned for her father's safety despite her fear. She thought to herself: "Hmm, she's a filial daughter..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, so Shen Yingying changed the subject to Yin Yi, asking, "Yin Yi, how's the matter going?"

When asked, Yin Yi raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Shen Yingying, saying, "Your Highness, I have completed the task you entrusted to me."

All that's missing is your order to bring a large quantity of grain into the city.

Before entering the magistrate's study, Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing secretly gave a batch of grain to Yin Yi under the cover of a horse-drawn carriage.

She instructed Yin Yi to use a horse-drawn cart outside the city to bring the grain into the city, so that the disaster victims could have enough to eat.
