Upon hearing this, the four servants, who were about to slip away, turned around and looked at Lu Qiqi.

Yan Huier and Liao Shuer were, after all, young girls, and Lu Qiqi's extremely imposing voice made them somewhat flustered.

Moreover, Xuan Wenying was standing next to Lu Qiqi. She was the wife of the Marquis's heir, and they dared not offend her easily.

But they couldn't swallow their anger. Yan Huier, with her neck stiff and her words sharp, said, "We were just reminding Baozhu Pavilion. Since it's a misunderstanding, once we talk it out, the misunderstanding will be cleared up."

You don't need to keep chasing after me!

The two of them are so eloquent and persuasive that it's clear they don't want to apologize.

Xuan Wenying saw through their little scheme and deliberately exposed Lu Qiqi's identity, saying, "Princess Kang Le is right, you should indeed apologize for your words and actions!"

The two quickly glanced at Xuan Wenying, then lowered their heads with evasive eyes.

Previously, they could pretend that they did not know Lu Qiqi's identity as a county princess.

Now that Xuan Wenying has exposed it in public, they are in a difficult position.

After hesitating for a moment, the two of them lowered their heads and apologized, feeling aggrieved.

"Sister Yi, if you don't die soon, the Emperor will definitely punish you!"

Standing on the top floor, Nineteen looked anxiously at Feng Yi, who was instructing the maids to arrange the jewelry.

Feng Yi was not in a hurry at all. She said, "These pieces of jewelry can resolve all my worries and grievances. When Princess Kang Le sees these beautiful pieces of jewelry, she will certainly not be angry with me."

Besides, the best show always comes last.

"If I had gone downstairs from the beginning, wouldn't the show have been over?"

Nineteen sighed softly, "It seems the young master still hasn't punished you enough!"

You've only been in the capital for a year, and you've already started to imitate Young Master Lin, enjoying playing tricks on people!

Feng Yi said nonchalantly, "If it weren't for my management here, the national treasury would be empty if the Ministry of Revenue were to manage it alone."

How could an army of 70,000 men possibly be fed and able to defend the border against the Tartars?

They're eating tree bark and clay, but they still don't have water to drink!

Speaking of this, Feng Yi was filled with anger. She had been working year-round without a break, and a fine line had appeared at the corner of her eye!

"Then you can stay here. I'll take the county princess back to the Marquis's residence."

Nineteen uttered a single sentence and then quickly ran downstairs.

He made quite a racket as he ran, and the sound of his footsteps echoed from the wooden building.

First floor.

The two spoiled young ladies have already apologized to Lu Qiqi and her sister.

The two women, blushing with embarrassment, were about to leave Baozhu Pavilion when they heard a commotion upstairs and couldn't help but look up curiously.

Lu Qiqi and the others also planned to go up to the second floor, so they met again at the top of the stairs.

Nineteen is a martial arts practitioner; he can run down from the third floor in one breath without even breaking a sweat.

Liao Shuer and Yan Huier saw Shijiu come downstairs. He was dressed in black and stood upright at the top of the stairs.

They sized up Nineteen, noting that his attire didn't resemble that of a noble young master, yet his figure didn't suggest he was an ordinary servant.

Moreover, the fact that she came down from upstairs immediately piqued people's curiosity about her identity.

To their surprise, the moment Nineteen opened her mouth, she made them so angry they almost vomited blood: "Ladies, if you're not going up, could you at least make way for me?"

Upon hearing this, the two men's faces immediately became somewhat distorted.

They wanted to go up, but their monthly allowance made it impossible for them to even dream of the second floor of the Treasure Pearl Pavilion.

Forget about going upstairs, they don't even have the right to reserve a private room!

After finally getting through the crowd, Nineteen ran up to Lu Qiqi, indignant, "Princess, who accused you of theft?"

What are the things in this Treasure Pavilion?

They actually used such an awful word as 'steal'.

Is the person who said that so poor they're begging for food?

Upon hearing this, the two young ladies from the censorate who had made way for the Nineteenth Prince had faces that were as colorful as a rainbow.

The young ladies and ladies who were about to leave stopped to see who dared to be so arrogant after hearing the 19th Party Congress’s outrageous words.

But when they realized that he was Lu Qiqi's subordinate, they simply thought he was young and ignorant.

As soon as Shijiu came down from the third floor, Lu Qiqi guessed that the owner behind Baozhu Pavilion must be Song Yanqing, who had another identity as a businessman.

"You're running so fast, kid? Is someone chasing you?"

The speaker was a beautiful woman, and everyone turned their attention to her.

Some sharp-eyed people quickly recognized the person.

"Isn't this Miss Fengyi, the manager of Baozhu Pavilion?"

It's her!

"It seems that Miss Fengyi overheard what that child said earlier. Is she coming down to take him now?"

"Are you stupid? That child just came down from the third floor, he must know Miss Fengyi!"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, let's wait and see."

Lu Qiqi was somewhat surprised. Her production and sale of charcoal cakes in Luzhou Prefecture was a collaboration with Feng Yi.

Now it's suddenly discovered that Feng Yi is actually working for Song Yanqing.

This made her think that Song Yanqing would know everything she did in Luzhou Prefecture.

Feng Yi smiled and walked gracefully toward Lu Qiqi.

The two were about a meter and a half apart when Feng Yi respectfully bowed to her, saying, "This concubine greets Princess Kangle. I was unaware of your presence, and I hope you will not take offense."

Lu Qiqi instantly understood Feng Yi's meaning and said calmly, "I did not inform you in advance, so this is not your fault."

Get up.

Feng Yi then slowly straightened up, took two steps forward, and said softly, "Princess, I have prepared tea and snacks on the third floor. Please feel free to choose anything from the Baozhu Pavilion. I hope it will meet your expectations."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished.

Some people even asked questions on the spot.

"Just who is this Lady Kang Le? Even Miss Feng Yi from Baozhu Pavilion treats her with utmost respect?"
