Everyone in the Princess's residence knew how much the Princess valued the library. Upon hearing that the library was on fire, they had no time to look closely at who was in front of them and rushed to the library to put out the fire.

And so, Su Wanyan ran towards the entrance of the Princess's residence while calling out, until the two guards at the entrance were called away. Su Wanyan then flicked her sleeves and swaggered out of the Princess's residence.

Meanwhile, Mingyu was secretly keeping the guards who were investigating him in check.

They all assumed that the guards from Prince Gong's mansion would take Su Wanyan away quietly, so the people in the Princess's mansion put in a lot of effort.

Unexpectedly, Mingyu was not caught, and Su Wanyan escaped.

As soon as Su Wanyan left the Princess's residence, a carriage arrived promptly at the gate.

The driver was Xiaobu, and sitting next to Xiaobu was Qiuye.

"Your Majesty!" Qiu Ye exclaimed joyfully.

She had already left the Princess's residence when Su Wanyan signaled to her at the door of the side room, and had Xiaobu prepare to meet her.

This was something they had discussed beforehand.

Without hesitation, Su Wanyan quickly jumped into the carriage.

However, Su Wanyan was taken aback as soon as she boarded the carriage. Inside, Yu Nanqing, sitting in a wheelchair, looked away nervously.

"Disobedient!" Su Wanyan immediately put her hands on her hips and uttered these three words.

"..." Yu Nanqing stubbornly pursed his lips: "It's too boring in the manor, so I... just came out for a walk."

Knowing full well that the Princess had ill intentions, she still came to the Princess's residence alone. How could he feel at ease?

She doesn't know martial arts. If she really gets trapped by the princess, where will he go to get her back?

Su Wanyan was a little angry. She had put in so much effort, and he still didn't take care of himself!

But remembering that he was worried about her, she couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh, and angrily repeated, "You're so disobedient!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Yu Nanqing didn't refute, but stubbornly turned his face away.

Seeing this, Su Wanyan sighed slightly: "Oh well, it's not so bad to come out for a walk."

Yu Nanqing's eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of her lips began to turn up.

Su Wanyan stepped forward, took off her two buns, tied one of them into a ponytail, and sat down on the cushion: "It's noon now, have you eaten?"

Yu Nanqing looked at her flowing hair and wanted to reach out, but he held back and replied, "Not yet."

"Then I'll buy some snacks later." She hadn't eaten much at the banquet and was starving after a whole morning of fussing around.

Seeing her disheveled appearance and dressed as a maid, Yu Nanqing felt very uncomfortable.

"Has the Princess made things difficult for you?"

"She wasn't just trying to make things difficult for me, she was trying to eat me alive." Su Wanyan hastily wiped her face with a handkerchief and turned around: "Is it clean now?"

His nonchalant attitude made it seem as if the hardships he endured at the Princess's residence were no big deal.

"..."

Yu Nanqing slowly reached out and took the handkerchief from her hand.

Su Wanyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll do it myself."

"You can't clean it properly."

"Never mind then, I'll wash up again when I get home."

"..." Yu Nanqing ultimately did not get the chance.

He frowned: "It's just wiping it for you."

"I've only ever wiped my dad's... my parents' faces." This gesture is very intimate, and it's not really appropriate even for friends to do it.

Yu Nanqing felt annoyed and muttered, "You've even seen my body."

"..." Those are two different things.

"It's been touched."

"..."

From head to toe.

"Yu Nanqing, that's enough."

"..." Yu Nanqing didn't dare to really hold a grudge against Su Wanyan.

He suddenly asked curiously, "Su Wanyan, do you have a man you like?"

"No."

"Oh." Yu Nanqing felt instantly at ease, and even secretly felt a little pleased.

Su Wanyan suddenly smelled the aroma of steamed buns. She lifted the curtain and saw all kinds of snacks on the street at lunchtime. She quickly called out, "Xiaobu, stop for a moment."

The carriage slowly came to a stop.

She stuck her head out of the car window and called out to the street vendors, "Can I have two steamed buns?"

"Ah? Oh, oh, oh!" The vendor seemed surprised that someone riding in such a luxurious carriage would buy his steamed buns, and immediately busied himself: "Alright, two steamed buns!"

Before she could even reach for it, Qiuye had already run forward and taken the bun back.

Su Wanyan ate one herself and gave one to Yu Nanqing.

"By the way, when I came out, Mingyu was still inside. Are you worried something might have happened?" Su Wanyan asked.

"He's fine."

Seeing that Yu Nanqing answered so confidently, Su Wanyan didn't think too much about it.

"I burned down the princess's library. I don't know what she will do next."

The eldest princess is probably furious this time, and it's unknown whether Su He, who is inside, will be affected.

"Mmm," Yu Nanqing responded softly.

Su Wanyan was hungry. She ate a bun but it wasn't enough, so she lifted the curtain and asked Qiuye to buy whatever she wanted to eat.

Spring rolls, pastries, roasted tofu, and pancakes—before he had even finished what he was eating, he instructed Qiuye to buy more.

Finally, the small table on the carriage was filled to the brim with oily and savory dishes. Su Wanyan ate them, while Yu Nanqing ate a little of the mild and neutral ones.

By the time they returned to the Prince's residence, Su Wanyan had already eaten about 80% of her fill.

Although Yu Nanqing had already eaten, the medicinal cuisine still needed to be prepared, so it was stewed for Yu Nanqing to eat for dinner.

After returning to the main courtyard, Su Wanyan first examined Yu Nanqing's body. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she asked Qiuye and Huangye to boil water, intending to take a bath first.

Qiu Ye is more proactive, while Huang Ye is introverted. Usually, Qiu Ye is the one who speaks first, so Su Wanyan naturally got used to keeping Qiu Ye by her side.

Huang Ye is a bit of a silent type; she does whatever you ask her to do and doesn't talk much.

Normally, Su Wanyan would bathe herself, but today she was a little tired, and the original owner's hair was very long, so Su Wanyan really didn't have the energy and called Qiuye and Huangye in to serve her.

Unexpectedly, this act of serving Su Wanyan opened up a whole new world for her.

Autumn Leaves gently washed her hair clean, bit by bit, and Yellow Leaves would also gently massage her body while watering and wiping her down.

She felt so comfortable that she almost fell asleep in the bathtub.

If she had known it would be this enjoyable, why would she have gone through all that trouble to wash herself?

Add a month's worth of silver!

You absolutely must add monthly silver!

Since the monthly allowance for ordinary maids was two taels, she increased it to three taels, no, four taels.

She's a personal maid, after all; she deserves to be treated well!

After taking a shower, Su Wanyan went to her room and told Yu Nanqing about it. After all, she was using his salary, so she had to inform him first.

"It's up to you to decide." Yu Nanqing leaned gently against the headboard, finally free from lying down all day.

He was reading a copy of "Folk Tales" that Su Wanyan had bought.

"It's fine as long as you have no objections." Su Wanyan smiled, then thought of something and said, "But Qiuye mentioned the monthly silver to Huangye, so shouldn't Master Wang and the others also mention it? Master Wang is the steward, and so are your people; they do important work."
