The sound stopped there; Zhan Xiuchen did not continue speaking.

He changed his words: "Get some rest. Nothing dangerous like tonight will happen again, so you can rest assured."

"You're the one who's at ease, not me," Shi Nian said, hitting the nail on the head. "Because they want to kill me, not you."

Zhan Xiuchen: "......."

This time he genuinely smiled: "Okay, I'm relieved."

........

Meanwhile, the maid, Lily, was waiting.

When Lili saw the housekeeper coming from afar, she went to greet him.

Her eyes revealed a hint of impatience: "How is the butler? Have you spoken to the President?"

The butler's face immediately turned ashen.

He felt uncomfortable reading it.

But tonight, if it weren't for that maid's few words of instigation, this would never have happened.

He has always been conscientious and dedicated to his work.

The president was also very satisfied with him.

This was the first time the president had spoken to him so sternly.

In the end, it all comes down to this maid!

The butler spoke up: "A lady is a lady! Whether she brings back a snakeskin bag or an old hen, she is still the President's wife!"

"And what are you! You're nothing but a servant from the White Jade Palace! Yet you dare to presume to interfere with the Madam's affairs!"

"If this happens again, pack your things and get out of the Jade Palace immediately!"

Lili: "......."

She was completely dumbfounded!

What's going on?!

The butler was clearly indignant before!

Why are you scolding her now!

Lili was both ashamed and angry, but unfortunately the other party was the housekeeper. After being scolded, she could only lower her head and dare not utter a sound.

........

They arrived the next day.

Today is a sunny day.

The blazing sun bathed the earth.

Zhan Pingting made a special trip to Baiyu Palace.

Tonight is the night of her banquet.

Zhan Xiuchen had promised to keep the appointment.

But Zhan Pingting still had to come over specifically to remind Zhan Xiuchen again.

At the same time, he also took the opportunity to find out about that poor woman's background.

Ever since returning from the Jade Palace that day, Zhan Pingting has had people investigate.

We've now found some clues.

Zhan Xiuchen brought a woman back from the slums.

It was placed in the White Jade Palace like a precious treasure.

Everyone in the White Jade Palace called her Madam.

Several days have passed since then.

That woman is still in the Jade Palace.

This piqued Zhan Pingting's curiosity.

So what exactly is Zhan Xiuchen trying to do?

Playing with women?

There's no need to bring it back to the Jade Palace to play with.

Besides, that woman was incredibly thin.

She must have neither a large chest nor a large butt.

What's so fun about a woman like that?

If you're going to have fun, you should have a woman like Shigure with a great figure, right?

After arriving at the Jade Palace, Zhan Pingting passed through the garden.

"Giggle giggle"

A sound suddenly reached her ears.

Zhan Pingting was taken aback.

She instinctively walked into the garden, only to see two old hens hopping happily around.

Zhan Pingting: "......."

“Miss Zhan.” A respectful voice suddenly rang out.

That's the maid, Lili.

She came specifically to water the plants, but unexpectedly ran into Zhan Pingting.

Zhan Pingting looked at Lili: "What's going on?"

Lili immediately said, "Miss Zhan, this was brought by Madam, and it's being kept in the garden."

As Lili spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhan Pingting.

She tried to discern from Zhan Pingting's eyes what the president's sister thought of that poor, unsophisticated woman.

However, Zhan Pingting's lips twitched slightly.

oh.

It turned out that the woman brought it.

She's the president's brother, and he's being kept in the garden?

This is getting more and more interesting.

She couldn't wait to meet this woman.

Just as Zhan Pingting was about to leave, two old hens, for some unknown reason, flapped their wings and flew towards her.

Zhan Pingting's expression changed, and she swung her hand to strike.

"Giggle!"

Chicken feathers were scattered all over the ground.

The two hens finally flew away.

Zhan Pingting clapped her hands in disgust, then walked away in her high heels.

Lili stood there, her mind filled with complicated thoughts.

So Miss Zhan Pingting is a high-class heiress.

How could she tolerate her brother dating a country woman?

Lili couldn't understand it.

Just then, a golden light flashed in her vision.

Lili subconsciously looked down.

It's a gold chain.

Exquisitely crafted, it looks priceless.

This must be what Miss Zhan Pingting just fell from.

Lili naturally dared not keep it for herself. Just as she was about to chase after him, a white light suddenly flashed in her mind.

Lili's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The next second, Lili quietly stuffed the gold chain into her pocket, a flash of resentment in her eyes!

The housekeeper gave her a severe scolding last night!

In the end, it's all that country bumpkin's fault!

So today, Lili is determined to make that country woman look good!

........

Zhan Xiuchen did not return to the White Jade Palace.

Zhan Pingting naturally wouldn't just wait idly.

She asked the maid where it was.

"Madam is in the study," Aunt Fen told Zhan Pingting.

After arriving at Baiyu Palace, Shi Nian spent almost all her time in the study.

He was so engrossed in his work that he forgot to eat and sleep.

Aunt Fen had never met anyone who loved reading so much.

Zhan Pingting raised her eyebrows slightly.

oh.

Although she has no breasts or butt.

But he still loves learning.

Zhan Pingting drank the warm water that Aunt Fen handed her and was about to go find Shi Nian when her gaze swept over her wrist.

Her fair wrists were empty.

Where's the gold chain?

Zhan Pingting remembered chasing away the hen in the garden before.

So it fell into the garden?

Zhan Pingting was about to go to the garden to look for him when suddenly a figure rushed in.

That's Lily.

"Hello, Miss Zhan." Lili greeted Zhan Pingting, then quickly walked up to Aunt Fen and said hurriedly, "Aunt Fen, Madam is going out, and she's carrying a big snakeskin bag. She's acting all mysterious. I wonder what she's going to do."

After a pause, Lili deliberately raised her voice slightly: "Aunt Fen, this lady wouldn't have taken something from Baiyu Palace, would she? Otherwise, why would she be in such a hurry to leave?"

Aunt Fen's expression changed!

What's wrong with Lili?!

What is that thing they're saying?!

Miss Zhan is still here!

Meanwhile, Zhan Pingting glanced at Lili, then a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

oh!

It seems that her gold chain was found by this maid.

So, a mere servant dares to play palace intrigue with her?

This is interesting!
