Suddenly, Shang Xiye's deep, cold voice rang in Xi Ningchang's ear: "Is it funny?"

Xi Ningchang was startled and looked up in a panic: "Your Highness?!"

"You're so happy that someone under the Princess's command has betrayed her?" Shang Xiye didn't deliberately show anger, but Xi Ningchang felt as if ice crystals had formed in her blood.

Good heavens!

Is the prince even human? She's been trying her best to restrain herself!

Xi Ningchang desperately tried to deny it: "Your Highness, this lowly concubine did not..."

"Get out! Don't ever offend my eyes again!" Shang Xiye didn't want to listen to her excuses and directly ordered her to leave, and he did so thoroughly: "Uncle Fu, take her to get 30,000 taels of silver, and give her a plot of land for a mansion and five shops. Also, give her the plots of land for the people around her."

The room was filled with people shouting: "!!!"

Xi Ningchang: "!!!"

The prince's current favoritism towards that bandit has reached an unbelievable level.

That's the Second Madam, the Second Madam who has been in the household for many years!

Although there's no such thing as a one-night stand or a hundred-day bond, she was still someone bestowed upon him by the Emperor.

She merely gloated and chuckled, yet she wanted to kick him out of the mansion immediately!

"Your Highness, I just..." Xi Ningchang wanted to explain a few more words.

Shang Xiye's eyes were cold and sharp as knives as he pierced her: "Or do you think it would be more appropriate for me to have you castrated and thrown out?"

Xi Ningchang bit her lower lip tightly, glanced around the room, and saw no one showing any sign of pleading for her. Her eyes reddened, she stomped her foot angrily, and left!

If she leaves now, she can still gain some benefits:

Sell ​​the house and shops that the Ninth Prince gave her, and then escape far away from the capital. That way, she can still have some hope for the rest of her life.

If she is thrown out, she will be left to live on the streets!

Seeing that Shang Xiye had dismissed Xi Ningshang, clearly intending to clean up the mansion, Qian Yingying felt uneasy. However, she asked jokingly, "Your Highness, if I ever make a mistake, you won't send me away like this, will you? That wouldn't look good."

"Then you should be sensible and tell the Princess what kind of ending you want," Shang Xiye's tone softened a bit, but it was still indifferent.

Qian Yingying raised an eyebrow knowingly; it seemed she had guessed correctly.

The prince indeed intends to empty the palace.

Rather than being kicked out like Xi Ningchang, she'd rather leave on her own.

Qian Yingying gracefully rose and bowed slightly to Ji Fengyao, saying, "Sister, I am grateful that you have not abandoned me and have accepted me as your useless younger sister. You have also taken good care of me in every way. I am not the kind of person who is ungrateful or takes advantage of others."

My sister and the prince are a loving and harmonious couple. I don't want to always be stuck in this ambiguous situation, so I ask my sister and the prince to grant me two favors.

Firstly, we request that the Prince issue a letter of commendation to clear Yingying's name and allow her to leave the manor.

Secondly, given the domineering nature of her stepmother and sisters, Yingying can no longer return to the Qian family. She should also ask the Princess and Prince Wang An to inform them that Yingying wishes to learn business from him.

Ji Fengyao helped her up by the hand, then dismissed all the old women and maids who had come to speak, leaving only her own family members. She said, "The capital is a dangerous place, and you are on good terms with me. It's not safe for you to stay. I plan to take you to Cangzhou. Once we get there, I will give you your freedom. Is that alright?"

"Sister and the Prince are leaving the capital!" Qian Yingying was surprised, then overjoyed and almost knelt down: "Thank you, Sister, for thinking of everything so thoughtfully for Yingying. Yingying has no way to repay you except to serve you like a slave for the rest of her life..."
