Zhu Yu glanced at Li Feng indifferently. He would naturally steal the silver, but not Li Feng; she was too timid to do it.
So he'll go by himself!
After all, he knew better than anyone how the guards of the Prince's Palace were scheduled, when they would change shifts, and when the guards were most lax.
With this thought, Zhu Yu immediately felt refreshed.
Just wait, in a few more days he will be able to switch back to his own body.
Zhu Yu slightly curled his lips.
I thought to myself, now that my score has dropped by another 20 points, I should only have 847 points left.
Unexpectedly, this trip yielded such a pleasant surprise.
Zhu Yu smiled and looked down at the cheap jade bracelet on his hand.
Upon seeing this, I was so shocked I almost fainted.
What deduction? What 847 points!
fart!
It turns out that the intense heat that had been rising and falling earlier wasn't a downside, but rather a bonus!
A line of words appeared on the broken jade bracelet: "Bribery, penalty of fifty points!"
And the data on it had suddenly changed to 917 points!
Zhu Yu's vision was filled with stars, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.
He could barely stand.
If Li Feng hadn't been worried about his injuries and kept supporting him, he would have fallen flat on his face.
His points!
His pearl earrings!
Another road has been blocked!
Li Feng caught him and, seeing that his face was almost transparently pale, asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Zhu Yu looked at Li Feng with resentment. Why can't this little girl read? Why doesn't she know how to compliment people?
Li Feng felt her face tighten under the stare and touched her face: "Miss, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?"
Zhu Yu was on the verge of tears. He took a deep breath, and then another.
Time is running out. If we don't go now, my mother will find fault with me and give me another scolding. I'm afraid I won't have a good day.
That would surely burst the bracelet from the strain.
Zhu Yu closed his eyes helplessly and swallowed the metallic taste in his throat: "It's nothing, let's go."
Seeing Zhu Yu like this, Li Feng wanted to say something, but swallowed it back and helped him walk towards Yunmei Garden.
He had only taken two steps when he heard a sharp shout.
"What are you doing!" Butler Yuan Xiu was extremely displeased when he saw two maids slacking off early in the morning instead of doing their work, talking to that woman and looking very happy. He strode over with a cold face.
The two maids, who had only taken two steps, immediately hid what they were carrying behind their backs and said tremblingly, "No, it's nothing."
"Give it to me!" Yuan Xiu said coldly, stretching out his hand to them.
The two maids looked at each other, then took a step back in fear, clutching their belongings tightly.
Yuan Xiu's deeply lined face was extremely gloomy. He stepped forward again and said in a cold voice, "Give it to me!"
The maidservant pursed her lips tightly, not daring to speak.
Yuan Xiu immediately launched a flying kick, landing a direct kick to the knees of both of them.
The two maids cried out in pain and fell to the ground, dropping the things they were holding.
Yuan Xiu bent down to pick it up and shouted, "Where did this come from? Did you steal it? Speak!"
"No, no, we didn't steal anything." The two maids looked at the things in Yuan Xiu's hands with teary eyes.
"If you didn't steal them, where did they come from! Hmph, these pearl earrings may be small, but their quality is exceptional. Where did you get the money to buy such fine items! Tell me, where did they come from? If you don't, don't blame this steward for teaching your royal palace rules a lesson!"
Zhu Yu stopped and coldly watched Yuan Xiu's arrogant display: "Steward Yuan, what a big shot you are! These were bestowed upon them by me, the Princess Consort. What, you even want to interfere with me giving away my own things!" Zhu Yu stared at Yuan Xiu and said coldly.
Yuan Xiu did see the "Princess Consort," but he disdained to speak to her. This woman was not even as good as a servant in the Prince's mansion.
Even if the prince visited Feixue Garden several times in the past few days, so what? If the prince cared about her, he wouldn't have let her live in such a dilapidated courtyard.
Yuan Xiu was certain that what the prince was doing now was just another way of punishing her.
He scoffed and glanced sideways at Zhu Yu: "Heh, Your Highness, have you forgotten that you've already married the Prince? Now you belong to the Prince, so what is yours? You think this thing is yours just because you say so? What a joke! You try calling it and see if it responds!"
"You! Steward Yuan, how can you speak to my young lady like that? No matter what, she is a princess, our mistress. How can you speak to your mistress like that!" Although Li Feng was terrified, he still straightened his chest and stepped forward to argue.
"Master? Hahahaha, Li Feng, she is your master, not mine, Yuan Xiu's master! In this palace, only the Prince and Consort Duan are masters. She doesn't deserve it! Bah!"
After saying that, he slammed the earring to the ground and then stomped on it.
Yuan Xiu possessed internal energy, and with one kick, a pair of pearl earrings turned to dust.
Zhu Yu was furious. It was like a tiger entering the plains being bullied by dogs. The lackeys who used to bow and scrape before him now dared to treat him so disrespectfully!
Well done!
Once he has his new body, it will be time to properly reorganize the entire Prince's mansion.
He will never forgive those who look down on others!
"Guards! These two lowly maids dared to steal from the Prince's manor! Drag them away and beat them!" Yuan Xiu shouted.
Several servants rushed over and dragged two crying and begging maids from the ground to the torture bench.
The maids now hated Zhu Yu intensely, their eyes filled with venom as they glared at him. It was all that woman's fault; if it weren't for her, they wouldn't have been subjected to caning so early in the morning.
That was a good beating; he probably won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a month.
In the Prince's mansion, if you don't work, you won't get food or money.
If they don't have a caring person to look after them, they might even lose their lives.
"Who gave you the right to hit them? I, the Princess Consort, order you to make them stop!" Zhu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light like a sharp blade in the dead of winter.
Yuan Xiu was, after all, the steward of the Prince's mansion, and he didn't care at all about the anger in a woman's eyes.
He crossed his arms and sneered, "Heh, Lu Xiaoyun, who do you think you are? 'This princess'? Pah! I'm going to beat this person up today, what are you going to do about it!"
He turned to the servants and said, "Give them a good beating! Remember this: this beating you're getting today is all thanks to this woman! From now on, if anyone dares to say another word to this woman, I, the steward, will beat them so badly they won't even recognize their own parents!"
Screams filled the air, and the heat on Zhu Yu's wrist rose higher and higher.
Needless to say, apart from the two maids and Yuan Xiu, all the servants in the courtyard who witnessed this cursed him in their hearts.
Zhu Yu looked down and, sure enough, the score was 967!
He and Li Feng walked over to stop the servant who was carrying out the execution.
However, without the steward's orders, they completely ignored Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu, being such a delicate and frail woman, naturally couldn't be pulled away.
