Xue Jinrong thought for a moment and said, "You have done a favor to Princess Mu Hui. I can ask my father to take a letter to her, and she should be able to take you into the palace. However, why don't you go directly to Prince Su for this matter?"

Su Bei secretly curled his lips, "Looking for him? He would rather I never enter the palace in my life!"

She thought Xue Jinrong wanted to share the same hatred with her, but she didn't expect Xue Jinrong to smile knowingly and said, "Then I think you have to think carefully about whether to propose this condition or not."

"I've thought it over! I want to be a commoner, open a shop, and find a husband who belongs to me alone!" Su Bei said gritting her teeth.

Xue Jinrong was relieved, "Indeed, it is not easy to be someone's concubine, especially to a mistress like Mo Qingying. Okay! You write a letter and I'll ask my father to give it to Princess Mu Hui."

During this period, Su Bei had been practicing calligraphy, and her handwriting had improved a lot. She left a letter for Xue Jinrong and went back to the palace.

As soon as I returned, I heard a servant bring a message saying that A'xi had committed suicide.

"What?!" Su Bei suddenly stood up.

"It was said that he hanged himself, but was rescued." said the person who came to report the news.

Su Bei rushed out without saying a word.

As I recall, Asi was not good at talking, was dull and a little timid. She always worked hard, but she was the first person in the world to give Su Bei warmth.

The embroidered shoes that Asi was reluctant to wear were given to Su Bei.

Su Bei didn't know how to sew clothes, so Asi helped her after finishing her work every day.

Su Bei was very upset. If she had known that Ah Xi would be bullied, she should have found a way to get her out of here.

Arriving at the entrance of the Peony Pavilion, Su Bei said to the guard at the gate: "Let me go in and take a look!"

The two guards looked at each other in bewilderment. "Miss Abei, the prince has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave..."

She knew the rule, but she had to go in and see A Xi, and if possible, she wanted to take A Xi away.

"That's what the prince ordered." Su Bei said in a deep voice, "But the prince didn't say to let the people inside fend for themselves. Ah Xi committed suicide. I have to go in and take a look."

"She...she was rescued...she should be fine..."

Su Bei raised his chin and looked at the two of them with a stern look, "The prince is not here, and the princess is seriously ill. In this mansion, only Butler Zhong and I have the final say. You can go ask Butler Zhong to see what he says!"

This question is a bit difficult. Usually, the first person in the palace is the prince, the second is the princess, and then the concubine's wife. The housekeeper also has to obey their orders.

But there is no concubine in the Su Palace. Although Miss Abei is nominally a maid, she enjoys the treatment of the master, which means...

Even Butler Zhong has to listen to her.

The two soldiers did not dare to make a decision on their own, so they ran to invite Zhong Mao.

As soon as Zhong Mao arrived, he said, "Miss Abei, this is not in accordance with the rules set by the prince..."

"Rules?" Su Bei interrupted him coldly, "Is it in accordance with the rules for a maid like me to live in Fengyao Pavilion? Is it in accordance with the rules that I eat and live better than the princess? I don't have to serve the master, but there are people serving me. Is it in accordance with the rules?"

Zhong Mao was speechless for a long while before he said, "The prince makes the rules."

"Then what do you think, Butler Zhong, does the prince want me to listen to you, or does he want you to listen to me?" Su Bei looked at him coldly. Even though she was dressed very simply, her noble aura could not be concealed. She was in no way inferior to Mo Qingying.

This is not the temperament a maid should have.

Zhong Mao was speechless and sullen for a long time. He could only say, "Then go quickly and come back soon."

Su Bei smiled, "Thank you, Butler Zhong."

After saying that, she asked Wen Xia and Bao Qiu to stay outside and took Yun Xi and Yun Rou into the Peony Pavilion.

There were few people in the courtyard to begin with, and without Asi to clean the room, the courtyard looked even more desolate. Su Bei went to the room where Asi lived, but saw only a rope hanging from the beam, but no one in sight.

"Miss, I asked, and Asi is with the princess." Yun Rou came in and said.

"Let's go!" An idea popped up in Su Bei's mind. He always felt that Asi's sudden suicide was a conspiracy.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Aunt Gui standing at the door of the main room, looking at her with cold eyes, "You are here as expected!"

"As you wish!" Su Bei replied coldly.

Aunt Gui turned around and walked inside, saying unhappily, "Humph! Follow me!"

Su Bei walked in, but when he reached the door, Aunt Gui turned around and said sinisterly, "You are the only one who can come in."

"This won't do!" Yun Rou hurried forward.

Su Bei waved his hand, showing a mysterious and confident smile, and then raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, I can handle six wolves, they can't do anything to me!"

She had followed the team leader to negotiate before, so she knew that when she was obviously weaker, she could not fight back. If she was evenly matched, she had to rely on momentum.

Now that her bond is no longer in Mo Qingying's hands, everyone in the mansion thinks she is Chu Younan's lover, and her performance at the palace banquet is enough for her to stand up in front of these people.

Nanny Gui took Su Bei through the hall and came to the bedroom. Once the door opened, the cold room became a little warmer.

She walked in slowly and saw Mo Qingying leaning against the head of the bed in a light red gown, with Feng Cuiliu standing beside her. In the corner on the ground, Asi was huddled and shivering.

Hearing the noise, Asi hurried towards the door. The moment she saw Su Bei, tears welled up in her eyes.

Su Bei lowered his eyes, hiding his anger, and said calmly, "What does the princess want me to do?"

Mo Qingying chuckled and stared at Su Bei's silk robe and the cloak with rabbit fur trim. After a long while, she spoke: "Abei, long time no see. It seems you are doing well."

Su Bei looked at her coldly, his voice was also cold, "Let's talk business."

Mo Qingying slowly stood up and walked towards her, saying sarcastically, "Am I out of touch with the news? There's been a concubine in the mansion these days? How come I don't know?"

As she spoke, she had already walked close to Su Bei, and her voice suddenly became sharp, "How dare you, a dog slave, be so arrogant in front of me!"

The words came with a slap in the face, but the slap did not make any sound. Su Bei directly held her wrist and said no more nonsense to her, "I want to take Ah Xi away!"

Mo Qingying didn't expect Su Bei to resist her. She immediately became angry and shouted, "How dare you fight back?! I think you are getting cocky!"

"Yes, it's hard!" Su Bei raised the corner of his lips slightly, with a bit of provocation, "The princess has been seriously ill recently. I don't know why I showed my face in the palace, and even His Majesty gave me a reward. So I want to take Asi away, the princess should have no objection!"

After saying that, she shook off Mo Qingying's hand and walked towards Asi.

But Mo Qingying shouted, "We can't let her take that person away!"

Before he finished speaking, Hefeng Cuiliu and others had already rushed towards Asi.
