"How dare you!" The City Lord's wife reacted and angrily scolded the maid, "This is the City Lord's Mansion. How dare you bring anyone into the master's yard?"
Maid:?
Bold?
I think you are brave, madam!
"Madam, this is Her Royal Highness the Little Princess."
The City Lord's wife's expression froze. She looked at Yuchi Xi in disbelief and quickly knelt down to pay her respects. "Your Highness, your humble servant is shortsighted. I beg for your forgiveness, little princess!"
Yuchi Xi blinked his eyes and said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal."
She just watched a good show for free, this is nothing!
Forgive, forgive, you must forgive!
Seeing the City Lord's wife kneeling, the concubines beside them quickly got up and knelt, "Your Highness, the Little Princess, may you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."
Yuchi Xi smiled and said, "Everyone, please stand up."
"Both of you ladies, please go back and change your clothes first."
The two concubines then noticed that their clothes were a little disheveled. Seeing Jing Huaian here, they screamed, covered their faces and ran away in a hurry.
Yuchi Xi leaned over to Jing Huaian's ear and whispered, "Brother Jing, they are all scared by you."
Jing Huaian: ...
"I didn't let them fight. This is the former city lord's fault."
The city lord's wife keenly grasped the key word: former city lord.
What does "former city lord" mean? Could it be that something happened to the master?
The City Lord's wife's heart trembled slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, Little Princess, may I ask where my master is now?"
"Why didn't I come back with you?"
Yuchi Xi smiled softly. Seeing her smile, the city lord's wife breathed a sigh of relief. The master should be fine. If something was wrong, the little princess would not smile so happily.
"City Lord, he's been arrested by the prefect!"
"He is corrupt and must be severely punished!"
When the city lord's wife heard this, it was as if a bomb had been dropped in her mind, making her ears buzz. Her body swayed and she fell limply to the side. Fortunately, the maid behind her was quick-witted and supported her.
"lady!"
The City Lord's wife's face turned pale. "My dear little princess, I wonder what crime my master has committed?"
The master was discovered to be corrupt?
No, it won't.
The master did it so secretly, how could he be discovered?
She doesn't believe it!
I can’t believe it!
If the master is investigated and falls, then what should they do?
Can this extravagant life... still be maintained?
"Corruption, didn't I just tell you that? Are you so scared that your ears don't work anymore?"
Yuchi Xi narrowed his eyes, "Or do you know about this?"
The City Lord's wife shuddered and quickly rested her forehead on the ground, "Your Highness, the little princess, please understand!"
"I know nothing about this matter!"
"Master is such an honest and upright person, how could he do such a thing...how could he do such a thing?"
"Can I go see the master?"
Yuchi Xi refused outright, "No."
"As for whether you know about this matter, you will know after the prefect interrogates him."
The city lord's wife felt a pang in her heart and felt something was wrong.
The master will definitely tell her.
Yuchi Xi stared at her head, "Why don't you look up?"
"Am I that scary? Stand up!"
The City Lord's wife quickly raised her head and, with the help of her maid, tremblingly stood up. "I didn't mean that. Thank you, Your Highness the Little Princess."
"I wonder what brings you here, little princess?"
"From today on, this City Lord's Mansion belongs to me."
Yuchi Xi touched his chin with his chubby little hand, "You have seven days to move out, otherwise I will have your things thrown out."
The City Lord's wife looked at her in disbelief, "Little Princess, even if the master really did embezzle money, it has nothing to do with us!"
"How innocent are we?"
"Innocent?" Yuchi Xi looked her up and down. "Nothing you're wearing is cheap, and neither are those two concubines. Besides, there are many valuable trees and flowers in this yard."
"Why, when you were enjoying yourself, you closed your eyes and enjoyed it, but now you're saying you're innocent?"
"You really don't know about this? Then why are you wearing these things?!"
"When he gave it to you, didn't you ever doubt it?"
"He's just a city lord, where does he get so much money?"
According to the normal salary, it is impossible to afford it. It is impossible that I would not eat or drink for a whole year just to buy her a hairpin, right?
Judging from what happened just now, the master didn't seem to love her very much.
The city lord’s wife was speechless.
How could I not know?
In the City Lord's Mansion, she and the concubines knew everything, and they acquiesced to it. After all, this allowed them to live a luxurious life.
Who can resist a good life?
But, when asked to take responsibility, she was reluctant to do so.
Yuchi Xi knew it from her expression, "Go pack your luggage. It's best not to take anything that doesn't belong to you."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
As she spoke, she curved her lips and smiled, looking very cute.
However, in the eyes of the city lord's wife, her current appearance seemed particularly terrifying, like an evil ghost coming to take her life.
Yuchi Xi didn't care what she thought. She twisted her body and ran down, heading inside. When the City Lord's wife saw her move, her heart skipped a beat, "Wait!"
She wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Yuchi Xi had already opened the door and walked in.
