Rong Qingqing quickly finished packing.
She didn't have many clothes, but the dowry that Lan left her consisted of several large trunks.
Just as she was worrying about how to move these boxes to the Prince Su's residence, Zhou Peng and Chang Lin walked in with their men.
"Princess, I have been ordered by the Prince to come and help you move your things," Zhou Peng said, stepping forward first.
Changlin followed suit, saying, "My master also instructed his subordinates to come and help."
"You've come at the right time." Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and gestured with her finger, "Could you please help me move these boxes?"
"Yes," the two replied, and each called for someone to move the boxes.
After they loaded all the boxes onto the carriage, Rong Qingqing took nothing and walked out easily. Xiao Tao and Xing Chun each carried a bundle and followed behind her.
As she walked outside, Rong Qingqing suddenly stopped and looked back at Qinfang Garden.
Although I was forced to stay, after living here for several months, I was actually a little reluctant to leave.
She glanced around the yard, then waved her hand dismissively, "Let's go."
The servants in the Marquis's mansion were all astonished to hear that Prince Su had recognized her as his adopted daughter and that the Emperor had issued an edict to bestow upon her the title of Princess. When they heard that she was leaving the Marquis's mansion today and moving to Prince Su's mansion, they all rushed out to see.
In the past few months, Rong Qingqing has been in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis's mansion. She is fair in rewarding and punishing the servants. Many diligent servants have tasted the benefits under her care. Now that she is leaving, they are very reluctant to part with her. In addition, the Marquis has become the Crown Prince, and the current Marquis's mansion has fallen to the Second Master. Thinking about the Second Master's usual behavior, everyone feels a lot of worry and uncertainty about the future.
"Madam... no, Princess, may I follow you?" At this moment, a servant suddenly called out.
Seeing that someone had spoken up, the other servants chimed in, "Princess, please take us with you."
"Yes, Princess, please take us with you..."
Rong Qingqing stopped and, seeing the expectation in the servants' eyes, softened her expression and reassured them, "Don't worry, I've already spoken to your lord. You will still be paid your usual wages. If you behave yourselves, you will receive extra rewards. Your lord will not mistreat you."
Not to mention that the Prince Su's mansion is not short of servants, some of these people have signed life-or-death contracts with the Marquis's mansion, so even if she were willing to take them away, it would be a troublesome matter.
Moreover, they didn't actually want to follow her; they were just afraid that something might happen if she changed masters, which made them feel uncertain about their future.
Steward Tian chimed in, "The princess is right. The marquis has already said that as long as you do your job well, you will definitely not be treated unfairly."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved and stopped talking about leaving with Rong Qingqing, but they still escorted her to the door.
Xiao Zhen was already waiting for her by the carriage. When he saw her coming, he stepped forward to greet her, then took her hand and helped her into the carriage.
Just as Rong Qingqing was about to bend down to get into the carriage, she suddenly saw the servants blocking the door part to the sides, and Xie Jingrun's tall figure appeared in her field of vision.
Their eyes met, and both remained silent for a moment.
"Let's go." Xiao Zhen also saw Xie Jingrun, frowned slightly, and urged him.
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing withdrew her gaze and bent down to enter the carriage.
The convoy quickly started moving and left in a grand procession.
Xie Jingrun stood there for a long time before Changfeng finally spoke up to ask, "Master, shall we return to the East Palace now?"
"Okay, let's go." Xie Jingrun responded casually and stepped down the stairs.
