Ye Yingtao bit her lower lip, somewhat unhappy. "What happened last time wasn't our fault, was it? Who could have imagined that a meteorite would suddenly fall from the sky and kill all of our people? What could I do? I was desperate too."
The man dressed as a servant was also feeling a bit awkward. "This is really strange. No one would believe it if I told them, but that's exactly what happened. The Zhou family is completely unharmed. It's really bizarre."
Ye Yingtao, taking advantage of the fact that Prince Gong was far away in the north and couldn't hear her, couldn't help but complain, "The Prince's situation is different now. He's being chased around by that dog emperor, and our lives have become much harder. We have fewer and fewer people, and the money we can use is limited. If it weren't for the fact that I can get some money from the Zhong family to spend,..."
Life will probably get even harder now. The ten men I lost last time were the best fighters I have here, and they're all dead. Now I can't even find anyone useful. Am I supposed to send the Zhong family's guards to kill for me?"

Xingxing was only four years old when she was tied up. Any adult could have easily killed her, but Prince Gong's men managed to entangle her for more than half a year without succeeding.
Every time they try to take action, something unexpected happens. They try to kill the princess, but the ones who end up getting hurt are always the ones who want to harm her. It seems like fate is really protecting the little girl.
However, the group that kidnapped the princess died soon afterward, so no one knows what they went through.
"Madam, please be careful what you say. If these words reach the Prince's ears, we'll all be in trouble. Let's think about how to get rid of that little girl. By the way, you don't know this, do you? That little girl is currently a guest at the Zhong residence. She was personally brought in by the first wife," the servant reminded her.
"What a coincidence!" Ye Yingtao suddenly stood up, her beautiful face slightly distorted. "I think we should just take action at the Zhong residence and then pin the blame on that old woman. Can you think of a good way to kill two birds with one stone?"
