Chu Ci turned her head and looked at Sheng He in confusion. Seeing Sheng He's serious and determined face, as if she was thinking about something important, Chu Ci twitched the corner of her lips, but didn't say anything in the end.
"By the way, send someone to investigate Su Yu's situation in the mansion over the years and compile a report for me."
Chu Ci raised his hand and touched his chin, then spoke casually.
He tilted his head, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Sheng He agreed and followed Chu Ci back to the Princess's Mansion.
When they returned to the Princess's Mansion, Su Yu's carriage had not arrived yet. The guards were standing outside the door. When they saw Chu Ci coming, they were stunned for a moment and quickly saluted.
Chu Ci nodded, an expression of deep hatred and resentment on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she walked in.
In front of the main house stood a woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties and dressed like a palace lady. When she heard the voice, she looked up at Chu Ci who had entered.
Chu Ci's foot froze slightly in the air as she stepped into the door. Her big eyes blinked before she put her foot down. The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she looked extremely well-behaved. "Mammy, you haven't gone home yet."
"The Imperial Concubine personally appointed this old servant to instruct the Princess on etiquette. Without the Princess, I naturally wouldn't dare to return and report."
The woman couldn't help but smile when she saw Chu Ci's expression. Although there were some wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her face looked unusually friendly. Although she was speaking words of accusation, there was a hint of tenderness in her words.
Sheng He laughed secretly behind Chu Ci. Chu Ci twitched the corner of her lips, took two steps forward, raised her hand and tugged at the man's sleeve, "Mammy——"
This little voice is as sweet as it can be, and it is this kind of personality that makes people reluctant to blame her.
"You can't act like a spoiled child. Princess, have you forgotten what the Empress said before?"
Chu Ci, who had been learning various moves since childhood, was most troubled by the etiquette teachings. Since he was usually spoiled, no one dared to say anything much.
However, the person in front of him was the imperial concubine's wet nurse at that time. Her surname was Liu. She had been with the imperial concubine for twenty or thirty years and had been in the palace for more than ten years. Naturally, she was different from others.
The corners of Chu Ci's lips twitched again, and her little head drooped.
Coincidentally, there was another noise at the door, and Su Yu followed the guard in. The young man still looked a little shabby, but perhaps he had cleaned himself up, so he didn't look that embarrassed. His dark eyes looked around and then fell on the people in front of the main door.
Seeing Chu Ci, who was originally quite arrogant, lowering his little head, he looked like a good baby who admitted his mistakes with a good attitude.
Su Yu paused, then his eyes fell on the person in front of Chu Ci.
Of course he recognized who this person was.
Aunt Liu noticed the sound and looked over. Her eyebrows raised slightly as she glanced at Chu Ci, who was still lowering her head in front of her. "Is this Prince Xiao? Why are you here at the Princess's residence?"
She roughly repeated what she had said before to Madam Liu. Madam Liu had lived in the deep palace for so many years, so she was naturally worldly-wise. Although she could find no fault with Chu Ci's way of handling the matter, she still found it hard to accept that he brought such a foreign man back to her house.
And now all the concubines in the palace are worried about the marriage of this little guy.
