Fu Zige really dislikes Fu Ziwu. Now that they no longer live in the same mansion, she doesn't even want to see Lu Qingyan.
The invitation was sent but received no response; even when Lu Qingyan went there in person, she was turned away.
The white-haired old steward chuckled as he stopped Lu Qingyan outside the mansion: "Princess Consort De, it's truly an offense. However, our Princess Consort is not currently at the mansion, so I'm afraid she cannot entertain you."
Lu Qingyan glanced at the vermilion gate: "What are you saying, steward? My sister is a princess, the mistress of this mansion. Why would she need to be personally entertained? Don't you have maids in your mansion?"
The old steward's beard twitched: "Princess Consort De, you have arrived but your master is not here. We servants are really at a loss to serve you. Therefore, Princess Consort De, please come another day."
Lu Qingyan lazily patted the magpie supporting her: "Is the master not here?"
She chuckled knowingly, "Since Your Highness is not here, why did no one utter a sound when I delivered the invitation? Now that I've come to your door, you're using this excuse to fob me off? Do you really think I can't do anything about you?"
"This..." The old steward denied, "Princess Consort De, please forgive me, this servant really doesn't know anything about the invitation. It must have been something that some servant took and then threw in that spot. Should I go look for it now?"
The old butler was about to leave when Lu Qingyan sneered, "Stop!"
The old steward cupped his hands and asked, "Does Princess De have any further instructions?"
“The servant of Prince Yi’s mansion is disloyal. Tan Jie, send him to where he belongs.”
Tan Jie was left by Shangguan Ren to accompany Lu Qingyan; he was only allowed to go out with her. To be honest, Prince Shangguan Ren was indeed a good person, not a completely despicable man. He treated Lu Qingyan politely, giving her the dignity befitting a legal wife and avoiding putting her in a difficult position, and he himself never made things difficult for her. If the original owner of this body, Fu Ziwu, were still alive, he would certainly have lived a life of luxury and comfort by Shangguan Ren's side.
The man he left for Lu Qingyan, Tan Jie, was a veteran who had served him for many years. Now, with Lu Qingyan, he was a good bodyguard who obeyed orders. He agreed as soon as Lu Qingyan spoke.
"Yes." Tan Jie said, immediately grabbing the old butler's hands behind his back.
The old butler, his face flushed with anger, exclaimed, "Princess Consort De, how dare you!"
Lu Qingyan stroked her slender fingers and smiled, "Old steward, you must have asked your master to say this personally! It's your fault as servants for not treating me well. As Prince Yi's sister-in-law, it's natural for me to care about the Prince Yi's residence and punish servants like you who are immoral and disrespectful to their elders. Don't worry, even if Prince Yi finds out about this, he should thank me. I did this for their own good."
"Sister!" The person in question, Fu Zige, finally arrived. She gave a wink, and someone came over and took the old butler away from Tan Jie.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Why are you so angry? Tell me and I'll stand up for you." Fu Zige looked at Lu Qingyan with a gentle expression, as if she were looking out for her younger sister.
Lu Qingyan curled her lips and glanced at Fu Zige: "I wondered who it was, but it's you, sister! Weren't you not at home? Why did you come out? It seems the servants in your household are quite bold, daring to make up stories about their master. You really need to discipline them properly, instead of just talking the talk."
