Jiang Ranli panicked when he heard this, thinking that they were not drinking properly and why did they come here.
"Fourth Master, please leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late later."
After saying that, Jiang Ranli pulled Yinzhen towards the small door in the yard. He already knew her secret passage when she saved Yinzhen before, so she had nothing to hide.
After seeing Yinzhen off, the door was still banging on the door.
"Miss, what should we do?"
Sixian and Sidai were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, with cold sweat on their faces.
"Don't be afraid, go back to your room and sleep. Remember to lock the door. No matter what you hear, don't come out."
Jiang Ranli calmly instructed that Sixian and Sidai must not be seen by the Ninth Prince, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed.
“But, but…”
"Don't say but, go into the house quickly."
Jiang Ranli interrupted them and urged them into the house. He watched them lock the door with his own eyes before he tidied up a little and opened the courtyard gate.
Fortunately, the Fourth Prince came just now, otherwise I would have taken off my equipment and rested when I returned to the yard. If that had been the case, I would have been caught by these three people today.
Outside the courtyard gate, the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince were standing there, reeking of alcohol.
When he saw her, Yinzhen looked behind her and frowned slightly.
"Hey? Concubine, don't you have any maids or servants with you? Why are you the one opening the door?" the Tenth Prince asked in confusion.
This was the first time in the Tenth Prince's life that he saw his master come to open the door, and there was no sign of maids or servants.
Jiang Ranli glanced secretly at Yinzhen. The day after she was punished to copy the "Female Training", Yinzhen sent some maids, servants and old women over, but she declined.
"What's going on?"
Yinzhen spoke in a deep voice. Although the Tenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were not outsiders, his concubine had to open the door herself, and there was not a single maid serving her. It was really embarrassing. If you didn't know, you would think he was treating her harshly.
Jiang Ranli was a little confused. Didn’t he know that she had rejected those maids, servants and old women?
Just when she was confused, Chang Shun, who was following behind Yinzhen, spoke.
"Master Jiu, the maids, servants and old women you assigned to the concubine last time were rejected by her. At that time, Master Jiu was busy on official business, so I did not report it to you."
After hearing this, Yin'er's expression improved a little, but he still stared at Jiang Ranli.
He assigned her maids, servants, and old women, and gave her the dignity of a concubine, but she did not appreciate it.
"Why?".
Yin'er's voice was not loud, but it contained a hint of anger.
Seeing this, Jiang Ranli glanced at the Fourteenth Prince. It must have been his idea, otherwise, the Ninth Prince would not have thought of coming to her at all.
Seeing Jiang Ranli's gaze towards him, Fourteenth Prince was very embarrassed. He just wanted to see how she was doing here and was not trying to find fault.
"In reply to Master Jiu, I feel that having two maids around me is enough. With my appearance, if those maids, servants, and old women follow me, it will hinder their future. Moreover, I also want to do my part for Master Jiu and save some expenses in the mansion."
Jiang Ranli tried to explain the reasons from all aspects, using both emotional and logical means, hoping that the Ninth Prince would calm down. However, she felt that the Ninth Prince seemed even angrier.
Yin'er's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and a hint of anger permeated his body.
"You are my concubine. It is a blessing for those maids and servants to be able to serve you. Besides, I don't lack money, so you don't have to save it for me."
Yinzhen was very angry. Was he the kind of person who was so poor that he needed his wife to save money for him?
