After leaving the palace, the palace maid went to the general's mansion and used some money to invite the servant who was supposed to deliver the sword to the general's mansion.
He saw a woman dressed like an ordinary woman and was a little surprised: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"I'm here to show you a clear path. If you do as I say, I guarantee you'll get a fortune you won't be able to spend in your lifetime!"
The woman's words surprised him. How could it be possible...
Seeing the doubt on the other person's face, the woman continued to persuade him: "And what I want you to do is also very simple."
The other party still didn't believe the woman's words...
Until the woman took out a sum that surprised him...
The corners of the woman's mouth rose: "Let's have a good talk!"
The next day, Tai Banxue arrived at the Regent's Palace.
Inside the palace, Ni Yueshan was eating lunch alone when Tai Banxue arrived. She looked up and asked curiously, "You didn't come yesterday, but you're coming today?"
"Isn't it that you, Princess, should greet the prince first, and then Banxue can explain later, to prevent the prince from getting furious after hearing about it? Although Banxue has never experienced the prince's methods, she knows them and cannot afford them."
Ni Yueshan chuckled and said, "You are quite capable of making plans for yourself. As soon as the prince left the table, I will have him summoned so that you can explain everything to him face to face."
"Okay." Tai Banxue answered very happily.
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen was invited over. When his eyes fell on Tai Banxue, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Tai Banxue bowed politely, looking very respectful.
Jing Yuchen sat down. "You were the one who spread the rumor? You made me guilty of being reckless and lawless? The princess even kicked me out of the room because of that rumor. When have I ever suffered such humiliation?"
Tai Banxue originally bowed slightly, but at this moment, he was so scared that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, I know I was wrong and I will find a way to quell the rumors!" Tai Banxue knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Ni Yueshan coughed. "She already knows she's wrong. What else do you want, Your Highness?"
"If I let her go easily, won't others think that I am too easy to offend? How will I maintain my prestige then?"
Listening to Jing Yuchen talking to her about prestige and non-prestige, Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes and said nothing more.
Tai Banxue asked nervously, "Prince Regent, if you can calm down, I'll do whatever you want to Banxue, but please don't bring trouble to the Shangshu Mansion!"
"Are you negotiating terms with me?" Jing Yuchen's expression turned stern.
Tai Banxue realized she had spoken out of turn and immediately explained, "No, I wouldn't dare! Please calm down, Your Highness!"
Tai Banxue didn't dare to show any toughness in front of Jing Yuchen.
Jing Yuchen snorted, "Seeing that you've corrected your mistakes, I'm not unreasonable. From now on, the princess will be your master. Are you happy with that?"
Tai Banxue was stunned. Master?
She is the legitimate daughter of the Shangshu Mansion!
And no matter how noble Ni Yueshan is, he shouldn't be her master!
Seeing Tai Banxue staring in surprise, he didn't say anything for a long time.
Jing Yuchen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Why, are you still not happy?"
Tai Banxue's face was filled with embarrassment. "This... the Shangshu Mansion still needs to maintain its reputation? Banxue can't let Grandpa and Dad become a laughing stock!"
Jing Yuchen raised the corner of his mouth, "I didn't ask you to serve me personally, do you understand? I only want you to obey the princess's arrangements from now on. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make your Shangshu Mansion lose face."
Ni Yueshan was sitting aside. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyebrows slightly. Jing Yuchen really knew how to make things difficult for others.
She coughed lightly, then spoke: "Ms. Tai's status is quite noble, how can we let her be a maid? At most, she can be our own."
As she spoke, Ni Yueshan helped Tai Banxue to her feet and warned her, "If the prince really gets angry and makes your actions public, your reputation will be ruined. A woman's reputation won't affect her career, but it will affect her future marriage."
"You know the seriousness of this matter, so from now on, I don't ask you to treat me respectfully like a servant. I only ask you to become a family member of the palace, become friends with me, and work for us. In the future, the Shangshu Mansion will definitely benefit."
She was originally going to be a maid, but Ni Yueshan considerately asked her to be her friend. Now hearing that, she feels much more comfortable.
Her eyes had been gradually turning red, but at this moment, the tears that had not yet overflowed from her eyes were gradually held back.
"Thank you, Princess." Tai Banxue said gratefully.
Ni Yueshan glared at Jing Yuchen and said, "Look at you, how scared have you made the little girl?"
Jing Yuchen said very aggrievedly: "I didn't do anything wrong. I haven't hit anyone yet. This is already considered polite!"
He snorted, looking a little arrogant.
Ni Yueshan felt somewhat helpless, but she didn't continue to argue with Jing Yuchen. She simply said to Tai Banxue, "Let's go to the General's Mansion together!"
Tai Banxue looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "The princess wants to go with me?"
Ni Yueshan patiently explained, "General Zou's wife is still in the palace. If I don't go and you apologize alone, he'll probably get angry and no one will be able to stop him. If anything happens to you, how will I be able to help you?"
Tai Banxue breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Princess."
In the general's mansion, Zou Yangyao was still lying on the bed, healing his wounds. When he heard that Ni Yueshan and Tai Banxue had arrived, he had them brought in.
Tai Banxue saw Zou Yangyao's pale face and her eyes flickered. "Greetings, General Zou."
