Within half a month, I will repay you double!
Granny Rui spoke with unwavering conviction, her gaze fixed firmly on Rong Xi, awaiting her reply.
"Granny Rui, didn't you understand what I said? Or are you trying to prove with your actions that your approach is right?"
Within half a month, ten mid-grade spirit stones became twenty.
Rong Xi believed that Granny Rui could do it, and she had no doubt about it at all.
But if she actually agreed to Granny Rui's suggestion, then she would still have fallen into the trap set by the Seal Stone. In half a month, ten mid-grade spirit stones would turn into twenty, which is even more ruthless than loan sharking.
Most importantly, Granny Rui clearly intended to use those ten mid-grade spirit stones to place the seal stone. Moreover, since Granny Rui had provided the capital for her sins, Granny Rui had to bear half of the karma associated with her.
Their intentions are despicable!
If it weren't for the guidance from Granny Rui these past two days, Rong Xi would have immediately turned her back on her.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
Granny Rui hurriedly replied respectfully, "I admire Your Highness's refusal to lend money from the 'credited stones.' However, according to Your Highness's reasoning, I intend to lend money from the 'credited stones,' but I lack the capital..."
"You can leave now!"
Upon hearing what Granny Rui was thinking, Rong Xi immediately told her to send her away before she could finish speaking.
"Anyone around me who dares to place a seal stone will not be let off easily. The old nanny is not one of my people, and she only had this idea. This time, I will not hold it against you!"
Rong Xi raised her hand and took back the ten mid-grade spirit stones that had been placed in front of Granny Rui.
She can't control what others do, but those around her must maintain their integrity.
This is a matter of principle!
Perhaps no one understands her now, but in time, they will understand.
Cultivation, defying fate, is inherently going against the will of Heaven.
Heaven will send down all sorts of trials, including heavenly tribulations. If a cultivator does not know how to respect and cherish himself, he will surely be reduced to ashes when the heavenly tribulation falls.
Of course, these are all Rong Xi's guesses.
However, based on her experience watching countless movies and TV dramas, this guess is quite close to reality. At least, that's what Rong Xi herself thinks.
"Is the Princess Consort sending me away?"
Granny Rui was stunned.
Not long ago, she reached a consensus with Granny Xiang to follow Rong Xi for a long time in order to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"yes!"
Rong Xi nodded, not denying it.
"Why?"
Granny Rui truly didn't understand. As a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, she had a high degree of autonomy in the palace regarding whether or not she should follow a particular master. She had come here because the Fourth Prince had promised her immense benefits.
"The old woman's philosophy differs somewhat from mine. I'm a rather lazy person and don't want to spend too much effort controlling those around me. Therefore, it's better to nip potential troubles in the bud!"
In short, she dislikes trouble.
As for Granny Rui, she was too cunning and was destined to cause trouble.
Rather than waiting until things get unpleasant, it's better to nip it in the bud before it even begins.
Granny Rui understood this time, but she was also stunned.
Faced with such a Fourth Princess Consort, she didn't know how to continue speaking.
She was a cultivator's nanny at the Golden Core stage, holding a transcendent position in the palace. If it weren't for her extremely high standards, she would be qualified to be a guardian nanny for a concubine.
"Does the nanny have anything else to say?"
Seeing that Granny Rui was standing there motionless, Rong Xi looked up and gazed at her.
"This servant has nothing to say!"
Granny Rui was truly speechless. She, a dignified Golden Core cultivator's nanny, was actually being disliked!
Fine, if this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will.
Just as Granny Rui was about to take her leave, Granny Xiang returned.
Ten mid-grade spirit stones were exchanged for a full ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, which far exceeded Rong Xi's expectations. Originally, Rong Xi guessed that it would be quite remarkable if Granny Xiang could exchange for five thousand low-grade spirit stones, but unexpectedly, it was more than double.
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny!"
Rong Xi was very happy.
With ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, her plan could begin once she left the palace to establish her own residence.
"My Ladyship, I don't know about this competition between the two of us..."
"Granny Xiang, you've won!"
Rong Xi smiled slightly, "Granny Rui has chosen to withdraw from the competition. I wonder if Granny Rui would be willing to stay by my side from now on?"
"This servant is willing!"
Granny Xiang had already decided to follow Rong Xi, so she naturally agreed without hesitation.
"My lady, I have something to say!"
Granny Rui was originally planning to leave, but after Granny Xiang agreed to stay by Rong Xi's side, she changed her mind and decided to stay, even if it meant swearing an oath to Heaven.
"Please speak, Granny!"
Rong Xi did disagree with some of Rui Mama's ideas, but that didn't mean she had to be on the opposite side. She understood the principle of parting amicably.
"This servant requests to stay by the Fujin's side. This servant swears to heaven that I will abide by any rules set by the Fujin and will never do anything against morality on my own!"
Granny Rui spoke very solemnly and made a vow.
While such vows may not be effective, for cultivators, every vow is a demon within their hearts. Breaking one's vows will inevitably lead to being entangled by these demons. If one cannot withstand them, the consequence will be utter destruction and eternal damnation.
Rong Xi really didn't expect that Granny Rui would do this.
If she refuses now, she would be pushing things to the extreme.
That's enough!
They've already sworn an oath to God, so why is she so stubbornly clinging to it?
Besides, the previous Granny Rui only had that idea; she hadn't actually put it into action. She couldn't just condemn someone based on their opinion!
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you two from now on!"
Rong Xi spoke in a deep voice.
Granny Rui and Granny Xiang responded in unison, "We are willing to die for the Princess!"
This is an oath of allegiance!
This also means that from this moment on, Rong Xi can try to trust them. They are no longer acting on orders from the Fourth Prince, but have become Rong Xi's true guardian nannies.
