Not long after Yi Zexuan left, Xue Yurou went to the backyard.
This time, however, they couldn't even get into the backyard.
As soon as Su Lixia returned, she instructed everyone that if Xue Yurou came, she should not see her, no matter how important the matter was.
Xue Yurou was puzzled, but still asked softly, "Could you please convey that Rou'er really has something to discuss with the princess?"
The guard at the door was getting impatient. He frowned, waved his hand, and said, "Go, go, go. I said I wouldn't see you, and that's final. If we get scolded because of your few words, wouldn't that be a loss? Leave quickly."
Xue Yurou felt a little embarrassed and looked at the maid behind her, saying, "Let's go back."
"yes."
Just as they left, the nanny entered Su Lixia's room and said, "Princess, that Miss Xue did come just now. She stayed and refused to leave, so the guards at the door got a little impatient and said a few words to her before she left."
Su Lixia opened her mouth in surprise, then nodded: "It's alright. Don't let that guard stand guard at the gate anymore, lest he come back and hold a grudge. Just have him guard the courtyard."
"What abilities could they possibly have to secretly retaliate against someone for this?"
Su Lixia raised an eyebrow, shrugged, and said, "After all, we're on someone else's turf. When you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head. Let's be careful."
The old woman nodded and then withdrew.
After the old woman left, Su Lixia burst into laughter. Xiao Lian frowned, feeling both annoyed and puzzled.
"This is so satisfying! Finally, someone dared to challenge her! Xiaolian, don't you think we should reward someone so brave?"
"The princess means to reward the person who spoke ill of Miss Xue."
Su Lixia hummed in response.
"To be honest, I couldn't stand her behavior today. It was so fake. Anyone who talked about her, no matter what their reason was, felt really good."
Su Lixia nodded and said, "Then go and call over the guard who mentioned Miss Xue."
"Okay."
When the guard learned that he had been summoned, he became nervous and asked doubtfully, "I didn't say anything too outrageous. I was just following the princess's instructions. At worst, I can just apologize to that young lady."
Hearing this, Lian'er covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "Alright, why apologize? Just come with me."
The two returned shortly afterward.
"This servant greets the princess."
Su Lixia hummed in agreement and said, "Get up. Your actions today are very much to my liking."
Upon hearing this, the guard, who had been looking down nervously, suddenly raised his head and gave a puzzled "hmm".
"But you should be more careful in the future and be mindful of your behavior. After all, this isn't the palace; it's their residence. Don't let them plot against you in secret."
"Yes. Thank you, Princess. Is there anything else?"
"Hmm, because you made this princess happy, so, Little Lotus, see if there's anything you can give him as a reward."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the guard was flattered and immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "This servant thanks Princess Shang."
"Alright, alright, there's nothing for you to do here. Go out with her and ask for your reward."
"yes."
"Come on, follow me," Xiaolian called to him.
Before long, the guard ran off to brag to his brothers with the reward money, and everyone was surprised: "No way, she just said a few words to her and the princess is already giving her a reward? I could have said so many words to her!"
"But that woman is quite pretty, so I guess you'll all be too embarrassed to say anything about her later."
The other guards scoffed dismissively, "You, with your lofty ideals and aversion to women, are just like that."
"I just didn't like her rambling on and on."
