Lin Ziwen noticed that Su Lixia didn't seem to care much, so it seemed she hadn't understood his meaning.
Then she added, "Princess, you should also be careful, as those two are your personal attendants. If they also do something wasteful, you'll have to be careful in the palace."
At this moment, the waiter brought out the wine and the dishes that had already been prepared, and introduced what the dishes were.
After the waiter left, Su Lixia asked, "Why do you say that?"
“The princess is usually very favored and must receive many rewards from the palace. If they really squandered all the money, they must have some wicked ideas.”
"Oh! I see!" Su Lixia finally realized what was happening and added, "Absolutely not! Not a single penny less of my money is acceptable!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Ziwen was amused by his reaction.
Then Su Lixia gestured to Xiao Lian and said, "Keep an eye on them these next few days. If that's the case, we absolutely cannot let them live."
"Yes, Princess."
The dishes were served in no time, and the three of them began to eat.
Just then, a woman passed by, glanced at Su Lixia, and left. Then she turned back and began to squint and scrutinize her closely.
Su Lixia was puzzled. With her chopsticks still in her mouth, she looked up at her. This person looked very elegant. Could it be that they knew each other?
"What are you still looking at, Mother? Let's go!"
Beside him was his son, who looked frail and delicate, yet also somewhat shy.
Does Su Lixia's evening demeanor resemble that of a resentful woman?
"Where are you going! You're spineless!" The woman disdainfully shook off his hand.
"May I ask who you are, Madam?" Su Lixia asked.
Xiao Lian was hiding with her head down, and she could hardly believe what Su Lixia was saying.
"Oh! It was just before the New Year, and you've already forgotten about it! Come on! Take a good look and see if you recognize her!" The woman raised her voice several decibels, immediately attracting the attention of those around her.
The young man was pulled forward by the woman and almost fell. Looking at his frail appearance, Su Lixia snorted and almost laughed.
"I truly don't recognize you!"
The woman put her hands on her hips, pointed at Su Lixia, and said, "You, Fifth Princess! You harassed my son like that back then, and the whole street was buzzing with rumors, so much so that we still haven't gotten engaged! Now you don't even recognize us? How is the Fifth Princess going to make amends for our reputation!"
Upon hearing this, the people around started winking and pointing.
"Ah...this..." Su Lixia was speechless. When did this happen? It wasn't in the plot!
"Of course the plot doesn't go into detail, since you're just cannon fodder. But that's your character, so it's normal for something like this to happen," the little system explained casually.
Seeing this, Lin Ziwen stepped forward and explained, "Perhaps it's all a misunderstanding. This young master seems quite elegant and young, so why would he be in such a hurry to get engaged?"
"Misunderstanding? If it weren't for the rumors that he was the Fifth Princess's man, how could we not be able to arrange a marriage? Besides, my son is already twenty-two!"
Goodness... I'm practically an old bachelor here.
Su Lixia sighed, finally understanding why Xiao Lian had said she had always been kept in the palace. If she had known this, she would have been better off staying in the palace.
"Or else! Let the Fifth Princess grant our wish and make my son the prince consort! Then this matter will be over!"
Upon hearing this, the young man beside her looked at Su Lixia with anticipation.
"How could someone from such a lowly family as you possibly be able to climb up to a princess! Besides, my princess merely touched his chin and didn't do anything excessive! That was an honor for you!"
Oh my god! Su Lixia looked at Xiao Lian, who suddenly stood up to speak for her, and wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it. How embarrassing!
