"Your Highness, I have been a slave in your mansion for three generations and have always been loyal. Please spare my life. That female guard looks difficult to deal with. If I wake her up with a slap, she will probably be silenced before she even has a chance to speak."

Zhu Yu: "This woman is smart. Even if she is not silenced, she will be hated. Just like Prince Jing, I don't know how much he is disgusted with me right now."

Prince Jing: . . . . . .

"Go down."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your great kindness." The old woman said as she kowtowed, then stood up and disappeared in a flash.

After that, no maids or old women passed by Prince Jing anymore, and even no guards were around.

Prince Jing, who was seeing the cold and lonely scene in front of him, pondered for a moment, and walked to Liu Yinyin and the female guard. He didn't believe in evil and slapped the female guard awake. The moment the female guard woke up, her eyes were filled with fierceness. She stabbed with a knife before she could see who was coming. Even though Prince Jing barely dodged it, if it was the old woman just now, she would have been killed on the spot.

Zhu Yu, who lifted the carriage curtain and peeked, said: "I suddenly feel a little scared. If Prince Jing had done the same thing just now, I would have been doomed. This female guard is even more powerful than a man. Do you think she could have rescued Liu Yinyin from the black-clothed man with her skills?"

Ai Yun: "I don't know. What kind of master trains what kind of servants. Look at the maidservant at Prince Jing's place. She dared to beg for mercy. This shows that Prince Jing is not a bad person by nature. He should be pretty good to his servants."

As if what he said was right, Prince Jing touched his nose unconsciously and looked at the female guard who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy: "Everyone has been drugged. Slapping is the only way to detoxify. Now that you are awake, your master is in your hands."

If the female guard just now just looked frightened, this time she was so scared that she cried, and Prince Jing was a little confused.

The female guard dropped her head to the ground and trembled as she begged, "My Lord, please forgive me. I dare not slap the young lady. Please be kind and let me go."

The night breeze blew coolly, and the night had returned to calm. The only sound could be heard as the guards and servants packed up their belongings. The female guard's plea for mercy was particularly harsh to Prince Jing's ears, and he could even hear the female guard's teeth chattering. Looking at the person kneeling in front of him begging and trembling, Prince Jing didn't know what to think. He stretched out his hand and slapped Liu Yinyin in the face with the same force that Zhu Yu had used on him, then turned and left, all in one go.

The sound of applause was like a reassurance pill, making everyone in the audience feel relieved.

The guards came over to report that they had tied up the men in black and thrown them into the carriage used by the old women, and stood aside waiting for Prince Jing's instructions.

Prince Jing was a little annoyed, and this place was indeed not suitable for interrogation: "Go into the city and go to the local county government office."

Without a carriage, the maids and old women could only walk. They thought about it and blamed it all on Liu Yinyin. If she hadn't insisted on coming over and occupying a carriage, they wouldn't have been left without a carriage. Really? Then they turned to envy the Sakura duo. Their master was so nice that he let them ride in the same carriage, unlike some people who shamelessly came over and occupied one carriage with two people.

Liu Yinyin in the carriage was not having a good time either.

Both sides of her cheeks were swollen, and one of her teeth was about to fall out from the side hit by the man in black. She didn't know how to react for a moment. She was so sad. One of her teeth was about to fall out, her face was swollen like a pig's head, and Prince Jing slapped her hard.

She believed what the female guard said, because her face was as swollen as hers, and the faces of the others also had traces of being beaten, but she was still very sad, because she saw that Zhu Yu and Ai Yun's faces were fine, and even the faces of the two little maids behind them were only slightly red, which meant that they didn't need to be beaten so hard. If it had been before that incident, her brother Xian would definitely not have the heart to hit her so hard, and would not even have the heart to touch her, let alone turn around and leave coldly without even looking at her after beating her.

Her heart, which had never felt that she had done anything wrong, was suddenly shaken. If she had not made that choice in the first place, would she still be pampered by Brother Xian now? Apart from Brother Xian, who else could be so sincere and kind to her, and have such a high status?

But her brother Xian probably won't look back.

She suddenly came to her senses. Instead of rushing towards him and causing him disgust, wouldn't it be better for them to just calm down for a while?

Even if I can't get him in the future, I should be able to gain some benefits for myself with the remaining affection.

I'm so unwilling to accept this. After all, I was the one who shamelessly put in so much effort to get close to him.

However, people must know the times.

In the following days, Liu Yinyin really quieted down. She no longer shamelessly approached Prince Jing, nor did she cause trouble for Zhu Yu and the others. She was even so quiet that she seemed as if she didn't exist.

It was unusual, but no one cared.

Without Liu Yinyin as an eyesore, Zhu Yu could live a comfortable life eating, drinking and whispering with Ai Yun every day.

On the night of the slapping incident, the system told Zhu Yu that his bond value had dropped a lot. It was 55% before, but now it is only 45%.

Zhu Yu even specifically asked the system: "Will Prince Jing's bond value drop a lot if he hits her?"

The system was so angry at this crazy host that it had to be restarted.

After getting a negative answer from the system, Zhu Yu felt a little disappointed, but with the mentality of enjoying life today, she decided to celebrate secretly. So, she started whispering to Ai Yun.

She didn't forget to help Ai Yun gain favor in front of Prince Jing. When her suggestion that Ai Yun give Prince Jing a calming sachet was rejected, she started to deceive him: "Ai Yun, listen to me, we have to have a good relationship with him. Think about it, I am just a little daughter of the prime minister here. A new emperor chooses new ministers. If my father is not loved one day, I will be nothing. But Prince Jing is different. He is a prince, and he is very likely to become the emperor. If we get along well with him, we can walk sideways for the rest of our lives and do whatever we want. Isn't it easy?"

Ai Yun, under her big deception, silently began to let her get medicine and sachets from the space.

Prince Jing in the next carriage: Haha, women, they are all the same.

So when the purse was handed to him, he accepted it with a clear conscience, not even wanting to glance at the other two girls.

Zhu Yu: Oh my, so tsundere.

Even though they complained, they still invited Prince Jing to go with them to the temple fair in town, saying there would be acrobatics and delicious food. It was Zhu Yu's first time to visit a temple fair here, and Ai Yun had never been to a proper temple fair before, so of course she wanted to go and see the excitement. She also wanted to take Prince Jing with her in order to get closer to him and have him take a personal bodyguard with her.

Prince Jing did not comment on their invitation.
