I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

He seemed to have his mind revealed, and looked away. "If you were sitting in my position, I'm afraid you would be even more cruel than me."

Jiang Xingkuo stood up and walked to the door, looking at the gradually dilapidated swing in the yard, and said disapprovingly, "Well, then, let's not do that. I'm not interested in your kingdom or your harem."

"what about me?"

Jiang Xingkuo was shocked. She looked up at the cloudless blue sky and laughed at herself:

"A little."

"Only a little?" He raised his eyebrows and walked to her side.

"You know what? If I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"Why don't you stay? I'll give you everything I can give."

“Does that include freedom?”

"Aren't you free enough now?"

“Freedom downward is not real freedom.”

He stepped over the threshold in silence and walked out. "Don't be too harsh, and... Concubine De is innocent."

Jiang Xingkuo's face darkened.

The palace gate slowly closed, and Tengxi and others filed in.

Everyone did their job, some swept the floor, some put away the dishes.

Tengxi lowered his head and walked to her side.

"Do you have any other instructions, young lady?"

Jiang Xingkuo relaxed his stiff expression and said, "It's okay. Go find your little sister and reminisce about the past."

Tengxi bowed and said, "Yes. Thank you for your help, young lady. I am very grateful. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

She sat down and suddenly said to Tengxi's back: "Please ask for me - who is this Defei?"

Tengxi stopped and bowed politely again. "Yes."

Turning around, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Tengxi's lips.

Inside the princess's mansion, the servant hurriedly walked up to the butler who was checking the accounts and whispered a few words.

When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately became alert. "Which warehouse is being used?"

"We used the warehouse at the south gate."

The butler put down the account book in confusion. "Isn't it the one at the southwest gate?"

"No. Although it's close, it's definitely the warehouse at the South Gate. Several workers from Runxue Hall are moving things there right now."

"What are you transporting?"

"I asked, and they just said it was candy. I went to ask around again, and I found out that something went wrong with the purchase of goods at Runxuetang, and their warehouse couldn't hold it. Miss Jiang took advantage of her good relationship with the princess, so she temporarily stored it in our house."

The butler picked up the account book again. "She's stupid, so be it. Just let her be. As long as it doesn't interfere with the master's business."

"Well. We won't check it now." The servant was about to leave.

"Wait!"

The butler stood up and shook his sleeves, "Let's go take a look."

In front of the warehouse, there were only four people from Runxuetang, and two of them were forming a team and carrying two boxes.

"Hey, hey, over there, stop, stop, stop! Stop!" The servant next to the housekeeper started shouting from a distance.

The people in Runxuetang put down their burdens in confusion.

"What are you transporting? Where are you sending it to?" the servant asked.

"Sugar! Our Runxuetang's sugar!" The people in Runxuetang looked at them in confusion.

"Why use so much?" The butler pointed to the two huge boxes.

"We at Runxuetang originally run a milk tea dessert business. The amount of sugar we use every day is equivalent to the amount used by the Princess Mansion in a month. In addition, the weather has been hot and dry these past two days. There are so many customers at Runxuetang that we can't even seat them all, so we brought some more back for backup."

Despite this explanation, the butler still looked at them suspiciously.

"Who asked you to come?"

"I!"

A crisp voice was heard from not far away, and everyone turned around.

"Your Highness the Princess."

A woman and her maid walked slowly towards them.

Although the woman had an oval face with a pair of big, round almond-shaped eyes, which made her look quite cute and adorable, her stern face gave off an air of majesty that made people feel pressured.

"Your Highness the Princess. What brings you here?" The butler smiled brightly.

Huanyan didn't want to look at him anymore, and just said coldly: "I ate too much in the morning, so I walked around. I didn't expect to hear the noise here, so I came to see... Xiaoguan——"

"Little...Little Guan?" The butler smiled awkwardly and turned his head left and right to confirm.

Everyone else lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"It's you! What are you looking at!" Song Yan pointed at the housekeeper and said loudly.

"Ah?... This, this, this..." The housekeeper was confused, but instinctively agreed immediately: "I'm..."

"You have such great authority! I need to send my things out, and you want to take care of it? You really deserve to be called Guan. You live by the sea, right? You've even put your hands in my trouser pockets!"

Huanyan's voice suddenly rose, and the butler knelt down in fear.

"The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"

"Don't dare? Then what are you doing here? Chatting, chatting and playing?! Have you finished your work? I think you are quite brave!"

Huan Yan's aggressive look actually calmed the butler down.

"Princess, some antiques were lost in the mansion a few days ago and have not been found yet, so I am a little alert. Please don't blame me, Princess. I am just doing my job."

An Huanyan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, the housekeeper quickly said:

"Although these are Runxuetang's things, they have to leave the Princess's Mansion after all, so I'd better check them one by one. I'm also responsible for the guys at Runxuetang. If something goes wrong and the wrong goods are shipped, and the guys come back to find out, I won't be able to explain myself then."

When the servants of Runxuetang heard this, they thought it made some sense and turned their attention to Huanyan.

Huanyan hesitated for a while, but still waved her hand:

"Since you've said that, why should I stop you from doing your job? Xiaoguan, you'd better check it carefully - check it carefully - it would be best if you could find some antique vase in it -"

Anyone could hear the sarcasm in Huanyan's voice.

Song Yan said in a discontented voice: "He said to check, so he checked. Does he think he is the king of heaven?..."

"Not urgent."

The corners of Huanyan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile that was not a smile, but her eyes were as cold as a cold pond, without any warmth at all.

The housekeeper was also a little panicked, his eyes darting around. "I'd like to ask you two brothers to open the box..."

The two guys also looked at Huanyan.

Huanyan also nodded slightly.

"Princess—" Song Yan shouted indignantly.

Huanyan just raised her hand to signal her to be quiet. Songyan could only shut up and stare at her fiercely.

The guys opened the two boxes, revealing white powdered sugar.

It really is sugar.

The butler was already sweating profusely at this time. He pulled up his sleeves to wipe his forehead, then grabbed a handful of sugar and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The sweet taste spread in his mouth, but the housekeeper felt bitter in his heart.

Since he had already offended her, maybe he could gain something from it. Thinking of this, he tried to put his hand deeper.

"Don't fucking push your luck!" Huanyan's expression changed.

The butler was startled and pulled his hand out.
