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

"It's so dirty! How can you use the candy like this? Will you be responsible if the customer gets sick? Who knows where your hands have touched? Did you just wipe your nose?"

After he said this, everyone looked at him with disgust.

He was also stunned. He was in a dilemma. He could neither touch nor not touch. He could only compromise:

"Princess, please forgive me. The brothers from Ruixue Hall please come in."

Huanyan sneered, "Just watch carefully. I will help you check if there is anything in there that you said was lost in the mansion. Otherwise, you will accuse me of stealing from the palace! Songyan! Go!"

"Yes!"

Song Yan, who was in a fierce mood, took out a large, shiny spoon from somewhere, inserted it deeply into the sugar, and then pressed it to the side, so that the bottom of the box could be seen at a glance.

Huanyan pointed with her finger. "Xiaoguan, look carefully! Is there anything?"

"No, no! Absolutely not! I am really sorry to trouble the princess. I apologize for disturbing the brothers in Runxue Hall. I am also doing this for the mansion." The butler knelt down and saluted repeatedly.

The waiter from Runxuetang looked at her again.

She waved her hand impatiently. "Go ahead. It's no big deal."

Everyone was about to leave, but Huanyan called the housekeeper again.

"Xiao Guan——"

"My little one is..."

"You just said something was lost in the mansion."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Humph. Wasn't it because you failed to control the thief in the mansion? You're so bold to bring the case to my head!"

"This, this, this... Runxuetang and the princess..."

"Why? Runxuetang was founded by me and Miss Jiang. Do I have to tell you such a private matter?"

"Little one, damn it—"

"You deserve to die. Let's not talk about your fault for failing to discipline. You haven't caught a small thief for several days. You are just a slacker as a housekeeper! If it happens again, go back to Hai Mansion by yourself. My princess mansion can't afford a big shot like you!"

Huanyan said this and left with her head held high.

The butler was left kneeling there in fear, questioning his life. It was said that the princess was kind by nature and never beat or scolded the servants. Was he stepping on her tail recently?

Songyan followed behind Huanyan and asked in a low voice:

"Princess, why did you open the box for him to see? You could have just refused and given him a beating!"

Huanyan smiled bitterly, "The more you don't let him see it, the more he wants to see it. People are always like this. Rather than letting him do something behind my back, it's better to let him see it and feel relieved, so that I can find a reason to scold him."

Songyan suddenly understood. "I see. Then you are not afraid of the box..."

"Xingxing is not that stupid. Neither am I." Huanyan said lightly.

Songyan thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. "What do you mean?"

"He saw it the first time. Anyway, I didn't transport anything bad. But I transport a little bit every day, or every few days. He can't see it every time, right?"

"Princess, that's a good idea. What if? What if he checks every day? That housekeeper is really annoying."

Huanyan held her forehead with her hand, "Then let him see. I can't possibly carry that thing out so blatantly."

Songyan scratched his head, "So how do we transport it?"

"I had someone make a special box with two layers, the upper and lower layers. The sugar is placed on the upper layer, and the box can be opened from the top, so there is sugar on the surface. You can't see what's on the lower layer unless you destroy the entire box. But I don't think he would dare to really break my box." Huanyan explained patiently.

Songyan's eyes lit up, "Princess, you are extremely smart! Princess, how did you come up with this idea? What if he really breaks it? Princess..."

Huanyan covered her face, "Songyan!"

"Princess?"

"Shut up!"

Song Yan quickly pursed her lips, but her hands were still playing dumb. "Hmm?"

Things actually developed just as Huanyan had expected.

So much so that a few days later, the subordinates came to ask the butler:

"The people from Runxuetang are here to deliver the goods again."

The housekeeper didn't even raise his head. "Come here every day? Or candy? Have you opened it and taken a look?"

"They come every day, most of the time they bring two boxes, sometimes one, sometimes three. Our people find excuses or secretly open the boxes when they aren't paying attention, and they are indeed full of candy."

After hearing this, the butler threw the account book at the boy's face. "Then why are you telling me this? Are you asking for trouble?"

The servant kowtowed repeatedly with a red and swollen face. "Yes, yes, yes. Please calm down. Calm down. We are the ones who are meddling in other people's business."

"Oh. Never mind. From now on, people from Runxuetang will come and open the south warehouse without reporting to me. You just need to keep an eye on the warehouse next to the southwest gate."

"Yes, yes, yes." The servant below quickly retreated.

At night, in the huge Hai Mansion, Hai Lao Taijun Wen was holding a bowl of ginseng soup and pushing the door into a courtyard.

Although everyone calls her Hai Lao Taijun, she is only in her forties and with proper maintenance, she still has her charm.

She looked around, put down the ginseng soup, and went out to call a servant.

"Where's the master? Where did you go so late?"

"Madam, the master has gone to Qianxing Pavilion." The servant replied.

"Thousand Star Pavilion? Isn't it empty? Who lives there now?" She frowned.

"Madam, I don't know." The servant lowered his head.

"Don't you know? You serve him every day, don't you know?" Her voice sounded particularly sharp in the darkness.

The servant lowered his head even more. "Madam, I really don't know. I only know that Qianxing Pavilion has been surrounded and no one is allowed to enter at will. Only the master goes there every day."

"Go there every day? Heavily guarded? A beautiful woman hidden in a golden house?" Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind.

She let the servant go, lifted her skirt, and walked towards Qianxing Pavilion.

On the way, several maids came towards us carrying some things.

Seeing her, the maids quickly stopped and stood on both sides of the road to greet her.

"Wait. Stop right there."

The maids looked at each other, but did as they were told.

The tray was filled with rouge, powder, and things for drawing eyebrows and eyes.

She picked up a bucket of snail ink, played with it on her fingertips, with a playful smile on her face.

She put down her inkjet brush and turned to look at the maid next to her, who was holding several jackets and skirts with cloud-patterned edges and gold thread.

She reached out and touched the embroidery on the jacket. The stitches were dense and neat, the picture was lifelike, and the material was soft, comfortable and cool to the touch.

This is what I wear and use, and it is exactly the same size as mine!

What a great honor.

Anger welled up in her and she yelled, "Who is this for?!"

Before she finished speaking, she grabbed the clothes and threw them away, then overturned the tray with one hand, causing the bottles and jars to fall to the ground and break into small pieces of porcelain. The powder in them floated in the wind and blended into the air, exuding a faint fragrance.

Several maids immediately knelt on the ground. "I don't know. I just followed orders."
