The Regent Princess has run away again

Early the next morning.

Xue Zhiyu was woken up by the noise and sat up all of a sudden, "Xiao Qiu!!"

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Xiaoqiu, who was originally outside, pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the young lady's angry face, and her eyes looked as if she wanted to skin her body and eat her.

"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?"

"Well, Madam said she wanted to renovate the Mo Garden."

Xue Zhiyu rubbed her brows. This old witch was really too idle. "What time is it now?"

"It's past the middle of the Yin hour. Miss, I'll go get you some water to wash your face."

Xue Zhiyu nodded, and when Xiaoqiu went out, she listened to the noises outside, and the little sleepiness she had left disappeared completely.

After washing up, Xue Zhiyu was just about to ask Xiaoqiu to bring in breakfast.

There were several knocks on the door.

"Miss Third, breakfast is ready. Please follow me to the front hall," the maid respectfully gestured for invitation, but there was no trace of respect in her eyes.

Xue Zhiyu sneered. She had just changed her clothes when the old witch's people arrived. What a coincidence.

"You came at the right time. You must have been waiting outside since early morning. Your timing is so accurate."

"I dare not. Miss Third, please follow me to the front hall quickly. The master and the mistress have been waiting for a long time," the maid continued to make a gesture of invitation, her brows revealing full of impatience.

But after she talked for a while, the other party still had no intention of paying attention to her, so she couldn't help but look up.

"Snapped!!!"

With a crisp sound, the maid covered her left face in disbelief. She was the lady's personal maid, and this little bitch dared to hit her!

"Miss, why do you hit me, my servant..."

"You keep calling me a servant, but your tone is full of impatience towards me. People who don't know would think you are the master. But it's true. Madam Xue is so busy as the housekeeper. It seems that I have to take good care of you servants for Madam, so as not to offend other nobles in the future."

Xue Zhiyu narrowed her eyes. Waking up early already made her want to go crazy, but who knew something like this would happen so early in the morning. It was really great.

Xiao Qiu was watching from the side. Seeing that the young lady looked thoughtful, she couldn't help but tremble. She didn't know which unlucky person was remembered by the young lady.

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she didn't even look at the maid and walked out of the yard with Xiaoqiu.

In the restaurant, the table was full of breakfast, but no one was eating. Prime Minister Xue, who was sitting at the head of the table, still had a frosty expression on his face. No one dared to speak. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

"Oh, so I was really the last one to arrive."

Hearing the familiar voice, Aunt Zhou, who was sitting below, finally relaxed her tense heart.

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she sat down consciously, glanced at her cheap father, and seeing that his face was still very sour, she picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of cake on his plate.

"Father, try this. It won't taste good if it gets cold. You still have to go to court later."

Xue Yulu's eyes were full of contempt. Just when she was about to mock him, Prime Minister Xue picked up the chopsticks and started eating. The frost in his eyes faded a little, but his expression still didn't look good.

"Why are you late?"

Seeing that her cheap father had taken the bait, Xue Zhiyu pretended to sigh helplessly and glanced at Madam Xue casually, "It was because of the maid's words and actions. I was afraid that she would offend the noble, so I taught her a lesson. Who knew that she would rely on being Madam's person, and no one could teach her a lesson. I know that Madam must be busy with all kinds of things on weekdays, so she neglected to teach. After all, how could Madam have such an arrogant servant under her, Madam, don't you think so?"

Seeing the little bitch suddenly asking her this question, Madam Xue held the handkerchief tightly under her sleeve, but kept a serious face and said, "How dare you! Which servant dares to be so arrogant? Madam Zhang, quickly bring that servant in so that we can give an explanation to Miss Three!"

The middle-aged woman serving outside responded and rushed over with a few servants.

After a while, the maid who originally came to call her came in, pressed by several servants, and there was still some fear in her eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

Hearing Madam Xue's roar, the maid didn't even dare to raise her head. She was trembling all over. Before she could react, she was pinned down by the servants.

"It seems that I have neglected to discipline you on a daily basis. You dare to deceive the Lord! Why don't you confess your sins now!"

"Slave..."

"Hey, Madam, wait a minute. Look at how trembling this servant is when she speaks. If I wait until she finishes, won't it delay my father's going to court?"

After Xue Zhiyu finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the maid and squatted down. She raised her wrist casually and then said kindly, "Why don't you tell the truth quickly? If you tell even a lie, you know what the consequences will be, right?"

The maid raised her head and saw the warning in Madam Xue's eyes. She wanted to grit her teeth and keep silent, but she couldn't control her mouth at all.

"It was Aunt Zhang who asked me to do this. She said it was to give Miss a warning and let her know who is the real head of the household. Don't think that you are great just because you have the Emperor's favor. As long as you are in the Xue Mansion, you have to listen to Madam."

"Nonsense! How could my mother be that kind of person!" Xue Yulu was so angry that she couldn't help but retort on the spot.

Xue Zhiyu laughed when she heard this. Looking at Xue Yulu's eyes, she realized that she was not afraid of god-like opponents but pig-like teammates. Look, this was not her fault. It was her precious daughter who did the bad thing.

Mrs. Xue's face was as pale as a wall. She opened her mouth but before she could say anything, Prime Minister Xue slammed the table and stood up.

"Humph! Is this your way of managing a household?! I think you need to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. As for the power to manage the household, it will be handed over to... Aunt Zhou. You will hand over the power to manage the household later."

After saying that, he didn't sit down again, just flicked his sleeves and walked out.

Aunt Zhou was a little confused after getting the power to run the household for no reason, until Xue Zhiyu gently touched her with her elbow, and then she came to her senses.

Madam Xue's face was extremely ugly the whole time, and she didn't say a word. Xue Zhiyu didn't care about her so much, and said, "I have to trouble Madam to hand over the power of the household later. Madam, you should also have a good rest."

"....Okay..." Mrs. Xue said this through gritted teeth, her face showing undisguised anger, her chest heaving with anger, as if she would suffocate and faint at any time.

Although the old witch was deprived of power, she was so happy that she wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate, but her mother was not a good housekeeper, oh... it was a headache...

I still have to eat breakfast, so I sat back in my seat and started eating without paying attention to the gazes coming towards me.

Seeing them leave, Xue Yulu almost smashed the things on the table. She looked at Madam Xue in confusion and said, "Mom, you really have to hand over the power of the family. Otherwise, go talk to father tonight, maybe..."

"It was all because of you, an idiot, that things got messed up. If you hadn't interrupted, how could father be so determined to take away mother's power as the head of the family?"

Xue Yulu said unhappily on the side, how could she have such a stupid sister who was as dull as a pig, she was really incapable of accomplishing anything and always caused trouble!

"Enough! Isn't it enough? Take care of yourselves during this period. I'm leaving first." Mrs. Xue walked out with a grim face, leaving only two people in the front hall.

Qingju.

Aunt Zhou was still immersed in the fact that she had obtained the power to manage the household, but the maid who was serving her had a very happy face and said with a giggle, "Aunt, it's a good thing that you have obtained the power to manage the household. For so many years, Madam has made you suffer so much, both openly and secretly, relying on the power to manage the household. Now it is finally over."

"Cui'er, don't talk nonsense. The master has only handed over the management to me temporarily. It won't be long before the power of the household will be returned to Madam," Aunt Zhou shook her head, motioning Cui'er to stop talking.

Cui'er curled her lips, didn't say anything else, and stepped aside obediently.

"Mom, my cheap dad hasn't said when he'll give me the money, maybe it's permanent," Xue Zhiyu said coquettishly, holding Aunt Zhou's arm as she sat down.

Aunt Zhou was amused and helpless, "That's your father. I thought you were suddenly confused, but it turns out that's not the case. Don't call him cheap dad anymore."

"Okay, okay, I heard you." Whether to call out or not is another matter. Xue Zhiyu secretly added the last sentence in her heart.

Just as the mother and daughter were chatting happily, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Miss San, someone from the government office outside the door wants to see you. He said there's something urgent."
