Jiang Tangxi looked at Xiao Yuchen and said, "I believe you can handle it. However, you have to be careful. This ghost building is not easy to mess with. They must have other means and strategies."

Xiao Yuchen held Jiang Tangxi's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, Yuyu. With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."

Jiang Tangxi smiled and said, "Well, I believe you. But you also have to pay attention to safety and not put yourself in danger."

The two discussed for a while, then Xiao Yuchen gently kissed Jiang Tangxi's forehead and said, "Okay, Yuyu, you go back and rest first. I still have some things to deal with, and I'll come to you when I'm done."

Jiang Tangxi nodded and said, "Then take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

After saying that, she left the study.

After Jiang Tangxi returned to Feishuang Courtyard, he gently closed the door.

She came into the room alone and sat at the table. The little purple hamster moved restlessly in her palm, as if it could sense her complicated mood at the moment.

Her other hand tightly grasped the emerald green jadeite of life, and her fingers gently stroked its surface.

This green jadeite of life does have an unusual temperature when held in the hand, warm, as if it has life itself.

Jiang Tangxi's thoughts involuntarily returned to the strange incident this afternoon. The mess in the yard and the strange dark clouds in the sky seemed to be still vivid in her mind. She kept thinking about the connection between all these things, but the more she thought, the more confused she felt.

Just then, Xiao Cui gently pushed open the door and walked in, holding a bowl of sour plum soup in her hand.

She carefully placed the sour plum soup on the table, only to find Jiang Tangxi sitting there blankly with a somewhat empty look in his eyes.

Xiao Cui asked softly, "Princess, what's wrong with you? You keep staring at this emerald green stone. Is there anything special about it?"

Jiang Tangxi then slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Cui, and when she saw her, she was stunned.

She found that Xiao Cui's face was red, and there were a few faint fingerprints clearly visible.

Jiang Tangxi's expression changed instantly. She frowned and asked anxiously, "Xiao Cui, what's wrong with your face? What happened?"

Xiao Cui didn't want Jiang Tangxi to be angry because of her affairs, especially now that Jiang Tangxi was pregnant, she didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Tangxi.

So she quickly lowered her head and stammered, "Princess, I'm fine. I just bumped into it accidentally."

Jiang Tangxi's face darkened when she heard this. She asked again with a cold face, "How many fingerprints can be left by bumping into someone? Could it be that you bumped into someone's hand? Xiao Cui, don't hide it from me, tell the truth quickly."

Xiao Cui felt a little flustered when Jiang Tangxi asked her this, and she knew she could no longer hide it.

Seeing Xiao Cui's evasive look, Jiang Tangxi had already guessed about 70% of the situation. She knew it must be the work of someone from the side yard.

Xiao Cui had no choice but to whisper, "Princess, when I brought you the sour plum soup just now, I accidentally bumped into Shen Zien's personal maid, and then the maid fell to the ground. In fact, I really didn't use much force, but Shen Zien suddenly rushed over and slapped me without saying anything. It was indeed my fault that I didn't look at the road. I don't want to embarrass you, Princess, because of me."

Jiang Tangxi was furious when she heard this. She never thought that someone in her courtyard would be beaten for no reason.

This wasn't just a simple slap, it was clearly a slap on her face. She stood up suddenly and walked out the door without saying a word.

It was the middle of winter and there was some heavy snow falling outside.

The white snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, covering the entire yard with a layer of silver.

There was a thin layer of snow on the ground, making it a little slippery to walk on. When Xiao Cui saw Jiang Tangxi's actions, she panicked.

She quickly chased after him, shouting as she did so: "Princess, please slow down, don't fall. Let's forget about this matter, don't pursue it, it's not worth making such a fuss about it."

But how could Jiang Tangxi listen?

She thought that Shen Zien had been restless for several days and had started to cause trouble again. She must teach her a lesson today and let her know that she was not easy to bully.

Jiang Tangxi's pace did not slow down at all, but instead he walked faster.

After a while, Jiang Tangxi arrived at the side yard.

As soon as she stepped into the side yard, she heard Shen Zien's pretentious greeting: "Hey, sister Princess, why are you here? It's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing?"

The voice sounded very fake and made people feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Tangxi walked towards Shen Zien step by step with cold eyes.

"Shen Zien, why did you hit my maid?"

Shen Zien seemed to have expected that Jiang Tangxi would come to question her. There was no panic on her face, but instead a smug smile.

She said slowly, "Princess, please don't be angry. Your maid is clumsy and bumped into my maid this time. What if she bumps into me next time? I am doing this for your own good. I am helping you discipline the servants. You don't have to be so polite."

After hearing what Shen Zien said, Jiang Tangxi felt a surge of anger rising from the back of his head.

She clenched her hands into fists, trying hard to suppress the urge to rush up and slap Shen Zien.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, "Shen Zien, discipline? You? Are you qualified??!! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are obviously looking for trouble on purpose. Don't you just dislike me? What? You can't do anything to me? So you take the people around me as your target?"

Shen Zien was not frightened by Jiang Tangxi's momentum at all. She smiled contemptuously and said, "Sister Princess, what you said is wrong. I am also a person of status in this palace. Can't I take care of a little maid? Besides, she did something wrong, and it is my duty to teach her a lesson."

Jiang Tangxi looked at Shen Zien's arrogant appearance, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

She took a step forward, approached Shen Zien, and said, "Shen Zien, listen to me. You must apologize to Xiao Cui today, otherwise I will never let this matter go. I don't care who you are. In this palace, as long as you dare to bully my people, I will never let you go."

Shen Zien was stunned by Jiang Tangxi's aura for a moment, but she quickly recovered.

She looked up and said, "Apologize? Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong. Sister Princess, please don't go too far. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because the prince pampers you."
