Sima Fei frowned as he watched Madam Ke and the two men in black discussing something.

Ke Shi seems to be Rong Mama's cousin, right? What was Mother thinking? By making her the head mama, wasn't she worried that she might harbor resentment because of Rong Mama's affairs?

He knew that his mother and sister would not listen to him, so he had no choice but to go to his father.

The son-in-law Sima Qin was confined to the Prince Consort's Mansion, and his daily source of news was his son Sima Fei.

The treasury of the princess's mansion was robbed and someone framed him. The princess was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the prince consort's mansion.

Not only were all his property confiscated, but they also discovered the thousands of acres of fertile land he had given to his children from other wives.

Sima Fei recounted everything that had happened at home over the past two days. "Dad, you're under house arrest now, and thefts continue to occur in the Princess's residence. This means Dad has been framed. But Mother won't let him in."

Pi Maqin smiled bitterly and said, "Your mother is not a fool. If you can think of it, how could she not think of it?"

Sima Fei was puzzled: "Then mother also..."

Sima Qin suddenly felt uneasy. "What did your mother do?"

Sima Fei said helplessly: "For the sake of stability in the mansion, she suppressed all the recent thefts. Even so, rumors are still spreading in the mansion.

So my mother insisted that it was my father who did it, and forced the Sima family to pay one million taels.

Dad, mother is forcing the Sima family so hard, without any regard for our dignity. I don't even have the face to see grandpa now."

Sima Qin smiled bitterly, "What's your face or mine worth?"

He only has that son in his heart. Not to mention the Sima family, even his other children are just his tools.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this woman looks like she's indifferent to worldly affairs. She's actually very generous!

The Yanyan Lake Hot Spring earned a hundred gold coins in just three days of opening, which is equivalent to one thousand taels of silver.

A hundred gold coins might be a fortune for an ordinary family, but the eldest princess was still not satisfied.

Madam Ke said, "Your Highness, why don't you embezzle some of that money? It will help you get through this period."

The eldest princess waved her hand, "No, that money cannot be touched."

Madam Ke frowned and said, "But now the food and clothing in the mansion are all on credit. That's easy to deal with. But we have to prepare the gifts for the crown prince's coronation and wedding. I'm afraid it won't work if we keep buying them on credit."

The eldest princess's eyes were cold. "Hmph! If we don't catch that ghostly creature, no matter how much stuff we buy, we won't be able to keep it. Has there been any news from the Taoist priest?"

Madam Ke shook her head. "Not yet today, but someone came to report yesterday that they had made a discovery."

"Well, it's good to have discovered something. I want to see what kind of monster dares to cause trouble in my princess's mansion!"

Nanny Ke looked at the Grand Princess's cold eyes and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The eldest princess frowned, "What else do you want?"

Madam Ke quickly said, "It's still about money. The mansion hasn't paid their monthly salary for two months. The servants are fine, but the young masters are complaining about it in their words and deeds."

The eldest princess frowned. Kang Ning knew the situation at home. Besides, she never brought money with her when she went out. If she wanted something, she just had to mention the name of the princess's mansion. When had she ever expected monthly allowance?

Pei Er is even more so, and he also has the Sima Mansion to rely on.

Who else?

Thinking of something, the eldest princess's face turned even colder. "Are you talking about those two bastards? Humph! A concubine's child is worthy of being called the master?

I am already being merciful by letting them live, and they still want to dream of monthly wages?"

She snorted coldly and said, "Tell them that if they want to live, they must lie still like dogs for me. If they get in my way, I will make sure they die without a complete corpse."

"Yes." Madam Ke agreed and went out.

Looking at Madam Ke's back, the eldest princess felt annoyed.

If Madam Rong were here, she wouldn't have to ask for permission to handle these things and could handle them on her own.

Unlike this guest nanny, she can do the tasks assigned to her well, but she will only move when you say a word. She can only execute orders and cannot share the worries of her master.

Madam Rong, what a pity...

Nanny Ke walked out of the room, looked at the gray sky, and couldn't help touching the corners of her wet eyes.

Cousin, you and I entered the palace together, from being palace maids to the Grand Princess's confidant.

We have walked together for so many years, you are loyal and devoted to the Lord. Every time we talk, you say the most about how much the princess trusts you and how you have to devote yourself to her.

But in the end, the princess framed you and took your life. The master's trust is so cheap. Is your loyalty worth it?

I am also a slave, and my whole family are the princess's slaves. We prosper together and suffer together.

So I can't avenge you, but I can still make that person feel upset.

In the Yanyan Lake hot springs, the treasure-hunting rat Junjun hid at the bottom of the lake to avoid being hunted by Taoist Si Gong.

It knew that the reason it was targeted by the stinky Taoist priest was because it had rubbed the tracking incense on its body.

The fragrance is very light, and no matter how you wash it, it will take at least ten days or half a month to dissipate.

Xunxiangfeng, which can track this kind of fragrance, is afraid of water. It thinks that since it can't go out recently, it might as well hide in this hot spring and enjoy it.

And in the past two days, many beauties came to take a hot spring bath.

It originally wanted to hide under the water to feast its eyes, but it found that the women here were taking a hot spring bath with their clothes on.

Tsk, boring.

With nothing to do, the little guy just lay at the bottom of the water, floating slowly along with the current. He would come out for a breath every half an hour and then go back into the water again.

As it flowed, when it came out of the water again to breathe, it found itself washed into a cave by the current.

There were snakes, insects, rats and ants in the cave, and it played and chatted with them.

Little did they know that danger was approaching.

Let’s not talk about the treasure-hunting mouse who was having so much fun that he didn’t want to leave.

However, these playboys each have their own thoughts.

Prince Yin: "Is everything arranged?"

"Don't worry, Prince. Our people have successfully entered the Yanyan Lake Hot Spring Manor. We guarantee that this time you will be able to bring the beauty home with you."

Yu Ding frowned and said, "Sir, our mission is to be a playboy in the capital. Princess Kangle is an official appointed by the court, not some ordinary lady. Are we going too far by doing this?"

If we displease the Emperor and he sends us back to our fiefdom, the consequences will be more than we gain."

Prince Yin looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I was just trying to save him."

Pingyang Marquis Mansion,

Chen Yiping looked at the hairpin in his hand and asked in surprise: "Dad, do you know what it means to give a hairpin to a girl?"

Pingyang Hou: "Nonsense, of course it's a token of love? You find a way to give it to Princess Kangle. As long as the hairpin is given away, won't this wife be settled?"

Back then, this was how he got his wife.

Chen Yiping's eyes widened, and he asked in even greater surprise, "Dad, you want us to teach each other privately?"

"What do you mean by private transfer? That's such a harsh word," Pingyang Hou kicked his son.

"Dad originally wanted to come directly to your house to propose marriage, but Princess Kangle is still young, and I'm afraid she'll refuse. That's why I want you to work hard on your own and not let anyone else snatch you away!"

Let's settle it first, and when the rumors die down, he can come and propose marriage. Wouldn't that be a natural thing?

Oh! He was really worried about this family.
