An hour later, the sky turned pale.

Following a burst of crisp bird calls, Shen Qingge stretched on the bed and opened his eyes.

The short rest took away her fatigue. Now she was full of energy. She sat up suddenly and thought about how to leave the house smoothly today.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door. She looked out of the window and saw that it was the eunuch chief Zhang De, who came with a group of soldiers, holding torches and looking dusty.

Shen Qingge smiled and said, "You came at the right time!"

She had no reason to force her way out of the house, and the arrival of this group of people was exactly what she wanted.

The soldiers standing outside the door were quite respectful. Although they were extremely anxious, they still stood guard at the door and only allowed Nanny Wang, who was in charge, to knock on the door gently.

After knocking for a long time, Shen Qingge slowly opened the door.

She was wearing a silk gauze dress, with sleepy eyes and a face full of impatience.

When the maid Yunxiu saw her master coming out, she quickly stepped forward, raised her hand and stood beside her respectfully.

Nanny Wang bowed slightly upon seeing this and said, "Princess, please forgive us for disturbing your rest!"

Shen Qingge just glanced at her twice, expressionless and silent.

At this point, Nanny Wang's face froze, and she didn't know how to start. She wasn't sure about the temper of her new master. She only heard that the princess had a bad temper, so she didn't dare to offend her.

Zhang De, standing by, could no longer wait. He took two steps forward and asked in a questioning tone, "Princess, the treasury was robbed and burned last night. You are in the west courtyard. Do you know anything about this?"

"I was so tired last night that I went to bed early, and I didn't even notice!"

"Oh, really? I heard there were sounds of people moving around in your yard late last night!"

After saying that, Zhang De looked at Nanny Wang, who smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingge stepped forward and slapped her with such force that Nanny Wang's cheeks turned red and the corners of her mouth bled.

"How dare you spy on your master!"

Her action stunned everyone instantly.

Nanny Wang is an elder in the mansion. Even the prince has to give her three points of face, but she was slapped in the face just like that. The princess is really a bit fierce!

Nanny Wang was extremely angry, but she could only suppress her anger. After all, the princess's father was Marquis Xuanping.

She had no choice but to lower her head, cover her face, and apologize with great pain.

Yunxiu beside her was also shocked, but she thought the young lady wanted to show off her power, so she didn't say much.

But Zhang De refused to accept this. He was the prince's confidant and was not afraid of anyone in the palace! He also knew that the princess was just a pawn of the prince and not to be feared.

So, he blocked Nanny Wang behind him and said sternly, "Princess, what do you mean..."

Before he could finish, Shen Qingge took a step forward and slapped Zhang De hard again.

Zhang De had no time to dodge. He covered his face in pain and looked at Shen Qingge in shock, unable to speak for a long time.

Everyone was petrified in an instant, and there was complete silence!

Yunxiu also stepped forward and asked in a low voice what was wrong with the master!

Just when Zhang De reacted and was about to attack, unexpectedly, Shen Qingge actually sat down on the spot and burst into tears!

She wept heartbrokenly, as if she had suffered a grievous injustice. Tears flowed like a flood, streaming down her cheeks. She kept crying out that the palace had mistreated her, framed her, and that the servants were bullying her.

Everyone...

……

Even Zhang De, who was about to argue with her, became at a loss.

Yunxiu knelt beside her and tried to comfort her. Nanny Wang ignored the burning pain on her face and wanted to go forward to support her.

What was supposed to be a simple routine inquiry turned into a complete farce.

More and more servants came over after hearing the noise, forming a circle in the courtyard. Even the few servants that Shen Qingge brought with her as a dowry from the Marquis' Mansion hurried over following the noise.

Everyone secretly looked at the new princess and looked at each other in confusion.

Shen Qingge, who was sitting on the ground, dancing, crying and making a fuss, suddenly shouted at the crowd: "Uncle Wang Li, pull our carriage over here. I want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I can't stay here for another day!"

After saying that, she stood up, turned around and rushed into the house to pack up her belongings.

No one dared to go forward and could only let her make a fuss. They listened to her throwing things around in the room, and after a while she ran out with her bag.

I can only sigh that the cold wind on this early autumn morning is a bit biting!

When the servants saw their master running out, they had to follow quickly.

In this way, Shen Qingge ran in front while crying, and the servants chased her all the way behind, until the group rushed straight out of the palace gate, leaving the dumb guards behind.

She is so, so watery,

Leaving the house!

After leaving the palace, Shen Qingge hurriedly boarded the carriage, took a few of the dowry servants from the Marquis's mansion, and drove away...

On the other side, Xiao Mo was standing in the burnt-out treasury, staring at the ruins in front of him, his face utterly devastated.

There were no signs of the door lock of the treasury being pried open, the windows were all locked and not damaged, and the roof tiles were intact, but there were the remains of an oil lamp inside the treasury.

What's even more strange is that there aren't many signs of items being burned in the treasury.

All signs indicate that the treasury was first robbed and then burned down.

Who can enter and exit the heavily guarded Prince Qin's Palace freely?

Even if we have this ability, how can we transport the large amount of items in the treasury out under everyone's noses?

He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, and he was furious and heartbroken.

At this time, another soldier came hurriedly to report that the princess had left the mansion crying and taking the servants of the marquis' mansion with her.

Xiao Mo, who was already upset, was furious. He looked sinisterly at the soldier who came to report the news and ordered the guards beside him to drag him away and give him fifty lashes.

The soldier burst into a miserable cry for mercy. Xiao Mo directly drew the sword of the soldier next to him and stabbed him in the throat with one sword, making him shut up.

Xiao Mo didn't have time to care about the "crazy" woman at the moment. It was just right that she wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so that he wouldn't have to kill her himself!

In the speeding carriage, Yunxiu cried anxiously: "Master, you have been very strange these past two days. Have you suffered any injustice? You must tell me!"

"Yunxiu, from now on, listen to me and don't ask any more questions. I've received a tip that the Marquis's mansion will be confiscated and exiled today. Here are the indentures for you and Uncle Wang Li and the others, along with two hundred taels of silver for each. Take them!"

When you reach the big tree in front of the Marquis' Mansion, drive the carriage out of the city without looking back."

"You...want to send us away?"

Yunxiu trembled in disbelief, saying, "But this is a serious matter, the young lady will definitely not speak nonsense." She thought of the young lady's abnormal behavior in the past few days, and her face turned pale.

"Yes, you must believe me. Take the money and leave immediately, and live a good life. Otherwise, the mansion will collapse, and you will all be sold out immediately!"

Yunxiu clutched the banknotes and the indenture in her hands and said goodbye with tears in her eyes: "Princess... No, Miss, take care."

Call...

We’ve arrived at the Marquis’ Mansion!

Shen Qingge jumped off the carriage and saw Yunxiu and the others walking away. He turned around resolutely and walked towards the Marquis' Mansion.
