Best friends dressed up in ancient times to become mistresses? You run, I run too!

……

"Paper Kite, I may come from humble beginnings, but I'm not a fool."

"You want to use me to enter the Crown Prince's residence, and even want to get close to His Highness the Crown Prince. I have no objection to any of that, and I can even provide you with convenience."

"But all of this is only possible if I am willing. You don't have to disbelieve me, because all I want in my life is money and freedom, the wind and gentleness."

Her ambitions lay not in the confines of the inner quarters, nor in any particular man.

"So I can pretend I don't know or even tacitly approve of your ambitions, but that doesn't mean you can go against my wishes, wrong me, or even step on me to get to the top."

Judging from her posture just now, Shen Ningzhu seriously suspected that she wanted to force her to apologize to the Shen family.

This is treating Shen Ningzhu like a pushover, trying to bully her at will. This is outrageous!

The kite was stunned and looked up in disbelief.

Staring wide-eyed at Shen Ningzhu, he saw the murderous intent in her eyes and trembled on the ground, truly terrified.

"Miss...Miss, please spare me! I...I really know I was wrong this time."

After a long while, no sound came from above.

But she remained firmly prostrate on the ground, maintaining her kneeling posture, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Seeing that she was completely obedient this time, Shen Ningzhu lazily raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "Get up."

"Thank you, miss."

"Hmm?" Shen Ningzhu gestured towards the bowl of bird's nest placed to the side. Zhiyuan quickly and deftly picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful, and fed it to Shen Ningzhu.

His attitude was much more respectful than before.

After taking a refreshing shower and having a good meal, Shen Ningzhu planned to go back to bed for a nap.

Unfortunately, the cicadas in the courtyard kept chirping, giving me a headache.

"In this sweltering heat, aren't these beasts tired? They just keep squealing and squawking. What are they trying to achieve?"

Paper Kite Paper Meaning: "..."

The two looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.

What is Miss saying? Zhiyuan shook her head slightly to indicate that she did not know, as she was also confused.

Then Shen Ningzhu said irritably:

"Go to the front yard and call a few people to chase away the cicadas. Besides, it's too stuffy inside; how am I supposed to take a nap like this?"

"Go and get a few basins of ice, and place them in several corners of the room."

Paper Kite Paper Meaning: "..."

Having just offended the entire Shen family today, how can they possibly agree to all these demands now?

"Go on, what are you waiting for?"

Paper Kite Nie Ruozhe stepped forward, "Miss... I'm afraid the steward won't agree, after all..."

Shen Ningzhu picked up a round fan and fanned herself, raising an eyebrow indifferently.

"After all what? You haven't even asked, and you already know the other party won't agree?"

Paper Kite: Is that even a question?

Shen Ningzhu said, "Just go ahead and make your demands. If the other party is unwilling... just use the same method you used to deal with those three men at the door to deal with them."

"Yes, just like you think, bring up His Highness the Crown Prince, threaten them, and make him do as you say."

Tomorrow I'll have to deal with "Granny Rong" from the palace. I don't know if it's one person or several, or if she'll be pricked with needles.

In short, she needs to be prepared.

You need to eat well, sleep well, and be in a good mood, otherwise how will you have the energy to beat your opponent?

The kite flew away, and after a short while, it returned empty-handed.

"Where are the things?" Shen Ningzhu asked her.

He looked somewhat embarrassed.

Approaching her, he whispered, "Miss, the eldest young master has arrived and says he wants to see you. He's waiting at the courtyard gate."
