The steward looked into Shen Luoxi's ice-hardened eyes and shook his head in fear, "I will wrap it up for you right now!"
He held the gold hairpin and left quickly. When he handed the well-packaged gold hairpin to Xueyu, he respectfully sent Shen Luoxi away as if he were sending off a god.
It wasn't until the people walked away that he slumped down on the dusty floor of the warehouse.
Shen Luoxi got on the carriage and soon stopped in front of Prince Lian's Mansion.
She stood aside and watched Xueyu step forward to call the door.
The concierge glanced at Shen Luoxi, then turned around and went in to pass the message.
But a quarter of an hour passed, and the door was still closed.
Shen Luoxi frowned slightly, and Xueyu stepped forward to call the door again. It took a while before the door opened.
This time, in addition to the concierge, there were also two maids who looked impatient.
The two maids looked at Shen Luoxi up and down, the contempt between their eyebrows undisguised.
"It turns out you haven't left yet, it's really troublesome!"
"Our princess doesn't have time to see you, you can leave."
Xueyu didn't expect the other party to speak so rudely, and immediately took a step forward in anger, "How dare you be so arrogant to our princess! Is it possible that you haven't learned the rules!"
One of the maids smiled coldly, "Rules are for people who have the same rules. How did Princess Xuan offend our princess at the palace banquet? There is no respect for elders and younger ones, and there are no rules!"
"Leave quickly, you are not welcome in Prince Lian's Mansion!"
Xueyu still wanted to argue with them, but was stopped by Shen Luoxi.
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at the two maids with an indifferent expression, which made the two maids feel a chill.
"I'm here today to apologize to Princess Lian. This is my apology, and I ask the two girls to be accommodating."
Shen Luoxi handed the brocade box in Xueyu's hand to the two maids. The two looked at each other, stretched out their hands to take it, and weighed it. The disgust in their eyes became even stronger.
"How dare you call it an apology gift for just this little thing? Does Princess Xuan think that our pity palace lacks this little thing?"
Shen Luoxi said calmly: "There are still some on the carriage. I personally selected these apology gifts. I hope Princess Lian can forgive me for my rashness at the palace banquet."
"Reckless?" a maid asked.
Shen Luoxi nodded. Although she was forced to come to the palace to apologize due to Cang Yunxuan's lust, there was only one thing she needed to reflect on from beginning to end, and that was her carelessness.
If she had been more vigilant and not let Princess Lian succeed, she wouldn't have to come here to suffer this cowardice now.
The two maids sneered, raised their hands and threw the brocade box out.
Xueyu exclaimed and hurriedly reached out to catch it. When she was about to fall to the ground, she was caught firmly by a fat and swollen hand.
Shen Luoxi looked at the two maids coldly, "Do you know what you are doing?"
The maid smiled contemptuously, "Princess Xuan said she was coming to apologize, but in fact she was not sincere! She even said she was just being reckless!"
"If Princess Xuan hadn't framed our princess in front of the emperor, the emperor would not have banned the princess, and the princess would not be sick now!"
Another maid echoed, "It's all your ugly fault! If you don't leave, we'll call the guards to chase you away!"
Shen Luoxi quickly grasped the key point. She frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What disease does Princess Lian have? Has she been ill for a long time?"
When the two maids heard her asking, their expressions became more and more unhappy.
"Princess Xuan came to visit today, actually just to watch our princess laugh, right?"
"Our princess doesn't need your fake mercy like a cat crying like a mouse! Come here! See the guests off!"
After the words fell, many guards walked out of the door and surrounded Shen Luoxi and Xue Yu.
Shen Luoxi still looked at them calmly, "If Princess Lian is ill for a long time, maybe I can cure her."
The maid taunted, "Do you know how to heal? You brought our princess into trouble, can you afford it?"
"An ugly monster still dares to say arrogant things. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude!"
The guard took another step forward, his sharp knife shining coldly.
Xueyu had never seen such a scene before, and her face turned pale with fright.
She looked at Shen Luoxi in horror and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, what should we do?"
Although Shen Luoxi is powerful, he can't beat four hands with two punches, so he may not be able to escape completely!
One of the maids looked at Shen Luoxi with a sneer, "Since Princess Xuan doesn't know what to do, please help her."
The guard received the order and approached Shen Luoxi and Xue Yu with a knife. Xue Yu was trembling all over and stood in front of her with open hands and red eyes.
"Princess, leave quickly! I will hold them back as long as possible!"
Shen Luoxi's face remained calm, but her eyes were a little colder. Her fingertips moved slightly, and the silver light loomed.
She calmly turned her fingertips, and the next moment the silver needle shot out, accurately piercing the acupuncture point of the guard in front of her.
Two guards fell to the ground, and the others fell down one after another before they understood what happened.
In the blink of an eye, all the guards fell to the ground, leaving only two maids standing with pale faces and trembling.
When they saw Shen Luoxi taking a step forward, they immediately screamed in horror, "You, you dare to commit murder in front of Prince Lian's Mansion! The Prince will not let you go!"
Shen Luoxi said calmly, "They just fainted. Now I want to see Princess Lian."
The two maids had tears in their eyes. Seeing her getting closer and closer, they hurriedly shouted, "Come here! Help! Princess Xuan is going to kill someone!"
Shen Luoxi frowned slightly and raised his hand to seal their mute points, when a clear laughter came from behind.
"It's so lively in front of my second brother's house today."
"Fortunately, my second brother is in a quiet place, otherwise something big would have happened."
Shen Luoxi turned his head and raised his eyes to meet Cang Chenru's smiling eyes.
"Isn't this the third sister-in-law? I heard from the third brother that my sister-in-law is weak and doesn't like to go out on weekdays. Why do you have time to come to the second brother today?"
When the two maids saw Cang Chenru, they seemed to have seen a savior and crawled to his side in embarrassment.
"Please, Your Majesty the Seventh Prince, save this slave!"
When Shen Luoxi saw Cang Chenru sizing her up with a smile, he cursed in his heart. What a coincidence. If Cang Chenru had come a step later, he would have seen two more "human lives" on her hands.
Her expression remained unchanged and she calmly told Cang Chenru the whole story.
Cang Chenru touched his chin in sudden realization, "I see. I never thought that I would encounter such a thing when I was helping my father run errands to deliver something. Since my sister-in-law wants to go in, I will take her in."
When Shen Luoxi heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and the two maids hiding behind him became uneasy.
"Your Highness Seventh, no!"
"Princess Xuan has a grudge against our princess. If she meets our princess, there's no telling what will happen!"
Cang Chenru chuckled, "No, but if you are worried, I will be your sister-in-law's guarantee."
"If something happens, I will let my second brother handle it."
The maid hesitated, while Cang Chenru looked at Shen Luoxi, "Sister-in-law, let's go in."
